Chapter 524: 534More than an hour later, everyone had already drunk quite a bit, but apart from Cui Tianwei, the rest were still in high spirits, so there was no intention of ending the gathering.
At this moment, Li Yifeiâs phone rang. Seeing that it was Xu Shanshan calling, he stepped out to take the call, as he wasnât ready to announce his marriage yet.
"Brother-in-law, why havenât you come back yet?" As soon as the call connected, Xu Shanshan started questioning Li Yifei. However, despite her fierce tone, there was a certain charm to it that made her scolding feel anything but unpleasant.
"Still drinking, probably need a bit more time," Li Yifei replied with a smile, "I promise to the boss, Iâll definitely be home before midnight."
"Hmph, midnight wonât do. You have to be back by ten, or else Iâll be asleep already. Iâm so tired today, and my feet are sore."
"Alright, alright, Iâll try to come back earlier."
"Heehee, I knew you were the best, brother-in-law. Also, bring some late-night snacks back for us."
Li Yifei cheerfully said, "No problem, what would you like?"
After a brief chat, Xu Shanshan finally hung up. Li Yifei shook his head; when it came to watching over his outings, Xu Shanshan, his sister-in-law, was much stricter than Xu Yingying, his wife. Anyone who didnât know better would definitely think Xu Shanshan was his wife.
Just as he was about to go back in, he saw Qian Feifei walking over, presumably returning from the restroom, so Li Yifei waited to enter the private room with her.
However, as Qian Feifei reached the door of a private room, a few people came out. She initially stepped aside to let them pass but then excitedly called out, "Li Xinyue, Song Lianyao!"
It was indeed Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao who emerged, along with several of their friends. Hearing someone call their names, both women habitually smiled, prepared to leave, but their steps soon halted as they looked at Qian Feifei.
Qian Feifei, even more excited, said, "Iâm Qian Feifei, we had dinner together last time."
Li Xinyue suddenly recalled who Qian Feifei was and quickly said, "Youâre Li... Yifeiâs classmate."
Qian Feifei, more thrilled, replied, "Yes, yes, Iâm his classmate Qian Feifei."
Li Xinyue squinted and said, "So youâre out dining with Li Yifei." Seará´h the NovelĆire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Yeah, yeah! Class reunion, having dinner together."
Song Lianyao immediately said with a smile, "You donât mind if we come over and toast, do you?"
"Toast?" Qian Feifei was momentarily confused. Who were Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao going to toast if they joined them?
Li Yifei heard this from behind and was speechless, so he stepped forward and said, "Xinyue, Lianyao, letâs skip the toasting."
"Li... Yifei!" Upon hearing his voice, both women turned around simultaneously and rushed to Li Yifei, grabbing hold of his arms on either side.
Qian Feifei was stunned, and so were the girls who came with Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao. Who was this guy that made Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao act so inappropriately and affectionately?
Li Yifei bitterly smiled and said, "Canât we not be so excited?"
Only then did Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao realize they might have overreacted. However, since they were already holding onto him, letting go immediately would seem awkward. Li Xinyue teasingly said to Li Yifei, "We havenât seen you for so long; can we not be excited?"
Song Lianyao looked at him with a hint of grievance, "Itâs been such a long time, and you havenât even called us. Thatâs really not fair."
Li Yifei couldnât blame them and, with a smile, said, "Alright, alright, thatâs my fault. Iâll definitely remember to call you in the future."
Li Xinyue playfully said, "Thatâs more like it, then we wonât blame you."
Song Lianyao glanced at his outfit and said, "Yifei, why are you dressed like this?"
Li Xinyue also noticed, let out a light laugh, and said, "Are you attending a costume party?"
Li Yifei puffed out his chest and said, "Iâm currently an excellent security guard."
Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao immediately burst into laughter. Li Yifei in a security uniform seemed so amusing, especially paired with his demeanor, which was humorously exaggerated. They didnât know Li Yifei was indeed a security guardâthe manager of the security department.
After joking for a moment, they released his arms and noticed their bewildered companions and Qian Feifei.
"Xinyue, Lianyao, whoâs this?" Finally, someone snapped back to reality and asked Li Yifei, staring at him.
