Chapter 258: Chapter 263 Xu Yingying’s Acting Skills

Ten minutes later, Li Yifei and Xu Yingying had already arrived at Lin Qiong’s place. Li Yifei quickly introduced them to each other. Xu Yingying, with a smile on her face, extended her hand elegantly to Lin Qiong and said, "Hello, we’ve brought you some trouble this time, and I deeply apologize for it. I hope I can make up for my mistake."

Lin Qiong shook hands with Xu Yingying, sizing her up thoroughly and said with some surprise, "You really are seeing me for the first time?"

"The one you met before was my sister. Even our parents can’t tell us apart when we’re together."

"No wonder you’re twins, you look so alike. I’ve really learned something new. Yifei already told me about the situation. As long as you remain composed, I think there shouldn’t be a big problem."

Li Yifei interjected, "Alright, stop with the small talk and hurry up with the makeup."

Lin Qiong replied and said to Xu Yingying, "Miss Xu, please take a rest for a while. I’ll do Yifei’s makeup."

"Sure, go ahead."

Lin Qiong immediately started to apply makeup on Li Yifei, while Xu Yingying watched with great interest. However, after watching for a while, she began to seriously doubt the nature of their relationship. As Lin Qiong did Yifei’s makeup, her hands were all over Yifei’s face, which was understandable, but her body would also occasionally touch Yifei’s, especially when she asked Yifei to tilt his face up and she stood opposite him with her chest very close. When she bent down, the view down her neckline was probably all visible to Yifei.

And Lin Qiong didn’t seem to mind Li Yifei’s gaze at all. Had she been focused solely on her work, that would have been one thing, but Xu Yingying felt that Lin Qiong knew very well that Yifei could see and still didn’t mind. To say their relationship wasn’t close would be impossible.

"This jerk, why does he have so many women around him?" Xu Yingying muttered resentfully in her heart. There’s his girlfriend Su Yiyi, his first love Ye Yunzhu, and now there’s even a policewoman Lin Qiong.

Originally, Xu Yingying only wanted to prevent her sister from being with Li Yifei, hence why she wanted to be with him. If Yifei was with another woman, that would serve the same purpose. But now, Yingying herself was feeling uncomfortable. Maybe because she didn’t want her sister to lose to another woman, or maybe because she was starting to care more about Li Yifei herself.

At six twenty, Lin Qiong finished making Li Yifei presentable, and even tidied up Xu Yingying a little, since Yingying was a celebrity in Mile City. If she went with her regular appearance, it would be easy for her to be recognized. After giving them a few more instructions, Lin Qiong let Li Yifei and Xu Yingying leave. They hurriedly took a taxi and arrived at Mingdu Restaurant before seven o’clock.

Ma Yiwei was already waiting in the restaurant’s hall. Seeing Li Yifei, he immediately came up, smiling, "Brother Li, you’re really punctual."

Li Yifei shook hands with Ma Yiwei, blinking and said, "Yeah, when little Ma invites me, how could I not come? The steel business is all counting on you."

"No problem, leave it to me." Ma Yiwei patted his chest vigorously, his eyes then turned toward Xu Yingying, lighting up instantly, he said, "Sister-in-law is really beautiful, Brother Li, you’re so lucky."

Even though Xu Yingying had had her makeup done by Lin Qiong, which changed her appearance somewhat, the innate sophistication and elegance couldn’t be concealed. Even if she was only sixty or seventy percent as beautiful as her original self, that was still enough to make her a beauty. No wonder Ma Yiwei had such a reaction.

Xu Yingying extended her hand graciously and said, "So, you’re little Ma, right? For this business deal of our old Li, we’ll need your extra help."

Ma Yiwei quickly shook hands with Xu Yingying without lingering, smiling amiably, "You don’t need to worry, sister-in-law. Li brother and I hit it off as good friends; I will definitely help out with this. Besides, it’s an opportunity for us all to make money. How could I not be involved?"

"That’s good then." Xu Yingying beamed sweetly, looking even more radiant.

Ma Yiwei couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Xu Yingying, then said to Li Yifei, "Brother Li, sister-in-law, come on, let’s have a drink. Today, this brother is treating, let’s enjoy a good drink."

Once in the private room, Ma Yiwei this time was indeed quite forthcoming, ordering a lot of dishes. He frequently urged both Li Yifei and Xu Yingying to drink more. Xu Yingying handled it all graciously, which only made Ma Yiwei more envious.

"I’m going to the restroom for a moment." Xu Yingying stood up, smiling apologetically, and left the room.

Li Yifei let out a long breath, then slapped Ma Yiwei on the shoulder, gratefully saying, "Brother, you’re a true friend."

Hehe, of course," Ma Yiwei grinned and said, "But you know what, Brother Li, your wife is really something - looks like a proper lady."

Li Yifei sighed, "She’s great, sure, but that’s exactly why I’m under so much pressure. She’s always on my case about this and that, telling me what I can and can’t do – it’s driving me nuts."

"Heh, I get you. Having a wife like that does put pressure on a man, but that lover of yours sure has taste."

