Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 554
Completely unaware that her world was about to be turned upside down, she slept heavily.
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ. The phone kept vibrating.
This made her, still groggy with sleep, somewhat irritable. She haphazardly grabbed the phone and answered, "Hello."
On the other end of the line, Xiao Linye could tell she was asleep.
A dangerous aura seemed to pierce straight through the signal.
Ye Yuning was groggy and didn’t catch the danger in his tone, not even realizing it was already past time to go to work.
Xiao Linye asked, "Sleeping?"
"Mhm, taking a nap."
"Your boss is really generous. It’s already 2:40 PM."
Ye Yuning was speechless. It’s already 2:40 PM? I had no idea!
Xiao Linye pressed, "At the studio?"
The danger in his voice was practically overflowing.
Even through her confusion, Ye Yuning now sensed something was amiss.
Struggling to open her eyes, she propped herself up in bed. "Of course, I’m at the studio. Where else would I be?"
"Come to the underground parking garage!"
"What are you doing here at this hour?" Ye Yuning was fully awake now and could distinctly hear the harshness in Xiao Linye’s tone.
Xiao Linye had already hung up.
Listening to the BEEP BEEP BEEP of the disconnected line, Ye Yuning was somewhat bewildered, but she roughly knew why.
She guessed that Xiao Shuo had returned to the Xiao Family and told them something.
Xiao Linye must know by now.
Otherwise, why would he have such an attitude towards me?
She took several deep breaths, trying to suppress the tightness in her chest, before finally throwing off the blanket and getting out of bed.
Chen Wei had thought Ye Yuning would rest for a long time, given how exhausted she looked.
But just as Chen Wei finished tidying up the office, Ye Yuning emerged.
Seeing her, Chen Wei was stunned. "Boss, the meeting is in half an hour. I was hoping you could sleep a bit longer."
"Postpone the meeting. I need to step out for a bit," Ye Yuning said, her face pale.
Seeing her like this, Chen Wei subconsciously wanted to ask if she was alright, but Ye Yuning had already left the room, her face expressionless.
She took the elevator down.
Ye Yuning had never felt that going to meet Xiao Linye would be so difficult.
She had thought they still had eight days left together.
But she never expected fate to be so merciless, completely stripping away even this last bit of time.
Ye Yuning took several deep breaths. When the elevator doors opened, she still lacked the courage to step out.
Finally, when she saw Xiao Linye’s sullen face, only one thought echoed in Ye Yuning’s heart: It’s completely over!
It felt as if her relationship with Xiao Linye was about to come to a definitive end, right here, right now.
Xiao Linye glared at her, his eyes icy and devoid of any warmth.
Ye Yuning stood outside the car, her voice trembling as she asked, "You... you know everything?!"
In the end, I couldn’t keep it a secret!
From the moment she learned Xiao Linye’s true identity, every second had been torment.
Now, the time had finally come to face it. Her heart ached, feeling heavy and constricted.
Her words made the atmosphere in the garage even colder.
The man’s eyes narrowed dangerously, his gaze shifting down to rest on her lower abdomen.
And in that moment, Ye Yuning even contemplated, Should I tell him about the child?
If he knew about the child, would he accept me for the child’s sake?
But before she could speak, she heard Xiao Linye’s icy question: "Whose is it?"
Ye Yuning stared at him. What? Whose is it?
Xiao Linye demanded, "The child. Whose is it?"
Ye Yuning was floored. What?
He’s asking whose child it is? Doesn’t he know my real identity?
And what does he mean, asking whose child it is in such a tone?!
Could it be...?!
Her already tight chest constricted painfully. In that fleeting moment, Ye Yuning’s heart plummeted.
Her already pale face lost all remaining color at Xiao Linye’s chilling question.
"You... what do you mean?" she asked, her voice dull, her mind a complete blank.
He isn’t asking about my identity, but whose child it is?
What is he implying?
He rushed over because of the child? And he suspects the child isn’t his?
Amidst the whirlwind of her thoughts, Ye Yuning’s heart sank further and further.
The fragile composure she maintained, already strained by her pallor, began to crack under Xiao Linye’s cold interrogation.
"You suspect the child isn’t yours?"
Yes, he suspects it! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Ye Yuning’s cold retort was filled with an unprecedented disappointment.
So, it wasn’t about my identity; it was about the child. He actually doubts the child is his.
Doesn’t he know whether the child is his or not?
Meeting Xiao Linye’s icy gaze, Ye Yuning’s heart turned just as cold.
Xiao Linye stated, "For certain reasons, I took a medication that causes temporary infertility. Its effects last for one year, and I took it four months ago."
So, he couldn’t have gotten me pregnant. No matter what we did, it wouldn’t have happened.
Ye Yuning asked, her voice trembling slightly, "So you suspect I’ve been with another man?"
"Yuning."
Xiao Linye’s tone grew heavy, laced with a chilling danger.
Ye Yuning understood. He was convinced the child wasn’t his.
She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the suffocating tightness in her chest, but her throat felt painfully constricted.
Their eyes met. Xiao Linye’s gaze was filled with frost.
And under his icy gaze, Ye Yuning’s heart grew colder and colder...
