After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!-Chapter 219 Better to Cling to Life than Die a Good Death

Chapter 219: Chapter 219 Better to Cling to Life than Die a Good Death

The sea was drab on this winter day, hardly worth a glance.

The wind wasn’t strong, nor were the waves, which lazily lapped at the beach now and then.

Staring at it for too long, one could become listless as well.

Ye Li had merely glanced at it before she prepared to leave.

As she turned around, her peripheral vision caught a figure in the distance.

A tall young woman in a camel coat almost blended into the sand—if you didn’t look closely, you might not notice her.

At that moment, the figure made another step closer—and then another, almost stepping into the water.

Ye Li’s eyes narrowed.

In the summer, maybe the other person might have wanted to play in the water.

But in this freezing weather, who would wander into the water for no reason?

She... she, she... could she be planning to jump into the sea?

Just as the thought crossed her mind, the woman took another step forward.

Ye Li’s heart skipped a beat, and she turned and ran toward the woman.

"Hey, hey..."

She had hardly spoken when her mouth was filled with windblown sand.

Ye Li hadn’t finished spitting the grit from her mouth when the woman took another step forward, her boots already in the water, a lazy wave ready to wet her pant legs.

"...even if the sky falls, there’s someone tall enough to catch it..."

As she spoke, she had already reached the woman, wrapping her arms around her and dragging her back.

The shocked woman struggled fiercely, flailing her limbs, and both ended up sprawled face up on the beach.

Gasping for breath, Ye Li said, "Death isn’t as good as a miserable life; solve your problems as they come. There are always more solutions than difficulties, don’t be so desperate..."

The woman paused.

Looked at the messy footprints near the shore.

Then at Ye Li, whose eyes were filled with panic.

Realizing belatedly that she had been mistaken for attempting suicide, the woman laughed, "little fairy, thank you!"

Ye Li was startled.

The woman stood up, brushed the sand off herself, and extended her hand to Ye Li, "Hello, my name is Wan Mingyi!"

"Hello, my name is Ye Li!"

Pulling on the other’s hand to stand up, Ye Li’s face showed embarrassment, "Did I misunderstand? Sorry, I called you several times but you didn’t respond, I, I..."

"There’s nothing to apologize for; I should be thanking you!"

Wan Mingyi laughed.

She was zoning out, but reviewing the footsteps, Ye Li hadn’t intervened, she might have really walked into the sea.

Anyone would think she was about to jump.

Even if not to jump, in such cold weather, getting her shoes, socks, and pants wet, especially in Bishui Bay where taxis are hard to get, catching a cold or falling ill was almost inevitable.

"It’s okay then..."

Ye Li smiled, looking around, "Do you want to keep zoning out? If so, I’ll go over there?"

Wan Mingyi shook her head, "Let’s sit together for a while."

Listening to Ye Li explain that she’d been kicked out of an exhibition, Wan Mingyi appeared incredulous, "What did you do?"

"I swear I did nothing, would you believe that?"

Ye Li spread her hands in resignation, "He said his piece was on display for the first time since it was designed, and that it was impossible for anyone outside his studio to have seen it. Yet I clearly remember seeing something similar."

Wan Mingyi was stunned.

Ye Li kept muttering, "It wasn’t on any design website or forum, it was just a sketch, but the guy said it should be made with Red beans, claiming it would look great. Red beans grow in the southern lands; when spring comes, they sprout branches..."

"May you pick more of them, for this thing is most reminiscent of ’Lovesickness’!"

Wan Mingyi continued for Ye Li, "So, that jewelry set is called ’Lovesickness.’"

???

She hadn’t mentioned she was at a jewelry exhibition.

She hadn’t even mentioned it was about jewelry.

But Wan Mingyi had hit the nail on the head about Chen Jiayuan’s jewelry naming.

Seeing Wan Mingyi’s somber expression, Ye Li felt moved.
