Chapter 270: Chapter 277 Let’s Compete Together

"Brother-in-law, sister, you’re all right?" As soon as the door opened, Xu Shanshan walked in with a grin.

Xu Yingying smiled slightly and said, "Shanshan, today I’m formally telling you, if you like your brother-in-law, you also have the right to fight for it. I, Xu Yingying, won’t rely on my status as an elder sister to pressure you. If you like someone, you should strive for it. I want to defeat you fair and square, so you won’t feel unsatisfied later."

Xu Shanshan widened her eyes, looked at Xu Yingying, then at Li Yifei, wrinkling her cute little nose and said, "Are you having a fever?"

Xu Yingying shot her sister a look and said, "I’m giving you a chance now. If you don’t take it, don’t blame me later."

Xu Shanshan looked at Li Yifei again, who immediately said, "Shanshan, don’t listen to your sister’s nonsense. She’s not thinking straight today."

Xu Shanshan nodded repeatedly and said, "I feel the same. What did you do to my sister to make her like this?"

Xu Yingying was mildly annoyed by their back-and-forth, huffed, and said, "Shanshan, this is your own choice. Yifei, come on, let’s go cook."

Saying this, Xu Yingying stood up, hooked her arm around Li Yifei’s, and pulled him out of the room.

Li Yifei initially wanted to pull his arm away, but Xu Yingying held tight. He couldn’t free himself unless he exerted real force, so he could only smile bitterly as he followed her out of the bedroom.

Xu Shanshan shook her head vigorously, feeling like she couldn’t process any of this. Today, for some reason, Xu Yingying seemed very sincere. Could it be that big sister really had fallen for brother-in-law?

Thinking about that, Xu Shanshan immediately brightened up. If her sister truly liked Li Yifei, then her brother-in-law would indeed have a real chance.

"No way! My sister is a klutz and doesn’t know how to date. Even if she likes brother-in-law, she won’t be able to keep him willingly. I still need to turn up the heat so they can actually get together."

Xu Shanshan’s eyes twinkled like a cunning little fox, and she quickly came up with a great idea before running out of the bedroom, shouting.

Li Yifei wanted to escape, but Xu Yingying wouldn’t let him, going so far as to hide his shoes to prevent a getaway. He couldn’t very well leave barefoot, so he made a lavish dinner, hoping that once Xu Yingying, the fake wife, and Xu Shanshan, the fake sister-in-law, were full and satisfied, they’d let him off.

In the past, when cooking, Xu Yingying wouldn’t even come to help or even take a look, but today, she donned a little apron and was bustling around the kitchen, assisting Li Yifei.

"I say, Yingying, my dear Xu president, could you please stop helping here? I can handle it myself." Seeing Xu Yingying was not only unhelpful but actually messing things up—discarding the edible parts of vegetables and keeping the inedible ones, creating a mess with the previously prepared ingredients—Li Yifei finally couldn’t stand it and tried to chase her out.

Xu Yingying was unfazed, smiling as she said, "I know I’m not doing well, but you can teach me how."

"You’re just not the cooking type. You’re better off managing the company."

"That won’t do. As a woman, I must have a woman’s consciousness. I can’t just not know how to do anything, or you might get angry."

"Why would I get mad at you? Please, ma’am, hurry up and leave. Shanshan, do you want dinner or not? Quickly, get your sister out of here." Seeing Xu Yingying was determined, Li Yifei had to call on Xu Shanshan for help.

Xu Shanshan came in, grinning, with her arms crossed, saying to Xu Yingying, "I say, sis, could you stop showing off here? When it comes to this, brother-in-law and I make a better team."

Xu Yingying glared, "You think you’re better than me?"

"Of course!"

Xu Yingying scoffed, "Come on, you don’t know how to cook either."

Xu Shanshan, raising her delicate chin, said proudly, "Even if I can’t cook, when I’m here with brother-in-law, I chat and keep him company rather than causing chaos like you do."

Xu Yingying still felt a bit unwilling to give in, but seeing Li Yifei’s frustrated expression, she had to say, "Fine, I won’t mess around. I’ll just keep you company with conversation."

