Chapter 859: Chapter 900: The More One Tries to Defend Oneself, the Worse It Gets
Li Yifei didn’t notice the blush on Meng Xiaofei’s face. Seeing that Meng Xiaofei was smiling as usual, he shook his head and said, "You’re like a child who never grows up. Even Xiaoyao doesn’t worry me as much as you do. You’re grown up yet still can’t take care of yourself. I really don’t know if someone will kick you out after marrying you."
Meng Xiaofei said proudly, "What you said is quite right. I can’t cook nor do chores. Whoever marries me will be unlucky for eight lifetimes, so to avoid harming others, I just won’t get married. I’ll just freeload in your house instead."
"You really have a thick face, planning to freeload for a lifetime?"
"Anyway, you have so many women, one more is just one more mouth to feed, and you’re so rich, it won’t make a difference."
Li Yifei was amused by Meng Xiaofei’s teasing and laughed even harder. "Alright, alright, you won’t make a difference."
As they walked towards home, Meng Xiaofei followed up with another question, "Brother Li, how do you plan to deal with him? Don’t let it affect your business because of me. If it really can’t be helped, then just wait until your business is finished before you take care of him. That’s also fine."
Li Yifei smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I really can’t do anything to him."
"Alright, then. If you can’t deal with it, you can’t. It’s as if I was touched by an animal, bitten by a fly, nibbled by a mouse..."
Li Yifei broke out in a sweat hearing Meng Xiaofei’s increasingly ugly descriptions and finally couldn’t bear it anymore, "Xiaofei, stop cursing. That person was me."
"What?" Meng Xiaofei finally stopped her tirade and, puzzled, turned to look at Li Yifei.
Li Yifei glared at Meng Xiaofei and said annoyed, "The one who touched you on the plane today was me."
"You? How is that possible? Could I not recognize you?" Meng Xiaofei was even more confused, examining Li Yifei from top to bottom.
"I was on a mission and couldn’t let others recognize me to avoid trouble later, so I had a disguise on, and I couldn’t admit it was me at that time. You wanted me to stand up for you, how could I help you? You really went too far with the insults just now."
Meng Xiaofei stared at Li Yifei and asked, "Was it really you?"
Li Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense, what’s false about that? Do you think I have nothing better to do than to claim such a thing for no reason?"
"Then why did you touch my chest?"
This question nearly made Li Yifei bash his head in frustration. Helplessly, he said, "Do you mean to tell me that if you knew it was me, you’d still think I did it on purpose?"
Meng Xiaofei stuck out her tongue and said, "Well, you’re right. If you wanted to touch, there are plenty of chances; you wouldn’t need to sneakily do it in that situation. Wait..." Meng Xiaofei suddenly looked at Li Yifei with a strange expression and giggled mischievously, "I’ve heard some men have weird fetishes. They get more excited by taking advantage of women in crowded places. Brother Li, you don’t have such a deviant preference, do you?"
"Meng Xiaofei..." Li Yifei gritted his teeth and glared at Meng Xiaofei.
Meng Xiaofei shrank back, then giggled and said, "Brother Li, don’t be angry. I’m just kidding. I know you have no deviant preferences. You were trying to protect me from that guy taking advantage of me and then accidentally did it yourself. Hehe, if someone else took advantage of me, I would be angry, but if you did, then it’s fine. I’m not angry at all. You can take advantage whenever you want however you want... Hey, Brother Li, don’t go. Wait for me!"
Unable to stand it anymore, Li Yifei strode away, ignoring the girl with the unbridled mouth, while Meng Xiaofei hastily called out, chasing after him.
Seeing Li Yifei return, Ye Yunzhu, Ning Xin’er, Su Yiyi, and Chu Xiaoyao in the living room were all quite excited. However, seeing Li Yifei with a dark expression followed by a very guilty-looking Meng Xiaofei, they were all puzzled. They had never seen any conflict between Meng Xiaofei and Li Yifei before, and it was clear that Li Yifei was angry with Meng Xiaofei, which was quite strange.
"Hey, hey, brother, I didn’t mean to make you angry on purpose. I know you have no deviant preferences. You touching my chest shows you’re a totally normal man. My chest is so big; it seems like any man would want to touch it."
Meng Xiaofei’s comment caused everyone in the room to stare at Li Yifei in unison, their expressions priceless.
Ye Yunzhu was the first to express dissatisfaction, "Hey, I’m talking to you, Li Yifei. Even rabbits don’t eat the grass by their own burrow. You’re so familiar with Xiaofei, and yet you actually made a move on her?"
Now, although Ning Xin’er was very attached to Li Yifei and usually didn’t lose her temper with him as before, she still spoke with a hint of disbelief, "Right, you touched and then had such an expression, as if Xiaofei owes you something. Isn’t that a bit...too much?"
