Chapter 678: Chapter 716 Love is Giving

Today, Ning Xin’er took Little Yifei for a bath, while Xu Yingying frowned. She always believed it was impossible for Su Mengxin and Li Yifei to be together. Su Mengxin’s status was too noble; even she felt Su Mengxin was out of reach. Li Yifei, in her heart, was good, but compared to Su Mengxin, it was like heaven and earth.

However, when Ning Xin’er brought this up today, it reminded her of the time Su Mengxin had been here and her many interactions with Li Yifei. If Su Mengxin set her sights on Li Yifei, it would make perfect sense.

This left her conflicted. Su Mengxin’s elegance was something Xu Yingying admired immensely. If Su Mengxin truly competed for Li Yifei, how could she have the qualifications to compete? She’d feel ashamed and want to withdraw automatically.

Xu Shanshan immediately noticed Xu Yingying’s inner turmoil and kicked Li Yifei, giving him a look.

Li Yifei quickly wrapped his arm around Xu Yingying’s waist and said, "Wife, we’ve been together for so long. How can you let one word from Ning Xin’er make you overthink?"

Xu Yingying leaned weakly against Li Yifei’s shoulder and said, "If it were someone else, I wouldn’t really be afraid, but if Mengxin really likes you, then I am truly scared."

At this point, Xu Shanshan promptly said, "Sister, you’re really hopeless! Let’s not even discuss the low possibility of Mengxin liking your husband. Just say she does happen to like him, how likely is it for them to be together? You need to realize, with Sister Mengxin’s status and family background, can she even marry your husband? Would her family agree? In a family that large, can she make decisions about her own marriage?"

Xu Yingying was taken aback for a moment, and then Xu Shanshan continued, "Besides, we lived on the island for quite a while, and there’s actually something we haven’t told you."

"What is it?" Xu Yingying asked instinctively.

Xu Shanshan chuckled and said, "While we were in the sea trying to survive, your husband was afraid we’d be washed away by the waves, so he tore our clothes into strips and tied them around our waists. When we landed on the island, we didn’t have clothes to wear."

Li Yifei sweated silently; why did Xu Shanshan have to reveal this now? But stopping her was impossible, and he believed Xu Shanshan must have her reasons for doing so.

Xu Yingying widened her eyes. "Ah? You all... you, Michelle, and Su Mengxin had no clothes?"

"Yeah, but don’t worry. The three of us women still had one pair of underwear; as for your husband, well... he was stark naked."

Xu Yingying immediately pinched Li Yifei, feeling conflicted inside. Her own husband being naked with three women in underwear, how could she not mind as a wife?

"Hehe, you don’t need to be so angry. At that time, surviving was what mattered most. Once we got to the island, your husband found large leaves from trees to cover us up."

Finally, Xu Yingying sighed in relief.

Xu Shanshan continued, "Sister, on this island, nobody knew if we’d survive. Naturally, the truest feelings would come out. Michelle said some excessive things at the time, but Su Mengxin said nothing."

At this moment, Xu Shanshan didn’t hesitate to sell out Michelle, since Michelle liking Li Yifei was something everyone knew.

Indeed, Xu Yingying wasn’t concerned about Michelle, and her expression relaxed slightly.

Xu Shanshan added, "I’ll tell you; I believed my brother-in-law would definitely bring us back. So I took the opportunity to observe how he treated them. I must praise him; he treated both of them with courtesy, never even giving them a second glance. When we slept, he slept on the edge and let me sleep beside him to avoid contact with them."

"Oh..." Xu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Ning Xin’er had really tricked her. But as soon as she relaxed, she suddenly widened her eyes, looking at Li Yifei, then at Xu Shanshan, and said, "The two of you slept together?"

Xu Shanshan burst out laughing and said, "Sister, are you alright? I slept next to my brother-in-law to keep them from getting close to him. He slept next to me to conveniently take care of me. Can’t you differentiate between who’s close and distant? You’re not suggesting there’s something fishy between your husband and me, are you?"

Xu Yingying awkwardly laughed and said, "I didn’t suspect anything. I just heard you say you were sleeping with your brother-in-law. It’s always said that a sister-in-law and brother-in-law being together is not sound."

"Hah, we’re family, alright? I seriously don’t know what’s going through your head." Xu Shanshan shook her head and said helplessly, "I’m leaving now; too disheartened." She then pushed the door open to sleep in Su Mengxin’s room, avoiding Meng Xiaofei’s house—just a dog’s den there.

"Husband, I’m sorry, I fell for Ning Xin’er’s trick." Xu Yingying apologized and kissed Li Yifei on the cheek.

Li Yifei admired Xu Shanshan’s cleverness, but inside, he genuinely felt sorry for Xu Yingying. With no choice but to conceal the truth further, he held Xu Yingying tighter and said, "Wife, I know you love me; I love you too."
