Chapter 21: A Disgraceful Presence

Chapter 21: Chapter 21: A Disgraceful Presence

Fu Yanci emerged from the bathroom to find that Ye Li had already changed her clothes and even fixed her hair.

Their eyes met, Fu Yanci’s gaze was calm, but it was Ye Li who felt uneasy, hurriedly saying, "I’ll be ready soon," and rushing into the bathroom.

The sound of her washing up made Fu Yanci breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Emotions uncontrollable.

Fortunately, he hadn’t scared her.

The two left the house at seven o’clock, with the morning light just dawning.

In the main hall’s living room, Old Mrs. Fu had been waiting for quite a while.

Seeing Fu Yanci and Ye Li hand in hand, Old Mrs. Fu’s smile was filled with joy.

The group of three headed straight out, and the Maybach sped towards the city center.

Though it was called morning tea, it was almost a brunch.

Sipping tea and eating exquisite pastries, watching Ye Li cheer up her grandmother with her playful smiles, Fu Yanci’s expression gradually softened.

Old Mrs. Fu saw this and felt even more reassured.

"It’s almost noon, I’ll go back just in time for a nap..."

Smiling, Old Mrs. Fu stood up and pointed to the driver standing at the restaurant door, "The driver will take me back. It’s the weekend, you young couple should go shopping and buy things, no need to accompany me."

Old Mrs. Fu left promptly.

Ye Li looked up at Fu Yanci again, feeling the air itself uncomfortable.

"Let’s go..."

Fu Yanci paid the bill and took Ye Li to the shopping mall.

Initially thinking he wanted to buy something for himself, Ye Li had mentally prepared to play the role of a flattering admirer.

Surprisingly, Fu Yanci took her to the women’s section.

Ye Li didn’t even know when he had instructed it, but the entire women’s section greeted them as if welcoming royalty.

From hats and shoes to lingerie, everything was prepared in her size, just waiting for her to try them on.

"Fu Yanci..."

Ye Li tugged at Fu Yanci’s sleeve and whispered, "No need to buy any, I have my winter clothes in my dorm’s wardrobe, and there’s so much at home already, more than enough for me to wear."

Moreover, after taking a half-month leave, by the time she returned to school, everyone would probably already know about her family’s bankruptcy.

It was time to keep a low profile, yet appearing flamboyant would only invite speculation about her.

Less trouble is better than more!

Just by looking at Ye Li’s hesitant expression, Fu Yanci knew what she was thinking and said in a deep voice, "Ye Li, inside the campus gates, you are Ye Li. But outside, you are Mrs. Fu!"

Ye Li understood.

Uncle Fu, polished from head to toe, how could he allow his Mrs. Fu to appear rough?

After a moment of silence, Ye Li turned and entered the fitting room.

By the time they returned to Lishan Mansion, it was evening.

Dinner was ready, and Ye Li ate quickly, then went upstairs to pack her suitcase.

Clothes for a change.

Snacks for her roommate.

Packing a large suitcase with various items, Ye Li was dragging the suitcase to the staircase when Fu Yanci took it from her.

The Maybach sped towards Imperial University, the car eerily quiet.

Looking back, Fu Yanci’s face was dark, as if he was angry.

Ye Li couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Apart from that small mishap in the morning, she had been careful all day not to anger him.

Lishan Mansion was only a little more than ten minutes from Imperial University.

When the car stopped at the West Gate, Ye Li quickly said, "You don’t need to get out, I can manage the suitcase."

With that, she hurriedly got out of the car.

It was dinner time, and the school gates were bustling with energetic young men and women.

The petite girl, mingled among them, pulled her suitcase quickly, as if afraid he would come down to help her.

Thinking that she didn’t want to be seen by acquaintances, and he was that shameful presence, Fu Yanci’s already dark face grew even gloomier.

He watched her figure disappear into the school gates before turning back home.

Bang!

The slamming of both the car door and the villa door marked his terrible mood, like a furious beast, Fu Yanci went straight to the bedroom.

Pushing open the bedroom door, he saw the gift box on the bedside table.

Fu Yanci’s eyes paused briefly.
