It was already late when they ca down from the Ferris wheel, with Xiao Bao holding one hand of Fu Yanci and the other one of Ye Li, bouncing and hopping all the way, clearly in a good mood.
Ye Li would laugh and be mischievous, and even pulled faces with Xiao Bao, but she avoided looking at him.
Fu Yanci sighed deeply in his heart.
The Maybach raced back to Lishan Mansion.
Once inside the villa, Ye Li ruffled Xiao Bao’s hair, "It’s late, go to sleep early. I’ll take you out to play sothing else tomorrow!"
Xiao Bao nodded excitedly.
Ye Li turned around and went upstairs.
By the ti Fu Yanci returned to the master bedroom, the large room was pitch black, with only a faint humid fragrance lingering in the air.
Knowing it was intentional, Fu Yanci’s gaze showed helplessness as he groped his way to the bathroom.
The sound of water splashing started, and Ye Li pulled open the quilt, exhaling softly.
Ye Li herself couldn’t clearly say what she was angry about.
Was she angry that Fu Yanci was petty, since she had already apologized sincerely and he didn’t accept it?
Or was it sothing else?
Lost in thought, Ye Li didn’t even notice when the water stopped.
The bathroom door opened with a buzz, light filtered through, and Ye Li suddenly snapped back to reality, quickly closing her eyes.
The mont Fu Yanci practically lay into the quilt, he realized the girl was pretending to sleep again.
The sleeping Ye Li was relaxed like a sponge.
But now, under the quilt, she was stiff as a piece of wood.
His gaze amused, Fu Yanci leaned over.
"Ye Li, I’ve already apologized. Let’s let bygones be bygones. Can we not hold grudges overnight?"
The man’s voice arose beside her ear, his breath tickling her neckline, making the hairs on Ye Li’s neck tingle.
Pretending to be asleep, Ye Li remained silent.
The man chuckled softly, "Mrs. Fu, do you realize your acting is quite poor and easily seen through?"
???
Ye Li stiffened.
Snap!
The bedside lamp lit up.
She instinctively opened her eyes, eting the amused expression of the man above her.
Scowling, Ye Li glared at him, "You say let it go, but I’m not over it yet."
Fu Yanci raised an eyebrow, "Okay, then tell why you’re angry, and if it’s my fault, I’ll apologize."
"I..." I never used the sa thod to coax Zhou Hecchen.
Words on her lips, but thinking that even ntioning ’little uncle’ could anger him, it clearly wasn’t the ti to bring up Zhou Hecchen.
Ye Li fell silent.
Fu Yanci didn’t pry any further, rely whispering softly, "Ye Li, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have doubted you. It’s just, the thought of you compromising yourself to please others really angers ."
Ye Li was stunned.
Fu Yanci continued gravely, "There are many ways to apologize. If I’m wrong, I should show it and accept any consequences. However, the prerequisite for punishnt is that it shouldn’t hurt your dignity. Any thod of apologizing that undermines one’s self-esteem is wrong, do you understand?"
Ye Li hadn’t expected this, she guessed the beginning but not the end.
Fu Yanci at night seed like a different person, his eyes and brows softer than during the day, and much more patient.
Ye Li’s courage gradually surged, "So, we’re even now, right?"
"Right."
Fu Yanci nodded, Ye Li sighed in relief.
Her stiff body also slowly relaxed.
Just as Fu Yanci leaned closer, "There’s one more thing I want to tell you..."
Ye Li looked up.
In the dim light, the man’s eyes were deep, "Mrs. Fu, although your way of showing regret was inappropriate, I really liked it!"
Before Ye Li could grasp what his words ant,
the man bowed his head, gently capturing her lips.
