Chapter 362: Chapter 369 Xu Shanshan Excited

Li Yifei knew that Ye Yunzhu was a very strong woman. Even if she was hurt, she would never do anything foolish. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let Ye Yunzhu leave; at the very least, he would have taken her home.

Actually, even if Ye Yunzhu calmed down, Li Yifei still didn’t know what to talk about with her. Saying, "We can still be friends in the future"? That’s just a joke. After hurting Ye Yunzhu so deeply, could everything be resolved with just a single line of jokes?

With a sigh, Li Yifei finally gave up. Perhaps he was simply destined not to be with Ye Yunzhu. It was like this in high school and still the same now. It was just fate playing its tricks.

Li Yifei lit a cigarette and returned to the company.

After two knocks on the door, Michelle walked in, still wearing her sweet smile, and said, "Brother Li, our logistics department needs two more people."

Li Yifei gestured for Michelle to sit down and said, "Any requirements?"

"These are the job requirements." Michelle handed two sheets of paper to Li Yifei. After a quick look, Li Yifei said, "All right, I’ll go to the job market later. It’s just as well since other departments are also short of a few people. I’ll recruit them all at once."

"Okay!" After discussing work, Michelle didn’t seem inclined to leave. After a brief hesitation, she asked, "Brother Li, how’s President Xu’s mother doing?"

Li Yifei replied, "She’s fine. It was a misdiagnosis, a false alarm."

"That’s great news." Michelle exclaimed happily.

"Yes, it was quite scary."

Michelle paused for a moment, pursed her lips, and asked, "And you and President Xu..."

Li Yifei felt the passionate gaze from Michelle. Perhaps this girl thought that now that Xu Yingying’s mother was not ill, his marriage with Xu Yingying could be dissolved, giving her another chance.

"Michelle, Yingying and I are still together, and we will continue to be together."

Michelle’s face turned pale, but she quickly forced a smile and said, "That’s great. Only an outstanding woman like President Xu is worthy of Brother Li. I wish you both well."

Li Yifei smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Michelle."

"Don’t worry, I won’t be too sad. President Xu is so exceptional; how could I compare to her? Seeing you two together, I’m happy for you, Brother Li. But you shouldn’t avoid me in the future, okay? We are still good friends."

Although Michelle spoke lightly, Li Yifei couldn’t help but sense a hint of bitterness on her face. Love can really be hurtful.

"To friendship!"

In a private room at Yiyun Clubhouse, Li Yifei was dining with Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan, a pair of twins. The newly-married couple, Li Yifei and Xu Yingying, hadn’t even had much to say when the sister-in-law, Xu Shanshan, was already toasting excitedly.

After talking with Li Yifei, Xu Yingying wasn’t resentful of Xu Shanshan. Instead, she was grateful for her mischievous sister. Xu Shanshan was so loud that Xu Yingying didn’t reprimand her like she usually would; instead, she said teasingly, "All right, we haven’t even eaten much of the food, and you keep toasting. Won’t you get drunk soon?"

Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "Getting drunk can add to the romance when you two go home later."

Xu Yingying’s face flushed instantly. Even though she had already had such a relationship with Li Yifei, it was just their first day together. How could a girl like her not feel embarrassed to talk about it? She gave Xu Shanshan a playful scolding, "What nonsense are you talking about?" But she subconsciously glanced at Li Yifei, catching his amused look. This made Xu Yingying feel even more flustered. She secretly pinched Li Yifei.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but laugh at Xu Yingying’s reaction. The reason he used to keep his distance from Xu Yingying was that he thought President Xu lacked a womanly touch. Now, he realized that Xu Yingying had plenty of femininity; it just hadn’t been brought out before.

"You’re still laughing?" Xu Yingying asked, even more embarrassed, as she glared at Li Yifei. But with Li Yifei’s thick skin, he didn’t take it to heart.

"Brother-in-law, aren’t you thankful to me now?" Xu Shanshan asked with a mischievous smile.

Li Yifei laughed and said, "Yes, I really should thank Shanshan. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gotten together with your sister. I’ll toast to you."

Xu Shanshan clinked her glass with Li Yifei’s and downed her beer in one gulp, teasing, "Just one toast?"

"What more could you want?" Li Yifei asked with a playful smile.

"Well..." Xu Shanshan touched her chin and said, "If I asked you for money, that’d be too boring. After all, you have money, so I wouldn’t lose out."

Xu Yingying immediately glared and said, "You earn your own money. Why are you always thinking about ours?"

Xu Shanshan seemed to ignore Xu Yingying and continued, "If I asked for something else, you’d give it to me even if you weren’t grateful."

"Wishful thinking," Xu Yingying remarked, but Xu Shanshan still pretended not to hear.

