After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!-Chapter 236: The Place Where Dreams Begin

For several days in a row, Ye Li left home early and returned late.

After having dinner and taking a stroll with Li Xueqing, she would take a bath and almost instantly fall asleep upon getting back into bed.

In just a few days, Ye Li’s originally small face seemed to have become even smaller, and her chin sharper.

Yet, her entire demeanor appeared exceptionally bright and splendid.

While feeling sorry for her, Li Xueqing joked with Aunt Lan, saying that a woman busy with her career truly shines.

Perhaps it was because Ye Li was generous with the renovation expenses.

Or maybe it was because the workers wanted to finish the job early to go home for the New Year.

Everything progressed smoothly and neatly, and it all wrapped up by Sunday noon.

By the time the cleaning ladies had swirled their brooms, mops, and window cleaners, and as the evening sun set, Ye Li stood in front of the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling window, her initial eagerness turning into anticipation.

This place would be where she started her dream.

Her gaze swept past the nearby Fu Group building, and after hesitating for a moment, Ye Li dialed Fu Yanci’s number.

"Fu Yanci, are you in the office?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

As she looked towards the top floor’s windows, Ye Li asked softly.

On the other end, Fu Yanci paused for a moment.

He pulled his phone away to check, confirmed that it was Sunday and not a weekday, and instead of answering, Fu Yanci asked, "Ah Li, where are you?"

"I’m at..."

Just as she was about to spill the beans, Ye Li played coy, "Fu Yanci, I’m near your company. Want to come find me?"

From Tuesday to Sunday, they hadn’t seen each other for six days.

Although they chatted on WeChat during the day and video-called before sleep, it was still different from meeting in person.

His eyes glanced over the few people in the private room, and Fu Yanci nodded, "Okay, send me the address, I’ll come over!"

"Waiting for you!"

Her voice playful, she hung up the phone and sent over an address.

Jingyue Building.

With a flicker of his brow, Fu Yanci replied with "I’ll be right there," and turned around to enter the private room.

Minutes later, his Maybach sped towards the Jingyue Building.

[Ah Li, I’m at the Jingyue Building. Which floor?]

[1601.]

[Okay!]

When Ye Li received Fu Yanci’s message, she stood leaning against the wall near the elevator entrance.

The office building was quiet on the weekend, and most of the elevators were still at the first floor.

Only one was active, the numbers flickering until it reached 16.

With a soft "ding," Ye Li straightened up just in time to see Fu Yanci stepping out of the elevator.

She paused in her gaze.

It was just a few days, yet had Fu Yanci gotten... even more handsome?

After hanging up, she realized her mistake - on weekends, Fu Yanci couldn’t possibly be in the office.

Yet, there he was, dressed as if he had just come from a meeting.

"You were just at a social event, weren’t you?"

Ye Li asked cautiously.

Fu Yanci nodded.

Ye Li’s eyes filled with regret, "Fu Yanci, I’m sorry, I didn’t know. If I had, I would have..."

Before she could finish, a rich sandalwood scent, aggressive and overpowering the mild fragrance in the air, enveloped her.

His long arms drew her close, his voice deep, "No social event is as crucial as Lady’s summon."

As his words fell, a kiss full of longing followed.

Their separation overflowed with yearning.

But with their reunion, what overflowed even more was anticipation.

Yet, Fu Yanci hadn’t expected that in just a few days, his Ah Li seemed to have become even more sensitive.

Just one kiss, and her face flushed as she melted into his embrace.

The blush on her cheeks and the defiant look in her eyes posed a significant challenge to him.

He let go before he lost control, bowed his head, and nuzzled Ye Li’s nose, "Ah Li, shall we go home?"

Go home?

Oh my god, she’d almost forgotten the most important thing!

"Fu Yanci, come with me..."

Suppressing her embarrassment, Ye Li pulled Fu Yanci toward 1601 and pointed at an unopened plaque covered with a red cloth, "The unveiling ceremony starts now, Uncle Fu, please!"

Her smile bright, her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at him.

Even if it was just a beginning, pride surged within Fu Yanci’s heart.
