Chapter 401: Chapter 408 Getting More and More Outrageous

In the absence of Xu Yingying, Su Mengxin resumed her role as Li Yifei’s little secretary, attending to him with utmost care. The dull and monotonous work that Li Yifei once found tedious now seemed to have gained some flavor. At least time seemed to pass swiftly, and before he knew it, the workday was over.

During dinner, the household acquired an additional foodie, Meng Xiaofei. Her belongings had been moved here, and Su Mengxin had already informed her. This girl had a straightforward personality; although she was deeply grateful, she quickly brushed it aside and spoke to Su Mengxin as if nothing had happened.

No one seemed to mind Meng Xiaofei’s demeanor; instead, they found her endearing and easy to get along with.

"Brother-in-law, did you know that Qin Handong, whom you beat up last time, still wants to seek revenge on you?" Xu Shanshan asked Li Yifei during dinner.

Xu Yingying’s face immediately changed. She asked urgently, "What does he intend to do?"

Su Mengxin continued eating gracefully, but her gaze flickered to Li Yifei with a faint smile.

Meng Xiaofei immediately retorted, "Who dares to provoke Brother Li? Brother Li should just pummel him!" Meng Xiaofei, who was direct to a fault, regarded Li Yifei as a genuinely good person. Anyone causing trouble for Li Yifei was instantly classified as a bad person in her book.

Xu Shanshan chuckled and said, "It’s nothing much. Our school principal found out about it and directly warned Qin Handong not to stir up trouble here, leaving Qin Handong to slink away dejectedly."

Li Yifei furrowed his brows and asked, "Are you still close with that Wang Libang?"

Xu Yingying, feeling reassured, became curious about Wang Libang and asked, "Who is this Wang Libang?"

Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "Let Brother-in-law tell you. He knows him too."

Xu Yingying immediately shifted her attention to Li Yifei. Li Yifei then replied, "Wang Libang is the principal of Shanshan’s school, around thirty years old. He looks decent and comes from a good background. His father, Wang Jiuzhe, is a local tycoon with billions and also owns a film and entertainment company."

"His conditions aren’t bad at all," Xu Yingying said with a hint of excitement.

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "But I’m not optimistic about Wang Libang. He’s too deep, too scheming. Shanshan is naturally playful; if they got together, I worry she’d suffer."

"Really? I think a man being deep shows sophistication and maturity," Xu Yingying said, frowning slightly, disagreeing with Li Yifei’s perspective.

Li Yifei remained steadfast in his opinion, stating, "Maturity in a person shows through action, but they must also be genuine. Wang Libang doesn’t let people see his true nature, which can be frightening. You’ll never know what he’s thinking. How could Shanshan, with her straightforward personality, endure that?"

Xu Shanshan clapped her hands and said, "Brother-in-law does know me well, I don’t like Wang Libang."

Xu Yingying glanced reproachfully at both of them, saying, "Does it mean I, as your sister, understand you less than your brother-in-law?"

Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "Though you both mean well for me, your approach is different. Sister, now that you’re married, you’re like Mom, eager to see me married off. Brother-in-law, on the other hand, is focused solely on what’s best for me."

Su Mengxin chimed in, "I think Yifei is right. Such a man isn’t suitable for Shanshan."

Xu Yingying conceded, "Alright, alright. Since you’re all saying this, I won’t think much of it. But Shanshan, if you have no feelings for Wang Libang, keep your distance to avoid misunderstandings."

"I know. He invited me to dinner, but I didn’t accept it. With Brother-in-law cooking such delicious food at home, why go out?"

Meng Xiaofei excitedly nodded in agreement, her mouth full of food, mumbling, "Yes, yes, Brother Li’s cooking is delicious."

Everyone laughed seeing Meng Xiaofei like this, and she quickly swallowed her food, sticking her tongue out and saying, "Don’t laugh at me, I’m just a foodie."

Everyone paused, then laughed until their stomachs hurt.

"By the way, Brother Li, since you’ve married Sister Yingying, what about Yiyi?" Meng Xiaofei suddenly asked, drawing everyone’s gaze to Li Yifei.

Realizing her faux pas, Meng Xiaofei hurriedly said, "I spoke nonsense, Sister Yingying, don’t mind me. Yiyi... is a guy..."

"Pfft..." Despite the initial awkwardness due to Meng Xiaofei’s sudden question, her last comment dispelled the tension, prompting another bout of laughter.

Not wanting to embarrass Li Yifei, Xu Yingying suppressed her laughter and said, "I know about Yiyi and my brother-in-law, so no need to cover it up."

Meng Xiaofei’s eyes widened in surprise, saying, "So you know too? That’s a relief," patting her chest and sticking her tongue out at Li Yifei.

However, after dinner, Meng Xiaofei quietly approached Li Yifei and whispered, "Brother Li, I saw Yiyi when I went back to my old house today."

Li Yifei nodded, "I left the house for her. She often goes back."

