Chapter 259 - The Tigress Shows Her Might

Chapter 259: Chapter 264: The Tigress Shows Her MightLi Yifei immediately displayed a demeanor of sincerity and fear, his face betraying a sense of guilt as he wiped his forehead and stammered, "Wife, we were just singing, we didn’t do anything else."

Xu Yingying squinted her eyes at Li Yifei and said slowly, "It seems you’re unwilling to tell the truth, huh?"

Li Yifei gulped and swallowed his saliva, cautiously saying, "Wife, I’ll tell you, we hired some girls."

"And then?"

"And then... we just sang songs."

"What did you do while singing?"

"We... I just touched their hands."

"Only touched their hands?"

"I touched their legs too."

"What else?"

"Nothing more, nothing more, wife, really nothing more. You know it’s all just a front, if I looked too honest, it would be disrespectful to Ma Yiwei, and it would hinder the business negotiations. But I always remembered your expectations of me, I definitely didn’t touch their sensitive areas, and I certainly didn’t take them to a hotel room."

"Is that so?"

"Really, wife, don’t you understand my heart for you by now? I wouldn’t dare do anything to wrong you," Li Yifei said as he embraced Xu Yingying’s shoulders, wearing a face full of flattery.

Xu Yingying snorted and warned, "You better not get caught doing anything bad, or you won’t get a penny from me and will just stay home behaving yourself."

"No, no, I definitely won’t do anything bad, wife, it’s getting late, let’s rest."

Inside a room at this karaoke parlor, three people were present including that Ma Yiwei, who was staring at the monitor, laughing incessantly.

One of them slapped Ma Yiwei on the shoulder, laughing and saying, "I tell you, Ma, the guy you found is a real piece of work, scared of his wife to this extent."

Ma Yiwei chuckled and replied, "I didn’t expect this guy to be so afraid of his wife either. You’re right, the kid’s got luck on his side to have a wife so beautiful, no wonder he’s scared."

"If he had an ugly wife, he wouldn’t be scared at all, would’ve kicked her to the curb already."

At that moment Ma Yiwei spoke again, "You guys think he is clean right? Otherwise, there’s the wife and the lover."

The other two nodded in agreement. If Li Yifei were an undercover cop or some sort of journalist, bringing just one woman would be enough; there’s no reason to bring an extra wife to complicate matters. So now they were completely convinced about Li Yifei.

However, what they were most eager to see was whether any racy scenes would unfold next. Yesterday, Li Yifei and Lin Qiong were here, but they missed the main action, which was a huge disappointment to them.

At this moment, Li Yifei was appeasing Xu Yingying, saying, "Wife, you’ve also had a long day, go take a bath, I’ll run the water for you."

"Mmhmm, go ahead."

Li Yifei scurried off to the bathroom to fill the tub, and soon peeked out to say to Xu Yingying, "Wife, why don’t we shower together?"

Xu Yingying gave Li Yifei a glare and said, "You deadbeat, let me tell you, I still have to inspect you to see if you’ve done anything naughty."

Li Yifei immediately patted his chest and boasted, "This is my due to my wife, something I would never waste on someone else."

"You big oaf!" Xu Yingying replied seductively, tossing a look at Li Yifei before entering the bathroom.

The people in the surveillance room were somewhat frustrated, with Ma Yiwei saying, "Why didn’t we install a camera in the bathroom too? We’re missing out on all the good scenes."

Another person commented, "You think this is just for peeping? There are mirrors in the bathroom, and the walls are flat, it’d be too easy to be discovered. Besides, we’re only here to see if there’s anything fishy going on, why bother with that other stuff."

Although they said this, missing the show in the bathroom was something none of them could help but feel a bit remorseful about, yet there was nothing they could do about it now.

Li Yifei and Xu Yingying stood in the bathroom, with Li Yifei first saying, "There’s no camera here, as long as we keep our voices down everything will be fine."

Xu Yingying immediately asked anxiously, "How was my performance just now? Did I do okay?"

"You did great," Li Yifei gave Xu Yingying a thumbs up.

Xu Yingying immediately said with pride, "Well, of course, haven’t you seen who I am?" She had never felt so proud of her accomplishments in the company before.

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, you could even win Oscar’s Best Actress Award."

Xu Yingying didn’t let it go to her head, but eagerly asked, "So what should we do now?"

