As darkness fell, the man standing under the eaves was enveloped in a large shadow.
His demeanor became increasingly cold and aloof.
Ye Li suddenly understood why he wanted to marry her.
Over the years, I've heard countless secrets and rumors in the industry, but I've never heard of Fu Yanci ever getting married.
Therefore, that young master must be an illegitimate child.
He is Master Fu, who has an illegitimate child and a less-than-stellar reputation.
She was a penniless, bankrupt heiress with a mentally unstable mother.
He has money, but he lacks love.
She had no money, but she had plenty of love.
Yes, they are indeed a perfect match!
“Fu Yanci…”
Ye Li ran cheerfully to Fu Yanci's side, looked up at him and said, "I promised Grandmother that I would treat you well. Don't worry, since you don't dislike me, I won't dislike you either. From now on, let's be good to each other, okay?"
Fu Yanci stared at Ye Li without saying a word.
Is there anything about him that is worth disliking?
Although she didn't know what had happened, the girl's smile was bright, as if the pressure she was under had lessened considerably, and she wasn't as afraid of him as before.
His gaze swept over her eyes, which shone like stars, and Fu Yanci nodded, "Okay!"
I originally planned to go back to Lishan Mansion after dinner.
But at dinner, Fu Yanci changed his mind.
"Grandmother, the cook in the old house must have been an imperial chef, right? The food is so delicious, especially this braised pork... You should try it!"
If Ye Li at the Lishan Mansion dining table is an elegant young lady from a wealthy family, then the Ye Li beside me at this moment is like a little gluttonous cat possessed by a foodie.
She praised the old house's cook to the skies, making her grandmother eat an extra half bowl of rice. She tasted it herself, served some to her grandmother, and also added a bite for him.
"Fu Yanci, do you like sweet and sour dishes? Sweet and sour pork ribs are absolutely amazing, you should try them!"
"Wow, Mapo Tofu is a soul-satisfying treat! Quick, quick, have a bite..."
"Stir-fried cabbage with vinegar is delicious too!"
As she put down her chopsticks, she met Old Madam Fu's smiling gaze, which seemed to see through everything.
Fu Yanci coughed lightly, "The roads are slippery from the snow, so we won't be going back tonight. Grandmother, tomorrow Ali and I will get up early and accompany you to Mingfenglou for morning tea."
"well……"
Madam Fu's eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled.
Ye Li stared blankly at Fu Yanci.
Ah Li.
He called her Ah Li.
When the Ye family was still around, that's how her parents called her.
Dad is gone.
Mom has gone mad.
Ye Li couldn't even remember the last time someone called her Ali.
Ah, no, I remember.
In my dream last night, my mother kept holding me and saying: "Ali, don't be afraid!"
When I came to my senses, I realized that my grandmother had already passed away.
When she met Fu Yanci's gaze, she realized that she had been staring at him blankly and had been caught red-handed.
Ye Li quickly lowered her eyes and followed him out of the restaurant.
As dusk approached, the sky began to darken.
The thought of going back to the bedroom so early made the two of them stare at each other, and the awkwardness increased exponentially. Ye Li racked her brains to find a topic to talk about.
"Fu Yanci, shall we go for a stroll in the back garden?"
"Aren't you cold?"
"...That's true. Fu Yanci, don't you go to your study to work or something?"
"It's the weekend today."
"...A study doesn't necessarily have to be for working, right? You still have a child to spend time with, go and be with him, I'm fine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Before Ye Li could react, Fu Yanci had already turned around.
I got nervous and slipped.
Bang!
Ye Li, her mouth slightly open, threw herself into Fu Yanci's arms.
