Chapter 315: Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Three: A Woman’s Heart

The beautiful wind chime hung in front of Li Yifei’s office window. When the breeze blew, the shells knocked against each other, making a series of pleasant chimes that lacked rhythm, and even often sounded chaotic. But to Li Yifei, it was like a beautiful piece of music, a love song of affection.

Li Yifei was very much aware that Michelle liked him, but he never expected her affection to be so persistent, so intense, and Michelle’s love never came with any expectations or demands for anything in return. She just silently gave, silently liked.

Looking at the string of wind chimes, Li Yifei let out a soft sigh. Michelle was not bad; in fact, she was very good. Out of the girls he knew, aside from Su Yiyi, Michelle was indeed the most suitable to be a wife. But at present, he didn’t even dare to give Su Yiyi a definitive promise, let alone want Michelle to get involved too.

"Brother Li, you don’t need to think too much. I just like doing this. By doing this, I am happy," Michelle had said to Li Yifei as she left his office after giving him the wind chimes. This lovely girl, when she fell in love, gave her all and expected nothing in return.

There was a knock on the door, and Li Yifei invited the visitor in with a word. As he turned around, He Fangqing pushed the door and entered. The sound of the wind chime immediately caught her attention, and she walked straight to the window, saying with a bit of amusement, "Yifei, for a man, having a string of wind chimes in the office, isn’t that a bit too girlish?"

In front of He Fangqing, Li Yifei always felt unburdened. He shook his head and sighed, "This was given to me by Michelle. She made it herself. Those shells are very hard; to make holes in them for the threads, her hands were covered in pinpricks."

He Fangqing looked at the wind chimes again, and suddenly they seemed to take on a special significance. Turning back to Li Yifei, she said, "That really is a token of that girl’s affection. The gift may be light, but the sentiment is heavy."

Li Yifei lit a cigarette and said, "Exactly, that’s why I’m feeling uncomfortable now. I can’t be with her, and her affection is being wasted on me. Won’t I end up hurting her?"

He Fangqing sat next to Li Yifei, smiling slightly, "You still don’t understand a girl’s heart. When a girl falls in love, she often does so without looking back. And this kind of love is a form of happiness. Even if she doesn’t get anything in return, when she looks back on it later in life, it will be one of the most important colors of her life. Indeed, by rejecting her directly, you would avoid a lot of trouble, but you would also crush a girl’s fantasies and hopes for love."

Li Yifei looked at He Fangqing and said, "Since you’ve explained it so clearly, can you give me a suggestion?"

"A suggestion? Just go with the flow, I guess. You don’t have to deliberately avoid Michelle, nor do you need to express anything to her. Just act like before. This way, you won’t hurt her, nor will she be too upset if you can’t end up together. There’s also another thing, what if you do end up together later?"

"Your idea sounds like no idea at all, but it seems like that’s the only way to go for now. By the way, what did you want to see me for?"

He Fangqing glanced at Li Yifei and said, "You sure change your tune fast. Can’t I visit you if there’s nothing going on? Are you also afraid that I’ll cling to you?"

"How could that be? Even if Fangqing clung to me for a lifetime, I’d be happy to let her."

"Nice words. If a man’s words were to be believed, pigs could climb trees."

After joking for a bit, He Fangqing suddenly fell silent. Li Yifei patted her hand, and said, "What’s wrong? Is there something you can’t talk to me about?"

He Fangqing forced a smile and said, "If it were anything else, I’d ask you without hesitation. But... it’s about my ex-husband."

"About your ex?" Li Yifei looked at He Fangqing, waiting for her to continue.

"It’s like this. When my ex-husband and I got married, we had our households registered together. We didn’t separate them when we divorced. I’ve been busy and didn’t care about it, but now that I have a bit of free time, I’m planning to move my household registration. I don’t want to have any connection with him anymore. Besides, I want to set up residence in Mile City. Without the household registration book, I can’t go through with these procedures."

A smile appeared on Li Yifei’s face immediately, "So that’s what this is about. I’ll get it for you. If he doesn’t hand it over, I’ll make him hand it over by beating him up."

"Hey, you just had a serious expression, are you angry thinking I want to get back with my ex-husband? Now that you know it’s about this, you’re happy again."

Li Yifei’s face turned red, "I did feel that way, actually."

"You men, you’d like it if I didn’t cling to you but get upset if you see me with someone else, typical male chauvinism."

Li Yifei just gave a dry laugh in response to He Fangqing’s words which genuinely reflected his feelings just now.