Li Yifei glanced at both of them and said, "The kitchen’s small; if you’re both here, how am I supposed to move around? Plus, with your delicate skin, if you get splattered with oil, then I’ll have to take care of you both, my ladies. Please, leave early."

Xu Yingying reluctantly left the kitchen. As soon as she did, Xu Shanshan joined her in the living room, dragging her sister to sit down. Xu Shanshan asked, "Sis, was everything you said just now true?"

Xu Yingying raised her eyebrows, "Of course it was true."

Xu Shanshan blinked mischievously, "Hehe, aren’t you afraid that if you lose to me, my brother-in-law will marry me?"

"How many times have I lost to you since we were little? I won’t lose to you this time either." Xu Yingying exuded strong confidence.

Xu Shanshan wore a similarly proud expression, "Not necessarily. Before, I couldn’t be bothered to compete with you, but I really like brother-in-law now. If you let me fight, this time I might not lose."

"Really? Whatever you can do, I can do too. Don’t think that you can just cheer up your brother-in-law and I can’t. I just never felt like it before because I wasn’t that into him."

"Hmmph, I don’t believe you."

"Believe it or not, I have shared a bed with your brother-in-law many times. At least we don’t have the same hurdles; being together would be a natural progression."

"Oh please, men love novelty. You no longer fascinate brother-in-law. It’s me who’s new."

"You... I’ll tell you, you can compete fairly with me, but you’re not allowed to use your body to seduce your brother-in-law."

"Pfft, what era do you think this is? If both sides are consenting, what’s wrong with getting in bed? It doesn’t have to be a wedding night."

"No way. If I end up marrying your brother-in-law later and you’ve been with him, what’s that going to look like."

"Who cares? I wouldn’t mind. Besides, you’ve never let brother-in-law touch you; it just shows he isn’t that attracted to you."

"What do you mean by not enough? I’m just reserved. That night... your brother-in-law was all over me..." Even facing her sister, Xu Yingying was a bit embarrassed to describe Li Yifei’s behavior that night; it was just too blush-worthy.

"How was it?" Xu Shanshan’s interest piqued, with a smile that turned eager and worried.

Not noticing her sister’s expression change, Xu Yingying saw only her worried face, and biting her lip, said, "That time, your brother-in-law didn’t even have clothes on, and ended up all over me. Do you still need more proof?"

"Ah!" Xu Shanshan gasped and then couldn’t help but laugh.

Xu Yingying was mortified, wanting to stop her laughing, but Xu Shanshan only laughed harder, making Xu Yingying frustrated and angry. "What’s so funny?"

Xu Shanshan tried to suppress her laughter, "Really, sis? That just means I have more chances. If brother-in-law didn’t actually do anything with you then, it just shows you’re not attractive enough. You gotta know that men follow their lower halves; if he could hold back, it means he’s not interested."

Xu Yingying turned grim. She didn’t believe her sister. That night, Li Yifei was clearly very impulsive, and only held back with great effort--a sign of responsibility. But being misunderstood by her sister, she couldn’t help but feel doubtful. Was she really not alluring enough? Otherwise, why would Li Yifei and He Fangqing act so blatantly, and so loudly each time?

Seeing her sister quiet, Xu Shanshan chuckled, "You know, sis, maybe you weren’t really invested back then. If it were me, I’d be proactive, even if brother-in-law hesitated."

"Proactive... hmph, don’t do that. I’m telling you, compete fairly, or I’ll cut you off."

"Sigh, your mindset’s outdated. I don’t even have to fight you; you’ll get eliminated by brother-in-law on your own."

"Hmph, I don’t believe it. I can make Li Yifei like me without getting him in bed."

Xu Shanshan knew her sister was stubborn. Persuading her all at once was impossible. Only by letting her hit a wall a few times would she change. Now she was truly worried. If Xu Yingying kept hesitating, brother-in-law might become someone else’s husband once she realized.

"I can’t let that happen. I’ll need stronger measures, but can I take it to that level?" As she pondered, the phone rang, and Xu Yingying rushed to answer. It was their mother.

Xu Shanshan’s eyes lit up. Her sister feared their mother’s nagging and was very filial. Strong measures from their parents would be potent.

She blinked her eyes and thought of a brilliant plan.
