Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Too Shaless
Li Yifei slept in and didn’t get up until past six-thirty.
After washing up, Lin Qiong also got up, and Li Yifei greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, Officer Lin."
"Morning!" Lin Qiong replied with a smile that seed quite stiff.
Li Yifei thought Lin Qiong was uncomfortable staying at his place, so he didn’t mind it much and pointed to the clothes hanging in the washroom, saying, "You threw up ssily last night, so I washed your clothes. They’re spun out, but not fully dry. You’ll have to make do with them or go ho early to change into a new set."
Lin Qiong looked towards the bathroom, and this ti a genuine smile appeared on her face, "Thank you so much. I didn’t even know I threw up. It’s really such a bother for you."
Li Yifei shook his head and said, "Officer Lin, I told you yesterday that you can’t just drink casually. It’s a good thing you ran into . If it were soone else, then you..."
Lin Qiong said in a hurry, "Yes, yes, I was just feeling a little down at the ti. Lucky it was you I was drinking with."
Although both were talking about the sa thing, and it sounded similar on the surface, the true thoughts in Lin Qiong’s heart were miles apart from Li Yifei’s.
"Alright, hurry up and get ready. I don’t have a spare toothbrush here, so you’ll have to brush your teeth back at your place."
Lin Qiong nodded, entered the bathroom, closed the door, and looked around. The room was very simple: a toilet, a washing machine, and above the sink was a small shelf with two cups, each with a toothbrush in it, but there was only one towel.
Two cups for brushing teeth ant soone else also lived here, and Lin Qiong knew it must be that university student nad Feng Yiyi.
That made Lin Qiong puzzled again. If Li Yifei’s orientation was questionable, why would he let a girl stay here?
Thinking of Feng Yiyi, Lin Qiong suddenly understood that Feng Yiyi had always said Li Yifei was a good person, which ant that he hadn’t done anything to her. A girl would feel even more trust towards a man who treated her with respect, which is why Feng Yiyi thought so highly of him.
Lin Qiong, with a police officer’s intuition, quickly made this judgnt.
It wasn’t that Officer Lin was dense or her thoughts twisted; having been a drunken beauty brought back by Li Yifei without a scratch, she had her line of thinking solidly fixed in one direction. So now, whatever she thought of, she first regarded Li Yifei as gay and then searched for a suitable reason.
However, on the other hand, Lin Qiong felt that Li Yifei was actually quite nice. He had even washed her clothes, and the house was also clean, not at all slovenly like most n’s places.
"No way... is he actually a bottom!" Lin Qiong suddenly had such a thought, as it was more common for won to wash clothes and tidy up the house.
"My goodness, he looks quite strong, and yet he’s a bottom. You really can’t judge a book by its cover."
One must say, Officer Lin was now having evil thoughts, very evil indeed. The wicked ideas made her stomach feel uneasy again. After hastily washing her face, not daring to use Li Yifei’s towel, she quickly left his house.
"What was that about, with her strange look in the eyes?" Even if Li Yifei were as clever as Zhuge not Kongming, he would never guess what Lin Qiong was thinking.
After Lin Qiong left, Li Yifei started to prepare breakfast; but as soon as he began, there was a knock at the door. Going to open it, he saw ng Xiaofei and Luo ngxin standing at the door.
"What brings you here so early in the morning?" Li Yifei asked them, puzzled.
ng Xiaofei stuck out her cute little tongue and said, "Brother Li, we’ve co to scrounge for breakfast."
Li Yifei was instantly torn between laughter and tears, saying, "Well, co on in. You two really take the cake, treating my place like a cafeteria."
Li Yifei could understand ng Xiaofei coming over to freeload food and drinks; after all, they had been neighbors for so ti, and ng Xiaofei was a pretty casual girl, not so reserved. But Su ngxin was different; she was Huaxia’s number one beauty with innurable assets, and yet she also ca over to scrounge for breakfast, which was a bit odd.
Su ngxin walked into the living room with a smile, looking at Li Yifei, "Where were you last night? You didn’t say a word when you didn’t co back. I knocked on your door several tis, but in the end, I had to settle for instant noodles."
ng Xiaofei imdiately nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I knocked quite a few tis too."
Li Yifei looked helplessly at them both and said, "I had sothing to take care of last night and ate out."
Su ngxin narrowed her eyes and said, "Couldn’t you have called to let us know if you weren’t coming back? We would have been prepared."
"That... isn’t really necessary, is it? I have to report to you two whether I’m coming ho or not?"
Expecting Su ngxin to be embarrassed, to his surprise she very frankly said, "It’s needed of course. Otherwise, who would cook the groceries we buy?"
"So are you saying I don’t need to buy groceries anymore?"
Su ngxin nodded, "If you can guarantee that you’ll co back to cook for us every day, then there’s no need to buy groceries."
