Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 690

In Qin Jinchuan’s view, when cotton clothes were truly needed in cold places, they offered better protection against the cold than down jackets.

「On the way to the airport.」

Xiao Linye continuously held Ye Yuning in his arms, wrapping the blanket tightly around her, ensuring not even a whisper of wind could reach her. Tang Xi sat in the front passenger seat while Qin Jinchuan drove. Glancing at the situation in the backseat through the rearview mirror, Tang Xi thought, It’s a good thing Ye Yuning is so petite. If it were anyone with a slightly more robust build, Xiao Linye would be exhausted carrying them!

The plane was on a dedicated flight path. The medical team arranged by Qin Jinchuan was already waiting on board. Xiao Linye carried Ye Yuning onto the plane, took her directly to the private cabin, and placed her on a bed that had already been warmed. The entire time, Ye Yuning never left her cocoon of blankets.

Once the plane had taken off and stabilized, Tang Xi came in. "This Mr. Xiao Seven sure is strong!"

Ye Yuning: "..."

Tang Xi looked at her. "To think he really carried you all the way here."

"I’m not heavy!"

"With you and the blanket, it must be about a hundred pounds, right?" Tang Xi huffed.

Ye Yuning: "Ninety!"

Tang Xi: "..."

Ninety pounds including the blanket... That’s a weight many people would envy, though she isn’t very tall to begin with.

"But the way Mr. Xiao Seven brought you to the airport—now that was truly manly!"

Ye Yuning: "You say that as if Jiang Bo never carried you before."

Tang Xi: "Don’t even get me started! He really hasn’t! That guy is beyond help—he carried me for a bit at our wedding and was gasping for breath before we’d gone five hundred meters."

Making it seem like I weighed a ton.

Thinking about that made Tang Xi fume. It’s true what they say; comparisons can be infuriating.

Listening to Tang Xi’s clearly indignant complaints, Ye Yuning smiled. "Alright, you’re divorced now. What’s there to complain about?"

"It’s a good thing we divorced. Given his health, who knows, he might have developed all sorts of illnesses before even getting old, and I would have been dragged down with him."

Ye Yuning smiled.

Truth be told, hearing about Tang Xi’s divorce felt immensely satisfying, no matter how you looked at it.

"Living with that family long-term would have taken its toll on you," Ye Yuning said. "It’s better that you’re out."

"Yeah, that’s for sure!"

Thinking of those hellish days, Tang Xi still felt somewhat dazed even now!

In any case, the divorce was final. There wasn’t much more to say about it.

"So, um, is Jiang Bo still suing you?" Ye Yuning asked worriedly.

Before Ye Yuning left Upper City, Jiang Bo had found out the children weren’t his and had caused Tang Xi a great deal of trouble.

Tang Xi: "We settled it out of court. I didn’t want to drag it out."

"Settled out of court?"

"Yeah, I gave him a million!"

Ye Yuning’s mouth twitched. "A million settled the whole thing?"

She found it hard to believe. During their divorce, Jiang Bo had been extremely demanding, practically wanting to split Tang Xi’s assets in half. With something as significant as the children not being his, she’d thought he would make outrageous demands again.

Tang Xi: "He must have run into some trouble; otherwise, a million wouldn’t have been enough to settle it."

Not to mention, Jiang Bo’s mother alone was more than a handful!

Ye Yuning nodded.

For now, that seemed like the only plausible explanation.

However, Ye Yuning gave Tang Xi a probing glance. "Are both of your children really not Jiang Bo’s?"

This was truly hard to believe.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xi’s expression instantly stiffened!

"Please, don’t ask me about this. I really don’t know what happened."

Ye Yuning: "..."

A mother who didn’t know how this happened? I don’t believe it. Even after all these years of friendship with Tang Xi, this was one thing I found truly unbelievable.

With an exasperated sigh, Tang Xi said, "Ugh, I genuinely don’t know what’s going on. I didn’t mess around."

Thinking about this, Tang Xi herself felt wronged. She truly knew nothing at all... After confirming the children weren’t Jiang Bo’s, she had even investigated the assistants closest to her. She had every man tested, even those who had already left her employment, subjecting them all to paternity tests one by one. But none of them turned out to be the children’s father. She had turned heaven and earth upside down to find the children’s father, vowing to make that bastard pay dearly. After all that effort, everyone she suspected was tested, but none of them turned out to be the father! That villain... it was as if he had never even existed in her world. Yet, somehow, he was the children’s father. Just thinking about it made Tang Xi’s blood boil.

Ye Yuning’s mouth twitched. "You didn’t mess around, I know that!"

But the problem remained: the children were definitely not Jiang Bo’s. What was Tang Xi supposed to do?

Tang Xi: "Ugh, let’s not talk about this anymore."

She would find that man, sooner or later.

Ye Yuning nodded, not broaching the subject again.

Tang Xi then changed the subject. "Ling Yan and Gui Xingli are still in Upper City. Things are a complete mess over there right now."

"Has Xiao Shuo been released from prison yet?" Ye Yuning asked.

Tang Xi shook her head. "No!"

It wouldn’t be that easy for Xiao Shuo to get out of there.

"It’s a trap Old Master Xiao set himself; Xiao Shuo has to suffer a bit and learn his lesson," Tang Xi continued.

"..."

"Ling Yan and Gui Xingli also want to see if Old Master Xiao truly has forsaken his grandson! After all, just saying so doesn’t make it certain."
