Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 573

At my own disposal? What a phrase, ’at my own disposal’!

Before Xiao Linye could speak, he heard Qin Jinchuan’s cold voice, "You wouldn’t be reluctant to let her go, would you?"

"After what she’s done, even if you consider your past connection, would the Xiao Family? And I won’t let her off either," Qin Jinchuan stated directly.

That woman, for what she had done to him before, could still be considered unaware. But for the incident with Xiao Linye, it could no longer be regarded as ignorance. Everyone was convinced that Ye Yuning did it on purpose.

Hearing Qin Jinchuan say he wouldn’t let her off, Xiao Linye’s eyes grew colder. "How do you plan to not let her off?" As soon as he spoke, his tone was filled with an obvious chill.

Qin Jinchuan was perplexed.

Xiao Linye continued, "If you dare touch her, don’t blame me for being harsh with you."

Qin Jinchuan stammered, "No, I mean, you..." Does he really still have feelings for her? Is such a woman even worthy of any affection?

Qin Jinchuan looked at Xiao Linye in confusion. Xiao Linye’s face was an icy mask; he wasn’t joking at all.

"Are you serious?" Qin Jinchuan asked.

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Xiao Linye retorted. When had his words ever not counted?

Xiao Linye looked coldly at him. "Now, do you still have any designs on her?"

Hearing his sharp question, Qin Jinchuan felt his head go numb. At this point, what more could he feel for that woman? Thinking about everything she had done, Qin Jinchuan felt a hatred so intense it made his teeth itch. What was all this? He had been hell-bent on making her divorce! He’d even been wondering who her husband was behind the scenes. Now, knowing everything, Qin Jinchuan considered himself a fool. If not a fool, then what? Ye Yuning had played everyone for fools!

"What could I feel for her? I just want to get back at her, that’s all!" Qin Jinchuan exclaimed.

Right. At this point, how could he possibly admit to having any designs on that woman? Given Xiao Linye’s current attitude towards her, he’d surely be skinned alive if he said such a thing! No, things have escalated to this point, so how can he still be protecting her? Shouldn’t he, more than anyone, want to flay that woman alive right now? She’s just an adopted daughter, yet she’s capable of causing so much turmoil and implicating everyone. Who on earth gave that woman the audacity to do such things? It’s simply outrageous.

Xiao Linye closed his eyes briefly. "It’s good you don’t have any designs on her. As for revenge..." He paused, a deliberate shift in his voice. When he opened his eyes again, the coldness in his gaze as he looked at Qin Jinchuan was piercing. Then, he continued, "Don’t seek revenge on her anymore."

Qin Jinchuan was speechless.

No designs on her allowed, and revenge is forbidden too! After everything that’s happened, he’s still protecting her like this?

"I really don’t understand you," Qin Jinchuan said.

At this point, how could anyone understand Xiao Linye? Wouldn’t any normal person want to tear Ye Yuning to shreds by now? But he, on the contrary, forbids anyone from touching her!

Xiao Linye crushed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and took out another, lighting it.

Qin Jinchuan frowned. "Stop smoking!"

He had never seen Xiao Linye behave like this. At least, in all the years they had known each other, Xiao Linye’s composure had never been this shaken. And this time, Ye Yuning had truly caused a huge mess.

...

「This night!」

It was a hard night for many people. Xiao Linye and Qin Jinchuan talked through the night, Xiao Linye’s protectiveness of Ye Yuning greatly irritating Qin Jinchuan. He wished he could flay and debone her immediately.

As for Ye Yuning, although she had turned off her phone, she didn’t sleep well at all.

「The next morning.」

When she went downstairs, she still felt a bit dazed seeing Gui Xingli.

"Up already?" Gui Xingli said to her with a smile. She was wearing a colorful, fitted long dress that hugged her figure perfectly. It had to be said, Gui Xingli had a truly great figure, especially her height—something Ye Yuning envied but couldn’t achieve.

"I’ll never understand what you tall people eat to grow so tall!" Ye Yuning exclaimed. In school, she had always been the shortest in her class. Back then, she wished she could just grow taller. But alas...! Xia Andai and Tang Xi had fed her so much milk, yet she still hadn’t reached standard height. Standard height! All she wanted was to be of standard height; it was painful just to think about it.

Gui Xingli laughed. "You don’t eat properly, and you blame us for eating too much?"

Ye Yuning retorted, "I ate better and more than anyone else!" Back then, she really ate desperately to grow taller, but it seemed fate wasn’t kind. She’d eaten so much, yet she had no idea where all that development had gone.

"Hurry down and have breakfast," Gui Xingli urged.

"Yeah."

The housekeeper came to prepare breakfast. Ye Yuning tasted the porridge and could tell it didn’t match the housekeeper’s cooking.

"This wasn’t made by Aunt Chen?"

"I made it. Do you like the taste?" Gui Xingli replied.

"You made it?" Ye Yuning’s hand, holding the spoon, stiffened. It felt like such a sin, having a guest cook in her home while she, the host, was sound asleep. Ye Yuning felt a bit awkward, but Gui Xingli looked unconcerned.

"Yeah, I wanted you to try the only thing I can make really well."

"So, this porridge is the only thing you know how to cook?" Ye Yuning was shocked. Tasting the porridge, she’d initially thought Gui Xingli was practically perfect—not only beautiful and the head of Simon but also an amazing cook. And yet...

Gui Xingli nodded. "Only this one!"

"Alright then!" Ye Yuning conceded. Still, being able to make one thing so well was quite impressive.
