Chapter 575: Chapter 587: Come with Me Tonight_2

Su Mengxin had also seen Li Yifei and walked straight up to him, smiling sweetly, "I made you wait for a long time."

Li Yifei chuckled, "It’s nothing, I just got here." Before, whenever he saw Su Mengxin, Li Yifei always felt at ease, but today, seeing her made him feel awkward.

As they talked, the bodyguards immediately separated the two from the others, then escorted them out of the airport. After Su Mengxin got into Li Yifei’s car, they followed behind in vehicles that had been parked at the airport.

"You seem to be in low spirits today," sitting next to Li Yifei, Su Mengxin looked at him puzzledly. She had known Li Yifei for so long and had never seen him look this run-down.

Li Yifei chuckled, "Just tired."

"Tired? What have you been doing to get so tired?" Su Mengxin was even more puzzled. For someone like Li Yifei, normal tasks shouldn’t tire him out like this, and it didn’t seem like he had to do any physical labor to be this exhausted.

Li Yifei snickered, "If I tell you, you can’t let Yingying know, okay?"

"Huh?"

"When you called me, I was at Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao’s place."

"At their place?" Su Mengxin was initially startled, then she slightly furrowed her brows.

Li Yifei intentionally said this to make Su Mengxin think less of him, hoping to deter her from continuing her interest in him. Despite Su Mengxin’s genuine feelings, Li Yifei always felt it was impossible for them to be together. Rather than letting her waste her time on him and causing him uncertainty, it was better to bluntly discourage her interest.

He kept an eye on Su Mengxin’s expression clandestinely, and seeing her frown, it seemed like she was starting to think less of him, which appeared to fulfill his intention.

"So you got this tired just from that? That’s unlikely," after frowning for a moment, Su Mengxin turned to look at Li Yifei with a teasing tone.

Her reaction left Li Yifei confused. Could it be that she didn’t mind him fooling around with those two women? He had to dig deeper, so he continued, "Those two are like little demons, they kept me busy all morning, nearly drained me dry. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be this exhausted."

"Sigh, men should always exercise some restraint with these matters. Doing it too frequently isn’t good for your health. I should probably warn those two to be more considerate when they’re with you," she said.

"You’re going to warn them?" Li Yifei’s eyes widened as he glanced at Su Mengxin. If it weren’t for the fact that they were on the airport highway, he would have slammed on the brakes and stopped.

Su Mengxin spoke earnestly, "Yeah, men tend to lack self-control with these things, but they should still manage themselves. Besides, it’s even worse with two at the same time."

Li Yifei’s mouth twitched. What kind of woman was Su Mengxin? She was supposed to be interested in him and should have been angry about such matters, so why was she acting so naturally and proposing such outrageous solutions?

"Also, with you being like this, Yingying will definitely notice when you get home. How will you explain yourself? You should be more discreet; it worries me to see you like this," Su Mengxin shook her head and sighed.

Li Yifei cleared his throat and said, "Mengxin, we’re good friends, but aren’t you disgusted by this...?"

Su Mengxin smiled faintly, "As you said, we’re good friends. Should I stop considering you a friend just because you have a problem? That wouldn’t be very friendly of me. I should be helping you. Besides, you’re young. It’s normal to fool around a bit in this area. As long as it’s not excessive and doesn’t hurt Yingying too much, it’s forgivable."

At this moment, Li Yifei’s mouth was twitching incessantly. Seeing his reaction, Su Mengxin smiled playfully, "What’s wrong? Worried you won’t be able to explain tonight? Do you want me to cover for you, to call you out tonight, get through this evening, and you should recover by tomorrow, right?"

Li Yifei chuckled dryly, "Mengxin, you seem to be treating me too well."

Su Mengxin had always been careful not to explicitly define their relationship, maintaining the stance that they were just good friends. Li Yifei felt awkward directly saying no, so he could only respond like this.

"Hehe, we are good friends, aren’t we? Of course, I have to consider your well-being. I certainly don’t want to see any problems arise between you and Yingying."

"Do you really hope that Yingying and I will be together for the rest of our lives?" Li Yifei immediately asked another question.

"Of course, would I wish for you two to get divorced? Su Mengxin gave Li Yifei a look and said, "Yingying is a good girl. If you can marry Yingying, that’s your good fortune. I can cover for you when you mess around outside, but if you really wrong Yingying, then I’ll definitely take her side."

Hearing Su Mengxin say this, Li Yifei was truly puzzled. If Su Mengxin really had feelings for him, she wouldn’t be content being a mistress like Su Yiyi and Chu Xiaoyao, right? That’s absolutely impossible; how could she still hope that he and Xu Yingying would stay together?

But to say Su Mengxin had no feelings for him, the way she interacted with him in the past made it hard for Li Yifei to make sense of it all.

"Why are you silent? Do you think I’m not being a good enough friend?" Su Mengxin poked Li Yifei.

Li Yifei gave a dry laugh and said, "If what you’re doing now still counts as not being a good enough friend, then there’s no such thing as a truly good friend."

"Hehe, that’s more like it. Here’s the deal, tonight, you’ll come with me to meet a few people. Don’t go home tonight, that way you have an excuse."

Li Yifei agreed readily. He was indeed curious to see what Su Mengxin was up to, or perhaps he could test her true intentions tonight.

"By the way, whom are we meeting today?" Li Yifei decided to smile and ask.

"Who else could it be, just a few of my friends. They didn’t take this flight and have had their fill of fun outside. They insisted on coming to bother me again this time."

"Then how did they end up in Mile City?"

"They’ve had enough of Capital City and wanted to change places. People like them, with nothing to do, naturally go wherever they want. I originally wanted to avoid them, but once I mentioned coming to Mile City, they just headed straight over. I really had no choice. Since you can’t go home tonight, how about pretending to be my boyfriend again?"

"Pretending to be your boyfriend again, huh? It won’t turn out as intense as last time, will it?" Li Yifei casually asked, but he was secretly observing Su Mengxin’s reaction.

Su Mengxin’s face showed a shy blush as she said, "It’s probably unlikely. You’ve seen it, when they go crazy, there’s nothing I can do."

"Doesn’t that mean it might be even more outrageous?"

"It won’t come to that. I can control the situation. Besides, you, this guy, you’re not at a disadvantage anyway. Do you need to be so alarmed?"

Li Yifei coughed lightly and said, "I am taking advantage, but taking advantage of you, I just feel too much pressure."

"What’s there to feel pressured about? I consider you my good friend, and that’s why I’m asking for your help. If it were someone else, I couldn’t stand it. Don’t you feel a bit reluctant to help a friend out like this?"

Li Yifei immediately said, "Of course not. But this kind of favor doesn’t seem like something friends should be doing."

"There’s no other way. Who else do I have as a male friend who could be so intimate with me and still be acceptable? If it were someone else, even a touch would be unbearable for me. Otherwise... just think of me as Yingying, then you’ll feel more at ease."

"Think of you as Yingying..." Li Yifei turned and looked at Su Mengxin with a strange gaze.

Su Mengxin spat at Li Yifei and chided, "I mean, think that way in front of others. You’re not really to see me as your wife. Don’t get any delusions."

Li Yifei muttered to himself that he wasn’t deluding himself; he felt this was a disaster.
