Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 541

When the two of them got up and finished freshening up, the aunt was already setting breakfast on the table.

The entire house was filled with the strong scent of herbal medicine!

And that bowl of black, murky medicine was now sitting at her place.

What had been a relatively harmonious morning turned distressing the moment Ye Yuning saw that bowl of medicine. She felt like fainting.

"Madam, you’re up," the aunt said kindly. "The medicine has cooled down quite a bit. Please drink your medicine first!"

Ye Yuning’s eyelid twitched!

The aunt is certainly diligent and responsible, but I really can’t drink this medicine!

She recalled the incident in the car: the medicine for regulating her hormones had almost caused a miscarriage. No matter what, Ye Yuning could not drink this medicine now.

Seeing that Ye Yuning didn’t move, Xiao Linye gently rubbed the top of her soft hair. "Go ahead and drink it."

Ye Yuning was speechless.

Both pairs of eyes were fixed on her.

Ye Yuning’s mind raced, trying to find an excuse not to drink the medicine.

However, it seemed no excuse was suitable!

Xiao Linye asked, "What’s the matter?"

Ye Yuning shook her head. "Ah, nothing!"

Though she said nothing was wrong, she was, in reality, in torment.

Why did her days have to be so difficult?

Under the aunt’s and Xiao Linye’s watchful eyes, Ye Yuning finally walked towards the dining room.

She glanced back at Xiao Linye, who had turned to get something, and Ye Yuning let out a sigh of relief.

The aunt smiled at her. "Is Madam afraid of the bitterness?"

Ye Yuning nodded. "Yes. Could you make me a cup of honey water? Thank you."

"Okay."

The aunt nodded and headed to the kitchen.

Seeing that neither of them was in sight, Ye Yuning seized the rare opportunity. She picked up the bowl of medicine and headed for the restroom.

She poured all the medicine straight into the toilet.

However, she didn’t realize that her actions had been clearly witnessed by Xiao Linye, who had just come out of the study.

When she turned to come out, she met Xiao Linye’s profound gaze, and her heart couldn’t help but tremble with fear!

"You’ve got your things? Hurry up and eat breakfast. We have to go to work after this."

Ye Yuning tried to remain calm, steadying her emotions as best she could.

Xiao Linye asked, "Did you pour out the medicine?"

He was direct, his tone devoid of the flirtatious teasing from that morning in bed. The sudden seriousness made Ye Yuning’s heart clench in fear!

She quickly shook her head. "No, of course not! I would never do such a thing."

Xiao Linye pressed, "Then what were you doing, taking the medicine to the restroom?"

"Dr-drinking it!" Even Ye Yuning herself felt her excuse was weak as soon as the words left her mouth.

Taking medicine to the restroom to drink it? How is that different from eating in the toilet? Who in their right mind would do such a thing?

Meeting Xiao Linye’s deep and stern gaze, Ye Yuning quickly stepped forward and clutched his arm.

She forcefully tried to divert his train of thought. "Let’s eat quickly. I’m starving, and there’s so much to do at the studio today."

Xiao Linye frowned, looking down at her, the sternness in his eyes not softening in the slightest.

His gaze made Ye Yuning’s scalp tingle, and she braced herself, becoming even more insistent, "Come on, let’s go!"

They sat down at the dining table.

The aunt had already prepared the honey water and brought it out. Ye Yuning quickly took a few sips. "Mmm, that medicine was really too bitter."

She put on a convincing act, but even so, Xiao Linye’s deep, searching gaze remained fixed on her, his suspicion not diminishing in the least.

Ye Yuning urged, "Oh, hurry up and eat! We really need to get going soon." She was so flustered, her words tumbled out.

She was truly afraid that Xiao Linye would suddenly insist on her drinking another bowl of medicine!

The mere smell of it makes me feel like vomiting, let alone drinking it; I absolutely can’t.

Fortunately, Xiao Linye didn’t press the issue.

He remained mostly silent through breakfast.

And the more silent he was, the more Ye Yuning’s heart pounded with anxiety.

As they were getting into the car, Ye Yuning looked at Xiao Linye meekly. "Um... I really didn’t pour out the medicine. Please believe me."

Xiao Linye merely gave a noncommittal "Hmm," neither confirming nor denying his belief.

Ye Yuning’s heart clenched even tighter!

Damn it, he suspects me, doesn’t he?

That’s just how it is. When you’re hiding something from someone, you can’t help but feel deeply uneasy.

All the way to the studio, Ye Yuning tried her best to make conversation with Xiao Linye.

Xiao Linye, however, gave only brief, perfunctory replies, clearly cherishing his words like gold; he was obviously angry.

As she got out of the car, Ye Yuning grabbed Xiao Linye’s warm hand, her expression full of grievance as she looked at him.

Xiao Linye pulled his hand away. "Hurry up and get to work!"

Ye Yuning felt even more wronged.

He didn’t even pat my head or kiss my forehead. He really is angry!

Ye Yuning whined, "Husband..."

Her tone elongated, filled with grievance.

Xiao Linye asked, "You don’t want to go?"

"No, it’s not that!" Ye Yuning’s eyes began to redden.

Xiao Linye sighed, reaching out to gently ruffle her soft hair. "Tell me the truth."

Ye Yuning stammered, "Tell... tell you what?"

Xiao Linye asked, "The medicine. Did you drink it, or did you pour it out?"

Although it was a question, his tone made it clear he already knew the answer.

Ye Yuning instinctively wanted to shake her head.

But meeting Xiao Linye’s sharp and stern gaze, she felt so intensely guilty that she didn’t dare deny it any longer.

Finally, she nodded. "I... I poured it out."

The moment she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the car grew even more somber and oppressive.

Ye Yuning was dressed warmly, and the car’s heater was on, but she still felt a shiver run down her spine.

"I... I’m sorry. I was wrong!"

When else to admit her mistake if not now?

Xiao Linye scoffed, "Wrong? What did you do wrong?"

"I shouldn’t have lied to you!"

"No. You don’t care about your own body. Ye Yuning, if you won’t cherish yourself, don’t expect anyone else to. Get out of the car!"

Xiao Linye’s tone was icy, showing he was truly furious.
