After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!
Chapter 424: She is Avoiding Him

Chapter 424: Chapter 424: She is Avoiding Him

A black-and-white toned photograph.

In the photo, a short-haired girl sits by the bay window, quietly watching the snowflakes fall outside.

The girl who should be lively is quiet.

The snow that should have been silent seems to fall slowly.

The earth is quiet.

Even her heartbeat seems to slow down involuntarily.

An overwhelming sense of tranquility.

The girl faces the window, only her short hair and chin are visible, and there’s not even a blurred shadow on the window.

Ye Li stared blankly.

Is it...Li Li?

Ye Li knows that if she just clicks on the photo to restore it, she could trace back to the original folder in the computer.

In this way, maybe she would see more pictures.

There couldn’t possibly be only this one photo of the girl in Fu Yanci’s computer. Then, she could see the girl’s side face, front face.

And then, she would know who she is.

The mouse lightly clicked the right button, and looking at the "Restore" in the menu, Ye Li suddenly clicked permanently delete.

This is Pandora’s box.

Once opened, there’s no going back, right?

Fu Yanci doesn’t know she already knows there’s a first love in his heart.

Even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t ask.

If she doesn’t ask, he doesn’t say, there remains a vague veil between them.

If it’s not broken, she’s still Mrs. Fu.

The Ye Family will be fine.

She can also protect Chu Chu.

And him, whether he knows or not, Li Li is already dead, he would always deceive himself to hide it strictly, thinking she is unaware.

Whether she is Ah Li or a substitute for Ah Li.

By his side, it’s always her.

The agreement clearly states he will give her everything of Mrs. Fu’s.

This way, it’s enough.

Ye Li, don’t be greedy, this is enough!

Bang!

Ye Li shut down the computer.

As if pursued by evil spirits, Ye Li hurriedly walked back to the bedroom.

Sitting on the bed, her body felt exhausted and weak.

Why?

Why does it have to be like this?

Ye Li always felt she was the one favored by the goddess of luck.

Before 20, her parents loved her, and her best friend was like a sister.

Her studies weren’t outstanding, but at least it was her dream, and she pursued it passionately.

Even when the Ye Family went bankrupt overnight, it hadn’t reached the worst case. Fu Yanci, like a deity, descended from the heavens, rescuing her and the Ye Family.

Then, she smoothly made her way to today.

But since that glimpse at West Mountain Cemetery, things seemed out of control.

First were those two emails.

Then this photograph.

It’s like even God couldn’t stand it anymore, thinking her life was too perfect and set some difficulties to challenge her.

A box filled with colorful candies suddenly mixed in a weird-flavored candy from Hogwarts.

That weird candy might taste like snot, might taste like earwax.

Of course, it might also taste like sweet and sour lemon.

And now, Ye Li doesn’t know what flavor she got.

Ye Li suddenly thought of at a party in the Palace of Versailles, learning he is the CEO of Lixin Capital.

She asked him, Fu Yanci, how many little secrets do you still have that I don’t know?

At the time, how did he answer her?

He said: Ah Li, a lot more.

A lot indeed.

That’s right, having many is normal.

After all, he and Li Li were together for so many years, much longer than with her.

He is the vice president of Fu Group.

She is the special assistant by the president’s side.

He and she must have had many sweet or memorable moments, right?

Not to mention, Li Li’s name was given by him.

Maybe before Li Li joined Fu Group, they were already...

Ye Li, stop thinking.

You can’t think of it anymore!

Forcing herself to regain composure from her imagination, Ye Li exhaled lowly, adjusting her breath.

Sigh...

"Ah Li..."

When the man’s voice sounded, Ye Li suddenly looked up to see Fu Yanci standing at the door.

His gaze was puzzled.

But his expression was gentle.

Fu Yanci asked in a deep voice, "Ah Li, what’s wrong?"

Usually, when he came home, the moment he stepped in, before he could even put the car keys in the glass jar on the entrance cabinet, the girl’s cheerful voice would ring from the bedroom door, or somewhere else.

Fu Yanci, you’re back!

The crisp, charming voice, as if she had been waiting for him at home for a long time.

Just hearing that would exponentially improve his mood.

But today, even as he reached the bedroom door, her head remained lowered.

Looking desolate and lost in thought.

Not knowing what she was thinking.

The large bedroom was filled with a faint sadness, which vanished without a trace the moment she raised her head.

"Huh? Oh...nothing!"

Ye Li shook her head, stood up, looked around, closed the suitcase lying on the ground, "Why did you come back? Didn’t I say you didn’t have to pick me up... Just wait a bit, I’ll change clothes and be ready!"

Pushing the suitcase to the wall, Ye Li hurried into the dressing room.

Fu Yanci’s gentle expression gradually turned cold.

She’s avoiding him!

Part of him blamed it on the period, after all, during the physiological period, girls’ hormones make them emotionally unstable.

It was also written like this in books.

But another part felt she was indeed avoiding him.

"Ah Li, did something happen?"

The man’s voice came closer, Ye Li changed clothes by herself, not looking at him.

Just shaking her head, her voice pretending to be relaxed, "No. Really nothing..."

"Ah Li!"

He helped her pull up the zipper on her back, Fu Yanci turned her to face him, looking into her eyes, "Back then, you told me, if there’s anything unhappy, we should talk it through, explain misunderstandings promptly. That’s what you said, right?"

"Yes!"

"Then what’s wrong with you?"

The man’s eyes were nervous, fearing she was really angry but not knowing why.

For a moment, Ye Li almost blurted out the tens of thousands of questions in her heart.

Fu Yanci, why did you go to pay respects to Li Li?

Is it really just because her anniversary coincides with your brother’s, and it was on the way?

Why are you so captivated by the call of Yanci brother, is it because Li Li also used to call you like that, right?

And the photo on your computer, it’s Li Li, isn’t it?

The marriage agreement back then, you meticulously drafted it for me.

Because only I could naturally call you Ah Li without anyone noticing.

Though Li Li died, so it didn’t matter whom you married, so you forbade me from mentioning divorce.

Fu Yanci, is that it?

Fu Yanci, the one you truly love is Li Li, isn’t it?

Reason and emotion battled each other, and the line in Ye Li’s heart wavered, about to break.

"Fu Yanci, I..."

She hadn’t even decided which to ask first when the phone in the bedroom rang.

"I’ll take a call first!"

Breathing out in one go, Ye Li moved past him, only to be tightly pulled into his arms by the man, "No way!"

"Ah Li, unless we clear this up, you won’t even get past the bedroom door today, believe it or not?"

An angry man, his eyebrows carried a childish pout.

Ye Li paused, "Alright..."
