Chapter 1074: Chapter 1117: The Agony of Longing

Over the weekend, Meng Xiaofei didn’t appear in front of everyone even once, always avoiding the group. Even during mealtimes, she had the nanny deliver food directly to her. After all, there was a dedicated young lady serving her in her villa, so there was absolutely no way she would go hungry.

After returning, Li Yifei had been in contact with Michelle but hadn’t met her in person. Knowing that Li Yifei had been away from home for so long, she thought this was the time he should be accompanying his wife, so she didn’t want to affect Li Yifei. Li Yifei, on the other hand, wanted Michelle to visit the Li family mansion, but Michelle refused. She felt that her relationship with Li Yifei hadn’t reached that point, so she still didn’t want to enter the mansion; that was Michelle’s stance.

Today, Li Yifei needed to go to Xu Yingying’s company because it was undergoing a restructuring, and today there would be a large meeting to mobilize all staff members. Now he could no longer act with the status he had before.

However, Li Yifei arrived quite early today, coming to the company an hour before the meeting. He also wanted to see Michelle, as he hadn’t seen her for several days and really missed her, considering they were also in a passionate relationship.

As soon as he entered the company, Li Yifei saw Chen Min, Su Yiyi’s college classmate. The last time Li Yifei had been to the company, he had seen her too.

"Ah, President Li, what a coincidence to see you again," Chen Min immediately greeted Li Yifei with a beaming smile.

Li Yifei responded with a slight smile, "It is a coincidence." He was polite and courteous to Su Yiyi’s classmate as he should be.

"You’re here to see Manager Mi, right? But today’s not a great day. There’s a big meeting in a little while and Manager Mi is probably busy right now. Oh no, Yiyi is also here; President Li, you’re being too careless with this matter."

While Chen Min was talking, she saw Su Yiyi entering the company with Ning Xin’er and quickly lowered her voice to warn Li Yifei.

Li Yifei just smiled and said, "It’s fine, we came together for the meeting."

Chen Min expressed her surprise, "Really? Does Yiyi know?"

Li Yifei just smiled and offered no explanation, as Su Yiyi had already come over and greeted Chen Min.

Chen Min glanced at Li Yifei first, then cheerfully asked, "Yiyi, are you here for business negotiations?"

Su Yiyi understood that Chen Min was petty and bringing up the current status of Li Yifei and herself was bound to displease Chen Min, but if she didn’t say it, Chen Min was bound to learn it from today’s big meeting anyway. So, she just said, "We’re here for the meeting."

"Ah, your meeting... what kind of meeting? Ah, Yiyi... you wouldn’t..." Chen Min purposely trailed off.

Su Yiyi smiled and said, "Yes, I know."

"Then you... never mind, as long as you think it’s good." Chen Min held even more contempt for Su Yiyi, thinking that since she knew Li Yifei and Xu Yingying were married and she still followed Li Yifei here, she was willingly being the third party. Wasn’t she afraid of Xu Yingying finding out about her? If she did find out, Su Yiyi wouldn’t be in a good position.

At that moment, Li Yifei addressed Ning Xin’er and Su Yiyi, "You two go to Yingying first, I’m going to check on Michelle." Then he nodded at Chen Min and went upstairs first.

"Alright." Su Yiyi and Ning Xin’er both replied.

Su Yiyi and Ning Xin’er were both dressed in professional suits, and their clothing was of a very high grade. Although Chen Min was also wearing a professional suit, the comparison between her and them was like that of the ugly duckling and the swans; she might not be less spirited, but it still felt like a stark contrast.

"Chen Min, we’ll go up first," Su Yiyi smiled at Chen Min and prepared to go find Xu Yingying with Ning Xin’er.

Chen Min hurriedly grabbed Su Yiyi and took her a couple of steps to the side, lowering her voice to whisper, "Look, Yiyi, isn’t this a bit foolish of you?"

Su Yiyi smiled lightly, "Not at all, I feel great."

Chen Min feigned deep concern, "He’s married, and being with him like this, it’s not proper or justified. Aren’t you afraid President Xu will find out?"

Su Yiyi thought that Chen Min didn’t speak as sharply as she used to, perhaps because having started to work had smoothed out her edges. Su Yiyi was always sincere with people; if someone was good to her, she treated them even better, so she didn’t dwell on past incidents and said, "It’s okay, President Xu and I are good friends."

"Good friends? Does President Xu already know about your relationship with President Li?"

Su Yiyi nodded, "She knows."

"No way?" Chen Min’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Su Yiyi just smiled, "Let’s not talk about this now, there’s a lot to do today, we’ll have a good chat later." Having said that, she went upstairs with Ning Xin’er.

