Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Really Want to Pounce on Him and Bite?

Ye Li froze.

So did Fu Yanci.

Before him was a girl with wide eyes, her panicked face unable to react.

In his mind were memories of Monday morning at the gates of Imperial University, that kiss tinged with the scent of milk.

Though it was merely a peck, light as a dragonfly touching water, all his senses had converged on his lips at that moment, capturing the unique soft, sweet warmth that belonged to the girl.

Now, that familiar feeling surged once again.

Before Fu Yanci could react, Ye Li came back to her senses, lowered her head, and shrank away.

The thudding heartbeat could be his or hers, he wasn’t sure.

All Ye Li knew was that Fu Yanci was holding his breath above her.

Yet even so, she could still feel his heavy gaze upon her.

Could he possibly think that she had turned around intentionally to seduce him?

"Fu Yanci..."

Trying to ease the awkwardness, Ye Li asked softly, "What were you going to say?"

He had intended to lean in and expose her feigned sleep, making her turn around.

He hadn’t expected such an accident.

With a firm hand, Fu Yanci turned around properly and looked back at Ye Li, "Ye Li, can you tell me why you are angry?"

Ye Li looked up.

Fu Yanci said solemnly, "Is it because you think you don’t sing well, and I, having clearly heard you, said nothing, letting you embarrass yourself inside and then mocked you once you came out?"

"You..."

The thought that he had actually heard and had indeed done so made Ye Li forget what had just happened in that instant.

Suddenly sitting up, her cheeks flushed, Ye Li glared at Fu Yanci, "Didn’t you laugh? I saw it!"

She hated that she hadn’t recorded it with her phone just then, feeling infuriated.

Then she saw a hint of a smile in Fu Yanci’s eyes.

Still laughing???

She wanted to pounce on him and bite him!

Ye Li bit her lip.

She saw the smile on Fu Yanci’s face deepening, "Ah Li, how can you be so cute?"

???

Ye Li was taken aback.

Fu Yanci toned down his smile, his eyes tenderly looking at her, "I had just laid down and picked up the tablet when you came out. I didn’t hear a single word, I swear!"

Saying this, he raised a hand, "If I’m lying, may I never earn a penny again."

For a businessman like Uncle Fu, not earning money could almost be considered a colossal punishment.

Ye Li blinked, subconsciously feeling a sigh of relief.

Then she saw Fu Yanci laugh, "It’s because you started explaining how well you sing, I guessed it... The reason I laughed was because you unintentionally confessed, thinking Mrs. Fu adorably off the charts, with no intention of mocking you."

"Ah Li, are you satisfied with this explanation?"

His eyes sincere.

Ah Li, over and over.

Just as Ye Li finally managed to calm her beating heart, it began to race again.

Recalling the moment just before when he hadn’t said anything, and she had gotten angry without being able to explain herself clearly.

Ye Li suddenly felt that her previously furious self, who had been kicking shoes and turning off lights, was inexplicably ridiculous.

"That’s good then!"

Doggedly, she dropped that line, turned around, pulled the covers, all in one fluid motion, "Good night!"

"But, I haven’t finished talking."

Fu Yanci’s deep voice came from behind her.

Ye Li: ...

Wanting to preempt him, was he unable to say everything at once?

Yet feeling she was just being unreasonable.

Ye Li sighed resignedly and turned to face Fu Yanci, "What else?"
