Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 640

Ye Yuning: "I didn’t!"

What she said was the truth. She hadn’t even processed how things had turned out between her and Qin Jinchuan. So much had happened recently. She didn’t even know how things had escalated to this point. Could she really be blamed?

Tang Xi: "..."

No! She said she didn’t. But now it had actually happened. Sigh, what kind of mess was this?

"I’m telling you, the Xiao Family alone is already causing an uproar in Upper City. If the Qin Family gets involved too, it will be even harder for you to handle."

"..."

"You know this; the biggest fear for these powerful families is becoming a laughingstock."

Tang Xi analyzed the stakes for her.

And it was this analysis that made Ye Yuning’s heart pound once again...

"My reputation is ruined, and isn’t it all because of the Xiao Family?" she said, her voice tinged with grievance.

Was it that she didn’t cherish her own reputation? In fact, everything started because of Xiao Shuo...

Tang Xi: "..."

It would have been better if she hadn’t brought this up. Now that it was mentioned, it felt like Gui Xingli and Ling Yan demanding ten billion from the Xiao Family was letting them off too lightly. The Xiao Family even thought it was a disgrace for Xiao Linye to be with Ye Yuning, viewing it as a joke. Had they ever considered who was truly responsible for Ye Yuning ending up with a child in the first place?! During the engagement with Xiao Shuo, his affair with Ye Tong had already turned Ye Yuning into a laughingstock. Despite all that, the Xiao Family still had the audacity to consider Ye Yuning an embarrassment.

Tang Xi sighed. "The weak can’t contend with the strong. When you’re dealing with people like that, even if it’s not your fault, it’s treated as your fault."

These people are just so unreasonable. What could one do?

Ye Yuning fell silent. Indeed, when it came to the Xiao Family, she really was like an arm trying to wrestle a thigh—powerless. But this stifled feeling in her chest was truly uncomfortable.

Tang Xi: "Alright, let’s not think about this anymore, okay?"

Easy to say, but how could she truly not think about it?

Ye Yuning: "These people are just too unreasonable."

"Yes, we all know!"

"..."

"But you and Qin Jinchuan—try not to stir up any trouble."

"I didn’t!"

"So, his feelings for you are one-sided?" Tang Xi raised an eyebrow.

Ye Yuning: "Do I look like a masochist?"

"That’s true, haha!" Back when they were in Upper City, Qin Jinchuan had looked like he wanted to eat her alive. So what on earth was this all about now? A man’s heart is truly like a needle in the ocean. Utterly impossible to understand or fathom.

Tang Xi looked around the house. "Is this Qin Jinchuan’s?"

"Mhm," Ye Yuning nodded.

Tang Xi: "Then I’ll buy you a house somewhere else. You can’t get entangled with him," she said with determination.

In Tang Xi’s view, Ye Yuning was in a very delicate situation, pregnant as she was. Qin Jinchuan pestering her like this was definitely not a good thing for her. If the Qin Family was truly straightforward, Qin Jinchuan wouldn’t have had to pretend to be a fool for so many years.

Ye Yuning nodded. "Okay."

She thought so too. Actually, she’d had this in mind ever since she first sensed Qin Jinchuan’s feelings for her. Now that Qin Jinchuan had torn away that final layer of pretense today, she absolutely could not stay here any longer.

"What are you thinking about? Why aren’t you saying anything?" Tang Xi continued speaking, but Ye Yuning didn’t respond.

Ye Yuning snapped back to her senses, having completely missed what Tang Xi had just said.

A trace of bitterness flickered in her eyes as she said, "Xiao Linye knows that I’m living with Qin Jinchuan."

"He knows? Did he say anything?" Tang Xi was shocked.

Ye Yuning shook her head. "No, not even a phone call."

Tang Xi: "Well, he’s really something else. And Qin Jinchuan is certainly direct enough."

Tang Xi already harbored dissatisfaction towards Xiao Linye. Hearing Ye Yuning’s words now, she felt even more strongly that when a man decided to be heartless, he could be far more cruel than any woman. Xiao Linye’s attitude made it seem as if he desperately wanted nothing to do with Ye Yuning. He probably wished their past encounter had all been just a dream.

Ye Yuning said no more. Evidently, she felt powerless to say anything further on this matter.

「Dinner!」

Qin Jinchuan indeed had the chef prepare roasted meat for her and Tang Xi, and it was delicious.

Tang Xi, who usually controlled her meat intake, ate quite a bit.

"Mmm, this meat is really good," Tang Xi said as she ate.

Ye Yuning watched her eat piece after piece and laughed, "Aren’t you afraid of gaining weight?"

"An occasional meal like this is fine."

How could Tang Xi possibly worry about gaining weight at a time like this? She had heard that the meat from Turanxi was the best in the world; due to the geographical environment, its quality was exceptional.

Ye Yuning: "If it’s tasty, then eat more."

"Speaking of which, what kind of ill-fated bond is this between you and Qin Jinchuan? If only you had married a fool back then, it would have been better than..."

At this point, Tang Xi suddenly realized what she was saying and hurriedly shut her mouth.

"Actually, neither he nor Xiao Linye is a good man," Tang Xi quickly amended.

If it hadn’t been for that whole affair in Upper City, Tang Xi might have actually commiserated with Ye Yuning’s regrets. But after that, Tang Xi certainly didn’t think Qin Jinchuan was any great catch either. Both of them were men best not provoked.

"Yes, neither of them is a good man," Ye Yuning sighed.
