Chapter 197: Chapter 197: The Amusement Between Adults

Ye Li didn’t return to her room until ten minutes later.

Fu Yanci was modeling, with Xiao Bao sitting in front of a drawing board, sketching.

Meeting the man’s gaze, Ye Li’s face began to feel hot again.

She rolled her eyes at him irritably and went to sit by the bay window with her phone to send a WeChat message to Lu Xiaoxiao.

[Xiaoxiao, my dear Xiaoxiao, can you do me a favor? *Picture.jpg* ... I have a distant cousin who needs a trustworthy person to translate some documents for her law firm, not sure how much to offer; can you please check it out? Might be a good match, huh? *Flirty wink.jpg*]

[...Lizi, I must have been a great philanthropist building bridges in my past life to have met someone as wonderful as you in this life! I can’t thank you enough, I’ll contact them right away. If it really works out, I’ll treat you to dinner to return the favor!]

[Sure thing! Mwah.jpg]

A few minutes after Ye Li put down her phone, the ringing of a video call echoed.

Seeing that it was Lu Xiaoxiao calling, Ye Li knew it had worked.

"Xiaoxiao..."

"Lizi, you’re literally a fairy, ah, ah, ah! How can you be so amazing?"

As soon as the video connected, Lu Xiaoxiao, a complete contrast from her dejection the day before, was flushed with excitement, "I contacted Lawyer Tan from the business card. Just by her voice, I could tell she’s a stunner, and guess what? She owns the law firm—oh my god, she’s so amazing! Truly a role model for us!"

"...Lizi, guess how much she’s paying me per contract? You won’t believe it! She said for a contract of about ten to fifteen pages, it’s roughly two to three thousand depending on the difficulty. But if it’s dozens of pages, it could go up to tens of thousands. The more accurate and quicker the translation, the higher the price! Lizi... how can you be so good!"

Ye Li understood all too well the feeling of receiving help when one needed it most.

When Fu Yanci proposed marriage and offered to help her pay back the Ye Family’s one billion, she felt just like Lu Xiaoxiao did at that moment.

That life-saving feeling, potent enough to be remembered for a long time.

"No need to thank..."

Ye Li smiled and glanced at Fu Yanci, who was seriously modeling, "I don’t have that much ability. It was all thanks to my boyfriend!"

"He really is a good person! No wonder he wins over a beauty!"

Lu Xiaoxiao sighed on the other end, "Lizi, when I get my first paycheck, I’ll treat you and your boyfriend to a feast!"

Looking up, she met the man’s warm gaze.

Ye Li nodded, "Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Ye Li sat next to Xiao Bao and playfully poked Fu Yanci’s hand, "Boyfriend, thank you! I’ll treat you to a big meal soon!"

Boyfriend?

Xiao Bao froze, looking back and forth between Fu Yanci and Ye Li, the confusion clear in his eyes: aren’t you two already married? How come you still refer to each other as boyfriend and girlfriend?

Fu Yanci’s smile was gentle.

Ye Li playfully blinked.

Before she could say "You’ll understand when you’re older," she saw Xiao Bao’s lips curl up in a knowing smile: I get it now! This is a kind of adult playfulness.

Ye Li, you’re quite the playful one!

Facing the little guy’s smiling eyes, curved as if he had unraveled some mystery.

Ye Li: !!!

Are kids these days this precocious?

"Fu Muzhi!!!"

Reaching out to pinch his chubby cheek, Ye Li said fiercely, "Confess, are you a ’little monster’ in disguise? Are you actually hundreds of years old?"

???

Xiao Bao’s eyes twinkled like glittering stars.

Hundreds of years old?

Then shouldn’t you be calling me ’Ancestor’ instead of Brother Mu?

The thought flashed across his eyes, and sensing something amiss, Xiao Bao dropped his paintbrush and dashed outside.

"Fu Muzhi, you stop right there!!!"

Ye Li got up and chased after him.

A girl’s shouts.

A child’s laughter.

Suddenly, the entire villa came alive.

Bright sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Fu Yanci couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.
