After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!

Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Uncle Fu’s Illegitimate Son

Fu Yanci felt like he kind of, probably, vaguely, seemed to know why now.

Why, before yesterday, Ye Li was so scared of him that she wanted to die, and today suddenly she wasn’t scared anymore.

Why she looked so awkward before leaving, feeling sorry for having deceived the old lady, yet at dinner, she was able to smile beautifully to cheer up her grandmother and even served him food.

So, after she discovered the existence of a child in the Fu Mansion, did she suddenly feel that their marriage wasn’t so inexplicable and began to see a trace of reasoning?

Even more, she thought the child was his.

He didn’t want to wrong himself, nor the child, so he found a woman like her who had weaknesses he could exploit and was easy to manipulate.

And her, just a moment ago, because of the one billion debt, she couldn’t settle into the role of Mrs. Fu in good conscience, but the next moment, after discovering he had an illegitimate child, her position seemingly shifted from the one taking advantage to the one being disadvantaged.

So, did her mentality change, and she could face him in all tranquility and without guilt?

A fleeting smile crossed Fu Yanci’s eyes.

When he looked down again, he saw Ye Li rubbing her forehead, huffing, "Fu Yanci, are you made of iron?"

There was a red patch on the girl’s forehead.

Her dark eyes shone under the corridor lights.

Fu Yanci reached out to rub her head, "Not watching where you’re going and still blaming others?"

Uh...

It seemed like what he said wasn’t wrong?

Feeling guilty, Ye Li shifted her gaze away and silently stared at the buttons on his coat.

The next moment, her hand was taken by Fu Yanci.

"Now that you are Mrs. Fu, there’s no reason to hide any major or minor family matters from you. Let’s go..."

Fu Yanci, holding Ye Li’s hand, walked toward the direction of the study, "I’ll take you to see him."

See... see who?

Eyes wide, Ye Li opened her mouth but ultimately didn’t say anything, and was led by Fu Yanci to the small courtyard of the study.

Stepping into the courtyard gate, the big house straight ahead was pitch-dark.

Only the side rooms on the left and right were lit.

Fu Yanci led Ye Li towards the room on the eastern side, and as they walked, he said in a deep voice, "Xiao Bao was brought back when he was two years old, and later we discovered that he... was much quieter than normal children. He doesn’t like interacting with people, nor does he like to speak; every day he’s either playing with puzzles and Legos or finding books in the study to read by himself."

"The family hired teachers to give him lessons, and he can solve problems that other children his age can’t. But no matter how much we try to encourage him, he simply won’t speak."

"When he was younger, he got lost a few times; the old butler and people would search the entire mansion to find him tucked away in some corner. Later, Grandmother decreed to let things take their own course, and since then, no one has forced him to speak."

"Ye Li..."

Around the corridor was Xiao Bao’s room.

Fu Yanci stopped, turned back to look at Ye Li, "For the past few years, Xiao Bao has been raised by Grandmother and me. You’ve seen how Grandmother is getting older and her vitality is not like before, so, in the future, Xiao Bao will definitely be with me. If you can accept him, then we’ll find an appropriate opportunity to bring him to Lishan Mansion. If you can’t accept him, just tell me directly. But I hope..."

"You hope I won’t be all honey-mouthed, pretending to like him while secretly being a cruel stepmother who abuses him when you’re not at home, right?"

Ye Li interjected with his words, smiling and nodding, "Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of person."

The girl’s smile was bright, her eyes clear.

For a moment, Fu Yanci really couldn’t tell whether she truly had no disdain for Xiao Bao.

Or was it because Xiao Bao was his "illegitimate child," and she felt that in this marriage, she wasn’t as disadvantaged?

Creak!

The door opened in response.

Ye Li subconsciously turned her head and saw the little boy standing in the doorway.
