Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 569

Ye Yuning always felt that Gui Xingli was overly nice to her!

But Gui Xingli offered no explanation, and Ye Yuning didn’t feel comfortable asking too many questions.

Fortunately, it was a beneficial kind of niceness!

"Shang Yu is a great business partner, and you’re familiar with his Yundong Group. Make good use of this opportunity," Gui Xingli had said.

"Mm," Ye Yuning nodded.

She wasn’t sure what kind of person Shang Yu was.

But the Yundong Group was the leading company in Turanxi.

Collaborating with such an enterprise meant she wouldn’t have to worry for a long time to come.

More importantly, her success was now reaching international levels...

Shang Yu was on the phone. Although there was some distance between them, both Ye Yuning and Gui Xingli could clearly sense his displeasure.

They didn’t know what was said on the other end, but they heard him coldly state, "This isn’t something you can interfere with."

His tone was firm and chilling.

With that, he hung up.

When he turned to walk toward them, his aura completely retracted.

This alone showed what a profound person he was.

"Sorry," Shang Yu said to Ye Yuning with a slight smile.

Ye Yuning’s brow twitched at the word ’sorry.’ ’Sorry’?

Could there be a problem with tomorrow’s collaboration?

But the next moment, Shang Yu continued, "Something has come up on my end, so I won’t be able to see you off. My assistant will come for you at ten tomorrow morning."

"Oh, okay, sure!" Ye Yuning replied, relieved to hear the assistant would still be coming.

Gui Xingli said, "Alright then, you should get going."

"Mm."

Shang Yu nodded and turned to leave.

Once Shang Yu had left and only Ye Yuning and Gui Xingli remained, Ye Yuning patted her chest.

Gui Xingli laughed. "What was that for? Did you think he wasn’t going to cooperate?"

"Exactly! I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard him say ’sorry’!"

"Why? Worried Xiao Linye might try to sabotage things?"

Ye Yuning fell silent.

It was one thing not to mention Xiao Linye, but the mere thought of him made her heart sink.

Yes, Xiao Linye!

Although they were now divorced, given how this situation between her and him could affect the Xiao Family... Xiao Linye’s intentions were a mystery, but Ye Yuning knew very well that the Xiao Family wouldn’t let her off the hook easily.

"Don’t worry. No one can threaten someone like Shang Yu," Gui Xingli reassured her.

"Is that so?" Ye Yuning’s heart skipped a beat.

Gui Xingli continued, "I know what you need right now. The Xiao Family definitely can’t affect you."

Ye Yuning was speechless.

She knew the Xiao Family might not let her go? So, Gui Xingli knew far more than she imagined? But was Gui Xingli really helping her? And if so, why would she want to help her?!

"Let’s head back," Gui Xingli said calmly before Ye Yuning could voice her thoughts.

Ye Yuning nodded. "You go ahead. I’ll grab a cab."

Gui Xingli had picked her up from the studio earlier. Since Ye Yuning hadn’t driven her own car, she’d need to go back to the studio to get it.

Gui Xingli raised an eyebrow. "Go where?"

Ye Yuning blinked. "Huh?"

Wait, what did she mean by that?

Gui Xingli said, "I didn’t book a hotel for tonight. Perhaps I could stay at your place?"

Ye Yuning was stunned. Stay at her place? Was she serious?!

Seeing Ye Yuning’s silence, Gui Xingli raised an eyebrow. "Can’t I?"

"No, no, it’s not that. I’m just worried you might not find it comfortable."

"I’m not picky."

Gui Xingli also wanted to see what Ye Yuning’s life had been like all these years, the kind of place she lived in.

Her saying "I’m not picky" completely cut off any further objections Ye Yuning might have had. She couldn’t find a reason to refuse.

After a conflicted glance at Gui Xingli, she finally nodded. "Well, alright then!"

Once again, Ye Yuning felt that Gui Xingli was being excessively kind. More importantly, Gui Xingli seemed very eager to become a part of her world. Why? For a moment, Ye Yuning couldn’t quite understand Gui Xingli’s intentions.

In the end, Ye Yuning rode back to Xiangti with Gui Xingli in her car.

When Gui Xingli saw the house Ye Yuning lived in, a hint of gratified relief showed in her eyes.

"Is this your house?" Gui Xingli asked.

Ye Yuning nodded. "Yes, it is."

"When did you buy it?"

Ye Yuning replied, "I bought it several years ago."

"And where did you live before buying this house?" Gui Xingli pressed.

Gui Xingli had investigated. Ye Yuning rarely returned to the Ye Family villa. And why would she? How could she possibly go back to a place like that? Those people who called themselves her family had always prioritized their own interests above all else when it came to her.

Ye Yuning didn’t answer, merely raising an eyebrow at Gui Xingli.

"What is it?" Gui Xingli asked.

Ye Yuning replied, "You sound like you’re running a background check on me."

Gui Xingli paused. Was it that obvious? she wondered.

It had to be said, Ye Yuning genuinely felt that Gui Xingli’s concern was excessive. At least, it wasn’t the kind of concern one would expect from a typical business associate.

Gui Xingli chuckled. "Feeling awkward because I’m concerned about you?"

"It’s just... you know!" Ye Yuning fumbled for words. She wanted to be direct, but it felt awkward to say it outright.

Gui Xingli smiled. "Is it what?"

Ye Yuning was at a loss for words. Could she really be blunt with such an important client? Although Gui Xingli was very kind to her, she was also worried about offending her by being too direct.

Seeing her struggle for words, Gui Xingli’s smile deepened. "Since you call me ’Sister,’ there’s no problem with me caring about you, is there?"

"No, no problem at all!" Ye Yuning stammered.

Though she said it was no problem, in her heart, she felt this ’problem’ was anything but minor.
