Chapter 504 - Do You Have a Sister Like This?

Chapter 504: Chapter 514: Do You Have a Sister Like This?Li Yifei was startled and quickly dashed toward the women’s restroom, just as Xu Shanshan was rushing out, immediately falling into Li Yifei’s arms.

"What happened? What happened?" Li Yifei glanced inside the women’s restroom but didn’t see anything, so he hurriedly asked.

"Brother-in-law, I was scared to death, scared to death," Xu Shanshan clutched Li Yifei tightly, her body still trembling.

"What really happened, tell your brother-in-law, don’t scare me," Li Yifei was also a bit panicked and quickly patted Xu Shanshan’s back.

At last, Li Yifei’s comfort had some effect, and Xu Shanshan was finally a bit more composed, saying, "I don’t know what it was, just something dark, suddenly ran past me."

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile and said, "That could have been a rat, right?"

"Definitely not a rat, it was so big," Xu Shanshan immediately gestured with her hands.

Li Yifei laughed, "Then it was probably a stray cat or dog or something."

It seemed as if to confirm Li Yifei’s words, a cat’s meow sounded from not too far away.

"It turns out it was a stray cat, it really scared me," Xu Shanshan stuck out her tongue.

"Okay, okay, let’s go back," Li Yifei held Xu Shanshan as they began to walk back, but just as they took a step, Xu Shanshan stumbled a bit, then pushed Li Yifei away, shyly saying, "Brother-in-law, I haven’t pulled up my pants yet."

Li Yifei instinctively looked down and immediately felt awkward as he saw Xu Shanshan’s bare behind. In his heart, he thought, "This girl, really, why mention it if you hadn’t pulled up your pants completely, you just wanted me to see, didn’t you?"

Xu Shanshan quickly pulled up her pants, stuck her tongue out at Li Yifei, and said, "I was so scared earlier, I ran out without pulling up my pants properly."

Li Yifei only could sternly say, "You’re bold enough to say that, such a big girl, and you still don’t know shame."

"You’re my brother-in-law, not a stranger. If you see, you see, besides, it’s not like you haven’t seen before."

Li Yifei cleared his throat. Xu Shanshan was just that bold and always said unexpected things, but he couldn’t help but recall the first time they met, back then at Xu Yingying’s parents’ house, he had also seen Xu Shanshan’s behind, so it wasn’t the first time.

"Hehe, what’s the throat-clearing for? I don’t mind if you look anyway."

Li Yifei was even more at a loss for how to respond.

Xu Shanshan no longer embarrassed Li Yifei, but when they were by the tent, she stopped, saying to Li Yifei, "Brother-in-law, how about we sit by the seaside, I’m not sleepy now."

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "No, let’s just sit nearby. If we’re too far from the tent, I’m worried if something happens here, I wouldn’t know."

"Alright, we’ll just sit here for a bit," Xu Shanshan took a few steps forward, sat on the beach, about ten meters from the tent.

That distance was definitely okay, so Li Yifei followed and sat down next to Xu Shanshan.

Xu Shanshan stretched out her arms, held onto Li Yifei’s left arm, then tilted her head, resting it on Li Yifei’s shoulder, softly asking, "Brother-in-law, do you know what my ideal partner is like?"

Li Yifei was quite curious about this and promptly asked, "What kind of person? Tell me, so your brother-in-law can help you look for him."

Xu Shanshan squinted her eyes and said, "When I was little, my sister and I were out playing, and some little boys bullied us. That time, we were bullied to tears, until later when my dad arrived, they got scared and ran away. Since then, I’ve admired my dad a lot."

Li Yifei laughed, "You don’t have an Electra complex, do you?"

"When I was young, I thought my dad was the strongest, as long as he was there, he could protect my sister and me. But as I grew older, I knew I couldn’t rely on my father’s protection forever, I needed to find a strong man to protect me. So, when I’m looking for a boyfriend, he must be a very strong man."

"Heh, it shouldn’t be that hard to find, right?"

"How is it not hard?" Xu Shanshan turned to look at Li Yifei, "Brother-in-law, I originally thought it wasn’t very difficult, but who knew you’d appear? If I’m looking, I have to find someone stronger than you, otherwise, if you bully me, wouldn’t I have no one to protect me?"

"How could I bully you? I couldn’t protect you enough," Li Yifei gently stroked Xu Shanshan’s hair.

"I know," Xu Shanshan said with a mischievous smile, "So now I have someone to protect me, I don’t need to find a boyfriend anymore, brother-in-law, you won’t abandon me, will you?"

"Of course, it’s only right to protect you, but you can’t stay unmarried and live with me and your sister forever, right?"

"Why not?"

"It’s not that you can’t, but generally, a woman needs a husband to love her."

