After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!
Chapter 481: How sincere are you to Ah Li?

Chapter 481: Chapter 481: How sincere are you to Ah Li?

"Mom, you look so beautiful today!"

Stepping out of the airport, Ye Li headed straight back to Ye Mansion, hoping to surprise her mom, without even making a call.

As soon as she entered, Ye Li saw Li Xueqing, her eyes full of delight.

In a dark-colored cheongsam, a pearl necklace adorning her neck, matching the ones on her wrist.

With makeup on too.

A look that showed she had been out.

Originally worried she might not be in the Imperial City, with the autumn heat ravaging, her mom would definitely be too lazy to go out.

Seeing her now, Ye Li felt genuinely happy.

"You have such a sweet mouth! Where are you coming back from?"

"Bin City... oh, right, Mom, I saw the sea in Bin City. Although the sea breeze is a bit salty, walking barefoot on the beach at night is quite pleasant. Mom, when it gets colder, I’ll book tickets for you and Aunt Lan to visit the sea in Bin City, okay?"

"Sure!"

"Then it’s decided!"

Li Xueqing nodded with a smile.

"Mom, here’s Blood Bird’s Nest, you and Aunt Lan remember to stew and drink it."

With a familiar voice ringing out, as Li Xueqing looked up again, she saw Fu Yanci carrying various gift bags into the kitchen.

Soon, the voices of Aunt Lan and Fu Yanci talking were heard from the kitchen.

Li Xueqing’s chest started to ache again.

A voice was saying: There must be some misunderstanding; you should trust what you see. Look, in just one year, Ah Li has become that warm and lively little sun again, showing that Fu Yanci is truly good to her.

Yet another voice cruelly cold said: What if all this is just an illusion, his kindness to Ah Li is fake? Just a tactic to avenge Fu Minghui? When the Zhou Family company goes bankrupt and the family collapses, how will he treat Ah Li then?

"Mom, what’s wrong?"

The weather still wasn’t cold, yet her mom’s hand felt ice cold.

Noticing her expression, Ye Li asked with concern, "Is something making you uncomfortable?"

"Mom’s fine."

Li Xueqing shook her head with a smile, "Ah Li, are you and Yanci... doing well?"

Recalling the journey, how he had meticulously spoken about the arrangements for visiting dad’s grave in a few days.

Remembering that she said she’d stay home these days to accompany mom, and how he agreed with indulgent helplessness.

Ye Lixiao smiled with her brows lightly arched, "Pretty good."

Feeling a pang, Li Xueqing nodded, "That’s good."

"You sit with Yanci for a while, mom’s going to change clothes and prepare dinner with Aunt Lan."

Patting Ye Li’s hand, Li Xueqing got up and went back to her room.

Ye Li lazily leaned against the sofa.

Footsteps approached, the sofa beside sank, and a familiar scent wafted over.

Ye Li didn’t even open her eyes, her lips curved into a wide arc.

"Tired?"

Fu Yanci glanced at the closed bedroom door of Li Xueqing, slightly furrowing his brow, pulled Ye Li into his arms, and began to massage her, "What’s wrong with mom?"

Every time he came back before, Li Xueqing would always ask various questions about whether he was busy recently.

Her care was evident.

But today, after asking when he entered, she didn’t give him another glance.

She seemed to be in low spirits.

"You noticed too?"

Ye Li opened her eyes, a touch of surprise in them, "Fu Yanci, you’re capable, being such a great son-in-law! No wonder mom can’t stop praising you."

"Really?"

"Of course it’s true, would I lie to you!"

"Ah Li, you’ve lied to me often enough!"

"..."

Outside, I felt full of energy, from morning till night without a hint of tiredness.

But coming home, especially back to Ye Mansion, Ye Li felt as if she turned into a piece of clay, wanting to spread out and not wanting to move at all.

Directing Fu Yanci to carry her back to her room and changing into comfortable loungewear, Ye Li lay down on the bed, enjoying the Fu Family massage from Fu Yanci.

After dinner, sending off Fu Yanci, Ye Li, with Li Xueqing on one side and Aunt Lan on the other, the three of them strolled around the villa area for a long while and then returned home.

After bathing and crawling into bed, Ye Li fell asleep instantly.

Attending classes by day.

Returning to Ye Mansion by night.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The sun rose, Ye Li turned off the alarm, quickly freshened up and changed into a little black dress.

By the time Ye Li went downstairs, Fu Yanci had already arrived.

Black shirt, black suit, his naturally handsome features highlighted by a particularly deep and reserved aura.

As Li Xueqing stepped out of her bedroom, the group headed out and got into the car, the convoy driving straight to the cemetery.

"Dad, I’m here with mom, Aunt Lan, and Fu Yanci. We came to see you..."

The sun rose, the air carrying a slight chill.

Ye Li took the flowers from Fu Yanci’s hand, placed them before the tombstone, and together with Li Xueqing, wiped the tomb clean.

Aunt Lan said she would take good care of Li Xueqing and never leave the Ye Family, asking Ye Mushen to be at ease.

Fu Yanci also promised he would take good care of Li Xueqing and Ye Li, requesting their father-in-law not to worry.

After Ye Li finished speaking, the three of them moved far off, leaving space for Li Xueqing.

From afar, unable to hear what Li Xueqing was saying, but seeing her occasionally bow to wipe her tears, showed she was reminiscing about dad again.

Mom is only 50, many decades are ahead.

With the deep love between her and dad, her latter years might just end up like this.

Living alone with the longing for dad for decades.

Just the thought of it felt lonely and cruel.

Ye Li blinked away the urge to cry, looking up at Fu Yanci, "Fu Yanci, we must both be doing well, okay?"

"Okay!"

Fu Yanci nodded, wiped away the tears at Ye Li’s eye corner, promisingly said, "Ah Li, don’t worry! I will..."

"Yanci!"

A voice called out from afar.

Turning his head, Fu Yanci saw Li Xueqing waving by the tombstone, "Come over here."

Seeing Ah Li push Fu Yanci forward, Li Xueqing softly spoke, "Ah Li, the wind’s picking up, take Aunt Lan to wait in the car."

Ye Li paused mid-step.

Clearly, mom had something to say to Fu Yanci.

Not only to say it before dad’s grave but also without letting her hear.

???

Confused, Ye Li was still in a daze as Fu Yanci strode forward.

Ye Li’s arm was held by Aunt Lan, "Miss, let’s go to the car first."

Watching Ye Li walking away and looking back with every step.

Then looking at Fu Yanci approaching.

Li Xueqing’s eyes swelled with warmth.

Wanting to ask him, was the bankruptcy of the Ye Family your doing?

Also wanting to ask, was marrying Ah Li a way to avenge the Zhou Family? How sincere are you towards Ah Li?

The sun reached the zenith, its light painfully sharp.

Thinking that what has happened cannot be undone, and the cost of breaking ties is that her Ah Li would no longer have a peaceful and happy life.

Li Xueqing pinched her palm hard.

"Yanci, mom wants a promise."

Li Xueqing said in a deep voice, "No matter what happened before, it’s all in the past now. Since you’ve married Ah Li, you must treat her well from now on. Before Ah Li’s dad, give me a promise!"
