Chapter 749: Chapter 787 Someone is Following

Today, since He Fangqing was not seriously ill, it was up to Li Yifei to drop off his daughter and Xu Shanshan. After taking his daughter to kindergarten, Xu Shanshan immediately said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, what was with you all this morning?"

Li Yifei didn’t hide anything and told her all about the conditions Xu Yingying had set for him the day before.

After hearing this, Xu Shanshan laughed heartily and said, "That’s indeed much more interesting. I’m all for it, with both hands and feet."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "I also think it’s normal. Your sister controlling me like this seems more like what a wife should do."

"You really are a masochist, huh? Your happy being tightly controlled by your wife," Xu Shanshan said with a snort.

Li Yifei still said with a smile, "Maybe so, but your sister used to indulge me so much that I had indeed been missing a sense of being husband and wife."

"Oh... So why did you both look like that this morning?"

Li Yifei said with frustration, "Don’t get me started... Fangqing got a bit better, so last night I wanted to stay at your sister’s place, but she absolutely refused, and then I went to Yiyi’s place, and she did the same thing."

"Haha... So that’s what happened, no wonder, no wonder. You’ve been pent up for several days, no wonder you looked so frustrated," she teased.

Li Yifei didn’t deny it; he was in the prime of his life, so it was perfectly normal for him to have a strong interest in such matters.

"Then why didn’t you come to me? At the very least, I could have satisfied you, couldn’t I?" Xu Shanshan winked at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei let out a dry laugh and said, "I just promised your sister yesterday, and turning around to find you right after doesn’t seem very sincere, so I had to endure."

"No way! Are you really cutting ties with me?" Xu Shanshan suddenly widened her eyes, looking very anxious.

Li Yifei patted Xu Shanshan’s leg and said, "If I wanted to, would you agree?"

"Absolutely not, I wouldn’t agree even if it killed me," Xu Shanshan replied promptly.

"That settles it then. With your sister like this, I’m going to focus more on this family. I need to avoid certain things, but with you... even if I did anything with you, it wouldn’t be any different than not doing it."

Xu Shanshan then finally pursed her lips and smiled, "Good that you understand. Being with my sister is like raping me every day. You couldn’t deny it even if you wanted to."

"I bet tonight your sister will also tell you not to give me any money to spend. I’ll become a pauper from now on."

"Giggle, I won’t give you any money either, lest you go out chasing other girls later. I fully support my sister’s decision."

After dropping off Xu Shanshan, Li Yifei drove back, suddenly feeling something was not quite right; he had the feeling he was being followed.

Though Li Yifei had not spotted anything yet, as a formidable member of the Flying Hawk Squad and having protected many VIPs, his intuition was sharp. He observed carefully and soon noticed a grey Bora following him.

The Bora wasn’t following directly behind his car but was three cars away. Under normal circumstances, it’s easy to lose a trail like that, yet the car managed to keep up with Li Yifei. Not only was it maintaining the distance of three cars, but it would also sometimes close in and sometimes drop back, even once overtaking Li Yifei’s car. If not for Li Yifei’s keen observation, anyone would think the car was just sharing the road, never suspecting it was tailing him.

Moreover, it proved that the pursuer’s driving skills were excellent, along with a strong sense of how to trail someone.

It wouldn’t be a surprise for Li Yifei to be followed when Su Mengxin was in Mile City, but with her not there and someone still trailing his car, it became rather unusual. Was the pursuer targeting him specifically?

Li Yifei continued to drive normally, stopped in front of a pharmacy, and went straight inside, while the car didn’t stop and passed by, taking a right turn at the next bend and disappearing from Li Yifei’s sight.

Li Yifei bought some medicine and then continued on his way, but the vehicle that had been following him did not reappear.

This only made Li Yifei more vigilant. The pursuer had clearly shown sophistication. If targeted alone, he wouldn’t fear, but now he wasn’t alone. If someone planned to harm his family, then that would be a real trouble for Li Yifei.

The best course of action was to root out the pursuer.

After parking his car in an underground parking lot, Li Yifei took out his phone; recently, he needed to ask his men to be extra vigilant.

Li Yifei did not spend the entire day at home with He Fangqing; instead, he went in and out of the neighborhood several times. However, no one seemed to be trailing him anymore, as if those people had realized that Li Yifei had spotted them.

Such experts in tailing others would generally have absolute confidence in their skills. Now that they suddenly stopped following him, it suggested they recognized Li Yifei’s strength and deemed tailing him futile.

"Not bad, a worthy opponent indeed," Li Yifei said, with a smile on his lips. Although many things had happened around him recently, he hadn’t encountered any real masters—except for Sophia and those three guys from Japan. But this group was clearly more mysterious and stronger, which indeed roused a sense of combativeness in Li Yifei.

