Chapter 249: Chapter 253: Live Broadcast

Li Yifei turned around and saw Xu Yingying, who was looking at him with an extremely unpleasant expression.

Li Yifei put Li Xinyue down, and then turned to ask, "Why are you here?"

Xu Yingying took a deep breath and said, "Wow, Li Yifei, after playing the hero, you’re ready to jump into bed with her?"

Li Yifei realized that Xu Yingying had misunderstood, and he initially wanted to explain, but suddenly dismissed the idea, and said with a stern face, "You clearly know the situation, so why did you come here?"

Xu Yingying was taken aback and glared at Li Yifei, hardly believing that he could be so righteous and confident at this time.

"Go back and get some sleep, don’t disturb me here," Li Yifei said, and then sat down on the edge of the bed.

Xu Yingying could hold her liquor well, and although she was drunk today, she sobered up after an hour or so. She was still groggy, but the thought that there were still many things to do at the company made her uneasy resting here, so she decided to return to the company.

She looked in the two neighboring rooms first. Ye Yunzhu and He Fangqing were both sleeping soundly, so Xu Yingying didn’t disturb them. She just wanted to find Li Yifei to accompany her back, but in the last room, she saw Li Yifei and Li Xinyue hugging each other.

She had initially thought that Li Yifei was taking the opportunity to do something bad with Li Xinyue and wanted to scold him, but his calm response made her suddenly feel that something was off. Li Yifei was not the kind of person to rush into things, and since Li Xinyue’s clothes were intact and she was obviously asleep, Li Yifei hadn’t done anything to her. Now, by speaking in such a way, he was clearly trying to provoke her, wasn’t he?

Having figured it out, Xu Yingying’s anger dissipated. She sat down directly on the sofa, crossed her right leg over her left, and said with grace, "Then you continue, I won’t interrupt you."

Li Yifei’s eyes widened, and he said, "Are you serious? Do you want to watch a live show here?"

"Yeah, I’ve never seen it before, and now I want to see it. You can completely ignore me."

"I’m telling you, I’m really going to take my clothes off," Li Yifei said, pretending to start undressing.

Xu Yingying, disdainfully curling her lip, said, "Go ahead and strip. We’ve lived together for so long, and I bought most of your underwear. Am I going to be scared of you undressing?"

Li Yifei felt defeated by Xu Yingying, realizing that if this woman put her mind to it, her thick skin could definitely surpass that of a man. He could only say with a wry smile, "OK, OK, I’m not as shameless as you. I’ll stop, right?"

Xu Yingying smiled triumphantly and said, "Keep up the act. I don’t mind."

Li Yifei, annoyed, said, "Hmph, I don’t have time to mess around with you. Just say what you want to do directly, and if you’ve drunk too much, go to sleep."

Xu Yingying giggled and said, "I want to go back to the company. You come with me."

"Fangqing and Yunzhu are still asleep here."

"Let them rest here then. What could possibly happen in such a big guesthouse?"

"Alright, sigh, I wish I were drunk too, so I could rest a bit more." Li Yifei stood up in resignation and left the guesthouse with Xu Yingying, who was looking quite pleased with herself.

Seeing that Li Yifei was about to drive, Xu Yingying quickly said, "Maybe you shouldn’t drive? You also drank quite a bit today."

"It’s fine, I sobered up a while ago."

"Really?"

Li Yifei said with a smile, "I did a lot of physical exercise, so all the alcohol has already sweated out."

"A lot of physical exercise?" Xu Yingying was stunned for a moment, but then spat at Li Yifei and turned her head away blushing. She got the implication in his words, but she only thought he had gone to find He Fangqing, so she wasn’t upset, just embarrassed beyond measure that he could talk about such things so brazenly.

"Disgusting, pervert," Xu Yingying muttered under her breath about Li Yifei.

Li Yifei got in the car, and after Xu Yingying was seated, he said with a grin, "I am a pervert, but it seems like someone was quite comfortable that day."

"You... you..." Xu Yingying turned crimson with embarrassment, almost wishing she could squeeze into a crack in the ground. Li Yifei had never mentioned what had happened that day, whereas she had brought it up to confirm their relationship. She didn’t feel it was a big deal when she mentioned it, but now that Li Yifei brought it up, she was overwhelmed with embarrassment and turned beet red, unable to speak.

Li Yifei blinked his eyes and said, "Now that it’s just the two of us, do you want to find a place where I can make you feel good again?"

"You bastard!" Xu Yingying’s face turned red as she struggled to hold back, finally cursing Li Yifei fiercely before turning her head away, refusing to look at him again.

"Ah, you women, you clearly enjoy it so much at the time, yet when it comes to talking about it, you act as if you’ve been greatly insulted." Li Yifei shook his head, started the car, and chuckled inwardly. He had realized that with a woman like Xu Yingying, he needed to be a bit of a rogue to handle her; otherwise, he was always one step behind.

