Chapter 571: Chapter 583 MassageLi Yifei gently patted Michelleâs shoulder, chuckled, and said, "Michelle, itâs just a dinner I made for you, arenât you overreacting a bit?"
Michelle hugged Li Yifeiâs waist tightly once more before letting go of her arms, wiped the tears from her face, and gave him a sweet smile, "I am moved, I really didnât expect you to cook for me, Brother Li, youâre so nice to me."
Li Yifei inwardly cursed his luck. The only reason he had cooked for Michelle was that she mentioned it offhandedly, so he did it without much thought, not realizing it would provoke such a strong reaction from her. And seeing how Michelle reacted, he could feel that his actions had made her feelings for him deepen even further.
Seeing Li Yifeiâs expression, Michelle burst out laughing and said, "Look at how nervous you are. Iâve liked you for more than a day or two, and itâs not like you donât know that. At most, this will make me like you a little more, but I never thought about competing with Sister Yingying. And I canât win against her anyways, sheâs so outstanding. Itâs normal for you to like Sister Yingying, Iâm just happy liking you in secret."
Li Yifei coughed awkwardly, truly at a loss for how to respond to Michelle.
Meanwhile, Michelle had already picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a mouthful of vegetables, and started to chew slowly, immediately praising the dish, "Delicious, delicious, Brother Li your cooking skills are truly amazing, much tastier than the chefs here at the hotel."
Relieved that Michelle had changed the subject, Li Yifei said, "If you like it, eat more."
"Mhm, Iâm definitely going to finish all these dishes tonight," Michelle said as she took another bite, then looked at Li Yifei, "Brother Li, youâre not going to skip eating, are you?"
"Iâll eat too. I put in so much effort; how could I just watch you eat alone?" Li Yifei said with a smile as he sat down and started to eat.
Michelleâs appetite seemed unusually great that day, eating incessantly, which startled Li Yifei a bit. After a while, he said to her, "Michelle, stop eating, youâre going to overdo it."
"No, I havenât had my fill yet," Michelle replied, reaching for another mouthful of food.
Li Yifei held Michelleâs hand to stop her from continuing to eat and said softly, "Really, stop eating. Youâve had as much as I usually eat. At the office, you canât even eat half of what you did today. If you keep this up, your stomach will suffer."
Michelle pouted, unwilling to give in, "Itâs because the companyâs chef doesnât cook well, but what Brother Li makes is so delicious, I just want to eat it."
Li Yifei sighed silently and said, "If you want to eat, I can cook for you again in the future, but I donât want you to ruin your stomach. Be good, stop eating, and go lie down in bed." Then he went around to Michelleâs side and, without a word, carried her to the bed.
A single "be good" turned Michelle as docile as a kitten, letting Li Yifei carry her to bed without resistance, her eyes lovingly fixated on him without wavering.
Li Yifei pretended not to notice. After setting Michelle down, he wheeled the cart out of the room, where staff would take care of it, before returning to the room.
The two of them chatted idly for a while, and Li Yifei gave Michelle her medication, "Michelle, let me give you a massage. Massaging a sprain can help it heal faster."
Of course Michelle knew what a massage was, and the thought of Li Yifei rubbing her waist made her face turn red instantly.
"Whatâs wrong?" Li Yifei asked as he looked at Michelle, who remained quiet and puzzled.
"No... nothing," Michelle hastily said, lowering her head, not daring to meet Li Yifeiâs gaze, "Then... go ahead with the massage."
Li Yifei removed Michelleâs shoes, looked at her swollen ankle, and said, "You should take off your socks."
Michelle gave a quiet hum of acknowledgment and slowly peeled off her socks. Li Yifei moved to sit by her feet and reached out to grab her foot.
"Donât, donât!" Michelle suddenly exclaimed, saying urgently, "Brother Li, Iâve been running around all day, and... and my feet are smelly. I need to wash them first."
Li Yifei sniffed and said, "I didnât smell anything."
Michelle shook her head vigorously, insisting, "Still canât do it, the weather is quite hot, and Iâve been wearing shoes all day, I definitely sweated. Brother Li, could you trouble yourself to get me a basin of water? Otherwise... otherwise, I really wonât let you massage."
Li Yifei couldnât help but smile, finding Michelle rather similar to Xu Shanshan. But whereas Xu Shanshan would wash scrupulously clean because she was afraid Li Yifei wouldnât give her a massage, Michelle wanted to wash her feet first because she was worried he actually would.
After fetching a basin of water, Michelle hurriedly washed by herself. It was just a sprained ankle, and despite the difficulty walking, washing her feet was no problem at all.
"Brother Li, can you pass me the soap?"
