Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her

Chapter 413

At the hospital.When Xiao Linye returned to the ward, he saw that Ye Yuning’s foot was coated with a yellow layer of ointment, and her elbow had also been treated with medicine.

The doctor packed up the medical tray and left.

Ye Yuning looked at him aggrievedly. "Do you think I can get my bag back? There are so many important things inside."

Thinking about this made Ye Yuning even more upset. How could that person today not seem to be just after money?

She had told him to take the valuables and return the rest to her. But the person didn’t listen at all and even fought with her!

When Xiao Linye heard that there were important things in her bag, his heart tightened—a designer’s bag is usually very important.

"How important?"

"Very important. The boss usually lets me keep some initial drafts too. What am I to do now?"

"Just those?"

"Aren’t those important enough?"

"There should be backups on the computer, right?" Xiao Linye said.

Normally, such important drafts are definitely backed up, not just on the computer but also on the cloud.

Ye Yuning nodded. "That’s true, but that’s a lot of organized stuff—USB drives are expensive too."

Speaking of this, Ye Yuning felt a piercing pain. That USB drive had been with her for so many years, and to think it got snatched right at the studio’s entrance—it was simply outrageous. She couldn’t bear to think about it now; it infuriated her whenever she did.

When Xiao Linye heard her comment about the expensive USB drive, his eyelid couldn’t help but twitch. This girl’s focus is always so unique.

「Leaving the hospital.」

Xiao Linye asked her, "Shall I take you directly to Shanyu Pavilion and have the aunt come over to make dinner for you?"

"No need, I’ll go back to the studio. You can come pick me up tonight."

"You’re going to work like this?"

"I have to. There’s an urgent design," Ye Yuning said.

She was actually quite busy that afternoon. That damned thief, if I ever catch him, I’ll definitely make him suffer!

Hearing that she had a design task, Xiao Linye couldn’t help but glance at her again. I hadn’t expected that the boss of Manlang would actually let her start designing. Looking at it that way, that woman seems not so detestable after all. At least she values talent and isn’t the kind of boss who buries it.

Thinking about the things Qin Jinchuan had managed to get away with under her boss’s watch, Xiao Linye asked, seemingly casually, "So, has your boss changed her assistant now?"

His sudden question made Ye Yuning instantly alert! She didn’t know the main purpose of his question and hastily nodded. "Yes, she has, but we’re still in the middle of the handover."

"What’s there to hand over for a menial job?"

"Looking down on menial work again, huh? I might be doing menial tasks, but I’m still the boss’s assistant. There’s definitely something to hand over."

Seeing her tiger-cub-like demeanor, Xiao Linye smiled slightly and gently ruffled her soft hair.

He spoke affectionately, "In the future, prioritize your own safety in such situations, okay?"

"If I had come out just a bit later then, that person definitely wouldn’t have gotten away!" Ye Yuning retorted.

Usually, people were coming and going in front of the building during off-work hours. Today, when she came out, there weren’t many people, and those present were too timid to step forward.

Speaking of timidity, she felt even angrier towards the Xiao Family. How did I end up encountering such idiots!! Even the Xiao Family’s steward just watched as she was robbed, witnessing the entire process.

"Did you hear me?" Seeing her silence, Xiao Linye’s tone grew heavier.

Ye Yuning nodded. "I know, I know."

When they arrived at Manlang, Xiao Linye wanted to escort her upstairs, but she absolutely refused.

"It’s just a sprain, nothing serious."

"Still, be careful. I’ll take you to the elevator."

"Well, alright then...!"

Since Xiao Linye has insisted, if I don’t let him, he might just drag me back to Shanyu Pavilion.

Xiao Linye walked her to the elevator. Just as the doors were about to close, his strong, powerful arm shot out again, causing the doors to spring open.

Ye Yuning’s head throbbed a bit. "What are you doing?"

"Really not letting me walk you up?"

"You came to pick me up from work, and you’ve practically stolen the souls of all the girls in the office. How could I let you go up?" she said with a completely serious face, her attitude making it clear he wasn’t going up. And Ye Yuning wasn’t lying; the girls in the office really had reacted that way! Xiao Linye was too handsome, with a lean, elegant figure, and well over six feet tall—what girl could see him and not be moved?

Seeing her possessive attitude, the smile on Xiao Linye’s lips deepened.

"Stealing souls doesn’t matter; this one already has an owner!"

"Alright, alright, you better go now. Come pick me up tonight."

After all, her sprain was quite severe. Walking was painful now, and she certainly couldn’t ride her little yellow bike back home tonight.

Xiao Linye nodded. "Got it."

After speaking, he withdrew his arm, and the elevator doors sensed no obstruction and closed.

As the doors fully shut and the elevator began its ascent, Ye Yuning finally let out a sigh of relief. If he had really insisted on going up with me, I would have felt quite nervous.

...

When she returned to the office, Chen Wei had already sent the police away and had completed all the statements according to Ye Yuning’s instructions.

Seeing Ye Yuning limping back, Chen Wei quickly went over to help her. "Are you alright?"

Ye Yuning grimaced in pain!

Chen Wei then asked her, "Did you go to the hospital by yourself?" Seeing the bandage on her elbow, it was clear she had been to the hospital.

"My husband took me," Ye Yuning said.

"I see," Chen Wei replied. No wonder she insisted on leaving by herself earlier; it was her husband who came to pick her up.

Chen Wei had always had a fear of marriage, but now, seeing Ye Yuning’s married life, she thought it seemed quite acceptable. No matter how much one’s partner can do, just being there to take you to the hospital when you’re injured is commendable enough.

While Ye Yuning was at the hospital, Chen Wei had already helped her get a new SIM card and set up her phone. The number of the lost phone had already been deactivated.

Ye Yuning sat down. "Did the police say if they can find the person?"

"They pulled up the surveillance footage, but the person was completely covered up; it’s impossible to identify them."

The answer was clear: it would be practically impossible to find the person later on.

Ye Yuning sighed heavily.

Chen Wei, having watched the entire surveillance recording, couldn’t help but worry. "Next time you encounter something like this, please prioritize your own safety." They had even seen a group show up later, brandishing knives; situations like that could easily turn dangerous.

"Yeah," Ye Yuning nodded. At the time, wasn’t I focusing on my own safety? Otherwise, I would have charged at them.

Chen Wei had also seen from the surveillance footage how Ye Yuning, in her anger, had beaten the person up. If it hadn’t been for the culprit’s accomplices, that burly guy probably wouldn’t have stood a chance against her.

Seeing how adept Ye Yuning appeared in the video, Chen Wei couldn’t help asking, "Boss, did you ever learn any martial arts before?"

"No."

"Then how did you beat those people?"

"Does regularly fighting in school count as practical experience?"

Chen Wei was speechless. "...That...!" Frequently, huh? So Boss did extremely well academically in school but had a bad temper and often got into fights?! I’m a bit curious, usually, what stance would schools take regarding such students.
