Chapter 56: Dad’s Shadow

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Dad’s Shadow

"Ah Li, once we’re married, we’ll be husband and wife. You wouldn’t want to always guess what I’m thinking, why I’m angry, or anything else, right?"

Lowering his head to look at the girl’s clear eyes, Fu Yanci patiently said, "Let’s not keep guessing. If you’re unhappy, just tell me, alright? If it’s my fault, I’ll be more careful next time!"

She somehow saw her father’s shadow in Fu Yanci.

Her father, with a stern face, spoke gently when angry: "Ah Li, you can get angry, but you need to tell Dad why. If it’s something Mom and Dad did wrong, we’ll apologize. We need to learn to communicate with those around us, to learn to alleviate our bad moods, okay?"

Staring at Fu Yanci, Ye Li nodded, "Okay!"

Suddenly, she wanted to go back to the past and tell her father, "Then when you feel overwhelmed, you should also tell me, I’m not a child anymore."

If she had realized sooner that her father was sick, could she have prevented losing him?

If her father were still here, the Ye Family wouldn’t have gone bankrupt, and her mother wouldn’t have fallen ill.

Their family of three would still be alright.

Dad, I miss you so much!

Her eyes reddened in an instant. Ye Li bowed her head and whispered, "Fu Yanci, I want to go to sleep."

Just moments ago, she was still lively and exasperated.

In the blink of an eye, her mood had plummeted.

His gaze slid over her reddened eyes, and Fu Yanci frowned slightly, "Okay!"

Click!

The bedside lamp was turned off, plunging the room into darkness.

Ye Li bowed her head, wiping the tears at the corner of her eyes into the blanket, and gently sniffed.

When the man’s body came closer, Ye Li’s body stiffened for a moment.

The next instant, the man’s long arms enveloped her, pulling her into his embrace, and a soft kiss landed on the back of her head, "Ah Li, good night!"

Ah Li, I am here!

Ah Li, good night!

Ah Li...

Ye Li was dazed, forgetting the sorrow about her father and her nervousness about their first night, her ears and heart filled only with Fu Yanci’s gentle call of "Ah Li."

Wrapped in his arms, the warmth from his body seeped through the layers of fabric to her.

His unique faint sandalwood scent tickled her nose.

Peaceful and quiet.

Her mind fuzzy, Ye Li didn’t even know when she fell asleep.

The girl’s tense body gradually relaxed, and after a while, as naturally as before, she turned over, clinging tightly to him like a tendril.

Her forehead was just at his chin, a simple tilt of his head could kiss her brow.

But Fu Yanci dared not move.

Any movement brought back the rush of that unexpected kiss, instantly exciting his already restless brain.

Her arms and legs wrapped around him, the skin she touched felt as if it were a piece of iron dropped into a pile of cotton, made all the harder by that soft lining.

The blood in his body seemed to rush downward, and a certain part slowly rose.

Yet, the faint fragrance from her body gently wove into his breath.

Like the best catalyst.

Painfully hard, yet his body dared not move.

In the lonely night, Fu Yanci was filled with profound emotions.

"Ah Li..."

His palm burned hot as he held her tight, wanting to meld that softness into his body.

The next moment, he realized the sleeping girl had whimpered, "Daddy..."

!!!

His body stiffened, and after a brief moment of shock, Fu Yanci’s eyes filled with helpless resignation.
