Chapter 625: Chapter 648: Car Accident

Everyone had fun on the ship until after ten o’clock before they all headed back to their rooms. By that time, He Fangqing and Xu Yingying had also returned. They had spent the evening with the company executives and hadn’t joined Li Yifei and the rest for fun.

It was getting late, so everyone was preparing to rest. Surrounded by so many beauties, Li Yifei could only spend the night alone in his own room. However, Li Yifei did not necessarily need a woman by his side. After taking a bath, he turned on the TV to watch for a while before he was ready to go to sleep.

"Ding dong..." Two very soft knocks on the door sounded.

A smile appeared at the corner of Li Yifei’s mouth. He wondered who it could be as he went to open the door. But upon seeing the person outside, Li Yifei was quite surprised. He had thought it might be Chu Xiaoyao or Xu Yingying, or perhaps Su Mengxin and He Fangqing, but he had never expected it to be Michelle.

"Michelle, what’s the matter?" Li Yifei asked, looking at her puzzled.

Michelle was wearing a set of loose casual clothes, her cheeks slightly flushed. She spoke in a soft voice, "I just can’t sleep and wanted to chat with you a bit."

"Then come in," Li Yifei said as he stepped aside to let Michelle in, then he casually shut the door behind her. "Have a seat."

Michelle sat down on the sofa next to her, slightly uncomfortable, and said, "Brother Li, I’m sorry to disturb you so late at night."

Li Yifei got a drink for Michelle, opened it for her, and then sat down next to her before saying with a smile, "I’m not asleep either. It’s nice to have someone to talk to."

Michelle took a sip of her beverage, holding the can in both hands. She opened her mouth to say something but ended up saying nothing.

Li Yifei chuckled, "What’s wrong? You seem to be hesitating. Is there something you’re embarrassed to talk about?"

Michelle hesitated for a moment before she finally asked, "Brother Li, do you think President Xu would really tolerate Chu Xiaoyao and Su Yiyi?"

Li Yifei’s heart skipped a beat as Michelle asked this question; he hoped she wasn’t thinking of doing the same as Chu Xiaoyao and Su Yiyi. Maintaining a composed expression, he replied, "I’m afraid it’s not that simple. Xiaoyao is still young and tends to be willful. Plus, her parents have passed away, and she’s all alone now. We’re just taking care of her temporarily. The university life is so exciting, and for a cute girl like her, there will definitely be many excellent boys pursuing her. Perhaps by then she’ll find someone she truly likes."

Michelle quickly continued, "What about Su Yiyi? I can tell she really wants to be with you."

Li Yifei cleared his throat and said, "Yiyi is not like Xiaoyao, but when I was with Yiyi, it was before my marriage to Yingying. I feel a sense of responsibility towards Yiyi. I can’t just abandon her. If Yingying can’t accept her, I won’t give up on Yiyi either."

"Oh, what about Ye Yunzhu?"

Li Yifei really didn’t know what to say when it came to Ye Yunzhu. He chuckled bitterly and shook his head, "Honestly, I don’t know. No matter how things turn out with Xiaoyao and Yiyi, they are manageable because their families don’t have too many ties. But Yunzhu’s family is large, and she’s a person of status; our situation is difficult to handle."

In fact, Li Yifei had already won over Ye Yunzhu’s family. Facing a powerful ally like Li Yifei, even if he couldn’t actually marry Yunzhu, they would not trouble him further. By saying this, Li Yifei was reminding Michelle that she had her own family to consider, and even if she fancied him, her parents would not easily let her become someone’s mistress.

Upon hearing this, Michelle indeed sighed softly, "Yes, love is important, but family bonds are not something you can just cut away."

"Yeah, by the way, did you have fun today? Did you enjoy yourself?" Li Yifei changed the topic.

Michelle brushed her hair aside, understanding that Li Yifei was deliberately changing the subject, and smiled, "It was great. I never imagined there could be such magnificent cruise ships in the world. If I could give my parents the chance to enjoy such a place, that would be even better."

"There will always be opportunities in the future. You really are filial," Li Yifei said as he breathed a sigh of relief. Michelle was indeed dutiful, and he had met her parents, an average middle-aged couple. People like them valued their reputation highly; how could their daughter be someone else’s mistress? Thus, a relationship between him and Michelle was out of the question.

"Thank you, Brother Li. I’ll be going now." Michelle stood up.

Li Yifei stood up as well, but Michelle somehow stumbled on something and fell toward him. Li Yifei quickly reached out to catch her by the waist.

Michelle didn’t fall, but she still had the can of beverage in her hand, which splashed upward. The contents spilled out immediately, and despite Li Yifei’s quick reflexes, he couldn’t avoid it and was drenched head to face.