Chen Min watched Su Yiyi’s retreating figure, still unable to believe that this was real. She could accept Su Yiyi being a shameful mistress because even if Su Yiyi was doing better than her, the relationship between Su Yiyi and Li Yifei was supposed to be a secret, nothing to brag about. She felt she was still superior to Su Yiyi.

But it was different knowing that Xu Yingying was aware of it and even gave her silent consent - that made Su Yiyi’s status publicly acceptable. The difference in their status was night and day. Chen Min was working so hard and was still just a low-level employee, while Su Yiyi did nothing but rely on her pretty face for advancement – it was incredibly upsetting for her.

By this time, Li Yifei had already arrived at Michelle’s office. Hearing only Michelle’s voice inside, he pushed the door open without knocking.

Michelle was absorbed in her work and frowned when the door opened without her hearing a knock, but as soon as she saw it was Li Yifei, her frown turned into a joyful smile.

Li Yifei closed the door behind him and locked it, then walked over to Michelle, who stood up. Like a Little Swallow, she threw herself into Li Yifei’s arms, and they embraced tightly without a word.

After hugging for a while, they released each other as though by mutual understanding. Li Yifei then picked Michelle up horizontally. Michelle let out a low cry and wrapped her arms around Li Yifei’s neck, softly saying, "No funny business, okay? We still have a meeting soon."

Li Yifei whispered in her ear, "I just missed you. Even if we don’t do anything else, at least let me hold you to ease my yearning."

Hearing Li Yifei’s tender words in her ear, a warmth coursed through Michelle, weakening her body. Having not seen Li Yifei for such a long time, her longing for him was just as intense as any woman from the Li family, especially since Li Yifei had returned – she couldn’t wait to meet him. Finally seeing Li Yifei, she wished desperately to be intimate with him, but thinking of the crucial meeting at the company later, she managed to contain her emotions and softly said, "Then we can only hug."

Li Yifei, holding Michelle, sat down on the couch and saw how gaunt her face had become. "Michelle, you’ve lost weight," he couldn’t help saying with a pang of heartache.

Michelle caressed Li Yifei’s face with her hand, her gaze soft and loving. "How could I not worry after such a big incident happened to you? Thankfully you’re back now, and I’ll soon put the weight back on."

"I’m sorry for making you worry, Michelle. I want to kiss you."

"Don’t - my makeup will get ruined," Michelle quickly protested, seeming feeble in her refusal.

"Just a peck on the lips."

"There’s lipstick on them."

"Just one kiss, the lipstick won’t come off, will it?"

"Well... okay, just one," Michelle said gently, closing her eyes.

Li Yifei slowly lowered his head and lightly kissed Michelle’s lips, then slightly lifted his head, his face just a few centimeters away from hers. Michelle opened her eyes, her look dazed. "You’ve kissed me, so why aren’t you getting up?"

"I really didn’t get enough with just one kiss," Li Yifei said in a tone filled with affection, "I want to kiss you again."

"No, we have a meeting soon, and if my lipstick gets smeared, it will look terrible."

"You always carry lipstick in your purse, right?" Li Yifei said, squinting at Michelle.

"I didn’t... bring it," Michelle’s voice was barely audible as she closed her eyes again.

Their lips met once more, not parting immediately this time but clinging tightly to each other. After a minute, their bodies were pressed tightly against one another, their arms wrapped firmly around each other, their tongues entwined. The longing from many days apart was simply not easily restrained.

About ten minutes later, Michelle finally pushed Li Yifei away, her eyes heavy with seduction, body weak, and she reproachfully said, "You bad boy, I told you we have a meeting, and yet you continue with your mischief. Are you going to let me go to the meeting at all?"

Li Yifei, who had finally eased his longing, said with a smile, "I have to attend the meeting too."

"You’re a man; a quick wipe of your mouth and you’re done. I have to redo my makeup, and now my clothes are all wrinkled because of you, you bad boy." Michelle struggled to stand from Li Yifei’s lap. Although she enjoyed sitting on his lap, there will be plenty of time for them to be tender with each other later – the upcoming meeting was too important.

Li Yifei sat on the couch, watching Michelle touch up her makeup. He truly enjoyed watching her meticulousness, and every time she sent a come-hither look his way, it delighted him even more.

"Get up, your clothes are wrinkled too. Let me help you straighten them out." After tidying herself up, Michelle quickly pulled Li Yifei to his feet and carefully straightened out his clothes for him.

Michelle acted just like a loving little wife, making Li Yifei feel extremely happy, almost unable to resist pulling her into another embrace, though he eventually managed to hold back.
