Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 612

"Getting married?"

Xiao Linye might indeed marry Qi Mulan. After all, their wedding had been announced at Old Master Xiao’s birthday banquet back in Upper City. Now, Qi Mulan was his legitimate fiancée.

After a long pause, Ye Yuning’s voice was somewhat dry as she said, "Isn’t that how it should be?"

Qin Jinchuan’s hand, which was holding a cup, froze. His gaze turned icily to Ye Yuning. "So, you really plan to be a single mother? That will be very hard! When you’re alone, you can always manage. But once you have a child, especially a child without a father, the problems you’ll face are simply innumerable."

"But how do you expect me to explain it to him?" Ye Yuning asked.

"Tell him the child is his!"

"I did. When I told him I was pregnant, he flatly denied it." Yes, denied! To this day, Ye Yuning still cringed with embarrassment when she remembered that scene. Xiao Linye had made it so clear to her that he believed he couldn’t have children. In such a situation, how could she possibly explain? Could she say there was something wrong with the medicine Xiao Linye was taking? But he hadn’t even entertained such a suspicion himself! He was the first to doubt the child wasn’t his... Moreover, if he’d had even an ounce of trust in her, wouldn’t he have investigated the medicine’s ingredients by now? But no, he had done nothing, flatly denying the fact that the child was his.

Hearing Ye Yuning’s words, Qin Jinchuan also recalled Xiao Linye’s fury regarding this matter. Indeed, just as Ye Yuning said! Xiao Linye had flatly denied the child was his back then!

"You two..." he began, but trailed off.

"On the other hand, I’d like to know why you decided to help me this time," Ye Yuning retorted, her gaze cold as she looked at Qin Jinchuan.

His breath caught. Why? When he learned that the Xiao Family intended to harm her, he had acted almost on instinct. Now that Ye Yuning asked, all he could manage was, "You women are so irritating. Such a damn hassle."

He didn’t elaborate on the Xiao Family’s dealings. After all, the Xiao Family’s disgrace ultimately depended on Xiao Linye himself. Under the current circumstances, no one knew what the future held for Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye.

Qin Jinchuan took a deep breath and looked at her. "Do you hate him?" He was, of course, referring to Xiao Linye.

What women hated most was when their men didn’t trust them. Especially over something so significant; in a woman’s world, that was simply unforgivable.

When Ye Yuning heard Qin Jinchuan’s question, she paused, taken aback for a moment. Then, her voice low and heavy, she uttered a single word: "Hate."

Qin Jinchuan was speechless. Hearing Ye Yuning admit her hatred for Xiao Linye, he felt a surprising sense of relief. Logically, considering the relationship between the three of them, he should have sided with Xiao Linye. But Xiao Linye’s actions in this matter had been utterly monstrous. Scum! He really was utter scum! Had he never once suspected an issue with the medicine? Even if he hadn’t, wouldn’t it have been simple to investigate? Yet, this was still his attitude towards Ye Yuning...

"What’s the current situation in Upper City?" Ye Yuning asked Qin Jinchuan.

"I don’t know," he replied, a hint of petulance in his tone. "I haven’t contacted anyone there since bringing you to Turanxi."

"There’s really no need to be so secretive about it," Ye Yuning remarked.

"What did you say?"

"I’ve decided to stay here in Turanxi," Ye Yuning said with a sigh. Old Master Xiao just wanted her far away from Upper City, didn’t he? If she never returned there in her lifetime, surely he would cease his schemes?

"And you think that will completely reassure Old Master Xiao?" Qin Jinchuan scoffed.

"Isn’t Xiao Linye going to marry Qi Mulan anyway?" Ye Yuning countered. "Once that happens, what reason would they have to keep pursuing me?" Once Xiao Linye married, everything would truly be settled. Then, there really would be nothing left to be concerned about. That was how Ye Yuning reasoned.

But Qin Jinchuan let out a cold laugh. "You’re too naive about them. Isn’t their reason for not letting you go obvious? You’re a laughingstock to the Xiao Family. Is that reason not enough?"

Ye Yuning fell silent, her breath catching in her throat. Yes, she was a laughingstock to the Xiao Family. She had been engaged to Xiao Shuo and had almost married Qin Jinchuan. She was the adopted daughter of the Ye Family, whose biological daughter had ended up in Xiao Shuo’s bed. Even if none of these incidents were her fault, every single one was connected to her. And because of all this, she had become a running joke for the Xiao Family.

Yes, how could they allow a laughingstock like her to swagger about freely? They would undoubtedly take measures to eliminate such a problem.

At that moment, Ye Yuning felt even more certain that her decision to stay in Turanxi was correct. Initially, she had planned to stay in Luozhou. But within days of arriving in Turanxi, several major companies had approached her for collaborations. It was only then that Ye Yuning truly understood the extent of her international reputation. Staying in Turanxi didn’t seem too bad after all!

For her, now, the further away from Xiao Linye, the better. Her heart was already heavy, and these ongoing anxieties concerning Xiao Linye only made her feel worse.
