Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Time and Again, My Heart Flutters

Lin Kerou hasn’t been feeling very happy lately.

It’s been more than half a year since she returned to the Imperial City.

Because of her personality, since she was very young, she has always been an extremely proactive person.

Be it in study or work, as long as she wants to achieve something, she would set clear goals and proceed step by step, constantly pushing herself.

But Xiao Bao is the only exception.

According to her plan, as long as she consistently shows her guilt and care every day for 30 days, at most in three months, Xiao Bao’s attitude should soften.

If she could just take one more step forward, one day, she could bring Xiao Bao back to her side.

By then, whether it’s Fu Yanci or anything else, it will all be within her grasp.

It’s just a matter of time.

But Lin Kerou didn’t expect that there would be a huge deviation from the very first step of the plan.

Half a year has passed, and Xiao Bao’s attitude towards her has hardly changed.

And looking at it, Ye Li is close to graduating from university.

Any woman, if given a chance to get close to Fu Yanci, would stop at nothing to bind him, to secure everything once and for all.

Not to mention Ye Li also has the title of Mrs. Fu.

If she weren’t still in university, Ye Li might already be pregnant by now.

By then, it would be too late for anything.

There has been no progress on Xiao Bao’s front.

Ye Li is also watertight on her end.

Thinking about how things would become increasingly unfavorable for her, Lin Kerou, who initially planned to persist, started to feel uneasy.

They say true feelings are shown in adversity.

Fu Yanci and Ye Xiaoli held Xiao Bao so tightly that she didn’t even get a chance to show herself.

But what if... something unexpected happened?

Uncle Fu, with his influence and reach, would surely have a time of oversight.

Ye Li juggles her studies and career, and her kindness to Xiao Bao is just to show Fu Yanci.

If something really happened to Xiao Bao, she might not make it in time.

By then, Xiao Bao would surely see who truly cares about her.

The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She glanced at the clock on the wall; it was morning over there.

Lin Kerou picked up her phone and made a call.

Ring.

Ring ring.

"Hi, honey..."

An acquaintance’s voice sounded on the other end. Lin Kerou stepped forward, looked out at the rich night, and said, "Five million, a game, want to play?"

Who knows what was said on the other end, but a smile slowly spread across Lin Kerou’s face.

In the master bedroom on the second floor of Lishan Mansion, Fu Yanci grabbed Ye Li’s hand and bit her ear lobe, "Ah Li, you know, some things don’t necessarily have to be done for real."

Originally touching his chest muscles and then poking his abs, Ye Li instantly didn’t dare to move anymore.

She just looked at the schedule in the tablet, expressing her dissatisfaction, "Do you have to be on a business trip for so long?"

Fu Yanci has to leave on a business trip next week.

A week in Munich.

Two days in Paris.

Including the time spent on the road, Fu Yanci won’t be in the Imperial City from late September to early October.

And during her National Day holiday, she has to visit several places.

Jia He’s fashion show is split into six events.

The first one is in the Imperial City, the second one in Mo Du.

The subsequent ones are in several first-tier and new first-tier cities.

As Ye Li’s Studio’s first commercial collaboration, Ye Li, as the boss, definitely has to follow the whole process.

Calculated this way, she and Fu Yanci won’t see each other for almost a month.

Her eyes wandered back and forth on the schedule. Fu Yanci lowered his head and kissed Ye Li’s forehead, "I’ll come back as soon as I finish, I’ll try to return early."

Ye Li nodded and pointed at Paris on the schedule, "What are you going to Paris for?"

The week in Munich, every day was detailed to the specific time.

At what time and where to meet which CEO.

At what time to eat, or whatever.

But those two days in Paris were left blank.

"A private meeting."

His eyes flickered slightly, Fu Yanci said gently, "Whether it can be arranged depends on the other’s schedule. If they’re not available, I’ll go straight back to the Imperial City from Munich."

"Oh."

In the Imperial City, he is Uncle Fu of the Fu Group, above all others.

Abroad, he is still the mysterious founder of Lixin Capital, as rare as a dragon.

Ye Li didn’t think much of it, nodded, and hummed as she turned over.

In the past, every month, Aunt Flo was very kind to her, without any warning.

But this time, perhaps she drank too much cold beverages this month, or because she was too tired from running around for competitions and didn’t rest well.

It felt like there was a little hammer in her abdomen, banging here and there, extremely uncomfortable.

The painkillers did nothing at all.

Seeing Fu Yanci looking with a black face, his expression full of heartache yet helplessness.

Ye Li reached out and poked his face, "Okay, I’m fine... Just rub my belly for me, and I won’t hurt anymore."

"Really?"

He felt that the girl was deliberately comforting him.

But partly believed it might be true.

After all, during those few days each month, she was always eager to come home.

At night, she wouldn’t mind him being like a furnace, obediently snuggling in his arms, sleeping in a well-behaved posture.

Even though she’d never admit in the morning, that it’s her who moves his hand onto her tummy.

But Fu Yanci felt it must have some effect.

Quickly taking a shower, Fu Yanci brought back a minty freshness to bed, pulling the girl over, and his palm slid under her nightgown, resting on her slightly cool tummy.

Perhaps the painkillers started working.

Or maybe his massage did.

In just a little while, Ye Li relaxed her frowning brows and fell asleep.

There was no class in the first period; Ye Li had set the alarm nice and early, so she enjoyed a long, relaxed sleep.

She slept until she naturally woke up, opened her eyes, and found the space next to her empty.

Thinking Fu Yanci must have gone to the company, Ye Li lingered in bed for a while.

As she prepared to get up to shower and freshen up, she heard faint voices from downstairs.

Ye Li got up and opened the door.

"Mom, are you sure brown sugar ginger tea works? I googled it, and it says it’s not as effective as hot water, just psychological comfort..."

The phone was on the kitchen counter, and Fu Yanci was rummaging through the overhead storage cabinet.

Various seasonings were laid out across the table until he finally found a jar of brown sugar.

On the other end of the call, Li Xueqing’s voice was full of laughter, "Then what should we do? She’s never been in pain before, and Aunt Lan just made her soups to drink. How about I let Aunt Lan make some hot soup and bring it over?"

"No need..."

Fu Yanci put the brown sugar back and continued rummaging through the cupboards, "I’ll cook her bird’s nest with rock sugar."

"Oh, good, good..."

Even through the phone, one could imagine her mom’s smiling face.

Ye Li leaned against the door, watching Fu Yanci search for things while looking up recipes on the phone, her eyes curved into crescents.

The air was inexplicably quiet.

Yet a faint fragrance drifted down from above.

Fu Yanci paused and instinctively turned around to see the girl smiling obediently.

His Ah Li, with her hair all messy.

Yet her eyes sparkled with her smile.

He had no idea what she was smiling about.

"Fu Yanci, why didn’t you go to work?"

"Ah Li, do you want bird’s nest with rock sugar?"

Four eyes met, and both spoke in unison.

Then, their smiles broadened.

The sun was shining brightly outside the floor-to-ceiling window; dressed in a cream-colored home outfit, Fu Yanci stood in the kitchen, appearing to glow.

Ye Li felt like she heard that fluttering sound in her heart again.

It felt like... the sound of flowers blooming.

Even though they were already married.

Even though their first anniversary was approaching.

But undeniably, this man always made her heart skip a beat, time after time.

Fu Yanci, I really... like you so, so much!
