After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!-Chapter 255 This is What You Owe Me

The phone’s ringing jolted Ye Li so hard that she almost felt her soul scatter.

She seemed startled and tensed up.

The man behind her, as if triggered, tightly gripped her waist, almost sending both her body and soul flying.

Yanci pulled her back into his arms; Ye Li nudged him to keep him quiet, barely answering the call before it disconnected.

It was the stylist she had arranged to meet, "Mrs. Fu, we have picked up your dress. Would three o’clock this afternoon be alright?"

Ye Li subconsciously relaxed, "Yes, that would be okay."

As she finished speaking, her waist was encircled and pulled back into Yanci’s arms.

After hanging up the phone, a dissatisfied voice came from behind her, "Ah Li, three o’clock is too early!"

???

Embarrassed and annoyed, Ye Li kicked him, "Get out!"

The man pressed closer, "Just let me hold you a little longer..."

"But Yanci, I’m starving..."

Ye Li said weakly.

From his voice, Yanci’s excitement was palpable, "Really? Good, I haven’t finished eating either..."

Ye Li: !!!

"Yanci, I knew I was too kind! If I had known you were about to pounce like a wolf, I should have left you to suffer alone at home, I..."

Her words were cut off as her lips were bitten by the man.

Ye Li glared at him in anger.

Yanci smiled, "Ah Li, you owe me this!"

Uncontrollably, her mind flashed back to that day in the Fu Group’s rooftop resting room, when he suddenly left and then returned to bite her shoulder, telling her she owed him.

Ye Li: ...

On the verge of tears and fortunately, Yanci wasn’t serious about his threat.

She overheard the sound of running water from the bathtub. Ye Li lay back in bed and finally took a deep breath of relief.

After having a bath and eating a meal, Ye Li said she wanted to watch TV.

Just a few minutes in, Yanci couldn’t bear it anymore.

He was about to lament the glamour of such boring variety shows — could any of those fresh faces be more handsome than your husband?

When Yanci looked down again, he saw the girl snugly asleep in his arms.

The warm sunlight poured over her stunningly beautiful face, making it look both innocent and enticing.

Her fair skin was like sprinkled milk, nearly translucent.

His already tender heart felt as if it had turned into cotton candy, softly and sweetly melting a little.

Yanci bent down and gently kissed her lips, then tenderly carried her upstairs.

Half-asleep, Ye Li thought she heard the doorbell ring. She called Yanci’s name in a daze and glanced at her phone, immediately waking up fully.

Stepping out of the bedroom, she saw the living room filled with several stylists sitting rigidly as if in a meeting.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting..."

Hearing Ye Li’s voice, the makeup artists and stylists all turned in unison, their expressions brightening as if seeing a savior.

Knowing Yanci’s presence was making everyone uneasy, Ye Li took a sip from the water glass he handed her, her voice soft, "Yanci, why don’t you go to the study and get busy? I will call you when I’m done, okay?"

It’s a major Saturday, what could he be busy with?

He wanted to say he just liked staying there watching her, but meeting her deep gaze, he changed his mind.

Yanci nodded, "Okay!"

The moment the study door closed, the atmosphere in the living room visibly relaxed.

Ye Li smiled softly.

The few people working on makeup and styling exchanged knowing glances.

When they were arranged to come to Lishan Mansion to do the makeup and styling for Mrs. Fu, everyone thought it was because Uncle Fu had reached an age suitable for a splendid business marriage.

After all, Imperial City widely recognized Uncle Fu’s indifference to women; no female companion had ever appeared beside him.

Thinking good fortune was around the corner, on the way over, they all prepared a basket of compliments.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Fu turned out to be Ye Li, the recently bankrupted young Miss of the Ye Family.

Even more unexpectedly, Yanci’s actions and behavior towards Ye Li were more than just protective.

His every look and gesture were indulgent.

It seemed that, whatever she said, he would nod and agree.

Gentle and indulgent, he was entirely different from the frosty, cold Uncle Fu who seemed as if a gaze from him could freeze someone.

Everyone looked at Ye Li again, less with curiosity and more with a distinct respect.
