Chapter 832: Chapter 873: Stricter RegulationsXu Yingying, Xu Shanshan, and Su Mengxin studied until nearly nine oâclock before heading home together. During that time, Li Yifei couldâve gotten cozy with Ning Xinâer several times, yet they did nothing. Nowadays, Li Yifei dared not make any mistakes. Whether Xu Yingying was self-closing in a coma or selectively amnesiac, it was all due to emotional issues. If everything that happened then stimulated Li Yifei, no one could predict what might occur. So, they just had to endure it.
Back at home, Xu Shanshan said to Li Yifei, "Brother-in-law, can you rub my feet tonight? Wearing high heels all day has almost killed me."
Xu Yingyingâs eyes lit up immediately and said, "You want him to massage your feet?"
Xu Shanshan rolled her eyes and said, "I mean, sis, what is that expression? My feet have problems from dancing. Brother-in-law always massages them for me. Has this slipped your mind?"
"Really? So, him massaging your feet, brother-in-law massaging a sister-in-lawâs feet, isnât that inappropriate?"
Li Yifei was a bit surprised this time. Xu Yingying had chosen to forget things related to her emotional entanglement with Li Yifei but had even forgotten about him massaging Xu Shanshanâs feet. Upon reflection, it made sense. Li Yifei massaged Xu Shanshanâs feet as Xu Yingyingâs husband, and Xu Yingying had forgotten he was her husband. How could she remember this?
Xu Shanshan casually said, "What nonsense is that? Itâs just a foot rub. Even in the spa, male technicians give us massages." Her heart was very tense though. If Xu Yingying disagreed, this kind of good life would be over.
However, Xu Yingying looked at Li Yifei again and then said, "Then rub away. Iâll go organize things. If youâre tired, rest early. Donât bother about me." Then she went into the bedroom.
Xu Shanshan stuck her tongue out at Li Yifei and ran to the bathroom to take a quick shower. She changed into pajamas and lay on the sofa, skillfully putting her small feet on Li Yifeiâs lap.
Li Yifei naturally held Xu Shanshanâs foot and began to rub it for her, but before he could do much, Xu Yingying came out, saw their posture, and frowned. When she saw Xu Shanshanâs outfit, her brow furrowed even more.
"Shanshan, go change. Dressed like that, what do you think youâre doing?"
Even though it was winter and the temperature outside was below minus ten, the heating was strong indoors, reaching twenty-five or twenty-six degrees. Wearing anything thicker could result in a sweat bath, so Xu Shanshan wore a simple gauze nightgown with bare white thighs and no bra. Lying flat like this made her chest shape particularly prominent.
Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan were used to this. In the past, Xu Yingying didnât give it much thought, so they acted as they always did. Who would have thought Xu Yingying would oppose it now?
Xu Shanshan reacted quickly, saying with a smile, "Sis, youâre jealous of your sister? If I wanted to steal Brother-in-law, I wouldâve done it long ago and wouldnât need to wait until now, right? Besides, Brother-in-law has always treated me like a sister, donât overthink it."
Xu Yingying glared at Xu Shanshan and said, "Iâm not overthinking. Itâs just that youâre no longer young, and as a woman, you should have some modesty. Youâre waving around with so little on, even if he is your brother-in-law, thatâs not okay. What if others saw, wouldnât that easily lead to gossip?"
Xu Shanshan pursed her lips and said, "Thereâs only the three of us at home, no one else, whatâs there to fear?"
Xu Yingyingâs eyes widened as she shouted, "If I say no, then no. Change now, or else no more massages!"
Xu Shanshan felt aggrieved and said, "Such ingratitude, awakening only to scold people." She muttered as she went back to the room to change.
Li Yifei, meanwhile, looked at Xu Yingying with a bright smile. Xu Yingying glared at Li Yifei and asked, "Why are you smiling?"
Li Yifei smiled and said, "Before we got married, you were this fierce. After we married, you werenât as fierce anymore. Seeing you like this now, it really makes me nostalgic."
Xu Yingying felt a bit awkward and said, "Iâve told you before, donât talk to me in that way."
"Sorry, I couldnât help it. Please forgive me, President Xu."
Li Yifeiâs earnest look made Xu Yingying feel even more uncomfortable. She said, "Iâm going back to work. Be careful with Shanshan and donât do anything over the top."
"If I wanted to, I wouldâve done it a long time ago, no need to wait until now, right?"
"Just be cautious," Xu Yingying said before returning to her room and slamming the door shut.
