Chapter 132: Chapter 132: How to Address

"Sir, could you teach me the method of mixing this drink?" At this time, the bartender imprudently interjected.

Li Yifei happened to avoid Xu Shanshan’s gaze and replied with a smile, "Sorry, I can’t teach you."

"Sir, if you teach me, I will cover all the drinks today." The bartender was a bit anxious.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile. He had spent a lot of money learning these bartending methods, although it wasn’t his money, but he knew these skills weren’t taught easily. Besides, not everyone could learn it. Mixing drinks might seem easy, but it actually had strict requirements and selections regarding a person’s aptitude and ability. It wasn’t something that could be learned simply through diligent study.

"Let’s go find a place to sit and slowly mix some drinks," Li Yifei said with a cheerful smile, pulling Xu Shanshan away; naturally, a waiter would bring the drinks to them.

The bartender was quite disappointed, but he was really envious of Li Yifei’s Nine-colored Rainbow. At this time, there weren’t many people in the bar, and the young patrons wouldn’t come to him for mixing, so he gave it a try himself.

With just one attempt, he realized how difficult it was to mix the Nine-colored Rainbow and quickly gave up in despair.

Xu Shanshan sat in a booth with her hands supporting her chin, her elbows resting on the table, staring at Li Yifei intently as he mixed drinks. Even though the drink he was mixing this time was quite simple, seeing Li Yifei’s focused demeanor and his hands moving as smoothly as flowing water, she found herself somewhat mesmerized.

"Brother-in-law, you’re really amazing." After drinking another glass, Xu Shanshan’s face was flushed, her eyes soft like water, and she extended her tongue, gently licking the liquor off her lips.

"You’ve said that countless times these past few days," Li Yifei replied with a grin while continuing to mix drinks. He had been making them for Xu Shanshan but hadn’t had any himself yet.

"It’s because you’re that amazing." Xu Shanshan continued looking at Li Yifei with her chin in her hands.

"Alright, I’m amazing. This glass won’t be for you. I’ve already made you three glasses. If you keep drinking, you’ll get drunk. I need to drink a glass myself, don’t I?"

Xu Shanshan pouted and said, "I’m not drunk yet."

"Alright, stop pretending. This kind of drink is indeed pleasant to taste at first, but the flavor masks the alcohol content. You might not feel much immediately, but once it’s in your stomach, the alcohol can pack a punch."

Xu Shanshan indeed felt some intoxication rising, her head a bit dizzy, and said, "That’s true, I am starting to feel a bit lightheaded now."

"Hehe, then in a moment, we should head back."

"Can we play here for a while longer?" Xu Shanshan pouted, unwilling.

As they were speaking, Li Yifei’s phone rang. Seeing the number, it was Xu Yingying. Li Yifei signaled to Xu Shanshan for a moment, covered the receiver with one hand, and answered the call, "Yingying, are things over on your side?"

"It’s over. What are you doing? Why couldn’t I reach the home phone?" Xu Yingying asked directly.

"I don’t know either. Maybe there’s something wrong with the phone. Shanshan and I are watching TV."

"You better behave yourself and don’t do anything to Shanshan," Xu Yingying lowered her voice but her words were full of warning.

Li Yifei grinned and said, "How would I dare? Don’t worry, I’ll be going to sleep soon."

"Let me talk to Shanshan."

Li Yifei handed the phone to Xu Shanshan, "Your sister wants to speak with you."

Xu Shanshan took the phone, said a few words, then stood up to give Li Yifei a wry smile and walked to the bathroom next to them. Obviously, Xu Yingying was advising her about some things, quite naggingly.

Li Yifei finally finished mixing a drink and was about to drink it when a girl suddenly came up, sat directly opposite him, blinked at him, and said, "Uncle, how about buying me a drink?"

Li Yifei was somewhat surprised because sitting opposite him turned out to be that little girl, Chu Xiaoyao. This girl had refused to leave when she last stayed with him, and in the end, it was Li Yifei who had Lin Qiong chase her away. It had been more than half a month since he last saw her, and he didn’t expect to see her here today.

"What are you doing here?" Li Yifei asked, frowning.

Chu Xiaoyao leaned over, whispered into Li Yifei’s ear, "Uncle, do me a favor. I made a bet with my classmates that I could snag you, so give me a bit of face, okay?"

Li Yifei said, "How can I give you face?"

Chu Xiaoyao grinned and said, "Just pretend not to know me, and then we can chat for a while. You can be attracted to me and become my boyfriend."

Li Yifei immediately shook his head and said, "No way!"

"Uncle, you’re not going to be so unfriendly, are you?" Chu Xiaoyao immediately put on a pitiful face and looked at Li Yifei.

