Chapter 841: Chapter 882 Li Yifei’s Thoughtfulness

Li Yifei had never been one to lust after money, otherwise, with his abilities and the positions he’d held before, accessing cash would have been a piece of cake. Yet, he only amassed tens of millions for his retirement, no more than necessary.

But now, things were different. He wanted to establish a big family, to create a stable living environment for his wife and children, to provide them with better opportunities in the future—suddenly, he found himself driven by greed.

After discussing with Xu Shanshan for a while, both were immensely happy. If it weren’t for an employee seeking signatures, they would have continued talking.

Li Yifei hadn’t been at the factory for days and had accumulated quite a backlog, especially from those waiting for his signing. Knowing that he was back, they all rushed over, and Li Yifei spent the entire afternoon bustling about.

After work, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan drove home together. Dinner was ready, but Xu Yingying still hadn’t returned. Xu Shanshan called her sister, only to learn that she was working overtime and would be home late.

"My sister really loses herself in her work once she gets going," Xu Shanshan complained. "She was a workaholic even before marrying you, and although she slightly changed after the marriage, now she’s even worse—overtime every day. It’s unbelievable."

Li Yifei frowned, "She’s been working overtime every day?"

"Yes, every day until past ten at night."

Li Yifei furrowed his brow, "Then I’ll go and check on her."

Xu Shanshan, eager to be affectionate with Li Yifei at that moment, nonetheless fully supported his concern for her sister, "Then why don’t you take dinner to her? You’re practically courting our elder sister all over again. Last time, you weren’t proactive enough, this time you should step it up."

Li Yifei nodded repeatedly, "You’re right, I should take the initiative."

As there were no lunchboxes at home, Li Yifei hurried out to buy one. He then picked a few of Xu Yingying’s favorite dishes, filled four lunchboxes, and left home with them.

Upon reaching the company, the duty security guard, Meng Lei, saw Li Yifei arriving with the lunchboxes and excitedly exclaimed, "Bro, you even brought food for me?"

Li Yifei rolled his eyes, "Go get your own food; I’m delivering this to the boss."

Meng Lei stuck out his tongue. He knew their boss was also Li Yifei’s wife, but he dared not gossip, chuckling instead, "Go ahead then. Both President Xu and Director He are there."

Li Yifei nodded and after acknowledging the other two security guards, he headed upstairs.

"Hey, Lei, why is Manager Li delivering food to our boss? That rumor isn’t true, is it?" one security guard nudged Meng Lei with a gossip-thirsty look.

Meng Lei puffed out his chest, "Don’t talk nonsense. My brother and the boss have always been on good terms. Even if they’re just friends, it’s normal to bring some food, right? Maybe President Xu specifically asked our brother to bring something. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Although a bit simple, Meng Lei wasn’t foolish. Working at the company for over two months had broadened his horizons. He spoke so competently that the other two security guards couldn’t fault him.

Li Yifei reached the fourth floor, treading lightly. The lights in Xu Yingying’s office were on; clearly, Xu Yingying and He Fangqing were inside.

He knocked gently on the door, holding the lunchboxes, feeling unexpectedly warm-hearted. He had never delivered food to his wife before, and doing it now was somewhat exhilarating.

"Come in!" Xu Yingying’s voice called from inside.

Li Yifei pushed open the door to see Xu Yingying and He Fangqing absorbed in some documents on the desk, paying him no mind.

Without a word, Li Yifei set the lunchboxes on the coffee table and began opening them. The aroma of the food finally made Xu Yingying and He Fangqing turn their attention toward him.

He Fangqing looked surprised while Xu Yingying seemed somewhat uneasy, asking, "What are you doing here?"

Li Yifei replied cheerfully, "Seeing the two workaholics probably skipping meals, I had to bring you food. If you two beauties grew thin, it would be my fault."

Xu Yingying and He Fangqing had been deeply focused on their work and hadn’t felt hungry. Now, smelling the food made their stomachs rumble. He Fangqing laughed, "Yingying, look at your husband, he’s so thoughtful."

Xu Yingying laughed awkwardly, "Don’t even start. I think he’s being thoughtful for you."

He Fangqing giggled, "Well, he is your husband, not yours."

"Let’s not talk about it anymore, between you two... you are actually his real wife, after dinner, you might as well go home with him to avoid waiting here anxiously."

