After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!
Chapter 342: Is It That Fierce?

Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Is It That Fierce?

In the president’s lounge on the top floor of Fu Group, Ye Li lay sprawled on the large bed flipping through a magazine, leisurely swinging her feet.

Looking up again, the man was dressed impeccably in a sharp shirt and straight trousers, exuding a cold and authoritative air.

It was impossible to imagine that just moments ago, he had been as wild as a ravenous wolf, completely inhumane.

Ye Li couldn’t help but teasingly say, "Fu Yanci, don’t you think this is like hiding a beauty in a golden house?"

Downstairs for work.

Upstairs hiding her?

As if her swinging fair little leg had dazzled him, Fu Yanci walked over and pulled Ye Li into his embrace. "Then come to the meeting with me. I’ll introduce everyone to Mrs. Fu. Would that work?"

Of course not!

Ye Li coquettishly pushed him away. "I won’t disturb Mr. Fu’s work. You should hurry up and go!"

"But what I want most is to work on you."

Fu Yanci leaned down and bit the girl’s fair shoulder.

Ye Li: !!!

She drove him away, closed the curtains, tossed aside the magazine, and hugged a pillow to sleep.

When she woke up, she was startled awake by the buzzing of a vibrating phone.

Bleary-eyed, she glanced at the screen. It was an unfamiliar number she’d never saved.

Ye Li pressed ignore and went back to sleep.

But as if the caller was persistent, the phone buzzed again.

"Hello?"

Ye Li answered the call grumpily.

"Ye Li, hello. This is Lin Kerou."

The gentle voice on the other end got straight to the point. "Can we meet? Just the two of us."

"No."

Ye Li decisively hung up.

In the Lin Mansion, Lin Kerou stared at the disconnected call in a momentary daze.

Are young girls nowadays all this feisty?

Or is it just Ye Li?

So at Fu Garden’s matchmaking event back then, was Ye Li this aggressive in capturing Fu Yanci?

She considered calling again to tell Ye Li she just wanted to discuss Xiao Bao’s matters.

But noticing it was almost six o’clock, she hesitated.

If Fu Yanci happened to pick her up and overheard, it wouldn’t end well.

Lin Kerou hesitated for a long time and finally gave up.

Then a call from her secretary informed her that Jiang Chengcheng had completed signing the contract, and Lin Kerou smiled faintly. "Alright, understood!"

Still drowsy, Ye Li drifted off into sleep again. When she woke up, she looked up to see Fu Yanci smiling at her.

Raising her eyes again, she saw the curtains wide open, with the floor-to-ceiling windows revealing a star-dotted sky.

"Why didn’t you wake me up?"

Ye Li muttered, wrapping her arm around the man’s neck.

"Lady deserves rest after a long day. Why wake you up?"

Fu Yanci replied warmly.

Ye Li snapped awake, reaching out to pinch him. "Fu Yanci, are you teasing me for my weak stamina again? I’ve already tried my best! Keep this up, and I’ll really get angry!"

"Ah Li..."

Fu Yanci’s face was full of amusement. "What I meant was, you’re busy with classes Monday through Friday. Being a student is exhausting. Ah Li, what were you thinking?"

Ye Li froze.

In front of her was the man’s radiant, smiling handsome face.

And in her ears, she heard him saying, "Ah Li, you didn’t let me eat my fill; this won’t do."

Realizing her misunderstanding, Ye Li’s face instantly flushed red.

"Fu Yanci, you’re awful! Wuwuwu..."

"Alright, I was wrong, okay? How do you want to punish me?"

"Punish you by making you sleep in the guest room tonight!"

"Alright!... But could you let me eat my fill first? Is that okay?"

???

She wanted to ask what he meant by "fill." She even wanted to protest, saying, "Fu Yanci, you’re going too far!"

But the moonlight was too beautiful, the starlight too dazzling, and even the twinkling neon lights seemed particularly enchanting.

Shifting glimmers mixed and spilled through the floor-to-ceiling window, and in the man’s deep, devoted gaze, she seemed to be the only one.

In all of heaven and earth, there was only him and her.

In his eyes, in his heart, she was all there was.

And she felt the same.

She stared blankly, her heart melting into a soft puddle.

When the bath towel slipped off, a chill struck, and Ye Li instinctively shrank.

The next instant, the man’s warm body pressed against hers.

The belt buckle felt a little hard.

The shirt buttons were uncomfortably stiff against her.

Ye Li, responding to his kiss, reached out to unbutton his shirt.

Fu Yanci’s breath hitched.

He had only intended to kiss her awake, take her out for dinner, and then go home.

But who could resist such good fortune?

"Ah Li..."

Letting the girl angrily tug at his buttons, Fu Yanci smiled as he kissed her. "This isn’t home; could it count as a guest room?"

???

Ye Li hesitated, her movements pausing.

Fu Yanci, as if growing impatient, swiftly undressed and leaned down.

...

When the phone suddenly rang, Fu Yanci snapped back to his senses, and Ye Li in his arms sat up with him.

The dawn light faintly peeked through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

On the other end of the call, the old butler’s voice trembled with anxiety. "Young Master, the little one is missing!"

"Don’t worry! I’m on my way!"

Hanging up, the two dressed and freshened up in a hurry.

The elevator had barely reached the underground garage when the butler called again, sounding relieved. "We found him, we found him. He went to the alley entrance to watch a few old men walking their birds!"

Exchanging glances, Fu Yanci and Ye Li both sighed in relief.

Despite this, the Maybach sped straight to Fu Mansion.

At the alley tea house’s ground floor, elderly men were gathered walking their birds and exercising.

When they saw Fu Yanci, they teased him for not forgetting his grandmother after marrying his wife.

Next, they joked about when Ye Li would have a Xiao Li Zi.

Ye Li fled in embarrassment.

After Fu Yanci chatted with the elderly men, he returned to the courtyard. Inside, one big and one small sat obediently behind the desk, with Xiao Bao’s crooked little apology letter spread before him.

Dear Uncle, I was wrong. Next time, I’ll notify you before heading out!

Love.

Knowing he was being playful, Fu Yanci didn’t expose him. Instead, he called Xiang Yang in front of Xiao Bao and arranged to install surveillance cameras around the doors of the mansion’s alleys.

The best would be military-grade high-definition ones.

Then, with a dark expression, he turned away to the front yard to chat with Old Mrs. Fu.

The room grew silent. Xiao Bao lowered his head, staying quiet for a long time.

Ye Li poked his cheek. "What’s wrong?"

Looking up at Ye Li, he seemed to see another tear-streaked face.

Hesitating for a long while, Xiao Bao picked up a pen and scribbled a sentence, pushing the paper to Ye Li.

[Ye Xiaoli, do you believe in telepathy?]

Ye Li’s first instinct was to think of Lin Kerou.

Recalling the call from last night, her expression turned serious as she looked at Xiao Bao. "Did... you see her?"

As though he’d done something wrong, Xiao Bao drooped his head, remaining silent.

He only gripped Ye Li’s hand tightly, as if to say: Ye Xiaoli, please don’t get mad, okay?

Ye Li wasn’t angry.

Only distressed.

Even the children’s rhyme sings: "The only good thing is having a mom; a child with a mom is a jewel, while one without is like grass."

She was 20 years old now, and thinking of her departed father still made her sad and heartbroken.

Let alone Xiao Bao, who was only five.

"What did she say to you?"

Ye Li asked gently.

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Bao slowly picked up the pen.
