Chapter 941: Chapter 982: Holding Hands Again

The next day, Li Yifei and Su Mengxin got up a bit later and came down from upstairs to find everyone already in the first-floor hall.

"Congratulations, Sister Mengxin!" Everyone said in unison the moment they saw the two descending, each with smiles on their faces.

"Thank you all." Su Mengxin wasn’t very embarrassed; instead, she smiled happily at everyone.

Chu Xiaoyao bounced over, took Su Mengxin’s arm, and winked, asking, "Sister Mengxin, did you have fun last night?"

Su Mengxin laughed and responded, "Don’t you know?"

"How would I know, Uncle hasn’t taken me yet," Chu Xiaoyao pouted and then sized up Su Mengxin from head to toe, saying, "Sister Mengxin, isn’t the first time supposed to be really painful? Plus, with Uncle’s tossing and turning, you shouldn’t be able to walk."

Ning Xin’er laughed and said, "How could your uncle be that rough to leave you, Mengxin, unable to get out of bed? That might be a concern for later."

Watching everyone joking with Su Mengxin, Li Yifei felt extremely content inside. This proved their good relationship. Otherwise, with such a development, there would be a sour atmosphere.

Although it was the weekend, Xu Yingying was still planning to go to the company. Her business trip had now ended, and she needed to organize some research data as well as discuss matters with He Fangqing. By tomorrow, when work officially resumed, she would return to her formal duties at the company.

Li Yifei offered to accompany Xu Yingying to the company. He had learned a lot of theoretical aspects about company management recently but still found some practical aspects puzzling. Studying Dreamfly Company’s actual situation with Xu Yingying was a tremendous help to him.

Xu Yingying was naturally thrilled and went to the company with Li Yifei.

The previous day, Chu Xiaoyao hadn’t accounted for He Fangqing when she listed the people at home, prompting Xu Yingying to suddenly remember, "Husband, haven’t you thought about Sister Fangqing? Now that there are so many people at home and she was with you the earliest, aren’t you going to save her a spot?"

Li Yifei said, "My dear wife, you are so magnanimous, I don’t even know what to say."

Xu Yingying rolled her eyes at Li Yifei and said, "You think I want to be magnanimous? But it’s already like this. Even if I get petty or push you, it’s useless. The only thing I can do is accept it. I’m being serious, how do you plan to deal with Fangqing?"

"Fangqing’s situation isn’t that I don’t want her to be with me, it’s that she has her own thoughts, and I can’t force it," he replied.

"I know Sister Fangqing’s thoughts—the main reason is that she’s too close to me, which makes her uncomfortable to step in. Also, she feels somewhat inferior due to her past divorce. Don’t you clearly know how she feels about you?"

"Alright, this time I’ll have a proper talk with her." Li Yifei readily agreed.

"Okay, it’s all on you now. But let me make myself clear. I’ve accepted these people, but if you mess around in the future, you won’t get off easy."

"There won’t be another time." Li Yifei’s response was straightforward. With so many wives who were still so good to him, he had no interest in any other women out there.

Upon arriving at the company, the place was very quiet, as it was the weekend and only a few security guards were on duty on the first floor.

The two directly headed to the fourth floor. Passing by He Fangqing’s office, they saw her inside, and Xu Yingying immediately pushed the door and entered. He Fangqing looked up, smiling, "The little couple has come together."

Xu Yingying replied with a smile, "You’ve been run ragged this month. It’s my turn to help ease your burden. Otherwise, our husband would be worried."

He Fangqing paused, "Your husband should be the one worried about you, not me."

Xu Yingying smiled slightly, "Aren’t you also my husband’s lover? How could he not worry?"

He Fangqing was taken aback by Xu Yingying’s words, while Li Yifei then cheerfully interjected, "Yingying has recovered her memory."

He Fangqing was overjoyed and exclaimed, "That’s great news! Congratulations, Yingying."

Xu Yingying pouted, "I might as well continue with the amnesia. Back then, this guy was only my husband. Now, there’s a bunch of people vying for him."

He Fangqing chuckled and remarked, "That just shows your husband’s charm."

"Let’s not talk about that right now; we should get to work quickly," Xu Yingying shifted the topic.

He Fangqing quickly added, "Michelle will be here soon too. She’s been a great help to me recently. I couldn’t have managed without her."

Mentioning Michelle, Xu Yingying gave Li Yifei another glance. Li Yifei responded with an awkward smile. Among the women he had come into contact with, Michelle was the only one who loved him but had never been with him.

