Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 799

Xiao Linye left.

Madam Chen came to Ye Yuning’s side, seeing Ye Yuning’s somewhat angry expression, and sighed. "Miss, why bother?"

"What do you mean, why bother?" Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow. What did she mean by ’why bother’?

"The more you make a fuss now," Madam Chen said, "the more you’ll just give other women an opening."

"That’s perfect," Ye Yuning replied. "Then I won’t have to be bothered."

After this ordeal with Xiao Linye, Ye Yuning now understood it was better to be alone. Adding another person to her life wasn’t just about one individual; it felt like dealing with many more people—like the Xiao Family and the Qi Family now!

Seeing Ye Yuning speak this way, Madam Chen, who had initially wanted to persuade her further, found she couldn’t continue.

Ye Yuning turned and went upstairs.

No sooner had she finished freshening up than Tang Xi’s call came.

When Tang Xi asked about Xiao Linye, Ye Yuning blurted out all the anger she had just experienced.

Tang Xi was shocked to hear that Xiao Linye had even questioned her about the child. "Wasn’t the child lost because of him?" Tang Xi exclaimed. "What does he mean, you don’t care?"

"Exactly," Ye Yuning said. "I never realized before that he had this knack for falsely accusing others." But this time, she had witnessed it firsthand.

Tang Xi was speechless. How was the child lost? Didn’t Xiao Linye have any idea himself? How could he shift the blame to Ye Yuning?

"Alright, I won’t keep you," Tang Xi said. "I just parted ways with Andai. Public opinion has already started to shift concerning your situation."

"What do you mean?" Ye Yuning asked.

"They’re saying you drove someone to death!"

"’Isn’t this exactly the outcome Qi Mulan wanted?’ Ye Yuning countered."

Tang Xi scoffed. "Is Xiao Linye blind? Qi Mulan’s tactics are so obvious; doesn’t he know what she’s really trying to do?"

"’Whether he’s blind or not, we can’t afford to be,’ Ye Yuning stated." Whatever happened now, Ye Yuning would only remember one thing: protect herself. Sometimes, if one had to be the villain, then so be it.

"’At least you’re clear-headed,’ Tang Xi said, recalling how much time she had wasted on grief when she and Jiang Bo had their falling out. By the time she came to her senses, the situation had already become very unfavorable for her."

"’What choice do I have but to be clear-headed?’ Ye Yuning retorted. ’Just let people walk all over me?’"

"’You wouldn’t,’ Tang Xi admitted. She truly admired Ye Yuning for this. A lot had happened to Ye Yuning recently, but she always remained lucid, no matter the circumstances. She did what needed to be done. Such clarity and wisdom... truly, very few women could achieve that."

"Andai said the situation will turn around by tomorrow morning and told you to get a good night’s sleep."

"’Yes, I know.’ After all, with a ten percent share of the studio at stake, Xia Andai wouldn’t let herself suffer a loss."

The two of them chatted a bit more before hanging up.

After drying her hair, she lay in bed, flashes of her moments with Xiao Linye crossing her mind. Ye Yuning, who had never felt lost, was now filled with immense regret, feeling she was still too naive. At least when it came to men, she truly didn’t know how to read them. Regret? Yes, truly regretting... But what could regret achieve? Her life still had to go on.

「A night, fitful and restless.」

The following morning, Ye Yuning awoke with a dull, stiff ache in her head.

As she went downstairs, Ji Nan greeted her respectfully, "Boss Ye, breakfast is ready."

Ye Yuning nodded.

As she walked towards the dining room, she saw Xiao Linye—who had supposedly left in anger the night before—was actually there. When had he returned? She had no idea. She had slept so lightly last night; logically, she would have heard if someone had driven back. Little did she know, Xiao Linye hadn’t actually left; he had merely stepped out for a cigarette.

When he saw her, Xiao Linye’s expression was still quite dark.

Ye Yuning, however, seemed unfazed. "Madam Chen, what’s for breakfast?" she asked.

"I made some wontons. Is that alright?" Madam Chen replied with a smile, serving them to her.

"Great, thank you." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Ye Yuning wasn’t generally a big fan of flour-based foods, but she liked the wontons Madam Chen made because the wrappers were thin and the filling generous.

Despite the intense argument the previous night, Ye Yuning sat at the dining table as if nothing had happened, eating and drinking calmly.

Ji Nan, who knew about Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye’s quarrel, couldn’t help but admire her inner strength as he watched her finish a glass of milk. Anyone else probably wouldn’t have been able to eat at all. Yet, not only did she eat, she seemed to be thoroughly enjoying her meal.

Watching her indifferent demeanor, Xiao Linye felt a surge of anger he couldn’t suppress. He looked at her coldly. "Is it good?"

"Yes, it’s delicious," Ye Yuning nodded.

Xiao Linye’s breathing grew heavier. After such a major incident last night, she was still so indifferent. What on earth did she care about?
