Chapter 830: Chapter 871: Strange Couple

After dinner, Li Yifei went to move things again. Although there were some things left in the house, most were unnecessary, and the necessary ones had been moved there. At this time, he could only move them back.

Su Mengxin and the others were waiting for him, and as soon as Li Yifei arrived, they all began to ask questions simultaneously.

Li Yifei explained Xu Yingying’s current situation to everyone, and they all had headaches. The harmonious family they had painstakingly built was completely disrupted by Xu Yingying’s awakening.

However, no one complained because Xu Yingying waking up was still a good thing. Even Chu Xiaoyao didn’t say much this time. Xu Yingying had been so good to her, and she had always been grateful in her heart. If it were someone else, she might have complained, but she wouldn’t complain about Xu Yingying.

Moreover, everyone agreed to not reveal their relationship with Li Yifei for now. Living here, they would just say that Su Mengxin was lonely and brought everyone over to make it lively.

But Ning Xin’er suddenly said, "What about Little Yifei?" with a very unpleasant expression. Everyone could continue interacting with Xu Yingying as friends and be with Li Yifei, but what about her? Her daughter was still with Xu Yingying’s parents, so Ning Xin’er had nowhere to hide. She really didn’t know how Xu Yingying would view her.

It was understandable that Ning Xin’er was worried since it wasn’t easy for her to gain Li Yifei’s approval. If Xu Yingying disagreed, she would be in a difficult position.

Li Yifei also felt that this matter was tricky until Su Mengxin said, "This thing can only be faced openly. Maybe it could even awaken Yingying’s memory; who knows? If she remembers completely, it won’t be a problem. Even if she doesn’t remember, Little Yifei is so loved by Yingying’s parents. You’re Yifei’s biological mother; Yingying can’t do anything to you."

"Let’s hope so." Ning Xin’er felt very uncertain.

Everyone started to tidy up Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan’s things and delivered them to Xu Yingying’s home.

Xu Yingying regained some physical strength after eating, and she chatted with Xu Shanshan for a while. Besides understanding her relationship with Li Yifei, she also asked about things in the company.

Xu Shanshan, being a smart person, explained that Xu Yingying asked Li Yifei to pretend to be her boyfriend to avoid being nagged by their mom, which led to them gradually becoming husband and wife. This was true, and Xu Yingying’s parents also knew, but Xu Shanshan did not involve others to prevent Xu Yingying from being unable to accept it.

Xu Yingying found all this rather amusing, wondering how she could do such a thing, eventually marrying Li Yifei based on a misunderstanding.

When everyone arrived, Xu Yingying warmly invited them in, although she didn’t recognize Ning Xin’er, Su Yiyi, or Chu Xiaoyao. This selective memory left everyone speechless, but they all acted as if nothing was wrong.

After tidying up, they sat for a while and then left, leaving only Li Yifei, Xu Yingying, and Xu Shanshan at home.

Xu Yingying felt uneasy, remembering only living with her sister. However, now there was another man in the house, their nominal husband, which felt inexplicably awkward. As soon as Su Mengxin and the others left, she stood up and said, "I’m going to take a shower."

Once the sound of running water came from the bathroom, Xu Shanshan winked at Li Yifei and said playfully, "Brother-in-law, I think this isn’t bad. Come, give me a foot rub." She threw her feet onto Li Yifei’s lap.

Li Yifei held Xu Shanshan’s foot, shook his head, and said, "Your mood is quite good."

Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "My sister woke up; shouldn’t I be in a good mood?"

"Of course, you should be in a good mood. But maybe the fact that we’re going back to our old lifestyle is also a reason for your joy?"

Xu Shanshan stuck out her tongue and said, "Yeah, there have been too many women around you recently, and with me going to the head office, I hardly had any chance to be with you."

"Shh, lower your voice. If your sister hears us, we’re done for."

Xu Shanshan glanced towards the bathroom, lowered her voice, and said, "Brother-in-law, what’s your plan now? My sister doesn’t recognize you as her husband."

"What can I do? I’ll just treat her well and wait patiently for her to remember."

"What if she never remembers?"

"Haha... then I’ll court her until she finally accepts me, willingly making me her husband!"

"Great! I support you, Brother-in-law. No matter what, you can’t let my sister slip away, or I won’t be able to be your sister-in-law anymore."

Xu Yingying waking up did relax everyone a bit. Even if there were some issues, there was hope they could be resolved. If Xu Yingying hadn’t woken up, some problems might never have been solved.

