Chapter 392: Chapter 399 Almost There

Li Yifei carried Su Mengxin to the building’s entrance, where a man immediately emerged from a hidden spot and handed Li Yifei a set of keys.

Li Yifei knew this was Su Mengxin’s bodyguard. Given that Su Mengxin lived here, the bodyguards likely occupied the units above and below as well, which was truly quite extravagant.

After taking the keys, the bodyguard promptly vanished back into the darkness, and Li Yifei carried Su Mengxin straight into the elevator.

Xu Yingying’s building also had three apartments per floor, with her unit in the middle and Su Mengxin’s to the left. Li Yifei used the keys to open the apartment door and turned on the lights to find all-new furniture inside, surely all recently purchased. The efficiency was astonishing; indeed, money makes things happen.

Seeing Su Mengxin sleeping soundly, Li Yifei didn’t call out to her and simply carried her into the bedroom, where he carefully placed her onto the bed.

As Su Mengxin lay on the bed, she didn’t release her arms, so Li Yifei gently pried her hands away.

Just as he stood up and was about to leave, he hesitated, went back to remove Su Mengxin’s shoes but didn’t proceed to take off her clothes and change her into pajamas, as that would’ve been inappropriate.

The air conditioning in Su Mengxin’s apartment was off, making the room a bit warm, so Li Yifei turned it on and set it to a comfortable temperature. Then he pulled up the covers over Su Mengxin, retreated slowly, and turned off the lights as he left.

The sound of the anti-theft door closing woke Su Mengxin, who opened her eyes with a dreamy charm, turned over softly, closed her eyes again, and hugged another pillow—like she was embracing Li Yifei—her face breaking into a sweet smile.

Li Yifei returned home to find Xu Yingying still awake, who immediately furrowed her brows and said, "Why are you back so late?"

Li Yifei shrugged his shoulders and replied, "After dinner, we went to sing karaoke. Everyone was having a good time, so it got late."

"You really shouldn’t, especially with Boss Su. Going out to such complicated places at night."

"Haha, everyone was enjoying themselves, and I couldn’t dampen their spirits."

Xu Yingying understood that it was a way for leaders and staff to bond, but with Su Mengxin present, she couldn’t help but worry, "You made sure Boss Su got home safely, right?"

"Safe and sound. Oh, I accidentally took the keys with me; I should return them to her."

"It’s so late, and you’re going back again?"

"She’s right next door."

"What?" Xu Yingying exclaimed in surprise.

"Didn’t you know she’s already moved in next to us? And that girl Meng Xiaofei. One to the left and one to the right, they’ve both become my neighbors."

Xu Yingying’s eyes widened as she took a while to respond, "I had no idea."

"Now our home has two more freeloaders. Never mind; I’ll return it tomorrow morning. Let’s go to bed," said Li Yifei as he put his arm around Xu Yingying’s shoulder, reaching down to her chest.

Even though they had been married for a few days, Xu Yingying still blushed at such intimate touches outside of bed and quickly pulled Li Yifei’s hand away. Anxiously glancing at Xu Shanshan’s room, she said, "Stop it. Shanshan has just gone back to her room. You reek of alcohol; go take a shower."

"What’s there to be shy about? You are my wife, and I am your husband," Li Yifei reached for her again.

"No way!" Xu Yingying pushed Li Yifei away like a thief and quickly ran back to the bedroom.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile. Xu Yingying, a woman who appeared so composed, was quite shy in this aspect. But he quite liked it; if she couldn’t relax with her own husband, naturally she would be even more reserved with other men.

After a quick shower, Li Yifei returned to the bedroom wearing only his underwear.

Xu Yingying’s face flushed, then she chastised, "You should be more careful. Shanshan is still here. What if she came out and saw you? How embarrassing."

Li Yifei really wanted to say that if Xu Shanshan did see him like this, she probably wouldn’t be embarrassed at all, as she was quite uninhibited with him. But, of course, he couldn’t say that out loud. As he got into bed, he said, "I’ll be more careful next time."

After embracing Xu Yingying, Li Yifei’s hand slipped inside her sleepwear and cupped her breast. This time, Xu Yingying did not stop him but stayed in his arms, somewhat shyly whispering, "Don’t mess around."

"I know, I’ll be the one feeling uncomfortable later," Li Yifei really didn’t dare to go too far. Xu Yingying was having her period these days, and it would be really uncomfortable if he got aroused and couldn’t proceed.

Previously, when with other women, there were other ways for Li Yifei to release his desires. But Xu Yingying was too shy even for the most basic positions and definitely wouldn’t entertain the thought of doing anything else, so Li Yifei didn’t want to put himself through that discomfort.

The next morning, while Li Yifei was preparing something in the kitchen, Xu Yingying had already finished washing up and was applying makeup in the bedroom. Although she was already beautiful enough, as the boss of a company, maintaining her image was crucial, so a bit of light makeup was still necessary.

