Once Li Yifei arrived at the company, he was immediately surrounded by many people, all of them eager to find out what had happened.
"It’s nothing, just the Public Security Bureau made a mistake, linking me to a case, but now they know I’m innocent, so I came back," Li Yifei said.
He didn’t mention the real situation and such an explanation was easier for everyone to accept. Even so, everyone sent their well wishes, as it was certainly something to celebrate to be released unharmed after being taken away by the Public Security Bureau.
Back in the office, colleagues continuously came to visit him, which touched Li Yifei’s heart. Whether it was genuine or pretense, after all, it was an expression of concern on the surface.
But what gave Li Yifei a headache was that everyone joked that he had gotten into trouble but managed to win Michelle’s heart, scoring a huge advantage.
The company’s three beauties—Xu Yingying, He Fangqing, and Michelle—with Michelle being the most down-to-earth. The male colleagues in the company loved to be around Michelle. Now that Michelle was seemingly taken, many were quite disappointed. While joking with Li Yifei, there was an undeniable hint of sourness in the tone of quite a few male colleagues.
Finally, after sending everyone away, it was noon. Everyone had finished eating in the company’s cafeteria. Li Yifei was thinking about going back to the office to rest when his cell phone rang.
"Director He, what’s the matter?" Li Yifei asked with all seriousness.
"Come to my office. I have something to talk to you about," He Fangqing’s voice was quite formal.
Li Yifei agreed and hung up the phone, said a quick word to two colleagues nearby, and then went to He Fangqing’s office on the fifth floor.
As soon as he entered, Li Yifei locked the door from the inside. When He Fangqing called him at this time, it wasn’t to talk about work—it must be because she missed him.
When it came to other women, Li Yifei’s heart would inevitably feel conflicted, but with He Fangqing, he felt very relaxed. Perhaps being with He Fangqing meant not being entangled with emotions.
At that moment, He Fangqing was sitting on the office sofa. As soon as Li Yifei locked the door, she said with a straight face, "What are you doing, locking the door as soon as you come in?"
Li Yifei directly sat next to He Fangqing, stretched an arm around her shoulder, leaned in, and gave her face a kiss, saying, "How can I be affectionate with you if I don’t lock the door?"
He Fangqing felt swayed by Li Yifei’s kiss, elbowed him, and scolded, "Still, last time Michelle almost caught us, and you dare to do this in the office?"
"It’s noon now, everyone is resting, no one will come."
Just then, He Fangqing’s phone suddenly rang. She hurriedly picked it up and answered, "President Xu, what’s up?"
"Sister Fangqing, you’re not in any trouble, are you?"
"No trouble, I’m fine."
"You really scared me. I knocked on your door just now, and you didn’t open it for ages, and there was a sound of you calling out."
He Fangqing’s face turned utterly embarrassed, "No, no, I fell asleep just now, maybe I was having a nightmare."
"Oh, then I’m disturbing you. I have something to tell you, so please open the door."
He Fangqing’s face darkened, intending to refuse, but Li Yifei patted her bottom and laughed, "Come on, stop pretending, go open the door."
"Ah, Li Yifei... you two..." Xu Yingying abruptly exclaimed over the phone.
He Fangqing gave Li Yifei a reproachful look and had to stand up, frantically straightening her clothes before moving to open the door.
Xu Yingying walked in and smelled a strong hormone scent in the office. She hadn’t been familiar with this scent before, but after play-acting with Li Yifei, she had gotten some of "that stuff" from him on her, and she knew the scent well, which immediately made her face turn crimson. Yet, she didn’t leave but instead casually closed the door behind her before coming in.
"Wow, you two really couldn’t wait, huh? In the office no less..." Xu Yingying had intended to say this with seriousness, but as she spoke, her own face turned red.
He Fangqing instantly felt awkward and said, "Yingying, we won’t do it again."
Xu Yingying quickly said, "I didn’t mean that, don’t get me wrong, Sister Fangqing, just... keep it down. I could hear your moans from the hallway just now. Luckily there was no one else there; it would have been really awkward if someone had heard."
He Fangqing felt even more embarrassed and said, "Alright, alright, I’ll be quieter next time."
Xu Yingying then turned to look at Li Yifei, who was nonchalantly smoking, his clothes disheveled and unattended to. She gave him a disapproving look and said, "Can’t you pay a little attention to your appearance? This is still the company, after all. I might not say anything about you and Fangqing, but you could at least tidy up your clothes. What would it look like if someone saw you?"
Li Yifei blew a ring of smoke and laughed, "After a man does this kind of thing, he’s usually very tired. Normally, he should be sleeping. Since I can’t sleep, I have to rest a bit, right?"
Xu Yingying spat at Li Yifei in disgust, "You pervert." Unexpectedly, her mind drifted back to the day when Li Yifei and she had slept together; it seemed like he had also been pretty tired and dozed off rather quickly.
At this point, He Fangqing had already adjusted her mindset and laughed, "Yingying, you need to keep a tight leash on this guy, or else he’ll never shape up."
Xu Yingying blushed and said, "You’re the one to keep him in check."
"I can’t do that; I’ve got no intention of being his wife. You’re the one who wants to be the wife, so if you don’t keep him in check, who will?"
Li Yifei, looking at the two of them, felt a strange sensation. He had just made love to He Fangqing, and Xu Yingying had caught them, but Xu Yingying wasn’t angry. Instead, she was joking with He Fangqing. What kind of pace was this?
Even as the former second-in-command of the Flying Hawk Squad, Li Yifei couldn’t figure out what the two women were thinking.
"By the way, Yingying, did you have something to talk to me about?" He Fangqing pulled Xu Yingying onto the couch to sit down.
Xu Yingying glanced at Li Yifei again. She had wanted to talk to He Fangqing about the benefits after her discussion with Li Yifei earlier, but with Li Yifei right there, she obviously couldn’t bring it up. Moreover, the scent lingering in the room was making her feel somewhat uneasy, and she kept picturing how Li Yifei and He Fangqing had been intimate.
"Sister Fangqing, when this guy was sitting on the chair... you didn’t do it on the chair, did you?" Xu Yingying didn’t know what got into her, but she blurted out that question.
He Fangqing was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Xu Yingying to ask such a question and didn’t know how to reply. Li Yifei, on the other hand, casually said, "Yeah, doing it on the chair really does have a special feel."
"You pervert." Xu Yingying spat at Li Yifei again, her face flushing red. She was still a virgin, after all, and couldn’t believe she had asked such a question.
"Look at you, not making any sense. You’re the one who asked, and when I gave you an answer, you scold me. Women really are unreasonable."
By then, Xu Yingying could only stiffen her resolve and said, "I was asking Sister Fangqing, not you. What are you blathering about?"
"Fine, fine, I won’t interfere. Happy now if I just leave?" Li Yifei stood up, stubbed out his cigarette, straightened his clothes, and sauntered out of He Fangqing’s office.
Once Li Yifei was gone, He Fangqing gave Xu Yingying a strange look, which made Xu Yingying nervous. "Sister Fangqing, why are you looking at me like that?"
He Fangqing chuckled softly and winked at Xu Yingying, "Yingying, have you and Yifei... already done the deed?"
"No! Absolutely not!" Xu Yingying quickly denied.
He Fangqing laughed heartily, wrapping an arm around Xu Yingying’s shoulder, "Don’t lie to me. You could ask about our intimacy and even did so in front of Li Yifei. If you hadn’t done it, could you have asked such a question? And with Li Yifei’s disheveled clothes, you seemed completely unbothered. If there was nothing between you two, I wouldn’t believe it one bit."