Li Yifei, startled, quickly looked towards the door, then said nervously, "Be careful what you say; don’t bring up that topic. Otherwise, I’m dead meat."

"Haha, well your sister-in-law isn’t here, is she? Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare say a thing." Ma Yiwei laughed boastfully.

Just then, the door opened and Xu Yingying walked in, smiling at Ma Yiwei, "What is it, little Ma? What are you saying behind my back that you seem so happy about?"

Li Yifei quickly made eye signals to Ma Yiwei, but Xu Yingying glared at him and said, "What are you winking at Ma Yiwei for? Ma Yiwei, if you have something to say, just say it, and don’t mind him."

Ma Yiwei immediately forced a laugh and said, "Sister-in-law, I was just saying when you weren’t around, I’d take Brother Li out to have some fun, but no matter what, Brother Li wouldn’t agree, and you happened to come in just then."

Xu Yingying then nodded in satisfaction, first smiled at Li Yifei, and then, looping her arm through his, she said, "Our Old Li can indeed still be trusted, but with a bit of money in hand, there will always be social butterflies crowding in. I need to keep a closer eye. Ma Yiwei, I’m going back tomorrow, you will have to help watch over him for me in the future, and make sure he doesn’t fool around outside."

"Rest assured, rest assured, with me here, Brother Li absolutely won’t go fooling around. Otherwise, you can hold me accountable," Ma Yiwei responded.

"Mhm, mhm, that’s settled then. Come on, let me toast you."

After eating and drinking their fill, Ma Yiwei immediately said, "Brother Li, sister-in-law, let’s go, let’s go sing some songs."

Xu Yingying politely declined, "Ma Yiwei, thank you, but you really shouldn’t spend any more on us."

At this point, Ma Yiwei, whose face was somewhat flushed from the drink, said loudly, "Spend what? I’ve already booked it. Sister-in-law, if you don’t go, that would be really disrespectful to me."

Xu Yingying looked at Li Yifei with some difficulty, and Li Yifei immediately said to Ma Yiwei, "Ma Yiwei, I think we should just forget it."

Ma Yiwei hastily said, "Just going to sing some songs, have a few drinks, we can chat a bit more. There’s a room above the karaoke suite, and I’ve already booked it for you. When you’re tired, you can just go up and rest, no need to go back to the hotel."

Li Yifei immediately thought of the room he and Lin Qiong had stayed in the day before and realized that Ma Yiwei was still trying to test them. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Wife, Ma Yiwei is offering us a warm invitation, let’s go have some fun."

Xu Yingying gave Li Yifei a white look and said, "Fine then, Ma Yiwei, we won’t stand on ceremony with you."

Ma Yiwei laughed loudly and said, "What ceremony with me? In the future, once the business is successful, helping me make some money, that is what’s real."

Taking a cab, the three of them arrived at the karaoke venue they had visited the day before. They got a small private room and played for a little while. Today, since Ma Yiwei didn’t call for singing partners, he wasn’t very enthusiastic. After a while, he suggested that Li Yifei and Xu Yingying go rest.

This was exactly what Xu Yingying wanted. After performing for so long, facing a person like Ma Yiwei, she had had more than enough. She swiftly agreed, but once she arrived at the prepared room, she suddenly realized a problem. There was only one room, one bed – didn’t that mean she was going to have to share a bed with Li Yifei for the night?

Sharing a bed with Li Yifei wasn’t a first; it had happened many times before, but it was always at her own home, on her bed. At the very least, it was her ’home turf’, so Xu Yingying felt even if she lived with Li Yifei, she still had the initiative.

But in such a strange environment, sharing a bed with Li Yifei again, she suddenly felt very uneasy.

As she was thinking about all this, Li Yifei actually closed the room door, then suddenly embraced her and kissed her lips. Xu Yingying was stunned. Li Yifei had never done this before; it was simply too much for her to take, and she began to struggle forcefully.

"There’s a camera in this room," Li Yifei’s words were like a bolt from the blue, stunning Xu Yingying.

"Don’t be afraid, now you can start a quarrel, and it will cover everything up," Li Yifei kissed her cheek and whispered.

Xu Yingying quickly caught on, and forcefully pushed Li Yifei away, sitting on the bed with a huff, crossing her left leg over her right, and coldly staring at Li Yifei, she said, "Stand up straight for me, I have a question for you."

Li Yifei immediately approached her with a giggling smile, "Wife, what’s the matter? Can’t we be intimate before talking?"

"Stand still!" Xu Yingying shouted again, and Li Yifei, as if struck by lightning, stood up straight in front of her.

"Let me ask you, in the past two days, have you done anything else?"

"No, I’ve just been discussing business."

"Really? So why did the lobby manager recognize you when we came to this karaoke venue today?"

"I... came here yesterday, but I was with Ma Yiwei."

"Just the two of you grown men came here to sing? Do you think I’m a fool?" Xu Yingying said, and then sharply slapped the bed, angrily demanding an answer.

Li Yifei suddenly felt a headache coming on. Even for a performance, was it necessary to be so fierce? Xu Yingying truly was a company president; the aura of a boss was just too overpowering.
