Chapter 1045: Chapter 1089: An Unexpected Encounter on a Date

Li Yifei stepped out of Michelle’s office and was descending the stairs between the second and first floor when he encountered Chen Min again. Li Yifei nodded to her, intending to pass by.

Chen Min deliberately leaned closer to Li Yifei and whispered, "President Li, you really are something."

Li Yifei stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at Chen Min, saying, "What do you mean?"

Chen Min blinked at Li Yifei and said, "President Li wouldn’t forget that I’m Su Yiyi’s classmate, right? That day at school, I saw you with Manager Mi."

Li Yifei narrowed his eyes and said, "I remember, so what?"

"It’s nothing, I just feel that President Li really has a way with women. So many beautiful girls like you."

Li Yifei said indifferently, "You know that’s enough. Don’t talk too much."

"Of course, I know my place and I definitely won’t blab," Chen Min said with another smile. "President Li, I’m off to work."

Striding upstairs lightly, Chen Min felt pleased with herself. Li Yifei’s words made her feel that she now had leverage over him. Should she need something from him in the future, Li Yifei would surely agree. She had not spoken directly because she had not yet decided what she wanted from Li Yifei.

Li Yifei didn’t consider Chen Min a big deal. The fact that he was popular with the ladies wasn’t something he wanted to broadcast, but a few people knew it already. He certainly didn’t think a student like Chen Min would be so scheming.

Having reached the ground floor, Li Yifei sat in his car and waited for a few minutes before Michelle sneaked in, looking around cautiously and with the air of a cat burglar, which Li Yifei found amusing.

Once Michelle slipped into the car like a thief, Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Michelle, we aren’t thieves, no need for all this cloak-and-dagger, right?"

"We have to, though. I don’t mind, and Sister Yingying doesn’t either, but other people may not understand. If someone sees us, wouldn’t that be troublesome? For now, this is how it is, and I think it’s quite good."

"So Michelle has this sort of kink, finding pleasure in these situations."

Michelle slapped Li Yifei on the shoulder lightly and scolded, "Stop it, I do not! It’s all because you haven’t talked to my parents yet. They haven’t agreed, and I wouldn’t dare let everybody know."

Now that she was officially Li Yifei’s girlfriend, Michelle felt especially affectionate. Perhaps it was the tension from the recent past, but once released, her intensity was even stronger than most.

"Alright, I’ll try my best soon. But Michelle, I won’t deceive you, the difficulty level is still quite high if I go now. It’s better to take it slow. If your parents remain unyielding, then maybe I’ll move you up in the schedule, which should reduce the resistance."

Michelle knew that Li Yifei was referring to the sequence of getting married. Though she was not yet living in Li Yifei’s home, she was privy to many things, especially those concerning their future.

Michelle quickly interjected, "No, no, that won’t do. I can’t just cut in line like that. It could make others feel uncomfortable. I don’t want to be ostracized before I’ve even joined the family."

"It’s not that serious. We all understand each other."

"That’s exactly why I need to be more considerate, not to disrupt this understanding. If someone feels upset and speaks to you about it, wouldn’t that put you in a difficult position?"

"Michelle, wouldn’t that be too unfair to you?"

"What’s unfair? I’ve decided to be with you, and I’ve considered all these things. We can take our time. Anyway, people are marrying later and later. If you can marry me before I turn thirty, then my parents will definitely be convinced."

"Michelle, I truly am..."

"Then say something nice, I love hearing it," Michelle said, tilting her head and smiling sweetly at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei was originally quite touched, but Michelle’s playful antics made him laugh as he responded, "Alright, my Little Snow is gentle and considerate. A girl like her is hard to find, even with a lantern. Being with me now, I must have chanted countless mantras in my past life to have earned such a blessing."

"There’s more, isn’t there?" Michelle’s eyes crinkled into slits, her brows curved like crescent moons, her face flushed with happiness and joy.

Over the past year, Li Yifei had become used to being with women, and sweet nothings came easily to him. He knew these pleasantries were important to say often, as women always liked to hear them, no matter how much they heard.

