Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her
Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Chapter 42

Tang Xi was speechless. This works?

Seriously, how did I not know this could be done?

Seeing how relaxed Ye Yuning looked, Tang Xi couldn’t help but gasp again.

She asked in disbelief, "And he had no objections?"

"If he had objections, we wouldn’t have registered our marriage, right?" Ye Yuning thought for a moment, then retorted.

Tang Xi was momentarily stunned! Exactly! If there were objections, they wouldn’t have started, right?

The anxiety she had just felt eased instantly upon hearing Ye Yuning say this.

I can’t believe I didn’t know this could be done...!

"Not knowing is good. You need to be more careful moving forward; don’t let him find out, got it?"

"Got it," Ye Yuning said concisely.

Tang Xi was completely reassured. Thank goodness, Yuning is a bit smarter than me, she thought.

Truthfully, when there’s an imbalance of power between two parties from the start, some inexplicable scheming often occurs. That feeling is particularly unpleasant; I’m so fed up with it now, Tang Xi mused.

"Let’s go, work’s over!"

Ye Yuning didn’t want to talk anymore.

Her relationship with Xiao Linye had only just begun. It had only been two or three days, so there wasn’t that much to discuss yet, she thought.

Seeing her grabbing her bag to leave work, Tang Xi also picked up her bag. "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"I’m not having dinner with you," Ye Yuning shook her head.

Tang Xi looked at her in shock. When have we ever met without having a meal together? What’s with her now? Tang Xi wondered.

Ye Yuning said, "His cooking is delicious."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xi couldn’t help but click her tongue. "You’re getting a big head a bit early, huh."

"I’m not. I’m speaking the truth!"

Tang Xi rolled her eyes, clearly doubting her.

As the elevator was about to arrive, just as Tang Xi stood next to her ready to leave together, Ye Yuning suddenly said, "You take the next one!"

"What do you mean?" Tang Xi was even more displeased.

Now that she’s married, we can’t even ride the elevator together? What kind of logic is that? Tang Xi fumed internally.

Ye Yuning said seriously, "With your big celebrity face, let’s not acknowledge each other when we meet in public."

Tang Xi was speechless again. To hide it from him, does she really have to take it this far?

When the elevator arrived, Ye Yuning went straight in. Tang Xi muttered from outside, "You little thing, choosing guys over your friends!"

She didn’t follow her in.

Ye Yuning’s phone pinged with another message: Xiao Linye said the car was parked in the underground garage.

Ye Yuning replied, "In the elevator now."

She understood everything Tang Xi had said. But she couldn’t be prejudiced against all men just because of her soon-to-be ex-husband, could she? Besides, judging from Xiao Linye’s conversation and behavior, he didn’t seem to possess that kind of flawed nature.

Exiting the elevator into the lobby, she saw the Passat parked right beside her own big G!

The sight of the two cars parked side by side made Ye Yuning feel a pang of guilt!

As Xiao Linye came over with some purchases, he saw Ye Yuning’s tense face and followed her gaze toward his own car, his brow furrowing.

Ye Yuning also saw him and the items in his hands.

Xiao Linye pulled out the car key and pressed the unlock button. "Get in."

His tone was light, devoid of emotion.

But Ye Yuning still sensed a slight chill compared to before.

Confused, she nodded. "Okay."

She got into the passenger seat and buckled her seatbelt.

Xiao Linye handed her the items he had just bought.

Ye Yuning, somewhat baffled, instinctively asked, "What is this?"

Looking it over, was this compensation? I don’t need compensation, do I? she wondered.

While she was feeling conflicted, Xiao Linye said, "You often have toothaches, don’t you? This contains an element that’s good for that."

Ye Yuning was taken aback. Wait, it’s not compensation?

She mechanically turned her head to look at Xiao Linye. Observing his serious expression, she felt so dirty-minded. Her cheeks began to heat up again.

She stammered, "Actually, there’s no need. I can just have it pulled when I get a chance."

Xiao Linye said, "Pulling a tooth isn’t that easy for adults. Try this first."

Ye Yuning nodded. "Alright."

She had lived in a cold world from childhood until now, but at this moment, she felt an unfamiliar warmth spreading through her heart.

While they were waiting at a red light, Xiao Linye, his hands on the steering wheel, suddenly asked in a deep voice, "What kind of cars do your colleagues drive?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

His sudden question startled Ye Yuning. She clearly didn’t understand what he meant.

Xiao Linye turned to look at her, meeting her bewildered gaze. He wasn’t sure if she genuinely didn’t understand or was just pretending not to.

He asked more directly, "Would you mind if I picked you up?"

"Not at all. Why would you ask that?" Ye Yuning was even more puzzled.

But she responded and asked very seriously.

Xiao Linye looked her over carefully.

Ye Yuning felt a little unsettled by his scrutiny. "Is something wrong?"

"No!" Xiao Linye shook his head.

The traffic light turned green, and the honking of cars behind them interrupted their conversation.

Even by the time they reached Shanyu Pavilion, Xiao Linye hadn’t returned to their earlier topic of conversation, which only made Ye Yuning more confused.
