Chapter 943: Chapter 984: Forcing He FangqingLi Yifei parked the car outside He Fangqingâs apartment complex. Just as He Fangqing was getting out of the car, Xu Yingying said, "Fangqing, I just remembered something else."
He Fangqing turned around and asked, "What else is there?"
"Itâll take too long to explain here, letâs go to your place to talk. Oh, and honey, could you buy some groceries? Weâll have dinner at Fangqingâs place tonight."
He Fangqing laughed, "Then Iâm getting a bargain here, getting to eat a meal cooked by a great chef tonight."
Xu Yingying smiled, "Youâve been working so hard, having him cook us a nice meal is the least we can do. Honey, make sure to prepare lots of tasty dishes to properly treat Sister Fangqing." Then she got out of the car with He Fangqing.
Li Yifei bought some groceries and returned to He Fangqingâs place. Although he hadnât been there many times, he was familiar with the place. Seeing the two women engrossed in work when he entered, he didnât disturb them and went to the kitchen to cook.
He Fangqing often cooked for herself, so the kitchen was well stocked.
In about an hour, Li Yifei had made six dishes and a soup. He knew both of their tastes well, so he cooked what they liked.
"Workaholics, come and eat," Li Yifei called them over.
"It smells amazing," He Fangqing said as she approached the dining room, her nose twitching and her mouth watering.
Xu Yingying laughed, "Our husband has really outdone himself. Letâs eat."
The three of them sat down, and Xu Yingying laughed again, "Honey, didnât you get any wine?"
Li Yifei shook his head, "You didnât mention wanting to drink. If youâd like, I can go get some now."
He Fangqing quickly said, "No need, I still have a bottle of red wine here."
Xu Yingying laughed, "Then bring it out, itâs more romantic with red wine."
With red wine, the three enjoyed a lavish dinner. Xu Yingying was in a great mood, and so was He Fangqing. It had been a long time since she had such a nice meal at home, especially with Li Yifei there, even though he was just Xu Yingyingâs husband.
He Fangqing had been divorced once, so she was generally more restrained and clear-headed about romantic matters. However, despite her clarity, as a mature woman she naturally had her desires, often dreaming at midnight of companionship.
But she wasnât a casual person; her only bar encounter had been with Li Yifei, prompted by deep sadness which had driven her to drink that night. Afterward, she never visited bars again, even though she had desires, she never considered seeking random men for comfort.
The only person who could fulfill that need was Li Yifei, but He Fangqing didnât want to create conflicts between him and Xu Yingying because of her feelings, so she firmly controlled herself, refraining from approaching him. Like Michelle, she immersed herself in work to keep her mind off such matters.
Xu Yingying raised her glass again, "Sister Fangqing, letâs have another drink. Letâs not talk about work tonight, just relax."
He Fangqing also lifted her glass and leaned back in her chair, the slight buzz from the wine making her quite enjoy the moment. "Yes, I really need to unwind today. Iâve been so exhausted with you being on business trips."
Xu Yingying nodded, "Yes, I was unconscious for over two months, which was hard on you, then I had to travel again. The company would be in trouble without you. Sister Fangqing, with the company doing so well now, you really have been magnificent."
He Fangqing sipped her wine, "Yingying, saying that to me, arenât you being too formal? We started this business together, and this company has grown from nothing, itâs like my own child, I would never want anything to go wrong with it."
Xu Yingying laughed, "Thatâs true too, the company is our familyâs, your hard work is expected."
"Our family?" He Fangqing paused, she knew the company had been given to Li Yifei by Su Mengxin, thus belonging to Xu Yingying, but Xu Yingyingâs "our family" confused her.
Xu Yingying smiled warmly, "Yes, the company is our own familyâs."
He Fangqing hesitated, but with her intelligence, she caught the underlying meaning in Xu Yingyingâs words and laughed, "Yingying, stop joking, the company belongs to you and Yifei, Iâm just an employee."
Xu Yingying didnât respond to He Fangqingâs comment, instead, she gave Li Yifei a meaningful look, "Honey, seems like Sister Fangqing is a bit confused, probably exhausted from work lately. Could you massage her head a bit to help her clear up?"
Li Yifei, now very obedient to Xu Yingying, immediately stood up and positioned himself behind He Fangqing, his hands gently pressing on her head.
He Fangqing didnât pull away, and looked at Xu Yingying helplessly, "Yingying, Iâve already made myself clear to you, what are you trying to pull here?"
Xu Yingying did not answer He Fangqing. Instead, she turned to ask, "Do you know how many women our husband has now?"
