Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 684

Listening to Xiao Linye’s forceful tone, Ye Yuning didn’t speak. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Return to Upper City?

Ever since she left that place, she had never thought about going back.

Xiao Linye noticed Ye Yuning’s silence. His breathing deepened, and he wanted to say something more, but ultimately, he suppressed the suffocating tightness in his chest.

"Xiao Linye, you’ve achieved your goal. Why are you still here?"

And he even wants to take me back to Upper City?

Xiao Linye frowned. "What goal?"

Clearly, Xiao Linye hadn’t immediately caught on to what Ye Yuning was implying.

His goal?

What goal did he have?

Ye Yuning closed her eyes tightly, gripping the blanket in her hand, trying her best not to tremble.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "You wanted a divorce, and you got it. You didn’t want this child, and the child is gone. Now, no one can stop you from being with Qi Mulan. Why do you want to take me back to Upper City?"

Xiao Linye was speechless.

Upon hearing this, his mind buzzed.

His breath caught, and his heart clenched painfully.

His goal? Was that what she thought... his goal was? Did she believe he came here just to get rid of her child?

"Now there’s no one to stop you from being with Qi Mulan. Isn’t that enough for you?"

"I will not marry Qi Mulan!"

This time, Xiao Linye spoke with even more conviction.

Ye Yuning remained silent.

Not marry? Ha!

The Xiao Family’s chosen daughter-in-law... The announcement of that engagement had been so sensational.

Now Xiao Linye says he won’t marry Qi Mulan? Is it as simple as him saying no, and then it’s over?

Xiao Linye took a deep breath. "Ningning, about what happened before..."

"Enough."

Ye Yuning didn’t want to listen and interrupted him directly. She no longer wanted to care about what Xiao Linye was doing here now or whatever purpose he had.

There was no longer any relationship between them.

Xiao Linye said, "I won’t marry Qi Mulan. Remember that."

The explanations he hadn’t given before had resulted in the loss of the child, and now Xiao Linye didn’t dare to keep anything from her any longer.

He spoke word by word.

Yet Ye Yuning had closed her eyes.

At this moment, she didn’t want to listen to anything at all.

"I will not go to Upper City!"

No matter what was actually going on between Xiao Linye and Qi Mulan, she didn’t want to know or be involved.

She was determined not to return to Upper City.

"Yuning!"

"I have nothing left in Upper City..."

Xiao Linye fell silent. Hearing her words, his already heavy heart felt an even more suffocating tightness.

She said she has nothing left?

"As for how I have nothing, surely I don’t need to remind you, do I?"

Xiao Linye’s already constricted chest tightened further at Ye Yuning’s detached reminder.

How had she lost it all?

Back then in Upper City, she was his wife, yet everyone had rejected her. Qin Jinchuan, the Xiao Family—they had all made it impossible for her to remain in Upper City. Even when she lost everything in Upper City, he too had been secretly fanning the flames.

She had nothing left!

She, a foster daughter of the Ye Family, had made a name for herself without relying on anyone, pushing her studio to such heights. And in the end, she was left with nothing.

She lost everything, and he was a part of it...

"I’m sorry."

Xiao Linye closed his eyes briefly, his tone somewhat subdued as he spoke. He had never apologized to anyone in his life, yet now, he apologized to Ye Yuning.

He was wrong... He was truly wrong!

"I didn’t know at that time. If I had known..."

"Stop talking!"

Ye Yuning cut him off again. She didn’t want to listen. No matter what Xiao Linye said now, she didn’t want to hear it.

Hearing her detached tone, Xiao Linye felt even more suffocated and pained.

"Ningning!"

"I won’t go to Upper City."

Her repeated insistence, "I won’t go!" rather than "go back," showed what Upper City now represented in her heart.

Xiao Linye’s chest felt unbearably tight.

"Shang Yu is not a good person. He isn’t truly taking care of you. This man’s background is very complex; staying here will do you no good."

"Then who is a good person? You?"

To her, in Upper City, almost all those deeply connected to her were not good people. This time, it seemed Qin Jinchuan had helped her... But before, in Upper City, Qin Jinchuan had likewise not been a good person to her. Not a good person, huh? Who, then, is a good person?

Xiao Linye was left speechless again. Hearing Ye Yuning’s cold retort, his chest constricted once again.

True, Shang Yu isn’t a good person. But was he, to her, a good person? No...

"Regardless, this time you must come back to Upper City with me."

"The incident with the Tourism Bureau in Southwest Province wasn’t just an accident that happened to involve you."

Ye Yuning fell silent.

Speaking of that matter, after what had happened, she had indeed begun to doubt Shang Yu. The person had been introduced to her by Shang Yu. Shang Yu had been in Turanxi for such a long time; he should have had a good understanding of the local people. Yet the person he introduced had caused such an incident.

But suspicion was just suspicion.

Since it wasn’t the first time she had encountered such issues, Ye Yuning couldn’t easily come to a firm conclusion.

"Yuning..."

"No matter what, I will not go to Upper City."

Xiao Linye wanted to say more, but Ye Yuning interrupted him again.

No matter what, she would not go to Upper City. Now, regardless of what anyone said, she would not go.

Listening to her firm tone, Xiao Linye’s heart twisted even more painfully.
