Chapter 742: 781Li Yifei had been taking care of He Fangqing for two days before Xu Yingying finally rushed back, and she had no objections to how Li Yifei cared for He Fangqing.
In fact, in Xu Yingyingâs heart, her best female friend was still He Fangqing. They used to be close sisters, and after Xu Yingying married Li Yifei, He Fangqing kept her distance from Li Yifei, never approaching him proactively. This was what Xu Yingying was most grateful for; at that time, she had even told He Fangqing to sleep with Li Yifei for her, but He Fangqing still didnât do that. If He Fangqing had actually followed her words, Xu Yingying would have been powerless.
Even though Xu Yingying was now quite generous, allowing Chu Xiaoyao and Su Yiyi to live in her home, there was, after all, a feeling of being coerced. To say there were no hard feelings at all would be absolutely impossible.
So although she and Chu Xiaoyao and Su Yiyi seemed as close as sisters now, her real good friend was still He Fangqing. Seeing He Fangqing could only lie in the hospital bed, Xu Yingying was truly anxious.
When Xu Yingying arrived, Li Yifei was helping He Fangqing walk slowly in the ward, which made Xu Yingying suddenly panic and said, "Didnât she just have surgery? How can she be out of bed already? What if the wound bursts open?"
He Fangqing hurriedly said, "The doctor said that only for the first twenty hours you have to lie in bed without moving, but after twenty hours, you still need to move around more to help with the recovery of the wound. I really donât want to move, but your husband insists on it, and I have no choice."
Xu Yingying then breathed a sigh of relief, came over to support He Fangqingâs other arm, and said, "Tell me, how did this happen? Now youâve even got appendicitis, this is really suffering."
He Fangqing gave a wry smile and said, "This darn thing is always a curse; itâs a good thing to cut it out early, but the timing really couldnât be worse, just when itâs the busiest time."
"You donât need to worry about the company, itâs mostly on track now, not like at the beginning, when you couldnât leave for even a day. Besides, you now have a dedicated secretary. If thereâs anything, just let him do it. He has been idling around enough these days; it would be a pity not to have him work and earn his salary."
Li Yifei, with a face of grievance, said, "Hey, wife, itâs not nice to be so harsh. The money I make is also for our family to spend."
"Hmph, taking care of Fangqing now is also a big deal. Fangqing is the chief financial officer in the company, much more important than you. If you take good care of her, that also counts as you doing good work."
The three of them joked and laughed for a while, and with Li Yifeiâs help, He Fangqing lay down on the bed again. Normally, a patient who had just had surgery would find getting in and out of bed very painful, as no matter how you exert force, itâs easy to pull the wound. However, Li Yifei didnât let He Fangqing suffer this torment; when she moved in and out of bed, she didnât have to use any strength at all, completely relying on Li Yifeiâs arrangement, which required great strength, something ordinary people could not easily do.
"Wife, I have an idea," Li Yifei said to Xu Yingying after sitting down.
"What idea? Iâm telling you, you just take care of Fangqing these two days and youâre not allowed to do anything else."
"I know, but there are many inconveniences in the hospital, and Fangqing can now move. I think we should just take her to our home, which would be more convenient to take care of her."
"Thatâs actually a good idea, but what about the IV drips?"
"I can do that myself."
"You can do that?" Xu Yingyingâs eyes widened.
Li Yifei laughed and said, "Of course, I can. If youâre not confident in me, I can ask a doctor from the clinic in our neighborhood to come over to insert the IV. I can just be responsible for removing it."
Li Yifei hadnât discussed this matter with He Fangqing in advance, and He Fangqing hurriedly said, "Forget it, thatâs too inconvenient, moving into your house even more so."
Xu Yingying immediately said, "Weâve moved to a new house, I havenât told you yet. Now there are four bedrooms and two living rooms upstairs and downstairs. You moving in will be absolutely no problem, so letâs do this, and weâll handle the procedures now to take Fangqing back home."
Although He Fangqing wanted to object, Li Yifei and Xu Yingying didnât give her a chance, and the procedures were quickly completed. Li Yifei carried He Fangqing horizontally out of the hospital, and they took a car back home.
Seeing Li Yifeiâs new home, He Fangqing was very impressed. There were two guest rooms downstairs. Meng Xiaofei, that girl, loved to come and stay here when she was back. There was also another room, which was just right for He Fangqing.
Xu Yingying only sat at home for a while before she hurriedly rushed back to the company, leaving only He Fangqing and Li Yifei in the house.
"Yifei..." He Fangqing lay on the sofa, looking at Li Yifei peeling an apple, and softly called out.
Li Yifei turned his head toward her, smiled, and said, "Whatâs up?"
With a gaze as soft as water, He Fangqing said gently, "Thank you."