He Fangqing gave Li Yifei a look, "Alright then, I’m not planning on getting remarried, so I’ll let you off the hook. But when I ask you to come with me, it’s for you to flex some muscle, in case that woman with him starts nagging at me again. It’s really annoying to deal with."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "No problem, when do you want to go?"

"How about tomorrow? I’ve made an appointment with him to pick up the household registration book at his house. Now that he and that woman are living in Mile City, there’s no need to run to the provincial capital."

Now, He Fangqing’s ex-husband, Chen Mingsheng, and that fat woman, Su Juan, had already taken over Huayang Company, naturally, they also had to live in Mile City.

Just thinking about those two made Li Yifei feel disgusted. A man could degrade himself for money and power to such a shrew, it was truly disgraceful. And that Su Juan, being fat wasn’t the problem, but she had to be pretentious, acting like a shrew and occasionally trying to display the coquettishness of a young girl, which was the most disgusting of all.

"No problem, I’ll go with you tomorrow and make sure they give you the household registration book obediently. If that’s still not enough for you, we can ruin their company later and watch them cry."

He Fangqing laughed and said, "Is it that serious? I just don’t want to have anything to do with them anymore. Ruining their company would just make it seem like I can’t stop thinking about Chen Mingsheng. Besides, Huayang Company was built up by Yingying herself. If we ruin it, how would that make Yingying feel?"

Li Yifei thought about it and realized that, given Xu Yingying’s personality, she was indeed very attached to that company. Ruining Huayang Company would definitely not sit well with her. He chuckled and said, "I was just talking. We don’t really have the power to ruin someone else’s company just like that."

"Really? It seems like a certain someone is the president of this company. If he were to use a few tens of millions to play dirty, it definitely wouldn’t be a problem."

Li Yifei thought to himself that he didn’t need to use the company’s money, the money left by Su Mengxin was more than enough to ruin Huayang Company. But, thinking of this money made him realize that in the past few days he spent with Su Mengxin, he never thought about returning it to her. He shouldn’t let her think he was embezzling it.

But on second thought, Su Mengxin wouldn’t care about this sum of money at all. In the past, she had mentioned that it was meant for him to use for non-company expenses when necessary. Returning it to Su Mengxin would actually seem like he wasn’t being a good friend.

He Fangqing nudged Li Yifei and teased, "Hey, Mr. President, what are you daydreaming about? Don’t always take advantage of me. You’ve got to reward me too, don’t you? Maybe get me a sports car worth a few million to drive."

Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "No problem. Don’t even mention a sports car, I can even get you a plane if you want."

"A plane... I think you’re better off playing with your own ’plane’."

"So you know about that too, huh? Want to help me ’fly’ it once?" Li Yifei wrapped his arm around He Fangqing’s shoulders.

He Fangqing pinched Li Yifei’s crotch and said, "I’m afraid of exhausting you to death. You better save your energy. After tomorrow’s task is done, I’ll reward you properly."

Li Yifei’s eyes lit up, "That’s what you said. If you don’t satisfy me then, I won’t let you off the hook."

"I can satisfy you? You’re like a beast, strong as an ox. You always leave me exhausted to near death."

"Haha, men have to be strong, right? How else can we make women submit?"

"Submit to your big ghost," He Fangqing shot Li Yifei a flirtatious look and then turned and walked out.

After fooling around with He Fangqing, Li Yifei was in a great mood. Every time he was with her, he felt the most relaxed, with no burden on his heart, just boundless happiness.

Perhaps that was the very reason why He Fangqing captivated him so much.

Sitting at his desk, Li Yifei lit up a cigarette and thought about the next day’s task of getting the household registration book from Chen Mingsheng. Perhaps Chen still harbored feelings for He Fangqing and would not make things too difficult, but as for that woman, Su Juan, she would undoubtedly take this opportunity to thoroughly humiliate He Fangqing.

This made Li Yifei truly not understand the woman’s heart. Su Juan had stolen someone else’s husband, and yet she was still relentless towards He Fangqing, as if the two had some deep hatred.

Li Yifei still didn’t understand women. Su Juan’s hatred for He Fangqing was because she knew she couldn’t compare to He Fangqing in any aspect besides having money. Even now that Chen Mingsheng was her husband, she knew she was far less important to him than He Fangqing.

Therefore, she wanted to humiliate He Fangqing and make her look bad in front of Chen, seeking a bit of consolation for herself.

Li Yifei now had to prepare to prevent He Fangqing from being embarrassed and to properly deal with that couple of adulterers. He Fangqing was his woman now, and he wouldn’t allow anyone to bully her.
