Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her

Chapter 488

Ye Yuning snorted coldly. "As long as you don’t cause me to suffer a loss, no one else can easily make me suffer one!"The biggest loss she had ever suffered in her life was at the hands of Ling Yan.

This woman was born into privilege, with wealth and beauty! If she wanted someone to suffer a loss because of her, they simply couldn’t escape.

Seeing her puffing with anger, Ling Yan didn’t tease her any further.

Before leaving, she said to Ye Yuning, "If anything comes up, call me. Don’t just try to tough it out."

What did she mean by ’if anything comes up, call me’?

Her words made it sound as though she had never been the one causing trouble for her, but had instead always been protecting her.

But anyone who had personally witnessed the conflicts between them knew this couldn’t possibly be true.

Ling Yan left!

When Ye Yuning was the only one left in the office, she was so angry she felt like smashing a wall!

Chen Wei was back!

She had rushed to the studio straight after getting off the plane.

"Boss, I’ve taken care of everything in Luozhou," Chen Wei told her.

Ye Yuning nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."

"It was no trouble at all! But why do you look so pale? Are you not feeling well?"

This was already the third person today to ask if she wasn’t feeling well. Could her complexion really be that bad?

She shook her head. "It’s nothing, I just got my period. Please arrange for the designers to have a meeting in the conference room."

Preparations for the new subsidiaries were already in full swing, and the studio was about to become insanely busy. The entire existing work system now needed a complete overhaul.

Seeing her say this, Chen Wei was still somewhat worried. "Are you really sure you’re okay!?"

After all, having been by Ye Yuning’s side for so long, Chen Wei knew Ye Yuning had never been like this before.

Even if it was her period, it wasn’t as if she hadn’t had it before.

Painful as it might be, it had never been so severe as to make her complexion change so drastically!

"I’m really fine," Ye Yuning waved her hand. "Hurry up and make the arrangements."

"Alright then."

Since she insisted, Chen Wei didn’t press further, nodded, and turned to leave.

The studio’s designers were quickly assembled.

Designers for the new subsidiaries being established in North City, South City, and Luozhou had already departed. Meanwhile, the HR department, headed by Wang Jin, was actively recruiting local designers.

But since the subsidiaries were launching first, a good number of people from headquarters were naturally needed to provide support.

Directly stating they were being transferred might have met with resistance, so Ye Yuning simply designated it as a business trip.

As the meeting progressed, the pain in her stomach intensified.

She endured it until the meeting concluded. By then, it was already time to leave work.

Chen Wei and some of the designers were about to go on business trips again; Chen Wei was heading to South City to provide support.

When Ye Yuning returned to her office, her forehead was beaded with fine sweat, and her complexion was exceedingly pale.

The moment she sat down, she felt as if all strength had drained from her body!

Finally, clutching her stomach, she called the front desk.

It was after hours, and Luo Xin had gone out for dinner, so the call didn’t connect. Left with no choice, Ye Yuning then tried calling Xiao Linye.

However, as ill luck would have it, the automated message on the other end stated, "Hello, the number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later."

Ye Yuning gasped sharply, the pain making her draw a ragged breath.

Her intuition told her this wasn’t just menstrual cramps; her period had never been this agonizingly painful before.

Finally, forcing herself to endure the pain, she managed to dial the Xiao’s business department.

Although it was after business hours, Xiao’s usually had someone on duty in each department during the day.

The call was answered promptly: "Hello, this is the Xiao’s business department. May I ask who you’re looking for?"

"Please... please help me find your Manager Xiao," Ye Yuning said, her voice strained from the effort of speaking through the pain.

At this moment, the pain felt like a vise tightening around her heart.

She desperately wanted to go to the hospital now!

If the pain hadn’t been so unbearable, she would never have called Xiao Linye at a time like this.

However, a puzzled voice came from the other end. "Which Manager Xiao?"

"Just... just..."

"I’m sorry, our business department’s manager is surnamed Bai. Have you perhaps dialed the wrong department?"

Ye Yuning was speechless. The business department’s manager... has the surname Bai?

Then what exactly was her husband doing in the business department?

"Then get me your vice-manager!" Ye Yuning managed, her mind going blank from the pain.

"The vice-manager’s surname is Chen! The director’s surname is Wang."

The person on the other end then listed all the managerial surnames in their department for Ye Yuning.

Surnames Bai, Chen, and Wang, but no Xiao?! What on earth was going on? Ye Yuning’s head was buzzing; she was in too much pain to think clearly.

"Miss? Miss?"

"I... I might have dialed the wrong number."

Ye Yuning hastily hung up.

Xiao Linye worked in the Xiao’s business department; she was sure of it. She herself had worked at Xiao’s before, and they even used to commute together.

Thinking she must have dialed incorrectly, Ye Yuning carefully checked the number for the Xiao’s business department on her computer again and redialed.

This time, Lai Shuo’s voice came through the line, "Hello, this is the Xiao’s business department. May I ask who you’re looking for?"

Hearing Lai Shuo’s voice confirmed she had dialed the correct number this time.

Just as she was about to speak, a sharp, intense pain flared in her lower abdomen, rendering her speechless.

"Hello? Hello? Who are you looking for?" Lai Shuo’s tone carried a hint of impatience, as he could clearly hear breathing on the other end of the call.

Ye Yuning took several deep breaths, her hand clutching her stomach tightly. "Please... help me find Manager Xiao!"

"Which Manager Xiao? We don’t have a Manager Xiao here."

No... no Manager Xiao?

What does that mean? What do they mean there’s no Manager Xiao?

A sharp buzz went through Ye Yuning’s mind.