Xu Shanshan then came out of her room, wearing a new set of pajamas, much more formal, directly opening Xu Yingyingâs door and asking, "Is this outfit okay?"
"Much better, off you go."
"Youâre stricter than Mom," Xu Shanshan mumbled, turned around, closed the door, made a face at it, then headed straight towards Li Yifei, loudly saying, "Brother-in-law, donât look at me, donât have any ideas. Be like a monk, you hear?"
Li Yifei laughed and said, "Alright, your sister just woke up, and youâre already teasing her."
Xu Shanshan sniffed, "Sheâs only lost her memory, no other issues. Iâm not going to humor her."
Li Yifei truly followed the rules while massaging Xu Shanshanâs feet. Because every ten minutes, Xu Yingying found an excuse to come out, clearly monitoring them. Li Yifei knew Xu Yingying wasnât jealous of him as her husband; she was just watching over Xu Shanshan.
At night, Li Yifei still had to sleep on the sofa. Despite having a wife and so many women, he was reduced to sleeping on the sofa. Lifeâs unpredictability could be exemplified here when extreme happiness turned into tragedy.
The next day, Xu Yingying returned to her long-absent company. For Xu Yingying, it felt like she had just slept overnight and had come to work today, with no real adaptation issues. It was just that there had been significant progress in the companyâs situation since her coma, and she needed to familiarize herself again.
Having Su Mengxinâs help made it easy for her to get started too.
At this time, He Fangqing had already learned of Xu Yingyingâs awakening and was naturally overjoyed. Being so busy in the morning left her no chance to interact, but after lunch, she dragged Xu Yingying to her office.
"You finally woke up, which puts my mind at ease," He Fangqing said, pulling Xu Yingying to sit down.
Xu Yingying looked at He Fangqing with a peculiar gaze and said, "Sister Fangqing, did you know I lost my memory?"
He Fangqing laughed and said, "I know, but you can still remember me. Thatâs no problem."
Xu Yingying leaned back on the sofa, feeling tired. "I woke up and suddenly had a husband, Li Yifei. This really makes me uncomfortable."
"Haha...thatâs interesting. Itâs odd that you remember everything but forgot about your husband. Could it be that you really disliked him?"
"I donât know, but they said I got hurt protecting him. It seems like we had a good relationship. I just donât get how I ended up liking this unambitious guy."
"Unambitious... Yingying, your husband is quite extraordinary. Because you got hurt, in anger, he went to Japan, almost dismantling a major gang organization, even killing the boss. The whole thing ended in appeasement when your husband let them go. This even alarmed the Central Government. Whoever wants to mess with you now has to consider if they can withstand your husbandâs wrath."
"Really? Is he that powerful?" Xu Yingyingâs eyes widened.
"Youâre really something," He Fangqing shook her head, "Yifei may act casual in the company, but he used to be quite a significant figure. Now, for you, heâs shaken the global underworld. You say heâs ordinary, then who could be exceptional?"
"If thatâs the case, why did you let him be with me?" Xu Yingying stared at He Fangqing again.
Everyone exchanged information. During a chat with Su Yiyi, Xu Yingying learned of He Fangqing and Li Yifeiâs relationship, so they informally notified He Fangqing. He Fangqing smiled and said, "Iâm a divorced woman. With your husband, it was just a fling, nothing emotional. Youâre my best friend, and youâre well-matched with him. Why should I interfere? There are plenty of men in the world. If Iâm lonely, Iâll go to a bar and have my pick."
"Donât joke; I know who you are and youâre not that casual. I mean, Fangqing, I feel nothing for my marriage with Yifei. If you like him, you have every right to be with him."
"Youâd hand over your husband?" He Fangqing was amused, wrapping her arm around Xu Yingyingâs shoulder, saying, "Youâre teasing me. Whether or not Yifei agrees, I know my limits. Iâm not qualified to be his wife. If you remember the past, just keep me as a good friend."
"Iâm serious," Xu Yingying said earnestly, "To me now, he feels like a stranger. Him living in my house as such a big man, it feels awkward."
"Heâs your husband, you know. While you were in a coma, he carelessly took perfect care of you, care that no ordinary man would offer. If it were someone else, they might have left you. Now youâve finally woken, and youâre pushing him away. It just seems off."
Xu Yingying paused, never considering that perspective. If what He Fangqing said was true, Li Yifeiâs feelings for her were profound. Just for taking care of someone in a coma, she shouldnât treat him harshly.
