The Maybach had left Lishan Mansion by nearly noon.
In the passenger seat, Ye Li was hunched over, tapping out a ssage on her phone, regardless of how much Fu Yanci tried to get her attention, she ignored him.
Knowing that the girl was irritated, during a red light, Fu Yanci reached out to pull her, "Ah Li, I was wrong, I’m sorry, okay? In a bit, I’ll explain to Granny, I’ll say it was who overslept, and it has nothing to do with you, okay?"
Ye Li glanced up and glared at him, "Afraid that people don’t know what you did, or why you overslept?"
"So what if they know? We are newlyweds, sweet as honey, and it’s legal since we have a marriage certificate."
Fu Yanci said with full conviction.
Ye Li: ...
After a long while, she muttered "Who’s sweet as honey with you," and lowered her head to send a ssage again.
Qin Chu had been ssaging her since the day before yesterday, asking if she wanted to go shopping for New Year’s Day.
Each pair of ssages was several hours apart.
And she had not replied at all from beginning to end.
Seemingly guessing what she was busy with, Qin Chu sent a smirking emoji, [Mrs. Fu, keep it up!]
On New Year’s Eve, which was last night, Qin Chu even went to visit Li Xueqing at the hospital.
She received a selfie from him, [Mom’s recovering well! Photo.jpg]
In the picture, Li Xueqing, dressed in blue and white hospital clothes, was watching television.
Her hair was neatly arranged, and she wore a faint smile on her face.
If she hadn’t failed to recognize Qin Chu, he would have almost thought she had recovered.
It was only now that she finally had the ti to reply to Qin Chu’s ssage, and seeing the "Mrs. Fu, keep it up" written just above the dialogue box made Ye Li unexpectedly blush.
She ssaged Qin Chu, who replied instantly.
[Chu Chu, I’m going to Fu Mansion for lunch now, I’ll co find you later.]
[I’m waiting at the airport.]
[??? Where are you going?]
[To Ireland for skiing.]
[...So love can vanish? Weren’t we supposed to go together during the Spring Festival?]
[Haha! Are you sure, you’ll be able to get out of bed during the holidays?]
[!!! Qin Chuchu, you’re dead at!]
[Aiyo, I’m so scared, Mrs. Fu, please show rcy!... I’m boarding now!]
After sending an emoji expressing "have fun," Ye Li turned back to look at Fu Yanci, filled with bla, "It’s all your fault! I should be with Chu Chu right now, going skiing in Ireland. Fu Yanci, it’s all because of you!"
The girl was getting better and better at playing the bla ga.
It was almost like seeing the capricious, bold, and radiant Miss Ye of the past.
Fu Yanci admitted his wrongs with ease, "Okay, it’s all my fault! So, how about I take you to Ireland for skiing during the Spring Festival, okay?"
Detecting an unexpectedly tender and indulgent tone, as if she was a child, Ye Li didn’t know whether to accept or refuse, and pretended to be busy ssaging, bowing her head to her phone again.
As the car approached the Fu Mansion, Ye Li suddenly sat upright, "Oh no! I forgot sothing very important!"
On Christmas night, while the three of them sat under the Christmas tree in Lishan Mansion opening presents, Ye Li had told a well-aning lie that the gift she prepared for Xiao Bao had been left in her school dorm room, and she would give it to him the next ti they t.
But she had forgotten about it.
She couldn’t just tell Xiao Bao: "I’ve been unwell these past few days and haven’t gone to school, right?"
Just thinking about the little guy shaking his head understandingly, yet unable to hide his disappointnt, filled Ye Li with regret and self-reproach.
"Fu Yanci, is there a shopping mall or toy store nearby?"
Ye Li turned to ask Fu Yanci.
"Get ready..."
Parking smoothly at the entrance of the alley, Fu Yanci drew Ye Li close and kissed her on the lips, "Do you know what the purpose of a husband is?"
Ye Li shook her head.
Fu Yanci smiled, "To make up for my wife’s oversights!"
Wife.
Ye Li’s heart skipped a beat.