"Hehe, then I’ll just consider you my husband."

Li Yifei’s face instantly darkened. Though there was often ambiguity between him and Xu Shanshan, and he had a lot of affection for this sister-in-law, he really never had any intention of having any relationship with Xu Shanshan.

"Hey, I’m just teasing you. Others can compete with my sister for her husband, but I can’t. Otherwise, my sister would kill me. Besides, you’re my brother-in-law, you’ve been so good to me, why would I have to fight to make you my husband?"

Li Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, smiling, "Shanshan, you almost scared me to death."

Xu Shanshan leaned her head back on Li Yifei’s shoulder, softly saying, "Brother-in-law, as long as you’re with my sister, I’m happy. You must promise me, no matter what happens, don’t separate from my sister."

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Since I’m already married to your sister, I won’t separate from her."

"That’s good then, as long as you can protect this point, even if you sneak around, I’ll cover for you."

"You girl, what kind of sister are you, not standing by your sister’s side but by your brother-in-law’s."

"’Cause standing by my brother-in-law is better, it’s for her own good too. My sister can have such a good man like you as her only legitimate husband, that’s already her blessing."

Li Yifei chuckled and said nothing more, as a man, hearing Xu Shanshan praise him like that, naturally, his mood improved.

Neither of them spoke for a while, listening to the sound of waves hitting rocks, watching the starry sky, which made Li Yifei’s heart become exceptionally clear.

He didn’t know how long it took, but he could hear Xu Shanshan’s even breathing by his ear. Li Yifei carefully turned his head to see Xu Shanshan’s sweet sleeping pose; her sleeping resemblance to Xu Yingying was nearly identical, so looking at Xu Shanshan felt just like looking at his wife, with no discomfort.

Carefully, Li Yifei picked up Xu Shanshan, brought her inside the tent, laid her down, then kissed his sleeping daughter and wife before returning to his spot. Chu Xiaoyao’s arm and leg immediately wrapped around him; this girl’s antics were already something he was used to, and he could only follow suit.

The next day, Li Yifei and the others played for another half-day. After having lunch, they headed home. Little Yufei had a great time playing but was also a bit tired, falling asleep on the boat.

At home, everyone rested again. While Chu Xiaoyao and the little girl were playing with the computer in the bedroom, Xu Yingying said to Li Yifei, "Hubby, I have to work tomorrow, shouldn’t Yufei go to kindergarten?"

Li Yifei nodded, "She indeed should go."

"But I’m afraid Yufei will disagree."

Li Yifei was also a bit worried, "I could look after her when I’m home, but it’s not a long-term solution."

Previously, they only thought of bringing their daughter back, but now that she’s home, they’re encountering problems.

"So what do you suggest? I do want to stay home with Little Yufei, but with so much happening at the company, I simply can’t stay home."

Li Yifei nodded, "Wife, I’m already very grateful you don’t blame me for bringing Yufei back, how could I let you be troubled further?"

Xu Yingying glared at Li Yifei, "I’ve said, Yufei is like my own daughter now; I naturally have to take responsibility for everything about her."

Li Yifei was extremely grateful, but saying more at this moment would just be insincere. After a thought, he said, "Then these few days, I’ll try to send her to kindergarten, let her slowly adapt, she will get used to it."

Settling this, Li Yifei temporarily took on the role of a full-time dad. For his daughter, he had to do this, and in truth, being a full-time dad didn’t feel bad, but Li Yifei knew he might be busy anytime, and suddenly leaving his daughter would be even more unsettling for her.

The next day, Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan went to work, while Li Yifei and Chu Xiaoyao took Li Yufei to kindergarten.

Little Yufei wasn’t too willing, she wasn’t done playing, plus she had already gone to kindergarten in Capital City, and now had to adapt to a new environment without familiar friends.

Li Yifei and Chu Xiaoyao persuaded her with kind words and promised many benefits. Only then did the little girl reluctantly go to kindergarten, and Li Yifei worriedly waited outside the kindergarten all day, afraid something might happen to his daughter or she might cry inside.

Fortunately, Li Yufei was quite independent; although in a new environment, she could adapt without crying.

At around four, Li Yifei picked up his daughter, fulfilled all the promises of the morning, and made the little girl very happy, who also agreed to go to kindergarten again the next day.

This made Li Yifei breathe a sigh of relief; it seemed like a good start.

In the evening, Xu Yingying, despite her heavy workload, spared time to do some kindergarten parent-child activities with Li Yufei, refusing to let Chu Xiaoyao or Xu Shanshan replace her, wanting to foster a mother-daughter bond.

The little girl was asleep before nine. Xu Yingying returned to her room to work, while Xu Shanshan, in the living room, said to Li Yifei with a hint of grievance, "Brother-in-law, my foot hurts."