"Now... it’s time for a bath."

"What?" Xu Yingying’s eyes widened, and she pointed at Li Yifei and then at herself, and said, "Us... the two of us... together?"

Li Yifei said with a smile, "Well, what do you think? We came in here together, is it not only natural that we take a bath together?"

"But... how could that be appropriate?" Xu Yingying’s cheeks were flushed red, and she dared not look at Li Yifei anymore.

Seeing Xu Yingying like this, Li Yifei teasingly said, "We’re supposed to be a married couple right now. It’s perfectly normal for us to bathe together. If we don’t, wouldn’t that give us away?"

Xu Yingying’s face twitched involuntarily. She had considered sharing a bed and even feigning intimacy with Li Yifei, but bathing together wasn’t part of her plan.

The more difficult Xu Yingying found the situation, the more amusing Li Yifei found it. He said, "So, what do we do? I’m out of ideas."

"Didn’t you say that they can’t see us here?"

"But when we go out, we have to look like we’ve bathed, don’t we? You can’t expect us to bathe in our clothes here, can you? How would we go out tomorrow then? Don’t tell me we’re going to go out in our wet clothes."

"This..." Xu Yingying was at a loss for a moment.

"Alright then, forget it. Let them find out, let’s not bathe and see if we can find an excuse to leave."

Li Yifei said this and deliberately turned to leave.

"Wait!" Xu Yingying suddenly grabbed Li Yifei’s arm. Her gaze towards him was complicated as she hesitantly said, "Fine, we’ll bathe here, but separately. You’re not allowed to look when I’m bathing, and I won’t look when you are."

Li Yifei’s eyes widened in surprise; he hadn’t expected Xu Yingying to come up with such a suggestion. He had only intended to tease her, anticipating she’d get angry and kick him out. Pretending to have a spousal quarrel was quite normal; after all, it was completely normal for a wife like Xu Yingying, with her strong temperament, not to bathe or even share a bed with her husband as a way to deceive their watchers.

Yet, Xu Yingying, the fiery-tempered CEO, hadn’t thought of that. Instead, she had come up with such an intimate solution, which was something Li Yifei hadn’t expected.

"I was thinking... this way..." Li Yifei was trying to articulate his own plan when Xu Yingying pushed him aside and began undressing while saying, "Turn your head; you’re not allowed to look."

Li Yifei quickly said, "No, no, there’s no need for that."

In the surveillance room, the three watchers had been eagerly anticipating Li Yifei and Xu Yingying’s next moves, but they were frustrated when Li Yifei turned off the light. They could barely make out the shapes of the couple getting into bed and covering themselves with a quilt.

"Damn, they even have to cover up in bed?" Ma Yiwei cursed, extremely displeased.

Another guy laughed and said, "You don’t get it. Do you think this is like picking up a hooker, where you can do whatever you want, with the light on or off? They’re a normal couple; it’s normal for them to turn off the lights and get under the covers when going to bed."

"Grandma’s, that was just too unsatisfying to watch."

"Heh, when a couple is together, there’s not always that much passion. When they first get married, it might be once or even several times a day. But after a few years, it becomes once every few days, and as they get older, once or twice a month isn’t unusual. And even when they do it, it’s often just going through the motions. That’s why they call it ’doing one’s duty.’ There’s no passion left, so whether you watch or not doesn’t really matter."

At that point, the three had lost interest, but when they saw Li Yifei climb on top of his wife, Ma Yiwei said with a smirk, "This guy must be worried about his wife finding out he was with his lover yesterday, so he wants to put on a good show now."

"I think so too, but his wife sure has a strong reaction. This guy’s technique must be pretty good."

"What do you understand? Women at thirty are like wolves, at forty like tigers, and at fifty can ’suck dust from the ground.’ He’s in his thirties, so his wife must be just over thirty, right at that wolf-tiger age, of course, her reaction’s intense. You see, Ma, you should stop chasing those little girls that are all talk; they’ve got no flavor. A real woman is over thirty; that’s where the taste is."

"Exactly, exactly. Listen to that kind of moaning, it’s so captivating, it’s getting me all turned on."

"Can’t take this anymore, I’ve got to go relieve myself."

"Hold up, I’m coming too."

The three of them hurriedly left the surveillance room to find some girls to vent their frustrations.
