Chapter 519: Chapter 529: Discovered

Ye Yunzhu and Xu Yingying chatted away. Although their conversations occasionally carried a hint of rivalry, most of the time, they laughed together in harmony. They shared mutual admiration and respect, unlike typical jealous women.

Xu Shanshan and Chu Xiaoyao, on the other hand, didn’t enjoy the work-related discussions and dashed off to the kitchen.

"Uncle, need me for anything?" Chu Xiaoyao hugged Li Yifei’s waist from behind, stood on tiptoe, and stretched her head from his neck side, planting a kiss on his cheek.

Li Yifei was used to Chu Xiaoyao’s antics and said, "I’ll be thankful if you don’t cause any trouble here."

"Giggle, how could I be causing trouble? I’m here to cheer you up, see how nice I am."

"Alright, alright, you’re too nice. Could you please let go of me? I need to cook."

"Hee hee..." Chu Xiaoyao giggled mischievously, let go of Li Yifei, but stuck close behind him.

Xu Shanshan was much more composed than Chu Xiaoyao. She was washing vegetables and said, "Brother-in-law, we’re really having a feast today, it’s so lavish."

Li Yifei chuckled, "It’s been a long time since I cooked such a big meal, today you’ll all get to eat to your heart’s content."

Xu Shanshan put the washed vegetables aside, dried her hands, and said, "I knew brother-in-law is the best." Then she walked past Li Yifei.

Li Yifei felt a hand graze his behind and looked at Xu Shanshan, who acted as if nothing had happened, leading him to think she had accidentally touched him, so he paid it no mind.

But soon after, Xu Shanshan brushed past him again and unexpectedly touched him once more.

Though Xu Shanshan’s expression was unchanged, Li Yifei realized she was doing it on purpose.

Suddenly Li Yifei broke into a sweat. This sister-in-law had started taking liberties with him, but with Chu Xiaoyao there, he didn’t dare say anything to Xu Shanshan.

That meal was extraordinarily lively. With a clingy Chu Xiaoyao by his side, who didn’t care about anything and openly clung to him, even touching his sensitive areas when his back was turned to Xu Shanshan.

Behind him, Xu Shanshan occasionally snuck touches, driving Li Yifei to distraction.

Thinking about how he used to flirt with beauties, he now found himself being flirted with by two beautiful women, unable to do anything but endure it. He became increasingly flustered.

"Uncle, didn’t I relieve you just this afternoon? Why are you worked up again?" Chu Xiaoyao hugged Li Yifei’s neck, whispered in his ear.

Li Yifei broke into a light sweat, turned to glare at Chu Xiaoyao, and said, "Stop messing around, or I’ll kick you out."

Chu Xiaoyao chuckled, "Alright, I won’t fool around anymore."

Xu Shanshan, however, mumbled, "Brother-in-law, you’re too much."

Chu Xiaoyao burst out laughing, beamed at Li Yifei, who glared at Xu Shanshan, thinking to himself, you’ve played a part in this. But he said nothing.

Xu Shanshan blushed, returned Li Yifei’s glare, and said to Chu Xiaoyao, "I say, Xiaoyao, whatever you do with brother-in-law in front of my sister, I don’t mind, but in front of me, can’t you hold back a bit? Consider my feelings, will you?"

Chu Xiaoyao stuck out her tongue, "Alright, alright, I won’t fool around."

The two finally stopped taking liberties with him, giving Li Yifei a sigh of relief, allowing him to focus on cooking.

More than half an hour later, Li Yifei finally finished cooking, and just as everyone was about to eat, there was a knock on the door. Li Yifei didn’t have to guess to know it was surely Meng Xiaofei. She had a knack for showing up every time he prepared a feast.

Chu Xiaoyao went to open the door, and sure enough, Meng Xiaofei was there, jokingly saying: "Sister Xiaofei, your nose is really sharp."

Meng Xiaofei giggled proudly, "Looks like I came just at the right time, it’s a feast today. I’m in for a treat." Then she noticed the others, stuck her tongue out, "Sister Yunzhu’s here too, good thing you’re not strangers, or I’d be too embarrassed to join."

Li Yifei laughed, "Even if there were strangers, I’d still have to let you eat. Otherwise, you’d probably drool all over."