Li Yifei glared and said, "There you go again. If you thank me one more time, Iâm going to be upset with you."
He Fangqing closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened them again, there was a look of intoxication and happiness in her gaze as she said, "To have lived with you for this period of time, I am satisfied."
Li Yifei was taken aback, his mouth curling into a smile as he said, "Fangqing, I really am sorry."
"Why are you apologizing?" He Fangqingâs hand gently caressed Li Yifeiâs leg.
"I canât give you..."
He Fangqing chuckled, cutting off Li Yifeiâs words, "I never asked for anything, did I? Youâre my good friend Yingyingâs husband. Donât you men have a saying, âDonât covet a friendâs wifeâ? We women feel the same. Yingying has been so good to me, if I were to compete with her for her husband, wouldnât I be completely inhumane?"
"Heh..." Li Yifei could only give a light laugh.
He Fangqing smiled again and then said, "But... Yifei, right now I really feel a bit like being with you, being alone is just too lonely."
Li Yifeiâs mouth fell open, not knowing how to reply for a moment.
"Donât worry, Iâm not trying to steal you as a husband. Could I just be your mistress like Yiyi and Xiaoyao?"
Li Yifei rubbed his nose and said, "Arenât you already?"
"Itâs not the same, now I canât see you every day, I canât talk to you. Itâs just the occasional time we spend together, you know, doing that thing in bed, and then you leave. I... I still feel very lonely."
Li Yifei understood He Fangqingâs feelings. Actually, he didnât feel good about it either, but it was also something he dared not agree to recklessly.
"Iâm not trying to trouble you, Yifei. It was just a thought, in fact, Yingying had already told me to spend more time with you, but I never did. Itâs only these past two days lying in bed that I began to let my mind wander foolishly. Heh, donât take it seriously."
With He Fangqingâs words, Li Yifei felt even worse inside. After hesitating, he said, "Fangqing, about this, let me feel out Yingyingâs attitude, see if she agrees or not. If she can agree, then you can move in here in the future."
"No, you canât ask her about this. If you do and Yingying agrees, thatâs fine, but if she doesnât, then it will be difficult for both of us to face each other after that. Besides, I was really just having a sudden thought before; now that Iâve calmed down, I no longer want to do it."
"Iâm sorry, itâs all my fault for causing you this mental burden. Please, Yifei, letâs not think about it anymore, okay? If you keep this up, Iâll just leave right now."
Seeing He Fangqing really about to get up, Li Yifei was startled and quickly pressed down on her shoulders, saying, "Okay, okay, I wonât think about it. Weâll keep things as they are now."
"Mm-hmm, itâs just that I havenât gone to work these two days. Once I start working again, I wonât have so many thoughts. The more idle I am, the more problems I have, heh..."
"Here, have a bite of apple. Chew it well; it aids digestion." Li Yifei cut a small piece of apple and brought it to He Fangqingâs mouth.
He Fangqing smiled sweetly and, following Li Yifeiâs suggestion, chewed slowly for a good while before swallowing. She hadnât been playing mind games with Li Yifei; she had just been moved by impulse at the moment. But after having spoken, she regretted it deeply since it put Li Yifei in a difficult position. Thatâs why she tried so hard to backtrack, but whatâs done was done, and despite what He Fangqing said, Li Yifei couldnât forget the words she had uttered a moment ago.
By evening, everyone was home. Even though He Fangqing was an additional presence, everyone was very familiar with each other, and nobody felt uncomfortable. However, before going to bed, Xu Yingying said, "Husband, tonight let Sister Fangqing sleep in Sister Mengxinâs room. It will be easier to look after her that way."
This was a good idea, and Li Yifei immediately agreed. He carried He Fangqing into Su Mengxinâs room, and Xu Yingying followed, chuckling softly, "Husband, you can sleep here with Fangqing tonight."
"Ah?" Both Li Yifei and He Fangqing were stunned.
Xu Yingying shrugged and said, "Sister Fangqing is still having difficulty getting up, and I canât be of much help later on. Itâll still be you who has to do it. If Sister Fangqing needs to use the bathroom or something in the middle of the night, how will she call you? You can just stay here."
He Fangqing immediately protested, "No need, no need, I wonât get up at night, and besides, how can you put your husband in my room? What would that look like?"
Xu Yingying gave He Fangqing a playful look and said, "Sister Fangqing, stop saying that. If I can accept Xiaoyao and Yiyi, would I care about you?"
"I..." He Fangqing was suddenly at a loss for words. Before, when Xu Yingying said such things, she always felt they werenât true, but today, in Xu Yingyingâs own home, to hear her say these words, there could be no falsehood.
Should she agree or not? If she agreed, she could legitimately become a member of the family. If she didnât, she might never have such a chance again.
