Chapter 325: Chapter 333: Almost SucceedingXu Shanshan hadnât been using much force from the beginning. Her little foot had never really exerted strength when playfully kicking Li Yifei. But Li Yifei had been so preoccupied with his melancholy just now that he hadnât noticed how much Xu Shanshanâs foot had slipped inside. By the time he snapped back to attention, the tip of her little foot had made intimate contact with a very delicate part of him.
For a man, this area was extremely fragile. Even though Xu Shanshan hadnât kicked hard, Li Yifei still felt the pain.
However, Xu Shanshan was completely unaware that her kicking had reached a restricted level. Her foot swung back a little and then kicked forward again.
Li Yifei didnât dare let Xu Shanshan kick him any longer, so he quickly reached out and caught her mischievous little foot.
Xu Shanshanâs foot was caught by Li Yifei, but she refused to settle down, wriggling a few times in Li Yifeiâs hand. He gently tapped on the back of her foot as a warning to stop her nonsense and then let go.
Xu Shanshan withdrew her foot, but shortly afterwards, it stretched out againâthis time without a shoe, just a flesh-colored stocking.
This time, she wasnât kicking Li Yifei; instead, she was gently pressing on his leg, massaging it up and down, just like the movements she made the day before while playing mahjong at home.
Even in such a cramped and stifling space, Li Yifei found himself being teased by Xu Shanshanâs little foot to the point where he began to daydream. His mind was filled with the sneaky little antics they did under the table yesterday, and his right hand subconsciously grasped Xu Shanshanâs foot.
Li Yifei could clearly feel Xu Shanshanâs foot stiffen for a moment before relaxing. She didnât struggle, allowing him to hold it, which implicitly meant she was leaving things to his discretion.
But at this moment, Li Yifei started to feel a bit awkward about taking further action. Xu Shanshan was adorable, and being with her always brought joy. She made it easy to forget any burdens or unhappiness. Precisely because Xu Shanshan was such a cheerful girl, Li Yifei couldnât deceive her. So even though he was quite reluctant, he gently pushed her foot forward, indicating that she should pull it back.
However, Xu Shanshan didnât retract her foot but continued to extend it forward.
"Just now Old Lin said that Little Qiongâs husband is also named Li Yifei, and our Yingyingâs husband is called Li Yifei too. What a coincidence," one of the mothers said.
Xu Yingyingâs mother and Lin Qiongâs mother had been chatting, and inevitably, they started talking about their daughtersâ boyfriends. Li Yifei, overhearing the conversation, temporarily forgot about Xu Shanshanâs foot and pricked up his ears to listen.
Lin Qiongâs mother laughed, "Yes, what a coincidence! And they are both from Mile City. Little Qiong, Yingying, since you two know each other, perhaps they do as well?"
Lin Qiong quickly shook her head vigorously in denial, but Xu Yingying nodded. This puzzled both mothers, who looked at the two daughters in bewilderment.
Lin Qiong inwardly cursed the bad turn of events and was about to explain when Xu Yingying said with a smile, "Although I know Little Qiong, we only interact professionally and donât socialize much privately. As for our Li Yifei and Little Qiongâs husband, they are indeed both employees at our company. Both are exceptional in their own right, and they even look somewhat similar in stature and appearance. We thought they might as well be twins like us!"
Xu Yingying was clever. Although she didnât know what identity Li Yifei had used when he went to Lin Qiongâs house, she couldnât imagine that Li Yifei would have expected Lin Qiongâs parents to meet hers. So, he wouldnât have concocted another identity and surely represented himself as an employee from their company. By stating this in advance, it would lead the parents to think there were many commonalities between the two Li Yifeis. By giving this explanation beforehand, she could dispel any doubts they might have.
She then glanced at Lin Qiong and continued, "I do know Little Qiongâs husband has a girlfriend, but I donât inquire much about his private life. Itâs only now that I realize he is Little Qiongâs husband, hehe."
Lin Qiong hastily said, "What a coincidence indeed. My husband has never mentioned anyone with the same name at his company."
Xu Yingying chuckled, "Your Li Yifei, although he can be quite sharp-tongued at times, doesnât gossip much, unlike the one in our house, who never stops blabbing nonsense all day."
With Xu Yingyingâs explanation, the parents from both families laughed heartily. But after their laughter, Xu Yingyingâs mother suggested, "Yingying, give Yifei a call and see where heâs gone to; why has he not come back yet after such a long time."
Lin Qiongâs mother quickly said, "Little Qiong, you call Yifei too, to see if heâs gone back. If he hasnât, then have him come over here to visit Uncle Xuâs family." She added a meaningful look towards Lin Qiong, hinting that now that there was this connection, and considering Li Yifei worked at Xu Yingyingâs company, they hoped Xu Yingying could take extra care of him in the future.
