After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!

Chapter 282 You’re Just Jealous

Fu Yanci could sense that the soft body in his arms had tensed for a moment when it heard the phrase, "Yanci, I’m back."

Yet even after he had finished the phone call and they had each taken their showers and returned, she hadn’t asked a single question.

Looking down, he saw the girl sleeping far away on the other side of the large bed, her quiet slumber looking unspeakably well-behaved.

Her little face was set in a frown, her eyelashes were closed, she looked as if she was angry.

Fu Yanci felt an itch in his heart.

"Ah Li..."

But just as he was about to open his mouth, the girl turned over, seeming truly about to go to sleep.

Even from her back, she was exuding an air of awkwardness.

Feeling quite content from the meal, his mood was exceptionally good at the moment.

Fu Yanci’s lips curved into a half-smile as he snuggled up to her back, "Ready to sleep?"

"Mm."

Her voice was a bit husky as Ye Li responded distantly, "I still have to go to the studio tomorrow."

As she spoke, Ye Li shoved him slightly, "Fu Yanci, you’re so heavy, lie on your own pillow."

"No!"

The man’s refusal was decisive, his breath tickled her bare back as he spoke, and it was both ticklish and prickling.

But as Ye Li moved forward a touch, the man followed suit, clinging to her in an airtight fashion, without any intention of letting go.

His chin brushed against her back, and not satisfied with just that, he bent down to kiss her, again and again, Fu Yanci opened his mouth and bit into her rounded shoulder, "Ah Li, don’t you have something you want to ask?"

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, Ye Li opened her eyes and then quickly shut them again.

She couldn’t help but recall the previous time when they had talked about his first love, how candid he had been, only to wake up the next day to see his cold indifference.

"Nothing."

Ye Li shrugged her shoulders, her feet within the blanket kicked his lower leg.

"Are you sure you don’t want to ask?"

There was a faint chuckle in his voice as Fu Yanci spoke straightforwardly, "There’s nothing between her and me. Besides being alumni from university, there’s been no further development."

"Ah Li..."

He bit into the back of Ye Li’s neck, then twisted his head and gently took her earlobe into his mouth, "Are you sure that you’re not just jealous now?"

???

Ye Li’s eyes snapped open.

Jealousy?

A single endearment like "Yanci, I’m back" was met with a cool "Ms. Jyang."

Not to mention the obvious distance in the man’s words.

What did she have to be jealous about?

Ye Li turned to glare at him, "Fu Yanci, whether it’s a university classmate or an ex-girlfriend, I have no interest in her whatsoever."

Fu Yanci raised an eyebrow, "Then what are you doing now?"

Ye Li was taken aback.

Fu Yanci leaned in and bit her chin, "When have you ever not clung to me in your sleep? Is a mere unfamiliar phone call worth you avoiding me as if you were wary, staying so far away?"

"Ah Li..."

He flipped Ye Li to face him, the delicate light flickering in Fu Yanci’s eyes, "You are jealous, aren’t you?"

She didn’t understand why he cared so much about whether she was jealous or not.

Right now, all Ye Li wanted was to sleep.

"Yes, yes, I’m jealous, alright now?"

Ye Li sighed in resignation, "Can I go to sleep now?"

"No!"

Pulling her into his arms, Fu Yanci leaned down to kiss her lips, "Ah Li, it really is just a university classmate! Same faculty, different majors, I only remember her name because we both come from Imperial City, that’s it."

To him, she was just a university classmate.

But to Ms. Jyang on the other end of the phone, the first thing she did upon returning to Imperial City was to call Fu Yan and tell him she was back.

Clearly, there was a misunderstanding between the two concerning the nature of their relationship.

Ye Li was lost in thought.

As if she was doubting and holding reservations about it.

Fu Yanci’s smile deepened in his eyes, and so did his kiss, "Ah Li, what must I do for you to believe me?"

She wanted to say she already believed him.

But before Ye Li could open her mouth, she was overwhelmed by the man’s kiss.
