Chapter 142: Chapter 142: You Try Moving Again?

Fu Yanci returned, and Qin Chu very perceptively announced his departure.

His car had driven out, then roared back in, as Qin Chu shouted, "Aunt Lan, remember to stew that wild ginseng for Lizi to replenish her energy!"

Aunt Lan nodded, her smile beaming, as the Ferrari zoomed away.

Ye Li curled up in Fu Yanci’s embrace, not daring to lift her head.

As soon as Qin Chu mentioned replenishing energy, she heard the muffled laughter of the man beside her.

That morning when he kissed her, she didn’t even know how to breathe, nearly suffocating herself.

So much so that he asked with amusement why she couldn’t even remember how to kiss.

What did she not know?

It was clearly him being fierce and ruthless, not giving her the chance to breathe, okay?

Now, Qin Chu’s mention of wild ginseng really hit the nail on the head.

And she couldn’t even blame herself for it.

If only she knew, she would have stayed obediently in the living room earlier.

Ye Li’s face was flushed.

"Ah Li..."

The man’s calling voice was full of laughter, looking tenderly at the girl huddled in his arms like a quail, "Qin Chu left quite a while ago, how long are we planning to stand here?"

Her body within the embrace stiffened, and Ye Li struggled free, turning and heading into the villa, clattering up the stairs.

After dinner, the doctor arrived.

After a thorough check-up, the doctor looked at Fu Yanci, who had been intently watching him, "Lady is fine now. But since she’s suffered from the cold, she still needs to get plenty of rest these next few days."

"Thank you for your efforts!"

Fu Yanci nodded.

After seeing off the doctor and making a call to Old Mrs. Fu and Xiao Bao, who were always concerned, Fu Yanci returned to the bedroom to see Ye Li had already washed up and was lying in bed.

She was the picture of following the doctor’s orders, eating well and resting well.

Curling the corner of her lips, Fu Yanci found his pajamas and went to the bathroom.

She thought she could turn off the lights and fall asleep at once, just like the previous nights, and dream well until morning.

But Ye Li was wrong.

Having slept several days in a row, she now found herself wide awake.

The breathing next to her was even and extended; Fu Yanci seemed to have fallen asleep.

Carefully, Ye Li removed his arm from her waist and turned over.

In the darkness, Fu Yanci opened his eyes.

He knew better than anyone what the sleeping Ye Li looked like.

He’d become accustomed to her clinging to him like an octopus or sweetly nested in his embrace, but now, even the slightest distance she put between them felt unbearably wrong.

"Ah Li..."

As soon as the man spoke, Ye Li’s hand holding her phone halted.

Slowly pulling her hand back in, Ye Li whispered, "You’re not asleep?"

"I was, but you woke me up."

"..."

Ye Li turned around slowly, "I’m sorry, I, I..." couldn’t sleep.

He couldn’t see the girl’s face clearly, but the faint scent in her words floated around.

It was like the smell of her shower gel.

Or perhaps the milk she drank before bed.

But in Fu Yanci’s heart, it was all about that sour and sweet blueberry flavor.

He didn’t wait for her to finish, leaning in to kiss her.

Indeed, men transformed at night.

No matter how gentle during the day, they turned fierce at night.

Remembering his laughter from the morning, Ye Li kissed back blankly while lowly catching her breath.

His hot palm slipped under the hem of her nightgown, and when he grasped the soft flesh at her waist, Ye Li opened her eyes, her body tensing for a moment.

Her breath caught, and Fu Yanci’s kiss halted.

For a long time, he slowly withdrew his hand.

He was reminded of her pale appearance from the fevers over the past few days and her weakness where she had not an ounce of strength.

The doctor’s advice echoed in his ear, advising rest without overexertion.

Fu Yanci’s body tensed as he gently enwrapped the girl, "Let’s sleep..."

"Oh."

Unsure why he stopped, Ye Li bit her lip and responded.

A twinge of pain at the small of her back made Ye Li carefully shift.

Before she could exhale completely, she felt a fiery twitch next to her.

Beside her ear, the man’s voice came through gritted teeth, "Try moving again?"