Xu Yingying immediately laughed, "Thatâs true. Your Li Yifei should actually be on a business trip in Mile City right now. Hehe, if I had known about this gathering earlier, I would have sent someone else to handle the business."
Lin Qiongâs mother quickly added, "Hehe, we werenât aware of this relationship before, but now we do. Yingying, youâll have to look after our Yifei from now on."
Xu Yingying hadnât even replied when her mother preempted her, saying, "Of course, itâs all the same who you use, but when itâs one of our own, we must take good care of them. Yingying, your Uncle Lin was your fatherâs old comrade-in-arms."
Xu Yingying quickly responded with a smile, "I know, didnât I know before? Now that I do, of course, things are different. Alright, you all keep eating. Lin Qiong, letâs go make a call and find out where these two rascals have run off to."
Lin Qiong promptly followed Xu Yingying out of the private room, silently admiring Xu Yingyingâs adaptability. She knew she couldnât match that, and had Xu Yingying not been there today, Lin Qiong was afraid she wouldâve given them away with just a few words.
After the two left, Lin Qiong immediately whispered, "Where did Li Yifei run off to?"
Xu Yingying shook her head and said, "I have no idea. Who knows where he went? He was just in the room a moment ago. When you all came in, I was worried that your parents would see him. But as soon as you came in, he vanished without a trace."
Being a police officer, Lin Qiong was quite sensitive to such matters. Frowning, she considered the situation in the room and said, "The room is quite simple. Aside from under the table, thereâs nowhere else to hide. But the table is only so big, and neither you nor I noticed anyone, neither did your parents or mine, nor did Shanshan. So, itâs unlikely heâs under there, meaning he must have left the room. We were at the door and he didnât leave through it, so he must have escaped through the window."
"Escaped through the window? This is the fourth floor," Xu Yingying exclaimed, her eyes widening.
Lin Qiongâs eyebrows twitched as she said, "Donât worry, even though this is the fourth floor, Li Yifei is quite skilled. Climbing down from here should be no problem at all for him."
"Really?" Xu Yingying still found it hard to believe.
"Of course, if someone had fallen, there would be a commotion downstairs by now, but since there isnât any noise, it means heâs probably fine."
That made sense to Xu Yingying, but she was still worried and said, "Then Iâll check the window later, just in case heâs hiding somewhere. Wouldnât want him to have an accident."
Lin Qiong was actually also concerned and harbored the same thought, but she still restrained Xu Yingying, saying, "Later on, weâll explain why Li Yifei isnât here."
After a moment of thought, Xu Yingying said, "Weâll say that your Li Yifei had an important client to deal with and he just happened to run into our Li Yifei, so they went together to accompany the client."
Lin Qiong nodded; this excuse was quite good. For young people, work comes first, and such a reason is always plausible.
Returning to the room, Xu Yingying let out a sigh and said, "The two of them are together now, Lin Qiongâs husband isnât with a client? Thatâs a tough customer to deal with. He happened to see our Yifei, so he pulled him along to help. When those two start working, they are so earnest. I called them, and they said it would take at least a few hours to get things sorted out."
Lin Qiongâs mother immediately said apologetically, "Our Yifei is really something, how could he drag your Yifei away like that? Itâs your sister-in-lawâs birthday, after all."
Xu Yingyingâs mother chimed in with a laugh, "Whatâs the big deal about a birthday? Iâm not seventy or eighty years old. Missing one day is no issue; we can celebrate next year. Young people should prioritize their careers. Itâs actually a good thing."
Lin Qiongâs mother also added, "Thatâs true. Letâs gather again after some time, and then we must bring both Yifeis along, and not let them run off again."
Finally, they had resolved the issue, and both Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong breathed a sigh of relief. Nevertheless, neither of them could rest easy, so, pretending it was casual, they walked to the window. Looking out, they saw no sign of Li Yifei.
What relieved them, though, was that there were many exterior-mounted air-conditioning units outside. If Li Yifei had indeed left this way, there were plenty of footholds for him, so it seemed unlikely there would be any problems.
At that moment, Li Yifei could finally relax, grateful that Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong were clever enough to smoothly cover for his unexpected disappearance.
Only when he relaxed did Li Yifei realize that Xu Shanshanâs foot was still in his hand. He seemed to have been inadvertently rather naughty, as he had removed Xu Shanshanâs stocking, and was now playing with her foot.
Startled, Li Yifei wondered how he could have absentmindedly done such a thing and instinctively pushed away Xu Shanshanâs foot.
"Ouch!" At that moment, Xu Shanshan let out a cry of surprise as her body, along with the chair, toppled backward. Her foot kicked up involuntarily, lifting the blanket, and Li Yifei was suddenly completely exposed...
