Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 791

The sound of the wind on the other end of the phone grew louder.

Ye Yuning, lost in her thoughts, finally snapped back to reality. She heard Qi Mulan’s pained voice on the phone: "I want Ye Yuning to apologize to me."

"Okay, I promise you!" Xiao Linye replied instantly from the other end.

Ye Yuning was rendered speechless.

Her lips tightened, her eyes devoid of warmth. What did Xiao Linye say? He wanted her to apologize to Qi Mulan?

Then Qi Mulan’s voice came again, "And she must come forward to clarify that I’m not a mistress."

"Okay, whatever you say!" Xiao Linye agreed again.

Ye Yuning remained icily silent.

Now, whatever Qi Mulan demanded from the other end, Xiao Linye agreed to it.

Ye Yuning’s breathing grew heavy, becoming ominously cold.

Everything as she says?

Why? Just because she threatened to kill herself? Because she knew how to threaten men? How to manipulate them?

Xiao Linye continuously soothed Qi Mulan until they finally arrived at the hospital.

Downstairs, by the hospital’s inpatient department, a crowd had gathered. The fire department had arrived, and an inflatable safety cushion was already in place below.

Ye Yuning looked up and saw a figure on the rooftop terrace—undoubtedly Qi Mulan.

Xiao Linye parked the car and slammed the door as he got out.

He seemed to have forgotten Ye Yuning was still in the car as he rushed straight into the building.

Soon, Qi Mulan, on the rooftop, grew even more agitated. No one dared to go near her.

BUZZ. BUZZ. BUZZ. Ye Yuning’s phone vibrated.

It was Xiao Linye.

By this time, Ye Yuning had already gotten out of the car and was standing on the street.

Clearly, whatever was happening between Xiao Linye and Qi Mulan, she had no intention of getting involved.

She answered the call but said nothing.

From the other end, Xiao Linye asked coldly, "Where are you?"

"In a cab, heading back to the studio."

This whole morning was spent going through the wringer at the Xiao Family home. That was finally over, but her afternoon was still packed.

Xiao Linye’s tone tightened. "You’ve already left?"

"Why should I stay?" Ye Yuning retorted.

To watch him and Qi Mulan flaunt their affection, or to watch Qi Mulan’s performance? To let her see clearly who mattered more in Xiao Linye’s heart? Well, too bad. If Qi Mulan was counting on that, Ye Yuning certainly wasn’t going to play along.

However, she had chosen not to play along. She had no idea what tense moment Xiao Linye and Qi Mulan were experiencing.

Then, she heard Xiao Linye’s cold voice: "Come back immediately. To the top floor of the inpatient department."

Was her heart cold? Right then, perhaps no one in Upper City felt a colder chill in their heart than Ye Yuning.

"Why should I?" she asked, feigning ignorance, her tone now completely devoid of warmth.

Xiao Linye began, "Ning’er, right now, over here..."

"To apologize to Qi Mulan and help clear her name as a mistress?" Ye Yuning cut in.

As soon as she spoke, silence fell on the other end of the line.

Ye Yuning chuckled softly. "She’s not the mistress? You want me to tell everyone that I’m the mistress instead?"

"You..." Xiao Linye started.

Apologize to her? What did I do wrong? What have I ever done to her that requires an apology from me? She had done nothing! Since returning from Turanxi, she had focused entirely on her career. She hadn’t gone looking for trouble with Qi Mulan, so how was this suddenly her fault?

Ye Yuning believed that no matter how good-tempered a person was, they couldn’t possibly compromise on such a thing.

Yet Xiao Linye, who knew her temper perfectly well, was actually calling her about this now.

How utterly ridiculous...

"Am I wrong?" Ye Yuning asked.

This time, it was Xiao Linye who fell silent. Only his heavy breathing came through the phone.

Ye Yuning closed her eyes, not wanting to continue the conversation. "If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up."

"You come here first!" Xiao Linye insisted, his voice firm in a way she’d never heard before.

Ye Yuning’s grip on the phone tightened. "Tell Qi Mulan to go to hell!"

This time, she truly wanted nothing more to do with Xiao Linye and hung up.

The taxi arrived, and she got in immediately.

The scenery outside the window blurred past.

And her heart, much like the rushing car, felt a continuous, sharp drop.

Why?

Just moments ago, Qi Mulan had hysterically questioned Xiao Linye over the phone.

At this moment, Ye Yuning also wanted to ask one question: Why?

Why had things turned out this way? She had been trying so hard to stay away! She had already resolved to ignore it all, so why were they treating her like this?

When Xiao Linye’s attempt to call back was cut short, Ye Yuning didn’t give him another chance and immediately dialed Tang Xi’s number.

Tang Xi answered quickly. "Ning Bao."

"Xi Xi," Ye Yuning began, "Qi Mulan wants me to apologize to her. She also wants me to publicly clarify that she’s not a mistress."

"What?!" Tang Xi’s voice erupted from the phone.

Ye Yuning continued, "That’s also what Xiao Linye wants."

"Seriously, has Xiao Linye lost his mind?" Tang Xi was utterly incensed. At that moment, she didn’t care if Xiao Linye could annihilate Ye Yuning with a single thought.
