Chapter 386: Chapter 393 Xu Shanshan’s Conditions

Li Yifei felt that denying it at this point was unnecessary. The main thing was Xu Yingying must not find out, and his sister-in-law Xu Shanshan, who always had a good relationship with him, might be convinced to keep it a secret for him.

Once a man got married, his mindset naturally changed. Before marriage, he needn’t explain who he was with to anyone else, nor fear being discovered. But now it was different; he absolutely had to hide this from his wife.

"Shanshan," Li Yifei put on a flattering smile and said to Xu Shanshan, "Your brother-in-law made a mistake. Could you not tell your sister?"

Xu Shanshan grinned and replied, "How could that be? She’s my own sister, we’re siblings from the same parents. If I help my brother-in-law cover up his infidelity by keeping it from my sister, wouldn’t that be turning my back on family?"

Seeing Xu Shanshan’s attitude, Li Yifei felt reassured. If Xu Shanshan had shown anger, he would have been in more trouble.

"Shanshan, you know your brother-in-law is always good to you, going along with you in everything. This time I made a mistake, I admit. But it doesn’t mean I don’t love your sister anymore. It’s just an unresolved issue from before, and I need some time to handle it."

"Men always seem to have plenty of reasons for their infidelity." Xu Shanshan continued smiling.

Li Yifei gave a dry cough and said, "Shanshan, can we sit on the sofa and talk slowly?"

"Okay!" Xu Shanshan readily agreed.

The two sat on the sofa. Xu Shanshan immediately put her legs on Li Yifei’s lap, lay back on the sofa, and looked at Li Yifei with a smile.

Li Yifei, taking the hint, grasped Xu Shanshan’s foot and gently massaged it. He was about to speak but saw Xu Shanshan’s slightly displeased expression, her gaze shifting towards her own foot. He paused for a moment, then realized what she wanted and quickly took off her socks.

Xu Shanshan smiled contentedly and said, "Go on."

Li Yifei coughed awkwardly, continuing to massage her foot. "Shanshan, I met with Lin Qiong today at noon. You know her, the daughter of your dad’s old comrade."

"Hmm!" Xu Shanshan squinted her eyes, not making clear if she was responding to Li Yifei or just enjoying the massage.

"You’re aware of the case I helped her with before. To deceive those smugglers, we had to get involved."

"I know most of what happened before. Just tell me why you met her again today."

Li Yifei naturally couldn’t disclose Lin Qiong’s request. "We were supposed to discuss business, but considering I’m married to your sister now, it wouldn’t be right to keep it from her. I told her, which upset her a lot. You know how people can act irrationally when they’re angry. That’s how I ended up in this situation."

"Ah, I see. So, you’re saying she forced you?"

Li Yifei nodded eagerly, "Exactly."

"Brother-in-law, you’re so capable. Lin Qiong shouldn’t be able to force you, right? If you didn’t want to, how could it happen? Besides, if a man isn’t willing, that part wouldn’t work, would it?" Xu Shanshan’s face suddenly flushed.

Li Yifei blushed deeply and said awkwardly, "Yes, yes, the main issue is my lack of resolve."

"Alright, seeing you’re sincere in admitting your mistake, I’ll give you a chance."

Li Yifei was overjoyed and said, "Shanshan, you’re the best. If you ever need anything, your brother-in-law will be there without hesitation."

"Be gentle, bad brother-in-law," Xu Shanshan exclaimed, frowning.

Li Yifei realized he had been too enthusiastic and applied too much pressure, so he began massaging more carefully.

Xu Shanshan relaxed her eyebrows and squinted her eyes, saying, "Brother-in-law, earlier you said if I ever need anything, you’d be there, right?"

Li Yifei’s heart skipped a beat. He had really spoken too much and was sure to be caught by Xu Shanshan now. But he had no choice but to brace himself and say, "Yes, you’re Yingying’s sister, which makes you like my sister. We’re family."

"Don’t try to win me over, family is family, money is money, and requests must be made."

Li Yifei conceded, "Alright, alright, Shanshan, go ahead."

Xu Shanshan’s big eyes twinkled mischievously as she said, "You’ve got to give me a foot massage every day."

"No problem, I already do that for you every day, don’t I?"

"That’s different. I want you to do it in front of my sister."

"What?" Li Yifei’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at Xu Shanshan.

Xu Shanshan pouted prettily, "This way, when you massage my feet, it feels like we’re having an affair, so awkward. Find a way for my sister to see you massaging my feet and not react, and I’ll agree to keep your secret."

