Chapter 594: Chapter 613: Cousin’s Visit

Li Yifei spent the afternoon surveying the company, having not been around much recently, he needed to get up to speed with the security situation. Although the place wasn’t in particular need of high security, the safety of the company’s assets was still quite important. This was the first time he had taken his role as the head of the security department seriously.

This left the other security guards puzzled. Since Li Yifei had taken up the position as manager of the security department, he had never been this serious before. What was going on today?

After checking all the floors, Li Yifei turned around and prepared to implement additional security measures. He didn’t aim for them to be excessively stringent, but he intended to install more cameras to ensure there were no blind spots in the company, especially in the public areas. Offices needed to provide some privacy, of course, but complete coverage in the corridors would ensure that anyone entering or leaving the offices would leave a trace.

As he drafted the list of necessary additions in his office, a series of joyful male exclamations came from outside.

"Secretary Su, what brings you here?"

"It’s been such a long time! I heard from Manager Li that you went off to pursue better opportunities. I bet you’ve found something much more promising."

Upon hearing this, Li Yifei knew Su Mengxin had arrived; otherwise, why would everyone react so enthusiastically? And thinking of Su Mengxin, Li Yifei suddenly understood why he had become so earnest about the company’s security—it was her company, and after they had become intimate, he had unconsciously started to think of Su Mengxin as one of his own. He naturally began to take her company as seriously as if it were his own.

Just then, the door opened, and Su Mengxin was led into his office by two security guards. She wore casual autumn attire, hands behind her back, smiling at Li Yifei, "Cousin, I’ve come to see you."

Li Yifei chuckled, "You’re not working, so what are you doing here?"

"I’m taking a couple of days off, so of course, I came to see you. What are you so busy with that you’re being this serious?" Su Mengxin came up behind Li Yifei, casually placing her right hand on his shoulder while she peeked at his desk.

Li Yifei casually patted the back of Su Mengxin’s hand, saying, "I’m strengthening the company’s security."

Su Mengxin, full of surprise, said, "Really? Cousin, you’ve started to work hard now."

Li Yifei turned his head to look at Su Mengxin, smiled, and said, "I’m being paid a salary and taking up a position, so I have to work hard."

"Giggle... My cousin, if you do something, you’ll definitely do it the best. I believe in that more than anything," she said, stretching both arms to prop her elbows on Li Yifei’s shoulders, then leaning on his back.

Such intimate gestures had never been seen from Su Mengxin before, but she acted so naturally in his office, even with a few security guards present. Li Yifei was utterly at ease, an unspeakable understanding between them.

But to those onlooking security guards, they were the epitome of envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Li Yifei. They were dying to pull him away and have Su Mengxin lean on them instead.

However, they could only dream. Someone as beautiful as Su Mengxin was sacred, almost saint-like, in their hearts. Admiration and affection for her were common, but sleazy thoughts were rare. Su Mengxin hadn’t been in the company long, but with her charisma, she had already made every man there fall head over heels.

"Cousin..." Su Mengxin called out, then hesitantly glanced at the security guards.

They immediately understood; Su Mengxin wanted to speak privately with Li Yifei. Knowing better, they all discreetly exited, closing the door behind them.

Su Mengxin wrapped an arm around Li Yifei’s neck, whispering, "Yifei."

Li Yifei’s face nestled against Su Mengxin’s, gently rubbing against it, asked, "What’s up?"

Enjoying the closeness, Su Mengxin squinted and felt a rush akin to being in a passionate romance with Li Yifei. But she also knew that breaking that final barrier wouldn’t be as good as this ambiguous state and just brushed her cheek against Li Yifei’s, saying, "Nothing much, I just didn’t have anything going on and wanted to come to see you."

"Heh... This is your company, of course, you should come and check on it. Otherwise, Yingying and I might run it into the ground, and you would be at a big loss."

"You guys can do whatever you want. Besides, with Yingying’s abilities, there’s no way she could ruin it for me. I’ll be staying over at your place tonight too."

Li Yifei chuckled, "Looking for free food and lodging again, huh?"

"Exactly, I haven’t been here for a while, and the food I’ve had hasn’t been to my taste—I’ve even lost some weight. It’s the perfect time to replenish at your place."

"That’s definitely not a problem, your figure is absolutely perfect now."

"Really?" Su Mengxin asked with a grin.

Li Yifei coughed dryly and said, "Of course."

"Hehe, no man has ever given such a fair assessment of my figure before."