He Fangqing couldn’t help but smile and said, "You really forget everything so cleanly, even willing to give up such a good husband. But even if you are willing to let him go, I wouldn’t dare to take him, as he only has you in his heart."

Li Yifei watched the two of them talking, feeling it was somewhat similar to when he and Xu Yingying had first met, and cheerily said, "Stop joking around and come over to eat, or it’ll get cold soon."

Finally, they both sat down, and Li Yifei handed chopsticks to each of them. When he handed the chopsticks to Xu Yingying, their fingers touched briefly, and Xu Yingying immediately withdrew her hand, her face even turning slightly red as she said softly, "Thank you."

Li Yifei was surprised, but a strange feeling also instantly welled up in his heart. Although he and Xu Yingying were already very familiar with each other, Xu Yingying’s reaction gave him another kind of feeling, indescribable and somewhat sad, yet also sweet.

He Fangqing secretly winked at Li Yifei. Seeing Xu Yingying and Li Yifei like this, she really found it amusing and laughed, "Looking at you two, it reminds me of those old days before marriage where couples wouldn’t even see each other. I guess even if they were married, they would still interact shyly at the beginning."

Li Yifei laughed, "It really is quite similar."

Xu Yingying glared at Li Yifei and said, "Don’t talk nonsense."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Yes yes, my dear wife, please eat."

Xu Yingying rolled her eyes at Li Yifei and then bowed her head to eat. Even though she couldn’t remember Li Yifei as her husband, the bright red marriage certificate made it clear to her that Li Yifei was definitely her husband. Moreover, she had secretly checked her own body, she was no longer a virgin, which meant she had intimate relations with Li Yifei. This made her feel even more awkward around Li Yifei. These past days when Li Yifei was not home, she felt quite relaxed, but as soon as Li Yifei returned, she felt unsure about how to face him again.

"Eat more meat, don’t just eat vegetables, you need to intake more nutrients with your busy workload," Li Yifei said, sitting opposite the two, also holding a pair of chopsticks and carefully serving food to Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying, feeling truly uneasy about Li Yifei’s attentiveness, hurriedly said, "I can serve myself."

Li Yifei had to put down his chopsticks and said, "Then eat a little more."

In the past, Li Yifei’s care would naturally extend to He Fangqing too, but now he could only temporarily refrain from showing any attention to He Fangqing.

This, however, seemed to console Xu Yingying somewhat; it appeared that although Li Yifei used to be quite uncontrollable, after marriage, he turned out to be quite honest.

Who knows what Xu Yingying would think if she knew that Li Yifei was now not only dishonest but also had created such a large harem.

He Fangqing didn’t mind this situation; she had never hoped to live day-to-day with Li Yifei. Even if Li Yifei brought other women home, she only wanted to be an outsider. As long as Li Yifei could occasionally remember her and take a look at her, that was enough.

After they finished eating, Li Yifei brought over some warm water for them. He Fangqing smiled and said, "Yifei, well done, you deserve some praise."

Li Yifei smiled, "That’s right, I have to perform well now, so even if Yingying doesn’t remember our past, she can slowly accept me as her husband."

Xu Yingying’s face turned red, and she grumbled, "Alright, we’ve finished eating, you should head back now, don’t disturb our work here."

Li Yifei shrugged, tidied up the things, and then turned to leave.

At that time, He Fangqing joked, "You know, Yingying, you’re really lucky, getting to fall in love again and letting this guy chase you once more."

Xu Yingying gave a bitter smile and said, "Lucky? I’m just feeling very awkward now; I really don’t know how to face him."

"Take it slowly, after all, he is legally your husband."

"I know that legally he is, but it’s really hard for my heart to accept. Alright, let’s stop talking about him and focus on our work."

The two of them got down to business until 10:30 before they stopped. They came out of the company and saw Li Yifei standing at the company entrance, leaning on a car. He was just tossing away a cigarette butt and said to them, "Ladies, you’ve finally come out. Get in the car quickly, it’s cold outside, I’ve kept the car running, and it’s warm inside."

Xu Yingying’s heart warmed at the thought of how cold it was outside, and Li Yifei had been waiting for her all this time. Moreover, knowing she disliked the smell of cigarettes, he smoked outside the car, an attention to detail that was indeed quite rare.

Having such a husband didn’t seem to be a bad thing, Xu Yingying thought for the first time since she had woken up.
