Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 631

Xiao Linye was on the phone.

He was on a call with Elder Master Xiao, who was railing against the Gui Family and the Ling Family throughout the conversation.

"They only demanded this money for that enchantress from the Ye Family, which is simply outrageous."

Elder Master Xiao’s blood boiled with anger at Ling Yan and Gui Xingli’s behavior. His complaining tone on the phone was consistently cold.

When Xiao Linye heard him still referring to Ye Yuning as an "enchantress," he immediately hung up. His world quieted down, but the cold light in his eyes grew more intense. Especially when he saw the photos sent by Qin Jinchuan. In that moment, Xiao Linye’s grip on his phone was almost strong enough to crush it. He quickly dialed Qin Jinchuan’s number. There was no answer; the call disconnected immediately.

At that moment, Qin Jinchuan was standing in front of Shang Yu and Ye Yuning, pulling Ye Yuning behind him as soon as he saw Shang Yu.

"Thanks for tonight’s matter, President Shang." Qin Jinchuan politely extended his hand to Shang Yu.

But on the matter concerning Ye Yuning, he was clearly asserting his dominant stance.

A darkness crossed Shang Yu’s eyes!

Qin Jinchuan raised an eyebrow. "President Shang?"

Shang Yu came back to his senses and shook Qin Jinchuan’s hand. "It wasn’t for you, no need to thank me."

"Then why has President Shang been so caring towards our Ningning?" As Qin Jinchuan spoke, a smile remained on his lips, but there was a clear edge to his tone.

Ye Yuning’s brow twitched when she heard this!

She grabbed Qin Jinchuan’s arm. "What are you doing?"

Is this man sick in the head or what? she thought. What does he mean by "our Ningning"? Does she belong to him? How shameless to so effortlessly sing his own praises. Although she did owe him for the Upper City incident, hadn’t he previously been suppressing her? Had he forgotten? If not for her partnership with Xiao Linye, she wouldn’t have ended up unable to stay in Upper City in the first place. Now he has the nerve to create a stir here...

When Shang Yu saw Ye Yuning’s annoyed expression, a smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

Without a smile, the man was already bewitching. With one, not only Ye Yuning, but even Qin Jinchuan couldn’t help but miss a beat in his breathing.

He pinched Ye Yuning’s hand. "I’m just thanking President Shang on your behalf. Didn’t do anything else."

Ye Yuning was speechless. Is this how you thank someone? Thanking them so aggressively, as if they owe you something? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Ye Yuning glanced at Shang Yu. "Let’s head back first."

"Alright," Shang Yu responded indifferently, not making it difficult for Ye Yuning.

Ye Yuning hurriedly pulled Qin Jinchuan away. This man must be sick in the head, she thought. Maybe after playing the fool for so many years, he’s actually become one. He completely lacks the social tact to be diplomatic. Was that really an appropriate way to treat Shang Yu?

"What are you doing? Don’t rush off like that, don’t you know you’re pregnant?" Qin Jinchuan deliberately raised his voice.

Shang Yu, who was not far behind them, watched as they got into the car, fussing with each other. If it could be called fussing, it was mostly Ye Yuning trying to hit Qin Jinchuan!

Assistant An Ye appeared behind him. "Sir."

"Check out that Qin Jinchuan," Shang Yu ordered in a deep voice. In his tone, there was none of the gentleness he had shown Ye Yuning moments ago, only an endless chill.

An Ye nodded. "Yes, sir!"

Shang Yu cast one last glance toward the departing car, his eyes flashing coldly once again. He then turned and drove away.

「In the car!」

Qin Jinchuan glared fiercely at Ye Yuning, saying, "Why didn’t you tell me you were coming out with him?"

"Are you looking for an explanation from me?" Ye Yuning countered sharply.

Qin Jinchuan was taken aback by the question! Already somewhat irritated, his gaze toward Ye Yuning now held no kindness.

"Shang Yu is not a good man; you’d better keep your distance from him privately."

"He’s my business partner!" Ye Yuning retorted bluntly.

Not a good person? As if he, Qin Jinchuan, is any better. He’s far from a good person himself.

Her straightforwardness exasperated Qin Jinchuan. "You woman, don’t be so unappreciative of what’s good for you!"

"I met with several heads of the tourism bureau tonight. The matters concerning Southwest Province are on the agenda!"

"Hmph!" Qin Jinchuan scoffed disdainfully.

A woman with a successful career is such a nuisance, always socializing with men. How annoying! he thought. Now, Qin Jinchuan actually wished Ye Yuning weren’t so capable...

"Hmph what?" Ye Yuning asked.

"If you need those people for approvals or anything, just tell me. I’ll sort it out for you. Is it really necessary for you to attend dinners with those types while heavily pregnant?" Qin Jinchuan said bluntly.

The sight of her rushing about, heavily pregnant, was already distressing enough, and now she had to attend these social functions too. What kind of situation was this?

Qin Jinchuan felt extremely uncomfortable!

When Ye Yuning heard him use the term "those types," the corner of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"Qin Jinchuan, are you out of your mind?"

"I wish I were sick," Qin Jinchuan retorted. "Regardless, you are not to attend any more social gatherings."

A pregnant woman, out socializing!

Now, Qin Jinchuan was furious, though he wasn’t even sure of the exact reason.

Was he angry that Ye Yuning was out socializing? It seemed he genuinely was. Yet, a deeper layer of his anger was intertwined with the recurring image of Xiao Linye. He seemed to be angry at Xiao Linye for causing Ye Yuning’s current circumstances... If her life were stable, would she need to work this hard? Obviously, as Mrs. Xiao, she wouldn’t have to.