"Ah, I’m so sorry!" Michelle quickly grabbed some tissues to wipe the beverage off Li Yifei’s head.

Li Yifei also grabbed some tissues to wipe himself off, but there was quite a mess, not just on his face and head but on his clothes as well.

"Brother Li, you should take off your clothes, I need to wash them for you," Michelle said hurriedly, with an apologetic tone.

Li Yifei immediately responded, "No need, I’ll just wash them when I get home."

"That won’t do, the beverage has spilled on you, and if you wait too long, it won’t come off. Hurry up and take it off; I’ll help you wash it."

"I can wash it myself."

"I’m the one who splashed it on you, so of course I should wash it for you. Hurry up and take it off."

Seeing that Michelle was adamant, Li Yifei agreed. He was only wearing a T-shirt, which he quickly took off, revealing his toned chest underneath.

Michelle took the shirt and, seeing Li Yifei’s chest, her face suddenly turned red. Li Yifei’s physique wasn’t so apparent with clothes on, but once removed, his bulging pectorals and the abs on his stomach became visible, causing Michelle’s heart to race and her mouth to go dry. A torso like this held a strong attraction for women, and Michelle, who had been deeply smitten with Li Yifei, was left in a flurry of emotions upon seeing him like this.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Although Li Yifei didn’t know who it was, he didn’t think much of it and was about to open the door, when Michelle, panicked for some reason, hurriedly grabbed his arm and whispered, "Brother Li, wait, let me hide first; it would be embarrassing if someone saw."

"Is that necessary?" Li Yifei laughed and said, "We aren’t doing anything, why do you need to hide?"

"But you’ve taken off your clothes! If someone sees, they’ll think you want to... No, that won’t do, I have to hide."

Before Li Yifei could recover from his surprise, Michelle hurriedly opened the wardrobe door and hid inside.

Li Yifei was somewhat at a loss for words. Michelle was overcomplicating things by hiding. The knocking on the door wasn’t loud, yet it was persistent, so he went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Xu Shanshan slipped in and then locked the door behind her.

"Shanshan, what are you doing here?" Li Yifei was startled and quickly asked.

Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "I’ve been waiting for a long time and there was no movement from your end. My sister definitely didn’t come here, so I came to check on you." As she spoke, she laid her hands on Li Yifei’s shoulders.

Li Yifei was taken aback. Normally it wouldn’t matter how he acted with Xu Shanshan, but with Michelle still in the room, he lowered his voice and said, "Shanshan, stop messing around."

Xu Shanshan pouted, leaned forward, and rested on Li Yifei’s chest, whispering softly, "Stinky brother-in-law, seeing you cozying up with them makes me really upset. I’m the only one who can’t get close to you, and it’s making me miserable."

Li Yifei was greatly alarmed and quickly glanced at the wardrobe door, unsure if Michelle had heard. However, Xu Shanshan’s voice was very quiet, and even if Michelle had heard Xu Shanshan speaking, she probably couldn’t make out the words. He hastily pretended to speak loudly, "You silly girl, you played so wildly during the day and now you want to drink with me at night? That won’t do. You should sleep early tonight and we’ll have fun tomorrow. We’ve spent all the money, so it would be a big loss not to enjoy it to the fullest."

"Drinking, what a great idea! Let’s have a drink then, brother-in-law," Xu Shanshan said excitedly, taking up on Li Yifei’s unintended suggestion.

Li Yifei broke out in a cold sweat. If Xu Shanshan stayed to drink, who knows when she would leave. Moreover, if Xu Shanshan said something inappropriate that Michelle overheard, it would only complicate matters further.

He quickly said to Xu Shanshan, "No, you need to go back and sleep."

"I won’t... Brother-in-law, I want to..."

"What do you want? Go back to bed," Li Yifei insisted. He knew Xu Shanshan was implying she missed him, but at that moment, he couldn’t let her say it out loud and firmly stopped her.

"Brother-in-law... you..." Feeling that Li Yifei was unusually stern and kept scolding her, Xu Shanshan suddenly felt wronged. Today, Su Yiyi had received her sister’s approval, meaning there would be more people sharing her brother-in-law. This made Xu Shanshan unhappy. Now, with Li Yifei speaking to her in that way, she felt even worse, and said angrily, "Stinky brother-in-law, I don’t care, I’m going to do it with you tonight..."

Li Yifei was terrified, not daring to let Xu Shanshan finish her sentence. In desperation, he bent down and kissed Xu Shanshan.

Xu Shanshan’s body stiffened for a moment, but her indignation dissipated with Li Yifei’s kiss. She tightly embraced Li Yifei, passionately responding to the kiss.
