Chapter 325: Chapter 333: Almost Succeeding

Xu Shanshan hadn’t been using much force from the beginning. Her little foot had never really exerted strength when playfully kicking Li Yifei. But Li Yifei had been so preoccupied with his melancholy just now that he hadn’t noticed how much Xu Shanshan’s foot had slipped inside. By the time he snapped back to attention, the tip of her little foot had made intimate contact with a very delicate part of him.

For a man, this area was extremely fragile. Even though Xu Shanshan hadn’t kicked hard, Li Yifei still felt the pain.

However, Xu Shanshan was completely unaware that her kicking had reached a restricted level. Her foot swung back a little and then kicked forward again.

Li Yifei didn’t dare let Xu Shanshan kick him any longer, so he quickly reached out and caught her mischievous little foot.

Xu Shanshan’s foot was caught by Li Yifei, but she refused to settle down, wriggling a few times in Li Yifei’s hand. He gently tapped on the back of her foot as a warning to stop her nonsense and then let go.

Xu Shanshan withdrew her foot, but shortly afterwards, it stretched out again—this time without a shoe, just a flesh-colored stocking.

This time, she wasn’t kicking Li Yifei; instead, she was gently pressing on his leg, massaging it up and down, just like the movements she made the day before while playing mahjong at home.

Even in such a cramped and stifling space, Li Yifei found himself being teased by Xu Shanshan’s little foot to the point where he began to daydream. His mind was filled with the sneaky little antics they did under the table yesterday, and his right hand subconsciously grasped Xu Shanshan’s foot.

Li Yifei could clearly feel Xu Shanshan’s foot stiffen for a moment before relaxing. She didn’t struggle, allowing him to hold it, which implicitly meant she was leaving things to his discretion.

But at this moment, Li Yifei started to feel a bit awkward about taking further action. Xu Shanshan was adorable, and being with her always brought joy. She made it easy to forget any burdens or unhappiness. Precisely because Xu Shanshan was such a cheerful girl, Li Yifei couldn’t deceive her. So even though he was quite reluctant, he gently pushed her foot forward, indicating that she should pull it back.

However, Xu Shanshan didn’t retract her foot but continued to extend it forward.

"Just now Old Lin said that Little Qiong’s husband is also named Li Yifei, and our Yingying’s husband is called Li Yifei too. What a coincidence," one of the mothers said.

Xu Yingying’s mother and Lin Qiong’s mother had been chatting, and inevitably, they started talking about their daughters’ boyfriends. Li Yifei, overhearing the conversation, temporarily forgot about Xu Shanshan’s foot and pricked up his ears to listen.

Lin Qiong’s mother laughed, "Yes, what a coincidence! And they are both from Mile City. Little Qiong, Yingying, since you two know each other, perhaps they do as well?"

Lin Qiong quickly shook her head vigorously in denial, but Xu Yingying nodded. This puzzled both mothers, who looked at the two daughters in bewilderment.

Lin Qiong inwardly cursed the bad turn of events and was about to explain when Xu Yingying said with a smile, "Although I know Little Qiong, we only interact professionally and don’t socialize much privately. As for our Li Yifei and Little Qiong’s husband, they are indeed both employees at our company. Both are exceptional in their own right, and they even look somewhat similar in stature and appearance. We thought they might as well be twins like us!"

Xu Yingying was clever. Although she didn’t know what identity Li Yifei had used when he went to Lin Qiong’s house, she couldn’t imagine that Li Yifei would have expected Lin Qiong’s parents to meet hers. So, he wouldn’t have concocted another identity and surely represented himself as an employee from their company. By stating this in advance, it would lead the parents to think there were many commonalities between the two Li Yifeis. By giving this explanation beforehand, she could dispel any doubts they might have.

She then glanced at Lin Qiong and continued, "I do know Little Qiong’s husband has a girlfriend, but I don’t inquire much about his private life. It’s only now that I realize he is Little Qiong’s husband, hehe."

Lin Qiong hastily said, "What a coincidence indeed. My husband has never mentioned anyone with the same name at his company."

Xu Yingying chuckled, "Your Li Yifei, although he can be quite sharp-tongued at times, doesn’t gossip much, unlike the one in our house, who never stops blabbing nonsense all day."

With Xu Yingying’s explanation, the parents from both families laughed heartily. But after their laughter, Xu Yingying’s mother suggested, "Yingying, give Yifei a call and see where he’s gone to; why has he not come back yet after such a long time."

Lin Qiong’s mother quickly said, "Little Qiong, you call Yifei too, to see if he’s gone back. If he hasn’t, then have him come over here to visit Uncle Xu’s family." She added a meaningful look towards Lin Qiong, hinting that now that there was this connection, and considering Li Yifei worked at Xu Yingying’s company, they hoped Xu Yingying could take extra care of him in the future.

