Chapter 233 - A New Dispute

Chapter 233: Chapter 235 A New DisputeLi Yifei, Xu Yingying, and Xu Shanshan were all lying on the sofa at this time. Li Yifei was in the middle, with Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan each resting their heads on his thighs. Li Yifei was lying on his side facing Xu Shanshan. Because of their positions, Li Yifei was inside, and Xu Shanshan was outside, with his hand still around Xu Shanshan’s leg.

Xu Yingying’s mother couldn’t help but be surprised when she saw such a scene. However, she quickly shook her head, noting the numerous alcohol bottles on the coffee table. It was evident that the three of them drank too much last night. Since Li Yifei didn’t do anything inappropriate to Xu Shanshan, she didn’t make a fuss about it.

"Get up and go back to your rooms to sleep," Xu Yingying’s mother called out to wake all three of them.

Li Yifei woke up first, rubbed his eyes, and sat up quickly. These days, although Xu Shanshan had the same hairstyle as Xu Yingying, their different clothes allowed him to distinguish the twins. It didn’t make sense to him that he was holding Xu Shanshan in front of Xu Yingying’s mother.

"Auntie... Mom, last night we..."

Xu Yingying’s mother smiled and said, "It’s okay, I know you all drank too much. Go and take Yingying back to rest some more. You guys really drank a lot; being in a good mood doesn’t mean you should drink so much."

Li Yifei quickly agreed, carrying Xu Yingying back to the bedroom. Although Xu Yingying was also awakened, facing her mother under such awkward circumstances was hard for her, so she pretended to sleep.

After placing Xu Yingying on the bed, Li Yifei fell onto it himself. They really drank too much last night; he still felt dizzy.

Xu Yingying didn’t pursue the matter of the three sleeping together last night. Soon, she was back in dreamland.

Upon waking up, Xu Shanshan was quite annoyed. Her plan was to get Li Yifei and Xu Yingying drunk so they might end up doing something romantic in their drunken state.

However, she underestimated her own drinking capacity and ended up drunk as well. This missed opportunity would make it harder to get them both drunk again in the future.

But thinking about the situation that morning, a smile appeared on Xu Shanshan’s lips. The feeling was actually quite nice. If her sister Yingying couldn’t handle Li Yifei, then snatching him away as a husband seemed like a good idea. Having him by her side for life didn’t seem bad at all.

Since today was the weekend, Li Yifei and Xu Yingying didn’t need to wake up early. They slept until after nine o’clock when Xu Yingying pulled Li Yifei up. The five members of the family took a good stroll around the city, with Xu Yingying buying a bunch of things for her parents while also getting many things for Xu Shanshan.

Once back home, Xu Shanshan smiled at Xu Yingying and said, "Old sis, I feel like you’re sending me off."

Xu Yingying immediately replied, "You’re right. You should go back with Mom and Dad when they leave."

"What for?" Xu Shanshan was instantly unhappy.

Xu Yingying smiled faintly and said, "No special reason. Don’t you have work?"

"Of course, I have work. I can’t just rely on you to support me."

"So there you have it. Your job is in Mile City, and you’ve been here long enough. It’s time for you to go back to work."

Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "Then you’re wrong. My job is now in Mile City, and it was brother-in-law who helped me find it."

"I helped you find it?" Li Yifei was puzzled.

"Hee hee, last time, didn’t you take me to meet that dancer? She has a dance school here and agreed to let me be a dance teacher there. So, my job is now in Mile City."

Seeing the displeased look on Xu Yingying’s face, Xu Shanshan triumphantly said, "Dad and Mom will surely support me on this. Don’t forget, I almost have a boyfriend here. If you make me leave, that would be ruined."

Xu Yingying’s mother quickly added, "Yes, yes, let Shanshan stay here. But Shanshan, you can’t live at your sister’s place; it’s too inconvenient."

Xu Shanshan pouted, but before she could retort, Xu Yingying said, "Mom, let Shanshan stay with me. I’d worry if she went elsewhere."

Xu Shanshan was immediately overjoyed, grinning broadly. "Yeah, yeah, I’m so naughty. If I accidentally get into some trouble, it’s better to have my sister keep an eye on me."

Xu Yingying’s mother laughed at Xu Shanshan’s antics, but her expression quickly turned serious. "Then, stay here and behave. You have to listen to your sister and brother-in-law."

Xu Shanshan immediately hugged Li Yifei’s arm, giggling as she said, "I always listen to brother-in-law. As for my sister, well... I usually don’t."

Xu Yingying’s face darkened, but the Xu Zhenguo Couple showed no concern over Shanshan’s closeness with Li Yifei. After all, they would all be family soon and should get along harmoniously. The sister-in-law teasing her brother-in-law was a long-standing tradition, never a cause for reproach but rather a source of joy. Especially among the older generation, it was seen as a natural thing.

