Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 159 Xu Shanshan’s Trick

Ye Yunzhu, with a very unsightly expression, walked directly toward Li Yifei. Li Xinyue also felt the unfriendly gaze from Ye Yunzhu, and her heart skipped a beat. Could this be Li Yifei’s girlfriend? If so, she might have caused big trouble, and her face turned pale in an instant.

"Young Master Li, is she..." Li Xinyue stammered, not knowing what to say.

"It’s fine, don’t mention my identity," Li Yifei said lightly, and walked towards Ye Yunzhu. He said, "Yunzhu, what a coincidence."

Ye Yunzhu stopped in front of Li Yifei, and with a stern face said, "Yes, indeed a coincidence. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known you have such charm now, even the host kissed you."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "We’re good friends; we’ve known each other for a long time. Back then, Xinyue wasn’t even a host, so we are a bit closer than ordinary people. You wouldn’t think there’s something between us, would you?"

Li Xinyue quickly smiled at Ye Yunzhu and said, "Sorry, I’m used to joking with Brother Li. You must be Brother Li’s girlfriend, nice to meet you."

Facing Li Xinyue’s gaze, Ye Yunzhu sensed some falsehood in her eyes but no hostility. As a leader, her insight was sharp. She had already read quite a lot from Li Xinyue’s expression.

This Li Xinyue was indeed very close to Li Yifei, but not as a couple; otherwise, she would have hostility. This time, she extended her hand to shake hands with Li Xinyue, saying, "I’m also glad to meet you. After all these years apart from Yifei, I didn’t know many things about him, like having a friend like you."

Li Xinyue, being a famous host, surely had no problem with adaptability. She chuckled softly and said, "Yes, I was always wondering why Brother Li wouldn’t get a girlfriend all these years. Turns out, he was waiting for a beauty like Yunzhu. It was worth the wait."

These words were pleasant to hear, making Ye Yunzhu’s expression soften. She glanced at Li Yifei and said, "At least he has some conscience."

"Hehe, then I won’t disturb you two. Let’s get together sometime when we’re free," Li Xinyue playfully winked at Li Yifei and then walked into the TV station office building, swaying her hips as she stepped in her high heels.

Ye Yunzhu pinched Li Yifei’s arm and said in a bad tone, "You jerk, seems like your luck with women hasn’t been bad these past years."

Li Yifei smiled lightly and said, "You won’t hold onto things from these past years, will you?"

"Ah, I was right. You’ve been dishonest these years. I’m busy today, but you’ll tell me everything later, or I won’t let you off."

"Okay, do you have time at noon? Let’s have lunch together," Li Yifei invited.

"Noon... well, around twelve-thirty, you wait for me."

It wasn’t until Ye Yunzhu entered the TV station building that Li Yifei drove off in his Porsche. He didn’t really know why, but he just didn’t want Ye Yunzhu to see him showing off. It seemed he didn’t want these things to affect their relationship, or maybe he was afraid he had changed too much and wouldn’t be able to find the happiness they once had together.

After leaving the TV station, Li Yifei went to the job market to get a booth. There was a job fair on Sunday, and they urgently needed staff, so they had to tackle it on two fronts.

Back at the company before ten-thirty, Li Yifei had just sat down and smoked a cigarette when the door was pushed open. Xu Yingying came in and directly closed it, walking straight toward him.

"President Xu, is there something you need?" Sensing Xu Yingying’s poor mood, Li Yifei was baffled.

Xu Yingying slammed the table, shouting, "Li Yifei, you asshole, what’s been with you these past few days?"

Li Yifei was a bit puzzled and said, "What’s wrong? I’m working diligently, aren’t I?"

"Working diligently? Then what are you doing now?"

"I just went to the TV station and the job market and just got back, okay?" Li Yifei was rarely working so seriously, yet Xu Yingying burst in and raged, which made him quite displeased.

"Really? You weren’t out picking up girls?" Xu Yingying’s eyes scanned Li Yifei’s face.

"Picking up girls?" Li Yifei looked back at Xu Yingying, somewhat amused and annoyed, and said, "Shanshan, why are you messing around here?"

"Huh? How did you recognize me?"

With these words, it was indeed Xu Shanshan. Xu Shanshan was somewhat downcast, wondering how Li Yifei identified her.

"Hehe, isn’t it simple? When you get angry, you’re just like your sister, but those words about picking up girls wouldn’t come from her."

"Oh oh, I see. I guess I need to change it so you can’t recognize me in the future."

Li Yifei smiled and invited Xu Shanshan to sit on the sofa, saying, "You’re still going to pretend to be your sister to scare me in the future?"

