Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 609

The design drafts were scattered all around her.

She gritted her teeth, enduring a back pain so severe it felt as if it would split her in two as she tried to get up. The slightest movement only brought more agony.

She wanted to call an ambulance, but she didn’t know the emergency number in Turanxi. The snow... so cold!

With trembling hands, she pulled out her cellphone and finally managed to call Qin Jinchuan. He picked up quickly. "Hello."

"Qin Jinchuan, I... I’ve fallen," Ye Yuning gasped.

Even her breathing made evident the immense pain she was enduring.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jinchuan was stunned at first.

Then an explosive voice came through the phone. "Where are you?"

"Yundong International... at the entrance."

"You can’t get up right now?"

Qin Jinchuan’s breathing was unsteady, interspersed with clattering noises, followed by the sound of a slamming door.

Ye Yuning said, "I’m... I’m in terrible pain."

"Wait for me, I’ll be there in a few minutes. Don’t move."

Hearing that she had fallen, Qin Jinchuan was frantic.

That morning before he left, he had told her not to rush things at Yundong International and to stay indoors because of the heavy snow. She wouldn’t listen, and now she had fallen...

The call remained connected.

On the other end, Qin Jinchuan kept trying to calm Ye Yuning. "How are you feeling now? Does anywhere specific hurt?"

Pain was a given. Otherwise, why would Ye Yuning be lying in the snow? On such a cold day, she naturally wouldn’t choose to lie there; she truly couldn’t move.

"I feel very cold," Ye Yuning said, gasping for air, feeling a bit suffocated.

Before coming to Turanxi, she had always longed for its snowy landscapes. However, now that she was actually in it, she realized how truly cold it was.

Qin Jinchuan snapped, "Of course, it’s cold! Don’t you see how many degrees below zero it is outside?!"

He was going crazy. Worried about Ye Yuning’s suffering, he kept scolding her over the phone. At this moment, it seemed he couldn’t articulate much else besides scolding.

And listening to him, Ye Yuning felt heartbroken.

Since their identities were exposed, Xiao Linye hadn’t scolded or questioned her even once. If only he could scold her continuously like Qin Jinchuan was doing now, that would be something... But no, Xiao Linye had done nothing... All their past moments, still so vivid in her memory. They used to be so sweet together, but now, thinking back, Ye Yuning only felt heartache. He truly didn’t want her anymore... That marriage had seemed sweet, but in the end, it had been fraught with danger for her. The entire Xiao Family seemed as if they would never let her go. Especially Old Master Xiao! Their first meeting had been unpleasant, and it was even more so now.

Ye Yuning took a deep breath. "Have you arrived yet? I’m really cold."

"Wait. So now you know you’re cold? Why don’t you just freeze to death?"

The angry words, though harsh, carried through the snowy wind from nearby.

Ye Yuning stiffly turned her neck and saw Qin Jinchuan getting out of his car, rushing towards her. He arrived very quickly, in less than five minutes. However, looking past him, Ye Yuning also clearly saw the front of his white G-Wagon was damaged. It was evident how frantically Qin Jinchuan had rushed over.

Qin Jinchuan took only a few strides to reach her. "What happened? Where are you hurt?"

He wanted to hold Ye Yuning, but seeing the pain etched on her face, he didn’t know where to put his hands, fearing he might injure her further.

"My back... my back hurts a lot," Ye Yuning gasped.

She was in genuine, severe pain.

Hearing it was her back, Qin Jinchuan became even more cautious, carefully lifting her into a princess carry. Every step was taken with utmost care, yet he couldn’t stop his angry tirade, "Why don’t you just die from the pain then? Ye Yuning, are you a fool? Is money that important to you?"

"Important. Of course, it’s important," Ye Yuning said without thinking.

Before Qin Jinchuan could respond, she continued, "It’s because of my birth and lack of money that the Xiao Family looks down on me. They think they can annul the engagement or divorce me whenever they please."

Qin Jinchuan fell silent.

Her words made his heart skip a beat. It had to be said, if one truly considered her past, Ye Yuning’s experiences had been tragic. It was only because she always acted indifferent that everyone assumed those events hadn’t hurt her. But had they really not? She was just a girl; how much impact would the Xiao Family’s actions have on her? Especially what Xiao Shuo did—it was utterly inhumane. He had an affair with Ye Tong, Ye Yuning’s nominal sister. What a tremendous humiliation that was! And concerning Xiao Linye, the Qin and Ye Families had pressured her together. She hadn’t known her own identity and had thought everyone was scheming to marry her off to a fool. She had married Xiao Linye in a panic, merely trying to resolve her own troubles. When truly considering everything, she hadn’t actually been wrong... Yet, she had ended up bearing the consequences for all those perceived mistakes.

Qin Jinchuan looked at Ye Yuning in his arms and suddenly asked, "If I hadn’t been a fool back then, would you still have married Xiao Linye in such a panic?"

"If you hadn’t been a fool, would it have been my turn?" Ye Yuning’s eyes were brimming with tears.

Qin Jinchuan’s heart clenched at her words.

Yes, if he hadn’t been a fool, his mother wouldn’t have considered the Ye Family. Even if they had been fortunate enough to negotiate with the Ye Family, the Ye Family would certainly have tried to marry off that wretched Ye Tong to him. How could it ever have been her turn, Ye Yuning?