When everyone returned home that evening, Li Yifei acted as if nothing was amiss. After dinner, they all gathered in the living room.

Xu Yingying gave Su Yiyi a look, and Su Yiyi, a bit embarrassed, still fetched a small stack of money and handed it to Li Yifei, saying, "Brother Li, this is December’s pocket money."

Li Yifei quickly took it, counting carefully twice before gingerly putting it in his pocket, eliciting suppressed laughter from the others. It was rare to see Li Yifei so concerned about money; usually, he had no idea how much he was even carrying. But now he not only counted but counted twice.

"Don’t laugh. This is my monthly allowance. I have to be careful, right? If I’m short one bill, that means I’m losing ten percent of my expenses."

Struggling to contain her laughter, Xu Yingying said, "If you’re this conscious about it, that’s not bad. Shanshan, we’ve discussed it, and from now on, your brother-in-law will get a thousand yuan a month for pocket money. You’re not allowed to secretly give him more."

Xu Shanshan immediately responded, "You’re still giving him some? I barely have enough for myself. But now that you’ve taken control of Brother Li’s finances, who do I ask for money when I’m short?"

Xu Yingying pointed at Yiyi and said, "If you’re short on cash, just talk to Yiyi."

Xu Shanshan promptly clung to Su Yiyi’s arm, saying affectionately, "Yiyi, we’re the best of siblings, aren’t we?"

Su Yiyi was visibly embarrassed and quite anxious. Xu Yingying had put her in charge of the family’s finances, which she was reluctant to do. While managing Li Yifei hadn’t been too stressful, the prospect of controlling Xu Shanshan’s spending was daunting. After all, Xu Shanshan was just Xu Yingying’s sister, and it seemed quite inappropriate for her to manage Xu Shanshan’s financial matters.

At that moment, Xu Yingying reassured Su Yiyi, "Yiyi, don’t worry. Shanshan spends money lavishly, and if we don’t rein her in, she won’t even know how much she spends in a month. If she dares to disobey, let her come to me. I’ve got your back."

Xu Shanshan said with a grin, "How could I possibly disobey? I respect it very much; as long as it’s not you managing the money, Yingying, I’ll accept whoever does it."

"Hmph, you just know it’s troublesome to get money from me. But I’m warning you, don’t you dare bully Yiyi. Yiyi is my dear sister, part of our family. If you bully her, you’re bullying yourself."

Blinking her eyes playfully, Xu Shanshan teased, "If you hadn’t said that, I wouldn’t have thought of bullying Yiyi. But since you’ve said it, after being bullied by you for so many years, if I can’t get back at you, I can at least get some interest from Yiyi. Come here, let your sister give you a kiss."

"Ah!"

Su Yiyi did not expect Xu Shanshan to do more than just talk. She actually hugged and kissed her on the face, startling Su Yiyi into a scream.

"Don’t be scared. If Brother Li doesn’t have the time to keep you company, I’ll be there for you," Xu Shanshan said, even rather roguishly copping a feel on Su Yiyi’s chest.

Su Yiyi hurriedly broke free from Xu Shanshan and fled to Xu Yingying’s side, her face flushed red. Xu Shanshan, meanwhile, collapsed onto the sofa, laughing heartily.

Despite Xu Shanshan’s antics causing Su Yiyi much embarrassment, they also made her feel that Xu Shanshan wasn’t upset about her managing the household finances.

As they were talking, Ning Xin’er arrived, greeted everyone, and went straight to Li Yifei, "Yifei, Little Lei and Little Tao are coming tomorrow. Shouldn’t we go pick them up?"

Li Yifei immediately looked to Xu Yingying, who said generously, "Of course. When relatives visit, we should definitely treat them well."

Ning Xin’er just smiled and stayed quiet. She wasn’t interested in clashing with Xu Yingying; opposing her at this time would certainly not be wise.

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Yingying, considering that three relatives are coming, I’ll need to treat them to meals and help them find a place to stay, which will cost money. Could you maybe allocate me a bit more for that?"

With a slight smile, Xu Yingying replied, "Then ask Yiyi for another five thousand yuan. But be sure to keep track of your expenses and report back to Yiyi. Any leftover money should be returned."

"Absolutely!" Li Yifei immediately agreed enthusiastically, after all, as long as he didn’t have to spend his own thousand yuan, he was fine.

Ning Xin’er was somewhat surprised by this arrangement and watched Li Yifei with curiosity, while Xu Yingying, noticing Ning Xin’er’s reaction, felt the urge to prevent her from seizing any opportunity.
