Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 524

For them, everything was now completely chaotic.

They knew Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye were together for some unknown reason, and now there was a child!

It wasn’t just Ye Yuning’s thoughts that were in disarray. Even Tang Xi and Xia Andai’s minds were utterly confused.

Upon hearing Xia Andai suggest taking the initiative, Tang Xi looked at her, baffled. "How so?"

Xia Andai looked at her, an unprecedented determination in her eyes. She said, word by word, "Let her announce that she’s married to Seventh Master Xiao."

Tang Xi exclaimed, "What? What? Announce her relationship with Seventh Master Xiao?"

"You’re not joking, right? I’m telling you, we really don’t have time for jokes now."

"Announcing her relationship with Seventh Master Xiao? No, what kind of plan is this!?"

Is she implying Ye Yuning isn’t dying fast enough? Is she suggesting something harsh? The kind that would finish her off?

Xia Andai asked, "Do you think I’m joking with you?"

Tang Xi asked, "Then what do you mean?"

"If the Xiao Family found out about Ye Yuning and her relationship with Xiao Linye, it would never be made public."

Tang Xi was speechless. Impossible to make it public!

Hearing Xia Andai’s words, Tang Xi’s gaze gradually cleared as she looked at her. She seemed to understand what Xia Andai meant.

Ye Yuning had been engaged to Xiao Shuo for several years; this engagement was known throughout Upper City. On this point alone, the Xiao Family would absolutely not tolerate her marrying Xiao Linye.

So, Xia Andai meant that if the Xiao Family found out Ye Yuning’s true identity first, they would surely handle the matter secretly.

’Handled secretly’...? Xia Andai and Tang Xi knew exactly what that implied.

Therefore, making Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye’s relationship public knowledge now was actually the best way to protect Ye Yuning.

Tang Xi’s thoughts were in turmoil... It seemed that no matter the solution, it would still be an insane shock for Ye Yuning right now.

Seeing Tang Xi remain silent, Xia Andai said, "Either she runs, or... she unilaterally announces the relationship!"

"Both paths are fraught with trouble, aren’t they? Since her husband is Seventh Master Xiao, where could she possibly run?"

"Xiao Linye probably wouldn’t harm her; it’s the Xiao Family we need to be wary of!"

What they had discussed with Yan Jun earlier was to first make Xiao Linye suspicious of Ye Yuning’s identity. That way, if Ye Yuning ran away and was found later, her explanations wouldn’t put her in such a passive position.

But if the Xiao Family found out...

Xiao Linye wouldn’t harm her, but the Xiao Family was an entirely different matter.

Tang Xi understood Xia Andai’s meaning. "So, you’re saying, now we should...?"

Xia Andai replied, "Let her choose for herself."

Tang Xi fell silent. Choose for herself! What choice would Ye Yuning make? Would she directly announce her relationship with Seventh Master Xiao, making the Xiao Family an absolute laughingstock, just to protect herself? Would she really do that?

Tang Xi’s head was starting to throb!

"This girl... how could she?" Tang Xi was completely speechless. She didn’t know what to say about Ye Yuning; it was just so incredibly frustrating.

Xia Andai remarked, "She’s never been particularly bright."

Tang Xi had no reply. Not too bright! Actually, Ye Yuning’s mind had always been quite sharp; it was just that this time, who knew what had gotten into her.

But saying anything now was useless.

The two of them conferred for a while longer. They analyzed the pros and cons of both paths.

Even if Ye Yuning ran away and Xiao Linye found her, she would still have to announce her relationship with him. If she remained in the shadows, her status ambiguous, the Xiao Family might secretly make trouble for her. To ensure her complete safety, the only way was to bring everything out into the open.

So, whether she ran or announced it directly, the most advantageous thing for Ye Yuning was ultimately to publicize the news...

"And now she’s pregnant too," Tang Xi said, her heart heavy.

This really isn’t the time for a child. For it to happen at such a critical juncture is truly agonizing.

Xia Andai knew what Tang Xi meant and scoffed, "You and Jiang Bo have two children. I haven’t seen his parents show much regard for you, and they don’t seem to care for the children either."

Tang Xi fell silent. Indeed. Sometimes, the term ’blood ties’ sounds utterly ridiculous.

「At Ye Yuning’s place.」

Although she hadn’t touched the lamb soup and hadn’t eaten much, her stomach still felt bloated and uncomfortable.

When Xiao Linye got into bed, he saw her curled up in a ball. He hugged her from behind and asked softly, "I noticed you didn’t eat much earlier."

"Mm, I probably ate too much at lunch, so I don’t have much of an appetite."

Xiao Linye asked, "Didn’t you have a work meal for lunch? How could you have eaten too much?"

Ye Yuning was speechless.

This man... how observant he was, remembering everything about her so clearly. She regretted lying to him even more now! With a memory like his, wouldn’t he clearly recall every single lie she’d ever told him? And all those times she had cursed him before... Thinking about their previous subtle clashes, Ye Yuning felt her world darken.

She turned and hugged his lean waist.

Xiao Linye gently stroked the back of her head. "Feeling a bit unwell? Should I take you to the hospital now?"

His voice was exceptionally gentle at that moment.

Ye Yuning shook her head. "No, there’s no need."

"I’m not feeling unwell either," she added.

If this had been before, when she didn’t know anything, she would definitely have acted coquettishly. She would have even shared all her pregnancy experiences with him.

But now...!

What on earth had she done to deserve this karma? Ye Yuning had asked herself this more than once over the past few days.
