Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her

Chapter 468

Xiao Linye asked, "Then what’s wrong with you?"He wanted her to be perfectly healthy; he wouldn’t allow any harm to come to her while she was by his side. After all, he already owed another person too much! He didn’t want to fail in caring for the only relative he had left in this world.

Ye Yuning muttered, "I feel like the studio has been too busy recently. The boss has had a lot on her plate, which has put a lot of pressure on me too. My hormones are all out of whack, and my period still hasn’t come!"

"Ugh, it’s all because of your Seventh Master," she continued. "He’s a grown man, why is he always making trouble for our boss for no reason!"

Ye Yuning grew more convinced that it was all because Seventh Master Xiao was putting too much pressure on her. Before this, her period had always been very punctual; she didn’t even need to keep track of it. And now...! Barely a few months after Seventh Master Xiao returned to Upper City, the stress had completely messed up her hormones.

Xiao Linye saw her blaming him again, and his initial concern instantly vanished. "What does this have to do with Seventh Master?" he asked. He was troubling her boss, not her! Besides, her boss really did have it coming...

"How can it not be related?" Ye Yuning retorted. "When our boss is under a lot of pressure, our workflow is affected too, you know."

Xiao Linye was speechless. Was that really a thing? He genuinely had no idea.

Ye Yuning sighed in exasperation. "Oh, I can’t explain it to you. Your Seventh Master is just so annoying."

Although she knew Xiao Linye was very protective of Seventh Master Xiao, Ye Yuning couldn’t help but complain at that moment. Joining hands with Young Master Qin to deal with her boss, is that something a real man would do? He’s not a man at all! she thought.

Xiao Linye remained silent. Because of that woman, was his image in this young woman’s eyes now impossible to change?

Ye Yuning continued to voice her complaints about Seventh Master Xiao. Meanwhile, Xiao Linye also felt quite dissatisfied with the Manlang boss, whom he had never met.

Both parties were dissatisfied.

They packed up and headed for the airport. Due to time constraints, they could only grab a bite there.

「In the car.」

Xiao Linye asked Ye Yuning, "How did your boss find it in her heart to let you leave early?"

This was the same boss who would send an injured employee on a business trip, yet now she was letting Ye Yuning leave early. It was as if the sun had risen in the west.

"Because she knew you were here and was worried you’d get bored waiting for me," Ye Yuning replied.

"She’s capable of such kindness?" Xiao Linye questioned.

Ye Yuning nodded. "She also looks out for her married employees. Our boss is kind, isn’t she?"

Xiao Linye was silent. Looked at that way, she does seem to have some conscience. But that mouth of hers is sometimes just asking for it! Never mind, this incident should serve as a lesson for her. As long as she isn’t so arrogant in the future, he wouldn’t deign to target a mere woman.

Glancing at the fluffy little head beside him, Xiao Linye couldn’t resist pulling Ye Yuning into his arms.

He spoke softly, "So, your boss must be in a tight spot now, right? Has she turned to Young Master Qin for help?"

It would have been better not to mention Young Master Qin. Just thinking about him made Ye Yuning feel unwell. Xiao Linye had previously said that Young Master Qin targeted her boss because he liked her boss! Ye Yuning truly didn’t know what to make of that. Could someone really use such twisted methods to show they liked a person? She found it hard to believe this was ’liking’.

"Previously, when you said Young Master Qin likes our boss, were you serious?" Ye Yuning asked.

"Of course. He said it himself!" Xiao Linye nodded.

"Are you sure he wasn’t joking?" Ye Yuning pressed. "Who shows they like someone by tormenting them to the brink?"

She knew some people had extreme ways of pursuing someone. But surely not by tormenting them to the point of ruin! Wouldn’t that be counterproductive? Ye Yuning found it hard to believe.

"He just wants your boss to yield a little," Xiao Linye explained. "That would be a reasonable start for him."

A reasonable... start? What kind of reasoning was that? Ye Yuning wondered.

Seeing her confused expression, Xiao Linye chuckled. "Their initial interactions were very awkward. Now, he needs your boss to give him an out, a way to save face."

So Qin Jinchuan also knew how awkward their previous conflict had been! Ye Yuning was utterly speechless.

"Then what if our boss doesn’t give him that out?" she asked.

It wasn’t that her boss didn’t want to give it; she simply couldn’t. Her boss was married now. Knowing Qin Jinchuan’s feelings for her, she definitely couldn’t reciprocate. It was a good thing Xiao Linye had told her. To be honest, her boss had actually considered yielding before. But now that she knew his motives... well, that was a concession her boss definitely couldn’t make!

Xiao Linye glanced at her. "In that case, Qin Jinchuan won’t let it go easily. Your boss will have a very hard time."

Ye Yuning fell silent.

He wouldn’t let it go easily? So, if things didn’t go the way Qin Jinchuan wanted, this wouldn’t be over? What on earth... was this all about!

Ye Yuning was genuinely upset now.

Seeing her expression fall, Xiao Linye couldn’t help but gently rub her head. "Unhappy?"

He knew she was protective of her boss, but he hadn’t expected her to be *this* protective!

Ye Yuning huffed, "How can I be happy? This is completely unreasonable!"

Xiao Linye was silent again. Viewed this way, it did seem very unreasonable. But there was nothing to be done. Sometimes, the world was just like that; the strong held absolute say.
