After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!
Chapter 230: Ignore Her or Coax Her

Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Ignore Her or Coax Her

Upon returning to the dining room, Li Xueqing’s mood had greatly improved.

Seeing Ye Li and Aunt Lan sizing her up, Li Xueqing’s face was full of reproach, "I just didn’t sleep well last night and wanted to skip a meal to laze around a bit, and yet you two have to bother me!"

Ye Li hurriedly apologized, "Dear mom, I was wrong!"

Aunt Lan also laughed as she tried to make it up to her, "The saying goes, ’Man is iron, food is steel; without meals how can it feel?’ If you want to slack off, at least fill your belly properly before lazing around!"

Li Xueqing shook her head, her smile tinged with helplessness.

Ye Li and Aunt Lan exchanged a glance, and both felt at ease, simultaneously.

After lunch, Li Xueqing had barely put down her chopsticks when she started clamoring to return to her room for a nap.

Aunt Lan intercepted her to take her medicine, and only then, with a face full of resignation, did she leave.

Ye Li was still hesitating over whether to take a nap or read for a bit.

Her phone chimed.

A WeChat message from Xiang Yang: "Lady, the Boss didn’t eat lunch and went straight into his office. I plan to order some takeout for him. Do you know which restaurant’s dishes he likes best?"

???

I was about to ask how you could not know what his favorite dishes are, given you’ve been by Fu Yanci’s side far longer than I have.

But she knew all too well that Xiang Yang was subtly passing on a message. It wasn’t hard to guess what Fu Yanci must have been like these past two days, or the nervous state of the secretarial pool.

Ye Li couldn’t help but sigh, "I don’t know either."

In the secretarial area on the top floor of the Fu Group, Xiang Yang only glanced at the WeChat message before he felt the world go dark before his eyes.

Before he could wail "Heaven wants to abandon me," a new message followed.

"I’ll ask."

Though punctuated, containing a total of four characters, Xiang Yang felt as though he saw the light of victory.

In his excitement, he sent a goofy emoji bowing in thanks.

Ye Li: ...

Inside the president’s office, Fu Yanci was messaging with Xiao Bao.

He never dreamed that a phone watch could unlock a five-year-old child’s chatty nature, leaving Fu Yanci feeling helpless.

"Did you make Ye Xiaoli angry?"

"No."

"You clearly did! Your eyes told me so!"

"..."

"Girls need to be coaxed. You’re doing it wrong."

"...I’m angry at her, and I still have to coax her??? Do you think that’s right?"

"Would it be right for someone else to coax her?"

"..."

"Rule number one for a happy marriage: The wife is always right! ...Rule number two: If the wife is wrong, then it’s definitely your fault she made a mistake! ...Rule number three: If the wife is truly wrong, then refer to rule one!"

"Fu Muzhi, your tablet is confiscated! Whenever you can ensure you won’t look at such nonsense, I’ll return it to you!"

"Deservedly unloved! Neh neh neh neh neh..."

Fu Yanci’s already darkened face grew even more somber as he stared at that last sentence in the dialogue box for a long time.

Before he had decided whether to have the old butler also confiscate Xiao Bao’s phone watch, his phone gave a crisp chime.

A message from Ye Li: "Have you had lunch?"

Fu Yanci’s gaze flickered.

Two voices came to mind.

One voice, cold and distant: Ignore her, remember how she upset you yesterday!

The other voice, rational and gentle: Even a child knows that girls need to be coaxed. Surely you can’t be worse than a child, right? Are you really waiting for her to find someone else to console her? Hurry up, coax her!!!

The two voices wrestled with each other, impossible to separate.

Before Fu Yanci could sort out his thoughts, his phone chimed again.

Ye Li had sent another WeChat message.