"It’s not about being unfriendly, it’s just that I’m out with my sister-in-law today. She went out to make a phone call, and if she comes back and sees you with me, wouldn’t my girlfriend kill me?"

"Your sister-in-law? You’re not alone?" Chu Xiaoyao looked at Li Yifei confusedly.

"Of course not. Didn’t you see?"

"No, I just came in and saw you sitting here alone."

"I’m really not alone. She’ll be back soon. I’m telling you, you should drop this idea. I can’t help you and end up with trouble at home."

Li Yifei didn’t want to help Chu Xiaoyao. Mainly, he didn’t want to get overly involved with this girl. While Chu Xiaoyao was a nice girl, she was still too young. A girl like her could be quite a headache if she clung to someone.

Chu Xiaoyao pouted so much her mouth could hang a bottle, and asked, "Su Yiyi’s sister?"

"No, and she’s not my girlfriend either."

"I’m confused, Uncle, you’re too intense. So, you were just playing with Su Yiyi?"

Li Yifei glared at Chu Xiaoyao and said, "Don’t talk nonsense here. Go do what you’re supposed to do; I don’t have time to play with kids."

Chu Xiaoyao immediately protested, "What kids? I’m already eighteen, okay? I’m an adult. I can make my own decisions."

"Is that so?" Chu Xiaoyao smugly winked at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei was amused by Chu Xiaoyao and said, "Whether you’re an adult or not has nothing to do with me. You’re a big girl and still not shy."

"I’m just saying this to you, Uncle. I wouldn’t say it to other men. I just like you."

"Enough, enough. I beg you. Little Grandmother, please hurry and leave."

Chu Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "I don’t care. If you don’t help me, I won’t leave."

Chu Xiaoyao started acting up, which made Li Yifei somewhat helpless. He couldn’t exactly throw this little girl out, and as he saw Xu Shanshan returning, it was too late to chase Chu Xiaoyao away.

"Huh? Brother-in-law, who’s this?" Xu Shanshan returned and saw a little girl beside Li Yifei. Not only that, but she was also a lively and beautiful young girl, and she immediately asked, puzzled.

Before Li Yifei could answer, Chu Xiaoyao already puffed out her chest and said, "I’m Uncle’s mistress."

Li Yifei almost hit his head on the table. This girl, Chu Xiaoyao, was unbelievable to say such things. The main thing was, wasn’t she putting him in a difficult situation? He really wanted to grab her by the collar and throw her out.

"Mistress? Haha..." Xu Shanshan looked at this girl, obviously under twenty, and couldn’t help but laugh.

Chu Xiaoyao had initially intended to mess with Li Yifei, but Xu Shanshan’s laughter made her feel greatly insulted. She immediately wrapped her arms around Li Yifei’s neck and even pressed her face against his, boasting, "I am Uncle’s mistress. So, what?"

Li Yifei quickly turned away to avoid letting Chu Xiaoyao’s face touch his and pulled her hand away, exclaiming angrily, "Stop fooling around here."

"Uncle, I’m not fooling around. You promised me, didn’t you, to be your mistress." Instantly, tears filled Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes, and biting her lip, she said in a choked voice, "Uncle, I’m not asking to be your girlfriend. I just want to be your mistress. My first time was given to you, and now you’re discarding me."

Li Yifei was dumbfounded as he watched Chu Xiaoyao. This girl could act like an Oscar-winning actress. Her tears flowed the instant she wanted them to.

"Uncle, I... I have your child, you know? Rest assured, I won’t ask you to support us. I’ll raise him alone. I’ll tell him that he has a wonderful father, but due to some special circumstances, he can’t be with us. I won’t let him resent you."

After saying that, Chu Xiaoyao ran away quickly, covering her face.

"Hey, hey!" Li Yifei called out twice, but Chu Xiaoyao didn’t stop. She quickly bypassed two booths and slipped into her classmates’ group. Due to the booth’s position, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan thought the girl had run out of the bar.

Feeling embarrassed, Li Yifei looked at Xu Shanshan and said, "Shanshan, it’s all nonsense from her."

"Is it?" Xu Shanshan sat down, crossed her arms, placed her left leg over her right, and stared at Li Yifei with an unfriendly gaze, overlapping with Xu Yingying at this moment.

Li Yifei promptly declared, "Absolutely! She’s just a high schooler. I helped her a bit when I saw someone harassing her on the bus before. We took the same bus a few more times after that, and then nothing."

Seeing Li Yifei a bit anxious, Xu Shanshan suddenly burst into laughter and said, "I knew it all along."

"You believe me?" Li Yifei looked at Xu Shanshan in surprise.

"Of course, I do. It was obvious that child was talking nonsense. If people say kids are bold nowadays, saying she’s your mistress might actually convince someone. But when she claimed to have a child with you, it was just too fake," Xu Shanshan said, laughing even more brightly.