"Shut your mouth!" Xu Yingying practically roared at this point.

"If you want me to shut up, I’ll shut up. You did it, but you won’t let me talk about it. There’s no one else here anyway."

"Ah! I’m going crazy!" Xu Yingying tugged at her hair fiercely, scanning the car to find something to grab and put an end to Li Yifei, that bastard.

Li Yifei felt it was about time, so he began to drive with a sneaky smile, no longer teasing Xu Yingying. He felt that what had happened today was enough.

Xu Yingying didn’t want to speak to Li Yifei anymore. The moment the car reached the company, she bolted out as if running for her life, now too afraid to spend another minute with him.

Li Yifei didn’t get out of the car right away. With this event, he wondered if Xu Yingying would still occasionally say she wanted to be with him, or if he had scared her off completely this time.

Sitting in his office, Li Yifei wasn’t feeling so triumphant. He had no idea how to wrap up today’s events. Toward Ye Yunzhu, he couldn’t deny the affection they had shared in the past. Even though some of the familiarity had lessened and there was some strangeness now, the feelings between him and Ye Yunzhu, and vice versa, were indelible. This time, their relationship rekindled those suppressed emotions in Li Yifei, bursting forth uncontrollably.

But what about Su Yiyi? She was so gentle, so lovely, and so compliant toward him. Li Yifei liked her just as much; he always thought Su Yiyi was definitely a lifelong partner worth having. How could he bear to let her go?

As for Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan, Li Yifei felt they were just a bit troublesome; he didn’t feel that burdened. His relationships with them were like playing a game, where the outcome didn’t matter. But with Ye Yunzhu and Su Yiyi, those were real predicaments for Li Yifei.

A knock sounded at the door. Li Yifei responded, and Michelle pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing the smoke-filled room, she immediately went to open the window and scolded, "Brother Li, why are you smoking so much?"

Li Yifei extinguished his cigarette butt and smiled sheepishly, saying, "It’s nothing."

Michelle sat across from Li Yifei, squinting at him and saying, "Don’t lie to me. You might smoke usually, but you’ve never smoked one right after another like this. You must have run into some trouble. Can you talk to me about it? Maybe I can help you analyze it?"

Li Yifei hesitated for a moment, resting his hands on the desk, and said, "Michelle, I’m actually quite troubled right now."

"What’s the matter?" Michelle had always seen Li Yifei as someone who never let anything trouble him. This was obviously a serious problem. "Is it because of some romantic issue?"

"How did you know?" Li Yifei asked, surprised.

"I’ve never seen you troubled over anything else," Michelle said, pursing her lips with a hint of pride at her correct guess.

Li Yifei rubbed his nose, feeling rather embarrassed. Indeed, as Michelle had observed, even if he encountered the most difficult situations, he never got so entangled, unlike these matters of the heart. It felt nothing like the old days when he would go clubbing and look for no-strings-attached thrill.

"Go on, tell me. I’ll help you analyze it." Michelle looked at Li Yifei with a smile. Although she knew Li Yifei’s romantic troubles didn’t include her, she was happy that he was sharing such things with her. It meant Li Yifei still considered her a close and trusted friend.

Li Yifei then said, "I had already established a romantic relationship with Su Yiyi. She would stay at my place every weekend... But we haven’t been intimate yet." Feeling that he needed to provide details for Michelle to help with the analysis, Li Yifei believed it was better to be thorough.

Michelle was startled and said, "She stays over at your place and you guys haven’t..." She suddenly blushed, for she was a girl who had never experienced such matters and discussing them was obviously embarrassing for her.

"Yes, initially she would come to help with chores, and since I wasn’t completely sure about making her my girlfriend, I hadn’t been intimate with her. Lately, because of some issues, we didn’t spend the weekends together. If it weren’t for that, something would have definitely happened by now... cough cough, I shouldn’t have mentioned this to you, but I need you to help analyze the situation, so don’t mind me," he said.

Michelle smiled, saying, "I don’t mind. But Brother Li, you’re truly a good man. If it were any other guy, with a girl coming straight to his door, how could they not...?"

Li Yifei laughed awkwardly, saying, "The plan was to marry her if we continued like this. That’s what I was thinking. But then I encountered my high school sweetheart, and we got intimate."

"Ah!" Michelle gasped, covering her mouth.

Li Yifei rubbed his nose and continued, "I know I shouldn’t have done that, but she was very good to me back in high school, we were intimate back then, and now that I’ve met her again, she’s still so good to me. But I feel like our lifestyles are too different now, so reigniting the old flame wasn’t successful. However, she took the initiative to change for me—a township chief who changed for me, and that’s not easy at all. She didn’t disdain me for being just a low-level employee, and now that this has happened, I really don’t know how to handle it."

Having said that, Li Yifei looked at Michelle, hoping she could offer some good advice.