"But Yiyi is so nice, why don’t you marry her? Not that Sister Yingying isn’t good, but it’s unfair to Yiyi."

Patting Meng Xiaofei’s shoulder, Li Yifei replied, "I’ll sort it out. Yiyi is wonderful, and I certainly won’t hurt her."

"So, are you thinking of making Yiyi your mistress?" Meng Xiaofei gasped loudly, raising her voice.

The sound reached Xu Yingying and the others in the living room, but none of them seemed to have heard, not glancing toward the kitchen.

Realizing her volume, Meng Xiaofei nervously glanced toward the living room. Seeing no reaction, she thought they hadn’t heard and continued watching Li Yifei, waiting for his answer.

Li Yifei, feeling a bit awkward, said, "Xiaofei, I’m not toying with Yiyi’s emotions. I genuinely love her. There are special reasons behind my marriage to Yingying, and I need time to manage their relationship."

"Oh..." Meng Xiaofei, with a simple mind, half-understood and half-didn’t, said, "Anyway, I really like Yiyi and don’t want her to be hurt. If she marries you, she can help me tidy my house."

Li Yifei gave Meng Xiaofei a sidelong glance and said, "Is that the only thing you like about her?"

Sticking her tongue out, Meng Xiaofei said, "No, it’s just that I feel relaxed around Yiyi, but a bit pressured in front of Sister Yingying."

"What pressure? She’s just your brother-in-law’s wife."

"Yes, yes, thinking like that eases the pressure. No matter how capable she is, she’s still your wife, haha. I’m off!"

After chatting a bit more, Su Mengxin and Meng Xiaofei left. Meng Xiaofei, in particular, had yet to stay even once in this new house. Naturally, she intended to tidy it up a bit, though it would likely end up messier once she was done.

With just the three of them left in the house, they all sat on the sofa. Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan occupied either side of Li Yifei. Xu Shanshan moved to the long sofa today, nudging Li Yifei and saying, "Brother-in-law, lying on the chaise lounge to watch TV is uncomfortable. Can you massage me today?"

Li Yifei, unsure of what tricks his sister-in-law might be up to, said, "You’re becoming more demanding."

Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "It’s all the same either way, I might as well make myself comfortable."

Xu Yingying shifted to the chaise lounge and said, "Honey, just agree to her demands. Otherwise, she’ll never stop."

Having no other choice, Li Yifei moved toward Xu Yingying, and Xu Shanshan immediately lay down on the sofa, placing her little feet on Li Yifei’s lap.

Xu Yingying glared at Xu Shanshan and asked, "Can’t you maintain some decorum?"

"Why bother with decorum in front of you two when I’m not looking for a boyfriend?" Xu Shanshan said, wiggling her feet and making Li Yifei anxious. If Xu Yingying disapproved, they would both be in for it.

Fortunately, Xu Yingying didn’t seem to mind, saying helplessly, "Alright, little missy, since your feet are troublesome, you’re in charge. Honey, just bear with her."

What else could Li Yifei do? This was clearly a ploy devised by him and Xu Shanshan to trick Xu Yingying, so he could only chuckle awkwardly and start giving Xu Shanshan a foot massage.

"All right, continue massaging Shanshan. I need to organize what I discussed with Boss Su today."

Li Yifei nodded. Xu Yingying, feeling a bit sympathetic, wanted to give him a peck, but felt too shy in her sister’s presence. She settled for patting Li Yifei’s shoulder before heading back to the bedroom.

"Phew, she’s finally gone," Xu Shanshan exhaled, wiggling her little feet and winking at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei slightly slapped the top of Xu Shanshan’s foot, producing a crisp sound, startling Xu Shanshan. She quickly stopped moving, glanced nervously at the bedroom, and after confirming that Xu Yingying hadn’t returned, playfully glared at Li Yifei and began acting up again.

Not only did her actions grow bolder, but today, Xu Shanshan pulled another trick. After about twenty minutes, she loudly said, "Brother-in-law, my calves feel uncomfortable too. Can you massage them?"

Li Yifei was startled and quickly said, "No."

"Why not? Can’t you massage calves? Is foot massage all you can do?" Xu Shanshan continued in a loud voice.

"It’s not that I can’t—your calves just feel a bit sore. Resting will alleviate it, and my massage won’t help."

Li Yifei decisively refused this time. Playing with Xu Shanshan’s tiny feet daily was bad enough. Massaging her calves would soon lead to thighs, and beyond... Li Yifei dare not imagine further.

So, Li Yifei decided to stop this before it went any further. He couldn’t let them fall deeper, as it would damage not only Xu Shanshan but also Xu Yingying, and by extension, her family, in the process.

Xu Shanshan pouted and suddenly called out in the direction of the bedroom, "Sis, aren’t you going to control Brother-in-law? I asked him to massage my legs, and he’s ignoring me."

Li Yifei was left speechless, thinking, "Shanshan, can’t you be a little less shameless?"
