Chapter 394: Chapter 401 Rightfully So
Xu Shanshan was unusually well-behaved tonight. She was proper before dinner, ate quietly during the al, and afterward, she went straight to her bedroom, shut the door, and even locked it from the inside.
Su ngxin left after dinner too. The clever woman knew when to do what, and staying here would only make Li Yifei uncomfortable.
Xu Yingying went over and knocked on her sister’s door, "Shanshan, why did you lock the door?"
From inside, Xu Shanshan exclaid, "I’m sleepy, I’m going to sleep."
"It’s so early, and you’re going to sleep?"
"Can’t I be sleepy just for today?"
"Open the door. You still need your massage."
"No massage, I’m going to sleep."
Xu Shanshan stubbornly refused to open the door, and Xu Yingying got a little angry, shouting, "I told you to co out, did you hear ? You refused to go to the massage parlor, refused the person we found for you, and now your brother-in-law is personally offering, and you still won’t co out. What exactly do you want? Should your foot get so bad that mom and dad worry about you before you’re happy?"
Inside, Xu Shanshan suddenly went silent, but Xu Yingying, still annoyed, shouted, "Are you coming out or not? If you don’t, I won’t care about you anymore. Do whatever you like."
The door finally opened, Xu Shanshan pouted, looking down like a child who had done sothing wrong, twisting her shirt hem, "See, I’m out now."
Xu Yingying huffed and sternly said, "The water’s ready for you, go soak your feet."
Xu Shanshan muttered sothing under her breath, clearly reluctantly heading to soak her feet.
Only then did Xu Yingying return to the living room, still sowhat annoyed, she said to Li Yifei, "This girl is always so worriso."
Li Yifei quickly consoled, "It’s okay. Shanshan’s mood is probably bad knowing her foot’s like this. Criticizing her more would only make it worse."
Xu Yingying sighed and turned to Li Yifei apologetically, "Husband, I’ll be troubling you again."
"It’s no trouble at all, not a big deal anyway." Li Yifei said casually.
"Husband!" Xu Yingying leaned her head on Li Yifei’s shoulder, gently saying, "You cook at ho every day, pick us up for work, and handle a lot of the house chores. You’re really hardworking."
This was Xu Yingying’s first ti sincerely expressing herself, which made Li Yifei feel a warm sense of happiness. He embraced Xu Yingying’s shoulder and said, "I’m your husband, doing such things is normal. Besides, you work so hard at the company and have to work overti at ho, if I also had you do chores, wouldn’t you be even more tired?"
"But you also work. You have a job every day too, which makes
feel guilty. Oh, husband, here’s my bankbook, I’m giving it all to you." Xu Yingying said and handed a bankbook to Li Yifei.
Li Yifei took it, opened it, and said, "Wife, you’re really well off, over two million."
Xu Yingying quickly said, "I also have so stocks and bonds, I’ll give you the account passwords later, review them for
when you’re free."
Li Yifei readily agreed. Xu Yingying entrusted her finances to him, which made Li Yifei realize that Xu Yingying was genuinely treating him as family. As her husband, there was no need to decline, that would be hypocrisy, not manly. Since he married Xu Yingying, he should accept everything about her, including her money.
If it were soone else, they might call Li Yifei unambitious or spineless, but Li Yifei wasn’t short on money. If he wanted, making tens of millions would be easy for him, so he found this enjoyable, being a housekeeper was another kind of fun.
Xu Yingying really feared Li Yifei might feel awkward, but surprisingly, Li Yifei accepted with ease, filling her heart with a sweet warmth.
Around then, Xu Shanshan hesitantly erged from the bathroom, Xu Yingying quickly sat up straight; she still wasn’t used to being affectionate with Li Yifei in front of others, even her own twin sister.
"Co over, what are you standing there for?" Xu Yingying saw Xu Shanshan hesitate by the coffee table, reluctant to approach, and called out to her.
Xu Shanshan pouted, "Sis, maybe not, I’ll feel embarrassed."
Xu Yingying glared and said, "What’s there to be embarrassed about? He’s your brother-in-law, not a stranger, and it’s just a foot massage, not anything else, why are you so shy?"
Xu Shanshan reluctantly ambled over, and Xu Yingying hurriedly stood up, pressing her down onto the couch, "Alright, just stay put and let your brother-in-law massage it. Yifei, take care of Shanshan’s foot."
Li Yifei felt a bead of sweat; his wife was treating him really well now, but he and Xu Shanshan sched together to deceive her, feeling a bit guilty, but knowing Xu Yingying’s own sister was involved gave him so peace of mind.
