After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!
Chapter 148 My Ah Li

Chapter 148: Chapter 148 My Ah Li

Even though Fu Yanci said the price wasn’t high, just to wear it casually, Ye Li knew very well that even just the ring was costly, let alone the entire set.

She carefully took off the necklace and ring, placing them back in the jewelry box, wearing only the bracelet and earrings she adored immensely.

On one side, she was overjoyed as she thanked Fu Yanci, "Thank you, husband, for the gift!"

Adorned in the full set of jewelry, Ye Li was breathtakingly resplendent, a beauty that could topple cities.

Wearing only the bracelet and earrings, she appeared less formal but infinitely more ethereal and pure.

Still, she was so gorgeous it was impossible to look away.

Calling the manager over to pack up the necklace and ring to be sent to Lishan Mansion, Fu Yanci said gravely, "The other set that the Lady likes should be sent along as well."

"Of course."

The manager nodded, then turned to ask Ye Li, "Lady, would you like to try on Green Waist?"

Ye Li was about to say there was no need but, thinking of something, she turned back to look at Fu Yanci, "Then, wait for me a moment."

Seeing that the man was about to rise and follow her, Ye Li turned back to push him, and tiptoed to whisper in his ear, "You’re not allowed to look! I’ll wear it especially for you another day, okay?"

Though he was uncertain why it had to be another day, the girl’s enthusiasm was rare.

Fu Yanci nodded, but his hand, wrapped around Ye Li’s waist, did not let go, "Another day, which day? Give me an exact date, and I’ll agree!"

"... Surely I wouldn’t deceive you, right?"

Ye Li, looking somewhat helpless, coquettishly said, "The day after tomorrow, is that okay now?"

The day after tomorrow was New Year’s Day, the first day of the new year.

Fu Yanci was satisfied and let go of his hand.

It took over half an hour before Ye Li returned.

Her demeanor was cheerful, as if she had taken a great liking to something.

Without even glancing at the price, Fu Yanci simply signed the check.

Beside him, Ye Li gasped, "That jewelry set is called ’Eternal’? Is it that expensive?"

A nine-digit price tag; not to mention owning it, Ye Li had never even seen such a thing across many years of attending international jewelry exhibitions.

But judging by Fu Yanci’s expression, it seemed as though the figure was not 1.9 billion but rather 190,000.

"Yes, Lady," the manager explained. "’Eternal’ originates from the seabed off the west coast of Namibia and has a history of hundreds of millions of years. Apart from the smaller diamonds set in the necklace, bracelet, and earrings, just the two pigeon egg-sized diamonds on the necklace and ring total 99 carats. Moreover, ’Eternal’ is the creation of the Parisian jewelry master Lanchisi. Insiders have revealed that this might be the master’s final masterpiece."

No wonder!

Ye Li’s eyes were filled with trepidation as she turned to look at Fu Yanci, who had been watching her attentively, and thanked him once more, "Fu Yanci, thank you!"

Ever since she saw "Eternal" today, she had been thanking him continuously.

It was as if it was something so beyond her reach that she felt anxious just possessing it.

Fu Yanci smiled, "My Ah Li, you deserve all the beauty in this world!"

Ye Li was taken aback, and her heart uncontrollably started racing again.

Only her parents had ever called her Ah Li.

Her father had passed away, and her mother was ill and no longer remembered her, so much so that the first time Fu Yanci called her Ah Li, she hadn’t even realized he was speaking to her.

And every time he uttered Ah Li thereafter, Ye Li felt there was an extraordinary gentleness to Fu Yanci, as if they had known each other for many years and he could say it so intimately.

Such thoughts flickered through her mind, and Ye Li quickly calmed down, thinking she was overanalyzing it.

But now, he had said, "My Ah Li."

The affection was doubled.

The feeling of being pampered and adored washed over her.

Her heart pounded wildly, and the little voice inside Ye Li’s heart screamed.

Ah ah ah, he’s just too charming!!!

How could anyone withstand such an Uncle Fu?

Somebody help!!!
