After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!-Chapter 275: Furious Explosion

"I’m not sure."

Ye Li’s words instantly halted the soaring heart of Fu Yanci.

Her brow furrowed in contemplation, she said, "Fu Yanci, the feeling you give me is nothing like that of Zhou Hecchen."

No sooner had she spoken than she realized her mistake, Ye Li rapidly explained, "Fu Yanci, I didn’t mean to compare you two—really, I didn’t, you..."

The car jolted violently, yet the man seemed oblivious, staring straight ahead he demanded, "Keep talking!"

"There are many moments when your attitudes are poles apart, and I find it curious. Then, quietly to myself, I’d marvel at just how different people can be."

Picking at the texture of the seatbelt, Ye Li murmured, "Zhou Hecchen wouldn’t let me wear miniskirts or hot pants, not even those trending ’disappearing bottoms’ that even my parents found attractive, saying they made my legs look longer. But Zhou Hecchen forbade it, claiming others would find me frivolous and indecent."

"I countered him, pointing out he already had a fiancée, yet he frequented nightclubs and was constantly seen with other girls. Doesn’t that make him appear more frivolous and irresponsible? Fu Yanci, do you know what he said?"

A faint smile playing on his lips, Fu Yanci responded gravely, "A man’s networking, just a matter of face. Why take it seriously? If you do, it means you’re too narrow-minded, lacking generosity."

???

Ye Li’s eyes widened, "Exactly, such double standards are typical of you men!"

Fu Yanci chuckled, "Ah Li, not me! Didn’t you ask me to guess what he said?"

"But you guessed right; that means you think the same."

Ye Li puffed up with pride, tilting her chin up.

"Ah Li, I really don’t think that way!"

As his voice faded, realizing he’d veered miles away from the answer he sought, Fu Yanci pressed, "So, you think I’m different from him?"

"Of course you are!"

The girl nodded vigorously, counting off on her fingers, "You fulfill the promises you make to me, consider what I need without my asking, and do it so well! And... you’ve never dismissed me. You’ve always praised me, saying I’m the best and have been supportive!"

"Fu Yanci!"

Ye Li looked up at the man, "If I replaced that bastard with you, I suddenly realize, I couldn’t accept it!"

"Thinking of you draping your arm around another woman, then slowly withdrawing it when you see me, telling me it’s just a party game and not to take it seriously."

"Remembering how you’d suggest going out and end up at a bar you know I hate, convincing me half a drink won’t make me drunk, then calling me prudish when caught in the lie."

"Recalling those times you’d kick me out of the car when angry, leaving me mid-road, swallowing cold night air, unable to hail a cab, too scared to tell my parents..."

She seemed to relive many aggrieved and infuriating moments—except these were not acts of Zhou Hecchen but of Fu Yanci himself, Ye Li glaring at him, seething with anger.

Fu Yanci appeared to understand the fury and remonstration in the girl’s eyes.

His gaze earnest, he assured, "Ah Li, I would never!"

"I know you wouldn’t!"

Ye Li nodded, "When Zhou Hecchen did it, I would be angry just for a short while and then let it slide, as if a voice inside me said, ’Never mind, he’s not worth it.’ But Fu Yanci..."

"If it were you, just the thought of it makes me feel like I’m about to explode!"

Fu Yanci was taken aback.

Her gaze and expression softening, the girl continued, "Fu Yanci, when you’re mad, I fear you’ll stay angry at me for a long time. When you say you feel bad, I can’t help but rush to see you without caring whether it’s true or not. When you call me beautiful, hold me, kiss me, tease me... To think it could’ve been Zhou Hecchen, I just..."

"Ah Li!"

Unable to bear even the thought, Fu Yanci cut her off with a stern interruption.

Bang!

A loud noise invaded.
