Chapter 831: Chapter 872: Can You Understand?

Xu Yingying had been in a coma, and Li Yifei had kept massaging her all along; therefore, her physical functions were still well-maintained. When she regained consciousness, her body recovered very quickly. After resting at home for one more day, she seemed as if nothing had happened.

However, since her hair hadn’t grown long yet, she temporarily couldn’t wear it in the big waves she used to but having short hair made her look even sharper and more capable.

Li Yifei hurried home from work in the evening and saw Xu Yingying watching her computer on the sofa. He quickly said, "You’ve just woken up. Don’t overexert yourself. You must be hungry, I will cook for you."

Xu Yingying looked up and replied, "Su Yiyi has already made dinner."

It was then that Li Yifei noticed that the dinner had already been set on the table. He laughed and said, "Yiyi really is hard-working."

"Yes, I think Yiyi is very nice, truly a good girl. Whoever marries her will be very fortunate."

Li Yifei felt somewhat guilty as he looked at Xu Yingying, but since she showed no unusual expression, he felt somewhat relieved.

Xu Yingying placed her computer on the coffee table and looked at Li Yifei, "Can we have a serious talk?"

Li Yifei sat down and softly asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

Xu Yingying frowned slightly, "I talked a lot with Yiyi today, and together with various pieces of evidence, it’s confirmed we are indeed married, but..."

Li Yifei knew there would be a twist following this, so he smiled and said, "Say whatever you have in mind, I will agree to it."

Facing Li Yifei, Xu Yingying said, "Then I won’t be shy. Right now, I really can’t think of you as my... husband. In my heart, you are not unfamiliar, but you only feel like a colleague, can you understand that?"

Li Yifei slowly said, "I understand, I have enough patience to let you accept me."

Xu Yingying shook her head, "I don’t mean that, I mean... since I still can’t accept you as my husband, could you maintain some distance from me, treating me just like a colleague?"

Li Yifei’s expression darkened, "Wife, that’s going to be tough. We’ve been married for over half a year now, and I have already gotten used to you being my wife. It’s hard for me to instantly create such a distance between us, even if I agree now."

Xu Yingying hesitated, "You have a point, it’s difficult for you too. Let’s both give ourselves some time, especially giving me some time, and you must not make me... fulfill some... marital duties."

A smile instantly appeared on Li Yifei’s face, "Don’t worry, why would I force you?"

A blush surfaced on Xu Yingying’s face, "Thank you then. Our relationship isn’t public outside, and at the office, we won’t have any problems. But the New Year is coming soon, we definitely have to go back home, and I... will cooperate then, and I hope you won’t hold any grudges."

"What silly things are you saying? You are my wife. Now that you have amnesia, as your husband, of course, I should do my best to help you."

That moment Xu Yingying fixed her gaze on Li Yifei, revealing a strange expression, "You really act differently at home compared to outside."

"Hehe, in your memory, it must be because I was out of line back then."

"Yes, I remember you and Fangqing were quite close. After you married me, what happened with her?" Xu Yingying said as she intently stared at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei broke out in a cold sweat, not expecting Xu Yingying to remember He Fangqing. He knew he needed to carefully respond, but his hesitation prompted Xu Yingying to frown, "It seems you are still keeping in touch."

Facing Xu Yingying, Li Yifei said, "Back when we were about to get married, you didn’t want to have relations with me, so you kept Fangqing close to me. After we got married, Fangqing didn’t want to impact our relationship and stopped associating with me. Don’t you remember any of this?"

Xu Yingying looked at Li Yifei in astonishment, "Did I really make such an absurd decision?"

Seeing that Xu Yingying had also forgotten the subsequent matters about He Fangqing, he smiled and said, "Hehe, when you married me, the main reason was to give an explanation to your parents, not because you really wanted to marry me."

"Then that’s even more absurd, isn’t that too unfair to you? And you agreed?"

"Hehe, a lot happened during that period, I will slowly tell you about it."

As they were talking, Xu Shanshan entered the door; seeing her sister in good spirits, she smiled, "Sis, you’re looking good."

Xu Yingying also stopped interacting with Li Yifei, "You wish I weren’t feeling well? I am really worried about the company’s situation now."

"Don’t worry, even though I’m not that capable, but we also have Mengxin. You can be at ease. Oh, dinner is ready, I’m starving."

The three of them had dinner, and Xu Yingying said to Xu Shanshan, "Let’s go find Mengxin, I want to find out about the current situation in the company."

