Chapter 832: Chapter 873: Stricter Regulations

Xu Yingying, Xu Shanshan, and Su Mengxin studied until nearly nine o’clock before heading home together. During that time, Li Yifei could’ve gotten cozy with Ning Xin’er several times, yet they did nothing. Nowadays, Li Yifei dared not make any mistakes. Whether Xu Yingying was self-closing in a coma or selectively amnesiac, it was all due to emotional issues. If everything that happened then stimulated Li Yifei, no one could predict what might occur. So, they just had to endure it.

Back at home, Xu Shanshan said to Li Yifei, "Brother-in-law, can you rub my feet tonight? Wearing high heels all day has almost killed me."

Xu Yingying’s eyes lit up immediately and said, "You want him to massage your feet?"

Xu Shanshan rolled her eyes and said, "I mean, sis, what is that expression? My feet have problems from dancing. Brother-in-law always massages them for me. Has this slipped your mind?"

"Really? So, him massaging your feet, brother-in-law massaging a sister-in-law’s feet, isn’t that inappropriate?"

Li Yifei was a bit surprised this time. Xu Yingying had chosen to forget things related to her emotional entanglement with Li Yifei but had even forgotten about him massaging Xu Shanshan’s feet. Upon reflection, it made sense. Li Yifei massaged Xu Shanshan’s feet as Xu Yingying’s husband, and Xu Yingying had forgotten he was her husband. How could she remember this?

Xu Shanshan casually said, "What nonsense is that? It’s just a foot rub. Even in the spa, male technicians give us massages." Her heart was very tense though. If Xu Yingying disagreed, this kind of good life would be over.

However, Xu Yingying looked at Li Yifei again and then said, "Then rub away. I’ll go organize things. If you’re tired, rest early. Don’t bother about me." Then she went into the bedroom.

Xu Shanshan stuck her tongue out at Li Yifei and ran to the bathroom to take a quick shower. She changed into pajamas and lay on the sofa, skillfully putting her small feet on Li Yifei’s lap.

Li Yifei naturally held Xu Shanshan’s foot and began to rub it for her, but before he could do much, Xu Yingying came out, saw their posture, and frowned. When she saw Xu Shanshan’s outfit, her brow furrowed even more.

"Shanshan, go change. Dressed like that, what do you think you’re doing?"

Even though it was winter and the temperature outside was below minus ten, the heating was strong indoors, reaching twenty-five or twenty-six degrees. Wearing anything thicker could result in a sweat bath, so Xu Shanshan wore a simple gauze nightgown with bare white thighs and no bra. Lying flat like this made her chest shape particularly prominent.

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan were used to this. In the past, Xu Yingying didn’t give it much thought, so they acted as they always did. Who would have thought Xu Yingying would oppose it now?

Xu Shanshan reacted quickly, saying with a smile, "Sis, you’re jealous of your sister? If I wanted to steal Brother-in-law, I would’ve done it long ago and wouldn’t need to wait until now, right? Besides, Brother-in-law has always treated me like a sister, don’t overthink it."

Xu Yingying glared at Xu Shanshan and said, "I’m not overthinking. It’s just that you’re no longer young, and as a woman, you should have some modesty. You’re waving around with so little on, even if he is your brother-in-law, that’s not okay. What if others saw, wouldn’t that easily lead to gossip?"

Xu Shanshan pursed her lips and said, "There’s only the three of us at home, no one else, what’s there to fear?"

Xu Yingying’s eyes widened as she shouted, "If I say no, then no. Change now, or else no more massages!"

Xu Shanshan felt aggrieved and said, "Such ingratitude, awakening only to scold people." She muttered as she went back to the room to change.

Li Yifei, meanwhile, looked at Xu Yingying with a bright smile. Xu Yingying glared at Li Yifei and asked, "Why are you smiling?"

Li Yifei smiled and said, "Before we got married, you were this fierce. After we married, you weren’t as fierce anymore. Seeing you like this now, it really makes me nostalgic."

Xu Yingying felt a bit awkward and said, "I’ve told you before, don’t talk to me in that way."

"Sorry, I couldn’t help it. Please forgive me, President Xu."

Li Yifei’s earnest look made Xu Yingying feel even more uncomfortable. She said, "I’m going back to work. Be careful with Shanshan and don’t do anything over the top."

"If I wanted to, I would’ve done it a long time ago, no need to wait until now, right?"

"Just be cautious," Xu Yingying said before returning to her room and slamming the door shut.

