Chapter 399: Chapter 406: Stealing Leisure from a Busy Schedule

Li Yifei got home before ten o’clock, and it was Xu Shanshan who opened the door, who immediately exclaimed with a surprised face, "Brother-in-law, weren’t you not coming home tonight?"

Li Yifei chuckled, "Staying out late is one thing, not coming home at night is hardly the mark of a good man."

Xu Shanshan let out a surprised "Ah" and exclaimed, "Ah, you’re not going to give me a foot massage today, are you?"

Li Yifei had actually forgotten all about that, and Xu Shanshan’s exaggerated cry both made him laugh and feel helpless. She was clearly reminding him to massage her feet with that scared expression, obviously putting on a show for Xu Yingying to see.

By that time, Xu Yingying had already come out, and there was also a look of surprise on her face upon Li Yifei’s return. She had created this opportunity for Li Yifei and He Fangqing, and she hadn’t intended for Li Yifei to come back tonight. However, she was too shy to show that in front of her sister and instead gave Xu Shanshan a stern look, saying, "What’s all the shouting for? Your brother-in-law is doing this for your own good. You act like it’s some kind of torture every single day."

Xu Shanshan pouted, feeling wronged as she said, "I know, I know. I’m going to soak my feet right now, isn’t that enough?"

Li Yifei watched as Xu Shanshan scurried off to the bathroom, not looking the least bit aggrieved, clearly eager for the massage. He couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Xu Yingying sat down with Li Yifei on the living room sofa, her face beaming with joy that she couldn’t hide, and asked, "How come you came back?"

"Isn’t this my home? As a husband, how can I not come back at night to be with my wife?" Li Yifei said as he gently wrapped his arm around Xu Yingying’s shoulders.

Xu Yingying leaned her head on Li Yifei’s shoulder. She had felt a bit sour about the idea of Li Yifei doing ’that’ sort of thing with Sister Fangqing, but now the feeling had completely dissipated. She whispered, "You really are a good husband."

"With a good wife like you, how could I not be a good husband?" he replied.

Xu Yingying turned her head and gave Li Yifei a light kiss on the face, saying, "Not bad, here’s a reward for you."

Li Yifei laughed heartily and turned to kiss Xu Yingying back, but she pushed him away playfully and chided, "Stop it, Shanshan is about to come out."

"Hee hee, shall I wash a bit longer then? You two warm up enough, and I’ll come out after?" Xu Shanshan had already come out by then, looking at the two of them with a grin.

Xu Yingying suddenly felt quite awkward, quickly standing up and urging, "Hurry over here."

Xu Shanshan stuck out her tongue and said, "What’s there to be shy about? You are brother-in-law’s wife, isn’t it right for brother-in-law to kiss you? Besides, didn’t you two do everything last night?"

Xu Yingying was even more embarrassed. But living under the same roof with her sister, how could Xu Shanshan not know their situation? Xu Yingying just didn’t respond and said instead, "Hurry over for the massage. Do I need to supervise you?"

"No need, I can’t escape anyway." Xu Shanshan pouted and slowly laid down on the lounge chair.

"Husband, I’m sorry for making you work hard again," Xu Yingying said, squeezing Li Yifei’s hand apologetically.

Li Yifei smiled lightly and said, "It’s okay, Shanshan is my sister too."

Sitting at the foot of the lounge chair, Li Yifei took hold of Xu Shanshan’s left foot and applied a bit of pressure. She immediately let out an extravagant yell.

Xu Yingying glared immediately and said, "Your brother-in-law massaged me last night too, and it wasn’t this painful."

"Your feet didn’t have any problems, of course it wouldn’t hurt as much. These are my feet okay?" Xu Shanshan retorted with an annoyed look at her sister and then clenched her teeth, as if enduring intense pain.

Li Yifei found it amusing, as today he hadn’t applied nearly as much pressure as he had the day before; Xu Shanshan shouldn’t have been in that much pain. She was really acting quite convincingly.

Of course, he couldn’t call out Xu Shanshan, so he just held her foot gently and began to massage it, with Xu Yingying watching on the side. Images of Li Yifei massaging her the previous day flashed through her mind, causing her face to blush slightly.

She could see that Li Yifei was genuinely massaging Xu Shanshan, not teasing her like he did yesterday, so she didn’t think there was anything inappropriate about him massaging Xu Shanshan’s feet.

Xu Yingying had finished her work for the day and decided to sit there with Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan. Though well-intentioned, Xu Shanshan was a bit anxious. With Xu Yingying there, how could Shanshan let Li Yifei massage her feet the way she liked? Sure, the massage felt nice, but she loved the sensation of Li Yifei’s palm gently stroking her feet even more.

"Sister, since I’ve already let my brother-in-law massage me, why are you still sitting here watching?"

Xu Yingying casually turned on the TV and said, "Watching you? I thought I’d watch TV today and keep you company."

Xu Shanshan quickly asked, "Have you finished all the work at your company?"

"Company work is never truly finished. Some things can just as well be done tomorrow."

