I could hear Aunt Lan opening the refrigerator.
I could still hear my mother and Aunt Lan talking.
Ye Li felt both embarrassed and angry, fearing that they might walk out of the kitchen at any moment.
Meeting the man's mocking gaze, Ye Li gritted her teeth in anger, lowered her head, and bit his neck.
hiss……
Taking a deep breath, Fu Yanci met the girl's angry gaze and curled his lips into a smile, "Ali, this is the price you pay for not coming home!"
? ? ?
Ye Li was taken aback.
The man smiled and hugged her tightly. "Haven't you heard that people only think about something constantly when they lack it?"
Once I've hugged and kissed enough, I'll stop doing this, won't I?
I understood the meaning behind Fu Yanci's words.
Ye Li: ...! !!
“Ah Li…”
The call came from the kitchen, and Fu Yanci abruptly let go.
Ye Li jumped up.
Li Xueqing did not appear, but her voice came from afar, "Bring the fruit platter over. If you are hungry, have a few bites first. The meal will be ready soon."
"They're here!"
With her face flushed, Ye Li glared at Fu Yanci before leaving.
He returned, placed the fruit platter in Fu Yanci's lap, and sat down on the other side, quite a distance away.
Fu Yanci: ...
Looking up again, I saw the girl waving her phone. "You tampered with my mom's phone?"
Fu Yanci nodded, "She can only call your father, you, and Aunt Lan."
Ye Li suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Dinner was exceptionally lavish.
At a glance, all of them were Aunt Lan and Li Xueqing's signature dishes.
"Yanci, try this. Aunt Lan's sweet and sour pork ribs are delicious!"
"Yanci, try Auntie's stir-fried baby bok choy with vinegar. It's appetizing and goes well with rice..."
It was as if if she treated Fu Yanci well, Fu Yanci would pay more attention to Zhou Hechen, and then the Zhou family and Zhou Hechen would treat her Ali better. Li Xueqing kept putting food on Fu Yanci's plate.
Ye Li squinted at her mother, "Mom, if you didn't know better, you'd think he was your future son-in-law."
? ? ?
Is he... jealous?
Li Xueqing smiled and piled Ye Li's bowl full, glaring at her reproachfully, "Don't talk nonsense! Yan Ci is someone you'll call uncle, you should show some respect to your elders!"
Fu Yanci paused.
The girl replied in a drawn-out voice, "Okay..."
Then, she switched to a pair of serving chopsticks and put a round, braised lion's head on his plate. "Uncle, please have some food!"
Li Xueqing was all smiles.
Aunt Lan lowered her head to suppress a laugh, glancing at Fu Yanci every now and then, afraid that Master Fu would be angry.
Seeing his helpless expression, yet his deep eyes were full of indulgent and doting smiles, Aunt Lan looked at Ye Li again, and her smile deepened.
After dinner, Aunt Lan, using the excuse of wanting to bake cookies, dragged Li Xueqing to the kitchen to get busy.
Ye Li glanced at the kitchen again and again, then reached out to push Fu Yanci away, "It's getting dark, you should go!"
"good."
He nodded in agreement, but Fu Yanci, holding the cup of sweet and sour plum tea in his hand, showed no intention of leaving.
Ye Li: ...
Having just finished his tea, Fu Yanci stood up. "Ali, do you want to see me off?"
"No need to see me out!"
Ye Li arrogantly raised her chin, "Didn't you say that this is practically yours anyway? Do I need to be escorted if I'm leaving from my own house?"
Shaking his head helplessly, Fu Yanci walked towards the kitchen. "Aunt Ye, thank you for your hospitality. I'll be leaving now. Please get some rest. I'll come to see you again when I have time!"
"You're leaving already?"
Li Xueqing, her hands still covered in noodles, stepped forward, looked at the noodles in her hands, and looked at Fu Yanci with an apologetic expression, "I'm so sorry, I made you laugh."
After saying that, Li Xueqing turned around and called to Ye Li, "Ali, go and see Yan Ci off."
? ? ?
Ye Li paused.
Turning back, she was met with a gentle smile on her face, without even a polite refusal.
Ye Li: ...
