Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 783

But Sister Chen wasn’t really at fault.

Though she was one of Xiao Linye’s people, her care for Ye Yuning during this period had been wholehearted.

Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow at her, and Sister Chen immediately said, "Sir went upstairs; he’s not very happy."

Ye Yuning asked, "He cooked tonight?"

"Yes, but he didn’t take a single bite. He’s been waiting for you."

Ye Yuning was speechless.

Just because she didn’t return for dinner, he got upset?

When she had her miscarriage and was confined for a month, he spent that entire month by Qi Mulan’s side.

Now he was upset over a single meal? It served him right!

Ye Yuning went upstairs, but instead of returning to her room, she went straight to the study.

Lately, the investment line Kang Xuan was pursuing required her to personally review and design many things.

In his room, Xiao Linye had already showered and was sitting on the bed, reading.

Hearing footsteps outside, his expression immediately hardened.

Clearly, he was unhappy that Ye Yuning hadn’t returned.

Later, he found out she had dined with Qin Jinchuan. He was about to go and drag her back when he received news that she was already on her way.

Just as he was wondering how to vent his anger from that evening...

The sound of footsteps passed his door and receded into the distance!

Now, one could imagine Xiao Linye’s face; it had turned completely black.

She’s got some nerve!

Ye Yuning was truly swamped.

Once in the study, she immediately began reviewing the proposals, too preoccupied to concern herself with Xiao Linye’s business at Xiangti.

During the day, they had discussed establishing several scenic spots at the workshop, only to discover better options.

She immediately started a video conference!

This video conference lasted a full two hours.

By the time everything was done, it was already midnight!

Exiting the study, she instinctively glanced towards the master bedroom but ultimately turned towards the guest room.

She was exhausted from the long day.

After a bath, she fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.

Xiao Linye waited and waited, his anger simmering. He had been holding back his temper all evening, and now he truly couldn’t stand it anymore.

He stormed towards the study, fuming.

But... the study was pitch dark, with no sign of Ye Yuning.

He turned and headed upstairs.

By now, Sister Chen had already finished her work and was resting. However, when she got up for a drink of water, she saw Xiao Linye descending the stairs, his face grim.

She quickly greeted him respectfully, "Sir."

"She went out again?"

"Madam, you mean? I don’t think so. I didn’t hear anything just now."

Sister Chen’s room was downstairs.

She hadn’t heard any door open or close.

Xiao Linye’s expression softened slightly. Good, as long as she hadn’t gone out. If she had, he wouldn’t have let her off easy!

Eventually, he found her in the upstairs guest room.

By then, Ye Yuning was already fast asleep.

Under the moonlight, her small face looked particularly tranquil.

Xiao Linye silently heaved a sigh of relief, then climbed into bed and lay down beside Ye Yuning.

Drawing her into his embrace, inhaling the sweet scent from her neck, Xiao Linye felt an unprecedented sense of contentment.

How wonderful it would be if they could always be like this.

「The next morning.」

When Ye Yuning woke up, Xiao Linye was gone. She hadn’t even realized he’d been in the room.

She must have been incredibly tired to fall asleep the moment her head hit the pillow, not even dreaming.

After freshening up, she went downstairs.

Xiao Linye was sitting in the dining room. Ye Yuning’s heart clenched as she recalled the two messages he’d sent her yesterday.

Seeing her, Sister Chen respectfully called out, "Madam."

Ye Yuning nodded and glanced at her watch. "I’m running late, I have to go."

Sister Chen was dishing out porridge for her. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Hearing she was leaving, Sister Chen paused, startled. "Ah, Madam, aren’t you having breakfast?"

But before Sister Chen could finish, Ye Yuning was already at the door.

Xiao Linye had been seething with suppressed anger. Now, seeing Ye Yuning completely ignore him—even to the point of skipping breakfast because he was there—his face darkened considerably.

Sister Chen instinctively glanced at Xiao Linye’s thunderous expression, feeling apprehensive.

Just as Ye Yuning was about to put on her shoes, Xiao Linye said through gritted teeth, "I suggest you come over here. Right now."

His voice was very low, but anyone not a fool could sense the menacing threat in his tone.

Terrified, Sister Chen quickly retreated to the kitchen to hide.

However, Ye Yuning paid no mind to Xiao Linye’s menacing aura; she simply put on her shoes and left.

Throughout this entire exchange, not a single superfluous word passed between them!

She had made her position perfectly clear by now.

Xiao Linye owed her!

And he owed her a great deal...

He could give her anything because of what he owed, but if he thought he could control her...

Sorry, she wasn’t buying that!
