Chapter 314: Chapter 322 Little Wind Chime

Although both of them were drunk, they didn’t lose their virtues because of alcohol and didn’t end up in bed. Instead, they supported each other to the couch, and after spouting some nonsense, they fell asleep next to each other on the couch.

When Li Yifei woke up the next day, he found Su Mengxin sleeping soundly, hugging his thigh, and his own feet were, astonishingly, propped against Su Mengxin’s chest, allowing him to feel the amazing elasticity of her chest.

Li Yifei rubbed his forehead, somewhat caught between laughter and tears. He couldn’t believe he got so drunk after such little alcohol; he almost suspected that Su Mengxin had spiked his drink, but of course, that was impossible.

Such a posture was unavoidably ambiguous, especially with Su Mengxin, the number one beauty of Huaxia. This added a lot of pressure on him, and his stinky feet were even more desecrating for they were propped on the holy peaks of Su Mengxin.

He gently moved his feet away and then sat up. Li Yifei cradled Su Mengxin’s head and placed a pillow under it, intending to pull her arm away so he could move his foot that had unjustly taken advantage all night.

But at that moment, Su Mengxin’s lips smacked together, and she hugged Li Yifei’s leg even tighter, as if she found this sleeping position very comfortable.

Looking at Su Mengxin’s sweet sleeping face, Li Yifei suddenly felt a bit reluctant to disturb her. The number one beauty of Huaxia may be aloof when she’s awake, but at that moment, she was just a little woman.

"Fine then, if you want to hug, just hug," Li Yifei shook his head, laid back down, and closed his eyes to rest.

Over half an hour later, Su Mengxin finally woke up, and found herself hugging Li Yifei’s leg all night. She swiftly felt embarrassed, quickly let go of his leg, sat up, straightened her clothing, and said, "How did I drink so much."

Li Yifei chuckled, "I also drank too much. It’s a good thing I didn’t do anything inappropriate."

Su Mengxin playfully slapped Li Yifei’s leg and said, "How would I know if you did anything? I was so drunk last night, you could have done anything and I wouldn’t be aware."

"You don’t think I really did anything, do you?" Li Yifei’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Su Mengxin lifted her chin, "Yeah, that sort of thing, you might not have done. But as for touching me, or kissing me, how would I know?"

"I would have liked to, but I didn’t dare," Li Yifei acknowledged Su Mengxin was joking and played along with her words.

"You’re really a coward, huh? A man shouldn’t be so timid," she teased.

"So you’re encouraging me? Next time I get you drunk, I’ll definitely do it," he threatened playfully.

"Hehe, then I’ll just wait for the next time you get me drunk," she said, joining in the banter.

After a few more jokes, Li Yifei warned Su Mengxin, "Someone might be out to get you. Although only one person acted yesterday, there were two more nearby, possibly others as well. Be very careful in the next few days, and it’s best to bring more bodyguards when you go out."

Deeply touched by Li Yifei’s concern, Su Mengxin nodded and said, "I know, but I have to return to Capital City today."

"Hmm, it’ll be better in Capital City. Those forces will find it very difficult to infiltrate there." Capital City is a strategic location, heavily guarded by numerous defense agencies. Apart from the elite Flying Hawk Squad, there are many other agencies almost as powerful as Flying Hawk. Any forces attempting to act in Capital City would be spotted by these agencies before they could even make a move.

What Su Mengxin was actually looking forward to the most was Li Yifei asking when she would return, but Li Yifei didn’t ask, leading her to feel a bit disappointed. However, she understood that even though their relationship took a step forward last night, becoming as close as Su Yiyi and receiving the same caring treatment from Yifei would take more time.

"This time when I go back, there’s quite a bit of business to handle. I won’t be returning for a while. If there’s anything you need, you can call me directly."

"Sure, if I run into any official issues, I’ll have you take care of it."

"Hehe, considering who you are..." Su Mengxin started to say, thinking of the clout Li Yifei now had as her fake cousin, but stopped herself, not wanting to wound his pride.

Li Yifei chimed in with a laugh, "I forgot that I’m your cousin. Mayors, Municipal Party Secretaries—who wouldn’t give me face."

Seeing how at ease Li Yifei was, without the slightest sense of inferiority, Su Mengxin laughed. This was the man she liked—unfettered, composed, and confident. "Alright then, I’m going home now. Oh, and remember to treat me to stinky tofu next time I come back."

"No problem, we won’t have dinner. We’ll just eat stinky tofu."

"Giggle, it’s a deal then."

Su Mengxin got up and left Li Yifei’s home, while Li Yifei tidied up a bit before heading to work.

Today was Tuesday, and the weekend outing had greatly boosted the morale of the company’s staff. When Li Yifei arrived at the office, he could already sense the employees’ lively and spirited atmosphere.

Compared to his colleagues, Li Yifei felt like he was the most relaxed person in the company, working for three days and then slacking for two.

