Chapter 302: Chapter 310: The Silverfish Attack

When a living creature suddenly drops into your clothes, even if it’s a completely harmless goldfish, it’s definitely going to give you the creeps. Xu Yingying experienced just that, when a silver little fish jumped into her clothing. Considering she was wearing merely two items, naturally, it fell right into her swimsuit top.

Xu Yingying’s bosom was not small, and her swimsuit normally clung tightly to her body. But just now, as she was holding the little fish, she struck a pose that inadvertently led to a small gap opening up at the top of her bra, and the little fish, as luck would have it, wriggled in through that gap.

The moment the fish wriggled in, Xu Yingying’s body tensed up in fright, making it impossible for the fish to escape. But a living thing, of course, would not just wait to die. Inside, it struggled nonstop, cold and slimy.

And Xu Yingying was there, shrieking, even though she knew that it was just a little fish that had made its way in, she was too scared to reach in and grab it.

Li Yifei hadn’t seen the specifics, and Xu Yingying’s cries startled him. He quickly supported Xu Yingying, asking urgently, "What’s wrong with you?"

"This... this here! Get it out quickly!" Xu Yingying’s face was devoid of color as she pointed to her chest, stuttering as she spoke.

Li Yifei was taken aback for a moment, then pointed to Xu Yingying’s chest and said, "Here?"

"Yes yes, right there... Hurry, it’s moving again." Xu Yingying was trembling all over, almost about to cry.

At this point, Li Yifei was staring at Xu Yingying’s swimsuit where it kept moving, and putting her words together with what he was seeing, he finally understood what was going on. He couldn’t help but laugh and said, "It’s just a little fish, you can take it out yourself."

"Aah! I can’t do it, you quickly help me take it out," begged Xu Yingying, holding up her hands pitifully towards Li Yifei.

Li Yifei by now realized Xu Yingying wasn’t faking it and found the whole situation even funnier. President Xu, who usually intimidated everyone and whom the hundred or so employees in the company feared, was now terrified by a harmless little fish, even allowing him to touch such a sensitive part of her body.

The situation had Li Yifei in knots of laughter, remembering how last time with Su Mengxin, they had encountered a similar situation. But Su Mengxin wore regular clothes, and the fish that had gotten into her clothing quickly fell out. He was only afraid that Su Mengxin would get scared and fall into the sea. Now, as for Xu Yingying, she couldn’t get it out and needed him to help. This time was definitely going to be more thrilling than the last.

Since Xu Yingying was so frightened, Li Yifei did not think she was trying to seduce him. Besides, even though Xu Yingying always said she wanted to be with him, she had never resorted to using seduction. So, without hesitation, he reached out his hand, directly slipping it into the top of Xu Yingying’s swimsuit.

But as soon as his hand went in a little, it couldn’t go any further, which puzzled Li Yifei even more – how had the little fish gotten in there?

"Take a deep breath, I’m going to reach inside," Li Yifei reminded Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying, being very cooperative at this point, immediately took a deep breath. Her chest receded a bit, allowing Li Yifei’s hand to reach further inside. But with that extra space, the little fish slid down a bit further.

Li Yifei had to reach in deeper, his palm now completely enclosing Xu Yingying’s right breast, his palm resting on that little cherry on top. It was truly indulgent. Even though this wasn’t the first time he had touched Xu Yingying’s chest, feeling her up under these circumstances still left Li Yifei enthralled, almost forgetting what he was initially supposed to do.

At this moment, Xu Yingying wasn’t aware of any impropriety in Li Yifei’s actions. His hand was far less frightening than the little fish. She asked anxiously, "Haven’t you caught it yet?"

"Almost got it," Li Yifei hastily stopped dawdling and reached further down, his fingers finally touching the little fish.

But the little fish, struggling fiercely at that moment, slid out from the bottom of Xu Yingying’s swimsuit, flapped its tail a few times on the rocks, and then slid down into the water.

Li Yifei found it somewhat amusing; in the end, it wasn’t he who got the fish out after all. If a fish could be extricated that easily, Xu Yingying could have done it all by herself.

With the fish out, Xu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, but then she realized Li Yifei’s hand was still there. She glared at him and demanded, "Haven’t you had your fill of touching?"

Li Yifei chuckled awkwardly, "You asked me to catch the fish, now why blame me?" With that, he started to withdraw his hand.

But before he could pull his hand out, they heard a cry of surprise. He quickly turned his head and saw Michelle standing below the rocks, gaping at the two of them in disbelief.

Xu Yingying saw Michelle too, and with Li Yifei’s hand still inside her swimsuit, she felt utterly embarrassed and started yanking on Li Yifei’s arm desperately.

Seeing Michelle, Li Yifei also realized he needed to pull his hand out, but as he pulled to the right and Xu Yingying pulled to the left, it looked as though Xu Yingying didn’t want his hand to come out, while Li Yifei appeared unwilling to withdraw it.

