Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 618

Actually, Qin Jinchuan had a really good personality; at least, it wasn’t quite like the rumors suggested. The rumors had painted him as an idiot! After he returned to normal, when Ye Yuning first saw him, she’d thought he seemed noble and aloof. But these past few days, the Qin Jinchuan she’d come to know was actually very humorous. Although his words were often harsh, coming from his lips, they didn’t seem quite so unbearable.

Seeing her like this, Qin Jinchuan touched his forehead. "All right, all right, I’ll get you something different at noon. Can you just drink this for now, please?"

"Mhm." Ye Yuning nodded.

Qin Jinchuan asked, "So, what do you want for lunch?"

"I want some green vegetables." These past few days, all I’ve had is chicken and chicken soup; I haven’t seen a single vegetable leaf. Her preferences still leaned towards a balanced diet of meat and vegetables.

But thinking of Qin Jinchuan’s rather inflexible nature, she hurriedly added, "There should be some meat dishes too. How about some shrimp?"

If she didn’t clarify, she worried he might actually bring her nothing but vegetables.

"You’re so demanding!" Qin Jinchuan remarked.

Ye Yuning pouted. "Are you going to get it for me or not?"

"Yes, of course, I will!"

Qin Jinchuan hummed softly.

He was now beginning to understand; girls truly seemed to enjoy their food...

Watching Qin Jinchuan’s expression, Ye Yuning smiled.

And seeing her smile, Qin Jinchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had been looking rather downcast these past few days.

"Um, there’s something I need to tell you. Try not to get too worked up, okay?"

"Is it about him?" Ye Yuning asked.

Since Qin Jinchuan had put it that way, it must undoubtedly be related to Xiao Linye.

Qin Jinchuan said, "His wedding date with Qi Mulan has been set. It’s the 16th of next month!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuning’s expression stiffened almost instinctively.

The 16th of next month? Today is already the 19th! That’s less than a month away.

"That’s so soon."

"This date was actually pushed back; the original one was even earlier."

Qin Jinchuan hadn’t dared to tell Ye Yuning the initially planned date.

Ye Yuning took a deep breath. "That’s good news. Old Master Xiao must be relieved, right?"

Xiao Linye marrying Qi Mulan would prove there was no longer any possibility between her and Xiao Linye. This was the best outcome for them.

However, hearing this news now, Ye Yuning couldn’t help but feel a pang of bitterness. Tears welled up unbidden in her eyes, but this time, she forcefully blinked them back.

Qin Jinchuan asked, "So, your plan is to stay in Turanxi indefinitely?"

"Didn’t I say so before? I like it here."

It might have seemed like she was just hospitalized these past few days, but in reality, she had been making plans daily. Chen Wei was due to arrive tomorrow; she had previously gone back to her hometown to make arrangements. Once Chen Wei arrived, they were going to truly get started with their plans here.

Qin Jinchuan nodded. "That’s good. Staying here is good."

Her never returning to Upper City would also spare her many awkward encounters and troubles.

Ye Yuning asked, "What about Xiao Shuo? Has he been released?"

Counting the days, she had already been away from Upper City for almost ten days.

Qin Jinchuan said, "He won’t be getting out. He might even face the death sentence."

"What?" Ye Yuning was shocked. How could that be?

She looked at Qin Jinchuan in disbelief. No matter how much of a letdown Xiao Shuo was, he was still a member of the Xiao Family, wasn’t he? Would the Xiao Family allow him to suffer such consequences? And just how damning was the evidence Old Master Xiao had prepared back then? For Xiao Shuo to be facing such dreadful repercussions! Thinking about it now, if that evidence had indeed been used against me... At that moment, hearing Qin Jinchuan’s words, Ye Yuning couldn’t help but feel a wave of lingering fear.

Qin Jinchuan saw through her thoughts and said, "Now you understand why I was in such a hurry to take you away? Still so ungrateful."

Ye Yuning was silent.

Back then, Qin Jinchuan had indeed been in a terrible rush, giving her no chance to react at all. He had just forcibly taken her away like that.

Qin Jinchuan continued, "It seems the Xiao Family handled this matter too slowly, and Gui Xingli meddled. Now, rampant public opinion in Upper City is accusing Xiao Shuo of murder."

"Under such public pressure, if Xiao Shuo can’t extricate himself from that evidence, he will definitely have to pay the price."

"Public opinion?" Ye Yuning’s breath hitched.

Speaking of public opinion, Xia Andai came to her mind. Tang Xi had called her before, saying that Xia Andai and Gui Xingli were the most involved in this matter. So, the evidence was tampered with by Gui Xingli. Then, the public opinion campaign was undoubtedly orchestrated by Xia Andai. Remembering how Xia Andai had been at odds with her all these years, she hadn’t expected her to stoop to this...

"And Ling Yan also had a hand in this," Qin Jinchuan added.

"Ling Yan?" Ye Yuning asked.

That woman? Speaking of her, Ye Yuning recalled that during Ling Yan’s previous visit to Upper City, besides their collaboration, Ling Yan had said all sorts of strange and puzzling things to her.

Qin Jinchuan said, "She and Gui Xingli probably wanted to teach Old Master Xiao a lesson this time."

Ye Yuning fell silent.

Ling Yan and Gui Xingli wanted to teach Old Master Xiao a lesson? She could understand if it were Gui Xingli. But Ling Yan... Though she and Ling Yan had clearly been at odds back in school, now Ling Yan was apparently willing to go to such lengths for her. For a moment, Ye Yuning couldn’t help but re-evaluate her past relationship with Ling Yan. That woman had seemed utterly wicked, but that wickedness, it appeared, wasn’t actually intended to destroy her! Yet Ling Yan had indeed taken away many of the honors that rightfully belonged to her...
