Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 84

Ye Yuning’s breathing instantly grew heavy. "I’m sorry."

She reflexively tried to sit up. However, the next moment, because she used too much force, the back of her head was painfully tugged again.

"UGH!" So painful.

Xiao Linye was hardly any better. His gaze lowered to meet her tear-filled eyes, and his own breath involuntarily grew heated.

Ye Yuning looked at him pitifully. "My... my hair seems to be caught on something."

Xiao Linye said, "Don’t move. Let me see."

"Okay."

She didn’t dare move now. The previous tugs had nearly torn her scalp off, and in this position, she couldn’t do anything.

With his vision similarly blocked, Xiao Linye couldn’t see anything either and had to feel around to check.

The moment the back of his hand brushed against her nape, both of them stiffened as if electrocuted. Ye Yuning went completely rigid, not daring to move.

Xiao Linye felt that her hair seemed to be caught on a button of his shirt. He tugged at it, but it didn’t come free.

Because he couldn’t see and it was difficult to untangle, five minutes passed, and it still wasn’t fixed.

Ye Yuning grew somewhat anxious. "Can you... can you hurry up?"

"I can’t see. It seems to have gotten even more tangled."

Her hair was rather fine and soft, so when it got stuck like this, it wasn’t easy to untangle. In fact, it was probably getting even more knotted.

And now, unable to see, he simply couldn’t get it free.

"Slowly now, lie down on my lap," Xiao Linye said.

He needed one hand to support the back of her head and the other to untangle her hair, which was proving quite awkward.

The main issue was that, in this position, neither of them could calm their racing hearts.

Ye Yuning replied, "Okay."

Xiao Linye gently lowered her, his own body having to lean forward as well.

They were already close, but as they shifted to cooperate, Ye Yuning’s face ended up pressed directly against the man’s warm chest.

The moment her head rested on his lap, Xiao Linye had her gently turn over.

When she was face down, Ye Yuning found the position even more awkward and indescribable.

Fortunately, Xiao Linye could see now and quickly resolved the issue.

The instant she was free, Ye Yuning almost reflexively jumped out of the car.

Her retreating figure looked exactly like someone fleeing.

Xiao Linye watched her scurry away, the corners of his mouth twitching involuntarily.

「...」

Inside the elevator, Ye Yuning’s heart was still pounding uncontrollably.

What happened today... it wasn’t her fault. After all, she had always kept her distance from Xiao Linye before.

But just now...!

The images replaying in her mind were relentless, leaving her unsettled even when she arrived at the office.

Chen Wei had arrived just moments before her. Seeing Ye Yuning step out of the elevator, she hurried forward. "President Ye."

"You’re here so early?"

Chen Wei noticed her slightly flushed face. She had been anxious about something else, but now she subconsciously asked, "Are you all right?"

Her face is so red this early in the morning.

Ye Yuning waved her hand. "It’s nothing. Could you please get me a glass of water? Thank you."

With that, she walked towards her office.

Chen Wei, observing Ye Yuning’s clearly unusual demeanor, felt somewhat confused but still quickly fetched her the water.

Once they were in the office, Ye Yuning picked up the glass of water and downed it in one go.

Yet her throat still felt somewhat dry and scratchy.

Seeing her state, Chen Wei said hesitantly, "Um, the Xiao Corporation has already selected the studio for the Nanjia Peak project!"

Ye Yuning put down her water glass. "What does that have to do with us?"

We were the ones who didn’t want to continue the partnership with the Xiao Corporation, so it’s perfectly normal for them to find new partners.

It really doesn’t have much to do with us.

Hearing Ye Yuning’s seemingly uncomprehending question, Chen Wei’s tone grew more solemn. "Indeed, it normally wouldn’t concern us, but the studio the Xiao Corporation chose this time... its owner is Ye Tong!"

Ye Yuning: "..."

What? Ye Tong?

Ye Tong established a studio? When did that happen?

And her design skills... are they really good enough to run a studio? We haven’t heard anything for half a month; I thought she’d finally quieted down.

Ye Yuning asked, "Are you sure?"

"I’m sure. It’s her. And she even snatched a project from Ma Di and Lei An."

Hearing this, the corner of Ye Yuning’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

Snatched a project from Ma Di and Lei An? "When did this happen?"

She had been completely unaware.

Chen Wei said, "They only found out yesterday. Apparently, the contract with her studio has already been signed."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuning’s expression immediately darkened.

For Ye Tong to suddenly establish a studio and secure the Xiao Corporation project was shocking enough.

"Heh!" Ye Yuning scoffed coldly.

At this moment, her entire being emitted a dangerous aura.

She knew it. After the unresolved business with the Qin Family and the shares, they definitely wouldn’t just let things be.

But she hadn’t expected them to be lying in wait for her like this!

"In just half a month, she established a studio, won the Xiao Corporation’s bid, and also snatched two of our projects?" Ye Yuning stared at Chen Wei.

Chen Wei nodded. "Yes!"

"Heh. So, I underestimated her before?"

Chen Wei: "..."

Although she was reluctant to admit it, this group, silent for half a month, had indeed made a surprisingly formidable move.
