Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Not Caring
Li Yifei didn’t have the habit of bringing a stranger ho. It was too dangerous, a habit cultivated by Li Yifei over many years. The most important thing was, he was only after a one-night stand, rely a form of release to satisfy his physical needs. He certainly didn’t want to attract a clingy woman because of such needs. Won, that kind of creature, might be utterly arrogant and ignore you before you get her body, but once you do, she might cling to you and not let go. Li Yifei couldn’t afford to deal with such won right now.
He arrived at a nearby hotel, wrapping his arm around the waist of the half-drunk woman as they entered the room. The woman’s figure was truly remarkable, and at the age of twenty-six or seven, she was at her pri, neither unripe like a young girl nor slackened like a woman over thirty. To bed a woman in this age range was always Li Yifei’s favorite, especially when the woman was so beautiful, she could be considered a top-notch beauty.
Once the room door was shut, the woman suddenly tensed up, pushed Li Yifei away, and staggered a few steps back, hugging her chest while looking at Li Yifei sowhat frantically.
Li Yifei really hadn’t expected this woman to have regrets after getting to this point, which made him shake his head and sigh, saying, "If you regret it now, you can leave. I won’t force you."
eting Li Yifei’s gaze, the woman burped from the alcohol and asked, "Are you serious?"
Li Yifei shrugged his shoulders, smiling helplessly, and said, "Of course, I am. I always like it when it’s mutually agreeable. If you’re unwilling, forcing you takes away the pleasure." With that, he pulled open the bathroom door and added, "I’ll take a shower first to give you ti to think. If you haven’t left by the ti I’m done, I’ll take it as your consent."
After filling the tub with water, Li Yifei stripped naked and soaked in the bathtub. The forty-two-degree water was just right, relaxing his entire body and quickly bringing sweat to the surface of his skin. Alcohol from inside his body was also slowly seeping out with the sweat, leaving a faint scent of alcohol in the bathroom.
During this ti, Li Yifei hadn’t heard the sound of the door opening, which apparently ant the woman hadn’t left yet. It seed she had decided to stay, or perhaps, she was still conflicted and might rush out the mont he opened the bathroom door after his shower.
This was Li Yifei’s judgnt of the woman because she seed incredibly indecisive.
But this ti, Li Yifei’s judgnt was wrong. He was comfortably soaking in the bath when the bathroom door suddenly opened. The woman walked straight to the tub, her face so red it seed blood would drip from it, yet she still looked directly at Li Yifei and said, "I’ll shower with you."
Li Yifei flashed a radiant smile and replied, "I’d be delighted."
The next morning, Li Yifei woke up early, another one of his long-standing habits. Even after leaving the military, he didn’t give up this routine. He indeed wanted to live a peaceful life, but he never thought of giving up the skills he had learned, nor did he want to let his body deteriorate due to tranquility.
The woman in his arms was still sound asleep, suffering from the aftermath of last night’s frenzy—an incredible fatigue. Li Yifei could recover quickly, but this woman was obviously exhausted.
Considering he still had the day off, Li Yifei wasn’t in a hurry to get up. There was nothing to do anyway, so he might as well stay in bed with this beautiful woman, pulling the blanket over them. He casually turned off the air conditioning, having found the warmth it provided all night long pleasant, but not liking the hot air it blew out.
He fell back asleep for a while, and it was nearly eight o’clock when the woman finally woke up. Although she was still nestled in Li Yifei’s arms, he could distinctly feel the confusion in her heart, along with guilt and pain.
Li Yifei said nothing, did nothing. Why the woman was conflicted, why she was in pain, those weren’t his problems to consider. They were each fulfilling a need, without any involvent of responsibility. Li Yifei didn’t wish to take that responsibility upon himself.
Suddenly, he felt a coolness and a slight wetness on his chest—the woman was crying. But Li Yifei couldn’t offer her anything, so he continued to pretend to be asleep.
After a while, the woman slowly let go of Li Yifei, then silently got up, dressed, and finally looked back at Li Yifei one last ti before swiftly leaving the room.
Only after the sound of the door closing did Li Yifei open his eyes, stretching his limbs, his entire body feeling utterly refreshed. A one-night stand with such a beauty was indeed a very enjoyable thing.
