Chapter 347 - 351 Strategic Alliance
"Family..." Li Yifei let out a soft sigh.
Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "I say, brother-in-law, you’ve even made it official with my sister, got the certificate, and yet you still don’t feel like you’re family with her?"
Li Yifei gave a bitter smile and said, "Shanshan, I’m not lying to you. I really don’t have that feeling with your sister. I haven’t even had the realization that I’m married. I don’t feel like she’s my wife. Now that we’re suddenly family, I really can’t adapt."
Xu Shanshan turned her head, resting her chin on Li Yifei’s shoulder. Her breath, carrying a faint fragrance and warmth, blew on Li Yifei’s face as she said with a smile, "Husbands and wives get familiar through intimacy."
At this, Xu Shanshan had a strange smile on her face, but because she was so close to Li Yifei, he didn’t feel comfortable turning his head to face her, so he didn’t see that peculiar smile.
Li Yifei felt Xu Shanshan’s sweet breath on his face and couldn’t help but feel a bit intoxicated. Being with Xu Shanshan always gave him a sense of guilt, but this feeling of guilt was precisely what excited men the most, Li Yifei included. Yet he shook his head, trying to distance himself from Xu Shanshan’s face, and said, "It’s not that easy. Sigh, I always feel like I’ve been pushed into marriage without thinking it through, just muddling into it with your sister and forming a relationship."
"Brother-in-law, can’t you stop being so conflicted? Even if you’re twisted up inside, didn’t you still marry my sister? So why not open your heart and get along with her?"
"I know it’s for the best, but... I’m not emotionally ready. You know I still have my first love, and Yiyi, I don’t even know how to deal with them."
"What’s so hard about explaining? I can help you cut through the mess quickly. A little pain now will make you feel better later."
Li Yifei had thought about this, but as for Yiyi, he couldn’t just break it off. That gentle girl had given so much for him. Even if he couldn’t truly marry her, he should at least take care of her for life. And Ye Yunzhu, his first love, wasn’t someone who would give up easily. Even though Li Yifei had married, she wouldn’t let go so easily, and he couldn’t be cruel to her either. With all those sweet memories from high school and her deep affection for him now, what could Li Yifei do?
