"I’m sorry okay..."
Ye Li was escorted all the way back to the lounge by Qin Chu, who attentively poured her a cup of hot water and defended himself, "I was just afraid you’d be so captivated by beauty that you couldn’t extricate yourself and make a big mistake before finishing school. Isn’t it enough that I’ve admitted my mistake? I’ll treat you to a big al tonight to apologize; does that make up for it?"
He knew he had said the wrong thing as soon as it ca out of his mouth, especially since Uncle Fu was still there.
But once words are spoken, they can’t be taken back like water that’s been spilled.
Uncle Fu didn’t seem angry, but it was Ye Li, usually good-natured, who looked ready to puff up like a pufferfish.
Qin Chu, with great caution, promised her a month’s worth of big als plus N 1 afternoon teas to settle things.
When he looked back, he t Fu Yanci’s eyes, who was wearing a smile and appeared to be in a good mood.
Just the thought of Fu Yanci overhearing their conversation...
Qin Chu: ...
Ye Li: !!! I really want to die!
By the ti they left the parking lot, it was evening. Knowing that Ye Li had plans with Fu Yanci that night, Qin Chu refused to go no matter how much Ye Li insisted that they were all friends.
The Ferrari drove out of the parking lot, and after a mont of silence, Ye Li turned to Fu Yanci and said, "Fu Yanci, Chu Chu is my best friend. Even if you don’t like her, please don’t show it in front of her, okay? I’m begging you!"
"Mrs. Fu, I need to correct a slip of the tongue for you."
Fu Yanci said with an amused look in his eyes, "First of all, I only like you. I don’t have the slightest interest in any other woman. So, even though Qin Chu is your best friend, it’s obvious that I will absolutely not like her! Of course, if you’re afraid I’ll have any bad thoughts about her, then I can clearly tell you that I won’t. Secondly..."
His tone shifted as he asked, "Why do you think I would have any bad thoughts about her?"
Ye Li’s heart raced with Fu Yanci’s words, "I only like you."
She really wanted to ask Fu Yanci, are you serious? Are you sure you like ? And what about Xiao Bao’s mother?
But her heart was racing so fast, it felt like it would leap out of her mouth if she spoke.
After a long silence, Ye Li said softly, "Chu Chu cos from a less than glamorous background. When we used to go out together, those girls from the wealthy circles didn’t like her. Neither did Zhou Hecchen and the others, so..."
When she ntioned Zhou Hecchen, Ye Li instinctively looked up at Fu Yanci.
She saw the man raise an eyebrow, "So in your eyes, am I no different than those n without discernnt?"
With a single sentence, he made his stance clear.
Moreover, he had already plainly stated he wouldn’t.
Ye Li quickly shook her head, trying to curry favor, "Of course not. Uncle Fu is wise and mighty, like a god descending to earth. How could those people even be ntioned in the sa breath as you?"
With that distraction, the questions in her heart lost their chance to be asked.
Ye Li felt sowhat downhearted.
She was annoyed at herself for feeling guilty without reason.
At the sa ti, she felt relieved she hadn’t questioned him.
Ye Li, you’re really making trouble for yourself!
Even if Xiao Bao’s mother cos back, you’re still the rightful Mrs. Fu. What are you afraid of?
She cheered herself up as they reached their destination. Ye Li got out of the car and naturally took Fu Yanci’s arm.
His gaze slipped over that patch of fair skin, and Fu Yanci’s eyes deepened.
Just a mont ago, she had a look of disdain, not wanting him to sit in the car and only wanting to drive fast herself.
Now, she was all gentle and compliant.
Was it because they were going to et his friends that she retracted her fierce little claws?
With an amused look in his eyes, Fu Yanci took Ye Li’s hand.
