Chapter 394: Chapter 401 Rightfully SoXu Shanshan was unusually well-behaved tonight. She was proper before dinner, ate quietly during the meal, and afterward, she went straight to her bedroom, shut the door, and even locked it from the inside.
Su Mengxin left after dinner too. The clever woman knew when to do what, and staying here would only make Li Yifei uncomfortable.
Xu Yingying went over and knocked on her sisterâs door, "Shanshan, why did you lock the door?"
From inside, Xu Shanshan exclaimed, "Iâm sleepy, Iâm going to sleep."
"Itâs so early, and youâre going to sleep?"
"Canât I be sleepy just for today?"
"Open the door. You still need your massage."
"No massage, Iâm going to sleep."
Xu Shanshan stubbornly refused to open the door, and Xu Yingying got a little angry, shouting, "I told you to come out, did you hear me? You refused to go to the massage parlor, refused the person we found for you, and now your brother-in-law is personally offering, and you still wonât come out. What exactly do you want? Should your foot get so bad that mom and dad worry about you before youâre happy?"
Inside, Xu Shanshan suddenly went silent, but Xu Yingying, still annoyed, shouted, "Are you coming out or not? If you donât, I wonât care about you anymore. Do whatever you like."
The door finally opened, Xu Shanshan pouted, looking down like a child who had done something wrong, twisting her shirt hem, "See, Iâm out now."
Xu Yingying huffed and sternly said, "The waterâs ready for you, go soak your feet."
Xu Shanshan muttered something under her breath, clearly reluctantly heading to soak her feet.
Only then did Xu Yingying return to the living room, still somewhat annoyed, she said to Li Yifei, "This girl is always so worrisome."
Li Yifei quickly consoled, "Itâs okay. Shanshanâs mood is probably bad knowing her footâs like this. Criticizing her more would only make it worse."
Xu Yingying sighed and turned to Li Yifei apologetically, "Husband, Iâll be troubling you again."
"Itâs no trouble at all, not a big deal anyway." Li Yifei said casually.
"Husband!" Xu Yingying leaned her head on Li Yifeiâs shoulder, gently saying, "You cook at home every day, pick us up for work, and handle a lot of the house chores. Youâre really hardworking."
This was Xu Yingyingâs first time sincerely expressing herself, which made Li Yifei feel a warm sense of happiness. He embraced Xu Yingyingâs shoulder and said, "Iâm your husband, doing such things is normal. Besides, you work so hard at the company and have to work overtime at home, if I also had you do chores, wouldnât you be even more tired?"
"But you also work. You have a job every day too, which makes me feel guilty. Oh, husband, hereâs my bankbook, Iâm giving it all to you." Xu Yingying said and handed a bankbook to Li Yifei.
Li Yifei took it, opened it, and said, "Wife, youâre really well off, over two million."
Xu Yingying quickly said, "I also have some stocks and bonds, Iâll give you the account passwords later, review them for me when youâre free."
Li Yifei readily agreed. Xu Yingying entrusted her finances to him, which made Li Yifei realize that Xu Yingying was genuinely treating him as family. As her husband, there was no need to decline, that would be hypocrisy, not manly. Since he married Xu Yingying, he should accept everything about her, including her money.
If it were someone else, they might call Li Yifei unambitious or spineless, but Li Yifei wasnât short on money. If he wanted, making tens of millions would be easy for him, so he found this enjoyable, being a housekeeper was another kind of fun.
Xu Yingying really feared Li Yifei might feel awkward, but surprisingly, Li Yifei accepted with ease, filling her heart with a sweet warmth.
Around then, Xu Shanshan hesitantly emerged from the bathroom, Xu Yingying quickly sat up straight; she still wasnât used to being affectionate with Li Yifei in front of others, even her own twin sister.
"Come over, what are you standing there for?" Xu Yingying saw Xu Shanshan hesitate by the coffee table, reluctant to approach, and called out to her.
Xu Shanshan pouted, "Sis, maybe not, Iâll feel embarrassed."
Xu Yingying glared and said, "Whatâs there to be embarrassed about? Heâs your brother-in-law, not a stranger, and itâs just a foot massage, not anything else, why are you so shy?"
Xu Shanshan reluctantly ambled over, and Xu Yingying hurriedly stood up, pressing her down onto the couch, "Alright, just stay put and let your brother-in-law massage it. Yifei, take care of Shanshanâs foot."
Li Yifei felt a bead of sweat; his wife was treating him really well now, but he and Xu Shanshan schemed together to deceive her, feeling a bit guilty, but knowing Xu Yingyingâs own sister was involved gave him some peace of mind.
