Chapter 681: Chapter 719: This Can’t Be Real, Right?

After a bout of passion, He Fangqing was entirely limp and leaning against Li Yifei’s chest. They were still in the same position they enjoyed moments ago: Li Yifei sitting on the couch with He Fangqing turned with her back facing him, sitting on his lap, their intimate parts still connected.

Li Yifei planted a gentle kiss on He Fangqing’s earlobe and said with a smile, "I say, Fangqing, didn’t someone mention earlier they were afraid Yingying would be angry? How could you still be so wild?"

He Fangqing didn’t even want to open her eyes; the pleasure from earlier had drained all her strength, and the satisfaction and joy made her indifferent to Li Yifei’s teasing. She said lazily, "You were the one who offered yourself, so I’m not to blame."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Well, you’re certainly quick to wash your hands of it."

Despite her closed eyes, He Fangqing said earnestly, "That’s a must. You can’t steal your best friend’s husband. You forced me into this, so it has nothing to do with me. I would never steal my best friend’s husband."

Li Yifei couldn’t help but grin. He Fangqing was deceiving herself, but since she wanted to think that way, Li Yifei didn’t want to burst her bubble. He just held her quietly.

Unfortunately, at that moment, He Fangqing’s phone began to ring, startling her. The phone was on the coffee table, and Li Yifei easily reached out to grab it and handed it to He Fangqing without looking at the screen.

He Fangqing, seeing the number, quickly twisted around and whispered to Li Yifei in a tense voice, "Don’t make a sound, it’s Yingying calling."

Normally, Li Yifei should have felt guilty receiving a call from his wife, but instead he felt quite at ease, even lighting a cigarette while his other arm continued to encircle He Fangqing’s waist.

He Fangqing didn’t get up either, answered the phone, and said, "Yingying, it’s so late, what’s the matter?"

Xu Yingying’s tone was caring as she said, "Sister Fangqing, you didn’t work overtime tonight, did you?"

He Fangqing hesitated for a moment then replied, "I’m still at the office. It’s just me at home anyway, so it’s more convenient to get some work done here."

"You can’t keep pushing yourself so hard though. There is a lot of work, but it’s not that urgent."

"Hehe, I’m used to it. Staying busy like this makes me feel fulfilled. I’m quite happy, so don’t worry about me."

"Yifei was covering a shift at the office today; did you see him?"

The sudden mention of Li Yifei made He Fangqing extremely guilty, and she quickly said, "I haven’t seen him yet."

"You haven’t seen him yet? Then that guy might have sneaked off to meet some woman. That bastard even said he was covering for a colleague tonight."

He Fangqing was dumbstruck, as her defense of herself had inadvertently implicated Li Yifei. This was absolutely not acceptable, so she hurriedly said, "I did see him, he just came in. Do you want to speak with him?"

Xu Yingying chuckled softly and said, "Sister Fangqing, that’s not quite right. Just now you said he wasn’t there, and now you say he is. Could it be that you are... doing something naughty behind my back?"

At this point, He Fangqing wasn’t just feeling guilty, but very nervous as well, stammering, "No... there’s nothing."

By sounding this way, it was as if she was admitting to guilt. Xu Yingying was no longer the emotional novice she once was. From what He Fangqing had said, she knew that Li Yifei must have been up to no good with He Fangqing. There was indeed a sour feeling in her heart, but she didn’t get angry, instead she said softly, "Sister Fangqing, let Yifei keep you company tonight. You’ve had it hard these days. I know you immerse yourself in work due to the loneliness of being alone at home. Haven’t you always believed what I’ve told you?"

"I..." He Fangqing certainly knew what Xu Yingying was referring to, and her heart felt an indescribable mix of emotions. Her lips moved several times, but she didn’t know what to say.

"Pass the phone to Yifei," Xu Yingying then said.

He Fangqing quickly handed what felt like a hot potato of a phone to Li Yifei. Taking the phone, Li Yifei said, "Yingying, I..."

"Honey, make sure to keep Sister Fangqing company tonight. She’s had a tough time. If it weren’t for me, you two might be together. I’ve always felt I owe her, so no matter what you do with her, I won’t mind."

"This... wife..." Li Yifei let out a bitter laugh, truly at a loss for words.

"I’m telling you, just use the same tactics on Fangqing like you usually do with me, and I’ll ask Sister Fangqing about it later. If you don’t take good care of her, then I’ll have to settle accounts with you afterward,"

"Hey, wife, can you stop kidding around?"

