Chapter 424: Chapter 431: This Joke Isn’t Funny
Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "Your joke is really hilarious. If you really fell for , I would walk away with you right now."
"Alright! I’ve taken a fancy to you, co away with ." Su ngxin looked at Li Yifei with a smile in her eyes.
Li Yifei laughed even happier and said, "ngxin, I bet no one would imagine you could joke like this with a man. If other n saw this, they would be green with envy."
Su ngxin revealed a mischievous grin and asked, "How do you know I’m joking?"
Li Yifei gave Su ngxin a sideways glance and replied, "I’m not stupid. What kind of person you are, what kind of person I am, why would you fall for ? Besides, I’m a married man now, so it’s even less likely."
"Those who have experienced marriage can have a deeper understanding of it. That’s what a real man is. It’s those young guys, who after getting married, are more likely to make people uneasy."
"Really? Are you saying you would consider soone divorced?" Li Yifei’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Su ngxin chuckled and teased, "Why not? Think about it. If you divorce Yingying, I’ll walk away with you."
"Alright, alright, that’s worth considering. Marrying you ans one less lifeti of struggle, having endless money to spend, and a status that commands respect from countless people. Just thinking about it feels great."
"Stop it, when did you beco so materialistic?"
"Am I just a little opportunist right now?"
The two of them chatted and laughed for a while. Su ngxin was half-serious, half-joking, while Li Yifei didn’t take what Su ngxin said seriously at all.
A knock on the door interrupted them. Su ngxin went over to open the door and greeted Xu Yingying with a smile, "Yingying, you couldn’t be worried that I’m stealing your husband, could you?"
Blushing, Xu Yingying hastily said, "Nothing of the sort. Any other person, I might be dubious, but how could you ever fall for this guy, ngxin?"
"It seems like Yifei is still a very excellent husband in Yingying’s eyes. You’d better keep an eye on him, don’t let him run off with soone else."
Feigning annoyance, Xu Yingying shot Li Yifei a glance and retorted, "With him being like this, whoever likes him can take him away, save
the trouble of getting irritated at ho."
Li Yifei imdiately protested, "Wife, I haven’t annoyed you though."
"I say you’ve annoyed , you have. Okay?"
"Alright, alright, I’ve annoyed you." Li Yifei quickly put on an appeasing face, and Xu Yingying burst into laughter, feeling more and more satisfied with her husband.
Today was the weekend. Aside from Xu Yingying, who still wanted to carve out so ti for work, everyone else seed free of plans. Su ngxin then said to Xu Yingying, "Yingying, I’d like you to lend
your husband today for a little bit. I need to go out and buy so things."
Xu Yingying agreed readily, "No problem at all. Husband, you accompany ngxin today."
After getting ready, Li Yifei drove Su ngxin and ng Xiaofei to the airport. ng Xiaofei had a flying mission today; otherwise, she would have gone shopping with Li Yifei and the others.
"When will I ever stop jetting back and forth? I’m really yearning to go shopping with you guys." ng Xiaofei sat in the car with a look of wistfulness.
Su ngxin replied softly with a laugh, "If you don’t want to fly, then don’t."
"But I can’t do anything else. If I don’t work, I’ll starve."
"You can always freeload your als at Yifei’s place; you definitely won’t starve."
ng Xiaofei’s eyes brightened, "Yeah, yeah, I definitely won’t starve." But then she imdiately shook her head, "Having a place to eat is fine, but Li Yifei can’t support
for my whole life. Ah, Brother Li, you should earn more money. If you had a million or two, then I’d let you support . How nice would that be?"
Li Yifei almost choked, "Since when did you entertain such thoughts?"
"Hehe, with n being so unreliable nowadays, even if I wanted to find a husband, it’s not that easy. Either the good n are already married or they are too old. It’s really hard to find a good catch."
Li Yifei said grumpily, "That doesn’t an she should let soone keep her, does it? If you really have that idea, hurry up and find soone to take care of you. I can’t be bothered with you anymore."
ng Xiaofei saw that Li Yifei seed a bit angry and imdiately said with a giggle, "Brother Li, don’t be mad, I wouldn’t be so casual. I just feel that Brother Li is very nice to , and it wouldn’t be so bad to be taken care of by you. If it were soone else, I wouldn’t do it."
Li Yifei found himself even more embarrassed by what ng Xiaofei said, while Su ngxin couldn’t help but laugh out loud, saying, "Xiaofei, if Yingying hears what you’re saying, you might not have a place to freeload als anymore."
ng Xiaofei was startled and said, "Thank goodness you reminded . It seems I can’t say things like that in the future. Brother Li, I don’t need you to take care of , and besides, you don’t have that much money. Even if you wanted to, you couldn’t afford it, hehe..."
