Ye Li's afternoon nap was not very restful.
My phone kept ringing.
At the studio, the designer and foreman in charge of the renovation were overly dedicated, constantly sending her pictures to confirm in real time whether it was the effect she wanted.
Fu Yanci also added to the chaos.
【Ah Li, I'm so sleepy! The coffee they made tastes awful!】
【Ah Li, I didn't sleep well last night.】
【Ah Li?】
[I'm working while you're taking an extra-long nap, Mrs. Fu, do you think this is appropriate?]
Ye Li: ...
She sleepily took a picture of her textbooks and sent it to him to show that she was concentrating on her studies.
A second later, Ye Li heard the sound of her own face being slapped in the face.
[Madam Fu is indeed remarkably capable; she can understand it even upside down. I'm truly impressed!]
Clicking on the picture, I saw myself holding the book upside down in the photo.
If it were just a book, one could say the photo was taken upside down.
Unfortunately, the book was in her hands.
They can't even find a angle to argue their way out of this.
Ye Li: !!!
As if afraid of angering her if she continued talking, Fu Yanci stopped laughing at her and made a phone call, "Ali, next Saturday is my sister's birthday party. Can you come with me?"
sister?
Only after a moment did Ye Li realize that the "sister" Fu Yanci was referring to was Fu Minghui. Her drowsiness vanished instantly, and her mind went blank for a moment.
People who used to call her "Auntie" are now calling her "Sister" instead.
That was really...exciting!
Just thinking about that scene made Ye Li feel embarrassed. "Maybe... we should just forget about it?"
There was silence on the other end.
Ye Li said in a low voice, "How embarrassing?"
The day Fu Yanci took her back to the old house, all the Fu family members who had heard the news rushed over, except for Fu Minghui, Zhou Jinrui, and Zhou Hechen's family.
It made her feel a huge sense of relief that day.
But Ye Li also knew that she could only hide from the beginning of the month, not the end.
Even if she doesn't attend the birthday banquet, the Spring Festival is just around the corner, and it's inevitable that she, the Zhou family, and Zhou Hechen will all meet at the Fu family's old residence.
"All right……"
Better a short, sharp pain than a long, drawn-out one, Ye Li compromised and said, "I'll go."
Fu Yanci's voice softened on the other end, "Ali, when are you planning to go home? I'll come pick you up!"
She will be overseeing the renovation for the next few days.
I also have to spend time with my mother whenever I can.
Once I go to the studio with Wan Mingyi on Monday to finalize our future work direction, then... it should be fine, right?
"on Monday?"
As soon as the words left my mouth, I heard the sound of someone pausing in their breathing on the other end.
Ye Li muttered under her breath, "Who's angry and ignoring me? Now they have the nerve to urge me to go home? Fu Yanci, I'm going back to my parents' house for a short stay. I'm not going back so soon."
She thought Fu Yanci would be angry, or like before, keep saying "Ali, I was wrong" until she gave in and agreed to go home.
Ye Li didn't expect the man to agree so readily, "Okay!"
"Ah Li, then you should work hard and strive to become my pride and glory as soon as possible. ... Don't worry, I won't hold you back! But Ah Li, if you get tired or weary, remember to turn around, I'll be right behind you!"
The man's words were full of affection.
Ye Li paused for a moment, then smiled brightly, "Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, a fleeting look of doubt crossed Ye Li's eyes.
Could it be that Fu Yanci knows about her starting a studio?
On one hand, she thought that a big boss like Master Fu, who was so busy with work every day, probably wouldn't know such a small thing as her renting an office in Jingyue to use as a studio.
On the one hand, I felt there was something more to his words.
After wondering for a while, the designer sent another set of reference images. Ye Li changed the subject and tossed it aside.
When there was a knock on the door, Ye Li turned around and called out, "Come in."
Aunt Lan pushed open the door and entered with a big smile. "Xiao Li, there's a package for you. Come downstairs and sign for it!"
"Please sign it for me..."
Thinking it was a gift Qin Chu had sent her from Ireland, Ye Li answered without turning her head.
Seeing the smile on Aunt Lan's face, he immediately realized what was going on.
Going downstairs, they saw the flowers that Fu Yanci had sent and the afternoon tea he had ordered for them.
The pink rosebuds were about to bloom, and the dew on their petals had almost frozen into beads.
Steamed by the villa's heating, the liquid melted and clung to the petals, making them crystal clear.
The bouquet also included a greeting card from Fu Yanci.
