Chapter 352: Chapter 359 I Don’t Mind

Xu Shanshan lay in bed, filled with anticipation. She waited and waited, but after more than half an hour, there was still no sign of any movement from the room next door.

"What’s going on? What are those two up to? Why aren’t they getting intimate?" she muttered to herself, turning over. Then she continued to talk to herself. "I get it, they’re probably just afraid of me hearing them, so they’re holding back. Let’s see how long they can resist. Hehe."

After waiting a while longer with still no response from next door, Xu Shanshan could hardly stand it anymore. Annoyed, she said, "This silly brother-in-law, you’re a man, aren’t you? How can you not take the initiative now? You’ve already had that kind of relationship with my sister, so what are you afraid of now?"

Thinking of this, Xu Shanshan couldn’t help but smirk. What happened that night was entirely her doing, and whenever she thought about it, she couldn’t help but feel excited. Now, what she anticipated the most was the moment when Li Yifei and Xu Yingying would be together, knowing that would be more thrilling. She had waited so long just to not miss such a good show.

But Xu Shanshan waited until she didn’t know when she fell asleep, still not hearing any sounds from next door.

The first ray of dawn sunlight shone through the curtains onto the big bed in the bedroom as Xu Yingying opened her eyes. She hadn’t slept well all night, worried about when Li Yifei might try to touch her. Their relationship had changed, leaving her unsure of what to think.

Now, as the sun rose, she woke up quickly and instinctively looked over at Li Yifei. She saw him lying on his back, his pajamas rolled up to his chest, revealing a small part of his abdomen, adorned with a bit of black hair around his navel. He appeared to be sleeping soundly.

This sight made Xu Yingying sigh with relief, yet she soon felt a bit displeased. They weren’t pretending to be a married couple or boyfriend and girlfriend as they used to, so why was he still sleeping so soundly? Was she not attractive to him at all?

However... this guy really was quite fit. He even had a six-pack. How had she not noticed that before?

Xu Yingying’s face blushed immediately. She couldn’t believe she was beginning to pay attention to Li Yifei’s physique, and promptly shifted her gaze elsewhere.

But for some unknown reason, she couldn’t help but glance back at Li Yifei, observing him from head to toe. She suddenly realized that, in terms of appearance, Li Yifei was indeed quite masculine, strong without being out of shape. His exposed arm wasn’t too thick, yet each inch of muscle carried an explosive power. Like what her friends used to say when discussing men, such a man was the best kind.

Chiding herself inwardly, Xu Yingying carefully sat up, then quietly tiptoed out of the bedroom. After washing up, she was surprised to find it was only six o’clock. In summer, it got light early, and the sun was already up by four.

But Xu Yingying wasn’t sleepy anymore. She considered working on her computer but hesitated, instead quietly changing clothes and heading out from her home.

When Li Yifei got up, he found that Xu Yingying was no longer in bed. As he rose to wash up, he smelled something fragrant from the kitchen, which made him a bit surprised. After brushing his teeth, he looked into the kitchen and saw Xu Yingying placing some small steamed buns on a plate.

"You got up to buy breakfast?" Li Yifei asked, surprised.

Xu Yingying flashed a generous smile and said, "Yes, I saw you sleeping soundly, so I got up to buy breakfast. I can’t just rely on you like before." On her way to buy breakfast, Xu Yingying passed through the neighborhood, breathing in the fresh air and greeting the elderly morning exercisers, which put her in a great mood. Plus, since it wasn’t nighttime, she could face Li Yifei without any anxiety.

"That’s really nice, I can just eat without any effort," Li Yifei felt relaxed by Xu Yingying’s natural demeanor.

Xu Yingying smiled again, saying, "Go wake Shanshan to eat. She has to work today too."

Li Yifei acknowledged it and went to knock on Xu Shanshan’s door, calling out, "Shanshan, time to eat."

But there was no sound from inside, and after several calls, Xu Shanshan finally grumbled in response.

When Xu Shanshan emerged, Li Yifei and Xu Yingying looked at her in surprise, noticing her red eyes and dark circles, a clear sign of a poor night’s sleep.

"Shanshan, what’s wrong? Didn’t sleep well last night?" Li Yifei asked first.

"Ha..." Xu Shanshan yawned widely, covering her mouth, and replied wearily, "Yeah, went to bed late last night."

"Why were you up so late? Don’t you know you have to work today?" Xu Yingying frowned.

Xu Shanshan pouted and said, "It’s because of you two."

"Because of us?" Xu Yingying blushed but quickly said, "What nonsense, nothing happened last night; how did we affect you?"

