Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 630

Ling Yan and Gui Xingli were dead set on securing those five billion for Ye Yuning!

And the money had to come from Old Master Xiao.

Xiao Linye later made a call, saying that as long as the money was for Ye Yuning, he was willing to give any amount.

However, neither of these two women would have it.

The reason was simple: they wanted to teach Old Master Xiao a lesson, to show him that some people in this world shouldn’t be trifled with.

It wasn’t as if he could completely dominate Upper City, and no one in the world could do anything to him.

Naturally, Old Master Xiao was unwilling to give the money.

But Xiao Li kept crying before him daily, "Father, please save Ashuo! You must save Ashuo!"

"Get out!"

Initially, Old Master Xiao could understand Xiao Li’s worry and sorrow over Xiao Shuo’s situation.

Now, whenever Old Master Xiao saw him cry, he didn’t want to look at him.

Seeing him cry so desperately made Old Master Xiao wonder if Xiao Li would cry with such intensity if he himself died.

After all, it was five billion.

Was that an amount he could even give?

Now, he wished he didn’t know this son and had never had a grandson like Xiao Shuo!

These weren’t a son and grandson; they were clearly blood-sucking demons!

Xiao Li said, "The child got into this trouble because of you! How could you sabotage your own grandson?"

The more he spoke, the more impassioned Xiao Li became.

Tears streamed down his face.

This truly agitated Old Master Xiao so much that his brow began to twitch incessantly...!

「Three days later.」

Finally, Old Master Xiao couldn’t stand it anymore. "Fine, I’ll give it! I’ll give it, alright?"

He really had no other choice but to give in!

The main issue was those two witches; they clung relentlessly to this matter and wouldn’t budge no matter what was said.

Old Master Xiao knew that if he didn’t give the five billion, there was no way Xiao Shuo would be released.

By now, a full twelve days had passed since Xiao Shuo was detained!

Yet for Xiao Li and Xiao Shuo, it felt even longer than twelve years.

「Meanwhile, in Turanxi, Ye Yuning’s affairs were progressing steadily.」

Shang Yu, knowing that she wanted to invest in the tourism industry, directly introduced her to several Turanxi tourism officials.

The most significant among them was the head of the tourism bureau. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

This directly paved a very solid foundation for Ye Yuning’s subsequent plans.

「That day!」

After a social engagement with Shang Yu, Ye Yuning, beaming, extended her hand to him. "Mr. Shang, thank you."

"You’re welcome. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Shang Yu graciously shook the hand she extended.

He had a striking, almost dangerously handsome appearance, yet there wasn’t a hint of frivolity about him. On the contrary, he was exceedingly refined and noble.

Especially the subtle gentlemanly aura about him, which naturally inspired trust.

Hearing Shang Yu say she could turn to him for anything in the future, Ye Yuning smiled faintly and shook her head. "There’s no need. I can handle the subsequent matters myself."

"That’s good. I mean, if you do need help."

"Alright," Ye Yuning nodded.

The two walked outside.

Shang Yu said to her, "Shall I give you a ride back?"

"No need, I drove here myself."

"The weather in Turanxi has been poor recently, so driving isn’t very safe. Besides, you’re pregnant. It’s better if I take you."

Ye Yuning had instinctively said she drove.

When Shang Yu mentioned the unsafe road conditions, Ye Yuning paused.

The image of her previous fall flashed through her mind, and then she nodded to Shang Yu. "Then I’ll trouble you, Mr. Shang."

"My pleasure."

They exited the hotel together.

As they descended the entrance steps, Ye Yuning clearly felt how slippery the ground was and hesitated to walk.

It had to be said, the roads in Turanxi were truly treacherous.

With the snowfall and sub-zero temperatures, the roads had iced over and were definitely not safe for casual walking.

Just as Ye Yuning was about to adjust her long down coat, Shang Yu’s broad palm extended before her.

Ye Yuning looked at him.

Shang Yu said, "The road here is slippery. Give me your hand."

"Thank you." A smile touched Ye Yuning’s lips.

She then placed her cold little hand into the man’s broad palm.

Propriety between men and women?

Times had changed, not to mention that for Ye Yuning now, safety came first.

If she hadn’t sent Chen Wei to handle other matters today, she would have had Chen Wei accompany her.

Qin Jinchuan, who was there to pick up Ye Yuning, stood not far off. His face darkened instantly upon seeing the two of them walking hand-in-hand in the snow outside the hotel.

He took out his phone and snapped a photo of them holding hands in the snow-covered grounds outside the hotel.

He then found a contact in WeChat and sent it out.

Once they reached level ground, Ye Yuning said to Shang Yu, "It’s fine now."

"Mm, be careful."

"I know."

Ye Yuning naturally valued her own safety above all else.

She was terrified of falling. The pain was one thing, but more importantly, she didn’t want anything to happen to her child again.

Shang Yu walked beside her, glanced at her thin and delicate frame, and said, "Actually, you don’t need to push yourself so hard."

"Hmm?"

"A normal woman at this stage of pregnancy would definitely be resting at home. You could too."

A normal woman at this stage?

Ye Yuning paused, a flicker of sorrow crossing her eyes.

Yes...!

Most women do rest at home during pregnancy, recuperating.

When she first found out she was pregnant, she had also thought that after telling Xiao Linye, she would stay home and prepare for childbirth.

She had worked so hard all these years; what was wrong with taking a break during her pregnancy?

But who would have thought... "Sigh, I’m just not that lucky," Ye Yuning lamented.

Didn’t she want a normal life? Of course, she did. She didn’t want to be rushing about like this while pregnant.

But since this opportunity had presented itself, fleeting as it was, she had to seize it.

Besides, with no one to dote on her, why should she insist on playing the princess?
