Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 658

Tang Xi had told her a lot about what it felt like for a mother to become a single parent.

After all, she was experiencing it herself now!

Indeed, as she said, in a two-parent family, no matter how irresponsible either the mother or father might be, if one parent had issues, the other still provided a world of support for the child!

But it was different for children from single-parent families.

There really was no room for even the slightest mishap!

After listening, Ye Yuning frowned. "Why do I feel like there’s something off about what you’re saying?"

Tang Xi hummed in question.

"You’re not still attached to Jiang Bo, are you?" Ye Yuning asked, looking at Tang Xi with a conflicted expression.

Tang Xi’s expression darkened. "What are you talking about, you brat?"

"Your Jiang Bo was a mess before. He even hit you! What kind of support could a father like that provide for the child?"

Tang Xi was silent.

It seemed she had a point!

"But it’s still different, different on an emotional level."

When they were around, you at least had that tiny bit of reliance, even if it was purely an emotional one.

Ye Yuning pressed, "Did you forget he almost drowned the child before?"

Tang Xi was speechless again.

She really knew how to hit a sore spot.

"If you ask me, you probably worried even more when a father like that was around, didn’t you?"

"He is not the children’s father," Tang Xi stated.

Ye Yuning countered, "So you mean, you want to find the children’s biological father?"

"I didn’t say that! Anyway, we were talking about you!" Tang Xi retorted.

This girl’s train of thought was something else; Tang Xi felt she couldn’t make head or tail of her reasoning. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Who was it that had been so scared just a moment ago? Now, did this girl look even the slightest bit frightened?

Ye Yuning shrugged. "There’s not much to say about me. Last night was just an emergency."

"Is that so?"

"I didn’t expect to find people like that in Turanxi."

Tang Xi asked, "There are bad people everywhere. Weren’t you on your guard?"

"I was. If that person hadn’t grabbed my stomach, I probably wouldn’t have reacted so strongly."

This was a mother’s instinct.

The assailant had clearly shown his intentions and had nearly harmed her child.

By now, Ye Yuning had completely calmed down.

Regardless, last night’s incident had taught her a lesson; she would be more vigilant in the future.

Tang Xi stayed a while longer before leaving. She said the hospital food in Turanxi was terrible, and she had to go back and prepare something for him to eat.

When Ye Yuning was left alone, she sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. A previously unseen fierceness and danger flashed in her eyes.

When Xiao Linye came in again, she was on the phone. The call was entirely about handling the arrangements for what happened last night.

"Yes, I want those bastards to stay locked up forever. They shouldn’t be allowed out to harm anyone else."

It wasn’t clear who she was talking to.

But her current state made it evident that she had recovered. Her first action upon regaining her composure was to deal with those people.

To think they’d give something like that to a pregnant woman! She didn’t even know yet if the drugs, after whatever treatment the hospital provided, would still have an impact on the child.

But no matter what, right now, she wanted to kill them!

After hanging up, she dialed another number to discuss matters related to Southwest Province.

Xiao Linye leaned against the door frame, watching her quietly.

During the time they were together, the side of Ye Yuning he had always seen had been gentle and soft. She was naturally petite, like a little girl.

Who would have thought she also had this side to her?

Even though she was sitting on the hospital bed at this moment, she exuded an aura of someone who could dominate any situation.

Xiao Linye had overheard a good portion of her conversation with Tang Xi earlier. So, he naturally understood why she had been working so incredibly hard since arriving in Turanxi...!

When Ye Yuning finished her call and looked up, she saw Xiao Linye standing at the doorway. She hadn’t known when he’d arrived.

The fire in her eyes instantly froze.

Xiao Linye stepped forward, his gaze filled with tenderness. "Would you like some water?"

Water was already prepared at the bedside. Without waiting for Ye Yuning’s response, Xiao Linye picked it up and offered it to her.

Ye Yuning didn’t take it. She just stared quietly at Xiao Linye, an unreadable emotion in her eyes.

Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow. "Need me to help you drink?"

He spoke again, his voice even softer and gentler than before.

He hadn’t shown her this kind of gentleness since their true identities had been exposed.

Ye Yuning continued to look at him quietly, without a word.

Seeing that she didn’t move, Xiao Linye sighed, stepped forward, and pulled her gently against him.

He brought the cup to her lips. "The doctor said you need to drink more water. Be good."

He coaxed softly.

However, as Ye Yuning felt the intense heat radiating from his body against her back, her heart skipped a beat.

He had been so cold before, but now...

For a moment, Ye Yuning couldn’t quite process what was happening.

Taking a deep breath, she struggled. "Don’t touch me."

Ye Yuning finally spoke, her voice laced with suppressed pain.

Xiao Linye was speechless.

Ye Yuning closed her eyes, pulled away from Xiao Linye’s embrace, and put some distance between them.

Xiao Linye felt his arms suddenly become empty, and with that emptiness, his heart ached with a deeper void.

Ye Yuning looked down. "Why are you here?"

She had asked Tang Xi the same question earlier, and Tang Xi had implied it was likely because of the children.