Li Yifei laughed, "Are you always this bothered just to wash your feet?"
"Absolutely, if my feet stink and it bothers you, then I have to make sure theyâre fragrant," Michelle said with a blush, still joking with Li Yifei.
Li Yifei went to get Michelle some soap. Michelle lathered both her feet completely with soap, then rinsed them clean before saying to Li Yifei, "Could you please get me another basin of clean water, Brother Li?"
Li Yifei couldnât help but feel both amused and helpless at Michelleâs request. Nevertheless, he changed the water for her. After Michelle washed again, she dried her feet, sat on the bed, stuck out her tongue at Li Yifei, and said, "Iâm so embarrassed to have Brother Li prepare footbath water for me."
Li Yifei laughed and said, "Whatâs the big deal if I fetch some water for you since youâre sick?"
After pouring the clean water, Li Yifei returned to the room and sat down at Michelleâs feet, saying, "Michelle, this might hurt a bit, so try to bear with it."
Michelle nodded continuously and said, "Iâm not afraid. Go ahead, Brother Li." Her face flushed as she spoke.
Li Yifei nodded and shifted his attention to Michelleâs feet. Her feet were delicate, a bit bony compared to Xu Shanshanâs, with very white skin, like snow. The skin was so thin that the bluish veins underneath were visible. Such fragile feet seemed like they would break if handled a bit too roughly.
"Brother Li..." Michelle said, her voice tinged with embarrassment when she noticed that Li Yifei was staring at her feet without moving.
Li Yifei was slightly taken aback and said with a bit of awkardness, "Michelle, your feet are really pretty."
Despite feeling even more embarrassed, Michelle was overjoyed to hear Li Yifei compliment her and asked, "Brother Li, do you really think my feet are pretty?"
"Yes, they are slender and petite, with round toes. Theyâre indeed rare and beautiful. Nowadays, most girls have larger feet because theyâre well-nourished and without much restriction, so itâs rare to find small feet like yours."
Michelleâs eyes beamed with happiness, and she shyly asked, "Brother Li, you donât have a foot fetish, do you?"
Li Yifei chuckled and replied, "I donât, but I still enjoy seeing such beautiful feet."
The blush on Michelleâs face was no longer just from shyness, but also from excitement and thrill as she said, "What about Sister Yingyingâs feet? Are they pretty too?"
Li Yifei answered with a smile, "Yingyingâs feet are pretty too, but theyâre slightly bigger than yours, not as dainty."
Michelle felt even more triumphant, as if she had finally found something where she could outdo Xu Yingying. She now felt bolder and said, "Then go ahead and massage them, Brother Li."
Li Yifei nodded, gently took hold of Michelleâs left foot, and Michelleâs foot immediately tensed up, followed by a cry of pain.
Li Yifei quickly said, "Relax, donât be tense. When you tense up, youâre affecting your ankle."
Michelle nodded slightly, but she couldnât relax her foot while Li Yifei held it. The warm heat from Li Yifeiâs palm traveled from the sole of her foot throughout her body, causing her to tremble.
Li Yifei could understand why Michelle reacted this way. A girlâs foot is a sensitive area. Being held by a man, especially by a man she liked, would surely provoke a response.
"Michelle, do you think weâll get a bigger bonus when we go back this time?" Li Yifei brought up a topic to divert Michelleâs attention.
Biting her lip and emitting a soft hum from her nose, Michelleâs reaction indicated she might not have heard Li Yifeiâs words.
Li Yifei continued, "This time we saved the company more than eight hundred thousand. I think the company should definitely reward us with something. Ha, business is business, personal is personal, Yingying probably wonât reject that idea, do you think we could get tens of thousands?"
"Really?" Michelle finally had her attention drawn, looking at Li Yifei in surprise.
"I donât see why not. Yingying is quite adept at managing the company, and youâve made such a great contribution, naturally, you should be rewarded."
"But itâs just part of my job."
"Regardless of being part of your job, if you spent fifty-five million, itâd be the same, and youâd still get so much kickback. Now, buying at this price saved the company so much money. How could they not reward you?"
Michelle stuck out her tongue and said, "Iâm quite happy if itâs a reward for me. Ouch, that hurts!"
Li Yifei took the opportunity when Michelle was distracted to start massaging her, but the moment he applied pressure, she immediately cried out in pain.
"Bear with it for a while, itâll get better. If you canât endure it, you might not be able to get out of bed for a few days," Li Yifei encouraged Michelle, while his hands remained gentle as he massaged her.
Michelle then bore the pain without making a sound, her lips tightly pursed. Watching Li Yifeiâs serious demeanor, the pain seemed to fade away, and she was lost, simply gazing at him, utterly enchanted.
