After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!-Chapter 207: Wife, Open the Door!

Because of Xiao Bao, Li Xueqing’s impression of Fu Yanci couldn’t have been better.

After all, men willing to take care of children and patient enough to do so were rare nowadays.

And upon learning that Xiao Bao had autism and didn’t speak, Li Xueqing’s opinion of the two improved even further.

At dinner, aside from Fu Yanci’s feet being stepped on several times under the table.

On the surface, it looked as though both host and guest were enjoying themselves.

Soon it was time to rest for the night, and Fu Yanci and Xiao Bao were taken to the guest room next to Ye Li’s.

"Mom..." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Standing at the door with arms crossed, Ye Li watched Li Xueqing tell Fu Yanci where towels were hung and which bottle was body wash and which was shampoo, and she said with annoyance, "A man and a woman under one roof is asking for trouble. It’s not really appropriate for me and my uncle to be staying on the same floor, is it?"

Fu Yanci paused.

Beside him, Li Xueqing looked reproachfully at Ye Li, "Let’s not even mention that Yanci is your uncle; I’m talking about you. You’re my own daughter—how could I not trust you? Really, such a silly child!"

After speaking, Li Xueqing patted Xiao Bao’s head, "Xiao Bao, go to sleep early. Tomorrow morning, Grandma Ye will make you strawberry pancakes to eat!"

Xiao Bao obediently nodded his head.

After saying goodnight to Fu Yanci, Li Xueqing turned and left with Ye Li.

Looking at the big bed.

Then glancing at Fu Yanci.

Xiao Bao pursed his lips without speaking, but hesitation and conflict were obvious in his eyes.

Knowing that he was expressing his disdain, Fu Yanci raised his hand and flicked Xiao Bao’s forehead, "Who was it that put you to sleep when you were little? How come you’re less grateful the older you get?"

Xiao Bao had just turned two when he was taken back to the old house.

If it were a stranger, he would hide under the table, inside a cabinet, or beneath the bed at their approach.

Only Fu Yanci, the man who had taken him out of his ’cage’, could get close to him.

During that time, Xiao Bao slept with Fu Yanci every night.

After a few months, Xiao Bao gradually let his guard down when he saw that Old Mrs. Fu truly doted on him and that the people arranged in the yard were genuinely kind to him.

From then on, he slept alone at night.

If someone was in the room, he was like he was filled with a danger radar, with eyes as wide as an owl’s.

Even if someone approached in the middle of the night, he would wake up alert like a small animal, staring with wide eyes until dawn.

Including Fu Yanci.

Xiao Bao touched his forehead and glared at him.

Laughter appeared in Fu Yanci’s eyes, "Rest assured and sleep! I’m already married; naturally, I’ll be sleeping with my wife. Even if you wanted me to stay, I’d be too lazy to bother with you!"

Embarrassment!!!

Making a face at Fu Yanci, Xiao Bao turned and went into the bathroom.

Fu Yanci left the room.

When her phone dinged, Ye Li knew that except for Fu Yanci, it couldn’t be anyone else.

Sure enough.

[Wife, open the door!]

Thinking of not opening it for him and knowing he wouldn’t dare to knock for fear of alarming her mother and Aunt Lan downstairs.

But she was worried he really might knock.

Ye Li hesitated for a while before going to open the door.

Just as a small crack was opened, the man moved smoothly through it, also closing the door behind him.

Before Ye Li could voice her concerns, she was encircled in Fu Yanci’s arms, "Ah Li, I think I’m sick..."

The man’s voice was as husky and magnetic as ever, yet it carried a slight distress, as if he were really feeling unwell.

Ye Li looked up at his somewhat downcast face and touched his forehead, doubtful, "You’re not infected by Brother Mu, are you?"

"No."

Fu Yanci shook his head, hugging Ye Li tighter, "It seems like I’ve caught loneliness. I’ll get better only if my wife is with me. If she’s not by my side, I feel uncomfortable from head to toe."

If Ye Li couldn’t tell he was faking it now, then she really was a fool.

"Fu Yanci, you’re getting naughtier!"

With an air of irritation, Yet Li struggled to push him away, "Out, go back to your room!"

"Ah Li, if I go out, I’ll only end up sleeping in the hallway, Xiao Bao is already asleep!"

"... Acting pitiful won’t work; get out!"

Staring at the puffing and pouting girl and listening keenly to the noise outside, Fu Yanci reached for the doorknob, "Ah Li, then I’m leaving."

As his words fell, his hand was pressed down by Ye Li.

In the corridor outside, footsteps began to sound.
