Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 181 Xu Yingying’s Counterattack

"You... what are you doing?" Xu Yingying panicked all of a sudden, stammering, "This is... the office." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Li Yifei’s gaze toward Xu Yingying became very tender, like the tenderness of water, and his voice carried a seductive magnetism as he said deeply, "Yingying, I really hadn’t thought you would have such thoughts. Do you know? I’ve actually liked you for a long time. Pretending to be your boyfriend these past days has been the happiest time of my life, but it ended too quickly, almost suddenly. These days I haven’t been able to eat or sleep well; whenever I have a moment to myself, I think of you, of the days we spent together."

Xu Yingying’s eyes widened as she looked at Li Yifei; her eyes filled with fear, her complexion turned pale, and she nearly turned to run.

But then, Li Yifei’s hands suddenly pressed down on Xu Yingying’s shoulders, making it impossible for her to run, and he continued, "I really hadn’t thought you’d feel the same about me; it’s truly unimaginable. In my heart, you are a goddess, so pure and so proud. How could a nobody like me ever match you? Now I know, my thinking was wrong; the tale of the poor boy and the goddess can happen in reality too. Now, at last, I have the courage to tell you... Yingying..."

"Ah!" Xu Yingying suddenly screamed, standing up abruptly; she even flipped over the high-backed boss chair. She flung her arms out, tearing away Li Yifei’s grip, and like a frightened rabbit, she hid by the window.

"Yingying, what’s wrong with you, didn’t you say you wanted me to be your husband? You weren’t lying to me, were you?" Li Yifei immediately showed a panicked expression, but in a flash, it turned into profound sorrow. He shook his head and said, "Indeed, the underdog’s counterattack is nothing but a story from a novel; I’m sorry, I’m leaving."

Having said that, Li Yifei walked toward the door as if he had lost his soul.

Just as he opened the door, he bumped head-on into He Fangqing. He Fangqing, seeing Li Yifei’s heartbroken appearance, was startled and asked anxiously, "What’s wrong with you?"

Li Yifei sighed, shook his head, and replied, "Nothing, I’m fine." Then he walked past He Fangqing and descended the stairs.

He Fangqing wanted to follow him but stopped herself. Instead, she entered Xu Yingying’s office and, in passing, closed the door. However, seeing Xu Yingying standing by the window, holding her chest with both hands, still looking shaken, He Fangqing was even more puzzled. She hurriedly walked over to Xu Yingying and asked, "Yingying, what happened between you two?"

It was only when Xu Yingying heard He Fangqing’s voice that she finally came back to her senses. She shivered and, looking around the office, asked, "Did that guy leave?"

"Yes, he left. But what on earth happened?" He Fangqing could not understand at all. Seeing Li Yifei’s state, he seemed to have suffered a great blow, and Xu Yingying appeared to be greatly frightened. Moreover, just now they were clearly alone together, which made the whole situation all the more suspicious.

Xu Yingying patted her chest, where there was not the slightest bit of a president’s dignity left, and, frustrated, she exclaimed, "That guy just now... he actually declared his love for me; it scared the life out of me."

"What?" He Fangqing’s eyes widened in disbelief, thinking she must have heard wrong.

"Really... the way he said it was so disgusting, I got goosebumps all over." Xu Yingying couldn’t help shuddering again.

He Fangqing shook her head, staring at Xu Yingying, and said, "Yingying, where is your usual cleverness? If he were a business rival, would you be so unable to distinguish between truth and lies?"

"You’re saying he was faking it?" Xu Yingying frowned.

He Fangqing couldn’t help chuckling and said, "Think about it for yourself."

After thinking it over carefully and considering Li Yifei’s usual behavior, Xu Yingying finally understood that Li Yifei had tricked her. Angrily, she slammed her hand down on the windowsill and complained, "That jerk, he really scared me just now."

He Fangqing let out a light laugh and responded, "But I think it’s quite interesting. You scared him, and he turned around and scared you. It’s kind of tit for tat, and there’s even a bit of a bickering lovers’ vibe to it."

"Bickering lovers with him? If it weren’t for Shanshan, I couldn’t be bothered with him at all," Xu Yingying, still dwelling on her recent fright caused by Li Yifei, glared with puffed-up anger.

"Haven’t you heard the saying, ’It takes a hundred years to share a boat, a thousand to share a pillow’? You and someone don’t know how many nights you have shared together; who knows if that’s a relationship developed over thousands of years? If that’s not bickering lovers, then what is it?"

