Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 593

Ye Yuning glanced at the two bodyguards lying in the corridor, her eyes darkening.

She took a deep breath and asked, "What are you doing?"

The bodyguards were Gu Xingli’s men, but Qin Jinchuan had dealt with them silently. And she hadn’t heard a thing!

"Come with me to the airport. Now." Qin Jinchuan grabbed her wrist.

Ye Yuning instinctively tried to shake him off, but Qin Jinchuan’s grip was so strong she had no chance to resist.

"Let go of me!" she snapped, glaring at him, clearly annoyed.

Qin Jinchuan demanded, "Ye Yuning, do you still not realize the seriousness of this situation?"

He was furious! What trouble had this woman stirred up for herself, yet she remained clueless? The Xiao Family—was that an entity she could provoke at will? Especially at such a critical juncture... What? Did she think her history with Xiao Linye afforded her some special consideration? The Xiao Family wouldn’t view her past involvement with Xiao Linye as any sort of connection; they would only see it as a blemish.

Hearing Qin Jinchuan’s grit-toothed question, Ye Yuning’s breathing grew heavy again. "My affairs are none of your business. No matter how serious things are, you don’t need to worry."

"So, who do you want to worry about this then? Xiao Linye?"

Ye Yuning fell silent.

The air instantly grew still.

The mention of Xiao Linye seemed to strike a raw nerve; Ye Yuning’s face turned deathly pale in an instant. Her eyes, especially, now showed unconcealed sorrow.

The anger that had Qin Jinchuan gritting his teeth faltered when he saw her state. He ran a hand through his hair, frustrated and helpless.

"Fine, I won’t say any more!" he exclaimed.

Ye Yuning offered no reply.

"But," he pressed on, "you’re a smart woman. You should understand perfectly well that Upper City is no longer a place where you can stay."

As he spoke, Qin Jinchuan glanced at his watch. The next moment, before Ye Yuning could speak, he urged, "We’re running out of time. Let’s go."

"Qin Jinchuan," Ye Yuning said suddenly, making him pause.

"What is it?" he asked.

She had called his name without any warmth, yet it still tugged at his heart.

Ye Yuning looked up at the man’s handsome profile. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

It had to be said, Qin Jinchuan was genuinely handsome. For such a good-looking man, it was a wonder he’d been rumored to be a fool. But considering his recent actions within the Qin Family, those rumors must have been deliberately spread by him. People like them... their world was never simple.

Ye Yuning took a deep breath. "You should go. You don’t need to concern yourself with my affairs."

"You..." Qin Jinchuan began, but Ye Yuning cut him off.

"I know all about the relationship between you and Xiao Linye."

If she left with Qin Jinchuan now, what exactly would that imply? Because of her engagement to Xiao Shuo, she had already been utterly disgraced before the Xiao Family. If she left with Qin Jinchuan now, how would Xiao Linye ultimately view her?

A dull ache throbbed in Ye Yuning’s heart at the thought of Xiao Linye.

She must be crazy... Still worrying about how Xiao Linye would see her at a time like this! What was there to even consider? He was already convinced the child in her womb wasn’t his. That meant there was absolutely no future between them.

Yet, after suffering such a blow, Ye Yuning almost instinctively wanted to protect her reputation.

When Qin Jinchuan heard her, he immediately understood her concerns.

His expression darkened again. "At a time like this, you still have the mind for such thoughts?"

Ye Yuning retorted, "How can I not think about them?"

She had been too careless about these matters before, and that carelessness had planted the fuse for the explosive situation between her and Xiao Linye.

"Anyway, thank you."

Qin Jinchuan had come to her at a time like this, even arranging for her to leave. Regardless of his reasons, she hadn’t expected him to offer help at such a moment.

Hearing her words of thanks, Qin Jinchuan naturally sensed the firm refusal in them.

He couldn’t help but grit his teeth. "You stubborn woman..."

"Go," Ye Yuning said. "Don’t let the relationship between you two be ruined because of me."

She and Xiao Linye were divorced, and Qin Jinchuan was his best friend! If she really left with Qin Jinchuan now, the truth would inevitably come out. And when people found out one day, it would inevitably become another scandal.

Qin Jinchuan, feeling his lungs ache with frustration, exclaimed, "Even now, you’re still considering him?"

He had to admit, this woman was truly remarkable, even surprising him. Rumors painted Ye Yuning as utterly selfish. Yet now, despite everything that had happened with Xiao Linye, she wasn’t angry; instead, she was trying to protect his standing. After all, when Xiao Shuo had acted against her before, she’d shown no overt reaction but had nearly beaten someone to death in secret. Yet now, she was still considering Xiao Linye’s interests at every turn. But judging by Xiao Linye’s recent reactions to her, was this consideration of hers truly worth it?

"I’m not considering anyone else. I’m considering myself," she declared.

"You care about these things?" Qin Jinchuan raised an eyebrow.

Ye Yuning replied, "I didn’t use to care, but now I do. Life is long, after all, and I don’t want to leave too many blemishes on mine."

What Ye Yuning said was, in this respect, true. In the past, she genuinely hadn’t cared at all, but now, she truly did.

Qin Jinchuan, naturally, didn’t believe her.

"Alright, alright. Nothing is more important than saving your life." With that, he pulled Ye Yuning out of the room.