Clearing his throat, Li Yifei said, "Shanshan, donât worry, your brother-in-law knows his stuff, all that intense training before left no lasting damage. If I massage you for a while, I guarantee there wonât be any issues."
Xu Shanshan glanced at Li Yifei, "Brother-in-law, will it hurt?"
"At first, it will hurt a bit, but once youâre used to it, itâll be fine. Just bear with it, and itâll pass."
"Then I donât want the massage," Xu Shanshan said and prepared to stand up.
"Are you afraid of a little pain?" Xu Yingying immediately pressed Xu Shanshan back onto the couch and turned to Li Yifei, saying, "Husband, go ahead, letâs see if she refuses."
Li Yifei found himself both amused and exasperated, having no choice but to sit down by Xu Shanshanâs feet, though hesitant to start. Massaging his sister-in-lawâs feet in front of his wife felt awkward.
Xu Yingying urged again, "Hurry up, husband, itâs for Shanshanâs foot, for her health."
Only then did Li Yifei extend his hand to hold Xu Shanshanâs foot. Her leg immediately tensed, despite having played pranks several times with Li Yifei, this time, her brother-in-law holding her foot under her sisterâs persuasion felt indescribably exciting, thrilling, and slightly nerve-racking.
Xu Yingying chuckled, "See, itâs not a big deal. Why put up such resistance? Where does it hurt?"
Li Yifei awkwardly said from behind, "I havenât even applied pressure yet."
Xu Yingying laughed awkwardly, "Well, it doesnât hurt much, then."
"Itâs not you whoâs hurting," Xu Shanshan pouted.
"Alright, alright, your brother-in-law never even gave me a foot massage, but heâs giving you one. You should be grateful."
"Shanshan, bear with it, Iâm starting now." Li Yifei warned, and began to apply pressure with his fingers.
"Ow! Brother-in-law, youâre pressing so hard, it hurts!" Xu Shanshan cried. This time, she genuinely felt pain in her foot.
Xu Yingying held Xu Shanshan and said, "Why are you yelling? Youâre grown up now, canât stand a bit of pain? What else can you do?"
Xu Shanshan squirmed and shouted, "Itâs not you feeling the pain. Ouch, brother-in-law, be gentler! If youâre not afraid of pain, you try it."
Xu Yingying snorted, "Of course, Iâll let your brother-in-law massage me. Youâre the one with the problem, just endure it."
Xu Shanshan gritted her teeth, "You two are bad guys, just you wait, Iâll get back at you."
The reason Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan gave was mainly to trick Xu Yingying, but it wasnât entirely groundless. Massaging tired feet indeed offered benefits, as the foot was the bodyâs second heart. Soaking and massaging them before bed was one of the secrets to health.
Xu Shanshanâs feet were indeed under considerable strain. Li Yifei, who hadnât thought so much before, genuinely massaged Xu Shanshan this time, applying quite a bit of pressure.
Xu Shanshan cried out for a while before adapting. Xu Yingying stood up, "Alright, stay put. I have to get back to work. Husband, thank you for your trouble. If this girl wonât let you massage, donât be polite with her."
Li Yifei nodded with a smile, while Xu Shanshan secretly raised her fist at Xu Yingying.
Once Xu Yingying entered the room, Xu Shanshan excitedly winked at Li Yifei, who felt both amused and helpless. This sister-in-law was full of ideas, yet he couldnât fathom her intentions entirely.
"Wicked brother-in-law, why did you apply so much pressure just now?" Xu Shanshan whispered in a low voice to Li Yifei.
Li Yifei laughed, "Massaging you needs pressure, otherwise whatâs the point of a massage?"
"Oh, now I get it. Brother-in-law is clever, or it wouldnât seem like one."
Li Yifei internally rolled his eyes; he indeed gave a genuine massage. He didnât bother explaining to Xu Shanshan, though.
"Brother-in-law, this position is uncomfortable. I want to watch TV. Letâs move a bit, okay?" Xu Shanshanâs voice rose significantly with this request.
Li Yifei agreed, turning on the TV for Xu Shanshan. She stretched out on the daybed, raised her legs, waiting for Li Yifei to return. Once he sat down, she immediately rested both feet on his lap, grinning, "Brother-in-law, this is much better."
Li Yifei shook his head, helpless against this mischievous sister-in-law, especially with leverage she held over him.
Meanwhile, Xu Shanshan was overly pleased with herself, her small feet restlessly moving in Li Yifeiâs hands, sometimes wiggling, sometimes clamping his fingers with her toes.
Given the circumstances, Li Yifei stopped being polite, forgoing the massage and simply toying with Xu Shanshanâs small feet, and quite enjoying it.
