Chapter 942: Chapter 983: Couple Shirts

Michelle was genuinely dizzy. What did Li Yifei mean by holding her hand?

But at that moment, Michelle really didn’t dare to ask. Li Yifei’s hand was so warm, and the feeling of being held was so pleasant. She feared that if she asked, Li Yifei might let go of her. She had been working relentlessly these days just to forget about Li Yifei, to erase the affection she had for him. But now she realized that she couldn’t forget him at all; those feelings were deeply embedded in her marrow.

As they walked down the stairs, several security guards saw Li Yifei holding Michelle’s hand and showed knowing smiles. However, one person was staring wide-eyed at Li Yifei—it was Li Yifei’s cousin, Meng Lei. This kid knew that Li Yifei’s wives were Xu Yingying and Ning Xin’er, so he didn’t believe the rumors about Li Yifei and Michelle at all. But now, seeing Li Yifei holding Michelle’s hand, he was completely confused.

"Good day, President Li, Manager Mi, are you two going out together?" the security guards greeted with a hint of playfulness in their tone.

Michelle was startled and finally snapped out of her reverie. She quickly withdrew her hand from Li Yifei’s grip, her face flushed, too embarrassed to look at the security guards.

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Michelle and I are going out to buy some things. Carry on with your work." Then he led Michelle out of the company, not wanting to explain anything to Meng Lei at the moment.

"Brother Li..." Once they were outside the company, Michelle walked beside Li Yifei, biting her lower lip, and called out softly.

"What is it?" Li Yifei turned and smiled at her.

"I... just now..."

Li Yifei chuckled again, saying, "Michelle, you are a manager now. Why are you still so hesitant when speaking?"

A sudden feeling of grievance welled up inside Michelle, and her eyes reddened. She choked up and said, "In front of Brother Li, I am just a small woman."

Li Yifei sighed inwardly, stretched out his arm, and wrapped it around Michelle’s shoulder. Michelle paused, staring at Li Yifei with a startled expression, her lips quivering but no sound coming out.

As Li Yifei walked forward with his arm around Michelle, he spoke softly, "Michelle, seeing you like this today really breaks my heart. I never intended for you to get hurt like this."

"I... I haven’t... I’m fine, just... tired from work." Michelle followed Li Yifei’s steps, trying to explain, but the feeling of grievance was too strong to resist, and tears began flowing unchecked.

Li Yifei stopped walking, raised his hand to wipe away Michelle’s tears, but fresh tears quickly streamed down her face, making him feel even worse. He stretched both arms, embracing her tightly, and gently patted her back, saying, "If you want to cry, just let it out. It’ll be all right after you’ve cried."

"Uhh..." Michelle could no longer hold back, first crying softly, then bursting into loud sobs.

It was the weekend, and not many people were around the company. Although a few passed by on the streets, most just glanced at them without interrupting. To any observer, they looked like a couple, and even if the girl was crying, it was their personal affair. Nowadays, people tend to mind their own business.

After about ten minutes, Michelle’s crying finally ceased. She gently pushed Li Yifei away, wiped her eyes, and said apologetically, "Brother Li, I’m sorry."

Li Yifei smiled faintly, and said, "Don’t keep things bottled up. It’s better to talk about it, to cry it out."

"Okay!" Michelle nodded and said, "I feel much better now. Oh, Brother Li, your shirt is all dirty."

The front of Li Yifei’s shirt was already wet, but he didn’t mind and laughed, "A wash will take care of it."

"But... but if Sister Yingying sees it when I get home, it’ll be hard to explain."

"What’s there to explain? Just say some water got on it. Later, I’ll buy a bottle of mineral water and splash more on, so no one can tell it’s from tears."

Michelle laughed out loud at that, saying, "Brother Li, who splashes water on their own clothes? There’s a store front, let’s go there and buy a new one, it’ll look better that way."

Li Yifei readily agreed, and together they went to the clothing store. However, the store didn’t sell business attire, only sportswear, so they ended up picking out a yellow T-shirt for Li Yifei.

While Li Yifei was trying on clothes, the salesperson said to Michelle, "Madam, we have the same style in women’s clothing. If each of you wears one, it would be like a couple’s set. Your boyfriend looks good in this shirt, wouldn’t you like to pick one too?"

Michelle hesitated for a moment and asked, "Really?"

