After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!
Chapter 425: Sad Kitten or Gentle and Virtuous Mrs. Fu

Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Sad Kitten or Gentle and Virtuous Mrs. Fu

Imperial Capital’s rich family, everyone says Uncle Fu is cold both in demeanor and heart.

Especially those years after Fu Mingzhen died, in order to smoothly take over the Fu Group and Fu Family, Fu Yanci dealt with many things, naturally resulting in many casualties.

Since then, it’s been widely known that the young Uncle Fu is ruthless and unsentimental.

But Ye Li has seen many different sides of Fu Yanci.

Gentle and considerate.

Understanding and insightful.

Clingy and reluctant to let go...

And now, this one, somewhat childish and roguish.

It’s said that humans are rational emotional creatures.

And for two people meeting in the vast sea of humanity, from meeting to knowing to loving, enough time is needed.

But Ye Li thinks, it’s not necessary.

She and Fu Yanci have truly been entangled only since last November, and now it’s the scorching August, barely ten months in total.

Not even a year.

Yet in such a short period of less than a year, she loves every side of him.

Ye Li can already imagine that when she asks those questions, the childish and rogue demeanor on the man’s face would vanish instantly without a trace.

Then he would revert to that calm and composed Uncle Fu.

And then ask her in a deep, cold voice: So, Lady, what do you want to know?

With so many ’whys’, what difference does knowing make?

Li Li is already gone.

Her rationality is clear, apart from getting some cruel yet real answers, breaking the beautifully prosperous false image of the moment.

What else can she gain?

Nothing but losing more than gaining.

Ye Li decided to be unreasonable for once.

"Fu Yanci, yesterday at the ice rink, when Lin Kerou arrived, did you say who she is to you?"

???

Involving Lin Kerou?

Fu Yanci shook his head, "Ah Li, who she is to me, isn’t it clear to you?"

Ye Li nodded, "Yes, I’m clear. But what about Xiao Bao’s classmates’ parents? Are they also clear?"

Fu Yanci was taken aback.

Ye Li glanced at the cell phone in the bedroom where the ringing had just stopped, "The moms are all asking me, since Xiao Bao is Lin Kerou’s son, why are you the one taking care of him? They ask me, is Lin Kerou your ex-wife or ex-girlfriend or something?"

"The moms also said, Lin Kerou looks at you more often than she looks at Xiao Bao, clearly having ulterior motives. However, looking at Uncle Fu’s indifferent attitude, it seems like he doesn’t care either."

"The moms said, although there’s no sign of rekindling old feelings, it’s still necessary to be prepared for a rainy day and be on guard, so I should raise my vigilance."

As Ye Li spoke, Fu Yanci’s face turned three shades darker.

By the time she finished the part about raising vigilance, it seemed as if he would actually do something behind her back in the future.

Fu Yanci’s expression had reached the peak of helplessness.

Yesterday, when Lin Kerou introduced herself as Xiao Bao’s mother, the dads all gave him a look of shock.

Xiao Pang’s Father even blurted out, "Uncle Fu, with her, you guys..."

He didn’t even give Lin Kerou a glance, just said: I have nothing to do with her.

The dads gave a look of "I see," and asked no more.

After all, cooperating with the Fu Group was more important than inquiring about his romantic affairs, which was more worthy of their attention.

But recalling now his calm and composed "I have nothing to do with her," it somehow had a hint of proud but stubborn clarification?

As if, they had some past relationship.

Fu Yanci: ...

Watching Ye Li push him away and walk straight back to the bedroom.

There was always a sense that something was off.

When Fu Yanci caught up, he heard the phone ringing and Wan Mingyi’s bright voice on the other end, "Lizi, we’ve already set off, have you?"

"Mm, going downstairs now, setting off... Are you with Director Xie and them?"

While on the phone and walking downstairs, Ye Li didn’t forget to push her suitcase with one hand.

Behind her, Fu Yanci’s face turned black again.

He, such a living person.

Can she not see him?

Stepping forward a few steps to snatch the suitcase from her hand, and seeing her sitting in the car without any intention of hanging up the phone, the feeling of something being off in Fu Yanci’s mind grew stronger.

But he just couldn’t understand, exactly what was wrong.

"Lizi, what’s wrong with you?"

Wan Mingyi’s anxious voice came from the other end, "Why do I feel like you’re just trying to find things to talk to me about?"

But being in the studio together from morning till night every day really leaves nothing much to say.

"..."

Ye Li sighed, "Fine, see you later then!"

Hanging up the phone, Ye Li looked down and swiped her phone.

[Dear, what are you doing?]

[Friendly match. Busy, MUA...]

[Mom, I’m on a business trip to Mo Du, what are you doing?]

[Xiao Li, good luck! Lady is practicing the piano. Xiao Li, take care of yourself on your business trip, eat on time, and drink more water!]

[Xiaoxiao, the new term is starting soon, how are you doing with your preparations?]

[Busy... Lizi, good luck with the competition! Fighting! I’m going to be busy now, talk later!]

Ye Li: ...

"Ah Li..."

The man’s deep voice sounded in her ear, Ye Li clicked off the phone, then turned back with a gentle smile, "Fu Yanci, during the days I’m on this business trip, you must take good care of yourself! Eat on time, drink more water, and work less overtime!"

The sad little kitten instantly switched to the gentle and virtuous Lady mode.

Fu Yanci’s eyes flickered.

The car stopped in the underground parking lot, watching Fu Yanci turn aside to unbuckle the seatbelt, Ye Li reached out to stop him, "No need to see me off, Sister Mingyi and they have already arrived, I’ll just go meet up with them. Besides..."

Ye Li smiled, "If paparazzi chasing stars catch sight of us, the studio will end up on trending again. The competition is about to start, I don’t want any unexpected incidents."

After the official announcement, Ye Li hung on the trending topics for a long time.

Even the fairness of the "Shining with You" competition was questioned for a while.

It was only after Ye Li won the "Radiant" gold trophy that the previous negative rumors slowly dissipated.

The jewelry competition "Shaoguang" in Mo Du was about to begin, and getting photographs of Fu Yanci at this critical moment wasn’t a good thing for Ye Li and the studio’s contestants.

Fu Yanci sighed, "Then take care of yourself! Tell me if anything comes up immediately!"

"Alright!"

Ye Li nodded, briskly carrying the suitcase away.

She could see her turning back to wave at him from a distance.

With a beaming smile.

But...

No goodbye kiss.

No flamboyant, playful reluctance to part.

Nor any fierce threats that he must think of her every day.

Her forlorn expression sitting dazed on the bed filled his mind.

Fu Yanci remained stunned for a long time before starting the car and driving away swiftly.

In the airport hall, Ye Li couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

The sadness was real.

Not wanting to break that thin window paper was also real.

Just right, with a week-long business trip, she could calm down and reflect a bit.

"Lizi, over here..."

Following the direction of the voice, she saw Wan Mingyi waving at her.

Beside Wan Mingyi was Luo Changchuan in a white T-shirt and jeans, looking like a handsome male celebrity.

Men and women passing by couldn’t help but turn around, their eyes fixed on Luo Changchuan’s face, as if trying to figure out which male celebrity from the entertainment industry he was.

Seeing the sunglasses perched on his nose, Ye Li smiled and walked over.