Lately, he hadn’t met with Michelle or had any contact with her. Although Li Yifei hadn’t been thinking about her, the moment He Fangqing brought her up, he couldn’t describe the strange feeling that stirred in his heart.

Just after mentioning Michelle, there was a knock at the door, and then Michelle walked in. Seeing Xu Yingying and Li Yifei in the office, Michelle paused in surprise.

"President Xu, you’re back," Michelle greeted Xu Yingying in haste but only nodded at Li Yifei.

Michelle was wearing a long dress today, a pale green one that Li Yifei had once bought for her. She looked somewhat pale and weary, which was particularly noticeable.

Xu Yingying then said, "Michelle, are you feeling unwell?"

Michelle quickly replied, "No, I’m fine."

At this point, He Fangqing added, "Michelle has been working like her life depends on it, staying until midnight. No matter how much I advise her, she doesn’t listen."

Xu Yingying frowned slightly, saying, "Michelle, work isn’t something you can finish in a day or two. You can’t push yourself so hard. If you exhaust yourself, our company will be short of a vital member." She then glanced at Li Yifei.

Everyone clearly understood that Michelle’s recent workaholic behavior was actually due to her romantic issues with Li Yifei. Michelle liked Li Yifei, but due to her family’s conservative values, she couldn’t be with him like others. Therefore, her solution was to immerse herself in work to avoid thinking about him.

Michelle gave a light shake of her head and managed a smile, saying, "Don’t worry, President Xu, I’m fine. I actually feel quite happy working now."

Xu Yingying internally sighed, not expecting Michelle to react this way, and after glancing once more at Li Yifei, she said, "Alright then, let’s get to work."

Recently, most of the company work had been handled by He Fangqing and Michelle. Although Xu Yingying had returned a few times, there was still a backlog of work. Once the three of them started to work, they quickly entered a state of flow.

Li Yifei, unlike before, did not sit idly by; he was fully engaged in the work. The four of them gathered around, temporarily setting aside any romantic matters and working conscientiously.

After studying for over an hour, Xu Yingying assigned some tasks to Li Yifei, asking Michelle to assist him while she and He Fangqing delved into other matters.

The two of them moved the documents to the coffee table and sat side by side on the sofa. Because of their prior focus, there was no awkwardness between them, and Michelle continued to explain things to Li Yifei attentively.

"Ah, I understand now," said Li Yifei after grasping a piece of managerial knowledge with Michelle’s help. He reached out to grab a document beside him, and at the same time, Michelle also went to grab it, resulting in Li Yifei’s hand landing on the back of Michelle’s hand.

Michelle’s hand tensed up instantly, her mouth agape as if frozen, not moving at all.

A touch on the hand was usually insignificant, but Michelle’s reaction caught Li Yifei off guard. After five or six seconds, Li Yifei withdrew his hand, apologetically saying, "Sorry."

A blush spread across Michelle’s cheeks as she softly said, "It’s nothing, let’s continue with this."

Li Yifei nodded, and they both focused on the document again. However, Michelle could no longer immerse herself in work like before and would occasionally get distracted.

"Honey, Michelle, it’s already noon. Would you mind getting us some takeout? We won’t go out for lunch," Xu Yingying said.

"Sure!" Li Yifei responded and stood up. After a moment of hesitation, Michelle also stood up and then the two left He Fangqing’s office in silence.

Walking ahead in silence, Michelle kept her head down, appearing a bit out of sorts. When they arrived at the staircase, she seemed unaware of the steps ahead, stepping forward as if on level ground. Her foot missed the step, eliciting a gasp as she nearly fell.

Li Yifei was right beside Michelle and couldn’t let her fall. He reached out and pulled her back, and instinctively, Michelle wrapped her arms around Li Yifei’s waist, burying her head in his chest.

"Michelle, are you okay?" Li Yifei asked softly.

"Ah... I... I’m fine!" Michelle quickly let go of Li Yifei and took a step back, nearly falling again, but fortunately, Li Yifei caught her hand.

"Brother Li... I... I’m fine," Michelle said softly, trying to withdraw her hand, but without success. As she looked up at Li Yifei, her eyes conveyed a complex expression of surprise, panic, and an unmistakable, ill-concealed joy.

Li Yifei had only been concerned about preventing her from falling again, but seeing Michelle’s gaze, he suddenly felt that letting go of her hand would be cruel. He smiled gently at her, saying, "Let’s go, we’ll get something to eat," and led her downstairs while still holding her hand.
