As soon as the words left her mouth, Ye Li wished she could bite off her own tongue.
Looking up again, she met the man's dark and deep eyes.
The image of Xiao Bao and Xiao Bao's mother, the woman deeply hidden in Fu Yanci's heart, came to mind.
Ye Li, looking like she'd misspoke, quickly corrected herself, "I was just kidding, Fu Yanci, don't... hiss..."
In a moment of panic, she pulled her hand back. The spot on her palm that had been pricked by the ice cube slid across the iodine swab in Fu Yanci's hand, and the excruciating pain made Ye Li's face turn pale instantly.
Fu Yanci tossed aside the cotton swabs, quickly grabbed gauze and pressed it against the bleeding wound, a fleeting hint of anger flashing across his face.
The opportunity is right in front of us.
And he missed it!
Ye Li sighed inwardly, her inner voice shaking her shoulders frantically: Ye Xiaoli, are you crazy? Is this the kind of joke you can make so casually?
Seeing Fu Yanci's face filled with a faint anger, Ye Li shrank her neck and didn't dare to move, letting him wrap her hands up like a rice dumpling.
Ye Li: ...
Looking back out the window, still at the entrance of the Vicent, Ye Li said softly, "Fu Yanci, I'm fine now, you can go back to school."
"good."
Fu Yanci spoke up, took off his coat and draped it over Ye Li, then took her hand and got out of the car.
As soon as the car door was opened, a howling gust of cold wind rushed in.
Ye Li subconsciously turned her head to dodge, but Fu Yanci opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace.
A steady and powerful heartbeat.
Accompanied by the sandalwood scent emanating from the man.
Ye Li was taken aback, and he put his arm around her and put her in the passenger seat of the SUV.
As the car drove off, Ye Li looked out at the dark night outside the window, a moment of inner turmoil washing over her.
If she hadn't changed her mind.
If she didn't use taking it back to school as an excuse to change the subject.
How would Fu Yanci answer her?
He coldly told her she was overthinking it, then gave her a warning look that said it was a one-time thing.
Or something else?
Since she's already injured, Fu Yanci wouldn't abandon her in the car, considering she's wounded, would he?
Besides, even if she gets lost in the car and loses face temporarily, she will still be Mrs. Fu. Fu Yanci can't drag her to get a divorce with that flawed prenuptial agreement.
She should have been bold enough to try!
The moment the thought popped into her head, Ye Li immediately put it out.
She's already learned her lesson from men once!
You should remember this!
Wise people don't fall in love, Ye Xiaoli, remember that!!!
Having mentally prepared herself, Ye Li regained her relaxed and at ease demeanor from the daytime when speaking to Fu Yanci again. "Fu Yanci, thank you so much for tonight! I promise I won't act rashly again!"
"that……"
After a moment's hesitation, Ye Li whispered, "He...you didn't do anything to him, did you?"
Creak!
With a slight turn of the steering wheel, the car came to a steady stop at the roadside. Fu Yanci turned to look at Ye Li, his gloomy face seemingly carrying the frost outside the window. "You want to plead for him?"
Ye Li remained silent.
The moment she realized something was wrong, she felt like stabbing Zhou Hechen in the heart.
Even though the engagement has been called off, and even though she is no longer his fiancée, there should still be some bond between them, having grown up together since childhood.
Yet he could do such a despicable thing.
But after regaining her senses, Ye Li only had two words in her mind: Never mind!
In any case, Zhou Hechen is Fu Yanci's nephew. If things go too far, it will not be good for the Zhou family, the Fu family, or Fu Yanci.
It's best to leave it to Fu Yanci to handle.
Who was Fu Yanci?
Master Fu is known for his ruthless methods in the elite circles of the capital. Once something gets into his hands, the nature of the matter will probably change.
When word gets out, people who don't know the details won't understand the reason for what happened or what she went through; they'll only know that the uncle and nephew fought so fiercely over her.
Calling her a femme fatale is an understatement.
If she says anything unpleasant, won't she be the one who suffers in the end?
"Fu Yanci, let's just let this matter go!"
Ye Li lowered her head, her voice soft, "I've already made things clear with him. Since something like this has happened again, we won't see each other again. Consider it..." Consider it a huge price I'm paying to learn my lesson. Anyway, it won't happen again!
Before Ye Li could finish speaking, Fu Yanci interrupted her.
