Chapter 224 - 225: Communication
After hanging up on Xu Shanshan’s call, Li Yifei redialed Xu Yingying’s number. It only rang twice before the call went through.
"What’s the matter with you, not answering my calls?" Xu Yingying’s tone was urgent, laced with reproach.
Li Yifei was quite accustomed to Xu Yingying’s tone and didn’t get angry. He laughed and said, "I ran into some trouble when I went out and got detained at the police station, so I couldn’t answer your call."
"Detained at the police station? What happened to you?" Her words now carried a hint of concern.
Li Yifei said, "Today, after leaving your house, I went to pick up my girlfriend to go shopping. Then we got into a fight. A friend of mine tried to intervene for justice, and he ended up being detained by the police station. I went to help, and I got detained too."
"Then why didn’t you call me? I could have found someone to bail you out. I know a few leaders."
"Heh, no need for that. We were doing the right thing, not there to fight. It will clear up once they understand the situation."
"Well, that’s good." Xu Yingying paused then continued, slightly upset, "Can you not hang out with your girlfriend these two days? What if my parents see you by accident? What will we do then?"
"President Xu, although I’m helping you, I still have to be with my girlfriend. How should I explain it to her? Should I tell her that I’m pretending to be someone else’s boyfriend right now? Have you considered my girlfriend’s feelings?"
Xu Yingying was suddenly at a loss for words.
