Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her

Chapter 479

Upon hearing this, Xiao Linye’s breathing instantly grew heavy.Ask my own wife in the middle of the night what time her boss’s flight is? How am I supposed to ask? Wake her up to ask?

"You..." Xiao Linye lowered his voice, his tone clearly showing he was quite irritated by Qin Jinchuan on the other end of the phone.

He now felt that Qin Jinchuan wasn’t entirely wronged for the setbacks he suffered at that woman’s hands. With such abysmal emotional intelligence, even he found it concerning! No wonder he’d angered her so much...

Qin Jinchuan, on the other end of the line, didn’t sense anything wrong, nor did he pick up on the dissatisfaction in Xiao Linye’s tone.

Seeing Xiao Linye didn’t answer, he even urged, "Hurry up and ask! I’m still waiting."

Xiao Linye was so angry he hung up the phone directly and then quickly turned it off.

「At the airport.」

Qin Jinchuan was waiting at the airport entrance. Late autumn was verging on harsh winter, and the air at the exit was frigid.

After checking his watch several times, an annoyed Qin Jinchuan kicked over a retractable belt barrier.

"This damn woman..."

The crowd waiting for arrivals was startled by the commotion and cast curious glances at Qin Jinchuan.

Ji Nan saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to set the barrier upright again.

Then he whispered to Qin Jinchuan, "Young Master, this is a public place. You must restrain yourself!"

In this age of rampant social media, even the smallest incident could be blown out of proportion online. Although Qin Jinchuan could easily suppress such things, it was still not good. Especially since many within the Qin Family were currently dissatisfied with his control over the entire family, this was no time for any mishaps!

Qin Jinchuan, his face etched with irritation, said, "Go check if that damn woman even flew back tonight."

Ji Nan nodded. "Alright." He quickly turned to investigate.

Qin Jinchuan was currently seething with anger towards Ye Yuning. The thought of the substantial loss he had suffered this time made him wish he could see her immediately and strangle her!

How could she be so capable? At this moment, the most severe punishment Qin Jinchuan could think of for her was to marry her and then lock her up! She thinks she’s so capable, does she? He’d make sure she never touched work again for the rest of her life. Let’s see what her capabilities could do for her then!

He glanced at his watch again; it was already 3:20 AM.

Even if she had to collect her luggage, she should have come out by now, shouldn’t she?

Qin Jinchuan had a sinking feeling he might have been tricked!

Ji Nan returned quickly, his expression grave.

Seeing Ji Nan’s face, Qin Jinchuan felt his suspicions solidify, but he still asked, "What is it?"

Ji Nan reported, "Miss Ye’s name isn’t on the passenger list for any of the flights that arrived tonight."

So, she didn’t even come back tonight? Then why did Xiao Linye’s wife say it was two in the morning? Were they deliberately messing with him?

Qin Jinchuan was now absolutely certain he’d been played!

Ji Nan asked tentatively, "Shall we... head back then?"

"Go back? Or what, stay here and put on a show for whom?" Qin Jinchuan snapped.

Ji Nan remained silent.

He had a feeling Miss Ye was truly done for this time! A mere adopted daughter of the Ye Family, daring to toy with *him* like this? She really had a death wish! Ji Nan no longer knew what to make of her! It just felt like she was so incredibly reckless, completely out of her depth...

「That night」

Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye both slept exceptionally well. Although Xiao Linye was woken up at one point, he quickly fell back asleep holding Ye Yuning.

Qin Jinchuan probably never imagined that in the near future, he and Xiao Linye would become the joke of the century...

「The next morning」

The Aunty had arrived, prepared breakfast, and even warmed Ye Yuning’s medicine.

"It was too late last night, so starting today, the medicine needs to be taken before meals," the Aunty said softly to Ye Yuning.

Ye Yuning had heard that taking traditional Chinese medicine before meals was most effective. But the thought of starting the day with a bowl of medicine made her feel her stomach might not be able to handle it.

Noticing her hesitation, the Aunty smiled and handed her a cup of honey water.

"Moisten your throat first, get a little sweetness in your mouth."

"Thank you."

Ye Yuning took a sip. "It’s sweet!"

This tastes really good.

The Aunty nodded. "I brought some black locust honey when I came this morning."

"Honey?"

"Yes."

"Doesn’t all honey taste the same? This has the fragrance of flowers?" Ye Yuning was astonished.

She had always thought honey was just one thing: sweet!

The Aunty chuckled. "The taste of honey varies with the blooming season of the flowers. I bought this from a beekeeper in the mountains."

"Oh, I see."

Ye Yuning tasted it again; it truly did have the fragrance of black locust flowers.

When she was little and lived in the countryside with Zheng Cai’s mother, she was very familiar with the scent of black locust flowers.

But back then, her mind was entirely consumed by her studies, so she had overlooked many things around her. She had seen beekeepers before! But she never knew that honey could actually have so many different flavors.

When Xiao Linye emerged, he saw Ye Yuning smiling contentedly.

"Not afraid of taking your medicine anymore?"

"Aunty brought some black locust honey. It tastes amazing. Here, try some," Ye Yuning offered, holding out the cup.

Xiao Linye sometimes used honey when he made toast.

But that honey was just sweet, nothing more! This one tastes truly different...

Xiao Linye tasted it and nodded. "Mm, it’s quite good. Thank you."

"You’re too kind, sir. I knew Madam would be drinking Chinese medicine for the next few days and her mouth might taste bland, so I brought some along," the Aunty replied.

Xiao Linye nodded.

With the water sweetened by the black locust honey, Ye Yuning’s mouth indeed felt less bitter, and she wasn’t as resistant to drinking her Chinese medicine.

After downing the bowl of medicine, Ye Yuning, for some reason, felt a pang of guilt.

I’m just trying to get my body back in order. Why do I feel guilty?

Seeing her little face cloud over again, Xiao Linye gently rubbed the top of her head and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I always feel something is not right."

The feeling is very strong.

Xiao Linye asked, "What feels wrong?"

"I don’t know, I can’t remember!"

The feeling is intense, but I just can’t put my finger on it...
