Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Explain, what’s wrong?

"Fu Yanci, you’re so bad!"

When Ye Li received Fu Yanci’s WeChat message, he was driving.

Glancing down, he caught sight of the girl’s accusation.

Fu Yanci turned the steering wheel to the right and pulled the car over to the side of the road, "Tell me, what’s bad?"

Ye Li: ...

What could she say?

Say that he obviously handled the trouble for her, didn’t take any credit for it, and even pretended like nothing happened and that he was out of the loop, watching her act?

Or say that it was a slip of the tongue, not that he was bad, but she was dumb?

Her gaze fixed on that one line of text on the screen, all her attention landing on that single word.

Ye Li’s heartbeat turned chaotic.

She could all too well imagine what expression he wore at that moment.

His eyes surely held a laugh, his lips curled into a slight smile, yet his expression was utterly serious, as if he sincerely asked, "Ah Li, tell me, in what way am I bad!"

If only she could actually come up with a reason, then that would be that.

But she couldn’t.

Ye Li wished she could turn back time a few minutes, just to swallow those words.

Even "Thank you, Fu Yanci" would have been better.

Before Ye Li could figure out what to do,

with a soft swoosh,

Fu Yanci sent another message.

"Ah Li, all my good and bad, they’re all for you alone."

I want to be good to you as much as I want to be bad to you.

Bad to the point of wanting to destroy you every moment, to possess you.

To confine you beneath me, never leaving for a second.

In just one line, it was as if he exhausted all emotions.

Inside the dark car, the light in Fu Yanci’s eyes went from bright to dim, making his face look even deeper, and the stubbornness in his brows and eyes nearly transformed into blades, entering the endless night along with the cold wind outside.

The girl seemed startled, not replying for a long time.

The screen went dark.

And Fu Yanci’s heart, with a snap, heavily fell.

The next moment, his phone vibrated.

"Of course! Who else would I be if not Mrs. Fu!"

Following that, the girl also sent an expression pack.

He lit up the phone and, looking at the screen, saw an expression pack with a cross-armed "Ain’t I a badass" tsundere look, Fu Yanci’s previously shadowed face suddenly relaxed.

"Good, Lady speaks the truth!"

The cold night air warmed up instantly because of the words ’Lady’ he typed.

After the message went out, there came no response; Fu Yanci swiped over Ye Li’s cartoon avatar, gazing at it for a while before putting away his phone and rejoining traffic.

Back in the dorm room, Ye Li’s computer screen was still on the page for Yanran Lake.

Following the school’s official announcement, all those malicious speculations and posts that slandered her were deleted completely.

What replaced them was hushed gossip.

"Silent as it was, and then came a shocker, the school really made a big move this time!"

"The department’s beauty sure is tough, little fairies, take note!"

"Learn what? Even if those comments in the big post are speculations, her two-timing is a fact, right? Everyone in the Design department knows she has a rich second-generation fiancé, seen by many. The guy in the forum photos clearly isn’t the same, right? Can there be pure friendship between men and women? Would friendship have them wear each other’s coats, hold each other’s hands? No other words needed, this one can’t be washed away!"

"True. Although you can’t see the face, the man in the photo is taller than the department’s beauty’s fiancé, clearly not the same guy. Tsk tsk..."

Gossip is still gossip; the previous uproar became a big deal because it was too excessive, causing a huge effect, so the school stepped in.

This time was different.

A minor commotion; the school would never bother.

But Ye Li wasn’t going to let it go.

She logged in with her verified student ID and posted a message.

Without caring how the gossip lovers in the forum reacted, Ye Li sent her piece and went straight to bed.

Monday morning, just as Fu Yanci arrived at the company, he was greeted by the beaming Xiang Yang.

As if some joyous, momentous event had occurred.