Xu Shanshan gave her sister a blank look and said, "You really are a workaholic, just barely recovered and already thinking about work."

"You wouldn’t want me to go back, would you?"

"Have you no conscience? What’s so good about being the boss? It’s so hard every day. It’s better to be Brother Li’s secretary, more comfortable. Let’s go now, and I’ll go back to be Brother Li’s secretary tomorrow."

Xu Yingying looked at Li Yifei and said, "Shanshan being your secretary?" Her eyes were full of vigilance.

Li Yifei laughed and said, "Yes, you’re afraid some girl will seduce me, so you’re having Shanshan keep an eye on me."

With that, Xu Yingying’s doubts were dispelled, but she still found it strange. By doing this, she was placing great importance on Li Yifei. Thinking about how she was injured while protecting Li Yifei, it became even clearer how much she liked him. However, she couldn’t summon any feelings for him now, which was quite peculiar.

When they arrived at Su Mengxin’s, everyone greeted Xu Yingying warmly. Yingying, however, noticed Ye Yunzhu with a big belly and said, "Yunzhu, what happened?"

Ye Yunzhu chuckled and replied, "I accidentally let a jerk plant a seed, and now I’m just waiting to give birth."

Everyone didn’t know what Xu Yingying had forgotten or remembered, so they waited for her to speak first. Yingying didn’t know that Ye Yunzhu was pregnant with Li Yifei’s child, and her attitude towards Ye Yunzhu was still quite good, which meant she probably only remembered their work-related interactions. She didn’t remember that Ye Yunzhu was Li Yifei’s first love and carried his child.

"So how did you end up here?" Xu Yingying was still quite puzzled.

"No way around it, that guy impregnated me and ran off. I couldn’t return home to give birth, so I had to hide out here. Thank goodness Mengxin took me in."

"There are still such men, what a jerk. Oh, sorry about that."

Hearing Xu Yingying curse, everyone’s faces were quite peculiar, wanting to laugh but not daring to. Their eyes were glancing at Li Yifei, who just rolled his eyes in resignation at Ye Yunzhu. It was clearly Ye Yunzhu’s intention.

Fortunately, Xu Yingying didn’t notice this and chatted briefly with everyone before she, Xu Shanshan, and Su Mengxin went inside to talk about work.

They went to the second floor, leaving only Su Yiyi, Chu Xiaoyao, Ning Xin’er, and Ye Yunzhu on the first floor.

Previously, it was natural for everyone to be with Li Yifei, but now their relationship with him had suddenly gone underground. Seeing Li Yifei now felt a bit like having an affair, with glances at him resembling a hungry wolf eyeing a piece of meat.

This made Li Yifei a bit uneasy. He chuckled and said, "Sorry about all this."

Ye Yunzhu, patting her belly, sat down and said, "Enough with the act, everyone understands, it’s not your fault."

Chu Xiaoyao hugged Li Yifei’s neck from behind and pouted, "Uncle, when will Yingying get better? She doesn’t even recognize me now."

Li Yifei lightly patted Chu Xiaoyao’s bottom and replied, "Don’t rush, she will get better eventually."

"I used to be able to be affectionate with you, but now that Yingying doesn’t recognize us, we don’t dare. It’s quite uncomfortable."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "You girl, always thinking about those things."

"They might not be in a hurry, but I’m still a virgin, now it’s indefinitely postponed."

Ye Yunzhu then spoke, "Xiaoyao, you better not get too close to Yifei now. It’s easy for his clothing to carry your scent, and if Yingying discovers it when we go back, that would be bad."

"That’s too harsh," Chu Xiaoyao released Li Yifei and sat to the side.

Su Yiyi quickly said to Chu Xiaoyao, "Xiaoyao, don’t be mad. Brother Li is already having a hard time; do you want to make him feel even worse?"

Chu Xiaoyao stuck out her tongue and said, "No, I was just speaking off the cuff. Uncle, consider my words a dream talk, hehe, or just let it pass like a fart."

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile and said, "You girl, you’re so big yet you still don’t watch your words. Uncle promises you, I’ll make it up to you later."

"Hehe, no need, if you have to make it up to me, then you’ll have to make it up to others too. Otherwise, I would become the jealous one. Then everyone would despise me, and that would be terrible."

Li Yifei hadn’t expected Chu Xiaoyao to have such awareness. It was indeed a good thing. If the most troublesome little girl could be so well-behaved, just waiting for Xu Yingying to remember everything and accept everyone at home, his good days were about to come.