"Huh, big sis, when did you learn to slack off? This isn’t like you at all."

"Heh... Before, I put work first, but now that I’m married, of course, I have to spend time with your brother-in-law. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be an unqualified wife and let down your help for me and your brother-in-law?"

Xu Shanshan rolled her eyes. It looked like Xu Yingying wasn’t planning to leave today, so she wouldn’t get to enjoy that wonderful feeling.

"Sis, I fancy an apple. Could you wash one for me?"

"Aren’t there some in the fruit bowl?"

"The ones out here have been sitting too long, they’re not cool anymore. I want one from the fridge."

Xu Yingying immediately got up to fetch the apple. Such requests from her sister were pretty normal, and she never suspected that there might be a little scheme behind it.

As Xu Yingying turned her back and walked to the kitchen, Xu Shanshan twisted her foot slightly and gave Li Yifei a knowing look.

Li Yifei got the hint, though he was caught between laughter and tears. Xu Shanshan was clearly demanding special attention from him, and he knew he couldn’t escape. He had no choice but to caress and rub Xu Shanshan’s foot.

Xu Shanshan immediately squinted her eyes in pleasure and a blissful expression washed over her face.

But before she could enjoy it for even ten seconds, Xu Yingying returned with an apple. Li Yifei promptly resumed his serious massage, only to start playing with Xu Shanshan’s foot again when Xu Yingying turned back to wash the apple in the sink.

Xu Shanshan was quite pleased with Li Yifei’s performance. She gently squeezed his finger with her toes, and although she said nothing, the happiness was unmistakable on her face.

"Here you go! Honey, this one’s for you." Xu Yingying handed a washed apple each to Xu Shanshan and Li Yifei, but her tone differed noticeably between them—indifferent to her sister, yet tender to her husband.

Xu Shanshan took the apple and pouted, "It’s true, women always favor outsiders. Once married, the treatment towards little sisters and husbands is just not the same."

Xu Yingying was somewhat accustomed to her sister’s teasing and replied, "You’ll understand when you get married. Honey, I’ll feed you. You’re massaging this girl’s stinky feet; you shouldn’t touch the apple."

Xu Shanshan retorted with a curl of her lip, "My feet don’t stink at all, right, brother-in-law?"

Li Yifei took a bite of the apple Xu Yingying offered and said with a smile, "Right, Shanshan’s feet aren’t just free of stink, they’re quite fragrant actually."

Xu Shanshan immediately boasted, "See, even my brother-in-law says so."

"Hmph, your brother-in-law is just humoring you. You really take it to heart, huh? You’ve got some thick skin there," Xu Yingying teased.

With a giggle, Xu Shanshan replied, "As long as brother-in-law doesn’t mind."

While talking, Xu Shanshan’s gaze at Li Yifei suddenly became somewhat misty, with a hint of excitement, which made Li Yifei feel a trace of unease. This girl always had some cunning plan in mind, he was sure, and it definitely involved him.

Xu Yingying stayed with Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan, which annoyed Xu Shanshan quite a bit. She could only contrive a few excuses to send Xu Yingying away and secretly relish that delightful sensation for a little while.

But Xu Yingying had indeed changed nowadays, no longer the workaholic she once was. Today, she was determined to keep her husband company, so even when she was sent away, she quickly returned. Taking care of Li Yifei wasn’t a chore for her; instead, she found it enjoyable. Looking after her beloved and seeing his happy smile filled her with unmatched joy.

After massaging Xu Shanshan’s feet, the three of them watched a bit of television and chatted for a while, then Li Yifei went to take a shower and prepare for bed.

As soon as they were in bed, Xu Yingying snuggled up to him and whispered, "Honey, did you enjoy today?"

Li Yifei chuckled dryly and hugged Xu Yingying, saying, "Thank you."

"As long as you’re happy, I’m happy too. But thinking about it does give me a bit of heartache. I knew before that you and Sister Fangqing... well, but I didn’t know what it was like. Now that I do, when I think of you getting naughty with Sister Fangqing, I just... get anxious."

Li Yifei chuckled again, at a loss for words. This was indeed unfamiliar territory for him.

"Honey, did you... did you use protection with her?"

"No..." Li Yifei was even more embarrassed now.

"What if Sister Fangqing gets pregnant then?"

"Fangqing has an IUD; she won’t get pregnant."

"Oh, but she hasn’t had any kids yet, so why would she use an IUD?"

"Fangqing didn’t plan on having children when she got married, so she got it. When they’re ready for kids, they can just remove it."

"Then... should I get an IUD too? I don’t feel comfortable when you... when you wear a condom," Xu Yingying confessed, her face flushing red. This was the first time she had discussed such intimate matters with Li Yifei.

Li Yifei shook his head, "That won’t work. An IUD is for those planning not to have kids for an extended period, at least a couple of years. We might want kids soon, and it would be a hassle to remove it later."

"Oh... then I won’t get one," Xu Yingying said, now the very image of an obedient wife, with none of the domineering air of a CEO.
