“Ah Li…”
The phone rang once and then connected. The voice on the other end was magnetic and urgent, "I really know I was wrong, please don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"
"Alright. I'll reluctantly forgive you this time, and we'll see how you behave in the future."
"Okay... Ali, I missed you!"
With lightning speed, Ye Li turned off the speakerphone and, her cheeks flushed, gave Lu Xiaoxiao a look that said, "See? See? I wasn't wrong. It really was just a little awkwardness."
After giving an OK sign, Lu Xiaoxiao put on her headphones and went to listen to her listening practice with a relieved look on her face.
Ye Li took her phone and snuggled into the beanbag chair.
"Ali, tomorrow is Friday, I'll pick you up, okay?"
"No. If I say I won't go home, I won't go home. My parents have always taught me to be honest and keep my word. Once a promise is made, it's like water spilled; there's no way to take it back."
"...Well, we still need to eat, right? Let's have lunch together, then go shopping for a while, and after dinner I'll take you back to your dorm, okay?"
"..."
Ye Li sighed helplessly, "Fu Yanci, you don't really think I'm not going back because I'm angry with you, do you? Heaven can bear witness, I'm genuinely preparing for my final exams!"
There was silence on the other end of the line, and even without seeing the man, one could tell that his expression was displeased.
Ye Li's voice softened, "Anyway, next Wednesday will be here soon, just pretend it's..."
Glancing at Lu Xiaoxiao, Ye Li said softly into her phone, "Fu Yanci, just consider this a vacation for you, so you can enjoy the pleasures of being single."
You can go out and play cards and drink with your friends.
You can also go back to the Fu family's old house to paint and build Lego with Xiaobao.
The joys of being single are something you deserve!
"Ah Li, I don't want a holiday, and I don't want to have this kind of fun!"
The man's voice was cold and deep, "Let's have dinner together! This is my final compromise! Otherwise... Ali, if you insist on sticking to your principles and not changing your mind, then I don't mind going to Starry Apartment, packing you up and carrying you away. Anyway, you've already officially announced it at Imperial University, so I'm not exactly shameful. How about it?"
!!
Just imagining a man carrying her out of the apartment building, surrounded by a huge crowd of onlookers, made Ye Li's hair stand on end.
Fearing that Fu Yanci might change his mind and demand even more, they were afraid that he would take an inch and then a mile.
After all, he has a dark past.
Every time they say it's just this once, or the last time, and then... it goes on and on, endlessly.
Ye Li responded quickly, "Okay!"
Hearing the girl relent, Fu Yanci's voice softened a bit, "Ali, see you tomorrow!"
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yanci pushed open the door and entered.
Aunt Lan came out to greet him, her voice gentle, "Would you like something to eat, sir?"
"No……"
Fu Yanci shook his head, looked up at Aunt Lan and said, "Aunt Lan, after you pack your change of clothes, I'll have the driver take you to the hospital. From now on, you'll be in charge of taking care of and looking after Aunt Li's mother."
Thinking she had been fired, Aunt Lan was stunned and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the kitchen.
Then Fu Yanci said in a deep voice, "Once A-Li's mother has fully recovered, you will all move back to the Ye family villa together. I will pay you double your previous salary. As for the Ye family, things will remain the same as before, so please take good care of them."
"How can this be?"
Aunt Lan understood and looked terrified. "Master Fu, this is inappropriate!"
Fu Yanci's expression was gentle. "Aunt Lan, now that I've married Ali, I'm a son-in-law of the Ye family. Her family is my family, there's nothing inappropriate about it! If you have no objections, then let's do it this way from now on!"
Having worked for the Ye family for many years, Aunt Lan and Li Xueqing were nominally mistress and servant, but in reality, they were as close as sisters.
Whenever Fu Yanci took Ali out to play, or when they were going to stay overnight at the old house instead of returning to Lishan Mansion, Aunt Lan would go to the hospital to take care of Li Xueqing.
She was initially worried that Fu Yanci would think she was loyal to one side but not to the other, but unexpectedly, she has now received a pleasant surprise.
"Thank you, Master Fu!"
Moved, Aunt Lan took off her apron, hung it back up, and hurriedly went back to pack her things.
The driver took Aunt Lan to the hospital.
The door closed, and the villa was quiet inside and out.
Fu Yanci lowered his eyes, looking down at the door to the master bedroom on the second floor.
The joys of being single?
Only a fool would want that!