"Of course, true. You and your boyfriend wearing these shirts together will look even more well-matched when you go out."

Michelle bit her lip and said, "Then bring me one." She quickly specified her size.

The salesperson immediately brought her one, and Michelle said quickly, "Just wrap it up for me."

"Do you not want to try it on?"

"No need, no need, just pack it up quickly," Michelle urged the salesperson.

The salesperson was a bit puzzled, as women generally try on clothes back and forth, but this beauty didn’t even try them on, which was somewhat strange. However, since the customer wanted to buy it, she didn’t worry too much about it.

At that moment, Li Yifei had changed into his clothes and came out, asking Michelle, "How is it?"

"Not bad, really looks good," Michelle said with a smile.

Li Yifei laughed, "Haha, are you saying the clothes look good, or the person looks good?"

Michelle was amused by Li Yifei and said, "The clothes look good, and so do you. Good-looking clothes on a handsome guy look even better."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Alright, for that comment, I’ll buy this one."

Michelle rushed to pay, which of course included her own purchase, and Li Yifei didn’t compete with her to pay. Now, the cost of a piece of clothing wasn’t a big deal for Michelle.

"You bought one too? I didn’t see you try it on," Michelle said, holding a bag which naturally Li Yifei couldn’t miss.

"Yeah, I just picked one casually," Michelle said quickly, changing the subject, "Let’s hurry and get some food; we’ve been out for quite a while already."

The two then went to a nearby fast-food restaurant and ordered four boxed meals before heading back to the office.

Xu Yingying and He Fangqing were still discussing something at that time. Li Yifei had to intervene to stop them, and then they came over to eat.

"Hey, you changed your clothes?" Xu Yingying immediately noticed the yellow T-shirt on Li Yifei.

Li Yifei casually explained, "The previous one got dirty, so I just bought this one at a nearby store."

Xu Yingying gave Li Yifei a look and said, "You, always so careless," and then she didn’t dwell on it anymore.

Michelle felt relieved and continued to eat her food.

In the afternoon, Li Yifei and Michelle continued to work together. Michelle’s mood had clearly improved a lot, and she occasionally chatted with Li Yifei during work breaks and even managed a smile.

Li Yifei realized that Michelle was happier because of the release from years of suppression, which made him feel even more conflicted. Was he really doing the right thing by rejecting Michelle?

He didn’t agree to be with Michelle originally for her sake; after all, with so many people in his family, Michelle, being such a pure-hearted girl, deserved a good home. Being with him meant sharing him with others, and Li Yifei also knew that Michelle’s family was very traditional and would not agree to their relationship, which would make it very difficult for her. This was the main reason Li Yifei had never accepted Michelle.

But seeing how worn out Michelle had become recently made Li Yifei feel that his decision might not have been the right one.

Actually, Li Yifei didn’t know how he should treat Michelle now, but he really didn’t want to make her too sad. Knowing that doing so today could potentially complicate their relationship further, he still couldn’t bring himself to harden his heart and instead comforted Michelle with his actions.

Fortunately, Michelle didn’t bring up anything about their relationship, which spared Li Yifei from feeling too awkward.

After a busy day, it was past five in the afternoon before everyone was ready to leave. Michelle didn’t go with Li Yifei and the others; she declined a ride and took a taxi home alone.

Once home, Michelle went straight into her room, took out the yellow T-shirt, and tried it on.

Looking in the mirror, Michelle was very satisfied. The shirt fit perfectly, and she suddenly recalled seeing Li Yifei wear this T-shirt. Looking in the mirror, it somewhat appeared as if two people were standing there—one was Li Yifei, and the other was herself.

The two wearing matching shirts seemed so well-matched, which made Michelle somewhat infatuated, and a happy smile increasingly spread across her face.

"Brother Li, I know I can’t wear this shirt with you at the same time, but just knowing you wore this shirt makes me so happy, really... I’m so happy, Brother Li, do you know how much I like you? Every night I think of you, recalling every little detail of our time together, thinking of when we used to work together at that company, thinking of when we were on business trips, how you took care of me, thinking of that accident when we spent several days on the island, both of... naked... Brother Li, I will never forget you in this lifetime, I will always love you!"

Michelle talked to herself as if she were in a dream, wrapped in happiness, and the days of distress seemed to dissipate all at once.
