Xu Yingying really wanted to kiss Li Yifei tenderly, but in front of her sister and Su Yiyi, Xu Yingying, as the elder sister, naturally had to maintain her image.
Li Yifei then called out to the two of them, "Come on, the food is all ready, hurry over and eat. Yiyi and I have been busy all day preparing this meal for you."
Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan responded and went to change and wash their hands, but when they returned, Xu Yingying saw a flight attendant uniform draped over the couch and said with some confusion, "Didn’t Xiaofei come back? Why don’t I see her?"
Su Yiyi’s face immediately flushed, while Li Yifei had a thicker skin and laughed, "Who knows where she ran off to, but she should be running back as soon as mealtime hits, right?"
"Then we should call her." Since Meng Xiaofei always came over to stay, Xu Yingying somewhat considered her part of the family, so she took out her phone and dialed Meng Xiaofei.
The phone rang for a long time before Meng Xiaofei answered, and Xu Yingying immediately asked, "Xiaofei, where did you go? Dinner is ready."
"I... I’m out playing, I won’t come for dinner." Meng Xiaofei said and then abruptly hung up.
"Hey, what’s up with that girl? Before, whenever she knew you were cooking at home, she wouldn’t go out and would wait to eat at home, but today, she’s run off."
Li Yifei said vaguely, "Don’t worry about her. She’s a big girl; she should know what she ought to do."
Xu Yingying rolled her eyes at Li Yifei and said, "That girl Xiaofei is vague about a lot of things; she acts without thinking. We’ll ask her later, so she doesn’t get deceived by someone."
Li Yifei laughed, "You’re quite concerned about her, huh?"
Xu Yingying sat down and said, "We’ve known each other for so long, she’s also our good friend, and she lives with us. We should take some responsibility for her."
Besides what Xu Yingying had mentioned, Meng Xiaofei was quite likable. Whenever she went out, she always brought back gifts. As long as she had money in her pocket, she was never stingy, whether it was spending on the adults at home or on Little Yifei, and even Little Yifei liked playing with Meng Xiaofei a lot.
"Yiyi, what’s wrong with you?" After taking a few bites, Xu Yingying noticed that Su Yiyi’s expression was not very natural and immediately asked with curiosity.
"It’s... It’s nothing." Su Yiyi hurriedly responded, her head hanging down even lower as she continued to eat.
Seeing Su Yiyi , who wouldn’t realize she was troubled? Xu Yingying frowned and said, "Yiyi, if you have a problem, just speak up. You’re part of this family too. You can’t be an outsider."
Su Yiyi blushed even more, and with an appearance of embarrassment, looked to Li Yifei for rescue.
Li Yifei rubbed his nose and said, "Today, Yiyi and I were upstairs, and then Xiaofei ran up there."
Li Yifei couldn’t be too explicit since Little Yifei was there, but Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan already had an idea that something embarrassing must have happened for Meng Xiaofei not to dare to come back and for Su Yiyi to be so embarrassed.
This made both of them quite curious about what exactly had happened to make Meng Xiaofei, the food lover, know that Li Yifei was back and had prepared a table full of dishes, yet she didn’t dare to come back. At least it seemed certain that Meng Xiaofei was at fault.
Could it be that Meng Xiaofei tempted Li Yifei?
Both Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan thought of this possibility, and they both looked at Li Yifei with a very strange gaze, making him feel uneasy all over. He just pretended not to see their expressions and continued talking to Little Yifei to distract himself.
Aside from that matter, the meal was still very enjoyable. After finishing, Xu Shanshan spoke to Xu Yingying, "Sis, you and brother-in-law surely have a lot to talk about; you two go upstairs. Yiyi and I will clean up."
Xu Yingying’s face turned red, but she really did want to talk to Li Yifei. After a bit of a refusal and then being persuaded by Su Yiyi, she went upstairs to her room with Li Yifei.
The next morning, Li Yifei did not get up too early because he had already heard Su Yiyi go downstairs. Su Yiyi always wanted to prove her worth here, and if Li Yifei did everything, it would actually make Su Yiyi feel uncomfortable, so he let her go ahead and make breakfast.
After Xu Yingying tidied up and went downstairs, she saw Xu Shanshan talking with Su Yiyi, Xu Shanshan was glowing with happiness, which made Xu Yingying laugh and ask, "You girl, why are you in such a good mood today?"
Li Yifei of course knew why Xu Shanshan was ; he had attended to Xu Yingying quite comfortably the previous night, and naturally, Xu Shanshan had the same experience. Xu Yingying felt like a bride on her wedding night, so was Xu Shanshan, satisfied and in a good mood.
Xu Shanshan giggled and flung her arms around Li Yifei’s arm, saying, "My brother-in-law is back; that’s why I’m happy."
Xu Yingying glared and said, "Go away, you’re so grown and still have no propriety."
Instead, Xu Shanshan hugged Li Yifei’s arm tighter and said proudly, "I won’t go away; he’s my brother-in-law, not yours."
Xu Yingying was both annoyed and amused, but she didn’t mind it in her heart. She glared at Xu Shanshan and said, "You can fool around at home, but remember to watch yourself outside, so you don’t make a joke of yourself."