At that moment, Xu Shanshan yawned as she entered the kitchen and kicked Li Yifei.

"What’s wrong with you? Why so listless?" Li Yifei looked at Xu Shanshan with curiosity.

Xu Shanshan said angrily, "Who let you come back so late last night?"

Li Yifei laughed, "Your sister didn’t blame me, but you’re blaming me instead."

"My sister is my sister, I am me. Anyway, it’s fine as long as you come back late. Come back earlier in the future, and do something serious for a change. Because of you, I didn’t sleep well all night."

"What do you mean by doing something serious? And how did I prevent you from sleeping?" Li Yifei was very surprised, not understanding what Xu Shanshan meant by that.

Xu Shanshan’s face suddenly flushed with a wave of redness. She coughed lightly, as if trying to hide something, then gave Li Yifei a glance and said, "And you say it. I was waiting for you to come back to give a foot massage yesterday. You just wouldn’t come back. Plus, when exactly are you going to implement the method you talked about?"

"Alright, alright, we’ll implement it tonight. With that, it’s settled, right?" Li Yifei felt that Xu Shanshan had been complaining about him first thing in the morning, and it seemed like it was not just about this matter—in fact, it was supposed to be Xu Shanshan who took the first step, wasn’t it?

Xu Shanshan immediately nodded, "Then let’s start tonight."

"What are you two whispering about over there?" Xu Yingying came out and asked as she saw Xu Shanshan standing next to Li Yifei, speaking softly.

Xu Shanshan instantly turned around with a giggly smile and said, "I was checking out what my brother-in-law is cooking."

"Not even combing your hair or washing your face, and you’re already thinking about eating. Go get ready quickly."

Xu Shanshan tugged at her own hair, tilted her head, and asked Li Yifei, "Brother-in-law, do I look ugly like this?"

Li Yifei scrutinized Xu Shanshan from head to toe. Although she hadn’t combed her hair or washed her face and her hair was somewhat messy, her natural beauty couldn’t be concealed. He smiled and said, "Our Shanshan would look good no matter what."

Xu Shanshan immediately burst into a happy smile, turned her head, and made a face at Xu Yingying, "See, brother-in-law said I look pretty."

Xu Yingying glared at her sister and said, "Boss Su will come for breakfast soon. How can you be like this? Hurry and get ready."

"Boss Su is just Boss Su. She’s your Boss Su, not mine. Besides, this is our home, is it not? Do I have to watch her mood?"

"So much nonsense, are you going or not?" Xu Yingying’s eyes widened.

"Fine, I’ll go. It’s only you who always snaps at me. My brother-in-law would never do that." Grumbling, Xu Shanshan finally ran into the bathroom.

Xu Yingying stood next to Li Yifei and said, "You shouldn’t spoil Shanshan so much. If you give this girl an inch, she’ll take a mile, warm her up a bit, and she’ll make herself right at home."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "You can be tough on her, but I’m her brother-in-law. How can I say anything to her? We’re all family; a little spoiling won’t hurt."

Xu Yingying also knew that Li Yifei spoke the truth. She hadn’t been able to control her for so many years, and as a brother-in-law, Li Yifei would definitely end up being bossed around by Xu Shanshan.

There was a knock on the door, and Xu Yingying quickly went to open it. Su Mengxin then said brightly, "Yingying, I came over for a meal."

Xu Yingying hurriedly said with a smile, "Boss Su, you’re too polite. Please come in."

Su Mengxin smiled and said, "Yingying, at home, you still call me this. I will feel uneasy coming over to your place in the future. Just call me by my name."

After a brief hesitation, Xu Yingying genially replied, "Then I’ll call you Mengxin from now on."

"Great, now I can really feel at ease, like I’m at a friend’s home without any reservations."

"I feel more relaxed too. Please have a seat, we’ll be able to eat in a bit."

At this moment, Xu Shanshan finished washing and came out. She greeted Su Mengxin and then ran into the kitchen.

"Brother-in-law, why do I feel like that Su Mengxin is interested in you?" Xu Shanshan asked softly, standing next to Li Yifei.

"Stop it. Even if you think your brother-in-law is great, in her eyes, your brother-in-law is nothing. What intentions could she possibly have?"

"But she’s a woman, always cozying up to you for no reason, and she always has that smile when she looks at you, clearly up to no good."

Li Yifei tapped Xu Shanshan’s head lightly and said with a smile, "You silly girl, even your sister isn’t keeping such a close eye on me, yet here you are, watching me so closely. Am I your sister’s husband, or your husband?"

"It’s pretty much the same." Xu Shanshan rubbed her head with a mischievous smile.

Li Yifei’s face darkened. Such a thing could hardly be considered ’pretty much the same’, but it was just like Xu Shanshan to say something so outrageous.
