Chapter 188 Continuing the Past Relationship

Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Continuing the Past RelationshipLi Yifei took a shower, not bothering to change into pajamas, and came to Xu Yingying’s bedroom wrapped in a towel. Xu Yingying and He Fangqing were chatting in the living room, while Xu Shanshan was in her own room and did not come out.

All the clothes Li Yifei left in Xu Yingying’s place were still hanging in the wardrobe, not a piece missing. It wasn’t clear if Xu Yingying hadn’t had the time to tidy up recently, or if she had intentionally left them for Li Yifei, but either way, it was convenient for Li Yifei.

After changing into a set of clothes, Li Yifei stepped out into the living room and said, "Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now."

Xu Yingying stood up and asked, "Isn’t it too early for you to leave?"

Li Yifei nodded firmly and said, "I have things to take care of at home." Right now, he was feeling a bit wary of staying here. With Xu Yingying, Xu Shanshan, and He Fangqing together, it was enough to overwhelm anyone.

Xu Shanshan suddenly rushed out of her room, grabbed Li Yifei’s arm, and said, "Brother-in-law, I’ll go with you. Take me out to have fun tonight."

Li Yifei, startled, quickly pulled away from Xu Shanshan’s hand and said hastily, "No, no, I really have something to do tonight. We can talk about it later." After saying this, he hurriedly went to change his shoes.

He Fangqing also stood up at this point and said, "That’s perfect, you can drop me off on your way."

Alone with He Fangqing, Li Yifei was no longer afraid and left with her, leaving the twin sisters’ home behind.

Once inside the elevator, He Fangqing couldn’t help but burst out laughing, her gaze drifting towards the area between Li Yifei’s legs. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Li Yifei glared and said, "Fangqing, you’re really trying to kill me here."

He Fangqing chuckled again and then proudly said, "I just want to see if you can hold out. Humph, who asked you to cut ties with me just like that."

Li Yifei did feel a bit guilty about this, as he had indeed let He Fangqing down. "Fangqing, it’s just that I don’t want to betray my girlfriend," he said with remorse.

He Fangqing snorted and said, "I’m not asking you to have an affair. It’s not like I’m clinging to marry you, nor am I trying to become your mistress. Why are you carrying such a heavy burden?"

Li Yifei opened his mouth to speak, but He Fangqing cut in again, "Alright, forget I said anything, or you’ll really think I’m forcing you to see me. If I get lonely, couldn’t I find some other man?"

Li Yifei used to be quite casual with women, not caring whom they might be with after a night together, but after untangling his feelings with Ye Yunzhu and establishing a relationship with Su Yiyi, he felt less free, more constrained in his actions. Hearing He Fangqing talk like this made him feel uncomfortable. He had been with He Fangqing a few times, and even if he didn’t want to admit it, he had feelings for her.

Once feelings were involved, possessiveness followed. The idea of He Fangqing being with other men was something he couldn’t easily accept. Frowning, he asked, "Are you feeling very lonely now?"

"Not very lonely. I’m busy with work and don’t have time to think about anything else. But who knows whether I’ll feel lonely and empty in the future? I’m an adult; I have needs. Maybe I’ll go to a bar and find some attractive man to have fun with, wouldn’t that be nice?"

The elevator door opened, and Li Yifei didn’t say a word. He got into the car, and remained silent, driving all the way to the entrance of the complex where He Fangqing lived.

He Fangqing didn’t get out of the car right away but turned to look at Li Yifei and said, "Can you come up and help me? The switch in my place is a bit dodgy."

Li Yifei nodded, got out of the car with He Fangqing, and went to help. It was a request he had no reason to decline.

He Fangqing’s home was a small apartment, about sixty to seventy square meters with just one bedroom. The living room was quite spacious, and the kitchen and bathroom were both quite nice – a small apartment designed especially for couples, perfect for two people to live in together.

"Which switch is giving you trouble?" Li Yifei asked as he entered and changed shoes.

He Fangqing pointed to the bedroom and said, "The socket in there is a bit faulty. It often doesn’t work when I’m charging my laptop, and since I like using my computer on the bed, it needs fixing."

Li Yifei said with a smile, "No big deal, I’ll fix it in no time." Then he went to the power box to turn off the electricity but didn’t shut down the lighting, just cutting the power to the sockets.