After a while, Li Yifei went to the bathroom door and said, "Honey, do you need any help?"

"No, no... please don’t come in," Xu Yingying’s panicked voice came from inside.

Li Yifei quickly said, "I won’t come in. I’m afraid there’s too much steam in there; it might be uncomfortable for you—don’t take too long in the shower."

"I’ll be out soon. Just go away..."

Li Yifei shook his head. Previously, he and Xu Yingying felt no reservations—they were a married couple. But now, with Xu Yingying like this, he had to be more cautious.

After taking a shower, Xu Yingying went straight back to the bedroom and closed the door. Xu Shanshan smiled and said to Li Yifei, "Brother-in-law, I’m going to shower first, but brace yourself. You’ll be sleeping on the couch tonight."

Li Yifei laughed, "Looks like your sister won’t let me into the bedroom. She already locked the door earlier."

Just as Li Yifei predicted, that night, he slept on the couch. Xu Yingying just couldn’t see him as her husband and how could she let him share her bed?

The next morning, Xu Yingying wanted to go back to work, but Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan firmly refused. Since she had just woken up, her body hadn’t fully recovered. They couldn’t rest easy, insisting she stay at home. Xu Yingying’s body was indeed quite weak; trying to go to work would have been a struggle, so she eventually agreed to stay home.

But usually, when Xu Yingying stayed home, at least Su Yiyi, Chu Xiaoyao, and sometimes Ye Yunzhu would be there. Now that Xu Yingying wasn’t living there, it left her alone in the house. Li Yifei was not at ease, so he asked Su Yiyi to come over and accompany Xu Yingying.

Su Yiyi quickly came over, and only then did Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan leave for work.

Now, the house was just Xu Yingying and Su Yiyi. Normally, Su Yiyi felt quite at ease with Xu Yingying, but now facing her, she felt like before, pressured and hesitant to meet her gaze.

Xu Yingying looked at Su Yiyi and said, "I’m sorry, I really can’t remember you. Can you tell me how we met?"

Su Yiyi felt panic rise; she had met Xu Yingying through Li Yifei, but now they were all keeping this a secret, so she couldn’t say. Lying wasn’t her strong point, putting her in a tough spot.

Fortunately, Su Mengxin had prepared beforehand and specially coached Su Yiyi. Only then did she say, "Sister Yingying, I’m a student at Mile City University, studying English. Brother Li helped me in the past, and you got to know me and helped me a lot too. You’re both good people, and since I’m on break, I can keep you company."

"Oh... how did we help you?" Xu Yingying had no memory of Su Yiyi and hoped she might trigger some memories through her.

As taught by Su Mengxin, Su Yiyi said, "Sister Yingying, my dad is a gambler who lost all the family’s money. Later, people came to collect the debt, and they wanted to sell me to pay it off..."

"Ah?" Xu Yingying furrowed her brows, her face showing anger.

"Ha... I was really heartbroken then, but I didn’t want my life ruined like that. I foolishly ran to a remote suburb and found a small karaoke bar, intending to sell my virginity to pay off my dad’s debt. I naively hoped to continue with my studies. Looking back, I was so immature; if I’d taken that step, my life would have been over."

Xu Yingying asked concernedly, "And then what happened?"

"Then, it happened that Brother Li came to that karaoke bar, and I was arranged to accompany him. Seeing Brother Li, I felt somewhat relieved since he didn’t look like a bad person, but I didn’t know if he could afford to help me."

By this point, Su Yiyi was deeply engrossed in her story, reminiscing about that day with her eyes closed, "Brother Li took me away, and I told him I needed twenty thousand. Brother Li quickly arranged the money for me, probably borrowing it from you, Sister Yingying."

Xu Yingying scrunched up her face, "Did he buy you?"

Su Yiyi quickly responded, "No, Brother Li gave me the money and went to my father to help solve his problems. I was incredibly grateful and wanted to repay Brother Li with my body, but he wouldn’t hear of it. That made me feel Brother Li was such a genuinely good person."

Xu Yingying was a bit surprised. From what Su Yiyi said, Li Yifei should have become involved with her, but he hadn’t. Yet, wasn’t he the same guy who was still seeing He Fangqing?

In Xu Yingying’s current memory, she didn’t block out what happened between Li Yifei and He Fangqing. She wondered how He Fangqing would feel knowing this.