Li Yifei was helpless with ng Xiaofei; the girl was carefree, and her words were without guile, speaking whatever ca to her mind. When they arrived at the airport, he glared at ng Xiaofei and said, "Hurry up and get out of the car."
ng Xiaofei chuckled, jumped out of the car, and walked towards the airport, dragging her suitcase. At the entrance, she turned back and waved at Li Yifei, her flight attendant uniform drawing the gazes of countless n passing by.
As Li Yifei started the car again, Su ngxin chuckled softly, saying, "You see? There really are a lot of people interested in you now."
Li Yifei laughed, "You took Xiaofei’s words seriously? She’s just a girl without any sches, only thinking about mooching als at my place."
"That’s not necessarily true. Oftentis, once a simple-minded girl sets her sights on soone, it becos very difficult to change her mind. Maybe ng Xiaofei really does want to stick with you for life."
"Oh, don’t scare . My life is chaotic enough as it is. If I take what you said seriously, I wouldn’t even dare to let her freeload at my place anymore."
Su ngxin’s lips curled into another smile, "Alright, let’s pretend I never said anything, or else if Xiaofei loses her place for free als, she’ll bla ."
Li Yifei had thought that Su ngxin wanted to discuss sothing important today, but it turned out she was just on a regular shopping trip and had bought a lot, none of which were big-na brands; many items were actually very cheap street stall goods.
"So these clothes are really cheap," Su ngxin remarked, still shopping enthusiastically and tirelessly.
Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile and said, "Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at for wearing these clothes out?"
"Laughed at for what? These clothes look good and the quality is decent too. In fact, those branded clothes are mostly selling the brand. When it cos to quality and craftsmanship, they’re not necessarily better than these."
Li Yifei laughed, "Besides, it depends on the person wearing the clothes. On you, even the most ordinary clothes would look a notch above. If you wore these to a party, you might even start a new trend."
"Giggle, that does have one advantage, for sure: no risk of wearing the sa outfit as soone else."
As they chatted and laughed, they continued their stroll. Li Yifei may have seed casual, but his eyes were constantly scanning the people around them. Su ngxin was no ordinary person; there was no telling when danger might strike, and he had to be as vigilant as he was when he was second-in-command of the Flying Hawk Squad.
Su ngxin, on the other hand, seed very relaxed, not worrying about it at all, even looping her arm through Li Yifei’s. Li Yifei didn’t think much of it; in fact, he felt it helped him protect Su ngxin better. After all, the closer she was to him, the easier it was for him to keep her safe.
"Ah!" A shout accompanied by a figure charging toward Li Yifei. Li Yifei almost instinctively kicked the person flying but ultimately stopped himself, as it turned out to be Chen Xingrui from the Human Resources Departnt.
"Manager Chen, what are you..." Chen Xingrui rushed up to them, staring wide-eyed, then rolled his eyes at Li Yifei, saying, "I get it now, why you wanted Su ngxin to be your secretary. You were just making the first move.
Li Yifei gave the plump young man a look and said, "Don’t talk nonsense here."
Su ngxin smiled kindly and said, "Chen Xingrui, what a coincidence to bump into you here."
Red-faced, Chen Xingrui glanced at Su ngxin then grumpily said, "Su ngxin, as your colleague, I feel I ought to remind you—our Manager Li already has a girlfriend. You can’t bow to evil powers."
Su ngxin laughed out loud, looking at Li Yifei playfully, "What can I do? He’s the manager, and I’m his secretary. What can I do?"
Chen Xingrui had only ant his remark as a joke, as he always spoke freely with Li Yifei, who was quite unassuming. But Su ngxin’s response made it sound as if she was actually affirming her relationship with Li Yifei. Startled, Chen Xingrui’s eyes widened as he said, "Really? Su ngxin, how can you succumb to his lechery? Just say the word, and all the male staff in our company will stand by your side, resolutely overthrowing Manager Li!"
With an even brighter smile, Su ngxin replied, "Thanks for that, but I think Manager Li is pretty nice. He takes good care of , and I actually feel happy being with him."
"Ah, ah..." Chen Xingrui covered his forehead with his hand, looking heavenward for a good ten seconds before turning back to Su ngxin with a look of tragedy, "You’re the goddess in the hearts of all the male employees in our company—goddesses are supposed to be pure. How can you let yourself be tainted? This really breaks my heart."
Glancing at Su ngxin, Li Yifei said, "Xingrui, don’t listen to ngxin’s nonsense. I’m just helping her shop for so stuff."
