Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 94

Approaching the door, Xiao Ye’s voice could be heard from inside, "Father, you should respect Seventh Brother’s choice. No matter what, that’s the person Seventh Brother loves."

"He loves her? The ones I found for him before, each with their curves or slim figures, weren’t they all more attractive than that woman? What on earth did he find?"

"I wanted him to find a wife, not a child!" Old Master Xiao grew angrier as he spoke.

The mere thought that the woman from yesterday only reached Xiao Linye’s armpit made the old master so furious he felt like he was about to explode.

He knew he was picky. Weren’t all the women he’d found for him before well-matched in every aspect?

However, Xiao Ye, whether intentionally or not, seemed incapable of soothing anyone!

The old master was already unhappy about the height, and then she just had to add, "That’s great. A wife you’ve raised yourself is something special."

The air grew deathly still.

Immediately after, Old Master Xiao began coughing violently.

Xiao Ye, panicked, tried to console him, "Father, calm down, I’m telling the truth."

"COUGH, COUGH. COUGH, COUGH, COUGH..."

"Everyone has different tastes. Maybe Seventh Brother just likes shorter girls."

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!"

As Xiao Linye stepped in, he saw Old Master Xiao push Xiao Ye away. "You blockhead, shut your mouth!"

Still trying to comfort me, are you? It’s a wonder you haven’t angered me to death yet!

Fearing she had angered the old man too much, Xiao Ye added, "No, I’m telling the truth. It’s you who’s being narrow-minded."

Old Master Xiao: "You incorrigible thing~!"

Suddenly, Old Master Xiao remembered something: Xiao Ye herself had found a man even shorter than she was.

At that, his brain felt like it was about to explode!

Uncle Zhong, the butler standing behind Xiao Linye, saw the scene and coughed awkwardly as a reminder of their presence.

Only then did the two of them, who had been pushing and shoving, notice Xiao Linye had returned.

Seeing him, Old Master Xiao’s displeasure intensified.

Xiao Ye, however, looked as if she’d seen her savior. She quickly got up and went to Xiao Linye. "Seventh Brother, you’re finally back! Why did you find a child? Look how angry you’ve made Father."

Xiao Linye: "..."

Uncle Zhong: "..."

Is this what they call tailoring your words to your audience? But this hardly seems like the right time to switch sides, does it? Her use of ’child’ nearly made the Old Master pass out from anger.

Uncle Zhong said, "Miss Xiao, you really should stop talking."

Xiao Ye replied, "Oh, right, you’re back. I’ll leave him to you."

She didn’t want to say any more. She had been trying to soothe him since breakfast, but he had only gotten angrier.

She really couldn’t understand what there was to be so angry about!

Xiao Ye quickly departed, as if liberated. Uncle Zhong glanced once at Xiao Linye’s back, then also turned and left.

Only Xiao Linye and Old Master Xiao remained in the hall.

Old Master Xiao glared at him fiercely, as if he wanted to devour him whole.

Xiao Linye sat down and lit a cigarette. Seeing that he offered no explanation, Old Master Xiao grew even more furious.

He snorted. "Did you two really get your marriage certificate?"

"Of course," Xiao Linye nodded.

Old Master Xiao demanded, "What does she do? And her family, what are they like!?"

As he asked these questions, a distinct fury was suppressed in his tone.

Xiao Linye replied, "I don’t know about her family. She’s a menial worker at Manlang Studio."

"What did you say?" Old Master Xiao straightened his back instantly.

His posture suggested he was ready to strike Xiao Linye with his cane at any moment.

Xiao Linye stated, "You heard me correctly. She’s a menial worker!"

Old Master Xiao: "..."

The air instantly grew still.

Old Master Xiao breathed heavily, looking at Xiao Linye, while Xiao Linye just casually took a puff of his cigarette.

It was precisely this nonchalant demeanor that made Old Master Xiao’s chest heave with even more anger.

"A, a menial worker?"

A menial worker was bad enough, but at Manlang, of all places? Manlang belonged to the Ye Family, and the girl currently managing it was that scoundrel Xiao Shuo’s ex-fiancée. And now his youngest daughter-in-law was a menial worker under *that* girl? This was intolerable! His fury became utterly unmanageable!

As Xiao Linye nodded and murmured an "Mm" in affirmation, Old Master Xiao’s cane suddenly flew towards him.

Following it was Old Master Xiao’s furious bellow, "I think you’ve lost your mind! Get a divorce, right now!"

She wasn’t just unattractive, she was a menial worker! What on earth was he thinking? Or had something provoked him? This couldn’t be! In his heart, this son had always been the one who caused him the least worry. What on earth was he up to now?

"You know that’s impossible," Xiao Linye said calmly.

His voice held an undeniable firmness.

Old Master Xiao’s mouth twitched, and his chest heaved uncontrollably.

"You, you! You’re going to be the death of me!"

"I recall telling you that my marriage would not be a transaction for benefits."

"But you can’t just pick someone like her! Unattractive, and a menial worker to boot!"

Reacting to the old man’s agitation, Xiao Linye thought for a moment, then earnestly replied, "She’s not ugly."

He didn’t know if she was ugly or not; he hadn’t looked closely yesterday. Just her height alone was enough to make him not want to look a second time...!