Xu Shanshan then came out of her room, wearing a new set of pajamas, much more formal, directly opening Xu Yingying’s door and asking, "Is this outfit okay?"

"Much better, off you go."

"You’re stricter than Mom," Xu Shanshan mumbled, turned around, closed the door, made a face at it, then headed straight towards Li Yifei, loudly saying, "Brother-in-law, don’t look at me, don’t have any ideas. Be like a monk, you hear?"

Li Yifei laughed and said, "Alright, your sister just woke up, and you’re already teasing her."

Xu Shanshan sniffed, "She’s only lost her memory, no other issues. I’m not going to humor her."

Li Yifei truly followed the rules while massaging Xu Shanshan’s feet. Because every ten minutes, Xu Yingying found an excuse to come out, clearly monitoring them. Li Yifei knew Xu Yingying wasn’t jealous of him as her husband; she was just watching over Xu Shanshan.

At night, Li Yifei still had to sleep on the sofa. Despite having a wife and so many women, he was reduced to sleeping on the sofa. Life’s unpredictability could be exemplified here when extreme happiness turned into tragedy.

The next day, Xu Yingying returned to her long-absent company. For Xu Yingying, it felt like she had just slept overnight and had come to work today, with no real adaptation issues. It was just that there had been significant progress in the company’s situation since her coma, and she needed to familiarize herself again.

Having Su Mengxin’s help made it easy for her to get started too.

At this time, He Fangqing had already learned of Xu Yingying’s awakening and was naturally overjoyed. Being so busy in the morning left her no chance to interact, but after lunch, she dragged Xu Yingying to her office.

"You finally woke up, which puts my mind at ease," He Fangqing said, pulling Xu Yingying to sit down.

Xu Yingying looked at He Fangqing with a peculiar gaze and said, "Sister Fangqing, did you know I lost my memory?"

He Fangqing laughed and said, "I know, but you can still remember me. That’s no problem."

Xu Yingying leaned back on the sofa, feeling tired. "I woke up and suddenly had a husband, Li Yifei. This really makes me uncomfortable."

"Haha...that’s interesting. It’s odd that you remember everything but forgot about your husband. Could it be that you really disliked him?"

"I don’t know, but they said I got hurt protecting him. It seems like we had a good relationship. I just don’t get how I ended up liking this unambitious guy."

"Unambitious... Yingying, your husband is quite extraordinary. Because you got hurt, in anger, he went to Japan, almost dismantling a major gang organization, even killing the boss. The whole thing ended in appeasement when your husband let them go. This even alarmed the Central Government. Whoever wants to mess with you now has to consider if they can withstand your husband’s wrath."

"Really? Is he that powerful?" Xu Yingying’s eyes widened.

"You’re really something," He Fangqing shook her head, "Yifei may act casual in the company, but he used to be quite a significant figure. Now, for you, he’s shaken the global underworld. You say he’s ordinary, then who could be exceptional?"

"If that’s the case, why did you let him be with me?" Xu Yingying stared at He Fangqing again.

Everyone exchanged information. During a chat with Su Yiyi, Xu Yingying learned of He Fangqing and Li Yifei’s relationship, so they informally notified He Fangqing. He Fangqing smiled and said, "I’m a divorced woman. With your husband, it was just a fling, nothing emotional. You’re my best friend, and you’re well-matched with him. Why should I interfere? There are plenty of men in the world. If I’m lonely, I’ll go to a bar and have my pick."

"Don’t joke; I know who you are and you’re not that casual. I mean, Fangqing, I feel nothing for my marriage with Yifei. If you like him, you have every right to be with him."

"You’d hand over your husband?" He Fangqing was amused, wrapping her arm around Xu Yingying’s shoulder, saying, "You’re teasing me. Whether or not Yifei agrees, I know my limits. I’m not qualified to be his wife. If you remember the past, just keep me as a good friend."

"I’m serious," Xu Yingying said earnestly, "To me now, he feels like a stranger. Him living in my house as such a big man, it feels awkward."

"He’s your husband, you know. While you were in a coma, he carelessly took perfect care of you, care that no ordinary man would offer. If it were someone else, they might have left you. Now you’ve finally woken, and you’re pushing him away. It just seems off."

Xu Yingying paused, never considering that perspective. If what He Fangqing said was true, Li Yifei’s feelings for her were profound. Just for taking care of someone in a coma, she shouldn’t treat him harshly.
