Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her

Chapter 456

They flew for two and a half hours to Luozhou.When she got off the plane after a nap, Ye Yuning’s complexion had improved significantly, and the pain in her lower abdomen had also disappeared.

Gui Xingli, knowing she was coming to Luozhou, had invited her for a late-night snack that evening.

By the time Ye Yuning arrived, Gui Xingli was already waiting outside.

Seeing her, Gui Xingli instinctively took her hand.

The moment she felt Ye Yuning’s cold skin, Gui Xingli asked, "Why are you so cold? Didn’t you think to wear more?"

"It was a rushed business trip," Ye Yuning said.

The weather was starting to cool down.

Moreover, when she had gone to the studio earlier, she had been receiving calls from both South City and North City.

Originally, she had wanted Lei An and Ma Di to go on the business trip, but on the way to the studio, she received several more calls from Luozhou.

Gui Xingli said, "Why has Xiao Corp suddenly gone crazy this time?"

"Who knows. They’ve always been erratic over there."

When discussing Xiao Corp, Ye Yuning’s expression naturally soured; in her view, everyone at Xiao Corp was unstable.

Not just Xiao Linye, but his special assistants as well, especially the previous one, Lai Shuo.

Seeing Ye Yuning acting nonchalant, Gui Xingli thought she was just putting on a brave face.

She gripped her hand a little tighter. "Do you want me to introduce you to more project partners here?"

Hearing her offer, Ye Yuning was touched. Actually, even before this, she had already lined up a major project for herself.

Now, if she were to ask, she reckoned she could easily be overwhelmed with orders from Luozhou.

Shaking her head, Ye Yuning replied, "No need. The business in Upper City has already expanded outward, and the studio’s schedule is completely full."

"Full?"

Gui Xingli looked at her in shock. Just today, major companies in Upper City had proposed terminating their contracts, and now Ye Yuning was saying her schedule was already full?!

"Don’t push yourself too hard. Let me know if you need anything here."

"Really, there’s no need. My two lead designers have already gone to South City and North City. The studio has suddenly opened up to business outside Duishang City, so I’m actually in a rush to hire more designers now. If you have any contacts in that field, perhaps you could introduce some to me?"

"Oh!" Gui Xingli exclaimed. They’re hiring designers?

At that moment, Gui Xingli found it hard to believe what Ye Yuning was saying.

So, Xiao Corp’s sudden, frenzied attack on her, all that elaborate effort, had ultimately amounted to nothing?

"For real?" Gui Xingli asked, somewhat disbelievingly.

"Really," Ye Yuning confirmed. "Do you know any good designers? I’m in urgent need right now!"

She really *was* in urgent need...

Since Ye Yuning had put it that way, Gui Xingli naturally had to believe her.

But regarding designers, she truly didn’t know anyone.

"I really don’t know anyone in that field. But if you want, I can help you look?"

"No need to go out of your way. I’ve instructed them to be mindful of the workload when they negotiate; we won’t take on more than we can handle."

Gui Xingli was speechless. They’re even turning down excess work!

Knowing that Ye Yuning was being targeted, she had been worried it would leave the girl in tears.

Now, she was very curious to know what Xiao Linye’s reaction would be. He must have thought his ferocious tactics would completely crush such a small studio, but now...

"The food at this restaurant is quite tasty," Ye Yuning commented.

Gui Xingli had just said, "The usual," indicating she was a regular customer.

And as Ye Yuning commented on how good the food tasted, Gui Xingli’s pupils contracted uncontrollably for a moment.

"You think it tastes good too?"

"Yeah, not bad. It’s cooked very well!"

This was Chinese cuisine.

Ye Yuning generally didn’t care for this type of food, usually finding it rather bland.

But today, it really was good.

A bitter smile touched Gui Xingli’s lips, her voice deep with meaning. "It turns out we do have something in common after all."

Hearing this, Ye Yuning asked, puzzled, "What commonality?"

"It’s nothing. Let’s eat. Try this pork liver." It was his favorite...!

She personally placed some into Ye Yuning’s bowl.

Ye Yuning tasted it. "Mm, delicious."

With dishes like pork liver, if not prepared properly, they could have a strong gamey taste.

But this pork liver was exceptionally well made.

Hearing her praise it as delicious, the bitterness in Gui Xingli’s eyes deepened.

"If you like it, eat more."

"You eat too."

"Mm," Gui Xingli nodded.

This Chinese restaurant was truly excellent. It was a shame it was located in Luozhou. If it were in Upper City, it would undoubtedly be another place Ye Yuning frequented.

Gui Xingli’s appetite today was much better than when she was in Upper City.

Ye Yuning also enjoyed the food and ate a considerable amount.

Seeing her eat so much, Gui Xingli smiled. "If you like it, come to Luozhou anytime."

"With so many partners now outside of Upper City, business trips are unavoidable. I’ll be coming to Luozhou often."

Mentioning this, Ye Yuning also felt a bit resigned.

She wasn’t someone who particularly enjoyed business trips, especially frequent ones.

That was why most of her collaborations had been within Upper City.

But now... this whole situation was just exhausting.
