Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 633

At noon.

Qi Mulan arrived, carrying a thermal flask; any discerning person could tell what it contained.

When Kang Xuan saw her, he approached respectfully. "Miss Qi."

A gentle smile touched Qi Mulan’s lips. However, upon hearing Kang Xuan call her "Miss Qi," a flash of displeasure was evident in her eyes. Still, she chose not to take issue with Kang Xuan.

She simply asked softly, "Where is Aye?"

"Sir is in the office. I’ll go and inform him now."

"No need, I’ll go in myself," Qi Mulan said, moving to walk past Kang Xuan.

Kang Xuan’s expression stiffened, and he instinctively wanted to stop her. But Qi Mulan gave him a meaningful look, which made him back down.

Qi Mulan was quite satisfied with his reaction, but her eyes held a hidden contempt.

Xiao Linye stood before the floor-to-ceiling window and didn’t turn his head at the sound of the office door opening.

He simply said coldly, "Get out!"

He didn’t want anyone to disturb him right then.

Qi Mulan, holding the thermal flask, paused. "It’s me."

Xiao Linye turned around, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

Qi Mulan’s heart skipped a beat!

Thinking back to their time abroad, although Xiao Linye hadn’t shown any affection toward her then, at least his attitude wasn’t this cold... But now, because of Ye Yuning, everything had changed. That woman was like a siren, even managing to lure a steady man like Xiao Linye into fooling around with her. Now that they were discovered, she had walked away so casually... Yet, Xiao Linye’s current attitude towards her clearly showed he hadn’t gotten over Ye Yuning.

Xiao Linye pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, his tone still devoid of warmth. "Why are you here?"

Qi Mulan replied, "My mother stewed some Cordyceps Flower Chicken Soup. I know you like it, so I brought some over. Did I disturb you?"

Xiao Linye sat down in his office chair and gave Qi Mulan a cold glance. "You can leave for now."

The coldness made Qi Mulan’s face involuntarily stiffen.

"Also, the wedding gowns... they’ll be here soon. Can you help me choose one?"

"Mulan!" Xiao Linye’s tone grew harsh.

Qi Mulan trailed off, her heart sinking.

Xiao Linye said, "You know full well what this marriage of ours is. If you’re not willing, then let’s just forget it."

"No, I... I understand. I won’t make you choose. I’ll decide everything myself," Qi Mulan said frantically.

Yes, she knew what this wedding meant to her—it was just a contract. Why did she have to act like she had any expectations?

"Go back."

"Okay," Qi Mulan managed, her voice dry.

Then, without another word, she turned to leave.

But just as she took a step, she heard Xiao Linye say, "The soup."

Hearing this, Qi Mulan couldn’t stop her hands from nervously clenching together. She turned, picked up the thermal flask from the desk, and strode out of the office. Her retreating figure looked for all the world as if she were fleeing.

What was it like for a passionate heart to crash against an iceberg? Qi Mulan already knew. Now, Xiao Linye was making her experience it to the fullest. But what could she do? She wasn’t resigned, nor did she want to give up hope...

As Qi Mulan came out of the office, she saw the manager of the wedding dress team approaching with several employees, pushing racks of wedding gowns.

Seeing Qi Mulan, the manager approached respectfully. "Miss Qi, the wedding gowns you requested have arrived. Would you like to try them on now?"

The manager’s attitude was a stark contrast to Xiao Linye’s, and to Qi Mulan, it felt incredibly ironic.

The one person who should be most excited about this wedding showed no joy at all, while these staff members, responsible for the gowns, all wore festive smiles...

"Take them away!" Qi Mulan took a deep breath and said, her voice strained with embarrassment.

Hearing this, the manager’s face stiffened. "Miss Qi, what did you say? These gowns..."

"Take them away!" The manager hadn’t finished speaking when Qi Mulan cut him off, her voice sharp with anger.

There were quite a few people in the outer office area at that moment, and her sharp retort drew all eyes to her. And Qi Mulan felt an unprecedented wave of embarrassment!

Xiao Linye, how could he treat her like this? How could he be so heartless...

Qi Mulan’s grip on the thermal flask tightened, a furious anger coiling within her.

Seeing her fury, the wedding dress manager naturally didn’t dare to press the issue. He nodded. "Okay, okay, we’ll leave immediately."

With that, not waiting for Qi Mulan to erupt again, the manager waved his hand. "Go, let’s go. Right now."

The wedding dress team disappeared quickly.

Qi Mulan stood there, trembling all over, unable to move for a long time.

"Miss Qi, are you leaving?" Kang Xuan stepped forward and asked.

Qi Mulan snapped back to her senses. Without a glance at Kang Xuan, she stalked off, her face dark.

After she left, Kang Xuan went into Xiao Linye’s office. "Sir."

"Has she left?" Xiao Linye asked coldly.

His icy tone made even Kang Xuan shiver.

Clearly, Xiao Linye hadn’t shown her any warmth in the office either. No wonder she had left in such a state... But Kang Xuan knew the true nature of the marriage between Xiao Linye and Qi Mulan. Qi Mulan really shouldn’t be acting like this.

"She left, quite angry," Kang Xuan said.

"Get out!" Xiao Linye showed no reaction to Qi Mulan’s anger; he didn’t even have the patience to hear Kang Xuan out.

Kang Xuan nodded. "Yes, sir."

「He left.」

Once Xiao Linye was alone, he fiddled with his phone, his eyes growing darker.

Ye Yuning, Qin Jinchuan... These two names coiled relentlessly in his mind.
