Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 769

Ye Yuning gave him an icy glare.

Xiao Linye just looked at her, his eyes seeming to say that if she didn’t speak, he wouldn’t leave today.

Irritated, Ye Yuning picked up the water cup from the table, took a sip, and then tossed out a statement, "I worked overtime last night and didn’t have dinner. After midnight, I went out for a late-night snack and encountered two thugs. Lai Shuo saw it and didn’t help."

Xiao Linye was rendered speechless.

The air instantly stilled.

Xiao Linye’s breathing hitched violently!

In disbelief, he looked at Ye Yuning. "He saw it?"

The moment he spoke, his tone was clearly filled with utter disbelief!

Ye Yuning retorted, "He knew I was injured, so how could he possibly not have seen me being molested by two thugs?"

"Xiao Linye, I really want to know, what was your main purpose in assigning Lai Shuo to my side? Was it just to monitor me?"

Besides knowing whether she met Qin Jinchuan each day, what other use did Lai Shuo serve?

Xiao Linye’s thin lips were tightly pursed, a deep, dangerous light flickering in his eyes.

He swallowed hard and looked at Ye Yuning again, wanting to say something, but though his lips moved, no words came out.

Eventually, he stood up, his entire being radiating an icy chill.

「Twenty minutes later.」

Xiao Linye appeared at Xiao’s.

Lai Shuo had informed Xiao Linye the previous night that he wouldn’t be picking up Ye Yuning today, so he had gone directly to Xiao’s this morning to clock in.

Seeing Xiao Linye approach, he respectfully stepped forward. "Sir, the meeting is about to start. All the materials are prepared."

BANG!

As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy punch struck Lai Shuo’s face.

Lai Shuo was dazed, his thoughts scattered and impossible to collect.

Before he could react, his collar was violently grabbed, and another punch landed on his face!

There were many people in the office at that moment!

Witnessing this scene, everyone was too shocked to react.

After what felt like countless punches, the frustration Xiao Linye had accumulated finally seemed to dissipate significantly.

He straightened his disheveled clothes and, looking down at Lai Shuo who lay on the ground still dazed, bit out, "Get out of Xiao’s right now!"

The crowd was stunned into silence.

Lai Shuo was equally dumbfounded.

Hearing Xiao Linye’s command, everyone thought they had misheard, looking at him in utter disbelief.

Lai Shuo had been with him for many years.

His businesses abroad had always been managed by Lai Shuo and Kang Xuan, who were constantly by his side!

All eyes then turned to Lai Shuo, silently questioning what he could have possibly done to provoke such intense fury from Xiao Linye.

This was especially true for Lai Shuo. Upon hearing Xiao Linye’s words, his already scattered thoughts seemed to shatter completely.

"Sir, Sir..."

Xiao Linye showed no intention of listening. He turned around coldly, then slammed the door to his office.

He then picked up the phone to call the HR department, instructing them to immediately assign him a new assistant.

As for Lai Shuo, he was to be fired immediately!

This was no longer a simple matter of transferring him to some remote, harsh post; Xiao Linye never wanted to see Lai Shuo again.

The HR department, upon receiving this call, immediately snapped to attention.

Changing the assistant in the CEO’s office was a major event!

Xiao Linye slammed down the phone. Just then, Lai Shuo, his face covered in injuries, knocked and entered.

Xiao Linye was signing documents, his head down. Lai Shuo, his entire body stiff, came to stand rigidly opposite Xiao Linye’s desk.

"Sir, I... I know I was wrong..."

He immediately admitted his mistake, his attitude sincere.

Xiao Linye didn’t even look up.

This indifferent attitude made Lai Shuo even more rigid.

He had assumed that Xiao Linye would immediately rush to Qi Mulan’s side if any issue arose with her.

He had thought Xiao Linye’s concern for his ex-wife was merely out of a sense of obligation.

However, it now seemed the situation was not as simple as he had imagined.

Xiao Linye’s thoughts and intentions ran deep!

In the current situation, no one knew what he was truly suppressing in his heart. It could all be just a facade.

But regarding Ye Yuning’s matter, his anger was undeniably real.

"Sir, I... last night..."

Recalling the previous night, Lai Shuo was struck by the full severity of his mistake. Ye Yuning was a young woman. Whether he knew her or not, he should never have been so indifferent when she was clearly in trouble.

Xiao Linye still ignored him.

Lai Shuo’s anxiety intensified! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Sir, I really know I was wrong. I’ll... I’ll go and apologize to Miss Ye, alright? Please don’t make me leave Xiao’s."

After all, he had been by Xiao Linye’s side for so many years; reluctance to leave was one thing.

Moreover, Xiao Linye had just ordered him ’fired’.

As the assistant to the CEO of Xiao’s, if he were truly fired at this time, finding another position elsewhere would be...

Xiao Linye gave him a cold glance but said nothing.

That look, in Lai Shuo’s eyes at that moment, was so piercingly cold that his whole body stiffened.