Xu Yingying immediately felt embarrassed and quickly differentiated, "Although I slept in the same room with him, and on the same bed, we have nothing to do with each other, okay? Besides, you and that guy not only shared a bed but also... did that. You two are the real match."

He Fangqing, having talked about this matter with Xu Yingying, now felt quite at ease, chuckled, and said, "Haha, I think this guy must have been a playboy for thousands of years, and he must have had no shortage of wives. Otherwise, how could he have achieved true love with so many women?"

"Exactly, this guy must have been no good in the past!" Xu Yingying wholeheartedly agreed.

"So, what are you planning to do now?" He Fangqing squinted at Xu Yingying.

Wrapping her arms around herself, Xu Yingying’s mind raced, and soon she revealed a smug smile, proudly saying, "This guy just confessed to me, didn’t he? Well, I’ll just agree to him then."

"Pfft." He Fangqing had just taken a sip of water and sprayed it out in response, hurriedly grabbing a tissue to wipe her mouth, laughing, "I knew you would do this. Now I really want to see the look on Li Yifei’s face after you agree."

Hearing He Fangqing say this, Xu Yingying also felt excited, imagining Li Yifei’s shocked and silly expression while embracing her shoulders.

"Hmph, you scoundrel, dare to scare me? I’ll play along with your words. Let’s see how you’re going to end this," Xu Yingying thought to herself as she picked up the phone and dialed Li Yifei.

Li Yifei answered quickly, his voice still carrying a sorrowful tone, "President Xu, you don’t need to comfort me. I’m a man who keeps work and personal life separate. Since you’ve turned me down, I’ll still be your colleague in the future and will continue to work diligently."

Xu Yingying didn’t immediately address the matter. If she said it over the phone, she wouldn’t be able to see Li Yifei’s expression, which wouldn’t be as satisfying. Instead, she spoke indifferently, "Come up for a moment, Director He and I have some matters to discuss with you."

Li Yifei felt something amiss in Xu Yingying’s tone, but with He Fangqing present, perhaps it really was about work. Plus, there were indeed many things happening in the company, so he had no choice but to come to Xu Yingying’s office once again.

Seeing He Fangqing sitting on the sofa, elegantly sipping her cup of water, with a teasing look in her eyes, Li Yifei had a bad feeling and wanted to leave at once. But before he could move, Xu Yingying had already walked behind him and closed the door.

"President Xu, what’s the matter? I’m swamped with work and have to get back down," Li Yifei made an excuse, hoping to slip away quickly.

But Xu Yingying walked straight toward him, revealing a sweet smile. Before she even spoke, Li Yifei felt a chill running down his spine. Xu Yingying was usually not one to smile, and when she did, it was just a slight smile. This kind of sweet smile seemed to be reserved only for show in front of her parents during the New Year.

Taking another step toward Li Yifei, Xu Yingying’s voice became seductive, "Yifei, I really scared you just now. It was so sudden..."

Li Yifei now felt not only a chill over his whole body but also goosebumps all over. He quickly said, "President Xu, can we talk normally? I feel really unsettled with you talking like this."

Seeing Li Yifei’s somewhat pale face, Xu Yingying felt very amused inside, but her facial expression turned even softer. She reached out and gently placed her hand on Li Yifei’s shoulder, saying, "However, I can give you my answer now..."

"You mean you disagree?" Li Yifei stepped back, but Xu Yingying followed him forward. As he retreated, Xu Yingying advanced, driving him back against the office desk until he had no place to retreat to.

"You’re wrong. I agree. Didn’t I tell you that I want to be your girlfriend? Since you’ve got this intention, what reason do I have not to agree?"

After Xu Yingying finished speaking, she looked at Li Yifei with great interest, waiting for his pained expression, anticipating his panicked state.

However, Li Yifei suddenly shouted in delight, grabbing Xu Yingying’s shoulders with both hands, his face beaming with joy, "Yingying, that’s wonderful! I am so happy."

Xu Yingying was stunned, gaping at Li Yifei, unable to comprehend. Wasn’t he supposed to be scared? How come he suddenly seemed so overjoyed, and why did it look like genuine happiness shining through his eyes?

He Fangqing was just as flabbergasted, taken aback by Li Yifei’s reaction. As an outsider, she quickly realized that Li Yifei must have seen through Xu Yingying’s tactic to suppress him, and that’s why he used the same method to outwit her.

Now, she was truly curious to see how Xu Yingying would respond, how the two of them would continue their play.