"Of course, I quite enjoy it."

"Oh dear, now I don’t need to pretend to be your brother-in-law, why are you still tricking me?"

Xu Shanshan gloomily leaned back on the sofa and said, "Honestly, I still want you to be my brother-in-law. Since you’re not staying at my sister’s place these days, I feel bored. I really regret exposing you two. If I hadn’t, you’d have to keep pretending to be my brother-in-law, and I could have you accompany me every day, which I can’t now."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "I should really thank you; otherwise, I wouldn’t be free. But even if we can’t be in-laws, we can still be friends."

"I like that, brother-in-law. How about we have lunch together?"

"Lunch won’t work, I’ve got plans."

"An appointment, with a guy or a girl?" Xu Shanshan immediately stared wide-eyed.

"A girl, my girlfriend."

"Your girlfriend?" Xu Shanshan exclaimed, her mouth rattling off, "Impossible. You were just staying at my sister’s house two days ago. If you had a girlfriend, how could she possibly agree?"

Li Yifei smiled and said, "She’s my high school classmate. We met at a recent reunion and rekindled our old feelings."

"Pfft! Classmates meeting classmates, that’s never good. Brother-in-law, you’ve been apart from that female classmate for so long. What feelings could there still be? Look how long you’ve been living with my sister; you’ve already gotten used to cohabiting. My sister is your best choice."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Living with your sister was not really cohabitation in a true sense. I was earning money, working; everything focused on your sister’s ideas. True cohabitation requires mutual adaptation."

Xu Shanshan tilted her head and said, "That does make sense, but to have someone like my sister adapt to others is quite difficult; she has quite a temper."

Li Yifei chuckled, his mind involuntarily recalling Ye Yunzhu. Ye Yunzhu and Xu Yingying were both strong-willed women. When they were together in the past, it was youthful lust combined with mutual affection, pure as could be. But now, if he could still match with Ye Yunzhu, he honestly had no clue.

With Ye Yunzhu, Li Yifei wasn’t treating her like other women. He was thinking if they could spend their lives together, considering many things for compatibility, beyond just seeking happiness and love. Even deeply in love, many couples split up due to incompatibility after marriage.

"Brother-in-law, is your girlfriend also like my sister with a bad temper?" Xu Shanshan nudged Li Yifei with her elbow, a mischievous smile on her face.

"Her temper’s okay, but, like your sister, she’s a strong woman. I’m pretty easygoing — that’s really an issue."

Xu Shanshan’s eyes lit up, and she giggled, "You’re doomed. You two won’t last."

"If we don’t last, why are you so happy? If we can’t make it, then it’s the same with your sister." Li Yifei rolled his eyes at Xu Shanshan in exasperation.

Xu Shanshan laughed slyly, "I’m just happy no matter what you do about it!"

Li Yifei laughed, tapping Xu Shanshan’s head, "You little rascal enjoying someone’s misfortune."

Xu Shanshan laughed even more delightedly, not seeing anything wrong with her actions. Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Li Yifei called out, "Come in," as Michelle walked in.

Michelle came in, seeing Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan sitting on the sofa, but in her eyes, Xu Shanshan was clearly Xu Yingying, the boss, and she was startled, giving a nervous smile, saying, "President Xu, Manager Li, I’ll come back later."

Before Li Yifei could speak, Xu Shanshan had already put on a stern face and said, "No need; just say what you have."

Michelle felt hostility in Xu Shanshan’s gaze; she became more flustered, nervously stammering, "President Xu, don’t misunderstand. Manager Li and I were just discussing work matters. We’re... we’re normal."

Li Yifei tapped Xu Shanshan’s head, "Michelle, no need to be nervous."

Michelle’s eyes widened, her mouth agape, taking a long time to close. Li Yifei was indeed mighty, even tapping President Xu’s head, and President Xu just giggled instead of getting mad. To her, Xu Yingying was a queen of sorts; even in love, she couldn’t be like this, especially in the company — Li Yifei should pay attention to Xu Yingying’s status as the boss.

Seeing Michelle’s reaction, Li Yifei was at a loss and snapped at Xu Shanshan, "See how your antics scare her? If your sister knew, she’d definitely scold you."

Xu Shanshan giggled, "I was just joking; she’s too timid."

Michelle’s mind almost broke — Xu Yingying let Li Yifei call the shots, not just without anger but also playful, without any usual authority. Indeed, a woman in love changes greatly, and Li Yifei was amazing for making Xu Yingying act like this.

At this moment, Michelle’s admiration for Li Yifei was as endless as the surging Yangtze River.
