Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 533

On the way back to Shanyu Pavilion, she was mostly silent. Her mind was filled with what Xia Andai and Tang Xi had said to her in the office that morning: Go public directly, so the Xiao Family wouldn’t dare to act rashly against me, even if they were deeply dissatisfied! Right now, this seems like the best path... After all, just as Tang Xi and Xia Andai said, it goes without saying what kind of thunderous methods Old Master Xiao employs. Once he secretly finds out I’m Xiao Shuo’s ex-fiancée, pregnant with the child of his most beloved youngest son... The consequences would be unimaginable.

In a place like the Xiao Family, blood relations seem important—after all, Old Master Xiao so dearly loved his late-born son, Uncle Xiao Seven. But at the same time, he’s so ruthless when it comes to bloodline. Years ago, it’s said that when a woman approached Mrs. Xiao claiming to be pregnant with his child, that pregnant woman simply vanished afterward... Everyone in Upper City knew how she disappeared, but no one dared to discuss it. That’s why I’m almost certain this child in my belly won’t be welcomed by the Xiao Family; it might even bring me danger. The more she dwelled on it, the more chaotic her thoughts became, and her face paled.

When she got out of the car, Xiao Linye grabbed her wrist. "What happened today?"

"Ah? I..." Ye Yuning snapped back to reality. The moment she looked at Xiao Linye, tears uncontrollably welled up, blurring her vision.

Why did he have to be Uncle Xiao Seven? How could he be Uncle Xiao Seven? What am I supposed to do now? The more she thought, the more uncontrollably her heart seemed to shatter. I always have everything under control, but right now, my world feels like it’s collapsed.

Xiao Linye was stunned by her state. He pulled her into his arms. "Why are you crying? Did something happen at work?"

It must be that foster daughter from the Ye Family who bullied her! I always said that woman was no good, yet Yuning always defends her, he thought.

Ye Yuning took a deep breath. "No, it’s not!"

"Then what is it? Tell me, hmm?"

What good would telling you do? she thought. Could we get a divorce? Or would you confront Old Master Xiao, threaten him with death to force him to let us be together? That’s completely impossible! Besides, if you really made such a scene with Old Master Xiao, he would hate me to the bone, making things even more dangerous for me. More importantly, if Xiao Linye found out my true identity, he might be the first one to want to kill me.

Thinking of this possibility, Ye Yuning cried even harder, and Xiao Linye couldn’t console her no matter what he tried.

In the basement garage of Shanyu Pavilion, the tall, slender, and handsome man held the petite woman, comforting her, creating a perfect picture.

After a while, Ye Yuning, sniffling, finally managed to calm her emotions somewhat.

"Feeling better now?" Xiao Linye asked, his voice soft and gentle. It was very light and tender.

Ye Yuning nuzzled into his chest, whimpering, "I... I can’t walk!"

Actually, I just want to cling to him a little longer. It feels like we really don’t have much time left... In fact, we truly don’t.

At her words, Xiao Linye immediately scooped her up into a princess carry. "Then we won’t walk, hmm?"

Hearing his gentle indulgence and comfort, Ye Yuning felt fresh tears welling up.

Xiao Linye gently rubbed her forehead. "You’re such a little crybaby."

"I’ve never cried like this before! How did I become a crybaby?" Ye Yuning hmphed, retorting defiantly.

Xiao Linye chuckled softly. "Then tell me, what were you crying about?"

One might think she looks soft and delicate, even fragile. But in the few months they’d been together, the determination and independence she displayed had truly impressed him. She appeared delicate, yet she could handle anything herself, and strenuous tasks were no problem for her at all. The only thing she couldn’t seem to manage well was cooking. She was genuinely terrible at it.

As they entered the elevator, other people were already inside. Ye Yuning instinctively buried her face in Xiao Linye’s chest. He, however, seemed unconcerned and held her impassively as they stepped in.

There was a couple in the elevator. The girl glanced at Xiao Linye’s back, then silently glared at her own boyfriend. The boyfriend, after a look at Ye Yuning in Xiao Linye’s arms, gave his girlfriend an "I-know-what-you’re-thinking" glance.

The couple got off on a lower floor. The instant the elevator doors closed behind them, the girl’s voice echoed from the hallway: "Look at that woman’s husband!"

"Well, look how skinny his wife is! There’s no way I could carry you like that!" the boyfriend retorted.

Ye Yuning: "..."

Xiao Linye: "..."

They could argue over something like that? Xiao Linye mused, looking down at the small woman in his arms. He understood even more deeply why he felt such a sense of stability in this marriage. It’s because her temperament is so good.

When they entered their apartment, the housekeeper had already set dinner on the table. Seeing Ye Yuning being carried in, she exclaimed, "Oh dear, is Madam injured?" With that, she turned to get the first-aid kit.

"She’s not injured," Xiao Linye stated.

Hearing this, the housekeeper instantly understood the situation. Young people these days are just so clingy, she thought with a knowing smile.
