Chapter 215 - The Forced Marriage Arrives

Chapter 215: Chapter 216: The Forced Marriage Arrives"Uncle, is there still something on my face?" Chu Xiaoyao touched her face, looking at Li Yifei with a puzzled expression.

"No, it’s all gone. You’ve wiped it off," Li Yifei replied with a smile, but inside he was secretly relieved that Xiaoyao hadn’t caught him sneaking glances at her. Otherwise, that would have been really embarrassing.

Xiaoyao made an "oh" sound and turned her head back to the TV, bursting into laughter again soon after.

It’s actually quite understandable to feel this way. What’s easily obtained becomes less anticipated, while what’s hard to get creates high expectations. Seeing everything undressed leaves nothing more to look forward to, whereas film often builds anticipation, making viewers long for those occasional glimpses.

Li Yifei was feeling just like that. The slight exposure from Xiaoyao had an enormous attraction for him. Even though he kept reminding himself he shouldn’t look, he couldn’t help but sneak peeks now and then.

"Damn it, am I too evil? The girl is flirting with me willingly, and I don’t respond, but now I’m peeping at her," Li Yifei despised himself secretly, feeling that if he continued like this, he would truly become a beast, ready to violate this young girl Xiaoyao.

He stood up abruptly, startling Xiaoyao. "Uncle, what’s wrong?" she asked.

"I’m going to wash my face," Li Yifei said before heading straight to the bathroom.

Xiaoyao caught a glimpse of Li Yifei’s trousers tenting, and her lips curled into a secret smile. She had learned something new today, which was not to actively harass Li Yifei, but instead to occasionally flash him accidentally.

This tactic was certainly effective, having stirred up Li Yifei’s fire.

"Stinky uncle, serve you right for not agreeing to me. I’ll make you eat me up one of these days," Xiaoyao mumbled to herself after Li Yifei had entered the bathroom, shaking her little fist with full confidence that she would eventually have her way with Li Yifei.

Li Yifei truly hadn’t noticed that Xiaoyao, this little wench, had such crafty thoughts, and it took a good while of washing with cold water before he managed to subdue his desires.

When he came out again, Xiaoyao had already turned off the TV, yawning and stretching her arms above her head, arching her back in a stretch that lifted her nightgown up, revealing a small portion of her panties.

Li Yifei caught sight of it again, and the fire that had just died down flared up once more.

"Uncle, I’m sleepy, I’m going to bed first," Xiaoyao said, rubbing her eyes and stumbling toward the bedroom before flopping down on the bed, ready to sleep without even turning off the light.

Only after Li Yifei turned off the lights in the living room did he notice that Xiaoyao hadn’t turned off the bedroom light. He went inside and saw Xiaoyao lying on the bed with her legs apart. His eyes couldn’t help but glance at her body a few times before he quickly turned off the light and exited the room.

Lying on the sofa, Li Yifei lit a cigarette. In the haze of smoke, he couldn’t help but wryly smile, feeling that he was really too base. If things continued this way, it wouldn’t end well. Being with such a tempting young girl every day, it would surely lead to trouble eventually.

The next morning, as soon as Li Yifei arrived at the company, he received a call from Xu Yingying, asking him to come to the general manager’s office. Although he was reluctant, it was work hours, and he wasn’t afraid to meet Xu Yingying, so he briskly made his way to her office. Besides Yingying, there was also He Fangqing.

Yingying, in a professional suit, looked very spirited. She gestured to Li Yifei, "I’m going to Capital City this afternoon and will probably be back in two days. During these two days, as the president, don’t you have some responsibilities to take over in the company?"

When Li Yifei heard that Yingying would be away for two days, a smile immediately appeared on his face. "The president’s seat can remain vacant. Just let Director He take over. I think there shouldn’t be any major problems. Besides, all the employees in the company have their own duties. As long as they handle their tasks, there shouldn’t be a need for too much reporting, right?"

Yingying knew Li Yifei wouldn’t agree and didn’t insist. She said to He Fangqing, "Sister Fangqing, you’ll have to take extra care. If there’s anything, just make him work harder. We can’t let him idle."

He Fangqing nodded, "No problem at all. If I really can’t handle it, I’ll give you a call."

"Alright, that’s settled then. I’ll go over a few important matters left on my desk with both of you before I leave."

Yingying being away for two days meant two less days of pressure for Li Yifei, so he listened attentively to her instructions, eager for her to leave.

