Chapter 866: 907 Chapter: Resignation

"No... no good!" Xu Yingying quickly moved to the side, pressing the quilt between them tightly with both hands, fearing that Li Yifei would pounce on her.

Li Yifei indeed moved closer to Xu Yingying and said, "Wife, it’s been so many days, can’t we at least kiss?"

"No... No way! I said no means no! Besides, your lips have kissed Michelle, and you still want to kiss me, that’s even more unacceptable."

Finding this reason, Xu Yingying suddenly felt empowered and glared fiercely at Li Yifei.

This indeed left Li Yifei speechless, and he chuckled sulkily, "Alright, alright, let’s go to sleep then."

"Hmph, I warn you, although I can overlook the matter between you and Michelle, I’m still very dissatisfied with your behavior. I’ll continue to observe, and only when I’m satisfied will I let you..."

"Let me do what?" Li Yifei immediately asked with a smiley face.

"Hmph, at most I’ll let you kiss me, don’t get your hopes too high."

Li Yifei chuckled, feeling quite pleased that Xu Yingying was already making progress; his initial expectation was that it would take much longer for their marital relationship to truly recover. Now, it seemed that in another ten or fifteen days, Xu Yingying might really accept him as her husband again.

But what worried Li Yifei was that Ye Yunzhu was about to give birth in less than half a month, and he still couldn’t be there to support Ye Yunzhu properly, which was very tough on her.

Now, he really had no solution; given Xu Yingying’s current state, even if their affection significantly increased and they became a loving couple, Xu Yingying would only keep a tighter watch on him and not let him have relationships with other women.

That night, Xu Yingying slept very soundly. Although she couldn’t remember how things used to be when Li Yifei was her husband, they had lived as husband and wife for over half a year, and their bodies were very familiar with each other. Even if she hadn’t realized it, her body’s reactions were telling.

A clear sign was during the Chinese New Year holidays when they slept in the same bed every day. This time, when Li Yifei was not at home, she felt somewhat uncomfortable. Having Li Yifei in bed made her feel secure, listening to his breathing and even his slight snoring was a pleasure. Thus, tonight, she used that as an excuse to let Li Yifei sleep in the same bed with her again.

The next morning, Xu Yingying woke up to find herself nestled in Li Yifei’s arms. Though not entangled with his limbs as before, she was still close against Li Yifei.

Habit becomes nature. Although Xu Yingying felt a bit shy, she wasn’t too embarrassed and got out of bed directly, which made them even more like a married couple.

Xu Yingying arrived at the office, had just sat down when her secretary said Michelle had come. Xu Yingying immediately remembered Li Yifei’s swollen lips from yesterday and felt a bit uncomfortable, but she still let Michelle in.

"President Xu! I’ve come to resign." Michelle approached Xu Yingying’s desk, placed an envelope on it, and pushed it towards Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying didn’t take it; instead, she stared at Michelle and said sternly, "Give me a reason."

Michelle bit her lip and lowered her head, "President Xu, I feel that my abilities are insufficient, and I’m not fit for this position, which is why I want to resign."

"Is that so? If that’s the case, then I cannot approve. I’m very clear about your work capabilities, and I have more right to speak about whether you’re fit for the position than anyone else." At that moment, Xu Yingying was the decisive and authoritative boss, speaking in a way that brooked no denial.

Intimidated by Xu Yingying’s aura, Michelle said softly, "President Xu, yesterday..."

"Michelle, we came to this company together to struggle and strive. You’re here to work for this company, not to work for emotions."

"But... but yesterday Brother Li proposed to me, and I... I truly feel like I can no longer face you. I really don’t know how to continue working at this company."

Xu Yingying snorted, "You’re right; if we’re talking purely about personal feelings, Li Yifei is my husband, and he proposed to you and even kissed you last night. I find these things very hard to accept."

"Ah?" Michelle opened her mouth wide in shock, staring dumbly at Xu Yingying, her face flush red. She hadn’t anticipated at all that her kiss with Li Yifei would come to Xu Yingying’s knowledge. After a moment of stunned silence, she became frantic and hurriedly said, "President Xu... This really isn’t Brother Li’s fault. I decided to leave and never see Brother Li again, so I... couldn’t help but fulfill a dream of mine and kissed him. Please, don’t blame him."

Suddenly, Xu Yingying slammed the table and demanded, "Michelle, you need to understand, business is business, personal is personal. I don’t want you to mix personal feelings into your work. Currently, the company is at a crucial stage of development. As a mid-level manager, you are critical to the company. Your departure would significantly impact the company. Do you understand?"

Michelle was left speechless, staring at Xu Yingying without a word.

Xu Yingying snorted again and continued, "True, you love Li Yifei, and he is my husband. Normally speaking, you’re my rival in love, and your presence is a threat to me. But do you think Xu Yingying would be afraid of you taking my husband? If you really have that capability, then I accept it. But if you can’t, then it’s just your lack of capability. However, due to this, you want to resign and leave—that I will never agree to."

Michelle bit her lip, her face slowly taking on a resolute expression. She had always greatly admired Xu Yingying, admired her work style, and admired her capabilities. Now, with Xu Yingying speaking like this, her admiration had reached its peak, igniting her courage.

"President Xu, I understand. I will work hard and separate my personal feelings from my work."

"That’s more like it, good. Now go back to work."

Michelle acknowledged and turned, striding towards the door. But when she reached the door, she stopped, turned around, and said: "President Xu, I will work hard. My personal feelings, I promise to manage them, and I will absolutely not bother Brother Li again."

Xu Yingying smiled slightly, "I’ve said it before, I don’t mind. Liking someone is your right, but I also have the right to protect my family."

Michelle flashed a sweet smile, "Thank you, President Xu!" Then, she went out swiftly, and a hurried yet rhythmic clacking of high heels echoed from outside.
