Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her

Chapter 500

Kang Xuan scratched the back of his head, troubled. The Manlang situation is definitely not good. Before Lai Shuo left, he warned me to be extremely careful when dealing with Manlang’s affairs. The Master’s stance on Manlang has always been so ambiguous!"Why is the Master looking into Manlang again? Is it because of the madam?" Kang Xuan didn’t understand. If Manlang is such a hassle, why not just prevent the madam from working there? If he truly doesn’t want the madam to discover his real identity, with his status and position, couldn’t he easily arrange a comfortable job for her elsewhere? Did she absolutely have to come to Xiao Corporation?

「...」

Ye Yuning returned to her studio, feeling completely drained of strength.

Luo Xin brought her a glass of lukewarm water, and she quickly took her prenatal medication. Her hand subconsciously drifted to her lower abdomen, her mind numb.

BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ. Her phone vibrated. Glancing at the caller ID, she saw it was Tang Xi.

Ye Yuning hurriedly answered, "Xi Xi, I’m really done for!"

"What’s wrong with you..." Tang Xi began. She had originally called Ye Yuning about something important, but Ye Yuning’s words made her stop short.

Ye Yuning said, "Facing him now, I feel such enormous pressure!"

"It would be weirder if you *didn’t* feel pressured," Tang Xi retorted without thinking.

Ye Yuning asked, "What should I do now?"

Everything was a tangled mess; her world had suddenly descended into chaos. She had no idea what to make of the current situation.

"You..." Tang Xi started again.

"Xi Xi, I’m so scared."

Scared!

In all these years, no matter what she faced, Ye Yuning had never uttered the word ’scared.’ But now, she was truly terrified. She clearly realized she had caused a huge disaster this time.

Tang Xi said, "Being scared won’t help. But let me warn you: be wary of Qin Jinchuan. When I was investigating Xiao Linye, I found out he’s also trying to discover who your husband is!"

Ye Yuning was speechless.

Qin Jinchuan!

Things were bad enough, but just mentioning Qin Jinchuan made her feel as if her world was being battered by a violent storm. Thinking about his past actions and the things he had said to her, she knew he wouldn’t let this go easily. If Qin Jinchuan finds out, it’ll be a catastrophe!

Ye Yuning gasped. "Then... there’s nothing I can do to stop it, is there?"

She absolutely couldn’t stop whatever Qin Jinchuan decided to do. He had told her to divorce her current husband, and just because she refused, he was now stirring up all this trouble.

Worry laced Tang Xi’s voice. "So, are you just going to wait until Qin Jinchuan finds him?"

"Xiao Linye is completely unsuspecting right now. It should be very easy for Qin Jinchuan to find out about him!"

The words "very easy" struck a raw nerve with Ye Yuning.

Very easy... That meant Qin Jinchuan could find out about Xiao Linye incredibly quickly! In other words, she might soon face a hellish scenario.

"I... I..." Ye Yuning was so anxious she broke out in a cold sweat, completely at a loss for words.

Tang Xi asked, "You’re pregnant now, does Xiao Linye know?"

"No, I don’t dare tell him!"

Because she suspected Xiao Linye might be hiding something significant from her, she hadn’t told him about this happy news at all.

Tang Xi suggested, "Why don’t you try to sound him out?"

"How would I do that?"

"Just ask what he would think if the one pregnant with his child was the Ye Family’s adopted daughter."

"That..." Ye Yuning’s mouth twitched. Is that really how you ask someone a question like that?

Tang Xi knew what she was thinking and said, "Since he married you and things have been peaceful for so long, he probably doesn’t realize that the Ye Family’s adopted daughter is you. He likely doesn’t know the name of the Ye Family’s adopted daughter, or who Xiao Shuo’s fiancée is, for that matter."

Tang Xi elaborated.

Ye Yuning was a bit muddled as she listened, but now she understood. Tang Xi was right. Xiao Linye had been so good to her all this time; he probably didn’t know the name of the Ye Family’s adopted daughter or who Xiao Shuo’s fiancée actually was. If he had known, he would never have married me. A moment ago, my mind was in complete chaos, and I hadn’t considered any of this.

Now that Tang Xi had pointed it out, she felt a little calmer.

"You’re right, he probably doesn’t know. But in all this time, has no one mentioned it to him?"

"Who would go out of their way to specifically tell him the name of the Ye Family’s adopted daughter?"

Ye Yuning fell silent. That’s true! But he and Qin Jinchuan are so close; they must have talked about me a lot. And yet, Xiao Linye still doesn’t know the name of Xiao Shuo’s fiancée? That’s genuinely surprising. Right now, though, I just hope that neither Xiao Shuo nor Qin Jinchuan ever mentions my name in front of Xiao Linye.

Seeing Ye Yuning’s silence, Tang Xi continued, "The first thing you need to think about now is how to handle Qin Jinchuan’s investigation into your husband."

Ye Yuning was quiet.

The investigation... yes, the investigation! If Qin Jinchuan investigated Xiao Linye, he would definitely ask Xiao Linye why he married me.

"But how do I handle that?" she asked.

Tang Xi stated firmly, "You absolutely cannot let him investigate!"

Right, I can’t let him investigate! But how can I stop him?

Ye Yuning felt her thoughts becoming more and more jumbled; she couldn’t calm down at all.
