After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!
Chapter 31 Ye Xiaoli, Are You Crazy?

Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Ye Xiaoli, Are You Crazy?

As soon as she said it, Ye Li wished she could bite off her own tongue.

When she looked up, she met the man’s dark, deep eyes.

In her mind, she thought of Xiao Bao and his mother, that woman deeply hidden in Fu Yanci’s heart.

With an expression of having misspoken, Ye Li hurriedly corrected herself, "I was talking nonsense, Fu Yanci. Don’t—hiss..."

In her panic, she pulled back her hand, and the site where the ice had pierced her palm slid over the iodine cotton swab in Fu Yanci’s hand, causing an excruciating pain that immediately turned Ye Li’s face pale.

Fu Yanci tossed aside the cotton swab and quickly pressed a piece of gauze against the bleeding wound, his eyes flashing with a momentary anger.

Opportunity was right before his eyes.

And yet, he had missed it!

Ye Li inwardly heaved a sigh, the little devil in her heart shaking her shoulders frantically: Ye Xiaoli, have you gone mad? Is this kind of joke really something you can make lightly?

Seeing Fu Yanci’s face tinged with slight anger, Ye Li shrank back, not daring to move an inch as he wrapped her hand up like a zongzi.

Ye Li: ...

Looking back out the window, still at the Vicent’s entrance, Ye Li spoke softly, "Fu Yanci, I’m fine now, we can go back to school."

"Okay."

Fu Yanci’s response came, and he draped his coat over Ye Li and led her by the hand out of the car.

As soon as the car door was opened, the howling cold wind rushed in.

Ye Li instinctively turned her head to dodge, but Fu Yanci opened his arms and enveloped her in his embrace.

The steady and strong heartbeat.

Accompanied by the scent of sandalwood wafting from the man’s body.

Ye Li hesitated for a moment, then found herself being embraced and guided to the passenger seat of the SUV.

As the car moved out, Ye Li watched the pitch-black night outside the window, feeling a moment of conflict within her heart.

What if she had not corrected herself just now?

What if she had not used going back to school as an excuse to change the subject?

How would Fu Yanci have answered her?

Would he have coldly told her she was overthinking it and given her a warning look that said there would be no next time?

Or something else?

After all, she had been hurt; considering she was an injured party, Fu Yanci wouldn’t just throw her out of the car, right?

Besides, even if he did throw her out, after the initial embarrassment, she was still Mrs. Fu. Fu Yanci couldn’t just take that prenuptial agreement with its bug and drag her to get a divorce.

She should have taken the chance and tested the waters!

No sooner had this thought come to mind than Ye Li firmly extinguished it.

She had already suffered a loss because of this man!

It was time to learn her lesson!

A wise person does not fall in love, Ye Xiaoli, remember this!!!

After bracing herself psychologically, when Ye Li spoke to Fu Yanci again, she had returned to her relaxed and easygoing demeanor from the daytime, "Fu Yanci, thank you for tonight... I promise, I won’t act recklessly in the future!"

"That, um..."

Hesitating for a moment, Ye Li whispered, "You... You didn’t do anything to him, right?"

Screech!

The steering wheel turned slightly, and the car came to a steady stop by the roadside. Fu Yanci turned to look at Ye Li, his gloomy face seemingly wrapped in the frost from outside the window, "Do you want to plead for him?"

Ye Li didn’t respond.

The moment she realized something was wrong, she felt as if she had stabbed Zhou Hecchen’s heart.

Even though the engagement was broken off, even though she was no longer his fiancée, there should still be the affection from growing up together.

But he was capable of doing something so despicable.

However, once she had come to her senses, all Ye Li felt were two words: Let it go!

After all, Zhou Hecchen was Fu Yanci’s nephew. Going to extremes with the situation wouldn’t be good for the Zhou Family, the Fu Family, or Fu Yanci.

It was better to leave it to Fu Yanci to handle.

But what kind of person was Fu Yanci?

Uncle Fu was known in Imperial City’s high society for his ruthless methods. Once handled by him, wouldn’t the nature of the situation change?

When the news spread, those who were not privy to the reasons behind the incident, or her ordeal, would only know that these uncle and nephew fought over her.

To be called a femme fatale was already putting it mildly.

If any more unsavory remarks came out, wouldn’t she be the one to suffer in the end?

"Fu Yanci, let’s just let this matter drop," said Ye Li with her head down, her voice faint, "I’ve already made things clear with him, and after this incident, we won’t see each other again. Just consider it..." Just consider it a great price paid for me to learn my lesson, since it won’t happen again anyway!

Ye Li hadn’t finished speaking when Fu Yanci interrupted her.
