After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!-Chapter 221: Shall We... Take a Gamble?

"The one to blame is the scumbag, unabashedly shameless beyond compare, do you have any faults?"

Ye Li looked at Wan Mingyi seriously, "The most beautiful thing is to have dreams. You’ve constantly and tirelessly worked for your dream, what fault do you have? The only mistake is encountering a scumbag, but, Sister Mingyi, in this lifetime, who doesn’t meet a few scumbags, right?"

Wan Mingyi was dazed.

Since Lovesickness was plagiarized, no one could understand her.

Her best friend said, "You, a student of accounting, you won’t pursue a career as a jewelry designer anyway. Since your dreams won’t be realized, isn’t it good that your handsome, rich boyfriend is fulfilling them for you?"

Her parents also said, "You have skills that others can utilize, you should be secretly happy! Maybe he’ll see you can contribute to his business and you guys can last longer, it’s most important to settle the marriage soon. Whatever is yours or his, won’t it all be yours once you’re married? What’s the difference?"

Even when she impulsively broke up with him, both her friend and parents angrily called her a fool.

But now, at this first meeting, Ye Li said, "You’re not wrong!"

It was as if, with tough words of disapproval, she had just toughed it out.

But once someone showed care and asked her if she was okay, her tears could no longer be held back.

Tears streamed down her face, Wan Mingyi covered her face and sobbed for a long time.

It took more than ten minutes for her emotions to calm down.

"Sorry, Ye Li, for making you see this embarrassing sight!"

With red eyes and nose, Wan Mingyi wiped her tears and then took the tissue Ye Li offered, gently dabbing at her wind-chapped face, "Thank you for appearing!"

After spacing out alone by the seaside for so long, Wan Mingyi had steeled her resolve.

She didn’t want that scumbag anymore.

Nor did she want the dream that thoroughly broke her heart anymore.

Everyone thought she was reaching too high, persisting in something clearly unachievable—researching, running around to exhibitions, why bother?

Better to focus on cooking nourishing soups and beauty treatments, securing her wealthy boyfriend was more important.

But the moment Ye Li said "having dreams is the most beautiful," Wan Mingyi realized she couldn’t give up.

Every time she opened an accounting book, she felt like dying, but even just hearing the words "jewelry design," she would be invigorated.

How could she give up her dreams!

"Ye Li, thank you!"

With sincere eyes again, Wan Mingyi sniffed, "I won’t give up on my dreams! So what if I can’t become a jewelry designer? I can be an intern, assist a jewelry designer. If all else fails, even being a cleaner is okay. Gold will shine eventually. I won’t give up!"

Intern.

Assistant.

Cleaner?

Seeing Wan Mingyi, who had rejuvenated after a good cry, an idea sparked in Ye Li’s mind.

"Sister Ming Yi, I have a bold idea, do you... want to join?"

The stunningly beautiful girl, with a sly look in her eyes, shimmered with temptation.

As if an epiphany struck her with a brilliant idea.

For a moment, Wan Mingyi felt as if she stood in a fog-enshrouded forest.

On the verge of breaking down when lost, suddenly, a fiery red fox appeared.

The fox walked forward with an enticing sway, its fluffy, soft tail swinging left and right.

A seductive voice rose from the empty woods overhead: "Ahead could be great riches, or maybe a profound abyss, dare you come?

Want to... take a bet?"

Yes!

She wanted!

Wan Mingyi stared at Ye Li, "Okay, I’ll join!"

???

Is this too impulsive?

Ye Li paused, a smile breaking across her face.