Knowing Li Yifei liked to keep a low profile, Li Xinyue didnât dare reveal his identity and simply smiled, "Yifei is a friend of ours; we get along quite well. You could say heâs our good-guy friend."
"Good-guy friend?" A girl laughed and came over to pinch Li Yifeiâs arm, saying, "Not bad, very strong. Heâs not your kept pretty boy, is he?"
All of the girls giggled, and another one even touched Li Yifeiâs chest playfully, "Really nice, these strong pecs; I bet your skills are quite good too?"
Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao were shocked. Their friends often joked around, but their antics could upset Li Yifei, which would be problematic.
Li Yifei, however, laughed and said, "Ladies, Iâm a decent person, so please donât tease me."
Everyone laughed again. Relieved, Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao realized he wasnât upset.
"Alright, alright, you all move on. Weâll go over to liven up things with Yifei," Song Lianyao said.
Although reluctant, seeing Li Xinyue and Song Lianyaoâs familiarity with Li Yifei, the others didnât linger and turned to leave, not forgetting to make a few more teasing remarks.
"Yif... Yifei... you and they are so close?" Qian Feifei finally comprehended and asked Li Yifei, stammering.
Li Yifei smiled and said, "Didnât you see? We do have a pretty good relationship."
Qian Feifei looked at Li Yifei, especially in that security uniform, and then at the glamorous Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao. It seemed unlikely that they should be so close, but what she witnessed was indeed two glamorous TV station hostesses getting cozy with Li Yifei.
Since Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao stayed behind, Li Yifei couldnât send them away, so he brought them back to their private room.
As soon as Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao entered, the room fell silent.
Contrary to her earlier excitement, Qian Feifei now proudly said, "Whatâs wrong? Donât you recognize them?"
Tao Yizhong swallowed and said, "Li Xinyue, Song Lianyao, why are you here?"
Li Xinyue let out a light laugh, "Last time, we still hosted your wedding. Why so unwelcoming now?"
Tao Yizhong was immediately embarrassed, "No, no, just surprised. We were just talking about you, and you showed up so quickly."
"What were you saying about us?" Song Lianyao immediately asked with excitement. Talking about them in Li Yifeiâs presence piqued their curiosity and thrill.
Qian Feifei quickly chimed in, "Last time, you hosted Tao Yizhongâs wedding. Our soon-to-be wed, Cui Tianwei, also wanted to invite you to host his wedding, but we knew you were unavailable that day."
"Unavailable? Who said we were unavailable?" Li Xinyue immediately inquired in confusion.
"August 8th, donât you have an event at the Provincial Television Station?" Wu Shentong, who was also from Mile City, although he had never met Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao in person, recognized them from TV. He immediately added.
Song Lianyao laughed, "August 8th, it seems there is such an event, but since itâs Yifeiâs classmate getting married, we must lend a hand, no matter what."
Li Xinyue also smiled, "Yes, weâll be there."
Cui Tianwei was dumbfounded, stammering and unable to respond. Initially, Li Yifei hadnât planned to ask them, but since they volunteered, he couldnât turn them down. Otherwise, Cui Tianwei would despise him. This, however, made everyone perceive Li Yifeiâs relationship with the women was extraordinary.
Li Yifei could only smile and say, "If you take on Cui Tianweiâs wedding, you might not dodge hosting for everyone here when they marry."
Li Xinyue chuckled, "Why do we need to dodge? To be honored with hosting weddings is our privilege."
Song Lianyao also winked at Li Yifei and added, "Iâm worried youâll not invite us to host when itâs your turn."
Li Yifei understood these two used this opportunity to get closer to him, secretly hoping for more of his bachelor classmates.
"Have a seat, donât be shy now that youâre here," Li Yifei said, pulling out a chair.
Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao quickly sat on either side of Li Yifei, comfortably, as if this was a rehearsed routine.
From othersâ perspectives, though, it meant something different. These two likely shouldâve sat together, yet they flanked Li Yifei instead, obviously centering him.
Wasnât Li Yifei just a security guard now? How did he warrant Li Xinyue and Song Lianyaoâs favor? It was puzzling, making him seem like some top-tier young master, enjoying the best of both worlds here.