Su Mengxin said this, it really gave Li Yifei quite a sense of accomplishment. The most beautiful woman in Huaxia had only revealed her figure in front of him; he was the only one who had seen all of Su Mengxin and even got to touch and kiss her.

At that moment, the voice of a security guard rang from outside: "President Xu!"

Su Mengxin immediately stood up straight, and Li Yifei also sat up properly, presenting a very serious demeanor. Su Mengxin, seeing this, could not help but chuckle behind him and pinched Li Yifei’s waist.

Li Yifei pretended not to notice, but the sensation was all too familiar. It reminded him of how Xu Shanshan would playfully act after their secret little escapades; now, in addition to Xu Shanshan, there was another, Su Mengxin.

Xu Yingying entered the office and, seeing Su Mengxin, looked quite surprised. After closing the door, she said, "Mengxin, what brings you here?"

With a light laugh, Su Mengxin said, "I didn’t have much to do today, so I came over to see. Finding Yifei here, I decided to sit with him for a while."

Xu Yingying didn’t suspect anything and said with a smile, "Yifei has really been under your care these past few days."

"Why the formality between us? We’re practically family. Now that Yifei is alright, I must come over to your place this evening to satisfy my cravings."

"Absolutely no problem," Xu Yingying promptly agreed cheerfully.

Then Su Mengxin smiled and asked, "Did you come to see Yifei, or is there something official you wanted to talk about?"

Xu Yingying’s cheeks tinged red, but she didn’t deny it and said, "I just came to check on him. I heard he was inspecting the different floors just now, and I was worried his leg wound might reopen."

With a laugh, Su Mengxin said, "Are you his wife? It’s only right to be so concerned, otherwise someone else might step in to offer their care."

Xu Yingying glared at Li Yifei and said, "Yeah, this guy really gives us no peace of mind, always flirting with temptresses."

Xu Yingying was speaking so candidly because she was close to Su Mengxin and held nothing back. In her eyes, anyone who was ambiguous with Li Yifei was naturally a temptress. However, the speaker didn’t mean anything by it, but to the listener, it meant a lot. Su Mengxin’s cheeks flushed; she was now one of those temptresses, wasn’t she?

Xu Yingying didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary with Su Mengxin. Even if she had seen any change in Su Mengxin’s expression, she would never suspect that Su Mengxin had any relationship with Li Yifei. To Xu Yingying and many other women, Su Mengxin was untouchable and revered, someone ordinary people couldn’t fancy touching, and Li Yifei, no matter how highly she thought of him, was just another common man.

"By the way, Boss Su, these past few days I’ve been busy discussing the expansion into the international market, and I’ve been meaning to talk to you about it," Xu Yingying said.

Smiling, Su Mengxin responded, "Great, we can have a good chat about that. I’ve always been optimistic about this project; I think it has a lot of potential. But I haven’t taken the step to venture into international markets yet; you’re ahead of me in that."

"Boss Su, perhaps my thoughts aren’t fully formed, but here’s what I’m thinking..." Xu Yingying immediately said.

Su Mengxin listened to Xu Yingying’s ideas, nodding frequently. These ideas were indeed comprehensive. Xu Yingying’s capabilities really satisfied her. Besides her own abilities and personal charm, Su Mengxin’s main advantage was her keen eye to recognize and employ the right people. Nevertheless, she had to admit that among the managers in her own companies, Xu Yingying ranked amongst the top.

"Yingying, what you’ve thought up is good; I don’t have anything to add. Go ahead and carry it out with confidence."

Xu Yingying nodded at this and said, "If Boss Su has no objections, then I’ll arrange it."

Smiling, Su Mengxin assured her, "Do I need to have doubts about your abilities? From now on, you don’t need to report everything to me. Do as you see fit."

Moved, Xu Yingying nodded earnestly. As a senior executive, she dreaded nothing more than too much interference from above. Su Mengxin had given her free rein over the company’s management from the start, and now she had complete autonomy. Encountering a boss like this made Xu Yingying feel like she had found a kindred spirit.

A soldier dies for those who appreciate him, and Xu Yingying felt this way now. Even if it meant selling her soul for Su Mengxin, she wouldn’t bat an eyelid.

However, if she knew that Su Mengxin acted this way not only because she recognized her capability but also because she had her eye on her husband, who knew what Xu Yingying would think, or whether she’d be willing to simply hand over her husband, Li Yifei, to Su
