Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 698

Xiao Linye and Qin Jinchuan had both left.

Tang Xi did not get into Qin Jinchuan’s or Xiao Linye’s car again; instead, she left on her own.

As soon as she got into the car, she called Xia Andai and relayed the situation at the airport.

When Xia Andai heard that Ye Yuning had really returned with Xiao Linye, her breathing grew heavy. "She really came back with Xiao Linye?" It went without saying what a mess Upper City had become by then. For Ye Yuning to actually return with Xiao Linye at a time like this... I really don’t know what she’s thinking!

Tang Xi explained, "The issues surrounding her this time are quite complex. She had no choice but to return."

"No choice? Did Xiao Linye threaten her?" Xia Andai snorted coldly.

"No!" Tang Xi exclaimed. If Xiao Linye had truly been the one threatening Ye Yuning, given her temperament, she definitely wouldn’t have complied. This time, the situation was clearly far from simple. This was especially true considering Qin Jinchuan’s attitude. He had previously been very firm about preventing Ye Yuning from getting involved with Upper City again. Yet, he had suddenly undergone such a change of heart. Moreover, I could tell that Qin Jinchuan had clearly been interested in Ye Yuning before. And then on the plane, he actually...

"Qi Mulan really showed a marriage certificate? Is that document real?" Xia Andai voiced her doubts. Xiao Linye wasn’t likely to get a marriage certificate with Qi Mulan, was he?

"Could it be fake?" Tang Xi wondered aloud.

"You’re still very naive, aren’t you?" Xia Andai said to her, displeased.

Tang Xi was momentarily speechless. Fake... a fake? Come to think of it, it seemed none of them had considered that possibility.

"Getting a marriage certificate isn’t that easy," Xia Andai continued. "Xiao Linye hasn’t been in Upper City recently, has he?"

"It might be difficult for others, but for the Xiao Family and the Qi Family, it shouldn’t be that hard, right?"

"Even so, it depends on who it is. For Xiao Linye’s marriage certificate, if he wasn’t personally present, would anyone dare to issue it so recklessly?"

Tang Xi fell silent for a moment. That makes sense! For example, if Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye were getting married and Ye Yuning wasn’t present, it might be relatively easy to issue the certificate. But if Ye Yuning herself tried to obtain a marriage certificate for her and Xiao Linye without his presence, no one would dare to issue it so casually, right? Could it be that the Xiao patriarch personally went? Considering Xiao Linye’s reaction earlier, the marriage certificate didn’t seem fake.

Xia Andai’s breathing grew heavy again. She currently had no interest whatsoever in whether the marriage certificate was genuine or not.

But Ye Yuning... that idiot! she fumed internally. If, after everything that has happened, she still ends up with Xiao Linye so easily, that would be utterly ridiculous.

Tang Xi said, "She must have encountered some trouble. From what I saw in Turanxi, she didn’t want to come back." But later, not only did Xiao Linye insist on her returning, but Qin Jinchuan also adopted the same stance. In such a situation... sigh, it was all too complicated.

While Tang Xi was relaying the situation to Xia Andai, Gui Xingli and Ling Yan were also bound to find out very quickly.

Meanwhile, after Xiao Linye got Ye Yuning into the car, his expression remained grim as he made a series of phone calls. He was currently on the phone with the Xiao family patriarch. He had just learned that the Xiao patriarch had personally accompanied Qi Mulan to register the marriage.

At that moment, a chilling aura emanated from him. "Fine," he bit out, "you can enjoy that woman yourself then." At that instant, Xiao Linye completely lost his composure.

Hearing this, the Xiao patriarch on the other end of the line instantly exploded with rage. "You little bastard! What nonsense are you spouting?" The Xiao patriarch was so angry his head throbbed.

"If that marriage certificate isn’t invalidated by tomorrow," Xiao Linye retorted, "the consequences will be more than you can bear."

"You... what do you think you’re doing? How dare you threaten me, your own father?" The Xiao patriarch was utterly infuriated. He had never imagined that one day he would be threatened by his own son. "Let me tell you, I will not approve of you being with that woman! Even if you don’t end up with Mulan, it will absolutely not be her!"

"You don’t need to concern yourself with this," Xiao Linye stated, his tone at that moment unprecedentedly firm. "As for the marriage certificate, will you deal with it, or shall I?"

Hearing the undisguised threat in his words, the Xiao patriarch’s breathing grew ragged. "You’re insane! You’ve truly gone insane!" This little rascal... He had sensed long ago that his feelings for that woman were anything but simple. Indeed, his intuition had been correct. Now, he had truly lost his mind.

Xiao Linye’s breathing deepened. "In that case," he said coldly, "I’ll handle it myself."

After speaking, Xiao Linye simply hung up the phone.

Ye Yuning, in his embrace, had been quietly listening all along. When they were together before, she had rarely, if ever, seen Xiao Linye this assertive. Now, she was witnessing it firsthand.

Xiao Linye looked down. Even in the dim light of the car, he could see how pale Ye Yuning’s face was. He gently caressed her cheek and murmured, "Scared?"

Ye Yuning looked up, meeting Xiao Linye’s now-gentle gaze. At that moment, he was like a completely different person from the man on the phone just moments ago.
