Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Could it be that you like me?

Ye Li awoke from her sleep with a start.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she met Fu Yanci’s serene gaze.

She thought about how he had rushed over as soon as he could.

She thought about how he hadn’t scolded her over the phone, but instead helped her shift her focus.

Ye Li’s eyes reddened, "Fu Yanci, I’m sorry, I..."

"Ye Li!"

Fu Yanci’s voice was cold and deep, "If you haven’t done anything wrong, why apologize?"

Ye Li was stunned, not even noticing the tears that slid down her cheeks.

By her side, the man had already picked up a warm towel to wipe away her tears.

Seeing the girl looking dazed, as if frightened by his stern tone, Fu Yanci paused, his voice softening, "Then tell me, what did you do wrong?"

"I shouldn’t have told you I was back at the dorm and then secretly run off to the bar!"

Ye Li said nervously.

Fu Yanci then asked, "Anything else?"

Anything else?

Other than the mistake of meeting her ex-boyfriend even though she was already Mrs. Fu, what else could there be?

"There’s also, also..."

Ye Li racked her brains and couldn’t think of anything else.

Looking up, the man was gently wiping her scraped knees and palms.

Unable to see his expression, Ye Li was unsure, "I don’t know. Fu Yanci, you tell me, I’ll change it, I promise!"

Fu Yanci then tossed the towel aside.

With her heart tightening, Ye Li nervously looked at Fu Yanci.

He spoke in a deep voice, "Ye Li, I’ve said before, at school you are Ye Li, outside you are Mrs. Fu. But even as Mrs. Fu, you are free."

"Your free time is yours to do as you please. You don’t need to report to me. You haven’t done anything wrong, so there’s no need for apologies, understand?"

Ye Li was stunned, "Then, you’re not angry that I came to the bar late at night?"

Speaking of the bar, she thought of the drink.

Fu Yanci’s expression darkened.

Before Ye Li could say she wouldn’t come again, she heard Fu Yanci say sternly, "You can come if you want. Next time just remember to bring a bodyguard."

"What? Who brings a bodyguard to a bar?"

Her words, both teary and amused, instantly eased the atmosphere in the car.

Looking down at her palm, which had been attended to, and thinking of the momentary reassurance she felt seeing his car lights, Ye Li softly said, "Fu Yanci, thank you!"

Thank you for helping me when I was most vulnerable.

Thank you for resolving my urgent trouble.

Thank you for arriving the moment I needed you the most.

There were so many words she wanted to say but didn’t know where to start. After all, as per Fu Yanci’s words and the signed agreement, they were husband and wife.

Since they were husband and wife, he viewed all this as his duty.

"I should be the one thanking you!"

When Fu Yanci spoke his thanks, Ye Li looked up, puzzled.

She saw him reach out to touch her face, "Ye Li, I’m really happy that in the first moment of danger, you thought of me."

His gaze was warm, and upon closer look, one could even see a hint of a smile.

As if, even though she nearly fell prey to He Chen and those thugs tonight,

for him, tonight was still a night to be happy about.

All because she called him the moment she sensed something was wrong?

Feeling once again that men and women really do think differently, Ye Li blinked, and without thinking, blurted out, "Fu Yanci, you don’t happen to like me, do you?"
