Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 585

The office quieted completely.

After Chen Wei had sent Xiao Shuo away and returned, she saw Ye Yuning sitting pale-faced in the office chair.

Having seen her like this before, Chen Wei had always thought Ye Yuning was ill, but now, knowing the reason, she knew it was pregnancy.

It must be said, pregnancy is truly not easy for women.

"Are you all right?" Chen Wei approached and asked softly.

Ye Yuning shook her head. "I’m fine."

She said she was fine, but anyone who’s been pregnant knows it feels like your body isn’t your own. That feeling, as if your limbs have shortened, is truly frustrating.

"Are you sure there won’t be any problems with you attacking Xiao Shuo like that now?" Chen Wei asked.

"I know my own body!" Ye Yuning retorted.

"I’m not talking about your physical condition," Chen Wei said.

As for physical problems, the deed was done. If there really was an issue, the only option would be the hospital.

Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow. "Then what are you talking about?"

"The Xiao Family! And Xiao Qiye..." Chen Wei trailed off.

Previously, regarding Xiao Shuo, the Xiao Family had always turned a blind eye. But now things were completely different. Before, it was because the Xiao Family considered Xiao Shuo useless, and in Ye Yuning’s case, they believed it was entirely his fault. So, Ye Yuning beating him could vent her anger and also teach Xiao Shuo a lesson; it would be good if it could make him straighten up. But now, it was different! The Xiao Family now utterly despised Ye Yuning. They would inevitably use this as an excuse, under the pretense of seeking justice for Xiao Shuo, to come after her.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuning’s breath hitched.

The next moment, she scoffed, "Well, I’ve already hit him. What more could they want?"

Thinking about this, Ye Yuning felt extremely aggrieved. What kind of mess was this? From start to finish, she had no idea about Xiao Linye’s true identity. She’d even sworn that this wasn’t about getting revenge on Xiao Shuo. And the result? Now, regarding this matter, not a single person believed her!

Seeing her defeatist attitude, Chen Wei’s mouth twitched. "I still think you need to come up with a plan to deal with this."

Xiao Shuo had just been beaten severely; he was definitely going to end up in the hospital again. If the Xiao Family really used this to cause trouble for Ye Yuning, it would be completely understandable.

"I don’t want to think about it, and I can’t come up with anything!" Ye Yuning exclaimed.

Right now, with Xiao Linye about to marry Qi Mulan, her mind was a complete mess. Asking her to think of a solution? How could she possibly think of anything? She felt completely numb!

"Or," Chen Wei suggested, "if the Xiao Family comes after you, just say Xiao Shuo tried to hit you?"

This was a result of spending so much time by Ye Yuning’s side. Chen Wei had now learned to bite back when necessary, just like Ye Yuning.

However, perhaps because she was pregnant, Ye Yuning didn’t immediately understand Chen Wei’s suggestion. "He didn’t try to hit me," she said.

Chen Wei was speechless. Seriously, what was with this earnest tone? Whether Xiao Shuo had actually tried to hit her or not wasn’t the point, was it? The crucial thing now was to prevent the Xiao Family from using this to make trouble for her!

Before Chen Wei could speak again, Ye Yuning instantly understood. "Alright, then we’ll say he tried to hit me."

Seeing her nod, Chen Wei finally relaxed a little. "Then you absolutely must say that."

"If I say that, will the Xiao Family really not trouble me anymore?" Ye Yuning asked.

In her view, that was unlikely.

"It will at least lessen the impact!" Chen Wei insisted.

Chen Wei understood what Ye Yuning meant. The Xiao Family already despised her to death. If they found a reason, they would surely torment her mercilessly. Such a great opportunity, the Xiao Family definitely wouldn’t let it slip away. Still, it’s always important to reduce the impact! Considering Ye Yuning’s current condition, it’s best not to clash with the Xiao Family. Although arrangements abroad are almost complete, if Old Master Xiao truly gets angry, it’s entirely possible she won’t be able to leave Upper City. Therefore, before leaving, it’s crucial not to provoke anyone from the Xiao Family. Of course, it’s useless to say this now. Whether she should have struck or not, she already has.

"That Xiao Shuo deserved it! Let’s just hope the Xiao Family can be somewhat reasonable," Chen Wei grumbled.

Ye Yuning remained silent.

It would have been better if she hadn’t mentioned being reasonable! In Ye Yuning’s mind now, the Xiao Family, from top to bottom, was anything but reasonable. Especially after that one visit to the Xiao estate. What was all that about? It was utterly unbearable! Weren’t they just trying to make her leave Xiao Linye? Was there any need for such a grand spectacle?

"How could Xiao Qiye even suspect that the child in your womb isn’t his? You’ve been with him this entire time," Chen Wei said, even more frustrated.

Ultimately, in her view, the root of the current problem was Ye Yuning’s pregnancy. She knew exactly what kind of person her boss was. She couldn’t possibly be carrying someone else’s child. Absolutely impossible!
