Chapter 132: Chapter 132: How to Address"Sir, could you teach me the method of mixing this drink?" At this time, the bartender imprudently interjected.
Li Yifei happened to avoid Xu Shanshanâs gaze and replied with a smile, "Sorry, I canât teach you."
"Sir, if you teach me, I will cover all the drinks today." The bartender was a bit anxious.
Li Yifei couldnât help but smile. He had spent a lot of money learning these bartending methods, although it wasnât his money, but he knew these skills werenât taught easily. Besides, not everyone could learn it. Mixing drinks might seem easy, but it actually had strict requirements and selections regarding a personâs aptitude and ability. It wasnât something that could be learned simply through diligent study.
"Letâs go find a place to sit and slowly mix some drinks," Li Yifei said with a cheerful smile, pulling Xu Shanshan away; naturally, a waiter would bring the drinks to them.
The bartender was quite disappointed, but he was really envious of Li Yifeiâs Nine-colored Rainbow. At this time, there werenât many people in the bar, and the young patrons wouldnât come to him for mixing, so he gave it a try himself.
With just one attempt, he realized how difficult it was to mix the Nine-colored Rainbow and quickly gave up in despair.
Xu Shanshan sat in a booth with her hands supporting her chin, her elbows resting on the table, staring at Li Yifei intently as he mixed drinks. Even though the drink he was mixing this time was quite simple, seeing Li Yifeiâs focused demeanor and his hands moving as smoothly as flowing water, she found herself somewhat mesmerized.
"Brother-in-law, youâre really amazing." After drinking another glass, Xu Shanshanâs face was flushed, her eyes soft like water, and she extended her tongue, gently licking the liquor off her lips.
"Youâve said that countless times these past few days," Li Yifei replied with a grin while continuing to mix drinks. He had been making them for Xu Shanshan but hadnât had any himself yet.
"Itâs because youâre that amazing." Xu Shanshan continued looking at Li Yifei with her chin in her hands.
"Alright, Iâm amazing. This glass wonât be for you. Iâve already made you three glasses. If you keep drinking, youâll get drunk. I need to drink a glass myself, donât I?"
Xu Shanshan pouted and said, "Iâm not drunk yet."
"Alright, stop pretending. This kind of drink is indeed pleasant to taste at first, but the flavor masks the alcohol content. You might not feel much immediately, but once itâs in your stomach, the alcohol can pack a punch."
Xu Shanshan indeed felt some intoxication rising, her head a bit dizzy, and said, "Thatâs true, I am starting to feel a bit lightheaded now."
"Hehe, then in a moment, we should head back."
"Can we play here for a while longer?" Xu Shanshan pouted, unwilling.
As they were speaking, Li Yifeiâs phone rang. Seeing the number, it was Xu Yingying. Li Yifei signaled to Xu Shanshan for a moment, covered the receiver with one hand, and answered the call, "Yingying, are things over on your side?"
"Itâs over. What are you doing? Why couldnât I reach the home phone?" Xu Yingying asked directly.
"I donât know either. Maybe thereâs something wrong with the phone. Shanshan and I are watching TV."
"You better behave yourself and donât do anything to Shanshan," Xu Yingying lowered her voice but her words were full of warning.
Li Yifei grinned and said, "How would I dare? Donât worry, Iâll be going to sleep soon."
"Let me talk to Shanshan."
Li Yifei handed the phone to Xu Shanshan, "Your sister wants to speak with you."
Xu Shanshan took the phone, said a few words, then stood up to give Li Yifei a wry smile and walked to the bathroom next to them. Obviously, Xu Yingying was advising her about some things, quite naggingly.
Li Yifei finally finished mixing a drink and was about to drink it when a girl suddenly came up, sat directly opposite him, blinked at him, and said, "Uncle, how about buying me a drink?"
Li Yifei was somewhat surprised because sitting opposite him turned out to be that little girl, Chu Xiaoyao. This girl had refused to leave when she last stayed with him, and in the end, it was Li Yifei who had Lin Qiong chase her away. It had been more than half a month since he last saw her, and he didnât expect to see her here today.
"What are you doing here?" Li Yifei asked, frowning.
Chu Xiaoyao leaned over, whispered into Li Yifeiâs ear, "Uncle, do me a favor. I made a bet with my classmates that I could snag you, so give me a bit of face, okay?"
Li Yifei said, "How can I give you face?"
Chu Xiaoyao grinned and said, "Just pretend not to know me, and then we can chat for a while. You can be attracted to me and become my boyfriend."
Li Yifei immediately shook his head and said, "No way!"
"Uncle, youâre not going to be so unfriendly, are you?" Chu Xiaoyao immediately put on a pitiful face and looked at Li Yifei.
"Itâs not about being unfriendly, itâs just that Iâm out with my sister-in-law today. She went out to make a phone call, and if she comes back and sees you with me, wouldnât my girlfriend kill me?"
