Every time my phone rings, I hope it's you.
Like every flower I see, I want to give it to you.
The strong and powerful handwriting clearly indicates that it was written by him personally.
Signed: Fu.
Ye Li curled her lips into a smile.
"What beautiful flowers..."
A gentle voice came from the bedroom door. Ye Li quickly closed the card, afraid that a single "Fu" would remind her mother of Fu Yanci, who had stayed at their house a couple of days ago.
Ye Li lied without batting an eye, "I don't know who sent it."
Aunt Lan chimed in, "I heard the doorbell ring and went to open the door. I left it at the door, but I didn't see anyone. I guess it was one of Miss's suitors."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Aunt Lan realized something was wrong.
He subconsciously looked at Ye Li.
Li Xueqing was unaware of Ye Li's marriage to Fu Yanci, and even less aware of her annulment of her engagement with Zhou Hechen.
Before the Ye family's incident, everyone in the capital's elite families knew that Ye Li was the future Mrs. Zhou, so who would send flowers to their home in such a grand manner?
This isn't pursuing something; it's downright provocation!
"Mom, I..."
"It's so beautiful! Aunt Lan, let's find a vase and keep it..."
With a calm expression, seemingly unaware of anything amiss, Li Xueqing looked up at Ye Li, "Ah Li, you said last time that you and He Chen broke up. Are you alright now?"
Ye Li's heart pounded. She looked at her mother's expression and didn't know whether to say yes or no.
"It's definitely not better!"
As if seeing the answer on her face, Li Xueqing pulled Ye Li to sit on the sofa and said in a gentle voice, "You've been busy with the studio these past few days, and I forgot to tell you."
"We made an agreement with the Zhou family that you would marry He Chen when you turned 20. But after thinking about it carefully, Mom realized that it was just a joke we adults made to tease you, and it shouldn't be taken seriously!"
As she spoke, Li Xueqing shook her head and smiled, "Although He Chen is already of marriageable age, Mom always feels that my Ali is still a child. Besides, getting married at 20 is too early."
"Ali, there's no rush to get married. Wait until you graduate from university and your career is on track before considering it. You're still young anyway. As for He Chen..."
Unaware that her tone had lost its former gentleness and warmth when she mentioned Zhou Hechen, Li Xueqing said softly, "Whether the shoe fits or not, only the foot knows. Whether a man is good or not, whether he is sincere to you, only time will tell. Ali, when it comes to matters of the heart, no matter what others say, it's useless. Only you can feel it with your own heart."
"If you think he's good, then you two should get along well. If it doesn't work out and you want to break up, Mom will support you! If you..."
Her throat felt a little dry. Li Xueqing held Ye Li's hand and said softly, "If you want to break off the engagement, Mom will talk to the Zhou family. Although Dad isn't home, Mom's word is law in family matters!"
"mom……"
Ye Li was stunned.
For a fleeting moment, Ye Li felt as if her mother already knew about her annulment of her engagement with Zhou Hechen.
"Silly child, do you think your mother can't tell?"
Li Xueqing smiled and patted Ye Li's hand reassuringly, "Your happiness is your own decision. Who you want to be with, what you want to do in the future, and who you want to marry are all up to you!"
"Mom only wants my Ali to be happy!"
"Thank you, Mom!"
"Silly child, there's no need to thank me!"
It was clear to the naked eye that once the conversation was out in the open, Ali's expression was no longer as resistant as when Zhou Hechen was mentioned before.
Li Xueqing lowered her eyes, suppressing the pang of heartache in them.
After dinner, Li Xueqing suggested going for a walk, and Ye Li happily changed her clothes. The three of them went out hand in hand.
When they returned, they said goodnight to each other and went back to their rooms.
The door closed, and Li Xueqing sat in front of the dressing table, taking out a mahogany box from the cabinet.