Contended, Michelle giggled the entire trip, until they arrived at a homely little restaurant.

Li Yifei had only recently discovered this eatery while looking for romantic venues around Mile City. The place had a unique flavor, and they only served five tables per day, requiring reservations in the morning for a spot. That morning, before Li Yifei went to the office, he thought about having lunch with Michelle, so he had already booked a table in advance.

Michelle was clinging to Li Yifei’s arm. Wherever they went for a meal was unimportant; what mattered most was that she could be close and affectionate with Li Yifei.

"Ah! Big brother, it’s you." As they entered, the waitress at the door exclaimed in surprise.

Li Yifei turned his head to look, equally surprised. The girl was the same one he had encountered that day in the Western restaurant, who had later come to his house to apply for a job. He hadn’t hired her at the time and hadn’t followed up on how she was doing. He hadn’t expected to bump into her again today.

Li Yifei gave a slight smile and said, "Yes, I didn’t expect to see you again either."

"Yes, brother, I didn’t expect to meet you here either."

"How did you end up here?"

"I’m working here. After I visited your place last time... since you didn’t hire me, I kept looking for work. I had two other jobs, both were... later, I found this place. It seems quite good, and I’ve already been working for over a week."

The girl didn’t go into details about the two jobs, but Li Yifei could guess. The girl was very pretty; if she went to a messy place, she would definitely draw unwanted attention, so it was normal for her to not stick around.

"Mmm, make sure you go back to school after the holiday. Doing some work-study programs in school would be safer."

The girl nodded repeatedly, saying, "Mmm, once I enroll, I will strive to do that."

"Good, we are going to eat now, you’re busy," Li Yifei nodded and proceeded further inside.

The girl hurried after them, saying, "Big brother, let me lead the way, I am in charge of welcoming guests."

"Oh, I’m in the Plum Blossom Room."

"Okay."

The girl hurried ahead to lead the way. After bringing Li Yifei and Michelle to their room, she bit her lip and spoke softly, "Big brother, could you tell me your name and phone number?" She quickly added, "I’ll pay you back later."

Li Yifei smiled slightly, "No need, that money is for you. Since I didn’t hire you and caused you to work hard outside, consider it compensation."

"Big brother, I later found out that you needed a long-term worker. Since I have to attend university, I couldn’t work for you. I really need the money now for registration and tuition fees, but I must pay you back."

At that moment, the girl resembled Su Yiyi from the past: seemingly fragile yet very determined in her actions. This also touched Li Yifei’s heartstrings, and he said, "My name is Li Yifei, here’s my business card. If you run into any difficulties, you can call me, and I’ll help you."

The girl eagerly took the business card, her face brimming with joy. After glancing at it, she carefully tucked it into her pocket and said, "Brother Li, my name is Jiang Ningxiang."

"That’s a very pretty name," Li Yifei couldn’t help but compliment.

"Thank you, Brother Li. What would you like to eat? I’ll order for you right away."

Li Yifei and Michelle ordered four dishes, and Jiang Ningxiang left jubilantly.

"She’s a really nice girl." Michelle winked at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile, "Michelle, you are really becoming like them. Whenever I talk to any pretty girl, you have that tone, as if I want to get my hands on every pretty girl I see."

Michelle pouted, "Who told you to have so many women around you."

"Okay, my fault, but I’m also quite surprised. I didn’t know this girl at all before, and in just one month’s time, I’ve already seen her three times."

Michelle giggled softly, "Maybe that’s fate."

"You..." Li Yifei extended his hand and pinched Michelle’s cheek across the small square table, jokingly saying, "If I were that kind of man, I would have made my move on you long ago."

Michelle grabbed Li Yifei’s wrist, her face rubbing affectionately against his palm, coquettishly saying, "If you wanted to take advantage of someone, they might not agree. I’m not that easy." Michelle’s cheeks were smooth and tender to the touch, truly comfortable. During their time together, they hadn’t been overly intimate; kissing was the most common act between them. Despite the physical contact, Li Yifei found himself actually enjoying it. Now for him, going to bed was not something he pursued; this kind of soulful love was what mesmerized him even more.