After getting up and washing up, Li Yifei dressed and prepared to leave. But he unintentionally found an ID card on the floor—it was the woman’s from just before.
"He Fangqing," Li Yifei muttered the woman’s na, then pocketed the ID, intending to give it to the hotel reception for the woman to retrieve later. It was not worth keeping; he wasn’t interested in any further entanglents, even if the woman was beautiful.
Exiting the elevator, Li Yifei was about to approach the reception desk when his phone rang. It was Xu Yingying calling. He quickly answered.
"Li Yifei, Shanshan just called , wanting to talk to you. I said you’d gone out but would be back soon. Where are you now? I’ll co pick you up, so Shanshan can hear you when she calls again."
"There’s no need to pick
up, I’ll just call her back myself."
"No, no, Shanshan is clearly testing us. If we’re not together, it’ll be easy for her to spot the problem. These days my mom is pressuring
to set her up with soone. If she finds out we’re faking, she’ll definitely push
back to my mom. Quick, give
your address, I’ll co and pick you up right away."
Li Yifei broke out in a cold sweat. The role of the fake boyfriend was still not over. He reluctantly gave the hotel address, and Xu Yingying imdiately said with excitent, "I’ll be there in less than a minute, co out now."
What a coincidence. Li Yifei had to settle his bill and walk out of the hotel, only to see Xu Yingying’s Buick pulling up as he reached the entrance.
After getting into the car, Xu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and handed her phone to Li Yifei, saying, "Call Shanshan back."
Li Yifei nodded and dialed Xu Shanshan’s number, smiling, "Shanshan, what’s up?"
"Eh, you’re really with my sister?" Xu Shanshan sounded genuinely surprised.
"Hehe, of course, we’re together. I just went out to buy breakfast. Your sister wanted sothing light, so I especially went to the supermarket to get so bamboo shoots for her, to make bamboo shoot porridge."
"Ah, I want so too."
"Then when you co over, your brother-in-law will cook it for you."
"Mm, then I won’t keep you from making porridge for my sister, bye-bye."
"Bye-bye."
After hanging up, Li Yifei made a victory gesture and handed the phone back to Xu Yingying.
Xu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief but imdiately sniffed and frowned, saying, "You seem rather rry."
Li Yifei imdiately knew why Xu Yingying thought so; although the woman from yesterday didn’t wear makeup, she had sprayed a bit of perfu, leaving a light fragrance on him. Plus, since he ca out from a hotel, Xu Yingying must’ve guessed he had spent the night there with a woman.
However, Li Yifei didn’t mind, and he chuckled, "Boss, is my mission complete then?"
Xu Yingying nodded, took out roughly two thousand yuan from her bag, and said, "This is for you. Keep your phone on recently; I might need to reach you any ti."
Li Yifei hurriedly said, "No need, it’s not a big deal, just a phone call."
"I don’t want to owe you any favors. Let’s do it by the book. Don’t worry, you can still co to work at my company tomorrow."
Li Yifei understood Xu Yingying’s aning; she didn’t want any personal entanglents with him, their relationship was purely professional. He happily accepted the money and then got out of the car.
Xu Yingying’s Buick started up imdiately and rged into the traffic, disappearing from sight.
Li Yifei shook his head, knowing that Xu Yingying had a bad impression of him, mainly because of the perfu on him and the fact he stayed in a hotel. Clearly, she thought he wasn’t a good man.
But Li Yifei didn’t care. He had no intention of leaving a good impression on Xu Yingying, and after all, his private life was his own. Even Xu Yingying, as the boss, couldn’t ddle in her subordinate’s private life. He hailed a taxi and returned ho. However, upon taking off his coat, he suddenly rembered that the woman’s ID was still on him. By then it was late, and he was too lazy to return it; he would wait until he had ti.
Lying in his own bed at ho, Li Yifei couldn’t help but reminisce about the previous night’s madness. It had been a long ti since he had such a wild night. In every way, that woman was exceptional, with stunning looks and an incredible figure, and when it ca to passion, she had quite the taste. If it weren’t for the fear of trouble, Li Yifei wouldn’t mind having such an encounter with her again.
Shaking his head, Li Yifei banished these thoughts. He didn’t want to tie his emotions down too soon, especially since there was another person he needed to figure out—until then, he had no intention of just finding a woman to marry.