"Sigh... It seems like there really are quite a few," He Fangqing gave a wry smile.
"Everyone counted at home yesterday, a total of eleven."
"Eleven?" He Fangqing exclaimed in surprise, then scolded, "I tell you Yifei, isnât this a bit too much? How did you end up with so many, and I donât even feel like there are that many?"
Xu Yingying rolled her eyes at Li Yifei and said, "Yiyi, Xiaoyao, Ning Xinâer, Yunzhu, Lin Qiong, and Mengxinâthese are the ones you know. Plus me, that makes seven. Then thereâs also Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao, the two hosts."
He Fangqing elbowed Li Yifei and said discontentedly, "You rascal, when did you start hooking up with those two?"
Li Yifei chuckled dryly and said, "Quite a while ago."
"Unbelievable, so who are the two missing then?"
Xu Yingying said, "There are also Mengxinâs two good friends, Xiao Lingâer and Zheng Yuling, both from prominent families in the Capital City."
He Fangqing bumped Li Yifei again and said, "You really are somethingâhooking up with people from the Capital City. Unbelievable."
Xu Yingying sighed and said, "Yeah, I really donât know why there are so many foolish people who know itâs a pit of fire and yet still jump into it. Oh, and thereâs also Michelle, that girl whoâs obviously been tortured by love recently. As soon as our husband nods, she would definitely throw herself at him."
Mentioning Michelle, He Fangqing sighed and said, "Michelle really is lovesick. Iâve tried to talk her out of it, but sheâs obviously so enchanted by this guy that she canât break free."
Xu Yingying nodded and said, "Iâm not going to get involved in Michelleâs issues. If she wants to, then let her."
Li Yifei wanted to say something, but thinking about Michelleâs haggard appearance that morning, and her sobbing in his arms during the day, he couldnât bring himself to say anything else.
He Fangqing shook her head and said, "Yingying, I really admire you. This guy is such a Casanova, yet you donât rein him in and still indulge him."
Xu Yingying shrugged helplessly and said, "I originally wanted to pretend to have amnesia to control him, but seeing everyone being so accommodating because of my âamnesiaâ, it just didnât sit well with me. If I kept pretending, they would continue to indulge me. That would be too selfish of me. In the end, I just had to admit defeat."
What could He Fangqing say at that point? Li Yifei just had that charm with women, making it difficult to leave once they were with him.
"Sister Fangqing, look, I can tolerate so much, yet itâs you who has to share your husband alone. It really doesnât sit well with me, so I just wanted to say, why donât you just join us? That way weâre all good sisters. Wouldnât that be better?"
He Fangqing gave a bitter smile and shook her head, "Yingying, letâs not. You know Iâve already gone through one failed marriage. Dealing with a man whoâs a womanizer doesnât sit well with me. I donât want to get involved with this guy."
Xu Yingying looked into He Fangqingâs eyes and said, "Really?"
He Fangqing avoided Xu Yingyingâs gaze, but still bit her lip and said, "Itâs true."
Xu Yingying shook her head and said, "Sister Fangqing, I know youâre not being honest. I also know why you keep persisting like this. Itâs because you... feel inferior."
He Fangqing was taken aback, and Xu Yingyingâs words had struck a nerve. She sighed and said, "Youâre right, I do feel inferior. Yifeiâs other women, they have looks, they have talents, and none of them have been married. Whereas Iâm just a woman whoâs been through a divorce, Iâve had a man."
Xu Yingying immediately said, "So what? The divorce wasnât your fault, it was that man who was faithless. Does a mistake in choosing a man once mean one canât make another choice?"
"One can choose... itâs just that I..."
Xu Yingying cut off He Fangqing, looked at Li Yifei, and said, "Do you care?"
Li Yifei hastily said, "I donât mind at all. Iâve always been fond of Fangqing."
Xu Yingying then said to He Fangqing, "Did you hear that? What else do you have to say?"
"I... Yingying, even if Yifei doesnât mind, it still bothers me. Iâd feel uncomfortable being with you all."
Xu Yingying looked at He Fangqing, suddenly stood up, and said, "Husband, carry her into the bedroom. Today letâs let Sister Fangqing try it out and see if she feels comfortable or not."
Li Yifei was startled for a moment, and Xu Yingying glared at him, saying, "Donât you want it to be like that day with Xinyue and me?"
Li Yifei was overjoyed, quickly scooped up He Fangqing, and rushed toward the bedroom, amazed that Xu Yingying would agree to such a thing when she wasnât even drunk.