Clearing his throat, Li Yifei said, "Shanshan, don’t worry, your brother-in-law knows his stuff, all that intense training before left no lasting damage. If I massage you for a while, I guarantee there won’t be any issues."
Xu Shanshan glanced at Li Yifei, "Brother-in-law, will it hurt?"
"At first, it will hurt a bit, but once you’re used to it, it’ll be fine. Just bear with it, and it’ll pass."
"Then I don’t want the massage," Xu Shanshan said and prepared to stand up.
"Are you afraid of a little pain?" Xu Yingying imdiately pressed Xu Shanshan back onto the couch and turned to Li Yifei, saying, "Husband, go ahead, let’s see if she refuses."
Li Yifei found himself both amused and exasperated, having no choice but to sit down by Xu Shanshan’s feet, though hesitant to start. Massaging his sister-in-law’s feet in front of his wife felt awkward.
Xu Yingying urged again, "Hurry up, husband, it’s for Shanshan’s foot, for her health."
Only then did Li Yifei extend his hand to hold Xu Shanshan’s foot. Her leg imdiately tensed, despite having played pranks several tis with Li Yifei, this ti, her brother-in-law holding her foot under her sister’s persuasion felt indescribably exciting, thrilling, and slightly nerve-racking.
Xu Yingying chuckled, "See, it’s not a big deal. Why put up such resistance? Where does it hurt?"
Li Yifei awkwardly said from behind, "I haven’t even applied pressure yet."
Xu Yingying laughed awkwardly, "Well, it doesn’t hurt much, then."
"It’s not you who’s hurting," Xu Shanshan pouted.
"Alright, alright, your brother-in-law never even gave
a foot massage, but he’s giving you one. You should be grateful."
"Shanshan, bear with it, I’m starting now." Li Yifei warned, and began to apply pressure with his fingers.
"Ow! Brother-in-law, you’re pressing so hard, it hurts!" Xu Shanshan cried. This ti, she genuinely felt pain in her foot.
Xu Yingying held Xu Shanshan and said, "Why are you yelling? You’re grown up now, can’t stand a bit of pain? What else can you do?"
Xu Shanshan squird and shouted, "It’s not you feeling the pain. Ouch, brother-in-law, be gentler! If you’re not afraid of pain, you try it."
Xu Yingying snorted, "Of course, I’ll let your brother-in-law massage . You’re the one with the problem, just endure it."
Xu Shanshan gritted her teeth, "You two are bad guys, just you wait, I’ll get back at you."
The reason Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan gave was mainly to trick Xu Yingying, but it wasn’t entirely groundless. Massaging tired feet indeed offered benefits, as the foot was the body’s second heart. Soaking and massaging them before bed was one of the secrets to health.
Xu Shanshan’s feet were indeed under considerable strain. Li Yifei, who hadn’t thought so much before, genuinely massaged Xu Shanshan this ti, applying quite a bit of pressure.
Xu Shanshan cried out for a while before adapting. Xu Yingying stood up, "Alright, stay put. I have to get back to work. Husband, thank you for your trouble. If this girl won’t let you massage, don’t be polite with her."
Li Yifei nodded with a smile, while Xu Shanshan secretly raised her fist at Xu Yingying.
Once Xu Yingying entered the room, Xu Shanshan excitedly winked at Li Yifei, who felt both amused and helpless. This sister-in-law was full of ideas, yet he couldn’t fathom her intentions entirely.
"Wicked brother-in-law, why did you apply so much pressure just now?" Xu Shanshan whispered in a low voice to Li Yifei.
Li Yifei laughed, "Massaging you needs pressure, otherwise what’s the point of a massage?"
"Oh, now I get it. Brother-in-law is clever, or it wouldn’t seem like one."
Li Yifei internally rolled his eyes; he indeed gave a genuine massage. He didn’t bother explaining to Xu Shanshan, though.
"Brother-in-law, this position is uncomfortable. I want to watch TV. Let’s move a bit, okay?" Xu Shanshan’s voice rose significantly with this request.
Li Yifei agreed, turning on the TV for Xu Shanshan. She stretched out on the daybed, raised her legs, waiting for Li Yifei to return. Once he sat down, she imdiately rested both feet on his lap, grinning, "Brother-in-law, this is much better."
Li Yifei shook his head, helpless against this mischievous sister-in-law, especially with leverage she held over him.
anwhile, Xu Shanshan was overly pleased with herself, her small feet restlessly moving in Li Yifei’s hands, sotis wiggling, sotis clamping his fingers with her toes.
Given the circumstances, Li Yifei stopped being polite, forgoing the massage and simply toying with Xu Shanshan’s small feet, and quite enjoying it.
