After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!-Chapter 213: Serves You Right to Be Angry to Death

Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Serves You Right to Be Angry to Death

She kicked at thin air, and only when Ye Li focused did she realize the spot next to her had long been empty.

It was only Da Bai that she had kicked off the bed.

And all the assorted stuffed animals that should’ve been messily scattered across the bed were neatly arranged in their original places,

as if she had slept alone last night.

"Mom, I’m already awake..."

Ye Li called out in response.

Li Xueqing pushed the door open, her smile warm, "Hurry and wash up, come downstairs for breakfast, Yanci and Xiao Bao have already gotten ready. They’re waiting for you in the dining room."

"Oh, I’ll be right there."

Ye Li answered.

As the door closed, Li Xueqing turned and went downstairs.

Ye Li picked up Da Bai, and looking at its beaming face, the more she looked, the more it resembled Fu Yanci. Grumbling, she punched it a few times before getting up to enter the bathroom.

When she came downstairs, she saw the newly dressed Fu Yanci and Xiao Bao.

Her eyes sparkled, Ye Li curved her lips, and with a cheerful smile, she said to Fu Yanci, "Good morning, Uncle Fu..."

As if expecting such a greeting, Fu Yanci’s expression remained unchanged.

Xiao Bao, standing next to him, looked perplexed for a second.

Looking from Ye Li to Fu Yanci, the little guy blinked: What are these two up to now?

Facing Li Xueqing’s tender and smiling face, Xiao Bao accepted the strawberry pancake she handed him and began to munch away.

Adults are so hard to understand!

"Uncle Fu, did you not sleep well last night? You’ve got dark circles..."

"Uncle Fu, even after getting married, you have to care about your appearance! If you don’t spruce yourself up, be careful; Auntie might kick you out! You know, the trend isn’t for older men anymore, it’s all about young, attractive guys... they’re so hot right now..."

"Uncle Fu, aren’t you going to the company after breakfast? You’ve got to earn the money, oh, a man without money is more likely to get dumped..."

The girl, looking plump and cute with a belly full of pancakes and milk, and having had enough sleep, kept calling ’Uncle Fu’, which was starting to grate on his nerves.

Fu Yanci stayed silent.

Li Xueqing, who couldn’t watch anymore, intervened, "Ah Li, don’t be so disrespectful, watch your words."

"Oh."

Ye Li nodded, her gaze apologetically turned towards Fu Yanci, "Uncle Fu, I was just talking nonsense, you’re not mad, are you?"

"It’s fine."

Fu Yanci shook his head, then looked back at Xiao Bao, "I have to attend a meeting at Bishui Bay branch later, do you want to go back to Lishan Mansion or to the Fu Mansion?"

"Bishui Bay?"

Li Xueqing’s eyes lit up, "Ah Li also needs to go to Bishui Bay this morning."

Ignoring the obvious reluctance in Ye Li’s eyes, Li Xueqing looked up at Fu Yanci, "Yanci, if it’s convenient, could you take my Ah Li for the ride?"

The Ye Family had a driver, and it was part of his job to take Ye Li to Bishui Bay.

But to Li Xueqing, if Ye Li rode in Uncle Fu’s car, perhaps the people at the exhibition hall in Bishui Bay would see her differently.

After all, we live in a society that judges by appearance.

Uncle Fu’s face carried much more weight than the prestige of the Ye Family.

Although it wasn’t nice to use him like that, when opportunity knocked, you had to at least give it a try to know if it was possible.

If he refused, then so be it.

Li Xueqing was prepared for Fu Yanci to decline, but she was taken aback by his response.

Fu Yanci agreed quite readily, "Of course, no problem!"

Beaming with delight, Li Xueqing turned to Xiao Bao, "Xiao Bao, then you’ll play at Grandma Ye’s. Aunt Lan will bake cookies with you later. When your sister Ye Li comes back, she can play with you too, okay?"

Being able to be with Ye Li meant there was no need to go back to Lishan Mansion or the Fu Mansion.

Xiao Bao nodded happily, his mouth full of pancake crumbs: Great!

Xiao Bao was smiling.

Mom and Aunt Lan were smiling too.

When Ye Li looked up again, she met Fu Yanci’s eyes, which also held a smile.

Thinking back to last night when she had chased him to inquire about his love life, the more Ye Li thought about it, the angrier she got. She wished she could travel back in time and slap some sense into her gossip-hungry self: That’s what you get for prying; serves you right for being so nosy!
