Chapter 263: Chapter 269 Mistaken Identity

"Yiyi, what’s wrong with you?" Xiao Ning approached Su Yiyi, asking with confusion.

"It’s nothing... nothing." Su Yiyi bit her lip, tears already streaming uncontrollably because she had not only seen Li Yifei but also witnessed another woman sitting intimately close to him, with her arm around Li Yifei’s, which was completely outrageous.

Song Xiaoli also came over to Su Yiyi’s side and followed her gaze, although there were two tables of customers there, she immediately confirmed that Su Yiyi was looking at the table where Li Yifei was sitting.

Li Yifei had put on makeup, but that was just for those unfamiliar with him, for Su Yiyi, who was well acquainted with Li Yifei, it was still obvious at first glance.

"Yiyi, is that man over there your boyfriend?" Song Xiaoli’s eyes widened as she spoke.

Su Yiyi’s body shook as she replied, "No... he’s not." She hastily wiped away her tears and said, "Don’t overthink it, I just got some sand in my eyes."

"Sand in your eyes?" Both Song Xiaoli and Xiao Ning looked at Su Yiyi skeptically, wondering how sand could get into someone’s eyes in such an enclosed shopping mall.

"Alright, alright, let’s go," Su Yiyi urged them to leave, pulling on the two.

Xiao Ning immediately said, "We’ve come here to have a drink, why leave?"

Song Xiaoli also chimed in, "Yeah, Yiyi, we came here to drink, how can we leave?" She firmly pulled Su Yiyi to a seat and sat down, but her eyes once again glanced over towards Li Yifei’s direction.

Just as Song Xiaoli had mentioned, Su Yiyi simply wasn’t someone who could lie, and they had long noticed something was off with Su Yiyi. They roughly guessed that one of the two men at Li Yifei’s table must be Su Yiyi’s boyfriend, and the fact that this man even had another woman by his side clearly meant he had deceived Su Yiyi.

They had always been somewhat against Su Yiyi finding a boyfriend outside of school for fear that she would be deceived. Now, having their suspicions confirmed, they wanted Su Yiyi to realize the true character of this man and not to be fooled by him any longer.

Therefore, after having Su Yiyi sit down, Song Xiaoli turned to Xiao Ning and said, "Stay here with Yiyi for a moment, I’ll go buy something."

However, Song Xiaoli didn’t head to buy something right away; instead, she made her way straight to Li Yifei’s table.

Li Yifei had seen Su Yiyi enter and was inwardly groaning; he felt she had recognized him, not because he feared that he couldn’t explain the situation to her, but because there was simply no opportunity to do so at this moment, which he knew would deeply hurt her. Just as he thought of finding an excuse to leave, Song Xiaoli had already approached, making it too late to do so.

"Are you Yiyi’s boyfriend?" Song Xiaoli came directly in front of Li Yifei and asked with a cold face.

Lin Qiong hadn’t yet seen Su Yiyi, and when this girl suddenly came up to Li Yifei to question him, it startled her. She stood up quickly, glared, and demanded, "Who are you?"

Song Xiaoli looked at Lin Qiong with disdain and sneered, "Humph, Yiyi really must be blind to fall for you. Look at the kind of woman you’re with. Can she compare even a bit to Yiyi?"

At this moment, for the sake of her investigation, Lin Qiong knew it wouldn’t be good to be recognized, growing frantic to get rid of this girl. She turned into an irate woman, pushing Song Xiaoli and exclaimed, "Who are you? This is my husband, what’s this nonsense about a boyfriend? Are you sick?"

It turned out that Song Xiaili was just as fiery. Lin Qiong’s push only made her angrier, and she pushed back, eyes wider, and shouted, "Get away from me! I’m talking to this faithless man. I’m telling you, with someone like you, you’re bound to be kicked to the curb sooner or later."

At that moment, Li Yifei stood up, took Lin Qiong by the hand, and said, "Let’s go."

Ma Yiwei’s eyes lit up, intrigued by the drama unfolding before him, and he quickly said, "Brother Li, you’re quite impressive, having someone here as well. Do you need my help to sort this out?"

Su Yiyi had been heartbroken all along and dared not look at Li Yifei; otherwise, her heart would completely shatter. But hearing Song Xiaoli start to argue, she rushed over in a panic, grabbed Song Xiaoli, and pleaded, "Little Li, stop talking, let’s go!"

Ma Yiwei’s eyes brightened further, not expecting Su Yiyi to be so beautiful. What struck him most was her delicate demeanor, which was touching to any man. Such a girl was truly exceptional. He then glanced at Lin Qiong and felt she paled in comparison to Su Yiyi.

But then he sensed something amiss. Li Yifei wasn’t a local and this was his first time coming here for smuggling; how could it be that he had a kept woman in the area? Instinctively, he turned to look at Li Yifei with doubt in his eyes.

Li Yifei and Lin Qiong both sensed Ma Yiwei’s suspicion. Lin Qiong felt incredibly anxious, whereas Li Yifei, with a lecherous look, said to Su Yiyi, "Little sister, do you recognize me?"