As soon as he settled into his office, Xu Yingying’s phone call came through, and Li Yifei had to get up again to go to Xu Yingying’s office.

"How did it go?" There was a hint of concern in Xu Yingying’s eyes.

Li Yifei smiled and replied, "It’s all taken care of."

"It’s over just like that?" Xu Yingying looked at Li Yifei in surprise and asked, "How did it end?"

Li Yifei briefly described the whole incident, but Xu Yingying, with her keen sense, felt the danger involved. As soon as Li Yifei finished, she glared at him and said, "You’d better not get involved in such dangerous matters in the future. There are police to handle cases, it’s not your place to step in."

Li Yifei could feel Xu Yingying’s concern, so he wasn’t bothered by her bossy attitude and smiled, "I was just helping a friend out, and besides, it was quite thrilling."

"Yeah, so thrilling, spending time with a beautiful policewoman every day, even pretending to be lovers, you must have taken a lot of advantage of that opportunity."

Li Yifei burst into laughter, knowing he couldn’t hide it from Xu Yingying. The other day, Xu Yingying had pretended to be his wife and had gone to such lengths, so it was natural for Lin Qiong, the lover, to get intimate with him.

"By the way, my dad’s birthday is in a couple of days, and he wants us to come home. Is that going to be a problem for you?"

"Your dad’s birthday, what do you need me to go back for?"

"Don’t play dumb. Remember, as far as they’re concerned, we’re married. It would look bad if you didn’t go, wouldn’t it?"

"Oh... I actually forgot about that. Sigh, when will this ever end," Li Yifei lamented with a look of dejection.

Xu Yingying was displeased. Li Yifei was kind to everyone else but always seemed reluctant when it came to her. This made her feel like a failure. Taking a deep breath, she said, "Just stick it out. At the very least, I’m your friend, right? You did such dangerous things for Lin Qiong, your police friend. You wouldn’t refuse to help me with this, right?"

"Alright, I’ll help, okay? Isn’t that enough?" he replied.

"Then it’s settled. This Friday, we’ll go home and come back on Sunday."

Li Yifei’s mouth twitched, "Can’t we pick another day?"

"Is there an option to reschedule birthdays?"

"Well, there really isn’t. Alright, alright, I’ll go," he conceded.

"Hmph, does this interfere with your rendezvous with your little girlfriend?"

"You know about that?" Li Yifei replied grudgingly.

Xu Yingying was quite smug. Last weekend, she prevented Li Yifei from being with his girlfriend during the company trip, and this weekend, they would be going home for her father’s birthday, still ensuring that Li Yifei couldn’t be with Su Yiyi.

However, Xu Yingying quickly scorned herself. If she was going to compete for someone’s attention, she would do so fair and square. Sabotaging their time felt underhanded and winning that way wasn’t honorable.

Lifting her head, Xu Yingying said to Li Yifei, "This is purely coincidental. I didn’t mean to ruin things between you two. If I were to compete, I would never resort to such tactics."

Li Yifei chuckled, "It would be even better if you didn’t compete at all."

"Don’t you dare think that will happen," Xu Yingying, her anger rekindled by his comment, glared fiercely at Li Yifei.

"Suit yourself, then. I’m taking off," Li Yifei said and left Xu Yingying’s office to return to his.

As noon approached, Michelle came to his office with a beaming smile, "Brother Li, you’re back."

Li Yifei smiled, "Yes, I’m back. I came as soon as I had finished with everything." Seeing Michelle reminded him of a secret between her and Xu Yingying that he had forgotten to ask about earlier. It seemed he would need to inquire about it when he had the chance.

"Take a look at what this is?" Michelle held out a box to Li Yifei.

"A gift, too?" Li Yifei received it chuckling.

"Open it up and see," Michelle said, standing with her hands clasped behind her back, leaning slightly forward, her face radiating sweetness.

Li Yifei sat on the sofa, opened the box, and inside was a beautiful array of seashells strung together with silk thread, forming a lovely seashell wind chime.

"Brother Li, I saw these seashell wind chimes being sold on the island, but they weren’t very nice, so I picked some shells myself and made one. I thought it would be nice to hang this wind chime in your office. When the wind blows, it should make a pleasant jingling sound," said Michelle, lifting her hands as she spoke. Li Yifei, however, suddenly grabbed her hand. Michelle tried to pull her hand back, somewhat embarrassed, "Brother Li... I... I..."

Li Yifei’s action wasn’t to get intimate with Michelle but because he noticed she seemed to be injured. Holding her left hand in his palm, he saw many needle-like wounds on her fingers and palm, which made his heart ache. These were certainly wounds from making the wind chime.

Looking at the wind chime, Li Yifei felt a heavy, moving sensation in his heart. The wind chime might be inexpensive, and such seashells were ubiquitous on the beach, but that chime was imbued with Michelle’s deep affection, profoundly touching Li Yifei’s heart.
