"Um, Xiaoli..."
Tan Ningyan looked at Ye Li and asked cautiously, "Did you hear Xiao Bao call Master Fu 'Dad'?"
Ye Li shook her head.
Tan Ningyan then asked, "Then, how did you know about Xiaobao's mother?"
"I don't know."
Ye Li looked completely innocent. "That's why I asked you."
Tan Ningyan: ...
He wanted to tell her the truth so that the young girl wouldn't feel uneasy from guessing and it wouldn't affect her relationship with Master Fu.
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but Tan Ningyan quickly swallowed them back. "Then, what did Master Fu say?"
"I haven't asked him yet."
Ye Li shook her head dejectedly, "I don't know how to bring it up. I'm afraid he'll recall some unpleasant memories and it will affect his mood. I'm also afraid..."
"And I fear he'll become obsessed with the past, only hearing the cries of old lovers but not the laughter of new ones?"
Having blurted out a remark, and seeing Ye Li nodding repeatedly with a knowing look that said, "Sister, you understand me," Tan Ningyan was incredibly glad she hadn't spoken too soon.
Looking back at Fu Yanci, she couldn't help but smile.
Mr. Fu, are you sure you can do this?
In the past, when they gathered together, Gu Lanting and the others would tease him for copying too many scriptures, making him seem like an ascetic monk, completely indifferent to the seven emotions and six desires of the mortal world.
I didn't expect him to be so interesting.
They made it sound so real that they completely fooled the young girl.
Regardless, Master Fu and Ye Li are already married, and he's brought her into his own circle of friends, which means he's already committed to her.
Tan Ningyan decided to help Master Fu.
"Xiao Li, don't blame your sister, this matter... is really hard to explain."
Tan Ningyan said with a troubled expression, "Anyway, Xiaobao's mother was quite ruthless. She left so decisively back then, catching everyone off guard. As for Master Fu... well, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it. Anyway, remember, you are the woman Master Fu rightfully married, you are the rightful Mrs. Fu!"
Well……
Ye Li looked completely bewildered.
I listened, but I didn't understand.
All she wanted to know was why Fu Yanci hadn't ended up with Xiaobao's mother.
And where did Xiaobao's mother go? Why did she so heartlessly abandon Xiaobao?
But Tan Ningyan talked for a long time and not only did she not get to the point, she also confused her.
Ye Li: ...
“Ah Li…”
When Ye Li heard Fu Yanci's voice calling her, she turned around and saw Fu Yanci beckoning to her from the mahjong table, "Come here!"
Ye Li obediently stepped forward, and Fu Yanci got up and pressed her onto the sofa, saying, "You help me play two rounds."
"As expected, you're lucky in love but unlucky in gambling. Mr. Fu, are you really going to the restroom, or are you trying to change your luck with your sister-in-law?"
"Miss Ali, it's alright if you don't know how. Just play whichever card looks the best! If you win, it's your private stash; if you lose, it's Mr. Fu's. Be bold, don't be afraid!"
I wanted to say I wasn't afraid.
I'd also like to ask how much you're betting.
Seeing that the cards had already been arranged, Ye Li quickly grabbed her stacks.
Cheng Yanhuai raised an eyebrow, "Judging from your sister-in-law's stance, she looks like she knows how to fight!"
Lu Xizhou questioned, "Impossible, right? Miss Ali looks very well-behaved. She's probably only seen mahjong, something old men use to pass the time, right?"
Gu Lanting glanced at the neatly arranged row of cards in front of Ye Li and smiled gently, "What cards does Xiao Li want? I'll play them for you!"
Ye Li looked at the cards in her hand without saying a word.
Behind her, Tan Ningyan laughed brightly and arrogantly, "I'm convinced, I'm truly convinced... No wonder Master Fu fell for you, your luck is unparalleled!"
A group of people were confused.
Fu Yanci, who had returned, looked at the pool where not a single card had been played, then at the cards in Ye Li's hand, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
