Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 691

Old Master Xiao thought he could avoid the issue this way, but Gui Xingli and Ling Yan had been in their positions for years. What kind of people hadn’t they seen? Even if he truly abandoned Xiao Shuo, this lesson was surely going to be a tough one for Old Master Xiao to swallow.

Ye Yuning fell silent on the matter of Xiao Shuo.

Yet Tang Xi was extremely dissatisfied. "Old Master Xiao really went too far! You left with nothing before, even left Upper City, and he still wasn’t satisfied, creating this plot to harm you."

"That’s nothing! Didn’t they also send people to Turanxi?"

The people of the Xiao Family were just that ruthless.

Tang Xi’s breathing grew heavy.

It had to be said that the Xiao Family’s ruthlessness wasn’t just a little bit; it was exactly as the rumors portrayed.

「...」

It was all because of Ye Yuning’s condition; she had just suffered heavy bleeding and a miscarriage. Xiao Linye was very worried and had the doctor check on her almost every half hour.

Tang Xi wanted to stay by Ye Yuning’s side. However, when the doctor came in for the second time, Qin Jinchuan directly dragged her out.

This thoroughly angered Tang Xi.

"What are you doing? Ningning doesn’t even want to sleep!" Tang Xi glared at Qin Jinchuan, displeased.

Qin Jinchuan snorted coldly. "She doesn’t need your company!"

"Then who does she need? Xiao Linye? If I remember correctly, you have feelings for Ningning, don’t you? What’s the meaning of this now?"

Qin Jinchuan was speechless. After her words, his already sour expression darkened completely. He glared fiercely at Tang Xi without saying a word.

Tang Xi scoffed. "Men. Hah!"

Previously, Qin Jinchuan had launched all sorts of advances toward Ye Yuning. His coercive tactics in Upper City—they all saw his true intentions crystal clear. It was just a shame that Ye Yuning was a bit slow on the uptake. But with Qin Jinchuan’s feelings being so obvious, there was no way she hadn’t noticed at all. It was just that Qin Jinchuan’s current behavior was truly baffling.

Qin Jinchuan’s face darkened. "You just love meddling, don’t you?"

"Your business? I really couldn’t care less!" Tang Xi scoffed.

Whatever Qin Jinchuan’s intentions toward Ye Yuning, she truly had no desire to interfere! With Ye Yuning’s straightforward nature—where ’yes’ means yes and ’no’ means no—if Qin Jinchuan genuinely had feelings for her, he’d be the one getting hurt. Ye Yuning likely wouldn’t be affected at all.

Yet, one thing did worry Tang Xi. "When you go back, you aren’t going to use those coercive tactics on her again, are you?"

Qin Jinchuan was speechless. His already icy expression turned utterly black upon hearing Tang Xi’s words.

"You women..."

Is this really how they see me?

Seeing Qin Jinchuan so exasperated he was speechless, Tang Xi couldn’t be bothered with him any longer and turned towards the bar.

Watching her swagger off, Qin Jinchuan sneered, "She doesn’t even know who the father of her child is. What’s she got to be so arrogant about?"

Tang Xi froze. Upon hearing this, her breathing hitched, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

「...」

Inside.

Xiao Linye handed Ye Yuning the soup. "This soup was brought from Turanxi. It’s been kept warm."

Ye Yuning didn’t want to drink it. Was it a genuine lack of appetite, or was it because Tang Xi had been feeding her so well these past two days that she’d simply eaten too much? Now, just looking at the soup made her reluctant.

"Can I skip it?"

"Your body needs nourishment right now."

Ye Yuning was silent. Now she somewhat understood what mothers felt during their postpartum confinement. During that period, many mothers were reluctant to eat too much, worried about gaining weight. She had the same concern now! Although she wasn’t someone who gained weight easily, that only meant she wouldn’t become absurdly fat. Eating several hearty meals a day like this? It would be a miracle if she didn’t gain weight.

Just as Xiao Linye was coaxing her to finish the soup, a commotion erupted outside.

Xiao Linye frowned. "I’ll go see what’s happening."

"Okay." Ye Yuning nodded.

It sounded like people were arguing outside, and she thought she could even hear Tang Xi’s voice!

Xiao Linye had just stood up when there was a knock on the lounge door. Kang Xuan’s voice came from outside, "Sir, Young Master Qin and Miss Tang are fighting."

Xiao Linye was taken aback.

Ye Yuning was also stunned.

Surely not?

Xiao Linye and Ye Yuning exchanged a look. The next moment, Ye Yuning tried to get up but was stopped by Xiao Linye. "Stay put."

"But... her—!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"I’ll handle it."

Her body was already in poor condition, and Xiao Linye didn’t want her going out and getting agitated now. That Qin Jinchuan was really something else! He had always been composed, but his reactions concerning Ye Yuning had already been unexpected. And now, fighting with Tang Xi? That was truly unexpected.

Xiao Linye got up and headed out.

Soon, Chen Wei came in.

Ye Yuning looked at her. "What happened outside?"

Chen Wei replied, "It was Young Master Qin running his mouth!"

"Oh?"

"He said that Miss Tang doesn’t even know who the father of her child is."

Hearing this, Ye Yuning’s lips twitched involuntarily. No way! Qin Jinchuan actually said something like that? What possessed him to say such a thing?
