Chapter 883: 924 Chapter: Further Progress

Shanshan laughed smugly, "Hehe, yes, I’m just anxious for you. My sister has always kept you at bay; when will this ever end? I wanted to provoke her a bit—first, to see her reaction, and second, to make her unable to bear it so that she would accept you sooner."

Li Yifei shrugged his shoulders and said, "From what I can see, your sister hasn’t regained her memory. Although her reaction was quite strong just now, she was holding it back and finally ran into the bathroom."

"It seems so, but no worries. Rest assured, if I provoke her a few more times and she can’t stand it, she’ll obediently let you do as you please."

This time, however, Li Yifei shook his head and said, "Shanshan, I don’t feel good about this. Since your sister hasn’t regained her memory, using such methods feels like coercion to me. It’s just like before; this isn’t how true feelings should come about. I would rather that your sister truly accept me from her heart, not through these methods."

Shanshan glared at Li Yifei and remarked, "You blockhead, fine, have it your way."

At that moment, Li Yifei heard noises from the bathroom and quickly told Shanshan, "I need to go out first; your sister is coming out."

Shanshan shook her head this time. She wasn’t angry that Li Yifei disagreed with her; rather, she was quite happy inside. If Li Yifei gradually developed a relationship with her sister, it meant the three of them would continue living together in this small home, allowing her more opportunities to be with Li Yifei. Sharing Li Yifei with only Yingying was obviously much better than sharing him with a bunch of other women, even if Yingying was vigilant.

By then, Li Yifei and Yingying had returned to the bed. Although Li Yifei knew what was wrong with Yingying, he could only pretend not to know. He said, "Wife, are you feeling better? Do you want me to rub your belly?"

Yingying lay on her side, her back towards Li Yifei. Although she sounded fairly normal, she still seemed a bit frantic. "No need, I’m fine. Don’t worry, let’s go to sleep now."

The bedside lamp was still on, and Li Yifei could see Yunzhu’s neck, still blushing. Clearly, Shanshan had been up to some mischief, causing Yunzhu a fair amount of discomfort through mental resonance.

This Yingying, radiating a strong allure, filled Li Yifei with intense desire. As men are visual creatures, seeing a woman emotionally stirred only made him more impulsive.

"So... Can we still hug?" asked Li Yifei tentatively.

"Don’t... No more hugging, I’m tired," said Yingying as she shifted towards the edge of the bed, her tone somewhat frantic.

Seeing Yingying so flustered, Li Yifei truly felt sorry for her because of the mental resonance, having struggled with it for a while. He gently patted Yingying’s shoulder, whispering, "If you’re tired, just sleep well. Call me if you feel uncomfortable."

"Mm-hmm..." Yingying agreed, then fell silent again.

Though slightly disappointed that Yingying had not truly regained her memory or allowed him to hold her all night, Li Yifei was still quite happy. After all, it was a major breakthrough. Yingying’s willingness to let him hold her showed greater acceptance of him as her husband. With perseverance, Yingying would soon truly consider him as her husband.

He wasn’t sure how long he’d slept when Li Yifei woke up. To his surprise, Yingying was snuggled up against him, an arm draped over his chest and a leg over his.

Though they had such physical contact when they slept at Yingying’s place, this time felt better. Yingying hugged him more naturally, much like when they used to sleep together.

This warmth overwhelmed Li Yifei. He gently moved his arm under Yingying’s neck. Yingying shifted her head slightly to accommodate him. Once he adjusted his arm, she snuggled up closer to him in his embrace, even muttering something soft and sweet in her sleep.

Seeing Yingying like this, Li Yifei felt really content and almost reluctant to fall back asleep. He knew, however, that though a gaze might be intangible, if he kept staring at someone, they would eventually feel it. He decided not to keep watching, to avoid waking Yingying.

So after a while, Li Yifei closed his eyes and soon fell asleep again.

When he woke up next, the day was already bright. He hadn’t slept so deeply and well in a long time, with Yingying still in his embrace, his arm still under her neck. Yingying’s hair had grown longer, now brushing softly against his face, which was incredibly cozy, especially as he looked at her sweet sleeping face. Despite his arm tingling, he couldn’t bear to move it.

"Ah." Yingying then opened her eyes and softly said, "It’s morning."

Li Yifei gave her a gentle smile, meeting her gaze, and said, "Yes, did you sleep well last night?"

"It was alright," Yingying said, her face breaking into a sweet smile.

This left Li Yifei momentarily spellbound. Yingying wasn’t shy or frantic but looked blissfully happy.