Li Yifei felt that this was truly a daunting challenge, complaining, "Shanshan, isn’t that too difficult?"

"You’re my brother-in-law, so you have to figure it out. That’s my only condition. If you can’t agree, then all bets are off."

Li Yifei was speechless for a moment but suddenly got an idea. He grinned and said, "Alright, consider it done."

Xu Shanshan sat up excitedly and said, "You really have a way?"

"I have a way, but why are you so excited?"

Xu Shanshan blinked her big eyes and giggled, "That means you’ll massage my feet daily. You know us dancers, our feet are the most worn-out every day." Then she lay back on the sofa, squinting contentedly, "This is so comfortable."

No matter how hard Li Yifei tried, he couldn’t quite understand Xu Shanshan’s reaction. But given his uncertainty about her real intentions, he decided to play dumb and said, "But you’ll have to cooperate with me when the time comes."

"Sure, I’ll do whatever you say." Xu Shanshan readily agreed.

Li Yifei immediately explained his plan, and Xu Shanshan listened with great interest, finally bursting into laughter and said, "Brother-in-law, this trick is just like how I fooled you into marriage!"

"Well, I learned it from you," Li Yifei replied with a wry smile.

"Hehe, it seems I’m still a bit smarter than my brother-in-law."

"By the way, Shanshan, why did you come home?" Li Yifei changed the topic.

"The school is conducting some survey and needs an ID card. I didn’t bring mine, so I came back to get it."

"Isn’t it about time for you to head back?"

"Oh, you’re right." Xu Shanshan quickly drew back her feet and jumped up to put on her shoes.

"You haven’t put on your socks yet," Li Yifei reminded.

"Hurry, toss them to me," Xu Shanshan demanded from the door.

Li Yifei picked up Xu Shanshan’s socks and walked over. Holding his sister-in-law’s socks had a certain ambiguous feel, but after massaging her feet so often, this wasn’t a big deal.

Xu Shanshan efficiently slipped on her socks, while Li Yifei said, "Alright, don’t rush, I’ll give you a ride. We should make it in time."

"Oh, I forgot about that," Xu Shanshan said, slowing down with a sweet smile at Li Yifei.

Once Li Yifei had his shoes on, they left the house. Xu Shanshan immediately linked arms with him, appearing even closer than Xu Yingying did with him. Li Yifei, somewhat used to it, let her hold on as they walked.

"Brother-in-law, make sure you act on your plan quickly," Xu Shanshan reminded him in the elevator.

"Sure, how could I not?"

"Hehe, I’m not threatening you, just joking. You don’t mind, do you?" Xu Shanshan sweetly pleaded while shaking his arm.

"Haha, of course, I don’t mind. You’re my sister-in-law. It’s normal to tease your brother-in-law. Besides, I really owe your sister an apology."

"Hmm, hmm, it’s still something to note. Now that you’re with my sister, you should cut ties with those other women. If you let things drag on, you’ll only get more entangled, and eventually my sister will find out, then you’ll be in big trouble."

"Shanshan, aren’t you being disloyal to the family?"

"You’re my brother-in-law; it’s just like being close to my sister."

Li Yifei dropped Xu Shanshan off at the school gate. Just as a car arrived at the school entrance—a Mercedes as well—Xu Shanshan got out. The other car stopped, and its window rolled down to reveal the face of Wang Jiuzhe’s son, Wang Libang, who was now the principal overseeing the whole art school.

"Hello, Principal Wang!" Xu Shanshan greeted warmly.

Wang Libang got out of the car and said to Xu Shanshan, "Hello, Teacher Xu. Where are you coming from?"

"I just went home to get something."

"Oh, well, it’s almost class time. Let’s head in."

"Alright!" Xu Shanshan agreed before waving to Li Yifei and walking into the school with Wang Libang.

Li Yifei had seen this Wang Libang on Saturday night at the party. He seemed like a capable person, stable, and able to keep a poker face—definitely someone who could handle big responsibilities.

However, if such a person planned to do something wrong, it would be difficult to guard against. Seeing Xu Shanshan with him made Li Yifei slightly worried.

Yet, Li Yifei didn’t worry that Wang Libang would do anything to Xu Shanshan right away. After all, Wang Libang wasn’t a thug, and doing something reckless would affect his reputation. To subtly lure someone in, he would likely maintain a gentlemanly demeanor. At least for a short time, he wouldn’t harm Xu Shanshan.

Of course, Li Yifei might be worrying unnecessarily. With a film company in his family, if Wang Libang wanted to pursue stars, it wouldn’t be difficult. He might not have any thoughts about Xu Shanshan at all.
