Chapter 11 Suddenly Feel Very Embarrassed

Fu Jingyu, standing to the side, finally spoke up, "You can leave now."

Chiang Sen said, "...Alright."

For some reason, he vaguely felt that Mr. Fu was not very happy.

Did he say something wrong?

With this guilty thought, Chiang Sen closed the door behind him.

Only Fu Jingyu and Ye Fanxing remained in the room.

Ye Fanxing bowed her head, desperately holding back her tears, until she heard Fu Jingyu say, "If you want to cry, you can cry."

Earlier, when Ye Fanxing had borrowed money from him, he wondered why.

After all, under normal circumstances, tuition fees should be a concern for parents.

But now, he understood.

"..." Ye Fanxing, who had been barely controlling her emotions, could no longer hold back the moment Fu Jingyu's words fell.

When people are vulnerable, the slightest comfort from others often magnifies their own sorrow.

She cried for a long time, and only after she finished crying did she realize that Fu Jingyu had been by her side the whole time. Feeling embarrassed, Ye Fanxing lay on the bed without uttering a word.

This was her first time crying like an idiot in front of a stranger.

She took a peek and found that Fu Jingyu was reading a book.

He seemed to not take this matter to heart.

Looking at Fu Jingyu, she spoke up, "Uncle."

"Yes?" He lifted his head to look at Ye Fanxing.

Ye Fanxing said, "You must know about my family situation now. Our family is not doing well at all. Are you sure you want me to be your bride?"

"Does that matter?" Fu Jingyu's puzzled gaze made Ye Fanxing feel as if she had asked a very foolish question.

After all, he had said that he needed a bride, and he did not necessarily need to spend his entire life with her.

Although she did not know the reason, she felt that he must be under some kind of constraints.

After downing two bottles of medicine, Ye Fanxing felt much better. She then ate something to regain her strength.

As darkness approached, she returned home once to grab her belongings.

Her luggage and phone were still at home.

The Ye family was having dinner, and Mrs. Ye was still fretting about the Chen family visiting the next day, constantly nagging Ye Zichen, "Look at you, I want your sister to get married for your sake! But instead, you helped her run away..."

Seeing Ye Fanxing suddenly walk in, Mrs. Ye stood up, with a hint of surprise in her voice, "You are back!"

Ye Fanxing didn't look at her mother. She just wanted to get her things and leave.

Seeing her return, Mrs. Ye, relieved about tomorrow's arrangements, also looked more relaxed. "I will overlook your escapade with that man. Come eat, the Chen family will be here tomorrow. You need to behave well."

Ye Fanxing finally looked at her mother, and felt that the mother before her seemed like a stranger she did not recognize anymore.

She grabbed her things and was about to leave when Mrs. Ye reacted and held onto her, "Where are you going at this hour?"

Now that she was back, how could Mrs. Ye let her leave?

Ye Fanxing said, "You don't have to worry about me anymore, I'll handle my school affairs myself."

Ye Fanxing pushed away her mother's hand, thinking back to how her mother had ignored her when she was severely ill.

Now, her mother still wanted her to meet the Chen family.

"The Chen family will be coming tomorrow. You can't go anywhere before then," Mrs. Ye ordered forcefully.

Ye Fanxing coldly responded, "If you like them so much, marry them yourself. I won't!"
