Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 656

Because of what happened to Ye Yuning, Upper City was thrown into chaos!

Gui Xingli and Ling Yan, disregarding all consequences, relentlessly tested Old Master Xiao’s limits.

Naturally, Old Master Xiao was unwilling to pay.

But Gui Xingli and Ling Yan were also stubbornly refusing to back down.

「Meanwhile, in Turanxi.」

Ye Yuning didn’t regain consciousness until four in the afternoon the next day. Her eyelids were incredibly heavy, and she couldn’t open them at all.

She felt terrible all over. In her semi-conscious state, the images from the private room relentlessly tormented her.

"No, no..."

"Ningning, wake up! Ningning! Ningning!"

Xiao Linye, who had kept vigil by her bedside all night, was now sitting in a chair, dozing off.

Hearing Ye Yuning’s whimpers and seeing the cold sweat on her forehead, it was clear she was having a nightmare.

"Wake up, Ningning!"

"No, no!"

Ye Yuning shot up from the bed in terror, her hands clutching the blanket, her entire body trembling.

She had always been a carefree person, but now...

Xiao Linye pulled her into his arms, feeling her body’s slight tremors. The exhaustion in his eyes vanished instantly.

In its place was an aura of boundless menace.

His expression turned menacing as he held Ye Yuning tightly, pressing her head into his chest.

Yet the words he spoke were incredibly gentle, "It’s alright, sweetheart. It’s alright now."

He continued to soothe her.

In his arms, Ye Yuning gasped for breath.

Her face was deathly pale.

No one knew what she had endured before Qin Jinchuan and Xiao Linye found her in the private room last night.

Even though there were only two people in that room. If it had been the old her, she certainly wouldn’t have been afraid. She would have fought those people to the death.

But last night, when that portly man’s assistant grabbed her, his hand pressing against her stomach, she had been terrified...

She had clearly felt the little one in her belly stir, as if crying out for help.

Then, she had snapped.

In Xiao Linye’s embrace, feeling an overwhelming sense of security, Ye Yuning’s tears streamed down.

Her tears soaked the front of his shirt. Feeling her warmth, Xiao Linye hugged her even tighter.

"It’s alright now, it’s alright..."

Ye Yuning’s body was trembling, but it was Xiao Linye’s heart that shuddered.

He had never seen Ye Yuning so scared. The woman of rumors was fierce and ruthless!

She had beaten Xiao Shuo several times, leaving him covered in injuries each time.

She was incredibly strong, always bristling with thorns.

That’s why Xiao Linye had believed she could protect herself.

But after what happened last night, he knew he had been wrong—terribly wrong.

In Upper City, he had seen her handle all of life’s upheavals with resilience.

That was because, in normal business dealings, she was more than capable.

But what happened last night... As he recalled the scene he had witnessed, the fury in Xiao Linye’s eyes intensified, layered with a dangerous chill.

After a long moment, Ye Yuning finally spoke, "Xiao Linye."

"Yes, I’m here," the man replied softly, his tone as gentle as he could make it.

Ye Yuning said, "I..."

I what?

Ye Yuning didn’t finish her sentence.

She pulled away from his embrace and looked up at him. Seeing that it was truly him, her vision blurred.

Xiao Linye gently pinched her cheek. "What are you looking at?"

Ye Yuning began, "You..." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

She wanted to say more, but pushed to her limit and weakened by the drugs those people had given her last night, Ye Yuning finally succumbed, collapsing into Xiao Linye’s arms.

Xiao Linye’s breath hitched. "Ningning? Ningning?"

But the woman in his arms no longer responded.

Xiao Linye was horrified.

He immediately pressed the call button.

A doctor rushed in and quickly performed a thorough examination on Ye Yuning.

Five minutes later, the doctor said, "Mr. Xiao, please rest assured, Miss Ye is fine now. Just make sure she drinks plenty of water over the next few days."

"Alright, thank you," Xiao Linye nodded.

The doctor gave a few more brief instructions before leaving.

Once they were alone, Xiao Linye looked at Ye Yuning, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. His own breathing, however, grew increasingly heavy.

His warm fingertips gently caressed her cheek. He carefully tucked her in before getting up and leaving the hospital room.

Xiao Linye had been by Ye Yuning’s side constantly since the previous night.

Consequently, he still wasn’t entirely clear on the details of what had transpired.

Kang Xuan was waiting outside the door.

Seeing Xiao Linye emerge, Kang Xuan respectfully stood up. "Sir."

"How were things handled last night?" Xiao Linye asked, his voice cold and laced with menace.

Kang Xuan replied, "The man surnamed Zhang is severely injured and in the hospital, but he’s already under police custody. Everyone connected to this incident was taken in this morning, including the general manager of the Imperial Capital Grand Hotel."

Xiao Linye remained silent.

Hearing that everyone involved had been apprehended, the frigid glint in his eyes did not lessen.

He knew this was all Qin Jinchuan’s doing; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been resolved so quickly.

"Where is Qin Jinchuan?"

"He came by earlier, but I’m not sure where he went afterwards."

After such a major incident last night, neither Xiao Linye nor Qin Jinchuan had slept a wink.

Kang Xuan didn’t mention that Qin Jinchuan, too, had flown into a rage last night...