Meng Xiaofei stuck her tongue out, "Brother Li knows me well; if you made delicious food without letting me eat, I’d be devastated."

Aside from Ye Yunzhu and Li Yufei, everyone was familiar with Meng Xiaofei, so they invited her to join the meal, and she did so without reservation.

With Meng Xiaofei, the atmosphere was quite lively. Xu Yingying and Ye Yunzhu couldn’t keep referencing Li Yifei in their conversations. Additionally, Xu Yingying had to take care of Li Yufei, who was young and needed assistance with her meal, a responsibility that naturally fell to her mother.

Ye Yunzhu, being pregnant, couldn’t drink alcohol either. They all opted for juice or soft drinks, while Li Yifei had a bottle of beer.

After a few bites, Li Yifei felt a warmth on his leg, his chopsticks paused, and his gaze landed upon Xu Shanshan across the table. She appeared engrossed in her meal with a natural demeanor, but that familiar sensation on his foot could only be hers. Xu Shanshan frequently played footsie with him under the table, which had become routine.

Li Yifei wanted to pull back his foot, but he knew if he did, this sister-in-law might pull some new trick, causing him further headaches. So he decided it was less risky to let her foot stay. The table wasn’t like a mahjong table with something blocking view underneath, making the situation precarious and somewhat nerve-wracking.

If it caught Xu Yingying’s attention, or even Ye Yunzhu or Chu Xiaoyao, it would stir up a heap of troubles.

Shanshan was something else; in private, they shared playful ambiguity, but she liked to spar when it was riskiest, intentionally testing Li Yifei’s fortitude.

Fortunately, the conversations were engaging; everyone enjoyed chatting while eating and weren’t watching beneath the table, preserving the facade.

The table was square, not the commonly seen rectangular kind in homes. Each side accommodated two people; Xu Yingying and Li Yufei shared one side, Li Yifei sat with Chu Xiaoyao on another. Ye Yunzhu sat by herself, while Li Yifei was sandwiched between Xu Yingying and Chu Xiaoyao. Opposite were Xu Shanshan and Meng Xiaofei.

Usually, at home, even without Meng Xiaofei and Ye Yunzhu, they sat this way. Despite knowing about Ye Yunzhu’s relation to Li Yifei, Chu Xiaoyao, styling herself as a mistress, didn’t shy away from sitting beside him, leaving others’ opinions out of consideration.

Even though Xu Shanshan typically sat across from Li Yifei, she never played footsie. Today, with more people present, she boldly did so.

As Li Yifei worried, a hand warmed his thigh. Without further thought, it could only be Chu Xiaoyao’s mischievous hand, startling him briefly as he sneakily pushed her hand away.

But soon, her hand returned, so Li Yifei glanced at her, who merely gave him a cheeky smile, ignoring his warning.

After this back-and-forth, Li Yifei decided to ignore Chu Xiaoyao. Given her open relationship with him, it wouldn’t matter if others saw it.

"Yingying, you’re really good to Yufei," Ye Yunzhu observed Xu Yingying lovingly tending to Li Yufei, amazed at her genuine fondness, despite doubts about the authenticity since Yufei wasn’t her biological daughter.

Xu Yingying smiled, "As a mom, how could I not be good to her?"

Ye Yunzhu nodded, "But reaching your level isn’t easy."

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment. Sweetheart, want anything else?" Xu Yingying asked.

"I want a big shrimp!" Little Yufei pointed to a plate of braised prawns; she harbored a particular fondness for seafood.

Xu Yingying immediately peeled a big shrimp for Yufei, placing it on her plate. Instead of feeding her directly, avoiding pampering her, which Xu Yingying handled well.

Yufei then asked for a crab ball, which Xu Yingying fetched. However, it slipped, dropping to the floor, so she bent down to pick it up, wanting to avoid a mess if someone stepped on it.

As she bent over, she saw Xu Shanshan’s foot pressing down on Li Yifei’s, causing her to pause.

At that moment, Li Yifei internally panicked; Xu Yingying’s sudden movement caught him off guard. He’d reacted too late, his heel bumping into the chair with a thud, failing to retract in time, and Xu Shanshan was engrossed in conversation with Meng Xiaofei, unaware.

This spelled disaster, revealing his intimate play with Xu Shanshan to Xu Yingying. Li Yifei’s face fell as the realization hit him.