Su Yiyi was startled and scrutinized Li Yifei up and down. Li Yifei did look different from usual, but she was so close to him, and they had lived together so many times, that she was more familiar with him than anyone else could be, so she could still recognize that this was indeed Li Yifei.

"Little sister, you really are pretty. If you think I’m your boyfriend, then I’ll admit it. How about that?" Li Yifei pinched Su Yiyi’s cheek.

Su Yiyi didn’t dodge. She was somewhat dumbfounded, but upon being pinched by Li Yifei, she suddenly realized, Li Yifei had disguised himself like this and even adopted this tone on purpose, clearly intending to hide his identity. Although she didn’t know what Li Yifei was up to, she absolutely could not ruin his plan.

Furthermore, the way Li Yifei was acting so lewdly made her feel scared. If she really mistook someone else for him, wouldn’t that be a terrible mistake? She hurriedly took a step back, saying in a panic, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I got it wrong."

Li Yifei stepped forward to grab Su Yiyi’s hand, saying, "Just because you got it wrong, that’s it? No worries, what I have no shortage of is money. You name a price, and I’ll take care of you."

Instinctively, Su Yiyi backed away several steps, stuttering, "I really made a mistake, I’m sorry, I’m sorry."

Song Xiaoli immediately blocked Li Yifei’s way, angrily saying, "What are you doing? If you keep messing around, I’m going to call the police."

At that moment, Lin Qiong also spoke up in a sardonic tone, "Little girl, randomly recognizing boyfriends, truly sick in the head. Husband, what’s so good about a girl like this, not an ounce of meat on her body."

Li Yifei still seemed somewhat reluctant as he gazed at Su Yiyi, appearing quite smitten, and Lin Qiong pouted, swinging Li Yifei’s arm in displeasure, "Husband, what are you doing?"

Li Yifei then let out a dry laugh, "Alright, alright, let’s go shopping." After walking a couple of steps, he still couldn’t help but look back lingeringly at Su Yiyi.

Ma Yiwei, who had initially been suspicious of Li Yifei when Song Xiaoli came to confront him, now realized that he had been overthinking it. Seeing Li Yifei looking at Su Yiyi infatuatedly, he knew that it was simply a case of mistaken identity. He glanced at Su Yiyi a few times, thinking that such a girl should be taken advantage of if the opportunity arose in the future, and blinking his eyes, said to Li Yifei, "Brother Li, you and your sister-in-law have fun. I won’t disturb you two."

Li Yifei agreed and left the dining area with Lin Qiong. After walking a good distance, Lin Qiong breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "That was close, almost blew our cover."

Li Yifei gave Lin Qiong a contemptuous look, saying, "Look at the mess you’ve made with your makeup. Yiyi recognized me instantly. If those people were to recognize us, we’d be dead."

Lin Qiong awkwardly twisted her mouth but still argued, "It’s because she knows you too well, even if you wear make-up, she can recognize you. But these people have never had any contact with us before, they surely won’t recognize us."

"Let’s hope for the best then, otherwise, you’ll be the death of me."

Back in the dining area, Song Xiaoli and Xiao Ning were eyeing Su Yiyi, whose expression was no longer so sad. Song Xiaoli asked in confusion, "Yiyi, was that guy really not your boyfriend?"

Just as Su Yiyi was about to admit it, her gaze inadvertently caught the man who had been with Li Yifei earlier still lingering around. She immediately shook her head, saying, "No, my boyfriend is younger than him, but they look somewhat similar, I mistook one for the other."

Song Xiaoli and Xiao Ning were both amused and exasperated by Su Yiyi’s mistake, with Xiao Ning saying, "I tell you Yiyi, even a boyfriend can be mistaken, that’s really something."

Su Yiyi was quite embarrassed, but not because she had recognized the wrong person. She felt guilty for having to lie to her good friends instead of telling them the truth. Apologetically, she said, "I’m really sorry, I didn’t see clearly when I came in, and I made Little Li look foolish too."

Song Xiaoli waved it off, "Forget it, who makes me your good friend? Later, have your boyfriend treat me and Xiao Ning to a meal, that’ll be thanks enough."

"No problem at all!" Su Yiyi agreed quickly and repeatedly.

After the three of them finished eating and hung around the mall for a bit, they prepared to head back to school. Seeing Li Yifei today and realizing that what he was doing seemed very unusual, Su Yiyi was quite worried about his safety. She couldn’t help but think about Li Yifei and didn’t dare call him. So after saying a word to Xiao Ning and Song Xiaoli, she went alone to Li Yifei’s home.

Taking a cab, Su Yiyi arrived at Li Yifei’s house to find it seemed like no one had been back for several days. The place was covered in dust. She immediately set about cleaning the house and then sat down on the sofa, her mind full of Li Yifei’s image, all the sweet memories with him. Lost in thought, she couldn’t help but daydream.
