After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!-Chapter 202: Weak and Helpless!

One moment he was a cheeky brat bargaining with bright eyes, and the next, he looked like a frostbitten eggplant.

Listless.

With a milk mustache on his lips, Xiao Bao slowly bit into a slice of egg white, frowned, and reluctantly put it back on the plate, with a "I’m not hungry" attitude.

Following Yanci’s gaze, his eyes suddenly brightened.

As if he just realized Ye Li had returned.

But the brightness only lasted for a moment.

Ye Li, I feel so awful!

Looking pitifully at Ye Li, Xiao Bao’s shoulders drooped, and his face clearly spelled out four words: weak and helpless!

Visibly, the girl’s face swept from doubt to full compassion.

"Still feverish?"

Touching Xiao Bao’s forehead and then his cheek, Ye Li affectionately ruffled his hair. "It’s okay, being sick means we’re growing taller and boosting our immunity! Can you be brave?"

Saying this, Ye Li pushed away the plate with a look of disgust toward Fu Yanci, "You shouldn’t eat eggs when you have a fever, Fu Yanci, can’t you manage that? Have you ever taken care of children?"

Without waiting for Yanci’s response, Ye Li turned back to Xiao Bao, "How about I make you a love sandwich, would you like that?"

A love sandwich?

Sounds delicious!

Xiao Bao nodded eagerly.

Rolling up her sleeves, Ye Li searched through the refrigerator and the cabinet for a heart-shaped cutter.

Heart-shaped bread.

Heart-shaped luncheon meat.

Heart-shaped tomato.

Even that lettuce leaf, she pressed into a heart shape.

Layered one after another, a shiny love sandwich made its grand entrance.

"Here you go..."

Handing the love sandwich to Xiao Bao, Ye Li’s eyes sparkled with a smile. "You should eat well when you’re sick. After you’re full, let’s do puzzles and draw to cheer up and get better faster."

Xiao Bao nodded happily.

Ye Li pushed a pile of scraps toward Fu Yanci, "Fu Yanci, don’t waste food!"

???

The sick kid gets a love sandwich!

And all he gets are scraps?

Yanci looked up at Ye Li, "Ah Li, no hard labor, but there’s some effort, is this how you treat me?"

Caught by his meaningful gaze, Ye Li was startled.

Recalling how the night before he’d gripped her waist and bit the soft flesh by her neck saying fiercely, "Ah Li, all the hard work is done by me, yet you’re the one always tired, do you think that’s fair?"

Now, hearing him talk about efforts and labor, Ye Li couldn’t look at those words the same way anymore.

"You, I..."

She wanted to say you’re setting a bad example for the kid.

And also mention that she was just joking.

Ye Li hesitated for a moment.

Her phone rang, and after glaring at Yanci, she reminded Xiao Bao to eat properly and drink his milk, then she went to the living room with her phone.

"Ye Li, the grades are out, and you’re number one in our department again!"

On the phone was her professor, Professor Zhao, "I am calling to ask if you would be interested in a private jewelry design exhibition next Tuesday at Bishui Bay. It’s a gathering of well-known designers in the industry sharing their design insights. Would you like to attend? If yes, come to my office for the invitation!"

Such private exhibitions were typically a gathering of distinguished designers discussing their craft, attended by either well-established names or promising new talent.

Ye Li guessed that Professor Zhao had given her his own invitation.

"Thank you, Professor Zhao, I’d love to go!"

Ye Li said, clearly thrilled.

After lunch, Ye Li, with Xiao Bao in tow, got into the car, and Fu Yanci drove straight toward Imperial University.

As Yanci and Xiao Bao boredly looked at each other in the car, Ye Li knocked on Professor Zhao’s office door and received two invitation cards from her.

Meeting Ye Li’s curious gaze, Professor Zhao casually mentioned, "The other one is for Jiang Chengcheng."

Ye Li paused, then nodded, "Okay."
