Super Soldier in the City
Chapter 532 - 542

Chapter 532: 542

The next day, someone from the city came to greet Lin Qiong, asking him to release Lin Sihao. However, Lin Qiong refused, saying the matter hadn’t been fully investigated yet and things needed to be clearer before any release, neither agreeing nor completely rejecting the favor.

Lin Qiong didn’t have much of a scheming mind. Given her personality, encountering a spoiled young master like Lin Sihao who disregarded others’ lives, she would want severe punishment. However, Li Yifei taught her not to be so direct. In the officialdom, there were many subtleties; being too rigid could lead to breakage, so she needed to learn to be a bit smooth.

Moreover, he wanted to drag things out to force the Lin family to genuinely step forward, rather than just find someone to get Lin Sihao out. Because Lin Sihao was already threatening his family, Li Yifei had to deal with this kid to avoid future troubles.

It was already the weekend, and Li Yifei had promised his daughter that he would take her to the beach. Even if there were other important matters, Li Yifei did not want to break his promise to his daughter, so he set off with her.

Xu Yingying had lots of things going on that weekend and couldn’t make time, so she didn’t go along. Only Xu Shanshan and Chu Xiaoyao went with them.

Li Yifei had actually wanted to find Su Yiyi too. He hadn’t visited her recently, which made him feel quite guilty. However, he couldn’t find the time. But Su Yiyi wouldn’t come, fearing to meet any women related to Li Yifei other than Chu Xiaoyao. Yifei was helpless and could only tell Su Yiyi that he would find time in a couple of days to spend with her properly.

On the island, little Li Yufei had even more fun. Having been there once before, she was already familiar with the place, letting her enjoy herself more freely.

With two beauties accompanying him, Li Yifei was very content. After building a big sandcastle for his daughter, he gathered a few kids of the same age, and they played together, relieving Li Yifei and the others from needing to supervise them. Li Yifei lay on the beach while Xu Shanshan and Chu Xiaoyao started burying him in sand again.

With Xu Yingying not around, these two dared to play more boldly. Every time Chu Xiaoyao tossed a handful of sand, she pretended to dust off her hands while actually touching Li Yifei inappropriately, clearly taking advantage. And though Xu Shanshan wasn’t as blatant as Chu Xiaoyao, her little hands occasionally poked or groped.

Li Yifei had no way to deal with Xu Shanshan. If he attempted to stop her, he always ended up feeling humiliated and couldn’t prevent it in the end. Since it couldn’t be stopped, he chose to let it be. Fortunately, Xu Shanshan only played a bit of affectionate tease and didn’t want to do anything more, unlike other women who sought emotional involvement. Moreover, she was wholeheartedly loyal to her sister, worried that Li Yifei and Xu Yingying’s relationship might have issues. Just for that, Li Yifei felt at ease with Xu Shanshan.

Chu Xiaoyao grinned and said, "Sister Shanshan, today you can’t go swimming with Uncle. I won’t stay here alone."

Xu Shanshan’s eyes flustered immediately, and she replied, "Swimming? I didn’t think about swimming. Isn’t playing with the sand good enough?"

Chu Xiaoyao pouted, "Hmph, last time Yingying and I were watching Yufei here, and you ran off to swim with Uncle. That’s not fair. Even if someone goes swimming, it should be my turn with Uncle this time."

Li Yifei quickly looked at Xu Shanshan, who stuck out her tongue at him and gently pressed his head down, saying, "Don’t move. If you move, the sand will fall."

"Xu Shanshan..."

"Hehe, no talking. Your belly moves when you talk. See, see, the sand fell."

Xu Shanshan began evasively steering the conversation away, ignoring Li Yifei’s words.

Li Yifei glared at Xu Shanshan and inwardly sighed. No wonder Xu Shanshan said the time in the elevator wasn’t the first time they kissed; it was because when he had swum in the sea with someone, it wasn’t Xu Yingying but Xu Shanshan, yet he didn’t realize it. He had thought it was his wife, Xu Yingying, so he naturally kissed and touched freely. Only now did he understand that it was his sister-in-law he had kissed and touched.

And this sister-in-law didn’t expose it then and even cooperated with him. This sister-in-law was truly a little monster. Fortunately, when Li Yifei proposed that request, Xu Shanshan refused, which was fortunate among misfortunes. Otherwise, who knows how it could have ended.

Imagine if Xu Yingying found out he had a relationship with Xu Shanshan; she would have exploded in rage, and their divorce would be inevitable.

But with Chu Xiaoyao here, Li Yifei couldn’t reproach Xu Shanshan.

"Auntie, Auntie, come quickly!" At this time, Li Yufei called out, making Chu Xiaoyao stand up immediately. Now, Li Yufei addressed her as Auntie.

