First, there was that ridiculous office stunt.
Then, the teasing in the fitting room.
After leaving the gown customization center, Ye Li refused to return to the office with Fu Yanci.
"Fu Yanci, didn’t you say that if I charged forward, you would support from behind? Now that I’m trying, you’re just holding back. Fu Yanci, you’ve been deceiving all along, haven’t you?"
The girl spoke with conviction, as if his reluctance to let her go was a stumbling block on her path to success.
Fu Yanci looked at her helplessly. "Ah Li, do you use all your eloquence on alone?"
Is that so?
Ye Li blinked.
The car stopped in front of the Jingyue Building, and Fu Yanci rubbed Ye Li’s head. "How about I co over later to pick you up, and we have dinner together?"
"No!"
Ye Li’s refusal was decisive. "I need to go ho for dinner today. I’ve been leaving early and returning late these past few days, and haven’t spent proper ti with Mom."
By bringing up Li Xueqing, Fu Yanci had no reason to persist.
His palm slid from the top of Ye Li’s head to her cheek, his thumb lightly touching her red lips. "When you’re not busy, co by the office. You know the password, and you know the way."
Fu Yanci smiled. "Mrs. Fu’s surprise inspections are welco!"
Ye Li: ...
She felt a burn on her back as she walked far away. When Ye Li entered the lobby of the building and looked back, sure enough, the Maybach was still parked at the roadside.
Through the privacy film, it seed like she could see the man’s smiling eyes.
Just like every ti before, when he would drop her off at school.
Ye Li turned and ran quickly.
Once she entered the studio, she completely lost track of ti until her phone rang, and the driver said he had arrived downstairs. Only then did Ye Li look out the window to see the lights dimd.
"Ming Yi, work is endless, you should also head ho early," she said.
After greeting her, Ye Li headed straight downstairs and drove directly to Ye Mansion.
After dinner and a walk, when she returned to the mansion, Li Xueqing glanced at the ti and rushed back to her room. "I’ll talk to your father now that he just woke up..."
Ye Li paused.
After sitting alone in the living room for a while, Fu Yanci’s WeChat ssage finally snapped Ye Li back to reality.
Looking at the closed door of the master bedroom on the first floor, the bitterness in her heart seed to seep into her eyes.
In her dreams, she hoped for her mother’s recovery.
Yet thinking about the recovery aning her mother would learn the true situation of her father’s absence, Ye Li didn’t want it anymore.
How loving they were before would mirror the sorrow that would follow.
Tears seeped from the corner of her eyes as Ye Li gazed at the crescent moon in the night sky, her emotions heavier than ever.
Let her mother continue like this, believing her father was abroad, believing their ho remained unchanged—living forever in this warm yet false dream.
Oh Lord, please!
A dreamless night.
The alarm rang, and Ye Li got up refreshed, had breakfast, and went to the office.
After instructing the driver a few things, she returned to the dining room where Li Xueqing smiled at Aunt Lan. "Sister Lan, don’t prepare ingredients for lunch. We’ll eat out after shopping."
Aunt Lan nodded. "Alright!"
She watched Li Xueqing walk into the bedroom and skillfully dialed a phone number.
Li Xueqing’s first ntion of going out had sent Aunt Lan into panic.
Afraid of encountering soone familiar in the mall, who, with a sorrowful expression, would co up to her and say, "Mrs. Ye, my condolences!"
The car stopped in the shopping mall’s underground parking lot, and the mont the car door opened, Aunt Lan felt her heart clench.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
Aunt Lan trusted Uncle Fu to handle things.
But the thought of continuing the deception weighed heavily on her.