"Get it out quickly!" Xu Yingying had not anticipated that Li Yifei would act this way. It would have been fine if they were alone, but now that Michelle had arrived, and he still wouldn’t withdraw his hand – did he intend to keep touching her in front of Michelle?

"Don’t pull on me!" Li Yifei also shouted.

Both realized they were exerting their force in opposite directions. Instinctively, they tried to pull away from each other once again, but the result was the same. Their efforts were opposing, and Li Yifei’s hand remained firmly in place.

Both of them finally realized what was happening, and Xu Yingying quickly let go, allowing Li Yifei to withdraw his hand.

But to Michelle, it seemed like Li Yifei and Xu Yingying were being very affectionate, and it took quite a while for Li Yifei to remove his hand.

This was beyond Michelle’s imagination. Hadn’t Li Yifei said that his relationship with Xu Yingying wasn’t serious? What was this situation then? If their relationship hadn’t progressed to that extent, why would Xu Yingying allow Li Yifei to reach into her clothes and touch such an intimate area?

Michelle wasn’t afraid of Su Yiyi; she believed she had the capability to compete. Even if she eventually failed and Li Yifei didn’t choose her, she still had the courage to compete. However, if it involved Xu Yingying, then Michelle felt she truly lacked the courage to compete. Xu Yingying was so beautiful, so elegant, talented, and the president of a big company—Michelle didn’t have anything to compete with her on.

"Cough cough, Michelle, things aren’t what you imagine," said President Xu, even though she was a president, she still said the most clichéd line.

Michelle struggled to show a forced smile and said, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you two," and then turned to leave.

At that moment, Xu Yingying wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She quickly pushed Li Yifei hard and urged, "Go and explain to Michelle, quick!"

Li Yifei let out a sigh and said, "What should I explain to her? That there’s nothing between us, and that I like her?"

Xu Yingying paused for a moment, then stood up and said, "I’ll go tell her," and then climbed down the rocks, shouting, "Michelle, wait for me," as she hopped on one foot after Michelle.

Michelle stopped and turned around when she saw Xu Yingying chasing after her. She hastened back to support Xu Yingying, showing a forced smile and said, "President Xu, I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I didn’t know about you and Brother Li, I’ve caused you trouble."

Xu Yingying smiled faintly and said, "Just now Li Yifei caught a fish that accidentally slipped into my swimsuit. I was scared, so I asked him to help me get it out."

"Ah!" Michelle’s face instantly showed a surprised and pleased expression.

Xu Yingying patted Michelle’s shoulder and said, "Things really aren’t as you imagined, but there is one thing I must clarify to you—I do like Li Yifei, and I really do want to be with him."

Michelle’s face immediately changed again, her lips twitched, but she couldn’t utter a sound.

Xu Yingying laughed softly and said, "Michelle, I’m just like you. I like him too, but as you know, he has a girlfriend. We’re in the same situation. Whether we can end up with him still depends on our own efforts. What? Are you thinking of backing out now? Do you lack courage that much?"

Michelle’s face changed several times, finally she bit her lip and said, "President Xu, what you mean is, you don’t oppose me... competing with you?"

"Having so many people like him just proves how outstanding he is, just like in business. If everyone wants to do business, then it must be profitable, but whether you can succeed still depends on your ability. I certainly hope to not see any of my employees shrink back when facing a challenge."

Michelle looked at Xu Yingying and nodded firmly, saying, "President Xu, I understand. I, Michelle, am not someone who gives up easily either."

"That’s the spirit. Love is an irrational thing; no one can tell who is right for someone else. I have a chance, and so do you."

"Great! Thank you, President Xu." Michelle’s face finally bore a smile, a brilliant and confident one, nothing like the forced smile she showed before.

Xu Yingying patted Michelle’s shoulder again and asked, "Why did you come back first? Where are the others?"

Michelle blushed and said, "Brother Li wasn’t there, and I found it boring without him, so..."

"Well, then let’s go fishing together."

"Yes, let’s go together."

Li Yifei, unable to hear the low conversation between Xu Yingying and Michelle, was clueless when the two women climbed back onto the rock and sat down beside him, one on each side, as Michelle still showed him a sweet smile. This left Li Yifei completely baffled; what on earth had Xu Yingying said to Michelle to elicit such a reaction?

"Brother Li, I’ll join you in fishing too if you don’t mind," said Michelle, noting the confusion in Li Yifei’s eyes. She and Xu Yingying exchanged knowing smiles before she addressed Li Yifei.

Li Yifei, still unclear about what was happening and not eager to inquire further, couldn’t believe Xu Yingying and Michelle would form any alliance. He laughed and said, "Of course, I don’t mind. Having two beautiful women join me for fishing would make all those coworkers of mine green with envy."

Xu Yingying watched Li Yifei chat and laugh with Michelle and suddenly felt a twinge of regret. If she had let Michelle leave earlier, she would have had one less rival in love. Yet, she had given Michelle another chance.

But Xu Yingying quickly accepted the situation; to achieve what she Xu Yingying wanted, even if there were more opponents, she had nothing to fear.