But her look was fleeting, and she soon rolled her eyes. "Aren’t you satisfied yet? Can’t you let go?"

Li Yifei quickly released her, smiling, "It seems it’s actually you holding me."

Yingying promptly pushed him away and sat up, tidying her hair. "Turns out your embrace is quite nice. I really slept well. Maybe being your wife isn’t so bad."

Li Yifei eagerly sat up and asked, "Wife, do you really think so?"

"What are you getting excited about? I just meant that in this cold weather, having someone to sleep with is a bit warmer. Don’t get any weird ideas." Then she got out of bed and walked out, closing the door behind her.

Li Yifei also got out of bed, and after Xu Yingying had washed up, he cleaned himself up before humming a tune and heading to make breakfast.

At this time, Xu Shanshan got up early as well, not as sleepy as she used to be. Given her busy daily workload, she couldn’t be as carefree as before. She slipped into the kitchen and said to Li Yifei with a grin, "You seem happy, did you accomplish a great feat last night?"

Li Yifei glanced back to check that Xu Yingying was not around, then whispered, "Whether I did or didn’t, don’t you already know?"

"So why are you still so happy?"

"Your sister... she slept in my arms all night. She wasn’t as resistant this morning."

"Well, congrats then, you are nearly there to achieving your ultimate goal."

"But your sister is about to go on a business trip again."

Xu Shanshan said despondently, "The most frustrating thing is, nobody can persuade her."

"What are you two whispering about?" Xu Yingying came out from the bedroom and upon seeing them talking softly in the kitchen, immediately asked.

Xu Shanshan turned to Xu Yingying and rolled her eyes, "I’m talking to my brother-in-law. What are you, a woman, running east and west for all the time? You should be staying at home taking care of your husband. At this rate, someone might steal him away, and you’ll have nowhere to cry."

Xu Yingying raised an eyebrow and replied, "Well, if someone has the nerve, they can go ahead and steal him, I definitely won’t mind."

"Tch, fool, brainless," Xu Yingying muttered, then pushed Xu Yingying, who was blocking the kitchen door, and said irritably, "Move aside, I won’t waste words on a silly woman like you."

Xu Yingying was about to retaliate when Li Yifei quickly intervened, "Honey, don’t be angry, Shanshan means well."

"This girl, she’s getting more and more disrespectful, all because you spoil her too much."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "Yes, yes, it’s all my fault. Let’s get ready, dinner will be ready soon."

"While I’m not home these days, you keep an eye on her. Without someone to watch over her, who knows what she might do."

"Don’t worry, honey, I’ll keep her in check."

After a simple breakfast, Xu Yingying went to check on Ye Yunzhu in the morning, then headed to the office. She had to catch aflight in the afternoon to research other markets.

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan went to the factory and, after bustling around for a while, Li Yifei suddenly looked at Xu Shanshan with a mischievous smile. Xu Shanshan smiled back and said, "Brother-in-law, that smile of yours looks really wicked, like you’re up to no good."

Li Yifei chuckled softly, moved closer to Xu Shanshan, and whispered in her ear, "Shanshan, I just thought of something."

"What is it?" Xu Shanshan squinted at Li Yifei, her smile becoming even more enchanting.

"Last night... how did you manage it?"

Xu Shanshan’s face turned red, she pursed her lips and said, "None of your business."

"I’m really curious, you know. Women have many methods and tools for the front, but you... it was the back, and you all by yourself... I’ve truly never seen that before."

"Want to know?" Xu Shanshan lifted her chin, although it was an awkward topic, facing Li Yifei, the man she loved, she was always very generous.

"Of course I want to know." Li Yifei nodded eagerly with a hint of excitement.

"This..." Xu Shanshan teased, just as Li Yifei was eagerly waiting for her to reveal, someone came to get some work done at his place, forcing him to put the conversation on hold.

After finally dismissing the Deputy Factory Director, Li Yifei, who was already itching with curiosity, moved closer to Xu Shanshan and said, "Shanshan, come on, tell me."

"This..." Xu Shanshan slyly smiled and said, "I won’t tell you."

"Really won’t tell?" Li Yifei moved his hands to Xu Shanshan’s ribs.

"I won’t tell, stop... don’t tickle me... Ah... haha... I won’t say..."

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan only played around for a short time, as they stopped due to footsteps outside. Xu Shanshan truly kept her secret, which made Li Yifei all the more curious. Although Xu Shanshan didn’t want to reveal it, he didn’t want to force her. Besides, finding out for himself later could also be quite intriguing.
