After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!-Chapter 210: Paper-Mache Willpower

"Fool, what is there to mind about?"

Fu Yanci reached out and pinched Ye Li’s face, "Didn’t Dad tell you that I am the one worthy of trust? That means Dad approves of me. Since I’m his son-in-law, how could a son-in-law dislike his father-in-law?"

She thought to say that it was a robot who said that.

But as the words came to her mouth, Ye Li changed her saying, "Fu Yanci, thank you!"

Fu Yanci hesitated momentarily.

The last time he visited the Ye family, he called Li Xueqing Mom, and she thanked him.

This time, he wore Dad’s pajamas, and she thanked him again!

His Ah Li, how much more was she worrying about him disliking the Ye family or them?

"Mrs. Fu..."

He rubbed her head softly, Fu Yanci with a gentle expression, "No need to thank me!"

With a smile in her eyes, Ye Li took a deep breath, patted her pillow, and said generously, "Considering how nice you are, I won’t make you sleep in the hallway today! Mr. Fu, please!"

After speaking, Ye Li lay straight in bed and grabbed the big white bear.

Fu Yanci’s eyes slightly narrowed.

"Ah Li..."

He pulled the big white bear from her arms and threw it far to the foot of the bed, Fu Yanci lay back on the pillow and wrapped his long arm around her, pulling her into his embrace, "I’m a living person lying next to you, you can definitely come and hug me instead!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"But Da Bai is more comfortable, unlike you, all hard and stiff..."

As soon as she spoke, Ye Li realized something was off and her breath hitched.

Fu Yanci also paused.

He had long discovered that whenever Ah Li was around, his self-control, which he took pride in, was as fragile as paper, utterly ineffective.

But Fu Yanci hadn’t expected that just a phrase about being ’hard and stiff’ could get a reaction out of him.

That long cold shower just now was in vain.

"Ah Li..."

His voice lowered bit by bit, Fu Yanci turned his body to the side, his thumb gently tracing Ye Li’s reddened lips, "In the past, did any daredevil boys ever climb through your window?"

???

Knowing he was changing the subject, but Ye Li couldn’t figure out why he would shift it to climbing through windows.

Instinctively glancing at the balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Ye Li paused, childhood memories surfacing.

There had been no window climbing.

However, Zhou Hecchen had waited for her outside the back yard wall.

Back when they were still young, although her parents were liberal, they were strict about not letting her out after dark.

If she wasn’t home before nightfall, they would ask where she was and arrange a time to pick her up.

Naive young teenagers, even though they spent the days together, somehow felt the nights were more thrilling.

One hesitating,

One urging repeatedly.

Teenage Ye Li standing at the balcony could see the continuously lit screen of the mobile phone outside the yard wall.

The boldest she ever got, one of Ye Li’s legs was already over the balcony railing.

It was only about five or six meters down to the lawn from the second floor.

With her childhood experience of climbing trees and walls, finding the right angle meant there was no chance of twisting her foot, let alone getting hurt.

But before Ye Li could act, Zhou Hecchen’s phone started ringing.

Even though Zhou Hecchen quickly turned it off, in that moment, the impulse and irrationality surging in Ye Li’s heart seemed to be turned off along with it.

Returning to the balcony, she calmly sent a message, "I’m not going," then turned around and went back to her room.

The next day she had even questioned Zhou Hecchen, weren’t you afraid I’d jump from the second floor and break a leg or sprain an ankle?

The teenage boy, frustrated and embarrassed: you didn’t jump, did you?

Because of this, the two had a long period of awkwardness.

How they eventually made up, Ye Li couldn’t remember.

It was just... too long ago!

Coming back to her senses, Ye Li raised her eyes again, meeting Fu Yanci’s deep, scrutinizing gaze.

Ye Li instinctively shook her head, "No."

"Really? There wasn’t?"

The man’s voice turned deep, a dark current flowing in his eyes, "That’s really... a pity!"

???

Ye Li was startled, "A pity about what?"
