The storm had barely begun before it subsided, and the surrounding area became lively again.
The gossipy women tried to get close to Ye Li, Mrs. Fu, to build a relationship, but Mr. Fu was right there, handing her a piece of cake one moment and feeding her a piece of fruit the next, showing no intention of leaving.
The men were eagerly waiting to continue their conversation about finance and economics with Master Fu, but seeing him slowly coaxing his wife to eat, they became even more impatient.
There was an undercurrent of tension in the banquet hall.
Turning her head away from the tender green melon on Fu Yanci's fork, Ye Li whispered, "Fu Yanci, you'd better hurry up and go. If you don't go soon, I'll become public enemy number one!"
"I'm not going..."
The man lazily ate the melon that Ye Li had rejected, then put his arm around her waist and led her to the sofa in the corner. "I didn't come here for Fu Minghui in the first place."
Ye Li was taken aback.
Fu Yanci turned around and affectionately pinched Ye Li's earlobe. "Ali, whether it's the ice rink or Forever, I don't want anyone who's too blind to offend Mrs. Fu again!"
Therefore, today's banquet is less of Fu Minghui's birthday party and more of an official announcement banquet for Mr. Fu and his wife to make their debut.
Seeing that the girl remained silent, Fu Yanci said in a deep voice, "I promised you that I wouldn't announce our marriage to anyone until Mom recovers. But we can't let a small setback prevent us from doing anything about it. I'll keep it a secret from Mom, don't worry!"
Ye Li smiled, her eyes crinkling, and nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Master Fu, for backing me up!"
I once read a quote.
If someone says you're wrong, they might be wrong.
If two people say you're wrong, it could mean they're both wrong.
But if everyone says you're wrong, then you should reflect on what exactly you did wrong. After all, it's impossible for everyone to be blind.
Just now, everyone was openly or secretly calling her a scumbag and a promiscuous woman, but not a single person refuted that it wasn't the truth!
Only Fu Yanci.
“Fu Yanci, Zhou Hechen did go to the hospital, but I didn’t give him a friendly look, so it’s all taken care of. So… so I didn’t tell you…”
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer. Feeling a little guilty, Ye Li took Fu Yanci's arm and said, "I was just using his power to get rid of him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to drive him away."
"Borrowing the tiger's power?"
Fu Yanci spoke slowly and deliberately, looking at Ye Li with a smile in his eyes, "Tell me, how did you manage to act like a fox borrowing the tiger's power?"
"He threatened me, saying he would tell my mother that I broke off my engagement with him and married you. So I said, I said..."
The girl's smile was bright, like a fox that had stolen a chicken. Her red fur was clearly visible in the bright sunlight, making her smile even more alluring. "I told him that if he dared to do that, I would tell his uncle and let his wise and powerful uncle teach him a lesson with painful reality!"
I don't know if it was because the girl's smile was too sweet.
Her praise of his wisdom and prowess was truly sincere.
Fu Yanci's mood visibly improved.
The banquet hall doors opened, and a waiter pushed in a nine-tiered cake, which the guests all rushed towards.
In the corner by the unnoticed French windows, Fu Yanci sat up, lifted Ye Li's chin, and kissed her. "Thank you for the compliment, Madam!"
Considering they were outside, Fu Yanci only kissed her lightly before releasing her.
Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief.
As he led her to her feet, his lips brushed against her ear. "Ah Li, I will work hard and strive not to let you down with such high praise."
Try... to make an effort?
What are we striving for?
It was as if I understood, yet also as if I didn't, but my heart was racing and my cheeks were getting hot.
Before Ye Li could react, applause rang out, and the banquet began.