Xu Shanshan mumbled, "It’s because you didn’t make any noise that I couldn’t sleep well."

"We didn’t make any noise, and you couldn’t sleep... were you just waiting to hear something?" Xu Yingying felt both annoyed and embarrassed, but deep down she knew that was exactly the case.

Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "Is that not allowed?"

Both Li Yifei and Xu Yingying’s faces darkened instantly. Xu Yingying wanted to say something, but Li Yifei quickly interjected, "Hurry and eat."

Xu Yingying glared at Xu Shanshan, not saying anything more, but her mind was troubled. She knew the soundproofing in their apartment wasn’t great, as she had overheard Li Yifei and He Fangqing before. So, if she did anything with Li Yifei now, Xu Shanshan would definitely hear it.

The thought of her sister being in the next room, listening to the two of them, made Xu Yingying feel extremely uncomfortable. They really needed to find a place with better soundproofing.

"Why am I even thinking about doing anything with him?" Xu Yingying suddenly realized this thought, her face reddening again.

Xu Shanshan sneaked a peek at Li Yifei and Xu Yingying, seeing Xu Yingying’s expression. She smirked but didn’t tease her sister further. Compared to that event, no other fun was worth anticipating.

After breakfast, Li Yifei and Xu Yingying each drove to work, while Xu Shanshan eagerly got into Li Yifei’s car.

"You should ride with me," Xu Yingying immediately called out to Xu Shanshan.

"I don’t want to ride your car, it’s too boring in a regular Mercedes. Riding my brother-in-law’s Porsche is way cooler," she finished, already seated in Li Yifei’s car, shutting the door with a thud.

Xu Yingying was helpless with her sister. She told Li Yifei, "Drop Shanshan off and come back to work directly. There are lots of things to handle at the company today."

Li Yifei nodded, started the car, and drove out of the underground garage.

"Brother-in-law, sigh..." Xu Shanshan sighed.

"What are you sighing about?" Li Yifei, without looking at Xu Shanshan, asked casually.

"I’m talking about you... didn’t you say you wanted to live well with my sister? Why haven’t you even touched her? You know there’s a term for that, called family cold violence. Between a husband and wife, if you never touch your wife, that’s a kind of cold violence. It’s cruel, you know?"

Li Yifei internally wiped his brow. Xu Shanshan sure was good at throwing around heavy accusations. But he understood that in a marriage, while emotions were important, having a harmonious intimate life was crucial. A lack of it could lead to a breakdown between them.

However, things still felt awkward between him and Xu Yingying.

Xu Shanshan continued, "I mean, brother-in-law, if you’re a man, you should do things decisively. If you want to be with my sister, then be with her wholeheartedly. If not, then just break it off cleanly. Stop making it seem like a cold war. Even I’m getting uncomfortable watching it."

Li Yifei gave a wry laugh but found truth in Xu Shanshan’s words. "You’re right, I shouldn’t be like this."

"That’s more like it." Xu Shanshan clapped her hands excitedly, eyes shining. "But I gotta warn you, the soundproofing in our place isn’t great. Whatever you do, I’ll hear some of it. Don’t think you can fool me, and by the way, I’m tasked by mom to oversee you two. This is my right, and if you don’t like it, you can take it up with my mom."

"Should I just do it in front of you then?" Li Yifei asked, half-joking, half-serious.

Xu Shanshan blushed, but she tilted her chin up and said, "If you two are okay with it, I don’t mind."

Li Yifei was instantly defeated, coughing several times. This made Xu Shanshan giggle gleefully. By that time, the car had reached her workplace. She patted Li Yifei’s shoulder, smiling, "Brother-in-law, I’m counting on you. Go for it."

Li Yifei watched his sister-in-law walk with a light step inside, finding himself smiling. Being with this sister-in-law was undoubtedly easy, without the pressure he felt with Xu Yingying. They could even casually talk about things like that.

Back at the company, Li Yifei got out of the car and headed in. Ahead of him was a man in a white shirt and black trousers. As the Human Resources Manager, Li Yifei recognized that this man wasn’t part of the company, as all new hires went through him.

The company had one elevator that people generally avoided using during busy times. But otherwise, it was a common means of going up and down. At this time, Li Yifei entered the elevator with the man.

Li Yifei pressed the button for the fourth floor, while the man pressed for the sixth. The sixth floor housed the offices of General Manager Xu Yingying and Financial Director He Fangqing, as well as the finance department and the office. This man, dressed so impeccably and appearing to be around thirty, seemed like a successful individual. Li Yifei’s instinct told him he was there to see Xu Yingying.
