Chapter 117 Even it out? It's time to settle accounts!



despair!

The car doors were locked, and the carriage was quiet.

The sound of the accelerator starting, which I had been waiting for for a long time, never came.

Ye Li turned around and saw Fu Yanci holding the steering wheel with one hand and looking at her with a smile in his eyes. "Ah Li, are you avoiding me because you're shy, or... afraid of me?"

Is there any difference?

"I didn't!"

Ye Li sat up straight with an air of arrogance and recited Qin Chu's nagging, "We're a legally married couple, it's only natural for you to take care of me, I... what's there to be ashamed of? I just, I just..."

After struggling to come up with a suitable reason for a while, Ye Li's eyes lit up, "I just drank too much last night and I still have some... hangover symptoms."

The man raised an eyebrow slightly, enunciating each word clearly, "Hangover symptoms?"

Very good, that reason... is very much in her style.

Fu Yanci nodded, started the car, and drove away from the hot spring resort.

Saying "I've had too much to drink" seemed to unlock the switch that had enabled him to overcome the embarrassment he had felt all morning.

Thinking that she would be going back to school in the afternoon, and that a week had passed, Ye Li felt a sense of relief as she had almost forgotten about what happened last night.

Back at Lishan Mansion, Ye Li hummed a song as she packed her luggage.

In the living room on the first floor, listening to the light melody coming from upstairs, Fu Yanci's eyes gleamed with a subtle light.

One can already imagine the emptiness and desolation of the villa after Ali left.

Aunt Lan brought over a cup of hot water and handed it to Fu Yanci, looking at him with concern and asking, "Sir, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

After a moment of hesitation, Fu Yanci shook her head. "It's nothing, just drink some hot water."

Aunt Lan looked anxious. "Should we call the doctor to come and take a look?"

Fu Yanci shook his head.

Then I saw Aunt Lan hurry upstairs.

The melody stopped.

The sound of footsteps echoed from the second floor to the first floor, then stopped in front of the sofa.

Ye Li sat down next to Fu Yanci, observing his pale face where she couldn't tell what was wrong, and asked cautiously, "Is it your stomach? Or something else? I'll call the doctor and have him come over."

"Need not."

Reaching out to stop Ye Li from making a phone call, Fu Yanci shook his head, "It's nothing, just an old ailment. You'll be fine after a rest. I'll take you back to school first."

Fu Yanci made a move to get up, but before she could, Ye Li pulled her back down, saying, "I'm not in a hurry, it's still early."

"Fu Yanci, where does it hurt?"

Ye Li carefully observed the man's expression.

Whether it was because men are always fair-skinned and she had never looked closely before, or because he was genuinely unwell and his face was pale, Ye Li reached out and gently pressed, "Does it hurt here? Or here?"

The girl moved gently, her eyes filled with concern like spring water, and wherever she went, flowers bloomed.

Looking at her quietly, Fu Yanci nodded haphazardly.

Ye Li seemed to have made up her mind, and turned to run away, saying, "Then I'll find you some medicine. Fu Yanci, don't move!"

My gaze followed the girl as she expertly found the first-aid kit, then flipped through the instructions and found the right medicine.

Looking down at the two white pills she put into her hand, Fu Yanci suddenly felt a little despicable.

If outsiders knew that the dignified Master Fu would feign illness to deceive a young girl for a moment of tenderness, he would be in trouble.

You'd laugh your teeth out, wouldn't you?

"Eat up!"

She reached out and touched the water glass in his hand to check the temperature, her eyes filled with concern as she urged him on repeatedly.

Fu Yanci sighed inwardly.

Regardless of what kind of medicine it was or what it was for, Fu Yanci tilted his head back and swallowed the medicine.

He looked down at Ye Li and said, "Li, I'm sick, and you're the cure. Tell me, aren't we a perfect match?"

? ? ?

How can someone who's sick still be in the mood to joke?

That means it's not as bad as it seems.

Ye Li wrinkled her nose. "You took care of me last night, and now I'm taking care of you. We're even, okay?"

As soon as she said it, Ye Li was stunned.

My mind was filled with images from last night, and a blush spread from behind my ears.

Ye Li turned and ran away, saying, "Since you're not feeling well, you should rest for a while. I haven't finished packing my things yet..."

His gaze swept across the girl's embarrassed cheek, and Fu Yanci curled his lips into a smile.

Even?

We should be settling accounts!

After putting down his water glass, Fu Yanci got up and followed him.
