After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!
Chapter 24 Everything is over!

Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Everything is over!

"Xiao Li, I know you’re still angry, angry that I didn’t help you or the Ye Family... but I was almost persuading my parents. Can’t you be a bit more patient and give me some time?"

His heart was enraged by Ye Li’s evasion, yet he still patiently soothed her on the surface.

Zhou Hecchen said hoarsely, "You did it on purpose, to annoy me, purposely attending that banquet at the Fu Family, purposely bringing out my uncle to provoke me, right?"

"Xiao Li, will you come back, please?"

Meeting Ye Li’s calm gaze, Zhou Hecchen’s heart softened.

The next moment, he heard Ye Li’s crisp voice, "Fu Yanci and I have already registered our marriage. Zhou Hecchen, I told you last time that when we meet, you should call me ’Little Aunt.’"

"The reason I am here is to make it clear to you that everything between us is over!"

"Zhou Hecchen, we can’t return to the past, and moreover, I don’t want to return!"

The love she wanted was always reciprocal, steadfast till death.

Just like how her father loved her mother.

Ye Li used to joke with her parents that other kids grew up eating food, but she grew up eating loads of ’dog food.’

Growing up in a home filled with love, she always believed love should be only about one person from beginning to end.

When she was young and naive, being neighbors meant spending every day together, playfully teased by adults as childhood sweethearts, easily blushing and moving past it.

When she received his confession during her poetic teenage days, she thought it was liking.

But at many moments, Ye Li started to doubt if it was really liking.

Saying they should break off the engagement wasn’t as painful as she expected, and she realized that maybe... it wasn’t as agonizing as depicted in novels and TV shows.

You love me, and I return your love equally or even more.

If you don’t love me, then let’s part amicably and live out the rest of our lives peacefully.

Even without romantic love, the deep connection since childhood was still precious to her.

"You... are already registered?"

Hearing something unbelievable, Zhou Hecchen looked at Ye Li, shocked.

Belatedly realizing why no one mentioned Ye Li after the Fu Family’s matchmaking banquet was over.

The Ye family’s debt was cleared.

Ye Li didn’t need to hustle anymore.

Without her news, weren’t people around him no longer discussing her?

So, this was all Fu Yanci’s doing?

A flash of humiliation crossed his eyes, and Zhou Hecchen clenched his fists hatefully.

The wound cut by glass shards began to hurt again, faintly feeling the sensation of blood seeping out.

When Zhou Hecchen looked up again, his somber expression suddenly turned carefree.

"Registered, huh... then indeed, there’s no going back!"

Zhou Hecchen curled his lips, looking up at Ye Li, "I haven’t even wished you a happy marriage yet!"

"No..." necessary.

Ye Li hadn’t finished speaking when Zhou Hecchen bluntly interrupted her, "Xiao Li, even if we can’t return to the past, we still have our deep bond from growing up together, right?"

"I definitely won’t attend your wedding, but with this glass of wine, I wish you..."

Looking up at Ye Li, Zhou Hecchen paused after each word, "for the rest of your life, everlasting... happiness!"

After speaking, Zhou Hecchen passed Ye Li and opened the private room door, beckoning a waiter over, "Two Margaritas, one with ice, one... extra sweet!"

The waiter looked up at Zhou Hecchen and softly acknowledged.

Coming back, the tray in his hand had two sea-blue cocktails.

Holding the one with ice cubes, he handed the other glass to Ye Li.

Zhou Hecchen looked at Ye Li, raising his glass, "Xiao Li, I wish you well!"
