Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 764

For the next three days, Xiao Linye didn’t return to Xiangti.

It went without saying what means Qi Mulan had used to keep him. Now, Ye Yuning didn’t even know how to describe Xiao Linye.

Back during their time at Shanyu Pavilion, she’d never imagined Xiao Linye would handle affairs with women so...

So what?

Thinking of this, Ye Yuning was even less sure how to describe it.

He hadn’t returned to Xiangti.

Kang Xuan had also gone on a business trip for her, traveling the entire region and constantly sending back videos and photos.

Seeing these incredibly beautiful landscapes, Ye Yuning was convinced she hadn’t chosen the wrong place. Consequently, her design work progressed with even more urgency.

For these three days, she had worked overtime in the studio almost every night, not leaving until around eleven o’clock!

Although Lai Shuo also worked overtime at Xiao Corporation, he probably hadn’t pushed himself that hard.

Therefore, every time he waited for Ye Yuning, his expression was incredibly sour.

「The third day!」

When Ye Yuning finished work, it was even later than the previous two nights—nearly one in the morning.

Needless to say, Lai Shuo’s expression could be described as black as the bottom of a pot.

Ye Yuning didn’t coddle him. As they passed a late-night snack stall, she coldly spat out two words, "Stop the car."

Lai Shuo, having accompanied her during her overtime, was already exhausted.

Now, seeing that she wasn’t heading straight back to Xiangti and even wanted to get out of the car, his expression darkened further.

"Miss Ye, it’s not safe outside at this late hour. You should go straight home!"

His tone was respectful enough, but his attitude left something to be desired.

Ye Yuning closed her eyes. "I’m hungry!"

Her restrained tone clearly carried an anger she couldn’t suppress.

Lai Shuo was silent.

Ye Yuning was genuinely hungry.

The studio had been overwhelmingly busy these past two days; most of them had probably skipped dinner.

Chen Wei had also been too busy to remember. Right now, Ye Yuning was simply starving.

It had to be said, there was a reason Kang Xuan was favored by Xiao Linye, and by her too. No matter how busy they were, Kang Xuan always took good care of their daily needs. But Lai Shuo? Xiao Linye had told him to stay by her side, and that was all he did. He wouldn’t lift a finger to do anything more! The thought infuriated Ye Yuning.

Hearing she was hungry, Lai Shuo visibly stiffened before saying, "Then we should head back to Xiangti."

"Lai Shuo, are you here to be my driver, or are you here to act like my father?"

Why so many excuses?

Ye Yuning was already fuming. It was one thing when she was swamped with work. But now, seeing Lai Shuo’s attitude, she was immediately reminded of the rotten things Xiao Linye had done.

The anger simmering inside her could truly no longer be suppressed.

Lai Shuo’s breathing hitched.

Clearly, he hadn’t expected Ye Yuning to lash out at him so directly.

Lai Shuo remained silent, his expression darkening once more.

Finally, he made a U-turn and drove back to the late-night snack stall.

Ye Yuning slammed the car door shut, got out, and immediately ordered grilled skewers and mulled beer from the stall.

The weather was cool now. If it were summer, she would have ordered it chilled.

Being a late-night snack spot, it was currently peak time and bustling with people.

The grilling took some time. Lai Shuo remained in the car, waiting for Ye Yuning without getting out. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Ye Yuning didn’t bother with him.

His attitude as an assistant is infuriating enough to look at.

Once the skewers arrived, Ye Yuning immediately grabbed one and started eating. She then took a sip of the mulled beer with sweet fermented rice; the taste was simply divine.

Lai Shuo, sitting in the car, saw Ye Yuning behaving like this, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

It was clear that Lai Shuo thought she was uncouth!

The alcohol and the aroma of roasting meat filled the air, a combination that often loosened inhibitions.

Ye Yuning had only finished half a glass of beer when two shabbily dressed men sauntered over and stood across from her table.

And they whistled at her!

Ye Yuning shot them a cold glare, but the two didn’t show any signs of backing down.

One of them, looking her up and down lewdly, said, "Hey gorgeous, all alone?"

Ye Yuning subconsciously glanced in the direction of the car.

Lai Shuo must have noticed the situation over here, but he showed no intention of getting out of the car.

Ye Yuning paid them no mind and didn’t respond, simply lowering her head to continue eating.

But ruffians will be ruffians. Their behavior is characterized by a whole range of obnoxious acts, like being tactless and harassing others.

The two men even sat down right at her table.

One of them, grinning lewdly, picked up one of her skewers and started eating it.

The other grabbed the beer Ye Yuning had been drinking and took a gulp.

"The night is long, little sister, you must be lonely, huh? How about we head over to the Jinling Hotel later?"

The Jinling Hotel was right across the street, its brightly lit sign particularly conspicuous.

Her remaining half-glass of beer had already been guzzled down by the lecherous man.

Ye Yuning slammed her half-eaten skewer onto the plate.

Fixing her gaze on the man holding her beer glass, her eyes filled with a dangerous, icy glint, she bit out a single word, "Scram!"