Xu Shanshan quickly jumped up too, saying, "I’ll go, I’ll go," and darted off, clearly not daring to face Li Yifei alone.

Chu Xiaoyao paused, puzzlingly looking at Li Yifei, asking, "What’s up with Sister Shanshan? She’s not usually this eager."

Naturally, Li Yifei couldn’t tell Chu Xiaoyao about this matter. He thought no one could talk about it, so he smiled and said, "Don’t worry about her. Let her go if she wants to."

The next day when they woke up, Xu Shanshan no longer avoided Li Yifei, giving him a chance to be alone with her.

"Shanshan... that day, why did you..." Although he knew talking would be fruitless, Li Yifei couldn’t help but want to discuss it with Xu Shanshan.

Xu Shanshan smiled warmly at Li Yifei, saying, "Brother-in-law, you took advantage of me, and I haven’t held it against you. What do you want to talk about?"

Li Yifei was left speechless, rolling his eyes, saying, "If you’d said you were Shanshan, would I have misbehaved with you?"

"I just didn’t want to say. I wanted to see if you really loved my sister or not, is that okay?"

"But can you test it in another way?"

"You can’t catch a tiger without entering its den; you won’t catch a villain without sacrificing something. If I didn’t give anything, how would I know if you were really in love with my sister?"

"You..." Li Yifei was left bewildered by Xu Shanshan’s words.

Xu Shanshan held Li Yifei’s arm, shaking it lightly, and cheerfully said, "Brother-in-law, it’s really okay. I genuinely don’t mind. As long as I know you and my sister are happy, I’m happier than anything else. Look at me, I’m not even upset that you’re close with Xiaoyao, and I don’t leak your secrets to my sister. Look how good I am to you, and why do you always find fault with me?"

"Shanshan, but this thing between us... isn’t it going a bit too far?"

"It’s fine; a sister-in-law is like half a wife to a brother-in-law. As long as we don’t cross the line and don’t make my sister sad, it’s all good."

"This..."

"Besides, I quite like it. If you dare keep a distance from me, I’ll tell my sister you kissed and touched me back then."

"You..." Li Yifei widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Giggling, just joking. Anyway, you’re not losing anything, so why overthink it? Oh, I get it, Brother-in-law. You’re thinking of taking both of us sisters, huh? Brother-in-law, that’s too vile. I’m warning you; you can take advantage, but you can’t think like that."

Watching Xu Shanshan say such things so righteously left Li Yifei stunned. How could someone speak so brazenly? This sister-in-law was indeed peculiar.

"Shanshan, don’t say such things randomly. You’re going to kill your brother-in-law at this rate."

Xu Shanshan giggled, hugging Li Yifei’s arm, gently rocking it, sweetly saying, "Brother-in-law, you can’t take what happened that day to heart."

"Alright, alright, I won’t take it to heart." Li Yifei quickly surrendered, unable to handle his arm brushing against Xu Shanshan’s chest.

"I knew my brother-in-law was the best. Are we going swimming later?" Xu Shanshan blinked playfully.

"Going again?" Li Yifei’s eyes widened in shock.

Xu Shanshan immediately burst into laughter, saying, "Brother-in-law, how could you say you’re not thinking messy thoughts? I just said swimming, not like holding and kissing you as we did that day. What are you afraid of?"

Li Yifei’s teeth ground tightly. This sister-in-law seemed intent on driving him crazy. She had just mentioned that incident, and now swimming – who wouldn’t think astray?

"Don’t put on a sour face; I’m just teasing. I know you see me as a real sister, just like I see you as a real brother. Some affection between brothers and sisters isn’t a big deal, right?"

"Well, of course, it’s not an issue if it’s not excessive. If it goes too far, it’s hard to justify." Li Yifei refrained from saying the words "incest."

Xu Shanshan, being sharp-witted, instantly caught his drift, giggling softly and saying, "Oh, that’s true too. It’s more comfortable being a brother-in-law and sister-in-law."

Li Yifei rolled his eyes, realizing Xu Shanshan was determined to keep their flirtation going regardless of what he said.

"Brother-in-law, I’m hungry; hurry and prepare something to eat. Xiaoyao, Yufei, food’s ready!" Xu Shanshan laughed, running toward Chu Xiaoyao and Li Yufei.

The three of them laughed together without Li Yifei knowing what they were discussing.

Li Yifei shook his head repeatedly, having anticipated this outcome. However, he didn’t expect Xu Shanshan would state the ambiguity between them so explicitly: it’s no big deal, taking advantage is fine. Is there really such a sister-in-law in the world?

Yet, Li Yifei encountered one. Moreover, this sister-in-law was the twin of her sister. The thought of it even made Li Yifei feel a bit hot inside.
