Before they got off work, Li Yifei and Su Mengxin left the company. The two of them went to the supermarket first, where Su Mengxin held onto Li Yifei’s arm with an excited expression on her face, while Li Yifei pushed a shopping cart, discussing with Su Mengxin what to have for dinner. To anyone watching, they seemed like a young couple.
When Li Yifei had been with Su Mengxin before, they were still very cautious, but now, neither of them felt any awkwardness or pretended restraint. They just walked naturally .
A shrewd person like Su Mengxin knew exactly that she and Li Yifei had developed to this stage. Li Yifei still did not know her feelings toward him, but she did not make it clear, and neither did Li Yifei. The two of them just kept playing this game of keeping up appearances while fully understanding the truth.
Shopping , resembling a young couple, made Su Mengxin feel truly wonderful. It seemed was real life, where couples return from work, buy some groceries together, chat, cook together, and then have some tender moments. If she could spend her days with Li Yifei , it would be perfect.
When Su Mengxin first came to find Li Yifei, she really wanted Li Yifei to follow her and help her with her business. She fully believed in Li Yifei’s capability, but the more she interacted with Li Yifei, the more she liked him and his simple life. So now, she had hardly thought about wanting Li Yifei to pursue any kind of career or use any means to get Li Yifei to become ambitious again.
Once they finished buying groceries, they went directly to Li Yifei’s home. Xu Shanshan had already picked up Little Yifei, whereas Xu Yingying would arrive a little later. Today Su Mengxin fully agreed with her idea; she was arranging things at the company.
Su Mengxin took out a gift for Little Yifei, making Little Yifei very happy. She hugged Su Mengxin’s neck and gave her a kiss. Su Mengxin laughed and said, "Little Yifei is so good, Auntie will bring you gifts again when she comes."
Little Yifei laughed happily and said in her childish voice, "It’s great now, so many aunties bring gifts for me."
Su Mengxin and Xu Shanshan both looked at Li Yifei, making him rub his nose and cough awkwardly. He had quite a few women around him now, and whenever any of them saw Little Yifei, they naturally wanted to buy something nice to please her, making Little Yifei the biggest winner, as her room was now full of all sorts of toys.
Xu Shanshan and Su Mengxin were both involved with Li Yifei in ambiguous ways, but now, because they were both present, it was inconvenient for either of them to act in any flirtatious manner with Li Yifei. So, even though both of them were in the kitchen helping Li Yifei with cooking, no one made any small moves with him.
After a while, Little Yifei called Xu Shanshan, and Xu Shanshan went into the bedroom. Su Mengxin nudged Li Yifei and lowered her voice to ask, "What’s going on with you and Shanshan?"
"We... have nothing going on?" Li Yifei suddenly felt a bit guilty.
"Still saying nothing’s going on? The way Shanshan looks at you isn’t right; that’s clearly a lover’s gaze. How could you not even let your sister-in-law go? Aren’t you afraid Yingying will find out?"
Li Yifei suddenly felt a cold sweat and said, "Is it really that obvious?" He did not deny it.
"Of course, it’s obvious. A normal brother-in-law and sister-in-law might have some banter, but not such a gaze. When Shanshan looks at you, her eyes are full of affection, and there’s a twinkle that clearly suggests an improper relationship."
Li Yifei coughed and said, "Actually, I haven’t gone too far with her, but Shanshan and Yingying have this psychic connection, and it’s especially strong in those areas. Even when I’m sleeping with Yingying, she feels it as if she’s with me too."
This time it was Su Mengxin’s turn to be dumbfounded. She only spoke after a while, "It’s really such a bizarre thing?"
"Could I lie to you? This is absolutely true."
"My God, that’s really troublesome. For Shanshan, it’s as if she’s already had that kind of relationship with you, no wonder she doesn’t treat you like a normal sister-in-law would."
"Yes, if this were told to others, they probably wouldn’t believe it."
"I’m afraid even Yingying wouldn’t be able to accept this, at least not anytime soon. You’d better remind Shanshan so Yingying doesn’t find out."
Li Yifei nodded repeatedly, feeling very grateful to Su Mengxin. This woman always considered his needs, even in matters of emotions like these, she was completely thinking about him.
A thought suddenly occurred to him; if he let Su Mengxin handle the women around him, she might be able to manage everything well, and then he wouldn’t have to worry so much in the future.
"What are you thinking about?" Su Mengxin nudged Li Yifei again, a blush rising to her cheeks, because Li Yifei had been staring at her, his eyes flashing with something, making her jump to the conclusion that he had some thoughts about her. If they were alone, she hoped Li Yifei would look at her this way, but in front of others, she preferred to maintain the kind of relationship they had before.
Li Yifei coughed, laughed awkwardly, and said, "Nothing, nothing."
Su Mengxin was both shy and embarrassed, but her heart carried a hint of joy as she said, "Naughty guy, be careful. If Yingying senses anything unusual between you and me, I’ll have no face to see her."
