Chapter 301 - 309: Preventing Sunburn
"It doesn’t matter anymore; who was it that bit me in the first place?" Li Yifei vanished from Xu Yingying’s sight before she could react.
"Hey, Li Yifei, don’t leave me here all alone!"
"Jerk! If you have the guts, don’t come back. If you dare to return, just wait and see how I’ll deal with you!"
After shouting a few times and seeing no sign of Li Yifei, Xu Yingying was both angry and annoyed. She had no idea where Li Yifei had run off to, likely out of earshot of her words, and could only resentfully grab the medicine kit to tend to her foot by herself.
"Oh, it’s already been taken care of." Xu Yingying lifted her injured right foot onto her left knee, only to discover that the sole of her foot had already been treated. Although it wasn’t bandaged, there was some iodine dabbed on the wound. She knew that her injury wasn’t serious, just a sharp object that had punctured and scraped her foot, so this treatment was sufficient.
"This jerk just treats it and then dumps me here. So irresponsible! Any woman who marries you is really down on her luck." Xu Yingying muttered, but as she looked up, she saw Li Yifei and was startled, scolding with her hand on her chest, "Don’t you know it’s terrifying to scare someone like that? Can you make some noise next time you show up?"
Li Yifei was puffing on a cigarette; he had just gone back to get it. He smiled at Xu Yingying and said, "You do make some sense with what you’re saying. Looks like you definitely won’t be the one out of luck."
Xu Yingying felt uncomfortable with Li Yifei’s expectant gaze. Why did he have to be so fond of her? To assist him with that case, she nearly lost herself to him, yet here he was, looking at her with a teasing tone and anticipation.
But Xu Yingying was not about to make Li Yifei’s wish come true. Her lips curved into a faint smile as she said lightly, "I’m sorry, having met you was being unlucky for one lifetime. Knowing you was two. Pretending you’re my boyfriend makes it three. You working in my company is four. Leaving the job and joining the same company as you makes it five. Pretending to be your wife that day is six. Now I’ve got six lifetimes of bad luck—I’m not afraid of a couple more."
Li Yifei’s eyes widened as he looked at Xu Yingying, then he gave her a thumbs-up and said, "The boss really talks like a boss. What you said is so on point, it’s like tongue twisters."
