Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Only Loneliness and Cold Remain

"Mom, I’m back..."

The iron gate creaked as it opened and then gently clanked shut again.

The girl hurriedly ran up the steps.

The date-wood colored door to the villa was just opening as the girl entered, then she was out of sight.

Silence abruptly settled over the world.

There was a knocking sound at the car window. Fu Yanci turned his head, as if he just remembered Xiao Bao was still in the car and went around to the driver’s seat without a word.

The car turned and headed towards the Lishan Mansion, the silence in the vehicle was somewhat unsettling.

Glancing in the rearview mirror at Xiao Bao, who had lost his smile, Fu Yanci asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to watch a movie when we get back? Don’t you want to see ’Spirited Away’ again? I’ll watch it with you."

Xiao Bao shook his head: No!

Fu Yanci: "...Then, shall we finish the Transformer we started this morning?"

Xiao Bao gave him a strange look: It’s too late! I’ve already assembled it into a rose and given it to Ye Li! Are you that forgetful?

Fu Yanci: ...

The car stopped in front of the mansion at Lishan Mansion, and they entered the house one after the other, only to pause together in the entryway.

It was the same mansion.

Even the lights upstairs and downstairs were on because the weekend was approaching.

The sweet aroma of fruitwoods sparked and popped in the fireplace, filling the air with their rich, sweet, woody scent.

The large villa looked like a gorgeous castle.

But at that moment, it didn’t resemble a castle at all.

It was like a beautiful, quiet cage.

There once were three happy birds in this cage, each contented and chirpy.

But the lively one had flown out to enjoy freedom, leaving the remaining two with nothing but loneliness and chill.

Xiao Bao stood frozen for a moment, casting a complex glance at Fu Yanci before slouching off to his room.

It was only after the fact that he realized that look meant: Aren’t you two married? Isn’t Ye Li your wife? You can’t even keep your own woman, what use are you?

Fu Yanci: !!!

The phone pinged, displaying the message Ye Li had sent over WeChat.

[Fu Yanci, I’m off to bed, goodnight! moon.jpg]

Fu Yanci smirked.

It wasn’t even eight o’clock yet she was saying goodnight, planning to explore the canyon early, so she wouldn’t have too much fun and forget to say goodnight, avoiding another quarrel with him the next day?

That’s good.

She’s learned.

But not thoroughly enough.

Fu Yanci pocketed his phone and went upstairs.

As he pushed open the bedroom door, a faint pear fragrance hit him.

There was also an indistinct fragrance of flowers.

The intertwined rich and gentle scents clawed at his heart like fuzzy little paws.

In the moment the lights turned on, Fu Yanci saw the dressing room door half open.

A burning sensation surged within him.

The girl clung to him, softly, in an intermittent whisper, "Fu Yanci."

The snow-white softness changing shape in his palm.

And the grip she had around his waist before he forcefully pushed her down, the tingling sensation shooting up from his spine.

He couldn’t continue with these thoughts!

Taking a deep breath, Fu Yanci frowned and went into the bathroom.

When the bedroom door was knocked, Fu Yanci nearly thought he was hallucinating from inside the bathroom.

After a pause, remembering Ye Li was at the Ye Mansion and that it was only him and Xiao Bao at home, his heart sank as he donned his bathrobe and opened the door.

Standing at the door, Xiao Bao had a flushed face with some wet strands of hair sticking to his forehead.

His eyes were cast down.

He looked utterly listless.

"Do you feel unwell?"

Fu Yanci was taken aback, reaching out to touch his forehead, only for the little one to step back, dodging his hand.

Instead, a thermometer was thrust into his hand.

After looking at it, Fu Yanci turned to Xiao Bao again, unable to help but laugh.