Xu Yingying immediately laughed, "That’s true. Your Li Yifei should actually be on a business trip in Mile City right now. Hehe, if I had known about this gathering earlier, I would have sent someone else to handle the business."

Lin Qiong’s mother quickly added, "Hehe, we weren’t aware of this relationship before, but now we do. Yingying, you’ll have to look after our Yifei from now on."

Xu Yingying hadn’t even replied when her mother preempted her, saying, "Of course, it’s all the same who you use, but when it’s one of our own, we must take good care of them. Yingying, your Uncle Lin was your father’s old comrade-in-arms."

Xu Yingying quickly responded with a smile, "I know, didn’t I know before? Now that I do, of course, things are different. Alright, you all keep eating. Lin Qiong, let’s go make a call and find out where these two rascals have run off to."

Lin Qiong promptly followed Xu Yingying out of the private room, silently admiring Xu Yingying’s adaptability. She knew she couldn’t match that, and had Xu Yingying not been there today, Lin Qiong was afraid she would’ve given them away with just a few words.

After the two left, Lin Qiong immediately whispered, "Where did Li Yifei run off to?"

Xu Yingying shook her head and said, "I have no idea. Who knows where he went? He was just in the room a moment ago. When you all came in, I was worried that your parents would see him. But as soon as you came in, he vanished without a trace."

Being a police officer, Lin Qiong was quite sensitive to such matters. Frowning, she considered the situation in the room and said, "The room is quite simple. Aside from under the table, there’s nowhere else to hide. But the table is only so big, and neither you nor I noticed anyone, neither did your parents or mine, nor did Shanshan. So, it’s unlikely he’s under there, meaning he must have left the room. We were at the door and he didn’t leave through it, so he must have escaped through the window."

"Escaped through the window? This is the fourth floor," Xu Yingying exclaimed, her eyes widening.

Lin Qiong’s eyebrows twitched as she said, "Don’t worry, even though this is the fourth floor, Li Yifei is quite skilled. Climbing down from here should be no problem at all for him."

"Really?" Xu Yingying still found it hard to believe.

"Of course, if someone had fallen, there would be a commotion downstairs by now, but since there isn’t any noise, it means he’s probably fine."

That made sense to Xu Yingying, but she was still worried and said, "Then I’ll check the window later, just in case he’s hiding somewhere. Wouldn’t want him to have an accident."

Lin Qiong was actually also concerned and harbored the same thought, but she still restrained Xu Yingying, saying, "Later on, we’ll explain why Li Yifei isn’t here."

After a moment of thought, Xu Yingying said, "We’ll say that your Li Yifei had an important client to deal with and he just happened to run into our Li Yifei, so they went together to accompany the client."

Lin Qiong nodded; this excuse was quite good. For young people, work comes first, and such a reason is always plausible.

Returning to the room, Xu Yingying let out a sigh and said, "The two of them are together now, Lin Qiong’s husband isn’t with a client? That’s a tough customer to deal with. He happened to see our Yifei, so he pulled him along to help. When those two start working, they are so earnest. I called them, and they said it would take at least a few hours to get things sorted out."

Lin Qiong’s mother immediately said apologetically, "Our Yifei is really something, how could he drag your Yifei away like that? It’s your sister-in-law’s birthday, after all."

Xu Yingying’s mother chimed in with a laugh, "What’s the big deal about a birthday? I’m not seventy or eighty years old. Missing one day is no issue; we can celebrate next year. Young people should prioritize their careers. It’s actually a good thing."

Lin Qiong’s mother also added, "That’s true. Let’s gather again after some time, and then we must bring both Yifeis along, and not let them run off again."

Finally, they had resolved the issue, and both Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong breathed a sigh of relief. Nevertheless, neither of them could rest easy, so, pretending it was casual, they walked to the window. Looking out, they saw no sign of Li Yifei.

What relieved them, though, was that there were many exterior-mounted air-conditioning units outside. If Li Yifei had indeed left this way, there were plenty of footholds for him, so it seemed unlikely there would be any problems.

At that moment, Li Yifei could finally relax, grateful that Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong were clever enough to smoothly cover for his unexpected disappearance.

Only when he relaxed did Li Yifei realize that Xu Shanshan’s foot was still in his hand. He seemed to have been inadvertently rather naughty, as he had removed Xu Shanshan’s stocking, and was now playing with her foot.

Startled, Li Yifei wondered how he could have absentmindedly done such a thing and instinctively pushed away Xu Shanshan’s foot.

"Ouch!" At that moment, Xu Shanshan let out a cry of surprise as her body, along with the chair, toppled backward. Her foot kicked up involuntarily, lifting the blanket, and Li Yifei was suddenly completely exposed...
