Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 556
「Ten minutes later.」
Tang Xi was furious after hearing Ye Yuning recount Xiao Linye’s recent visit!
"Is there something wrong with this Master Xiao?" Tang Xi exclaimed. "He actually suspects the child isn’t his? He doesn’t trust your character?"
I actually thought Master Xiao was good to Ye Yuning, that he had decent character when it came to relationships! But what on earth is this? This is completely...!
Ye Yuning said, "Barring any surprises, he should find out my identity soon too."
"What?" Tang Xi exclaimed. He’s going to find out her identity *again*? Wasn’t it supposed to be eight days? But now everything’s about to become a complete mess so quickly? If that’s the case, Ye Yuning’s life is going to be really tough! She originally wanted to live a good life with Xiao Linye, but what kind of mess is this now? To think such an accident would happen now!
Ye Yuning explained, "I went out with him last night, and Xiao Shuo saw us. He even took photos!"
Tang Xi listened, taken aback.
"Knowing Xiao Shuo’s personality," Ye Yuning continued, "after I’ve gotten back at him so many times, he definitely won’t pass up this chance to make things difficult for me."
Tang Xi remained silent for a moment, then thought, Wow, this has really blown up!
Speaking of the arranged marriage between Xiao Shuo and Ye Yuning, they had always been indifferent to each other during their engagement. But then, because of Ye Tong, it was like a volcano erupted between them, igniting an instant, fierce conflict.
"I told you before not to go out alone with him! It’s dangerous!" Tang Xi exclaimed, frustrated.
"There’s no point saying that now," Ye Yuning said resignedly. "After all, even if Xiao Shuo hadn’t gone to the Xiao Family, the issue of this pregnancy with Xiao Linye means our relationship, which was perfectly fine, now has cracks in it."
Tang Xi sighed. "You’re right. At this point, what does it even matter if he finds out your identity or not?"
Ye Yuning had always been nervous, terrified that Xiao Linye would discover her identity. But now, her identity hadn’t even been revealed, yet a child had directly damaged their relationship. At this moment, Tang Xi thought of Jiang Bo. Men, sometimes, they’re all so depressingly similar...! When things are good, they’d do anything to cherish you, hold you in the palm of their hand. But the moment things go bad, all the beautiful memories between them vanish like smoke. They might even become hysterical!
"Alright," Tang Xi said decisively. "I’ll get a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement for you immediately. Do you have any demands?"
"None. I’m fine with leaving with nothing," Ye Yuning replied.
"Hey! But this is the Xiao Family! He’s Master Xiao! The marital assets accumulated during your marriage must surely..."
"Xi Xi, I don’t want any of it!" Ye Yuning cut her off sharply.
Tang Xi swallowed the rest of her words. "Okay, I understand."
Truth be told, if they really divorced, her share of the marital assets with Master Xiao would undoubtedly secure her a worry-free future. But Ye Yuning could be incredibly stubborn sometimes. It was as if anything not earned through her own efforts held no appeal for her. What was hers, she wouldn’t yield a single cent of; what wasn’t hers, she wouldn’t take a single cent of either.
"So, what are your plans for the child?" Tang Xi asked.
Previously, the worry was that if the Xiao Family and Xiao Linye found out her identity, they wouldn’t welcome the child. Now, her identity hadn’t been exposed, but the child itself had become unwelcome. Tang Xi just couldn’t understand it. Why would Xiao Linye doubt Ye Yuning? In the months they’d been together, wasn’t he aware of whether Ye Yuning had been with other men? If it were her and Jiang Bo, being doubted by him might be somewhat understandable, considering how much time they spent apart. They were constantly living in different cities; she’d be away filming, while Jiang Bo always stayed in Upper City. But Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye, after getting married, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they were together almost every night. And still, she was doubted? If this was the case, wasn’t it being far too harsh on women? Tang Xi seethed with anger.
"Is there something wrong with Master Xiao’s brain?" Tang Xi burst out. To doubt even this... it’s unbelievable!
"Don’t talk about him like that!" Ye Yuning interjected.
"Are you defending him?" Tang Xi shot back.
"He’s been taking a medication," Ye Yuning explained quietly. "It has a contraceptive effect while it’s active."
"So you’re saying he’d rather believe in the effects of some drug in his system than trust your character?" Tang Xi’s voice rose. She was already angry, but hearing Ye Yuning say this made her even more furious. If that’s the case, this Master Xiao is truly despicable! Can he just doubt anything and everything like that?
Ye Yuning fell silent, unwilling to discuss it further for the moment.
"I’ll get a lawyer to help you draft the agreement right away!" Tang Xi declared, incensed. "Divorce him! You have to divorce him!"
Come to think of it, Xiao Linye probably only found out about Ye Yuning’s pregnancy today, right? And his immediate reaction was suspicion? Shouldn’t he get himself checked out first? See if he’s even capable of getting a woman pregnant? This kind of suspicion is a complete insult to women!
