After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!-Chapter 269: That was close, almost lost!

The sound of rushing water woke her up as Ye Li tossed and turned in a daze.

By the time the blanket was lifted and the damp fragrance filled with mist drifted over, Ye Li opened her eyes to meet Fu Yanci, who was holding a strand of her hair, planning to scratch her awake.

Their eyes met, and Ye Li broke into a smile.

The smile on Fu Yanci’s face deepened.

"Ah Li..."

Holding the girl in his arms, Fu Yanci asked with anticipation, "What did you want to tell me last night?"

Ye Li blinked, "What?"

Surprised, a hint of urgency appeared in his eyes, "Before sleeping, you wanted to talk to me, but you fell asleep before finishing. Did you forget? You said, you felt a bit... Ah Li, tell me what it was?"

Ye Li was stunned, her mind blank for a moment.

First, it was Uncle Fu at the banquet, who backed her up in every action.

Then her mother suddenly showed up.

Crying for too long made her head fuzzy.

And then when he gently soothed her, understanding her complicated and awkward emotions, Ye Li didn’t even realize when she had let her guard down.

She almost blurted out, "I think I’m falling in love with you."

That was close!

She almost lost!

Chu Chu said, "In love, it doesn’t matter who falls first, but whoever confesses first loses."

Ye Li agreed wholeheartedly.

Fortunately, although she was drowsy, her mind didn’t let her down.

"I... I don’t remember..."

Her heart beating wildly, Ye Li looked innocently at the man, "Fu Yanci, are you sure I said that?"

Fu Yanci: ...

After a brief silence, anger appeared in his eyes.

Inside, a voice was tempting him, making him faintly guess what her words might have been.

But unfortunately, after a night, the little liar refused to admit it.

For a moment, Fu Yanci regretted.

If he had known, he would have woken her up last night to let her finish what she was saying before sleeping.

Holding the girl tightly in his arms, Fu Yanci lowered his head and bit her collarbone under her pajamas, "Ah Li, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?"

"No... Fu Yanci, I didn’t!"

It was more of a kiss than a bite.

Along with the uncovered embarrassment, it made Ye Li feel uncomfortably shy.

But having just struggled a bit, Ye Li didn’t dare to move anymore.

Her face flushed, she looked at the dark blue fabric on Fu Yanci’s chest and gently pushed him, "Get off!"

"No!"

Fu Yanci leaned down and hugged her, "You stirred up the fire, you handle it!"

"Fu Yanci... you... get off!"

With just one push, the danger intensified.

Ye Li didn’t dare move.

Although she didn’t know what time it was, it was inevitably morning.

Not to mention this was the Ye Mansion.

She had completely forgotten to ask why he was in her bedroom last night amidst her fuzzy state.

Even though she knew her mother was already aware of her relationship with Fu Yanci, without having a wedding ceremony, to sleep together so openly, Ye Li herself felt somewhat awkward.

If she woke up late...

"Fu Yanci, I was wrong, I, I didn’t do anything, I didn’t provoke you, okay?"

Ye Li was close to crying.

The girl’s voice was tearful, sounding exactly like how she’s about to cry after being bullied by him.

Yet, what she said was true.

His voice husky, Fu Yanci lowered his head to kiss her, "Ah Li, don’t move... Let me hold you just for a while, just a while!"

She wanted to agree.

Also wanted to ask, "Fu Yanci, are you sure it’s just for a while?"

But Ye Li dared not make a sound.

She was securely held in his arms, letting his steady and rapid heartbeat pound in her ears like thunder.

Again and again.