After handing over the work, Yingying said to Li Yifei, "Yifei, try to minimize your contact with Shanshan these next two days."

Li Yifei just shrugged, "Don’t worry, I have a girlfriend."

Yingying nodded, "Alright then, you’ll take me to the airport later."

Li Yifei agreed happily. As long as he could send Yingying off, taking her to the airport was of course no issue. In his years with the Flying Hawk Squad, Li Yifei had encountered countless tough characters and never felt intimidated. Even when female agents used their Beauty Trick on him, he could handle it with ease. But dealing with Yingying was truly a headache for him.

In the car, Xu Yingying first briefed Li Yifei about some work matters. As they neared the airport, Xu Yingying turned to look at Li Yifei and said, "Yifei, I need to ask you for a favor."

Feeling that Xu Yingying was very serious this time, Li Yifei turned to look at her and asked, "What is it?"

"I know that Shanshan is attracted to you, but before you’re sure that you really like her, don’t get involved with her physically."

Li Yifei paused for a moment, then replied heartily, "Don’t worry about that. Shanshan really is a good girl, but I have a girlfriend, and I can’t do anything to betray her." However, the thought of still maintaining a relationship with He Fangqing made Li Yifei feel somewhat guilty.

Xu Yingying nodded and said, "I’m aware you have a girlfriend, but you’re not married, so it’s normal for Shanshan and me to pursue you. I’m just afraid you won’t resist Shanshan’s attraction, so..."

"Hehe... You really don’t have to worry about that. You too are a woman attractive to men, but haven’t I behaved myself around you?"

Xu Yingying was momentarily at a loss for words, but on this matter, she had to admit that Li Yifei was a decent guy. If it were any other man, he might have agreed already, which was probably one of the reasons Xu Shanshan liked Li Yifei.

After seeing off Xu Yingying, Li Yifei felt relieved, but before he could leave the airport, a call from Xu Shanshan came in. She was frantic, "Brother-in-law, it’s terrible, my parents are coming."

"What?" Li Yifei was immediately surprised.

"They’ll be landing in two hours. You need to hurry and pick them up."

"Shanshan, I can go to the airport, but your sister hasn’t clarified our relationship to them, has she?"

"No, she hasn’t. That’s why you have to go."

Li Yifei was suddenly overwhelmed. Another call came in, and seeing it was Xu Yingying, he quickly said to Xu Shanshan, "Your sister is also calling; I need to answer that first."

After putting Xu Shanshan on hold, he answered Xu Yingying’s call. She immediately said, "Yifei, it’s bad, my parents are coming."

Li Yifei said with a wry smile, "Shanshan just told me, so what do we do now?"

"Please, do me one more favor and pretend to be my boyfriend again to pick up my parents."

"This has to come out sooner or later. How long can we keep this up?"

"To get through the moment is to get through the moment. I’m about to board my flight. You must help me with this. As long as you help me deceive my parents, I will fulfill any request you have afterward." seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Li Yifei’s mouth twitched, and he said, "Alright, then I’ll wait for them at the airport."

After hanging up, Li Yifei was somewhat amused and exasperated. Now both Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan wanted to be with him. He had been trying to extricate himself, but with the arrival of their parents, he found himself having to play the role of Xu Yingying’s boyfriend again, unsure of how this whole situation would end.

Xu Shanshan’s call came in again, urgently asking, "Brother-in-law, what do we do now?"

Li Yifei replied with a bitter smile, "What else can we do? Keep playing your brother-in-law."

Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "Then you wait at the airport for my parents. I’ll tidy up the house now, so it looks like you’ve been living there all along."

After waiting for over two hours at the airport, Xu Yingying’s parents finally arrived. Li Yifei saw them come through the gates and eagerly greeted them, saying, "Uncle, Auntie, why such a sudden visit? Yingying just happens to be on a business trip."

Xu Yingying’s mother immediately replied irritably, "It’s all because of you two. We had agreed that right after the New Year, you’d get married. May Day has come and gone, and we haven’t heard a peep. We’re here to see if there’s some problem with you two."

Li Yifei hastily said, "There’s no problem with us, but the company’s been busy with new development, and we haven’t had time to think about personal issues."

"What are you talking about? You have work, but you also need to sort out your personal life. You’re not getting any younger; Yingying is already twenty-six. If you keep dragging this out, before you know it she’ll be thirty. If a woman waits until after thirty to have children, it’s not good for her health."

Li Yifei was instantly covered in sweat at the thought of them already considering grandchildren. The old couple was indeed in quite a rush.
