Chapter 769: Chapter 807: Stay Behind

"Did you get your leave approved?"

When Li Yifei returned to the three women, Xiao Ling’er greeted him with a smile.

Li Yifei nodded and said, "It’s all set, let’s go."

With narrowed eyes, Xiao Ling’er asked, "I’m quite curious, just how did you manage to get your leave? "

Li Yifei chuckled and replied, "Trust, my wife trusts me, that’s how. What’s there that can’t be approved?"

"Hmph, trust you, your wife must be blind," Xiao Ling’er said with a twitch of her mouth that could have reached the back of her head if her ears hadn’t been in the way.

Everyone got into the car, and this time not only was their bodyguard’s car following them, but there were also two Police Cars trailing ahead and behind.

The police initially wanted to stay and offer protection, but Ling’er and the others sent them away. The officers were secretly relieved—after such a shootout, they knew they’d be nothing more than cannon fodder.

Once they arrived at the house, the three women immediately claimed to be hungry, so Li Yifei had to start preparing dinner for them.

Li Yifei’s cooking was undoubtedly exquisite, pleasing the three beauties immensely. Su Mengfei stuffed a braised shrimp into her mouth and mumbled, "Brother-in-law, your cooking is really something. No wonder my sister likes being with you; for this culinary skill alone, it’s worth it."

"If it tastes good, eat up, but don’t overdo it. You all don’t look like you eat a lot usually, and if you overeat all at once, it’ll be too much for your stomachs to handle."

The three of them nodded repeatedly but still ate quite a bit. Whether at home or in fancy hotels, they had tasted countless delicacies, but at home, elders always liked to lecture during meals, and they would leave without eating much. Eating out didn’t have the same homely atmosphere, so it wasn’t nearly as satisfying as eating here.

Dinner brought a much more relaxed atmosphere among the four, and the house was tidied up by the bodyguards. Unlike in the afternoon, they weren’t sent away this time, but were instructed to stay around the vicinity of the villa. This way, they wouldn’t interfere with the household and could also clear the periphery, preventing those with ill intentions from getting too close.

After the meal, the table was left unattended as everyone moved to the living room. Sitting on the sofa, however, all three still felt anxious about the day’s events, and they glanced nervously outside through the windows. The darkness of the night only heightened their sense of insecurity.

Xiao Ling’er stuttered a little as she asked, "Do you think... there could still be bad guys outside watching us?"

Zheng Yuling and Su Mengxin hadn’t been quite so frightened, but when Ling’er mentioned it, they looked outside instinctively, and their hearts began to race. Unconsciously, they all moved closer to Li Yifei.

Li Yifei laughed, "Aren’t there bodyguards outside? The bad guys won’t be able to get close so easily this time, you don’t have to be afraid."

"Are you sure it’s safe?" Xiao Ling’er looked at Li Yifei anxiously.

Li Yifei nodded, saying, "There aren’t that many bad people around. Besides, after the commotion today, the police will be paying more attention here. Do you think all the police have left? Not too far from this villa, there are probably still some officers on the lookout. It’s practically impossible for the bad guys to come near now."

Li Yifei’s reasoning finally eased their minds a bit. Xiao Ling’er patted her chest and said, "Today was really too dangerous. If the sofa hadn’t been thick enough, the bullets could have gone through and taken our lives."

Watching Ling’er’s gesture, Li Yifei’s mind drifted to the ludicrous event from the other night, reminiscing about how she had stood naked in front of him, asking to be sucked. The memory startled him, and he quickly said with a laugh, "If the sofa manufacturer heard you say that, they would definitely pay you for the advertisement. You’d have to add a slogan or two like, ’XX sofas, comfortable to sit on and a guarantee for your life‒can block knives and bullets alike, the perfect choice for your home.’"

All three girls burst into laughter. Zheng Yuling said with a chuckle, "I say, Li Yifei, you turn out to be quite the humorist."

Li Yifei replied with a smile, "The more you get to know me, the more you’ll find my virtues. I’m just afraid you’ll fall in love with me without even realizing it."

"Dream on!" the three of them shouted in unison, but they all laughed heartily nonetheless. Talking with Li Yifei was indeed enjoyable; they rarely met a man as entertaining as him.

After chatting for a bit and easing their tension, Li Yifei suggested with a smile, "Alright, it’s getting late. You should all wash up and go to bed. When you wake up, there’ll be nothing to worry about."

None of them objected and started heading upstairs, but after a few steps, Xiao Ling’er turned around and called out to Li Yifei, "You should come up too."

Since they had all stayed on the upper floor previously, Li Yifei casually agreed, saying, "You go ahead, I’ll be up in a bit."

