It was nearly noon when the Maybach drove out of Lishan Mansion.
In the passenger seat, Ye Li was typing furiously, ignoring Fu Yanci no matter how he looked at her.
Knowing the girl was upset, Fu Yanci reached out to pull her while they waited at the red light. "Ali, I was wrong, I'm sorry, okay? I'll explain to Grandma later that I overslept and it has nothing to do with you, okay?"
Ye Li glared at him, "Are you afraid others won't know what you did and why you stayed in bed?"
"So what if you know? We're still newlyweds, all lovey-dovey, and we're licensed to work, it's all legal."
Fu Yanci spoke with great conviction.
Ye Li: ...
After a long pause, muttering "Who's all lovey-dovey with you?", Ye Li lowered her head again to send a message.
Qin Chu had texted her the day before yesterday to ask if she wanted to go shopping together on New Year's Day.
There were several hours between each message.
She never replied.
As if guessing what she was busy with, Qin Chu sent a mischievous smiley face: 【Good luck, Mrs. Fu!】
On New Year's Eve, which was last night, Qin Chu went to the hospital to see Li Xueqing.
I sent her a group photo, with the caption: "Mom is recovering very well! [photo.jpg]"
In the photo, Li Xueqing, dressed in a blue and white hospital gown, is watching television.
Her hair was neatly styled, and she wore a faint smile.
If she hadn't forgotten Qin Chu, Qin Chu would have almost thought she had recovered.
Only now did Ye Li finally have time to reply to Qin Chu's message. Seeing the message "Go, Mrs. Fu" above the chat box, Ye Li felt inexplicably hot.
He sent a message to Qin Chu, and the other party replied instantly.
【Chuchu, I'm going to the Fu family's old house for lunch now. I'll come back to find you later.】
I'm waiting for my flight at the airport.
[Where are you going?]
[Go skiing in Ireland.]
So love can fade, right? Didn't we agree to go together during the Spring Festival?
[Haha! Are you sure you can get out of bed during the holidays?]
【!! Qin Chuchu, you're dead!】
【Oh dear, I'm so scared! Madam Fu, please have mercy! ...I'm going to board now!】
After sending a happy emoji, Ye Li turned back to Fu Yanci, her face full of resentment, "It's all your fault! I should have been with Chu Chu, going skiing in Ireland together. Fu Yanci, it's all your fault!"
The girl is getting better and better at shifting blame.
It was as if I could see the carefree, willful, flamboyant, and bright eldest daughter of the Ye family again.
Fu Yanci readily admitted his mistake, "Okay, it's all my fault! Then, during the Spring Festival, I'll take you skiing in Ireland, okay?"
She inexplicably detected a hint of tenderness and doting in the sound of someone coaxing a child. Ye Li didn't know whether to agree or disagree, so she pretended to reply to a message and looked down at her phone.
As the car approached the Fu family's old residence, Ye Li suddenly sat up straight, thinking of Xiao Bao. "Oh no! I forgot something very important!"
On Christmas Eve, the three of them sat under the Christmas tree at Lishan Mansion, unwrapping gifts. Ye Li told a white lie, saying that she had left the gift she prepared for Xiao Bao in her school dormitory and would bring it to him the next time they met.
But she forgot about that.
You can't exactly tell Xiaobao, "I haven't been feeling well these past few days, so I haven't gone to school," can you?
The thought of the little guy, full of expectation, shaking his head sensibly and saying he was fine, but with disappointment still showing in his eyes, filled Ye Li with regret and self-blame.
"Fu Yanci, are there any shopping malls or toy stores nearby?"
Ye Li turned around and asked Fu Yanci.
"Ready..."
Fu Yanci smoothly parked the car at the entrance of the alley, put his arm around Ye Li, and kissed her on the lips. "Do you know what the role of a husband is?"
Ye Li shook her head.
Fu Yanci laughed, "Checking out and fixing things for my wife!"
Wife.
Ye Li's heart skipped a beat.