Li Yifei imdiately shook his head quite firmly, "Sorry, I can’t commit to that. I have my own private life and my circle of friends. It’s normal for
not to co ho for dinner."
Su ngxin imdiately said, "Of course, but you should at least give us a call in advance, right?"
Li Yifei couldn’t shake the feeling that it seed like they were all cohabitating. Although the three of them lived on the sa floor and shared an elevator, at the very least, they didn’t live in the sa apartnt, did they?
"Brother Li, you wouldn’t refuse us, would you?" ng Xiaofei fluttered her eyelashes, her big eyes brimming with a watery look, starting to act adorable.
Li Yifei couldn’t bear ng Xiaofei’s gaze and hurriedly raised his hand in surrender, saying, "Okay, okay, I agree."
Su ngxin and ng Xiaofei imdiately high-fived in celebration. Seeing Su ngxin shout and cheer without any regard for her image, Li Yifei was instantly covered with a look of dread. Was this still the top beauty of Huaxia, Su ngxin? It felt as though she was just an ordinary woman.
Two fried eggs per person, a glass of milk each, and slices of bread—that was their simple breakfast, and it was enough to leave Su ngxin and ng Xiaofei thoroughly satisfied.
"I have to get to work now, so you two help
clean up a bit." Li Yifei quickly finished eating, pushed his plate aside, and left. Since these two enjoyed a free al, it was only fair they put in so labor.
"Wait, I’ll go with you." Su ngxin quickly followed him.
"Ah! You two are bullying !" ng Xiaofei yelled from behind, but she obediently cleaned everything up. Now that she was quite broke, she could only make up for it with a bit of labor.
Once in the elevator, Li Yifei looked at Su ngxin, dressed in a standard professional suit, and asked, "Where are you off to?"
Su ngxin smiled slightly and said, "Dressed like this, can’t you tell what I’m going to do?"
Li Yifei sized up Su ngxin again and said, "You look like a typical white-collar worker in the city. Don’t tell
you’re planning to go to work?"
Su ngxin chuckled and said, "You’re exactly right, I am going to work."
"Oh."
Seeing that Li Yifei didn’t continue to ask, Su ngxin felt a bit disappointed, but still asked, "Don’t you want to ask where I work?"
"You definitely won’t be working in the sa place as ."
"That’s not necessarily true. Maybe soday I’ll be working in the sa company as you."
Li Yifei felt a stir in his heart and said with a smile, "Now you’re poaching President Xu and He Fangqing, you wouldn’t be thinking of poaching
for your company too, would you?"
"How about it? Are you interested?" Su ngxin did not deny it.
"That depends on whether your company’s offer is better than what I have now. If it is, I wouldn’t mind considering it. People go where there’s a higher position, and water flows to a lower place, right?"
Su ngxin narrowed her eyes and said, "Then I’ll take that as your agreent."
Li Yifei said in surprise, "You’re not serious, are you?"
"Do I look like I’m joking?"
Li Yifei looked at Su ngxin, shook his head, and said, "Miss Su, thank you for holding
in such high regard, but I really don’t want to go back to my old life. I’d rather be an insignificant figure, commuting to work, hanging out at bars, having a few drinks, and shooting the breeze with colleagues. I find that kind of life very comfortable."
Su ngxin quickly retorted, "Who said I want you to co work for
as a bodyguard?"
"Then what do you want
to do in your company? I don’t know how to do anything but drive. I’m hardly the talent you need, are you sure you have to insist on ?"
"It’s simple, I trust you. If you join my company, I’d be at ease with whatever you’re working on. Managing a company without a few trustworthy people is definitely not going to work."
Right then, the elevator doors opened, and the two had reached the ground floor, interrupting their conversation. They stepped out, and Su ngxin walked shoulder to shoulder with Li Yifei, asking, "So, do you accept the offer or not?"
"Let’s talk about it later; I’m feeling good right now."
"Okay then, but I think you’ll want to switch places soon."
Li Yifei didn’t say much more. He understood what Su ngxin ant by her words; that both Xu Yingying and He Fangqing were likely to leave, and once Huayang Company returned to the hands of those at the head office without Xu Yingying, the weather might change, making it uncertain whether the current good atmosphere would last.
With a casual glance, Li Yifei noticed people following both in front and behind them. They seed to walk without purpose, but through Li Yifei’s eyes, their differences from ordinary people were clear. These were obviously Su ngxin’s bodyguards.
As they left the complex, a taxi ca directly to them. Su ngxin got in, and the driver was soone Li Yifei had seen before—the one from the bodyguard room that day. This made Li Yifei chuckle. Su ngxin seed to want to live a normal life, but this semblance of normality was obviously lacking. But on second thought, for soone like her to live a truly ordinary lifestyle was much more difficult than for him.
