Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 544
How truly extraordinary! Xiao Linye, the man rumored to be cold and indifferent, actually had such a sensitive side! He had been so good to Ye Yuning; no wonder she had so many concerns at this time. Who would want to harm such a man?
"Do you really plan to keep this child?" Tang Xi asked anxiously. As someone who had been through it, she knew that divorce could end many troubles, but it also brought up even more issues concerning children. In reality, many children from single-parent families faced prejudice! They hadn’t hindered anyone or harmed anyone’s interests, yet some people’s hearts were just appallingly corrupt.
Ye Yuning nodded. "Yes, I want to keep it!"
Tang Xi was speechless.
Ye Yuning sighed, "If it’s really over between him and me this time, then this is probably it for me in this lifetime." The time she had spent with him might have been short, but the sense of security he had given her was something she absolutely didn’t want to seek with anyone else. It was the most precious thing in her heart, something she didn’t want shattered by someone like Jiang Bo! After witnessing what Tang Xi had gone through, she too became apprehensive about encountering such men.
Tang Xi understood. No matter what kind of man Ye Yuning had experienced, it would be incredibly hard for her to move on to a new relationship. Beautiful memories were unforgettable. And as for the scoundrels? She simply wouldn’t have the courage to try again.
"Then cherish these eight days. Andai and I will make the arrangements for you."
"Thank you," Ye Yuning choked out, suddenly feeling the urge to cry.
Tang Xi sighed, "What’s there to thank me for? You really need to take care of your health right now, especially in your condition!" Regardless, only these last eight days remained.
After chatting with Tang Xi for a little while longer, Tang Xi left. She would arrange everything with Xia Andai. Of course, Tang Xi didn’t mention the things Xia Andai had anticipated. Ye Yuning’s mind was already a mess; mentioning those things would likely only confuse her more.
After Tang Xi left and Ye Yuning was alone, an unprecedented sense of suffocation gripped her heart.
BZZT. Her phone vibrated. She picked it up. It was a message from Xiao Linye: "I’ve already called Auntie. She’ll bring you your medicine at noon."
Reading the message, Ye Yuning’s heart throbbed with even more pain. Even now, the thought of a future without Xiao Linye filled her with dread. She wanted to be with him, to be together forever...! However, their current situation didn’t allow it! Their respective identities were an undeniable reality, and certain things, everyone remembered. Ye Yuning once again felt utterly powerless, and the situation was simply awful! Truly, one couldn’t afford to be careless about one’s own life and past; otherwise, upon meeting someone who truly moved your heart, you wouldn’t know how to explain yourself.
She had just put down her phone when Chen Wei knocked and entered the room. Chen Wei had calmed down by now. Having replayed everything in her mind, she couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat for Ye Yuning.
"Boss!"
So much had happened between her boss and Xiao Linye recently. Unaware of the truth, their animosity had been world-shaking, yet who would have guessed they were... husband and wife! This couple was really too much, not even knowing each other’s identities. What was even more absurd, they had nearly come to blows while still in the dark!
Ye Yuning asked, "Has Xixi left?"
Chen Wei nodded. "Yes, Miss Tang has left. She asked me to take good care of you!"
Care? Ye Yuning thought. That wasn’t what she needed right now.
Chen Wei stepped forward, her expression conflicted. "This is just too outrageous!" Growing up, she’d seen her fair share of outrageous things, but in her opinion, nothing topped this! This was truly, utterly preposterous...
Ye Yuning remained silent.
Hearing Chen Wei call it absurd, Ye Yuning had to agree. "It really is absurd!" Plenty of people knew her, and surely many in Upper City knew Xiao Linye, right? More importantly, quite a few people at the Xiao Corporation knew her too. Of course, she always went to the Xiao Corporation heavily disguised. But even so, for no one to have recognized her by now was truly absurd! Xiao Linye still didn’t know her identity—if that wasn’t absurd, what was?
Chen Wei asked, her voice laced with worry, "How could it be Xiao Linye? What are you going to do now, Boss?"
Ye Yuning murmured, more to herself, "Yes... how could it be Xiao Linye!" She had always considered herself quite perceptive and meticulous over the years. Yet, the time she had spent with Xiao Linye—not exactly short—she hadn’t suspected a thing. He said he’d been in Upper City for five years, bought a house in Shanyu Pavilion, and owned that car! And she hadn’t doubted him in the slightest! She owned a unit in Shanyu Pavilion too; it just wasn’t renovated! The bare unit alone had cost her over three million back then. Xiao Linye claimed to be a business manager at the Xiao Corporation. Even with an annual salary of five hundred thousand, he couldn’t possibly have bought a house there outright. Not to mention, the renovations for that house looked like they would cost several hundred thousand! In short, she hadn’t been suspicious before, but the more she thought about it now, the more naive she felt she had been. She had simply believed whatever he said, without a shred of doubt.
"Xiao Linye doesn’t know your identity yet, does he?" Chen Wei asked, her voice tight with tension.
At her words, Ye Yuning visibly shivered. "He doesn’t know!"
Chen Wei stammered, "Then if he finds out, wouldn’t he just... wouldn’t he just...?"
Chen Wei didn’t finish her sentence, but Ye Yuning likely knew what she meant. Indeed. Everyone knew that once Xiao Linye discovered her true identity, he would undoubtedly erupt.