He Fangqing probably didn’t have any tools here, so Li Yifei went straight into the bedroom, then used his own key to open the socket box. It turned out that the wires inside weren’t properly connected, but he fixed them in a jiffy and then reinstalled the socket box. He said, "All done, you won’t have any more problems."

"You’re really quite something, you even know how to fix electrical stuff," He Fangqing immediately complimented Li Yifei.

Li Yifei laughed, "This is nothing really, just a piece of cake. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going."

"Don’t rush off. Go wash your face first, you’re all sweaty. I’ll pour you a glass of water. What, are you afraid I’m going to eat you up if you stay here a bit longer?" He Fangqing gave Li Yifei a teasing look.

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "What’s there to be afraid of, I’m a man, after all."

"Hmph, you’re not acting very manly right now," He Fangqing snorted and turned to head into the kitchen.

Li Yifei went to the bathroom, washed his face, and then wiped it with He Fangqing’s towel. From the overall arrangement of He Fangqing’s place, it was clear that she was now very attentive to the quality of her life. Everything seemed quite exquisite, likely a sign that she had freed herself from the constraints of marriage, and her pursuits had changed as a result. Or perhaps He Fangqing had always been like that, but marriage had made her give up some things.

As he came out of the bathroom, He Fangqing stood there, right at the door, holding a glass of water. It was as if she got startled by Li Yifei suddenly appearing, and exclaimed, the glass slipped from her hand, and half of the water splashed onto Li Yifei.

With Li Yifei’s agility, he could have easily dodged it, but he didn’t want to reveal his skills in front of He Fangqing, so he didn’t dodge the water at all, and it all splashed onto him.

"Aiya, look at me, getting your clothes all wet. Quick, take them off, and I’ll wash them for you. They’ll be dry and ready to wear by tomorrow," He Fangqing shoved the glass into Li Yifei’s hand and her hands were already at his collar, beginning to undo his buttons.

He Fangqing threw Li Yifei’s shirt to the floor, wrapped her arms around his waist, looked up at him with a seductive glance, and then pressed her face against his chest.

"Fangqing... don’t... do this," Li Yifei, with the last vestiges of his senses, tried to resist He Fangqing, but a tingling sensation coming from his chest dissolved that last bit of reason. His right hand swung, sending the half-filled glass flying onto the coffee table a couple of meters away, then he wrapped his arms around her, bent his head, and found He Fangqing’s lips, kissing her fiercely.

What followed was natural, and the two soon ended up tumbling into bed together.

After a while, the two of them finally calmed down. He Fangqing found Li Yifei a cigarette, lit one for herself, and then placed it in Li Yifei’s mouth.

Li Yifei took a deep drag and then exhaled a thick plume of smoke, slapped He Fangqing’s behind and said, "You little temptress, you’re making me commit mistakes."

He Fangqing trembled slightly from the pat, her sultry eyes casting a glance as she said in a coy voice, "I wanted you to make a mistake, it seems someone’s willpower isn’t that strong after all."

Li Yifei said, "Facing the pure seduction of such a beautiful woman, what man wouldn’t cave, how could anyone not make a mistake?"

Who knows how many times they went at it that night, if it wasn’t for Li Yifei’s robust body, he might not have been able to get out of bed the next day. When he woke up in the morning, his back was still sore.

"What are you thinking about?" He Fangqing had also opened her eyes by then, her fingers lightly gliding over Li Yifei’s chest.

"My dear lady, please spare me," Li Yifei quickly caught He Fangqing’s hand.

He Fangqing giggled, though she didn’t continue to tease Li Yifei. She too was exhausted from the night’s activities and couldn’t bear another round.

"What are you thinking about? Feeling guilty about your girlfriend?" He Fangqing asked again.

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "It’s done, why think about it anymore."

"Hehe, you don’t need to stress over it, just go ahead and love your girlfriend, I’m not asking for anything," He Fangqing said.

Li Yifei looked at He Fangqing, her gaze clear, tender as water. Unable to resist, he pulled He Fangqing back into his embrace. This side of He Fangqing, how could Li Yifei ever reject? It looked like he would just have to apologize to Su Yiyi.