"Your sister-in-law? Youâre not alone?" Chu Xiaoyao looked at Li Yifei confusedly.
"Of course not. Didnât you see?"
"No, I just came in and saw you sitting here alone."
"Iâm really not alone. Sheâll be back soon. Iâm telling you, you should drop this idea. I canât help you and end up with trouble at home."
Li Yifei didnât want to help Chu Xiaoyao. Mainly, he didnât want to get overly involved with this girl. While Chu Xiaoyao was a nice girl, she was still too young. A girl like her could be quite a headache if she clung to someone.
Chu Xiaoyao pouted so much her mouth could hang a bottle, and asked, "Su Yiyiâs sister?"
"No, and sheâs not my girlfriend either."
"Iâm confused, Uncle, youâre too intense. So, you were just playing with Su Yiyi?"
Li Yifei glared at Chu Xiaoyao and said, "Donât talk nonsense here. Go do what youâre supposed to do; I donât have time to play with kids."
Chu Xiaoyao immediately protested, "What kids? Iâm already eighteen, okay? Iâm an adult. I can make my own decisions."
"Is that so?" Chu Xiaoyao smugly winked at Li Yifei.
Li Yifei was amused by Chu Xiaoyao and said, "Whether youâre an adult or not has nothing to do with me. Youâre a big girl and still not shy."
"Iâm just saying this to you, Uncle. I wouldnât say it to other men. I just like you."
"Enough, enough. I beg you. Little Grandmother, please hurry and leave."
Chu Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "I donât care. If you donât help me, I wonât leave."
Chu Xiaoyao started acting up, which made Li Yifei somewhat helpless. He couldnât exactly throw this little girl out, and as he saw Xu Shanshan returning, it was too late to chase Chu Xiaoyao away.
"Huh? Brother-in-law, whoâs this?" Xu Shanshan returned and saw a little girl beside Li Yifei. Not only that, but she was also a lively and beautiful young girl, and she immediately asked, puzzled.
Before Li Yifei could answer, Chu Xiaoyao already puffed out her chest and said, "Iâm Uncleâs mistress."
Li Yifei almost hit his head on the table. This girl, Chu Xiaoyao, was unbelievable to say such things. The main thing was, wasnât she putting him in a difficult situation? He really wanted to grab her by the collar and throw her out.
"Mistress? Haha..." Xu Shanshan looked at this girl, obviously under twenty, and couldnât help but laugh.
Chu Xiaoyao had initially intended to mess with Li Yifei, but Xu Shanshanâs laughter made her feel greatly insulted. She immediately wrapped her arms around Li Yifeiâs neck and even pressed her face against his, boasting, "I am Uncleâs mistress. So, what?"
Li Yifei quickly turned away to avoid letting Chu Xiaoyaoâs face touch his and pulled her hand away, exclaiming angrily, "Stop fooling around here."
"Uncle, Iâm not fooling around. You promised me, didnât you, to be your mistress." Instantly, tears filled Chu Xiaoyaoâs eyes, and biting her lip, she said in a choked voice, "Uncle, Iâm not asking to be your girlfriend. I just want to be your mistress. My first time was given to you, and now youâre discarding me."
Li Yifei was dumbfounded as he watched Chu Xiaoyao. This girl could act like an Oscar-winning actress. Her tears flowed the instant she wanted them to.
"Uncle, I... I have your child, you know? Rest assured, I wonât ask you to support us. Iâll raise him alone. Iâll tell him that he has a wonderful father, but due to some special circumstances, he canât be with us. I wonât let him resent you."
After saying that, Chu Xiaoyao ran away quickly, covering her face.
"Hey, hey!" Li Yifei called out twice, but Chu Xiaoyao didnât stop. She quickly bypassed two booths and slipped into her classmatesâ group. Due to the boothâs position, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan thought the girl had run out of the bar.
Feeling embarrassed, Li Yifei looked at Xu Shanshan and said, "Shanshan, itâs all nonsense from her."
"Is it?" Xu Shanshan sat down, crossed her arms, placed her left leg over her right, and stared at Li Yifei with an unfriendly gaze, overlapping with Xu Yingying at this moment.
Li Yifei promptly declared, "Absolutely! Sheâs just a high schooler. I helped her a bit when I saw someone harassing her on the bus before. We took the same bus a few more times after that, and then nothing."
Seeing Li Yifei a bit anxious, Xu Shanshan suddenly burst into laughter and said, "I knew it all along."
"You believe me?" Li Yifei looked at Xu Shanshan in surprise.
"Of course, I do. It was obvious that child was talking nonsense. If people say kids are bold nowadays, saying sheâs your mistress might actually convince someone. But when she claimed to have a child with you, it was just too fake," Xu Shanshan said, laughing even more brightly.
