The capital city was still very cold in January, especially at night. A gust of cold wind seemed to blow away a person's hair, scalp, and soul.
Ye Li huddled on the curb in front of the hospital, looking at her phone and watching the traffic, as if she were waiting for a car.
Fu Yanci's jawline was taut.
Ye Li was still looking on expectantly.
Out of the corner of her eye, a black Mercedes slowly reversed and pulled up beside her.
Just as Ye Li was about to move aside, the passenger window slowly rolled down, and Xiang Yang respectfully called out, "Madam, please get in the car."
Ye Li glanced subconsciously at the rear window.
You can see out from inside, but you can't see in from outside.
Ye Li blinked, shook her numb head, and opened the back door with a whoosh.
She met the man's displeased expression.
? ? ?
Are you angry?
He was angry that she came to the hospital without telling him?
Or is it that someone in the company is unreliable?
He glanced back at Xiang Yang and saw that the other man was staring straight ahead, acting as if he was just a driver who hadn't seen or heard anything.
Ye Li: ...
Without even sitting down, Ye Li snuggled into Fu Yanci's arms, "Honey, it's so cold!"
Fu Yanci paused, looked down, and met the girl's pale face.
"Ye Li..."
The man's voice was cold and deep, "Your man is dead, isn't he? Didn't you know to call the hospital if there was anything wrong? Didn't you know to call me? Don't you have the driver's number?"
He blinked, then belatedly realized that he was angry because he saw her suffering from the cold on the roadside.
Ye Li smiled, her eyes crinkling, and took advantage of the situation to sit in his lap. "Oh, don't be angry... I was just thinking that Master Fu is already busy enough with his work, and I didn't want you to have to work so hard for me after get off work."
“If I call the driver, I'll still have to wait for him. Maybe a nearby Didi driver will arrive faster. Besides, it's not my fault…”
The girl rubbed her nose. "The hospital entrance is usually the easiest place to get a taxi, with long queues every day. I never expected there wouldn't be a single one today."
Ye Li reached her hands along Fu Yanci's open coat to his arms, and pressed her cold face against the crook of Fu Yanci's neck. "Fu Yanci, you really can't blame me!"
A cool, fragrant embrace.
A soft, sweet voice.
The girl, like a kitten who had torn his shirt and then clung to his trouser leg, begged for a hug.
Fu Yanci's anger vanished without a trace in an instant.
With a deep sigh, Fu Yanci reached out and pulled the girl into his arms, his voice still cold and deep, "You've chilled my wife. Tell me, how should I punish you?"
Punishment...?
Ye Li was taken aback.
The man asked, "Going back where?"
"Go back..."
The moment before the word "school" slipped out of her mouth, she met his dark, deep eyes, as if he were about to punish her for daring to get off the bus and leave him.
In this critical moment, Ye Li had a moment of cleverness. "Then... let's go home? Can you get up early tomorrow morning to take me home?"
"good."
Fu Yanci responded and lowered his head to kiss Ye Li's forehead.
The car, which had been freezing cold like an ice age a moment ago, was suddenly bathed in sunshine and spring had returned. In the driver's seat, Xiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief: the crisis was over!
The car drove straight to Lishan Mansion and stopped in front of the villa half an hour later.
Ye Li became nervous as soon as she entered the bedroom.
Her mind was filled with Fu Yanci's words about punishing her.
How does he plan to punish her?
Should we tie them up?
Or should we confine her to the bathroom sink?
The water in the bathtub was starting to get cold, and Ye Li still hadn't figured out how to make him punish her less severely.
When Bai Xiaoli nervously said, "You didn't do anything wrong and you've already explained it clearly, haven't you?" Ye Li suddenly came to her senses.
Yes, she didn't do anything wrong, so why punish her?
With her head held high and chest out, Ye Li stepped out of the bathroom with a confident air.
When Fu Yanci's domineering and fierce kiss left her breathless, Ye Li angrily bit him back.
