Chapter 230: Chapter 233: Got the Certificate

Xu Shanshan sat in the living room with her parents, her ears perked up the whole time, listening for any noise from Xu Yingying’s room. However, it remained quiet inside, with only the occasional soft murmur of the two people’s voices. But suddenly, she crossed her legs tight and her facial expression turned bizarre in an instant.

"Shanshan, what’s wrong with you?" Her mother glanced at Xu Shanshan inadvertently and noticed her odd behavior.

"Nothing, nothing at all." Xu Shanshan chuckled lightly and popped a cherry into her mouth.

Xu Shanshan’s mother didn’t think much of it; her heart was focused on Li Yifei and Xu Yingying, hoping for a grandchild soon.

"Mmm..." Xu Shanshan suddenly made another muffled sound.

"What’s wrong with you now?" Xu Shanshan’s mother frowned.

"I accidentally bit my tongue." Covering her mouth, Xu Shanshan then jumped up and said, "I’m going to take a shower first; you two keep listening. This matter is not suitable for children, so I’ll abstain."

"What child are you talking about, it’ll be your turn right after your sister. Don’t think you can escape."

"Escaping for a bit is still escaping." Xu Shanshan giggled and ran into the bathroom. She quickly turned on the shower and stripped off her clothes. Standing under the shower, her face was incredibly odd, her skin reddened as if coated with a thick layer of rouge, indescribably tender and enchanting.

Xu Yingying’s parents finally heard those sounds and exchanged smiles; they had staged this because they suspected Xu Yingying’s temperament might be too dominant, always refusing to let Li Yifei touch her. Now, it seemed the couple was harmonious in that aspect, meaning their wish for a grandchild could be fulfilled soon.

"Eh, why does it seem like there’s a similar sound coming from the bathroom?" Xu Yingying’s mother suddenly remarked.

"Shanshan is taking a shower, it’s probably the sound of the water," Xu Zhenguo casually responded.

"Oh, then let’s go to bed early too."

The old couple finally went to bed satisfied, while Xu Shanshan came out of the bathroom after a while, still flushed. She glanced at the bedroom, pouted, and mumbled a few words no one could understand, then darted onto the sofa in the bedroom.

Next morning, Xu Yingying woke up early and said, "Get up quickly, don’t stay in bed, my parents are still at home, what would it look like."

"My parents would prefer us to sleep a bit more. I bet if you go out early, you’ll definitely get scolded by them."

"I don’t believe that." Xu Yingying huffed, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to freshen up and tidy.

Li Yifei lay in bed and soon heard Xu Yingying’s mother’s voice, "Why are you up so early? Why not sleep a bit longer?"

"Oh, I couldn’t sleep anymore." Xu Yingying answered guiltily.

"What do you mean, you couldn’t sleep? Young people like to sleep in, and the morning is the best time to nurture affection. If you get up so early every day, how can you build a good relationship, when will you give me a grandchild?"

"Okay, okay, I’ll go back to bed right now." Seeing her mother’s nagging about to kick in, Xu Yingying quickly fled back to the bedroom.

Upon entering, she saw Li Yifei’s smug smile, and she glared at him, saying, "What’s there to be smug about? I got told off by my mom, you happy now?"

"I’m smug because my guess was absolutely right, and I’m happy because someone has to admire my judgment."

"Admire my foot." Xu Yingying glared at Li Yifei and took a laptop to sit at the head of the bed. Since going out would lead to being nagged, she decided she might as well work in the bedroom.

It wasn’t until almost seven o’clock that Li Yifei and Xu Yingying came out of the bedroom together, and Xu Yingying’s mother gave Li Yifei an approving look, saying with a smile, "Yifei is not bad."

This comment left Li Yifei dumbfounded; intuitively, he felt it referred to the events of the previous night. But for a mother-in-law to say such a thing seemed a bit much. However, Li Yifei didn’t really take it as any commentary on Xu Yingying’s mother; it was just an expression of an elder’s eagerness for a grandchild.

After tidying up, Li Yifei made his way to the living room, where he spotted Xu Shanshan leaning against the sofa wrapped in a blanket, yawning widely.

"Shanshan, didn’t sleep well last night?" Li Yifei asked with concern.

Xu Shanshan gave Li Yifei a disdainful look and said, "With you two making noise so late into the night, how could I sleep? And then waking up so early, no one lets me sleep in."

Just then, Xu Yingying came over and heard her sister’s words, immediately feeling embarrassed. Seeing that their parents were in the kitchen, she quickly said to Xu Shanshan, "That was fake, it wasn’t really like that at all."

Xu Shanshan looked at Xu Yingying suspiciously, "Fake? Impossible."

Xu Yingying knew about her and Li Yifei’s fake boyfriend-girlfriend situation, and seeing Xu Shanshan’s misunderstanding, she became somewhat anxious. Although she was worried about Xu Shanshan and Li Yifei getting together and wanted to hold on to Li Yifei, there were things she was not willing to admit.

She sat down next to Xu Shanshan and then said to Li Yifei, "Can you go help my parents?"

Li Yifei, understanding the sisters wanted to talk privately, wisely left. After he was gone, Xu Yingying immediately said to Xu Shanshan, "You saw it, mom is eager for me to have children early. If we don’t make some noise, she’d definitely watch over me and Yifei all day long. So last night we were just putting on a play, making those noises on purpose to fool mom."
