Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 49

After that visit, Lai Shuo was infuriated!

He continued, "Right now, Boss Ye is fuming. What do you think about our side’s project with Nanjia Peak?"

Lai Shuo didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was quite clear.

Despite his anger, the most pressing issue was to resolve the collaboration problem with Nanjia Peak.

It was unlikely that Manlang would renew their contract on short notice!

If even Gao Ma Studio, second only to Manlang, couldn’t do the job, who else could they turn to?

Xiao Linye’s brows furrowed with a hint of menace, his voice cold, "Tell Xiao Li to come see me this afternoon."

"You want to see Second Master? The one causing the trouble is the Third Young Master’s fiancée."

Xiao Linye’s breath grew heavier. "Bring Xiao Shuo with him."

"Yes!" Lai Shuo nodded. He glanced at the time; it was already noon! He was just about to ask what Xiao Linye wanted for lunch when the man walked straight towards the office door.

Was he planning to leave the company?

Married men really are different; they even leave work at noon to accompany their wives!

Never mind, calling Xiao Li came first.

What a mess this has all been, so annoying!

「...」

It was after receiving a message from Xiao Linye that Ye Yuning went downstairs.

Seeing her grab her bag, Chen Wei asked instinctively, "Is Miss Tang coming over?"

"No, not at all!" Ye Yuning replied.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wei couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of her mouth. If not, then why was she taking her bag out? Going out to eat alone was worse than just joining everyone in the office for a quick bite.

Ye Yuning didn’t notice Chen Wei’s unusual expression and went straight into the elevator.

In the restaurant.

Xiao Linye had already ordered the meal.

Ye Yuning sat down opposite him and heard him ask, "Does your tooth still hurt?"

"It doesn’t hurt anymore," Ye Yuning shook her head.

The medicine he bought for her and that ’element’ thing really did the trick. After taking it twice, she completely stopped feeling the pain.

Xiao Linye hummed, then said, "I ordered you a black pepper steak and also some pasta."

"Okay." Ye Yuning nodded.

When it came to lunch, she had always been casual about it.

More precisely, before she met Xiao Linye, it seemed all her meals were casual.

Xiao Linye looked at her. Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow. "What are you looking at?"

"Wondering if you’ll be working late tonight."

"No!" Ye Yuning shook her head without thinking.

Xiao Linye chuckled lightly. "So sure?"

"Of course. With that annoying collaborator gone, there won’t be any overtime."

Annoying collaborator? Who was she talking about?

Xiao Linye thought of Manlang from a few days ago. Since their design was approved, it seemed she hadn’t worked overtime at all.

So, this annoying collaborator clearly referred to Xiao Corporation.

Ye Yuning asked, "Why? Are you making something delicious tonight?"

Speaking of food, her eyes couldn’t help but twinkle with anticipation.

Looking at her like that, Xiao Linye had to admit, upon closer inspection, this young woman was actually quite cute! She had a baby face with a hint of baby fat. Her eyes sparkled with a healing liveliness that offered comfort.

Meeting her gaze even made it hard to refuse her anything.

His eyes unconsciously drifted down. She was wearing a white shirt today, completely covering her collarbone.

He didn’t see what he was looking for, but he did see a bloodstain on her shirt. It was very faint and light, but Xiao Linye still saw it clearly.

His gaze involuntarily darkened. "Are you hurt?"

The moment his words fell, he was already by her side, his fingertips lightly touching the blood-stained area on her shirt.

The sudden pain made Ye Yuning instinctively tense up!

"OOF! It hurts." It was then that Ye Yuning remembered: Ye Tong had scratched her in the morning. Since it only hurt for a while, she hadn’t paid it much attention.

She hadn’t expected her clothes to have gotten stained with blood.

Hearing her cry of pain, Xiao Linye’s gaze grew even heavier. "How did you get hurt?"

"It’s not a serious injury, don’t worry about it."

"You got hurt during work hours? Your studio..."

"Oh, it’s really nothing! Let’s hurry up and eat. I’m hungry." Before Xiao Linye could finish speaking, Ye Yuning interrupted him directly.

The restaurant was bustling with people coming and going.

Regardless of what Ye Yuning said, Xiao Linye insisted on taking her to a private room to check on her injury.

Ultimately, she had no choice but to follow him into an empty private room.

"I, I’ll check it myself!"

Feeling the oppressive aura from the man, Ye Yuning felt her own temperature steadily rise.

Xiao Linye said, "It’s just near your neck, isn’t it?"

"It’s the collarbone!" Ye Yuning corrected. Although the location wasn’t anything special, with just the two of them here, she... this...!

After her repeated insistence, Xiao Linye finally turned his back, and Ye Yuning quickly began unbuttoning her shirt.

Her movements were too rushed, tugging at the wound, and she gasped sharply in pain!

"UGH!" A muffled groan escaped her.

Xiao Linye, who had turned his back, heard her pained sound and spun around almost instantly, rushing to her side.

Feeling the looming shadow over her, Ye Yuning instinctively reached to grab her shirt.

But the next moment, Xiao Linye grasped her slender wrist. "You won’t even let me see this?"

This young lady is quite conservative!

Ye Yuning trembled slightly as Xiao Linye lifted the edge of her shirt to take a look.

A startling wound met his eyes, and along with it, that black mole!

Xiao Linye’s pupils contracted sharply!

"Is the wound very deep?" Ye Yuning’s stammering voice broke into Xiao Linye’s thoughts.

Xiao Linye’s gaze deepened. He released her wrist. "It’s not too deep. Just apply some medicine, and it will be fine."

Hearing it wasn’t too deep, Ye Yuning breathed a sigh of relief.

But the faint, lingering pain still infuriated her. That Ye Tong! She wasn’t finished with her yet!

After getting dressed, Ye Yuning followed Xiao Linye out of the private room, feeling aggrieved.

Once they returned to their seats, Xiao Linye said, "I’ll go buy you some medicine later."

"No need, there’s some in the office," Ye Yuning shook her head.

Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow at her response. "Do you get hurt often?"

"No, no! But the office first-aid kit is supposed to have these basic medicines, right?"

Xiao Linye nodded.

He placed the corn chowder in front of her and asked with a not-so-pleasant tone, "How did you get hurt?"

That location... it couldn’t have been from a fall.

Could Ye Yuning admit she had fought with Ye Tong? Absolutely not!

She fumbled for words. "I bumped into the elevator doors while moving boxes this morning and got scratched."

What a lame explanation.

Seeing her reluctance to speak the truth, Xiao Linye recalled Lai Shuo mentioning that Xiao Shuo’s fiancée had caused another scene at the office today.

Could she have been accidentally injured while helping her boss break up a fight?

At this thought, Xiao Linye’s expression turned completely grim, and it didn’t ease up until the meal was over.
