Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Don’t I Deserve You?

Xu Yingying changed her clothes and walked out of the bedroom, only to see He Fangqing coming out of the bathroom. She immediately chuckled and said, "Sister Fangqing, you look really beautiful this morning."

He Fangqing’s face turned red at once, and she said, "How can I compare with President Xu like you."

Li Yifei, upon hearing this, almost bumped his head against the door, while Xu Yingying instantly blushed and hastily said, "Sister Fangqing, what are you talking about? I don’t have any sort of relationship with him."

He Fangqing, with her arms crossed, looked Xu Yingying up and down and said with a smile, "Really? But when I saw a certain someone enter your room, it was as if he was entering his own room, and you did not seem uncomfortable at all. President Xu, is it that any man can just enter your room?"

Xu Yingying was immediately left speechless by He Fangqing’s words and, with a flushed face, she explained, "That was when he was pretending to be my boyfriend; we had to share a room."

"Giggle, and you must share the bed too, right?"

"No... not at all!" Xu Yingying said, clearly lacking confidence.

He Fangqing laughed softly and said, "Alright, you don’t have to explain. We’re all adults here, these things are normal. I won’t interfere with your relationship. I’m not planning to remarry anyway. As long as you don’t mind our past, I won’t have anything to do with Li Yifei ever again."

Knowing He Fangqing completely misunderstood, Xu Yingying quickly said, "Sister Fangqing, you really have it wrong. I have absolutely no relationship with Li Yifei, so whatever you want to do is up to you."

"A girl can’t be too proud or too easily embarrassed. If you are, someone else might benefit instead of me."

At this moment, Li Yifei was dumbfounded, having not expected Xu Yingying and He Fangqing to bargain with him in such a way. It truly wounded his male ego. He immediately raised his hand and called out, "Ladies, could you not drag me into this? Whom I want to marry is my business; it has nothing to do with you."

"What?" Both Xu Yingying and He Fangqing immediately glared at Li Yifei with murderous eyes, then in unison demanded angrily, "Aren’t President Xu (Sister Fangqing) good enough for you?"

Li Yifei was frightened by the two of them and gave a wry smile. "One of you is the boss, and the other is a director. I’m just a small employee. It’s me who isn’t worthy of you two. Since that’s the case, let’s not pair up at all. We’re just friends, good friends."

Li Yifei felt awkward about what he said. Talking about being a match or not seemed like they were talking about breeding pigs or horses.

"Hmph, you think you can just walk away without taking responsibility?" Xu Yingying and He Fangqing both voiced their protest, but each was referring to the other.

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "I’ll take responsibility. Then I’ll continue ’eating’ tonight."

"Get lost." Both He Fangqing and Xu Yingying spat at Li Yifei, with He Fangqing being somewhat calmer and Xu Yingying glaring fiercely at him.

"What’s the matter, you said I don’t take responsibility after ’eating’. I’m owning up, and now you disagree?"

"Go to hell!" Frustrated, both spoke almost identically and then turned away to organize their things.

Li Yifei touched his nose, finding the situation quite amusing. But playfulness aside, he didn’t have any serious intentions, especially towards Xu Yingying—it was just a messy situation.

At seven o’clock, Li Yifei drove Xu Yingying and He Fangqing toward the company.

Xu Yingying and He Fangqing were no longer messing around with Li Yifei but were seriously discussing the details regarding the reception of Su Mengxin, careful not to miss anything.

Once at the company, people saw Li Yifei with the two beautiful women, but only thought of him as a driver, never imagining that he had spent the previous night staying with them in the same house.

Back at the logistics department, colleagues greeted Li Yifei warmly, their relationship had improved since the last incident, and he happily joked around with them for a bit.

"Brother Li, Zhao QingSheng might have been kicked out of the company, but he wasn’t arrested. I’m worried he’ll still trouble you, so you should be careful," Michelle whispered a caution to Li Yifei when she had a chance.

"Thanks for the heads-up," Li Yifei said, not taking Zhao QingSheng seriously. In the company, he might not be able to act freely, but outside, if Zhao QingSheng caused trouble for him, Li Yifei had countless ways to deal with him.

"All this happened because you were helping me, and that’s how you made an enemy of him," Michelle said, her eyes filled with remorse.

"Ah, let it be. If you keep going, it seems like you’re going to offer yourself in repayment," Li Yifei teased Michelle with a laugh.

Michelle’s face turned bright red, and she stammered, "Brother Li, you... you’re bullying me."

"Hehe, just joking, don’t take it to heart."

