Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 685

At noon, Tang Xi and Qin Jinchuan visited again. Xiao Linye’s expression was tense as Tang Xi went directly into the hospital room.

In the corridor, when it was just Xiao Linye and Qin Jinchuan, Qin Jinchuan noticed Xiao Linye’s sullen expression, furrowed his brow, and asked, "The talk didn’t go well?"

This was, in fact, what Qin Jinchuan had hoped to see. After all, harboring such intentions toward Ye Yuning, he naturally didn’t wish for anything good to develop between her and Xiao Linye.

Xiao Linye’s breathing grew heavy. "She’s unwilling to return to Upper City. Her attitude is resolute, and her tone firm."

Hearing this, Qin Jinchuan’s expression stiffened. If their conversation about this had been unpleasant, then he had nothing to be happy about. "This... didn’t you make it clear to her? Given the current situation in Turanxi, she simply can’t continue to stay here."

After Xiao Linye had spoken, Qin Jinchuan had done some more digging into the past events that morning. He hadn’t known before, but his investigation revealed that the half-map from back then was very likely in Shang Yu’s hands. But as for the other half, its current whereabouts were a mystery. Was it really in Sheng Hanyi’s possession? And after his death, into whose hands did that half-map fall? No one knew any of this.

Xiao Linye said, "In her heart, none of us are good people. Whether Shang Yu is a good person is completely irrelevant."

Qin Jinchuan: "..."

This... It had to be said, truly, in Ye Yuning’s eyes, they really weren’t good people. Thinking back on the atrocious things he had done to Ye Yuning, Qin Jinchuan couldn’t help but sigh. At the time, he had just been very angry, purely wanting to vent. But who could have known? Their so-called venting might have been a devastating blow to Ye Yuning.

"Regardless, she must return to Upper City," Qin Jinchuan stated firmly, perhaps more to himself than to Xiao Linye.

As for the past, there was no point dwelling on it. If they really were to dredge up old grievances, then they could never expect forgiveness in this lifetime. When they did those things back then, they hadn’t felt anything was amiss, but now, looking back... It had to be said, their actions had been truly despicable! At the time, it was just a simple word from them, yet what they destroyed was Ye Yuning’s painstaking effort.

"No matter what, get her back to Upper City first!" Xiao Linye then said, his voice cold. "And put away your intentions toward her!" His tone carried a strong warning for Qin Jinchuan.

Qin Jinchuan’s breathing hitched. If it came to that, he...

"We’ll talk about it later!" Qin Jinchuan finally said. Regarding Ye Yuning, Qin Jinchuan was reluctant to give a direct response. Right now, he wanted to help Ye Yuning overcome this crisis. If Shang Yu became convinced the half-map was related to her, it went without saying what kind of vortex she would be pulled into.

Seeing Qin Jinchuan avoid a direct answer, Xiao Linye’s expression darkened further. His gaze towards Qin Jinchuan was unprecedentedly cold.

...

Outside the ward, the atmosphere had grown incredibly tense. A single point of disagreement had reignited the animosity between Xiao Linye and Qin Jinchuan. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Inside the hospital room, after helping Ye Yuning finish her meal, Tang Xi muttered, "I don’t know if those two are crazy. When I get back, I’ll ask Qin Jinchuan, but he doesn’t say anything." Neither Ye Yuning nor Tang Xi knew what had caused Qin Jinchuan’s attitude to change so suddenly today. Tang Xi had wanted to get some answers out of him, but Qin Jinchuan hadn’t clarified, only saying that the matter was complicated and that Ye Yuning couldn’t continue to stay in Turanxi. He said nothing else...

Ye Yuning said, "Xixi."

"Hmm?" Tang Xi responded.

"I won’t go to Upper City!" Facing Tang Xi, Ye Yuning maintained her firm stance. She also wanted Tang Xi to convey her position to Qin Jinchuan.

Tang Xi hesitated. "This..."

"To me, neither of them are good people," Ye Yuning stated.

Tang Xi was momentarily stunned. "..."

Come to think of it, although Qin Jinchuan had helped Ye Yuning a great deal this time, in a way, he was cut from the same cloth as Xiao Linye—neither of them was a good person!

"You’re right," Tang Xi said. "He acts like he’s doing this for your own good now, but who knows what tricks he’ll pull if you go back." Thinking back to the methods Qin Jinchuan had used against Ye Yuning, Tang Xi still felt a chill run down her spine. Before, she only knew that Xiao Seventh Master shouldn’t be trifled with. But after witnessing Qin Jinchuan’s tactics against Ye Yuning, Tang Xi realized that Upper City now had another man who couldn’t be trifled with: Qin Jinchuan.

Just as Qin Jinchuan entered, he heard Tang Xi’s last remark. His expression immediately darkened. The entire hospital room became oppressive, the air thick with the suffocating aura emanating from him.

Seeing Qin Jinchuan, Ye Yuning turned her face away, and Tang Xi’s expression soured.

"You, go out first," Qin Jinchuan said coldly. Though his words were directed at Tang Xi, his gaze was fixed on Ye Yuning.

Tang Xi ignored him, instinctively looking at Ye Yuning.

Ye Yuning sighed. "Xixi, you should go out first."

"Okay."

Since Ye Yuning had said so, Tang Xi stood up. Moments before, when Tang Xi hadn’t moved, Qin Jinchuan’s expression had already turned exceedingly grim. Now, seeing her obey Ye Yuning so readily, a fire of resentment blazed in his heart! For the two women to be this close was simply outrageous...

Still... no matter how terrible the rumors about Ye Yuning were, her friendships with other women were actually quite good. Her few friends were all exceptionally talented. Tang Xi, Xia Andai, Ling Yan, and Yan Jun—these were all friendships she had formed back in school. Judging by these relationships, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her character.