"No way, no way. If you’re not upstairs with us, it scares us," Xiao Ling’er stood on the stairs, making it clear that if Li Yifei didn’t follow them up, they wouldn’t go either.

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "You really are a handful. Alright, I’ll come up with you."

The four of them went upstairs, and the three women went into the bathroom together, obviously because they were scared and didn’t want to shower alone. The thought of three women showering together was enough to make any man’s imagination run wild, and what made Li Yifei speechless was that these three actually asked him to wait in the corridor.

Li Yifei originally planned to go into his room after they entered, but before he could, Xiao Ling’er called out from inside, "Li Yifei, are you there?"

Li Yifei could only answer, "I’m here."

Not even three minutes passed before Zheng Yuling also called out from inside, making Li Yifei realize that even if he wanted to leave, he couldn’t. He had no choice but to grab a chair, smoke a cigarette, and chat with Xu Yingying on WeChat.

Li Yifei not only chatted with Xu Yingying but also told her everything that was happening, including the fact that he was waiting not far from their bathroom door.

This actually made Xu Yingying less worried. When women feel scared and lack a sense of safety, they look for that sense of security—it’s instinctual. Besides, Li Yifei’s candidness about the situation confirmed that nothing was going on. It reassured her that he was there and that there was no need for him to keep proving anything to her.

Only then did Li Yifei truly breathe a sigh of relief. It would have been one thing if Su Mengxin caused Xu Yingying to misunderstand, but he’d feel truly wronged if these three women were the reason.

Finally, the three women finished showering and slid the door open before emerging one after the other. Li Yifei’s eyes widened in astonishment to see that all three of them came out wrapped in just a bath towel, with their arms, legs, and shoulders exposed. The sight was... incredibly tempting.

"Hey, what’s with that look?" Xiao Ling’er was back to her usual teasing self, confronting Li Yifei with an accusatory tone as soon as she was no longer scared.

Li Yifei chuckled awkwardly and said, "I’m just saying, you three should be a bit more mindful after taking a shower. It’s okay to put on pajamas; why come out... just wearing a bath towel? I am, after all, a man."

Xiao Ling’er glared at him and said, "I know you’re a man, but you’re also the first man who’s seen our whole bodies. We’ve let you see everything, so what’s there to be afraid of you seeing more?"

Li Yifei was utterly choked up by Xiao Ling’er’s words and hurriedly said, "That time was all because we drank too much, I don’t even know what happened that night."

"Stop pretending. If you don’t remember, then I’ll be damned. Hurry up and take a shower. You have five minutes to come out."

"Five minutes... That’s not even enough time to take off and put on clothes."

"Quit your yapping. Five minutes and if you’re not out, we’re coming in to drag you out. We’ve seen your body before; it’s not like we’re scared."

"Fine, I’ll go right now." Li Yifei hurriedly dashed into the bathroom. Those three crazy girls, if they really lost their inhibitions, might actually do it.

Five minutes was certainly too short, but Li Yifei didn’t take more than ten minutes because he could hear footsteps in the hallway. Clearly, the three girls, though not certain they would barge in, made Li Yifei think it was safer to come out proactively.

Li Yifei hastily got dressed and pulled the door open, only to see Xiao Ling’er and the other two standing at the door. He laughed and said, "So you really were planning to come in and grab me, huh?"

"You’re lucky you were quick. If you’d been any slower, we would’ve barged in," Xiao Ling’er said sternly.

But Li Yifei saw a hint of shyness in her eyes. As fierce as she sounded, and even though they had come over, he suspected the three of them would still be too embarrassed to actually storm in.

While drying his hair, Li Yifei said, "Now that I’ve also showered, can you all go to sleep? If you’re scared, the three of you can sleep in one room, and I’ll sleep next door. If anything happens, I’ll be there right away, so just relax."

Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling nudged Su Mengfei, who rolled her eyes at the two of them and muttered, "Why do I have to say this..." Then, smiling at Li Yifei, she said, "Brother-in-law, we’re not sleepy yet. Can you stay with us and chat some more?"

Without giving it a second thought, Li Yifei said, "What’s there to chat about with you girls in the middle of the night? It’s late, and it’s inappropriate for a man alone with you women. Just go to sleep."

Xiao Ling’er wagged her finger playfully and said, "You’re wrong on two counts. First, it’s only a little past eight, and although it’s dark, it’s not the middle of the night. Second, it’s three women with one man, so it’s not a case of a lone man with a single woman."

Li Yifei rolled his eyes, thinking to himself: one might be manageable, but three girls getting wild... that’s the real danger.
