I slept without any dreams.
When Ye Li opened her eyes and saw the bright morning light outside the window, only one sentence came to her mind.
So that's what "absence makes the heart grow fonder" means.
The next moment, Ye Li raised her hand to cover her face.
The bedroom was quiet; there was no warm embrace beside me, nor the sound of a man's muffled laughter.
Ye Li opened her eyes and realized that Fu Yanci had already gotten up.
Thinking that he might have slept in Xiao Bao's room downstairs last night, Ye Li took a deep breath.
get up.
Wash up.
Going downstairs, I saw a large and a small Lego set on the floor of the master bedroom.
"Let's play for another ten minutes, then we'll be off!"
Ye Li spoke up.
Today is Saturday, the day she arranged to host a banquet for the mothers at the Fu family's old house.
The housekeeper sent her the procedures and other details a few days in advance so she could review them.
Fortunately, Fu Yanci didn't go too far.
Fortunately, she was able to get up!
Xiao Bao nodded and gave an OK sign.
Fu Yanci looked her up and down, and although he didn't say anything, Ye Li felt that she understood.
He was saying: "Ali, not bad, you've improved!"
She glanced at him shyly, then fled in panic.
More than ten minutes later, the three of them left hand in hand, and the Maybach drove straight to the Fu family's old house.
Just after 10 o'clock, luxury cars began to drive into the alley one after another.
Each vehicle has a standard configuration of two large and one small, or two large and two small.
The guests were invited to the banquet hall, and from the moment they entered and greeted each other, they automatically split into three groups.
One group of male guests.
A group of female guests.
A group of children.
When Ye Li told Xiao Bao to take his friends to play in the yard, cheers erupted, and the large courtyard was filled with laughter.
The festivities continued until evening.
After dinner, as Fu Yanci and Ye Li were about to leave, Xiao Bao let go of Ye Li's hand, went over to stand next to Old Madam Fu, and took her hand.
Ye Li was taken aback. "Brother Mu, aren't you coming back with us?"
Xiao Bao nodded, tilted his head and leaned against Madam Fu's arm, yawning as he did so.
Fu Yanci shook his head and chuckled, "The old house is closer to the kindergarten, don't you want to go through the hassle?"
Xiao Bao nodded.
On one hand, she felt that this was what he was thinking. After all, she had been working long hours for the past two weeks, and even she, as an adult, found it tiring. Let alone a five-year-old child, who needs to sleep more to grow taller.
On the one hand, she felt that he was avoiding Fu Yanci and her.
Ye Li didn't know why she felt this way, but since that illness, Xiao Bao seemed to have changed.
But Ye Li couldn't quite put her finger on what was different.
In short, it was a strange intuition.
"Are you really not coming back with us?"
Ye Li squatted down and looked into Xiao Bao's eyes, asking a question.
Xiao Bao nodded.
"Then, you have to share anything with me right away. You said we're best friends, so you have to keep your word, or you'll turn into Pinocchio with a long nose."
Xiao Bao nodded again.
"Then, pinky promise..."
The two hands, one big and one small, made a pinky promise.
Both faces wore identical bright smiles.
After patting Xiao Bao's head and reminding Madam Fu to take care of her health, Fu Yanci led Ye Li out the door.
As the Maybach drove out of the alley, Fu Yanci's phone rang.
He turned on the speakerphone, and Xiang Yang's voice came from the other end, "Boss, should we send flowers to the western suburbs cemetery tomorrow?"
Fu Yanci paused for a moment, glanced at the date on the screen, and said in a deep voice, "No need."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yanci met Ye Li's questioning gaze and said in a deep voice, "It's the anniversary of my elder brother's death."
Fu Mingzhen.
Ye Li nodded, "Aren't you taking Mu-ge with you?"
Fu Yanci shook his head, "Let's wait until he's older and his condition is more stable before we talk about it."
She had never met her father since birth, and had probably rarely even heard anyone mention him, yet she had to face a cold tombstone on the anniversary of his death.
Ye Li also found it cruel.
When he went out the next day, Xiang Yang was already waiting outside.
Fresh white lilies.
The prepared offerings.
Fu Yanci put the things in the trunk and drove Ye Li to the western suburbs cemetery.
This was Ye Li's first time meeting Fu Mingzhen, the legendary eldest son of the Fu family.
The young man in the black and white photo is handsome and has a resemblance to Fu Yanci in the features of his eyebrows and eyes, but with a touch more of the gentle and refined demeanor of a gentleman.
Judging from his appearance alone, he looks much more approachable than Fu Yanci.
As the only son of the second wife of the Fu family, Fu Mingzhen is humble, gentle, and exceptionally talented. He can be described as a typical wealthy young master, but also a positive and proactive one.
Back then, rumors were circulating among the wealthy families in the capital that Old Master Fu would hand over the headship of the Fu family and the Fu Group to his eldest grandson, Fu Mingzhen.
But no one expected that a car accident would take Fu Mingzhen's life abroad.
Fu Yanci became the beneficiary.
In the years that followed, the Fu family, including the group's shareholders, had many complaints, and some even maliciously speculated that Fu Mingzhen's car accident might have been caused by Fu Yanci.
If the decision to go abroad for a face-to-face meeting had not been made personally by Fu Mingzhen at the Fu Group's shareholders' meeting, Fu Yanci would likely be more suspected of being behind it.
Fu Yanci did not explain or show any mercy. In just two years, he swiftly stabilized the Fu family, not to mention the rapid progress he made in the following years.
The Fu Group is as solid as a rock, and Master Fu's reputation is legendary.
After naturally taking over the position of head of the Fu family and CEO of the Fu Group from Old Master Fu, no one dares to question Fu Yanci anymore.