Chu Xiaoyao approached Meng Xiaofei, suddenly stretched out her hand, and groped Meng Xiaofei’s chest, which elicited a shriek from Meng Xiaofei. Chu Xiaoyao, however, said with a giggly smile, "The feel is really nice."
"Stinky Xiaoyao, what are you doing?" Meng Xiaofei hugged her chest defensively, quite frustrated.
"Hehe, if Uncle touches your chest, I also must check the feel, I’ve always thought that your breasts are quite satisfying."
Only then did Meng Xiaofei realize that saying something like this would cause trouble for Li Yifei. She stuck her tongue out at Li Yifei and quickly said, "Don’t misjudge everyone, Brother Li didn’t touch me on purpose, it was just an accident, an accident."
But Meng Xiaofei’s explanation didn’t convince anyone. Ye Yunzhu rolled her eyes at Li Yifei and said, "A pervert is a pervert. Even now at home, you haven’t sorted things out, and you are going after something new."
Li Yifei really felt defeated by Meng Xiaofei and just sat down on the couch, saying, "This girl, you really can’t help her. Try to help her once and it gets me into all kinds of trouble."
Seeing everyone giving Li Yifei a hard time, Meng Xiaofei said with a chuckle, "You all got it wrong. Here’s what happened..."
After Meng Xiaofei recounted the incident, everyone understood what had happened and couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time. However, Meng Xiaofei’s indiscreet way of getting Li Yifei into such an embarrassing situation also became an amusing story.
While Meng Xiaofei was explaining, Li Yifei had already sat next to Ye Yunzhu and was caressing her prominently swollen belly, feeling the movements of the little life inside, which brought him an indescribable sense of peace.
Ye Yunzhu hadn’t quite experienced such a feeling these days and was holding some gloomy resentment in her heart. As the due date approached, she yearned more and more for Li Yifei’s presence, yet these days Li Yifei simply couldn’t come by. His sudden visit today took her by surprise as she asked, "How come you’re here?"
Li Yifei felt quite remorseful and said, "I had just got back from going out. Seeing there was still time, I wanted to check on everyone first."
Ye Yunzhu gave Li Yifei a look and said, "Do you even have us in your heart?"
Chu Xiaoyao also pouted her lips and added, "Yeah, Uncle, you don’t come to accompany us. We really miss you."
Li Yifei looked at them and didn’t know what to say. To say sorry seemed too insincere, but making a promise to frequently accompany them seemed like something he couldn’t fulfill. His mouth opened a few times, but no words came out.
Seeing Li Yifei like this, everyone couldn’t bear it. Ning Xin’er said, "We know your difficulties. None of us will force you, but you have to find an excuse to talk to us, especially Yunzhu. She needs you the most right now."
Su Yiyi, who normally would never speak up about such matters, content just to see Li Yifei, also said today, "Yes, Sister Yunzhu is about to give birth. You really should... spend more time with her."
But Ye Yunzhu just snorted and said, "Who needs him? When Xin’er was having her baby, he wasn’t there either. Now that I have all of you living with me, I’m much better off than Xin’er was. What do I need him for?"
Li Yifei looked over each of them and suddenly felt that his recent actions may have indeed gone too far. He couldn’t neglect everyone just because of Xu Yingying. Taking a deep breath, Li Yifei firmly said, "I will resolve the matter with Yingying as soon as possible. I won’t let the people who like me, the people I like, feel heartbroken."
Although it was just a promise, everyone clearly sensed the change in Li Yifei’s attitude. They hadn’t been hard on Li Yifei recently, but there still lingered a bit of gloominess in their hearts. Even if they all shared one man, if that man only focused on one woman, neglecting the others, even the emperors’ harem in the past would have caused a commotion. The fact that Li Yifei’s house didn’t erupt into chaos was already a significant achievement.
Moreover, Li Yifei had not shown a positive attitude before, and now that he finally had, it gave everyone a glimmer of hope, significantly reducing their previous resentment toward him.
"Uncle, there’s still time before Sister Yingying gets off work. How about... we..." Chu Xiaoyao winked at Li Yifei, casting a flirtatious fox-like glance his way.
Su Yiyi and Ning Xin’er both blushed, while Meng Xiaofei immediately yelled, "Oh my, this is not suitable for children, I’m outta here!" She then dashed back to her room.
There was a sense of awkwardness among them, but no one wanted to give up this rare opportunity. Even though no one spoke up, their looks and expressions already revealed a deep longing.
Li Yifei stood up, gave everyone a slight smile, and said, "We still have plenty of time; why don’t we do something?"
"That’s enough, you cheeky man. Today, I’ll make you go home with wobbly legs. Sisters, let’s do this!" Ye Yunzhu waved her hand, leading the way upstairs with her big belly.
