Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 53

Before she could take a closer look at other details, Xiao Linye had already picked up his phone!

Lai Shuo had said that Second Master Xiao had taken Xiao Shuo to apologize and had even beaten Xiao Shuo in front of Ye Yuning.

From the look of it, Boss Ye must have cooled off somewhat.

He would go to Manlang tomorrow to inquire about the situation, and the Nanjia Peak matter probably wouldn’t be a big problem anymore.

Xiao Linye replied with a simple "Mhm," and said nothing more.

Ye Yuning picked up the orange juice before her and took a sip.

Seeing him put down his phone, she asked subconsciously, "I haven’t asked which company you work for."

With such a good salary and benefits, it must be one of the top companies in Upper City, right?

Or had he mentioned it before, and she just didn’t remember?

But the message just now mentioned Manlang; it should be a company that collaborates with her studio.

Upon hearing her, Xiao Linye looked up.

His expression was noticeably lighter than before. "Mhm, you never asked before. I work in the business department of Xiao Group."

He hadn’t planned to hide it from her, but he felt some things weren’t yet timely to discuss.

However, since they were in the stage of getting to know each other, he tried to present things in the best possible light.

Yet, upon hearing the words "Xiao Group," Ye Yuning was completely stunned!

Her mind went blank!

Xiao Linye saw her staring blankly at him and raised an eyebrow. "What’s the matter? You’ve never heard of it?"

Ye Yuning snapped back to reality, the corners of her mouth twitching.

Never heard of it? How could that be possible? Who in all of Upper City didn’t know that Xiao Group was the foremost powerhouse?

But for her, this was not at all a pleasant matter.

Thinking about the recent commotion caused by Xiao Shuo and Ye Tong, which had even involved Xiao Group, she felt deeply unsettled.

She took a deep breath and shook her head. "How could I not have heard of it? You work at Xiao Group?" freeweɓnøvel~com

"Correct." Xiao Linye nodded.

Ye Yuning was speechless. Why does Xiao Group seem to be everywhere?

Was her connection to this Xiao Group a karmic debt from a past life, one she could never escape in this one?

Looking at the gentle man opposite her, she couldn’t help but gasp.

She never imagined that the husband she had just registered her marriage with also worked at Xiao Group!

Could she demand a divorce?!

Xiao Linye observed her suddenly tense little face and raised an eyebrow. "Is there a problem?"

Hearing his voice, Ye Yuning once again tried to soothe the frustration in her heart.

Meeting Xiao Linye’s gentle gaze, she forced a shake of her head. "No, there’s no problem."

She said it was nothing, but her heart was filled with a suffocating sense of speechlessness.

Was Xiao Group the hurdle she couldn’t get over?

Then, a thought struck Ye Yuning, and her expression grew even tauter. "Then, are you related to the Xiao Family behind Xiao Group?"

They both had the surname Xiao; it was hard to be sure!

Why hadn’t she thought of this before?

Her tone was noticeably sharp, even carrying a hint of displeasure.

Xiao Linye couldn’t understand where this displeasure was coming from as he met her noticeably changed eyes.

Frowning, he subconsciously shook his head. "Not at all!"

Ye Yuning, whose nerves had been on edge, visibly relaxed upon his reply.

It’s good that he isn’t. Please don’t let him be from the Xiao Family~!

She had just managed to shake off that scoundrel Xiao Shuo, only to immediately run into another man from the Xiao Family. Wasn’t this tempting fate?

No, wait. Xiao Linye was also from a Xiao Family, but he was from the Xiao Family of Lingcheng.

That scared her to death.

Watching her expression flicker through several changes, Xiao Linye smiled. "What? You don’t like the Xiao Family?"

"It’s not exactly that~" Ye Yuning smiled awkwardly.

She didn’t intend to tell Xiao Linye about her past with Xiao Shuo.

That was also why, when they had received their marriage certificate, she had deliberately erased all such identifying information.

Xiao Linye asked, "Is it because of the overtime at Xiao Group a few days ago?"

"Yes, exactly! You have no idea how that new president at Xiao Group is so..."

As soon as she started talking about the overtime, Ye Yuning couldn’t maintain her composure.

But then, remembering Xiao Linye worked for Xiao Group, she swallowed back the unpleasant words on the tip of her tongue.

Seeing her stop mid-sentence, Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow. "He’s what?"

Ye Yuning hesitated. Could she really say he was a tyrant?

But meeting Xiao Linye’s questioning gaze, she forced a smile and said insincerely, "He’s... very outstanding."

Outstanding, my foot! And so arrogant!

Rejecting things outright without giving any reason—does he think everyone is supposed to be a mind-reader for him?

Thinking of the hellish days she’d recently endured, Ye Yuning seethed with anger.

Xiao Linye observed her earnest expression, finding it hard to believe her words.

But seeing she was unwilling to say more, Xiao Linye didn’t press the issue and instead asked, "So, at Manlang, you...?"

"I do odd jobs. Didn’t I tell you before?"

Unlike Xiao Linye, Ye Yuning deliberately downplayed her position, as if afraid he would discover she was wealthy.

Xiao Linye actually believed her casual reply.

He recalled her saying she was an assistant doing miscellaneous tasks for the chief designer~!

He nodded and comforted her, "Everyone progresses step by step. Take your time; there’s no need to rush."

Ye Yuning nodded, her breath caught in her throat. "That’s what I think too."

Seeing this gentle side of Xiao Linye, she suddenly felt that one couldn’t judge everyone with the surname Xiao by the same harsh standard.

They both had the surname Xiao, yet the difference between them was enormous!

Even working for the same company, their characters were worlds apart.
