After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!-Chapter 291: It Gets Sweeter the More You Hug
Discussing Yao Wanying’s public gracefulness and private cruelty.
Discussing Qin Zhongsong’s indifference and occasional displays of fatherly affection.
Discussing Mrs. Qin, who has been rumored to be in poor health for decades yet seems to have an everlasting battery life.
And the years of entanglements between the three.
As they talked until the sky turned pale, the voice of Qin Chu had grown fainter, and then only the steady, prolonged sound of breathing remained.
Ye Li had no desire to sleep.
At social gatherings among ladies of the Imperial Capital’s rich family, Ye Li knew most of them.
They would start with talks about bags, jewelry, and fashion shows, but after a few drinks, they would turn into a venting session.
One would complain about a cheating, no-good boyfriend.
Another would talk about her parents arguing; despite being a hundred years old combined, they still acted like children threatening divorce.
Ye Li had none of these troubles.
Which made her feel doubly blessed.
But that late-night call,
along with the sudden appearance of the elegant, beautiful, and grand Jyang Wanruo,
made Ye Li start pondering things she had never thought about before.
She wondered just how solid her contractual marriage with Fu Yanci really was.
That made her recall the words he had said in the car, "Ah Li, I love you," but now, thinking back, Ye Li felt a lot of uncertainty.
Even Jyang Wanruo unbelievably came up to ask her how long she had known Fu Yanci.
To outsiders, Fu Yanci must have been crazy to marry her, they’d think.
The more she thought, the more she couldn’t sleep, so Ye Li got up, freshened up, and sneaked out of the bedroom.
She felt like going back home, but looking at the time, it was not even seven.
Going home at this hour, she wouldn’t have stayed long before having to leave again.
She lifted her eyes, and in the immediate vicinity were Jingyue Building
and Fu Group across the street.
Ye Li bent her lips slightly into a smile and ran towards Fu Group.
In the CEO’s private elevator, Ye Li entered the password, and the elevator went straight to the top floor.
Pushing the door open, the rich aroma of sandalwood hit her face.
Setting an alarm for 9 o’clock, Ye Li closed the curtains, changed into Fu Yanci’s oversized dress shirt, and threw herself into the soft, snowy white bed.
Fu Yanci arrived at the office just before eight.
With Ah Li at home, he felt even the air in the study was sweet.
But when Ah Li was not there, the delightful, soft bed seemed cold as ice.
He didn’t want to stay at home a minute longer.
Viewing emails, reviewing yesterday’s stock market, drinking coffee.
When the ping-pong sounds rang overhead, Fu Yanci was startled and felt as if even his coffee had turned sweeter today.
Going upstairs, he saw what should have been a flat bed now had a bulge.
The girl was completely buried in the blanket, her hands skillfully turning off the phone. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Moving forward to lift the blanket, an uncontrollable smile seeped into Fu Yanci’s eyes.
"Ah Li, time to get up!"
It wasn’t Fu Yanci’s kisses that woke her, but the bitter taste within their interlocking lips.
Without even opening her eyes, Ye Li scrunched up her face and pushed him away, "Fu Yanci, you’re so bitter!"
The morning, originally cold, became unexpectedly warm and sweet because of the girl’s sudden presence.
Fu Yanci laughed and leaned in to kiss her again, "Kiss a bit longer, and it’ll turn sweet!"
As it turned out, Fu Yanci was right.
At first, it was bitter.
But gradually, the bitterness faded.
The mild scent of perfume lingering in the air was slowly diluted by his rich sandalwood scent, even enriching the kiss with several more layers of fragrance.
Ye Li was fully awake now.