"Who’s kidding? I’m serious. Okay then, I won’t bother you two anymore. Go ahead and use tonight, I won’t mind," Xu Yingying said, and she actually giggled as she hung up the phone.

He Fangqing was right in front of Li Yifei when Xu Yingying said this, and heard every word clearly. Xu Yingying had mentioned this not once or twice, but He Fangqing had never really believed she was serious. Put herself in Xu Yingying’s shoes, she certainly couldn’t be as generous. If she really could be that generous, she wouldn’t have ended up divorcing her ex-husband.

Li Yifei was still holding the phone to his ear at this moment, truly baffled. He had never expected Xu Yingying to say such things; she was being too generous. Could it be his wife really was that open-minded?

At this moment, it wasn’t just He Fangqing standing there dazed; even Li Yifei was stunned. Xu Yingying had tolerated Chu Xiaoyao staying because her parents had died suddenly and her mental state was unstable. Out of sympathy, Xu Yingying had allowed Chu Xiaoyao to stay at their house. Then came Su Yiyi, and that was a fight Li Yifei had been part of from the start; Xu Yingying had to agree whether she wanted to or not. But now with He Fangqing, Xu Yingying was so willing to share? Did she not care about her husband that much?

"This... Yifei, about Yingying just now..." He Fangqing turned her head and looked at Li Yifei, her mouth twitching twice.

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "Don’t ask me, I’m confused, too."

Seeing Li Yifei in such a puzzled state, He Fangqing suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "You’re so lucky to have a wife like that."

Li Yifei gave a dry laugh and said, "I don’t even know what Yingying is thinking."

He Fangqing laughed even more radiantly and said, "Well, then there’s no need to think about it. All I know now is that as long as she isn’t angry with us for doing this, it’s fine." She said this while wiggling her butt and snatched Li Yifei’s cigarette, extinguishing it, "Just now wasn’t satisfying enough, let’s go another round."

Li Yifei laughed heartily, "Alright, bring it on!"

This time, He Fangqing was even more uninhibited than before, a wildness that left Li Yifei almost dumbfounded. But the pleasure was incomparable. So he stopped thinking and wholly immersed himself in the delightful sensations with He Fangqing.

Over an hour later, Li Yifei came downstairs with a cigarette in his mouth. Zhao Laoshi and Wu Meng had already grabbed some fast food and were waiting for him to eat.

"Hey, Manager Li, you sure took your time on inspection," Zhao Laoshi said, winking at Li Yifei with a sly smile on his face.

Li Yifei took a seat at the table and glared, saying, "Don’t look at me with that sleazy gaze."

Zhao Laoshi chuckled again and said, "Well, Director He is a beautiful woman, and as a divorcee, she must be craving for ’certain things.’ You were up there for so long, you better not tell me you guys didn’t do anything."

Wu Meng also said with a naughty grin, "Right, I’ve heard that you and Director He were from the same company before. When Director He’s ex-husband and his wife came to cause her trouble, it was you who stood up and chased them away. You were already on good terms back then, how could you not have a thing going on now?"

Li Yifei extinguished his cigarette, picked up some food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and said with a smile, "Yeah, you guys guessed right, I’ve been with Director He all this time. How about it? Jealous and envious, huh?"

"Really?" Zhao Laoshi and Wu Meng, seeing Li Yifei admitting it, started to disbelieve him, widening their eyes in doubt.

Li Yifei shrugged his shoulders and said, "If I say nothing happened, you definitely won’t believe me, so I might as well say something did."

Zhao Laoshi chuckled and said, "We’re just joking around, you know. Who doesn’t know about you and Michelle? No matter what, Michelle is a fine young woman. Director He might be great, but she’s a divorcee after all, not up to par with Michelle. You have Michelle; naturally, you can’t be involved with Director He."

Wu Meng nodded repeatedly.

Li Yifei glared and said, "It’s fine to spout nonsense in our security room, but if you spread rumors outside, it doesn’t matter whether it affects me—I’m a man and not afraid of gossip—but Director He, just divorced, is the person who least needs this kind of speculation. We can’t damage her reputation."

Zhao Laoshi and Wu Meng nodded eagerly, and Zhao Laoshi added, "We know, it was just a joke with you. Director He is a decent person; we’d never actually gossip about her. It’s just because it’s you, Manager Li. If it were someone else, we wouldn’t even joke about it. They wouldn’t be worthy to joke about Director He at all."

After what happened last time, the two guys still really respected Li Yifei, so they didn’t take his words lightly. As far as such matters were concerned, it was all just banter they shared with Li Yifei. After all, it’s normal for men to talk about women when they are together.
