Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her

Chapter 420

However, throughout her marriage with Xiao Linye, he seemed to have never given her any instructions regarding financial matters. He seemed completely unconcerned, as if he could afford anything she spent."I didn’t need it anyway. I mostly eat at home, and you often take me out for lunch, so I haven’t really used the last two months’ salary."

In the past, her monthly expenses flowed like water, never less than twenty thousand. Sometimes, when having lunch in the office, she would treat everyone.

Now, things had changed. Xiao Linye would come and pick her up when it was time, so the office staff hadn’t tasted the takeout she treated them to for a long time.

"Ooh, gentle, be gentler!"

The medicinal wine being rubbed on her ankle made Ye Yuning instinctively shrink back in pain.

Xiao Linye asked, "Why did the hospital prescribe you medicinal wine?"

"They said it would work quickly."

Ye Yuning felt like crying from the pain. Xiao Linye rubbed her ankle for a while, but she couldn’t bear it and wouldn’t let him touch it anymore.

Left with no choice, Xiao Linye had to get up and wash his hands.

After coming out of the bathroom, he asked her, "Have you asked for leave from the studio?"

"Not yet. It’s busy at work recently, so it’s not a good time to ask for leave!"

Knowing that Xiao Linye was worried about her injury, she added, "Don’t worry, I just sit there at work. I won’t run around."

Xiao Linye nodded. "If it’s too much, then take leave. I don’t need you to work, you know."

Ye Yuning was taken aback. A housewife? I definitely couldn’t do that!

Xiao Linye looked at her stiff expression and rubbed her silky hair. "A big bowl of noodles?"

"Mm, I want three fried eggs," Ye Yuning said.

She was truly starving! Normally, she ate on time, but today, because of what Qin Jinchuan had done, her mealtime was entirely delayed. The takeout she ordered later also had small portions and wasn’t filling at all.

Thinking about that scoundrel Qin Jinchuan made her seethe!

Xiao Linye went to cook. Ye Yuning, who usually would have joined him in the kitchen, definitely couldn’t today. Her ankle was hurting too much.

Watching Xiao Linye enter the kitchen, she took out her phone and scrolled through various cooking videos on Xiaohongshu. She used to not want to learn, thinking cooking was troublesome!

But now, she felt it wasn’t troublesome at all!

Now, seeing all these delicious dishes, she was just waiting for a chance to practice making them herself.

When Xiao Linye came out, he heard a rapid-fire commentary about various dishes coming from her phone.

"What video are you watching?"

"Learning to cook!" Ye Yuning answered earnestly.

Xiao Linye placed the noodles on the dining table, then came over to carry her. A video of spicy dry pot shrimp was playing on Ye Yuning’s phone. Xiao Linye’s lips curved into a smile as he asked, "Want to eat this?"

He was always so gentle and patient.

Ye Yuning tilted her head back, her soft lips grazing his jawline, and both of them stiffened. Feeling the coolness of his skin, Ye Yuning’s cheeks flushed instantly. Xiao Linye also felt his composure nearly crumble at the softness of her lips.

"I, uh..." What was I saying? Ye Yuning had completely forgotten.

Xiao Linye lowered his head and kissed her gently.

Ye Yuning’s mind buzzed, her grip tightening around her phone. She and Xiao Linye had been intimate more than once, but it was always in the bedroom, and with the lights turned off. Now, under the bright lights, the sensations of their breath and warmth felt starkly exposed, as if laid bare in broad daylight.

"Mmm!" Ye Yuning moaned softly, reaching out to push Xiao Linye away.

Xiao Linye swiftly caught her hand, his kiss deepening. Ye Yuning’s breath hitched. Initially uncomfortable under the bright lights, she soon forgot her unease as Xiao Linye drew her into its passionate depths. They were like a couple in the throes of passion; once they touched, they couldn’t stop.

An hour later, Xiao Linye emerged from the bathroom looking satisfied, carrying Ye Yuning, who was wrapped in a large bath towel. Her misty eyes were full of resentment.

"I’m hungry!"

Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow. "Still hungry?"

Ye Yuning fumed internally. Why is he so wicked? How had I never noticed this before?

Xiao Linye laughed!

"Alright, alright, time to eat," he said, carrying her toward the dining room.

Ye Yuning was about to cry. "Put some clothes on me first!"

Wrapped only in this, the towel will surely fall off while I eat. This man must be doing it on purpose! Indeed, men truly had some unfathomable desires hidden deep within them.

Xiao Linye pinched her cheek, looked at her flushed face, and decided not to tease her further.

After she put on her pajamas, he had intended to dry her hair. But seeing her hungry and impatient look, it was obvious she couldn’t wait.

The noodles had gone cold and clumpy, but Ye Yuning still ate with gusto; she was clearly famished.

"Ah, finally feeling better."

After a big bowl of noodles, Ye Yuning’s stomach felt much better.

Xiao Linye asked, "Full now?"

Ye Yuning nodded. "Yes, full!"

It was impossible not to be full after such a large bowl of noodles, yet she had still eaten three fried eggs. When you’re truly hungry, worrying about overeating is just nonsense!

After they finished eating, Xiao Linye took all the dishes into the kitchen, planning to have the housekeeper come early the next day to clean up.

Ye Yuning, having dried her hair, went back to lie down in the bedroom. After the day’s ordeal, she was utterly exhausted.

Xiao Linye, meanwhile, recalled that the owner of Manlang was beginning to suspect something and thought it best to give Qin Jinchuan a call. He then headed straight to the study.

On the other end of the phone, Qin Jinchuan, hearing that the Ye Family’s adopted daughter was convinced he was the one who had robbed and stolen from her, didn’t care in the least.

All he did was chuckle and say, "So what if she knows? What can she do to me?"

Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow. "I’m warning you, she’ll retaliate. You’d better not make any more moves against her."

He’d never truly understood the saying ’a cornered rabbit will bite’ before. That adopted daughter of the Ye family had shown him just what it looked like when a cornered rabbit fights back. Remembering how that woman had beaten Xiao Shuo, Xiao Linye couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy for Qin Jinchuan for provoking such a woman.

At that moment, Qin Jinchuan, hearing what Xiao Linye said, muttered, "Too late. I’ve already made my move!"