Michelle pouted her lips and said, "Brother Li has learned to be naughty now. He never bullied me before."

"Ha, that’s because we’re familiar with each other now."

At that moment, Michelle wasn’t really angry and after chatting with Li Yifei for a bit longer, she sat down to work.

Li Yifei was thinking of finding something to do when his cell phone rang, it was Xu Yingying’s call. As soon as he answered, Xu Yingying spoke first, "Today you’re still going to be my driver, take me and Su Mengxin for an outing. You can’t tell anyone in the department about this."

"Oh, got it." Li Yifei hung up the phone. Being Xu Yingying’s driver wasn’t that big of a deal—it was just that he wasn’t sure if Su Mengxin would recognize him.

After going downstairs, Li Yifei waited for less than five minutes before Xu Yingying came down and handed him a car key, saying, "Keep this key. From now on, you will be my personal driver."

"No more working in the logistics department?" Li Yifei opened the car door and asked with confusion.

"Isn’t the driver also part of the logistics department? From now on, I’ll have Minister Zheng assign you less work. If I need a car, you’ll come drive for me. What, are you not happy about that?"

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "How could I not be? Driving exclusively for a leader is a good thing. Others can’t even ask for it."

"Good to know, let’s go, to the White Dove Hotel."

Li Yifei started the navigation, entered White Dove Hotel as the destination, and then drove towards it along the route.

Xu Yingying sat in the back, looking somewhat tense. Li Yifei shook his head and said, "President Xu, being this nervous, won’t you leave a bad impression?"

Xu Yingying took a deep breath and replied, "I am indeed a little nervous."

"No matter how you slice it, she’s also a person. You think too highly of her, that’s why you’re so nervous. Just treat her like an ordinary person."

"Easy for you to say. When you really come into close contact with her, you’ll feel the nerves."

Li Yifei smiled and said nothing. His close contact with Su Mengxin couldn’t have been closer—he had not only carried Su Mengxin on his back for a day but even tore off her skirt and kissed her. If Xu Yingying knew, he wondered what she would think.

However, Li Yifei didn’t think this meant he had anything special with Su Mengxin. At the time, he was on assignment, fighting for his life; there was no room for other considerations. Besides, someone like Su Mengxin, how could she care about someone who was just there to protect her?

More than ten minutes later, Li Yifei had already arrived in front of White Dove Hotel. He waited in the car, while Xu Yingying went inside the hotel.

After a while, Xu Yingying came out with Su Mengxin, along with three Zhongnanhai bodyguards—two men and one woman, with the men in the front and back, and the woman closely following Su Mengxin. Their gazes were exceedingly sharp, scanning the surroundings. Should there be any disturbance, they would respond most appropriately.

Li Yifei didn’t get out of the car, waiting for Xu Yingying to get in by herself. The main thing was, he seemed to not want to meet Su Mengxin in his heart.

Surprisingly, Xu Yingying and Su Mengxin came right up to his car. Then the female bodyguard opened the rear door, took a glance inside, and then Su Mengxin and Xu Yingying actually got into his car.

Miss Xu, aren’t you worried about your safety leaving your bodyguards behind?" Xu Yingying asked with concern, once both were in the car.

Su Mengxin smiled faintly, glancing unintentionally at Li Yifei, and said, "I believe there will be absolutely no issue with safety."

"This... wouldn’t it be better to have them follow us?"

Su Mengxin shook her head and replied, "Miss Xu, this is our country. I don’t think it is so chaotic that going for a casual stroll would pose safety issues. Besides... don’t you have a driver here? He should be able to protect our safety, right?"

Xu Yingying looked at Li Yifei, having heard from people at the company that when Li Yifei went out with Michelle, he alone had beaten up three thugs. But those were just thugs, which hardly reassured Xu Yingying.

Knowing Su Mengxin recognized him from her words, Li Yifei understood she had yet to reveal his past identity, and for whatever reason, he liked that. Turning to them with a smile, he said, "President Xu, Miss Su, I can take responsibility for your safety. Where are we heading now?"

A driver should remain silent and wait at this point. Li Yifei’s proactive inquiry clearly wasn’t becoming of a qualified driver. Furthermore, he was boasting, which made Xu Yingying frown slightly and almost glare at him.

At that moment, Su Mengxin gave a slight smile, meeting Li Yifei’s gaze, "Where we go is up to you. Wherever you take me, that’s where we’ll go."

Feeling that Su Mengxin wasn’t displeased, Xu Yingying quickly said, "Let’s start with Hualong Temple, then. It’s the most historic temple in Mile City."
