Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 776

Yang Lihui stood up, feeling somewhat uneasy. "Why has Aye come? Is he here for Miss Ye?" she asked. "But shouldn’t you two keep some distance now? If Mulan finds out, I’m worried she won’t be able to handle it and will make a scene again."

She was asking a question to which she already knew the answer. At the same time, her words served as a reminder to Xiao Linye that he and Ye Yuning were history, and now, Qi Mulan was the most important person in his world.

Xiao Linye’s eyes darkened, a profound iciness, like shards of ice, within them.

Yang Lihui felt a chill creep down her spine under his gaze. After all, Xiao Linye was of a younger generation. Even though she was Mulan’s stepmother, an elder, he was now staring at her in such a manner. Yang Lihui felt deeply uncomfortable, but because it was Xiao Linye, she didn’t dare retort too much.

Xiao Linye lit a cigarette and took a drag. "There are some things Mulan doesn’t know. Surely your Qi Family isn’t also in the dark?"

"Ah? This..."

"There’s no possibility between Mulan and me. I thought your family was perfectly clear on that point." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Xiao Linye’s tone was frigid and carried a heavy sense of danger.

Yang Lihui clearly hadn’t expected Xiao Linye to be so direct. Her expression froze. She stared at Xiao Linye woodenly, her breathing growing heavier in the tense silence.

"Aye, Mulan sees you as her everything now. If you say there’s no possibility between you, what do you expect her to do?"

The moment she finished speaking, Xiao Linye’s gaze on Yang Lihui turned even colder.

He didn’t respond to her words, instead asking coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Yang Lihui: "..."

His tone was too dangerous, so much so that Yang Lihui’s entire body stiffened when faced with his sharp question.

Xiao Linye continued, "Who told you to come here? Mr. Qi? If that’s the case, then I think..."

"No, I came on my own!" Before Xiao Linye could finish, Yang Lihui hastily cut in.

Xiao Linye’s tone was now so menacing that it made her tense up, her heart quivering.

Xiao Linye pressed the half-smoked cigarette into the ashtray, then continued in that icy voice, "Leave this place, hm?"

Yang Lihui: "..."

Her breathing grew heavy again.

"Don’t harass her in the future," Xiao Linye stated, "otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude."

He bit out the words "being rude" with particular emphasis. Yang Lihui could hardly believe her ears.

What is happening? Xiao Linye had clearly been so close to Qi Mulan recently, yet now, he was issuing such a dangerous warning to her over Ye Yuning? Then what did all his recent interactions with Qi Mulan amount to?

"Aye, don’t misunderstand, I just..."

"I have no interest in why you’re here. But if you dare to come here again, I won’t care who you are."

Every word, every phrase, was a threat. Yang Lihui felt her breath catch, her chest tightening. She moved her lips, as if to say something more, but facing Xiao Linye in this state, she ultimately found there was nothing she could say.

Finally, she nodded. "Then I’ll leave first," she said, standing up.

If I don’t leave now, staying here would probably just be asking for trouble, right?

In the end, Yang Lihui still didn’t dare to defy him. So, she left.

As Yang Lihui exited the reception room, she saw Ye Yuning standing not far from the meeting room door.

The moment their eyes met, a hint of a smile touched Ye Yuning’s lips, but to Yang Lihui, it felt like a blow to the head.

So Ye Yuning has been here all along? Did she deliberately avoid seeing me?

Yang Lihui’s breathing grew heavy. She clutched the recording pen she had prepared in her pocket, seething with resentment. This woman is so calculating, making me come all this way for nothing!

Yang Lihui felt indignant, but right now, there was nothing she could do about Ye Yuning.

Ultimately, she left in a huff.

When Xiao Linye came out of the reception room, he saw Ye Yuning standing at the entrance of the meeting room.

Their eyes met for an instant. Ye Yuning immediately averted her gaze and went straight back to her office.

She hadn’t expected the visitor to be Xiao Linye.

She picked up the phone and dialed Qin Jinchuan. He answered quickly. "Has Xiao Linye left?"

Before she could utter a word, Qin Jinchuan asked in a cold voice.

Ye Yuning’s breathing hitched. "Qin Jinchuan, what do you mean?"

"When you called me, I was in Xiao Linye’s office."

"What were you doing in his office?"

"He summoned me. I suppose he wanted to fall out with me over you?" Qin Jinchuan said, sounding uncertain.

Ye Yuning found her breathing becoming a little ragged.

She was currently beset by a mountain of worries and truly couldn’t fathom what these two were trying to achieve.
