Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 672

In Qin Jinchuan’s opinion, Ye Yuning absolutely couldn’t go back to Upper City now. This time, because of this incident involving her, Gui Xingli and Ling Yan had planted even deeper seeds of hatred for Ye Yuning in Old Master Xiao’s heart. Right now, Xiao Shuo was still inside. And because of her, Gui Xingli and Ling Yan kept relentlessly pressuring Old Master Xiao. Old Master Xiao now detested Ye Yuning to death. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Absolutely not. If you’re really not going to marry Qi Mulan, then go back and handle it yourself, but you can’t take her back," Qin Jinchuan said very firmly after much deliberation.

And Xiao Linye... After this incident where his identity was revealed, Qin Jinchuan also realized that Xiao Linye’s attitude might be ambiguous and unstable when faced with major upheavals. Moreover, both the Qi Family and the Xiao Family currently harbored intense hostility towards Ye Yuning. Who knew what kind of tricks these people would pull behind the scenes? Qin Jinchuan had grown up in the Qin Family... He had seen far too many of the underhanded tactics those women employed and the filth hidden behind those who appeared to be paragons of virtue. If Ye Yuning were to return with Xiao Linye, she would undoubtedly infuriate both the Xiao Family and the Qi Family. With so many people plotting behind her back, it would be impossible to guard against!

Faced with Qin Jinchuan’s firm questioning, Xiao Linye took another drag on his cigarette before responding coldly, "It seems you have no reason to stop me."

"You... what do you mean by that?"

"Jinchuan, you shouldn’t have gotten involved with her. She almost married you, but she didn’t become your wife. On the contrary, she was my wife," Xiao Linye declared.

Qin Jinchuan was speechless. No... What on earth does he mean by that?

"Yes, she became your wife, but you divorced!" Qin Jinchuan said through clenched teeth.

He could clearly hear that Xiao Linye was telling him to stay away from Ye Yuning. But when it came to having a relationship with Ye Yuning! He, Qin Jinchuan, had no relationship with her, and it seemed neither did Xiao Linye anymore.

A dark light flashed in Xiao Linye’s eyes, but he didn’t respond to Qin Jinchuan’s question any further.

"If it weren’t for my intervention this time, she might not have left Upper City alive. And now you want me to stay away from her?" Qin Jinchuan said, his tone laced with irony. "When she really needed you, you never seemed to be there!"

The air once again fell silent.

The depths of Xiao Linye’s eyes darkened further, and an almost imperceptible flicker of pain passed through them.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, this incident with Xiao Shuo made it clear that Ye Yuning had indeed been nearly entrapped.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the heaviness in his chest.

Before he could speak, Qin Jinchuan continued, "Since we both apparently have no connection to her, why don’t we both refrain from forcefully intervening in her own decisions? How about that?"

"What do you mean?"

"Whether she wants to return to Upper City with you or not—let her choose for herself!"

As Qin Jinchuan finished speaking, Xiao Linye looked at him, danger shimmering in his eyes.

However, Qin Jinchuan also fearlessly met Xiao Linye’s gaze. "Let her choose for herself."

Word by word, Qin Jinchuan spoke with particular firmness.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, he had to acknowledge that Ye Yuning was intelligent; that woman was very shrewd most of the time. In a situation like this, she would definitely know how to choose. In Qin Jinchuan’s view, Ye Yuning would certainly not choose anything related to a man’s affection right now. So, Xiao Linye wanting to take her back to Upper City was out of the question... She wouldn’t choose me, and at the same time, she wouldn’t choose Xiao Linye either—the man who had caused her to lose her child.

Although he wasn’t sure what exactly had happened to Ye Yuning after she was taken away last night, from this long conversation with Xiao Linye, Qin Jinchuan understood that Xiao Linye probably hadn’t intended for it to happen. But so what?

The child was gone... The child Ye Yuning cared so much about was gone. And now, Upper City was still abuzz with talk of his wedding to Qi Mulan. Even a foolish woman wouldn’t choose to return with him at this point, let alone someone as clever as Ye Yuning.

"So, you’re saying our relationship ends here, is that it?" Xiao Linye asked, his gaze fixed on Qin Jinchuan, his expression gloomy.

Qin Jinchuan was silent, his breathing suddenly growing heavy.

He fixed his gaze on Xiao Linye, his heart trembling lightly. "It sounds ridiculous, and quite childish! Something like this would never have happened in my world before. But now, if it must be this way, then so be it."

Ending a brotherhood over a woman? In his world, that was something that would never have happened. He remembered two friends from his study abroad days who had become enemies over a woman; back then, he’d even found the woman quite disgusting. But now, experiencing it firsthand, Qin Jinchuan finally understood how helpless those two friends must have felt.

Upon hearing Qin Jinchuan’s words, the darkness in Xiao Linye’s eyes deepened.

"Don’t use force on her," Qin Jinchuan declared. "I won’t allow it!"

Their bond was utterly torn apart in that moment, every word from Qin Jinchuan heavy with unyielding resolve.

Xiao Linye’s lips pressed thin, his gaze also flickering with intense danger.

「...」

Outside the hospital room, tensions ran high.

Inside the hospital room, Ye Yuning, having cried her fill and utterly exhausted, just wanted to fall into a deep sleep again.

"Even if you don’t want to eat, you should at least drink the soup. Be good," Tang Xi urged gently.

"I don’t want to eat."

Ye Yuning shook her head.

She didn’t want to eat or even drink! She felt so awful inside that she had no desire for anything at all.

Hearing this, Tang Xi sighed, "Then sleep for a bit."

She couldn’t bear to force her! People often felt this way when they were at their most distraught—unable to eat or drink anything.
