Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 646

"Yes! Now, the wedding controversy between Qi Mulan and Xiao Linye is so significant, it’s clearly meant to overshadow the scandal between her and Xiao Linye. In the eyes of the Xiao Family, what happened between her and Xiao Linye is just a joke."

"You’re right. It’s to cover up this joke between him and me," Ye Yuning said bitterly. A joke, huh... How did what happened between her and Xiao Linye become a joke? How could they...?

Hearing her tone, Tang Xi looked at her with even more concern. "You don’t have to take it to heart."

"Xi Xi, we were so good together."

"Mm-hm, I know," Tang Xi nodded. They had been very good. Back when Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye were together, they truly seemed perfect for each other.

"But that kind of good couldn’t even withstand the slightest setback," Ye Yuning said acidly.

Tang Xi was speechless. Hearing this, she suddenly didn’t know how to respond. Although she didn’t know exactly what had transpired between Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye when things came to light. Ye Yuning was a proud person; she hadn’t made a public scene. But don’t be fooled by her seemingly nonchalant departure; in reality, that man had truly captured her heart.

"I just never imagined he would react this way regarding this matter."

Speaking of this, Ye Yuning felt a flicker of hatred in her heart! Hatred? Actually, she wasn’t as nonchalant as she appeared on the surface; she cared deeply for Xiao Linye. She had even come to see him as her sole pillar of support over the years! Her life had been hard. She had been lonely since childhood—a kind of loneliness where there was no one to depend on. It felt as if, no matter what she encountered, she had to handle it all on her own, face everything by herself. Having finally met someone she could lean on, she had trusted him with all her heart. But who would have thought that the moment trouble struck, he would pull away so abruptly, leaving her utterly unprepared?

Hearing the bitterness and resentment in her voice, Tang Xi gently placed her warm palm over Ye Yuning’s. "Alright, try not to dwell on it anymore, okay?"

Tang Xi didn’t want Ye Yuning to continue dwelling on it.

Ye Yuning took a deep breath. "But my heart aches. It truly aches."

"Mm-hm, I know."

"How could he treat me like that?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"He’s a bastard! He’s just a bastard!" Tang Xi declared firmly.

At this point, what Xiao Linye had done to Ye Yuning no longer mattered. Even the impact on the Xiao Family wasn’t important anymore. What mattered was that he had found a place in Ye Yuning’s heart. Yet his departure had been so clean and decisive.

"He was so cold when he left," Ye Yuning said, her voice somewhat strained. This was the first time she had spoken so candidly to Tang Xi about these matters; previously, she had always just brushed past them. But now...!

Tang Xi nodded. "Then let’s ignore him from now on, okay?"

"Ignore him. We won’t have anything to do with him." Speaking of the future, Ye Yuning’s tone became remarkably firm.

"Xi Xi, you have no idea what I’ve been through recently."

Everyone saw her as incredibly busy! But no one knew she was just trying to numb herself. Only by burying herself in work could she find a sliver of relief from the pain in her heart. But in reality, her heart was in immense pain!

Tang Xi was silent. How *had* she gotten through it?

"I know. I know everything," Tang Xi said, hugging her.

Xiao Linye had captured her heart, and it must have been the first time Yuning had truly fallen for someone. First love always hurts the most!

Ye Yuning declared, "I will never have anything to do with him again."

"Mm-hm, don’t."

"If I ever associate with him again, I’m not even human!" Ye Yuning exclaimed hotly, though in truth, her heart ached even more.

Xiao Linye was never coming back. He was getting married. He was about to become another woman’s husband, and Qi Mulan’s name would be written in the spouse column of his household registration. His world would soon be filled with traces of Qi Mulan. Pain... So much pain... She had been using her busy schedule to numb herself all this time, but when she truly allowed herself to think about it... Ye Yuning realized just how suffocating it all was.

"I want to see if being someone’s pillar of support is really that difficult! Is it truly impossible not to give up?" Ye Yuning said, her voice tight with emotion, as if she were suffocating.

Hearing this, Tang Xi’s heart clenched. At that moment, hearing Ye Yuning’s words, she seemed to understand why Yuning was so determined to keep this child.

"But a child and a lover are different. You can choose to leave a lover if the relationship isn’t working out or if they’re unhappy, but you can’t abandon a child."

"Then I will be the child’s unwavering support, forever."

Tang Xi was taken aback. Forever?

"That’s not just support; that’s being a guardian!"

"Then I’ll become my child’s guardian!"

She wanted to see if there truly was a love in this world that could endure despite all obstacles. Xiao Linye had given up on her. In her eyes, it was because the obstacles between them were too numerous, and also because her own background made her feel awkward. And what about their child? Even if the child learned the truth one day, he would probably find it shameful and despise her for it, wouldn’t he? That would be fine... In that case, the child would always be hers, and no one could ever try to take him away from her.