On Sunday morning, the Xu Zhenguo Couple took a flight back. Seeing their daughter really married to Li Yifei reassured them enough to leave the young couple on their own.

After seeing the two elders off, Li Yifei finally relaxed, exhaling deeply and saying, "Finally completed the task, it really exhausted me."

Xu Yingying felt the same way. Feeling light and free, she could now return to doing what she loved.

Xu Shanshan, however, snorted and mimicked her mother’s tone, "You two, hurry up and give me a grandchild."

Xu Yingying pinched her sister and scolded, "Stop messing around, or I’ll have you start working properly tomorrow. Otherwise, don’t blame me for kicking you out."

"Sure, kick me out. If you do, I’ll move in with brother-in-law. Brother-in-law, you’ll surely take me in, right?" Xu Shanshan tugged at Li Yifei’s arm, gently swinging it.

Xu Yingying snapped, "Let go of him."

"Why should I? I just like it this way." Xu Shanshan hugged Li Yifei’s arm, gently swaying it and letting her chest lightly brush against it.

This little display in the airport terminal, crowded with people, caught quite a few eyes. However, no one thought much of it. Public displays of affection between couples were quite normal.

But Xu Yingying was fuming, lowering her voice as she angrily said, "He’s your brother-in-law, don’t you know you can’t be like that with him?"

"He’s not my real brother-in-law, so what am I afraid of?"

"You... I’m telling you he is."

"Well, that depends on whether brother-in-law agrees. Brother-in-law, did you agree to it?"

Li Yifei suddenly felt caught in a difficult position, once again trapped between the two sisters, making it hard for him to handle the situation.

"See, see, brother-in-law didn’t agree. You can’t tie him down with a fake certificate." Xu Shanshan gleefully teased Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying fell for it, gritting her teeth as she said, "Even if we haven’t registered, we’re still together. That night, we were together."

Li Yifei was stunned; Xu Yingying’s words were heavily suggestive.

Before Li Yifei could respond, Xu Shanshan grabbed his arm, "Brother-in-law, really? You actually did that with my sister?"

"No, no! Absolutely not!" Li Yifei wouldn’t admit it and shook his head vehemently.

Xu Yingying seized Li Yifei’s other arm, speaking harshly, "What do you mean no? That night, you touched me all over. Doesn’t that count?"

"Ah... Brother-in-law, you really touched her?" Xu Shanshan’s eyes widened, showing an unusual expression.

"This... this... it was just acting, alright?" Li Yifei feebly explained.

"I don’t care if it was acting or not. I just ask if it happened," Xu Yingying said with a proud tilt of her head.

"There... was." Li Yifei conceded helplessly, but quickly added, "This is a public place; can we discuss this in the car?"

Realizing they were drawing stares, including recognition as twins despite their different outfits, Xu Yingying felt embarrassed. Known to some extent in Mile City, if familiar people recognized her, it would be awkward. Hastily, she let go of Li Yifei’s arm.

Xu Shanshan, however, still clung to Li Yifei, pulling him along, "Brother-in-law, let’s ignore her."

Watching them walk ahead, Xu Yingying felt deeply disgruntled but decided to hold her temper and follow.

Since they had driven Xu Yingying’s Benz to the airport, the three rode it home. As Li Yifei settled in the driver’s seat, Xu Shanshan quickly claimed the passenger seat, leaving Xu Yingying feeling suffocated once more.

As soon as they got into the car, Li Yifei said, "Let’s discuss this at home. I can’t drive safely while doing so."

Xu Yingying huffed and stayed quiet. Her relationship with Li Yifei was solid, making her confident of her advantage. She sat calmly, arms crossed with a composed, assured look.

Finally reaching the residential area, Li Yifei said, "You two can get off first, I’ll park the car."

Squinting, Xu Shanshan said, "Brother-in-law, you’re not trying to run away, are you?"

Caught by her sharpness, Li Yifei awkwardly replied, "No, no, why would I run?"

"Then let’s all go together," Xu Shanshan smiled, looking like a crafty little fox.

Resigned, Li Yifei parked the car and walked to the apartment sandwiched between the sisters.

Upon entering, Xu Yingying pushed Li Yifei onto the sofa, standing in front of him triumphantly, "Now tell Xu Shanshan how far we’ve progressed. No hiding!"

Having devised his plan in the car, Li Yifei lit a cigarette, took several deep drags, and finally said through clenched teeth, "This shouldn’t be on me, right?"

"Li Yifei!" Xu Yingying exclaimed in a repressed rage, "You’re not planning to deny it, are you?"

Li Yifei leaned back a bit, looking aggrieved as he said, "I did touch you that day. Touched your body, touched there, but it was all over your clothes..."

Turning to Xu Shanshan, Xu Yingying said, "Did you hear? Do you still think our relationship is fake?"
