Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her
Chapter 115

Chapter 115: Chapter 115

Shi Yan exclaimed in surprise, "So Seventh Brother likes this type? No wonder he wasn’t into those women abroad!"

Those women, any one you pick would be a tall girl with long legs, at least one meter seventy.

Well, this is something...! he thought. She may be slender, but aren’t her limbs too short?

At Shi Yan’s exclamation, Qin Yu also couldn’t help but take another look. He had to admit, she really was too short. Xiao Linye, nearly one meter ninety tall, should at least find someone around one meter seventy to match. This young girl... she must be around one meter sixty?

"Do you think Old Man Xiao knows about this now?"

"What do you mean?" Qin Yu asked, puzzled.

Shi Yan said, "If he knew, he’d be furious, right?"

Qin Yu fell silent. That, I really wouldn’t know.

Under their astonished gazes, the two left the restaurant shoulder to shoulder.

The evening breeze was gentle. It was raining outside again.

The weather in Duishang City was giving Yuning a bit of a headache.

Xiao Linye said, "Wait here for a moment, I’ll go get an umbrella."

"Okay," Yuning nodded.

The rain was still coming down hard.

Xiao Linye turned and entered the restaurant. A waiter, seeing him, respectfully hurried to get him an umbrella.

Then the waiter whispered, "Many people have borrowed umbrellas because of the rain. This is the only one left."

Xiao Linye frowned but didn’t think much of it.

However, when he turned around and opened the umbrella, he found that it was not just slightly small.

With the current downpour, if they stood even a little apart, the umbrella would be useless.

Xiao Linye looked at Yuning and handed her the umbrella. "There’s only one, so you take it."

What does that mean? she wondered.

"What about you?"

"I don’t mind getting wet!"

"Why get wet when there’s an umbrella?"

Yuning was perplexed by Xiao Linye’s suggestion. Is it that he doesn’t want to share an umbrella with me? Or does he see me as some kind of terrifying beast, about to eat him?

Seeing the man’s somewhat stiff expression, Yuning knew it was the latter.

She cleared her throat and suggested, "Let’s share. The rain is too heavy."

Is this man a bit too innocent, just for sharing an umbrella?

But the more he behaved this way, the more pleased Yuning felt. This must mean he has no experience with women!

In that case, aren’t I kind of terrible? After all, I did have a fiancé before.

She handed the umbrella to Xiao Linye. "You’re taller, you hold it."

Since she put it that way, Xiao Linye naturally couldn’t refuse and nodded as he took it.

The moment they stepped into the curtain of rain together, both their shoulders got wet.

Xiao Linye’s immediate instinct was to tilt the umbrella towards her, while Yuning’s was to move closer to him.

The instant she drew near, she clearly felt his body stiffen.

Yuning said, "Let’s walk a bit faster."

"Okay." Xiao Linye nodded.

But as they walked so close, it felt like they were out of sync.

The rain grew heavier. Yuning moved even closer to Xiao Linye, eventually linking her arm through his.

Xiao Linye glanced down at the soft crown of her head.

The faint scent of her hair wafted to his nostrils. This fragrance, surprisingly, brought him an inexplicable sense of peace.

Walking through the puddles on the road, Yuning clung to Xiao Linye like a kitten, afraid of slipping.

When they got into the car, a large patch of Xiao Linye’s left shoulder was soaked.

As for Yuning, apart from getting a little wet at the start, she had been sheltered in Xiao Linye’s arms the rest of the way.

Seeing the man’s face, unsure if it was wet from rain or sweat, Yuning quickly pulled out a tissue and offered it to him.

"This Upper City weather is so annoying. Plus, there must be an issue with this restaurant’s design; the underground parking garage is too small."

They had to park on the street level earlier because the underground garage was full.

Wiping the water from his face, Xiao Linye said, "We’ll eat at a different place next time."

"Okay," Yuning agreed readily.

The seafood here is quite good, but the parking is a real hassle.

When they returned to Shanyu Pavilion together, Xiao Linye remarked as they entered, "The hot water in your bathroom has been fixed."

Upon hearing the words "hot water," Yuning shivered.

Now it’s my turn to be embarrassed!

She just nodded with an "Mm," then quickly hurried back to her room.

As Xiao Linye watched her lively retreat, her clumsy demeanor once again seemed to overlap with a memory in his mind.

Back in her room, Yuning grabbed her clothes and dashed into the bathroom.

She tied up her hair, planning to brush her teeth first.

But when she looked at the cup holder, her toothbrush had vanished!

I’m sure it was hanging under the cup. How could it be gone? It’s not on the floor, nor in the trash can!

Unable to find it, she didn’t dwell on it and simply took out a new one.
