Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 616

From Qin Jinchuan’s words, it wasn’t hard to discern just how deeply Elder Xiao despised her.

"Well, Xiao Shuo certainly has a wonderful grandfather," Ye Yuning remarked.

Qin Jinchuan replied, "Xiao Shuo probably thinks the same way now." He added, "However, whether Xiao Shuo actually knew what was going on with that evidence is another matter entirely."

But regardless, Elder Xiao had truly gone to great lengths to sabotage his own grandson this time.

Ye Yuning then asked, "So, you’re saying I absolutely cannot return to Upper City now?"

"There’s nothing for you to dwell on there. Why would you go back?"

True indeed! The Ye Family had never been her sanctuary. She once had some lingering concern for Xiao Linye, but things had taken such a turn. Looking at it now, there truly was no reason for her to return to Upper City.

Yes, nothing to dwell on.

"Forget about Aye’s matter. He will definitely marry Qi Mulan," Qin Jinchuan stated.

After all, Xiao Linye’s attitude had been crystal clear when Ye Yuning’s identity was exposed. Although saying such things at this moment seemed somewhat cruel—especially since she was being divorced while pregnant, and Xiao Linye was about to marry another woman—it was true. If it were anyone else, they might have been driven mad by now. But even for Ye Yuning, a swift, sharp pain was better than prolonging the agony.

"When can I be discharged from the hospital?" Ye Yuning didn’t want to discuss Xiao Linye anymore.

She didn’t want to...

Qin Jinchuan said, "You almost had a miscarriage today. Just stay put in the hospital for at least a week."

Ye Yuning began, "I..."

"Or, if you don’t want this child anymore, you can leave the hospital right now and go stir up trouble."

At those words, Ye Yuning immediately fell silent.

She wanted to keep the child. After all, in this world, not everything might be yours, but a child is truly your own.

"What would you like to eat later?"

"Chicken soup, is that okay?" Ye Yuning asked, her voice choked.

Perhaps everyone craves something nutritious when they feel weak. After experiencing such intense pain, and especially after lying in the snow for so long, she truly felt frozen through. Now, she desperately craved some chicken soup.

Qin Jinchuan nodded. "Okay, chicken soup it is then."

But how was he going to make chicken soup? Surely, store-bought chicken soup would be just as nutritious, right?

After such an ordeal, Ye Yuning was truly famished. She even devoured several pieces of bread.

Qin Jinchuan stepped out, intending to find out where he could get chicken soup.

When Ye Yuning was once again alone in the hospital room, her eyes gradually darkened, and her grip on her phone tightened.

"Getting married, huh..." How ironic.

Just now on the phone, she had still instinctively protected Xiao Linye, not daring to tell Gui Xingli that Qin Jinchuan was the one who had helped her leave Upper City. It seemed like she didn’t want to implicate Qin Jinchuan. But in that instant, her primary instinct had actually been to protect Xiao Linye. Now, that concern felt so bitterly ironic.

From their divorce to the present, Xiao Linye’s actions all seemed to indicate he had never truly cared about her. If he had cared, even just a little... how could he announce his engagement so quickly, and now... even be getting married?

At this moment, Ye Yuning felt an unprecedented sense of suffocation.

"Xiao Linye, oh Xiao Linye..." The memories of their time together flashed through her mind; those moments now seemed like a dream, ultimately a mistake. She had thought Xiao Linye treated her so well because he genuinely liked her, loved her. Now, seeing how quickly he could marry someone else, his past kindness must have just been a sense of duty, right? A responsible man would treat any wife well! It doesn’t matter who that woman is.

「At noon.」

Qin Jinchuan indeed brought her chicken soup.

"This Turanxi place is practically cursed; hardly anyone raises chickens. This pot of chicken soup cost over a thousand yuan. You can’t let it go to waste."

"It’s that expensive?" Ye Yuning asked, shocked. Although she wasn’t much of a cook, she still had a general idea of prices in Upper City. A chicken cost roughly over a hundred yuan.

Qin Jinchuan explained, "With this freezing weather, they say chickens can’t survive."

Alright! It does seem rather valuable when put that way. She knew that over a thousand yuan was nothing to Qin Jinchuan, but he was deliberately complaining. It was as if only by doing so could he momentarily distract her from the turmoil in her heart.

"Thank you," Ye Yuning said, her voice tinged with a touch of sorrow.

This chicken soup... it smells so fragrant and tastes so good. She held the thermos, and her eyes suddenly welled up.

Seeing her tears, Qin Jinchuan’s expression stiffened. "Seriously? It’s not so expensive it’s making you cry, is it?"

"You don’t have to be like this. Relax, I can support you. No matter how expensive the chicken soup, we can afford it," Qin Jinchuan said urgently.

Damn it, she better not cry in front of me. I’m terrible at comforting women.

Ye Yuning said, "I can support myself too, don’t worry. I’ll repay you for the help you’ve given me these past few days."

Qin Jinchuan scoffed, "Tch, just how much money do you have?"

Ye Yuning pursed her lips. "Although I don’t have as much money as you, I can’t always be spending yours. Besides..."

Besides what? Ye Yuning didn’t continue, her expression clearly showing a hint of awkwardness.

Qin Jinchuan raised an eyebrow. "Besides what?"

"Besides, the relationship between you and me is actually quite awkward," she finally said.

Her words made his breath catch.
