After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!

Chapter 143: Chapter 143: The Demon at Home

"I..."

wanted to say it wasn’t intentional.

Ye Li opened her mouth, but the words retreated at the verge of her hot cheeks and rapid heartbeat.

The man’s body was scorching like a branding iron, tightly pressed against her back, causing her nose to sweat.

The arm around her waist held her so tightly it almost broke.

Worse yet, his suppressed breathing swept across her neck, sparking a tingling sensation everywhere it touched.

Ye Li dared not move an inch.

She didn’t know how long it had been when his heavy breathing gradually calmed down.

Fu Yanci loosened his arm and kissed her back softly, "Sleep tight..."

"Mm."

She hummed softly, and in the darkness, Ye Li’s eyes flickered.

Every day they slept together after marriage, whether at bedtime or early morning, she could clearly sense Fu Yanci’s longing.

She had thought he was mindful of Xiao Bao’s mother, hence he disciplined himself strictly.

But now, even after the misunderstanding had been cleared, he still restrained himself.

Ye Li couldn’t figure out why.

Or was it that Uncle Fu had some other unspeakable difficulties?

Thinking wildly, Ye Li forgot what she was even thinking about, only having a clear direction in her mind.

Whether for her own sake or for Qin Chu’s, she had to hold tightly onto Uncle Fu’s "coattails."

Better yet, lock it in place.

As she drifted off hazily, Ye Li’s body gradually relaxed.

Behind her, Fu Yanci let out a low sigh.

He had thought that working from home was no different from going to the office, but it seemed there was a big difference after all.

At the very least, there weren’t any soul-stealing "demons" at the office.

But at home, there was one constantly challenging his self-control.

At dawn, Ye Li heard some rustling sounds, and before she could open her eyes, a cool kiss landed on her forehead, "Ah Li, I’m heading to the office, stay good at home."

Ye Li couldn’t remember if she responded, as the faint light instantly turned pitch black and she drifted back to sleep.

When she woke up again, it was late morning.

She read for a while, catching up on lessons she missed while sick the previous days.

Then, following the delicious smell, she went to the dining room to enjoy the high tea Aunt Lan had carefully prepared.

Occasionally, she would chat with Qin Chu, discussing the upcoming New Year’s break and plans for a grand holiday during the Spring Festival.

In the evening, Ye Li received a call from Fu Yanci.

"Ah Li, do you feel unwell anywhere?"

"I feel unbearably comfortable."

"Then I’ll have Xiang Yang come to pick you up."

"Okay... So, should I dress up a bit?"

"You’re already beautiful, no need to dress up any more."

"..."

"Just the two of us, we’ll have dinner and then come back."

"Okay."

Knowing that Fu Yanci intended to make up for the candlelight dinner they missed on Christmas Eve, Ye Li quickly went upstairs to change her clothes and even applied some light makeup.

Xiang Yang was already waiting at the villa’s front gate.

He picked up Ye Li, and the car headed straight out.

With Christmas before and New Years after, the busy malls and streets of Imperial City were beautifully decorated, looking especially enchanting at night.

The car entered the mall’s underground parking, and Xiang Yang pressed the elevator button, pointing to the 16th floor jewelry store, "Lady, please rest a while at Forever, the Boss should arrive soon."

"Okay."

Her eyes glittered as they slid over the Forever store logo. Forever was the most luxurious jewelry store in Imperial City, a subsidiary of the international high-end brand L family.

The greatest advantage of Forever was its elegance and luxury, and besides that, its jewelry also had a selling point of collectible appreciation, just like their enduring bags.

Ye Li had studied jewelry design; her dream had been to join the design department of a jewelry company like Forever after graduation.

Even as a mere design assistant, she would have been contented.

But now, it seemed that dream was likely to be shattered.
