Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 661

Outside the hospital ward, the atmosphere was fraught with tension!

Inside the ward, Tang Xi saw Ye Yuning’s listless expression and waved a hand in front of her eyes.

"What are you thinking about?" Tang Xi asked.

Ye Yuning snapped back to reality, her eyes filled with an unspoken silence.

Tang Xi poured congee from the insulated flask and set out some light side dishes. The doctor had explicitly stated that Ye Yuning absolutely couldn’t eat anything ’heating’ right now.

"Will you eat by yourself, or shall I feed you?"

Ye Yuning lowered her head and didn’t take the bowl.

Tang Xi was momentarily speechless. Seeing her like this, Tang Xi also felt a pang of unease.

"Is it already the third today?" Ye Yuning asked quietly.

"Yes," Tang Xi nodded.

Tang Xi didn’t quite grasp why Ye Yuning had suddenly mentioned the date. But in the next moment, she heard Ye Yuning continue, "Only thirteen days left!"

Tang Xi fell silent. Now she understood! Ye Yuning meant that Xiao Linye and Qi Mulan’s wedding was only thirteen days away.

With Ye Yuning’s head bowed, Tang Xi couldn’t see the expression on her face.

Tang Xi pulled a chair to the bedside, sat down, and placed the congee aside. "Regarding the child, what has he decided?" she asked, cutting straight to the chase.

Evidently, seeing Ye Yuning in this state, Tang Xi had already formed a guess about Xiao Linye’s reason for coming here. And her guess was identical to Ye Yuning’s.

"Don’t overthink it. Eat first."

"Xi Xi," Ye Yuning murmured.

"Hmm?"

"If I insist on keeping this child, can I really stand against the Xiao Family?" Ye Yuning suddenly asked.

Clearly, she was already bracing herself for the worst. She had already retreated from Upper City all the way to Turanxi. If last night’s incident truly involved Old Master Xiao, it meant the Xiao Family still wasn’t planning to let her off. If that was really the case, then she...

"Huh? That... that can’t be possible, can it?" Tang Xi exclaimed.

It’s obviously the difference between a gnat trying to trip an elephant!

Ye Yuning said nothing.

She lifted her gaze to Tang Xi, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

Seeing her on the verge of tears, Tang Xi drew a sharp breath. "Don’t look at how Gui Xingli and Ling Yan are blackmailing Old Master Xiao right now. That’s only because Seventh Master Xiao isn’t intervening in this matter, and there’s also public opinion to consider!"

In Tang Xi’s opinion, if Xiao Linye had truly decided to act regarding Xiao Shuo, the matter would have been resolved long ago. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"So, I can’t keep my child, can I?" Ye Yuning asked, her voice trembling.

"If he doesn’t want you to, then definitely not!" Tang Xi stated, though the words pained Ye Yuning, she had to speak the truth.

"Does he not have even a shred of affection left for me then?" Ye Yuning questioned.

"People from the Xiao Family are heartless!"

Ye Yuning fell silent. Hearing this, she simply stopped talking.

Yes, the Xiao Family members were heartless; Xiao Linye’s previous attitude towards her had made that abundantly clear. But this child...

"Xi Xi, you have to help me!" Ye Yuning suddenly declared, frantically wiping the tears from her face.

"Huh? Help you how?" Tang Xi asked.

Seriously, what on earth is this girl planning now?

Ye Yuning looked at her, her gaze firming with resolve. That resolute look in Ye Yuning’s eyes made Tang Xi’s heart lurch.

「Five minutes later.」

Tang Xi emerged from the hospital room to find Qin Jinchuan gone; only Xiao Linye stood there alone.

No one knew, but at this moment, her legs felt like jelly! Ye Yuning’s suggestion was truly audacious; she must be insane... But now, with her insisting on keeping the child, this seemed to be the only way.

When Xiao Linye saw Tang Xi, he frowned. "What’s the matter?"

"Um, Ningning said she fancies some soup dumplings. I searched on my phone, and the nearest place is five kilometers away. Plus, I just took a taxi to get here," Tang Xi explained.

Xiao Linye understood and nodded. "I’ll go."

"Oh? Alright then." Tang Xi felt her palms grow clammy.

Xiao Linye turned and left.

Watching his retreating figure, Tang Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

「Meanwhile, after Qin Jinchuan left the hospital, he didn’t drive off immediately.」

Instead, he sat in his car, chain-smoking several cigarettes, his eyes filled with irritation and gloom.

BUZZ. BUZZ. BUZZ. His phone vibrated.

Qin Jinchuan glanced at it. It was a call from Ye Yuning. He answered, his tone clearly displeased, "What do you want?"

Obviously, Xiao Linye’s sudden appearance had disrupted his plans.

"Where are you?" Ye Yuning asked from the other end.

Qin Jinchuan was silent for a beat. He glanced up and saw Xiao Linye exiting the hospital. "Outside the hospital. What’s wrong?"

"Did you drive?" Ye Yuning asked.

"What? What do you mean?" Qin Jinchuan retorted.

"Did you drive or not!" she pressed.

"I did!"

"I’m coming down now. Pick me up at the hospital entrance."

Qin Jinchuan was bewildered. "?"

What on earth did that mean?

Before he could say another word, Ye Yuning had already hung up.

Listening to the BEEP-BEEP-BEEP of the disconnected line, Qin Jinchuan’s mind was still in a bit of a daze. What was going on? What did she mean, asking him to pick her up at the hospital entrance? He also didn’t know where Xiao Linye was headed, only that he’d driven off directly.

Qin Jinchuan frowned. Although he had no idea what Ye Yuning was up to, he still got out of the car and headed to the hospital entrance to wait for her.

"This woman..." he muttered, clenching his teeth before slamming the car door shut and getting out.
