Chapter 12: Flushed face

Just as Ye Fanxing finished speaking, Mother Ye raised her hand and gave her a slap in the face, thus shocking Ye Fanxing.

Half of her face felt numb…

In order to force her to marry someone, her mother would go so far as to hit her?

Not only that, but Mother Ye even began to cry, “Old Ye, look at your daughter! She wants to anger her mother to death!”

Ye Fanxing looked at her mother who was biting back, and simply did not know what to say.

She took her luggage with her straight out the door.

Jiang Sen was waiting for her downstairs and saw her come down. He helped her carry her luggage into the trunk.

–

“Uncle, we’re back.” When they returned to the villa, only Fu Jingyu was there.

Ye Fanxing walked over and looked at the man who was sitting alone. She felt that he had an indescribable aura of loneliness constantly surrounding him.

Fu Jingyu lifted his head and looked at the little girl beside Jiang Sen. Being young is nice. She had just cried earlier that day, and he thought that she would be in a bad mood for a long time but she looked much better now.

Fu Jingyu looked at Jiang Sen, “Pack up. We’re leaving tomorrow.”

“Yes.” Jiang Sen was somewhat surprised. The family had been urging Fu Jingyu to come home for so long before but he did not listen. However, he finally decided to return now?

Nevertheless, this was a good thing. He didn’t ask anything and went to pack up at once.

Ye Fanxing’s gaze fell on Fu Jingxiang, “Leaving?”

“We’re going back to Jiangzhou.” Fu Jingyu originally lived in Jiangzhou. He had been staying here because he wanted some peace.

Ye Fanxing looked at him, “Then I…”

“What? You don’t want to come back with me?” Fu Jingyu frowned. Although they hadn’t received a marriage license yet, they had already signed the marriage agreement. She was already determined as his wife so naturally, he had to bring her back.

Sensing the ominous mood emanating from him, Ye Fanxing explained, “No, I mean, are you going to take me back with you? I don’t have any relatives over there, either.”

She used to live in school there before. When she came back this time, she really didn’t know what to do.

Fu Jingyu couldn’t help but smile, “Why are you so cute? Am I not here?”

The relationship between them was closer than family at the moment.

Jiang Sen was standing on the side and inadvertently saw the smile on Fu Jingyu’s face. He felt a little bit fearful.

How long has it been since Mr. Fu last smiled?

He smiled just now!

Fu Jingyu’s smile fell on Ye Fanxing’s charming little face. She had just been slapped by Mother Ye and her face was swelling a little, “You got beaten?”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m sturdy anyway so I’m not afraid of being hit.” Which child has not been hit by their parents?

When Ye Fanxing and Ye Zichen were naughty as children, they would be beaten.

However… The slap this time made her feel sadder than every other time she was hit in the past.

Because… when her mother hit her this time, it wasn’t because she did something wrong but because she wanted to force her to marry someone.

Fu Jingyu deeply watched her behavior and stretched out his finger to gently caress her cheek. His fingers seemed to have electric current moving through them. Although they were slightly cold, they made Ye Fanxing very nervous.

After all, she was just a little girl that had never been so close to the opposite sex like this.

She felt somewhat embarrassed so she started talking to distract herself, “It’s really alright, it’s going to be fine in a couple of days.”

Being stared at by him like this, she felt that her heart was not behaving as it usually did. It thumped hard enough to make her think it was going to fly out of her chest.

The words that Jiang Sen said when signing the agreement two days ago inexplicably appeared in Ye Fanxing’s mind. Later on, she would have to carry on the ancestral line on behalf of Uncle.

The simple words “carry on the ancestral line” made Ye Fanxing’s face flush deepen even further.

Fu Jingyu frowned, “Have you not yet recovered enough that your face is still burning so much?”

“…”

Keke, hahaha~
