Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 767

She felt that her lazy days were truly coming to an end! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Ji Nan shook his head. "I already ate on the way here. You go ahead."

Ye Yuning nodded. "Okay, wait for me a moment."

There was no need to say too much to Ji Nan; after all, he listened to Qin Jinchuan.

Ji Nan turned and waited for Ye Yuning in the living room.

Ye Yuning directly dialed Qin Jinchuan’s number, and he quickly picked up. "Ningning."

"How did you know about what happened last night?"

"I just know."

Qin Jinchuan didn’t answer directly.

How could he not know about things concerning Ye Yuning? This period in Upper City was crucial for her, and naturally, he paid extra attention. He’d originally thought that Xiao Linye assigning Lai Shuo to her side wouldn’t be a major issue. However, he never expected Lai Shuo to behave like that last night!

When it came to Ye Yuning, Qin Jinchuan was completely unwilling to compromise this time, which was why he had sent Ji Nan over first thing in the morning.

Ye Yuning said, "Actually, there’s no need. I can handle it."

"If I didn’t make my stance clear now, the Xiao Family would probably be trying to drive you to your death," Qin Jinchuan huffed.

The Xiao Family, the Qin Family...! These two families were now cooperating with such tacit understanding; Xiao Linye had probably been drawn into their schemes. Especially Old Master Xiao. Qin Jinchuan really felt that this man... He used to think Old Master Xiao was quite bold and righteous in his youth. How did he become like this?

Ye Yuning laughed. "Old Master Xiao? Drive me to my death?"

It would be good enough if she didn’t drive others to their deaths!

But after this commotion, Ye Yuning also understood that Upper City was indeed not friendly to her at the moment. And she, especially at times like these, could not afford to be a pushover.

But there was one thing! She’d made her move, and the Qi Family had responded rather maliciously.

"He can’t drive you to your death, but hasn’t Xiao Linye stayed away from Xiangti for several days because of Qi Mulan?"

Ye Yuning retorted, "Him not coming is exactly what you want, isn’t it?"

Coming to Xiangti! As if he were an emperor choosing which concubine to visit! Just because Xiao Linye hadn’t come to Xiangti, was she supposed to be upset?

Qin Jinchuan replied, "Indeed, it suits me!"

"Then that settles it."

"But tell me, what exactly does Old Master Xiao see in that Qi Mulan, the type who’s always threatening suicide?"

Ye Yuning remained silent.

It would have been better if he hadn’t brought it up. But now that he had, she felt Qin Jinchuan had really hit the nail on the head.

Exactly. What did Old Master Xiao like about Qi Mulan? There were plenty of other girls from well-matched families.

"What difference does the reason make," Ye Yuning said.

Qin Jinchuan conceded, "True. You just need to avoid falling into their traps. If it really doesn’t work out, you can marry me directly. I’d like to see who would dare to trouble you then."

Ye Yuning said, "I’m hanging up."

This man seemed so mature and composed; Ye Yuning just couldn’t understand why he was being so flippant. Marry him? What talk of marriage? Right now, she only wanted to focus on her career. Everything else could wait!

Now, Ye Yuning had absolutely no desire to engage with those ridiculous schemes.

"Alright. Ji Nan will stay by your side for this period. If you don’t agree, then I’ll personally stay with you."

"Then Ji Nan it is."

Having Qin Jinchuan follow her around? Absolutely not.

She hung up on Qin Jinchuan.

Ye Yuning quickly finished her porridge and then left the house.

Instead of taking her to the studio directly, Ji Nan first took her to the hospital.

Ye Yuning asked, "Why are we at the hospital?"

Ji Nan replied, "Your hand injury is quite serious. It’s best to get it treated before you go."

Ye Yuning looked at her palm. It had been cut by the bottle last night and also scraped badly when she was carrying those rocks. She had only given it some simple treatment last night before sleeping.

It really was quite painful now!

Compared to Lai Shuo, having Ji Nan by her side was much more reassuring. However, Ji Nan wouldn’t dare behave like Lai Shuo. Lai Shuo probably only dared to be so arrogant because Xiao Linye’s attitude towards Ye Yuning was currently unclear. Ji Nan, on the other hand, was very clear about Qin Jinchuan’s intentions; he treated Ye Yuning with the deference due to a young mistress.

To put it bluntly, it all depended on their respective masters’ attitudes!

After her wounds were treated, she came out. Ye Yuning’s hand was bandaged. At her request, it wasn’t wrapped too thickly, as she would need to use her hands a lot in the coming days.

As soon as she arrived at the office, Xiao Linye’s call came through.

Ye Yuning didn’t answer it. When he had called last night, she had turned off her phone. Now, she simply ignored his call.

「Half an hour later.」

Ye Yuning was in the large conference room, working on drafts with a few designers when Luo Xin rushed in.

"Boss."

"What’s the matter?"

"Lord Xiao Qi has arrived. I’ve taken him to the guest room," Luo Xin said respectfully.

Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow, looking at her with visible approval.

She praised, "Well done."

Lai Shuo treated her like an outsider; her own people, therefore, could no longer treat Xiao Linye as one of *her* people. Since they were both outsiders to each other now, neither should occupy too significant a place in the other’s life.

Luo Xin asked, "Will you see him? I told him you were out, but he insisted on waiting for you."

Ye Yuning instructed, "Offer him a glass of water first. We mustn’t neglect our courtesies."

"Okay."

Luo Xin nodded and went out.

Ye Yuning didn’t say whether she would see him or not, but her current detached stance already made her attitude towards Xiao Linye clear.
