Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her

Chapter 501

The two talked on the phone for quite a while. Tang Xi’s main point was that she needed to calm down as much as possible to figure out how to deal with Xiao Linye. It was also crucial to keep as many people out of it as possible at this time. The first thing to address was Qin Jinchuan’s investigation into her. Ye Yuning, of course, had taken all of this in."Don’t let Qin Jinchuan investigate!" Ye Yuning murmured softly.

"Hurry up and deal with it!" Tang Xi said.

Ye Yuning fell silent. Dealing with this won’t be so easy, she thought. She had genuinely felt Qin Jinchuan’s tenacity during this period. My head is really starting to hurt!

"I’ll handle it, I’ll handle it," she finally said.

"Hurry up then. I’m busy here too. You have to take care of yourself," Tang Xi added.

Tang Xi’s last words made Ye Yuning’s entire body tense up. What did she mean, ’take care of myself’? Could Xiao Linye really tear me limb from limb? Thinking about Xiao Linye’s tenderness towards her recently, Ye Yuning shuddered. If Xiao Linye found out... I might really be flayed and dismembered.

"YIKES!" Ye Yuning shuddered again and put down her cell phone. She was now racking her brains, trying to figure out how to stop Qin Jinchuan’s investigation. Finally, steeling herself, she dialed his number.

He answered quickly. "What’s wrong? Can’t handle the pressure anymore?" Qin Jinchuan’s light laugh came through the phone. Ye Yuning found him exceptionally irritating. He’s so annoying!

Ye Yuning closed her eyes. "Are you investigating who my husband is?"

"You’ve already challenged me because of him. I have to see what’s so extraordinary about this guy," he retorted.

Ye Yuning was speechless. Does he really have to be this persistent? She felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if her lungs were aching. My chest aches, my lungs hurt!

Taking a deep breath, she said, "You don’t need to investigate anymore."

"Oh? Why’s that?" Qin Jinchuan asked.

Ye Yuning said, "I’m going to divorce him..."

Even though these words were meant to stop Qin Jinchuan, Ye Yuning’s heart ached as she said them. Perhaps Xiao Linye and I really will get a divorce. He married his nephew’s unwanted fiancée, a woman his own best friend almost married. No matter how you look at it, it’s more than any man could bear. I was so arrogant and unruly in the first half of my life... Indeed, that kind of personality isn’t good. One must learn restraint, or fate will intervene. I made such a huge mistake without even realizing it.

Qin Jinchuan, on the other end of the line, was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised. "Really?" He had certainly detected the sadness in her tone. She was so fierce and defiant before, and now she’s just giving in like this? Women are all the same; how capable can they truly be?

Ye Yuning closed her eyes again. "Really."

By the time Xiao Linye discovers my identity, it won’t be a matter of what I want or don’t want anymore, will it? Thinking about the impending confrontation, Ye Yuning’s heart clenched with a sour ache. She placed a hand on her lower abdomen. Right now, I selfishly hope Xiao Linye finds out later. I don’t want to lose this current peace and tenderness. In my entire life, I, Ye Yuning, have never cared about anything! Family, love—I never hoped for or expected them... But now, I don’t want to lose Xiao Linye, this supposedly cold and ruthless... Xiao Qi Ye!

"How long?" Qin Jinchuan pressed.

"It’ll take some time," Ye Yuning replied.

"You have to give me a deadline, don’t you?" Qin Jinchuan said through gritted teeth. He was an extremely astute man; he wouldn’t let Ye Yuning trick him so easily.

Ye Yuning exclaimed in frustration, "I don’t know!"

"Then don’t blame me. If you think you can play me for a fool, don’t even dream of it!"

Ye Yuning was silent. What kind of trouble have I gotten myself into? But she knew she had to placate this scoundrel first, at least to stop him from investigating further.

Finally, she said through gritted teeth, "One month!" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI-Fire.ɴet

"It’s just processing some paperwork, and you’re telling me it’ll take a month?" His tone over the phone was already clearly displeased.

Ye Yuning retorted, "Well, if I try to file for divorce out of the blue, he’s not going to agree, is he?"

Qin Jinchuan was silent.

"I need a reason. Even if our marriage has broken down, we have to argue first, right? Don’t you need to argue for a month for it to be considered a real breakdown?"

Qin Jinchuan said nothing. Her reasoning made sense, but a month is too long! "A month is out of the question! Besides, you’ve only been married a short while. What kind of marital bond could you possibly have?"

Ye Yuning countered, "What about love at first sight?"

The breathing on the other end of the line instantly grew heavy.

Qin Jinchuan said in a dangerous tone, "Don’t tell me you fell in love with him at first sight!"

"That’s exactly right!" Ye Yuning affirmed.

Qin Jinchuan was speechless.

"Regardless, it’s one month!" Her tone had become extremely impatient. If she could, she’d beat this scoundrel to death right now! She recalled Xiao Linye telling her that Qin Jinchuan liked her. What awful thing did I ever do to make this scoundrel develop feelings for me? Ye Yuning felt troubled and even more annoyed.

Seeing her firm stance, Qin Jinchuan didn’t argue further. "Fine, one month it is." He had finally compromised.

Ye Yuning warned, "Don’t investigate him, or else..." She didn’t finish her sentence, but the implication was crystal clear.

Qin Jinchuan snorted coldly. "Someone who will soon have nothing to do with you? I have no interest in finding out who he is."
