Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Rounded Up, It’s Also My Place

Ye Family and Fu Family had no interactions previously, and Li Xueqing would only encounter Fu Yanci occasionally when she visited the Zhou Family.

Initially, she only knew he was Mrs. Zhou’s cousin, and he was aloof and hard to approach.

By the time he returned from studying abroad a few years later, his decisive methods had made him the head of Fu Group, transforming him into Uncle Fu, the unreachable figure in the high circles of Imperial City.

Li Xueqing felt an even greater distance in her heart.

Unexpectedly, privately, although Fu Yanci appeared cold, he was actually very approachable.

He was nothing like the indifferent and ruthless Uncle Fu portrayed in the rumors.

"Come in and have a seat..."

As she called out and saw Fu Yanci’s gaze resting on Ye Li, Li Xueqing pointed to Ye Li and introduced, "Yanci, this is my Ah Li, we saw each other a few times when we were kids at Zhou family’s place. Remember her?"

"Remember."

Fu Yanci nodded and then looked back at Ye Li with a smile brimming in his eyes.

Ye Li: ...

"Sister Lan, I’ll go make some coffee. You wash some fruit... Ah Li, you keep Yanci company for a while."

Li Xueqing dragged Aunt Lan off to get busy.

Xiang Yang left after setting down his things.

The living room quieted down, and the two looked at each other asking in unison, "How did you come here?"

Ye Li raised an eyebrow, "This is my house, why can’t I be here?"

"This is my mother-in-law’s place!"

Fu Yanci smiled warmly, "Or rather my wife’s home. Round it off, it’s also my home. Why can’t I be here? Besides, my mother-in-law was discharged from the hospital today, shouldn’t I come over to see her?"

Hearing him repeatedly mention mother-in-law and wife, fearful of being heard by her mom, Ye Li hurried to cover his mouth.

Fu Yanci caught her hand and kissed it softly in his palm.

!!!

Like a spring, Ye Li jumped up from the sofa and moved to sit far away from Fu Yanci.

Li Xueqing came out with the coffee and immediately saw Fu Yanci sitting at one end of the sofa and Ye Li at the other.

She handed the black coffee to Fu Yanci.

And the milk tea to Ye Li.

Li Xueqing looked up at Fu Yanci and asked, "Yanci, when did your sister move houses? I remember Ming Hui saying they were quite happy here and didn’t plan to move."

Zhou Hecchen’s mom, Fu Minghui, was Fu Yanci’s half-sister.

When Fu Yanci was in his teens, the Zhou Family looked down on him, feeling his father had died early and his mother was not around, and he, being a reclusive character, would just squander his life away in luxury within the Fu Family.

Because of this, Zhou Jinrui, Ming Hui’s husband, never thought of fostering a good relationship with his brother-in-law Fu Yanci.

Instead, he was closer to Young Master Fu, Fu Mingzhen.

But nobody foresaw Fu Mingzhen’s untimely death.

And Fu Yanci, taking over Fu Group from Mr. Fu, eventually became the youngest head of the Fu Family.

Zhou Jinrui deeply regretted it.

But by the time he wanted to climb back to Fu Yanci, it was too late!

"A new property opened up in the west of the city, it’s under the Zhou family’s name; they moved there."

Glancing at Ye Li, Fu Yanci lied smoothly.

"I see..."

Li Xueqing responded and grabbed her phone, "Really, Ming Hui should have informed me about their housewarming. I need to have a serious talk with her..."

As her mother opened WeChat and dialed a video call, Ye Li anxiously stood up.

Without extending her hand, she saw Fu Yanci shaking his head at her.

Beep.

Beep beep.

Beep beep beep.

The phone rang for a long time without an answer, and Li Xueqing simply hung up, turning back to Fu Yanci, "Yanci, why don’t you stay for dinner? Would that be alright?"

Dinner?

Only then did Ye Li realize it was already evening, and she quickly turned back giving Fu Yanci meaningful looks.

Fu Yanci nodded.

Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she saw the man looking tenderly towards Li Xueqing, "Sure, that sounds lovely... sorry for the trouble!"

"No trouble at all... Sister Lan, I’ll personally make the honey-glazed ribs..."

Happy to comply, Li Xueqing turned and headed to the kitchen.

Feeling frustrated, Ye Li marched up to Fu Yanci to argue, but just as she approached, the man pulled her into his arms.