Xu Yingying felt a bit frustrated, but she didn’t bother arguing. This younger sister of hers always used her stuff as if it were her own, without any hesitation. As her older sister, how could Xu Yingying really mind? Occasionally scolding Xu Shanshan was just to encourage her to work harder, but it never seemed to have much effect.

"Brother-in-law, have you read ’The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber’?"

Li Yifei nodded and said, "I haven’t read the book, but I’ve watched the TV series."

"That’s fine. Do you remember Zhao Min helping Zhang Wuji and asking him to promise her three things?"

Li Yifei barely managed to hold back a smile and replied, "Are you going to make me promise you three things?"

Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "I do want you to promise me three things. What do you think?"

Xu Yingying hurried to interject, "You can’t agree to her. This girl is sneaky and will surely make you do something difficult."

Xu Shanshan immediately protested, "Sister, I’ve helped you and haven’t asked you for anything. I only mentioned this condition to Brother-in-law. And I’m not a bad person. I wouldn’t make him do anything illegal, so why are you so scared?"

With a tug on Xu Yingying’s arm, Li Yifei smiled and said, "Okay, Brother-in-law agrees. But I’m not as stingy as Zhang Wuji. As long as you can make your requests, I’ll fulfill them."

Xu Shanshan exclaimed excitedly, "I knew Brother-in-law was the best, not stingy like my sister. Come on, Brother-in-law, cheers!"

Li Yifei clinked glasses with Xu Shanshan and quickly finished his drink.

Xu Yingying, knowing her sister far better than Li Yifei, realized that agreeing to Xu Shanshan’s three requests would surely lead to her sister causing all sorts of trouble. But she couldn’t stop them, as her sister and her husband both had a stake. Besides, seeing how fond Li Yifei was of Xu Shanshan, she was in a pretty good mood.

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan drank quite a bit of alcohol, while Xu Yingying only had two drinks at the start and then stopped. One of them needed to drive home, so she had to stay sober.

"Brother-in-law!" Xu Shanshan didn’t know how much she’d drunk by then, her eyes already looking dazed, and she said, "I’m really happy right now, really happy."

Li Yifei’s expression changed slightly because there was a foot suddenly resting on the top of his foot. Without a doubt, it was Xu Shanshan’s. It wouldn’t have mattered if Xu Yingying weren’t there, but Xu Yingying was sitting right beside him. Yet, this sister-in-law dared to rest her foot on his foot, which startled Li Yifei for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled, saying, "What’s making you so happy?"

Xu Shanshan wasn’t wearing shoes, putting her barefoot on Li Yifei’s shoe. It was uncomfortable, so she raised her foot, and it slipped into the leg of Li Yifei’s pant and rubbed against his calf. With a mischievous grin, she said, "Seeing you and my sister getting along so well makes me happy. You know, you’re the best man I, Xu Shanshan, have ever had eyes for, so I can’t let you go; you must stay with my sister."

Xu Yingying felt overjoyed by such words and was grateful to her sister. Xu Shanshan had gone to great lengths to help her and Li Yifei get together. If the roles were reversed, and Xu Shanshan were to meet a guy she liked but who didn’t have much interest, Xu Yingying wouldn’t have helped like Xu Shanshan did.

Little did Xu Yingying know that her admirable sister currently had her small foot under the pants leg of her husband.

Li Yifei hadn’t expected Xu Shanshan to be so bold. He wanted to withdraw his leg but couldn’t bring himself to do it. Besides, he suspected that Xu Shanshan might just be teasing him; otherwise, she wouldn’t help him and Xu Yingying be together. If Xu Shanshan really had romantic feelings for him, she wouldn’t have done anything to assist Xu Yingying.

Thus, Li Yifei simply let Xu Shanshan fool around, jokingly saying, "Thank you, Shanshan, for valuing me so much."

"Hehe, I have my own selfish motives too. Having a brother-in-law like you means that if anyone ever bullies me, I can go to my brother-in-law for help, right?"

"Of course, Shanshan’s requests are those I’ll naturally fulfill, being your brother-in-law. But you should count this as part of your three requests."

"No way, no way! This is what a brother-in-law is supposed to do. Wouldn’t you, as the brother-in-law, help your sister-in-law?"

Xu Shanshan pouted and wiggled, being playful like a mischievous little girl. Her foot extended further upward, slipping into the leg of Li Yifei’s pants.

Li Yifei found it hard to handle that. Xu Shanshan’s small feet were a feature of hers that Li Yifei had always appreciated. But now, under Xu Yingying’s nose, silently slipping them into his pant leg, gave him a shockingly delightful feeling. If it weren’t for his excellent self-control, he might have lost composure.
