Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 512

When Ye Yuning heard Xiao Linye ask her to go out to eat together, her heart sank.

She stammered, "The office here places a group order for meals, and mine is already in, so I won’t go out to eat."

"You’ve already placed an order?"

Ye Yuning said, "Yes, just have something on your own for lunch."

"Alright then."

After a brief exchange, they hung up.

Ye Yuning ran her fingers through her hair, her expression a mask of irritation.

While busy with work in the morning, she could push it aside, but now that she was alone, she knew this matter had to be resolved.

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ. The phone she had just put down started vibrating again.

Ye Yuning picked it up; it was Yan Jun calling.

She answered, "Junjun."

"Andai and I are on our way to you."

Coming to find me with Xia Andai? Ye Yuning’s heart skipped a beat. "Are you coming to have lunch with me?"

"Good heavens, are you sure you can still eat?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Ye Yuning was silent.

Well... it seemed she really had no appetite.

But what could she do?

Taking a deep breath, she asked, "You all know?"

From Yan Jun’s tense tone, Ye Yuning guessed they probably knew as well.

Yan Jun said, "We’ll be there soon."

"Okay, fine."

Ye Yuning put down her phone, feeling dejected.

「About twenty minutes later!」

The lunch Luo Xin had arranged arrived. Ye Yuning said, "Order two more servings, please."

"Do you have guests?"

"Yes."

"Do you need anything special arranged?" Luo Xin asked.

Since guests were coming, the arrangements definitely couldn’t be too casual.

Ye Yuning shook her head. "No need, they’re friends. Just order the same."

When she was with Yan Jun and the others, they usually all ate the same thing.

Luo Xin nodded. "Alright!"

「Another ten minutes later.」

Yan Jun and Xia Andai arrived.

Xia Andai shot her a stern look the moment she walked in.

Ye Yuning felt a little unnerved by her glare. Honestly, after all these years, couldn’t this woman soften her expression even a little? It was just too much...!

Ye Yuning said, "I’ve ordered food. Let’s have a working lunch together."

"You can actually eat at a time like this?" Yan Jun looked at Ye Yuning incredulously.

This girl! Does she even realize what kind of mess she’s in? She can still eat at a time like this.

Ye Yuning asked, "What else? Just because I’ve caused a huge mess doesn’t mean I should starve myself to death, right?"

"Or do you think that causing trouble means it’s wrong to even eat?"

Yan Jun pressed her lips together, momentarily speechless.

That was Ye Yuning for you. If it were me, after an incident this big, I wouldn’t be able to swallow even water, let alone food. She really is a woman cut out for big things. Her mental fortitude is just different. Especially how she dealt with Qin Jinchuan!

Yan Jun looked at Ye Yuning with concern, worried she might snap and retaliate against Xiao Linye in some outrageous manner.

If that happened, the consequences would be far more severe than just ’causing a huge mess.’

Xia Andai looked at her, frowning, and asked in a less-than-friendly tone, "You didn’t notice anything at all before this?"

"Notice what?"

Xia Andai’s expression darkened further.

Ye Yuning then realized and shook her head. "I honestly didn’t know anything. If Cici hadn’t looked into it, I still wouldn’t have a clue."

"You’re unbelievably nonchalant!" Xia Andai said in a displeased tone.

The prominent Xiao Linye of the Xiao Group. His stellar reputation alone indicated an aura far beyond that of any ordinary employee. And yet, Ye Yuning had been completely oblivious! Her brain...! Honestly!

Yan Jun also looked at her, echoing Xia Andai’s sentiment, "Seriously nonchalant!"

Ye Yuning said, "I guess I really am too nonchalant."

If this isn’t being oblivious, what is? If she had paid even the slightest bit more attention, she definitely would have grown suspicious of Xiao Linye. However...! If it hadn’t been for that call to the Commerce Department, she probably still wouldn’t have found out anything.

Xia Andai stated flatly, "Divorce him!"

"Huh?" Ye Yuning uttered.

Yan Jun stammered, "...!? No, this... it’s not that extreme, is it?"

"It’s far more serious than you imagine," Xia Andai said gravely.

Ye Yuning was speechless.

Yan Jun was speechless too.

They exchanged a look, then turned to Xia Andai with bewildered expressions, hoping she might offer a less extreme solution.

Xia Andai said, "Once he discovers your true identity, both you and the Ye Family will meet a gruesome end."

"No, whether the Ye Family suffers miserably or not has nothing to do with Ningning," Yan Jun retorted.

They’d never had a good opinion of the Ye Family and, in fact, hoped Ye Yuning could make a clean break from them. If Xiao Linye’s fury could get the Ye Family thrown out of Upper City, that would actually be a good thing.

However, Yan Jun then said, "But her own life and death, that concerns her, doesn’t it?"

Yan Jun fell silent.

Ye Yuning, who had still been wondering if there was a proper solution to this mess, now felt completely numb after hearing Xia Andai’s words.

"I... I don’t want a divorce!" she blurted out instinctively.

She had once disliked ’Xiao Linye’ so intensely, even cursing him both openly and secretly countless times.

But it had to be admitted, she had truly fallen for him now.

She, who had once scorned romance, believing men were merely obstacles on her path to wealth.

But now...
