Chapter 351 - 358: The Night
It was past eleven when Li Yifei parked his car beneath Xu Yingying’s apartment building, which he supposed could also be called his home. After all, his wife’s belongings were his, and her home was his too.
After chatting and sharing a passionate moment with He Fangqing, she didn’t let Li Yifei stay but insisted he go home instead.
Li Yifei didn’t say much in response; perhaps it was because they were married that he felt it was excessive to stay out, even with Xu Yingying’s knowledge of it.
Yet, standing outside the building, Li Yifei smoked two cigarettes in quick succession before slowly making his way upstairs. After all, this home still lacked a certain feeling of home for him.
He had the keys to Xu Yingying’s place and didn’t want to disturb her or Xu Shanshan by knocking at such a late hour. However, upon entering, he realized neither of them was asleep. Xu Shanshan was watching TV in the living room, and the door to Xu Yingying’s bedroom was open with the light on.
Xu Shanshan stood up and walked over to Li Yifei, speaking sternly, "Brother-in-law, is this okay with you, coming home so late? You’ve just started married life, and you’re already not returning at night?"
Li Yifei responded with an awkward smile, "I had some things to deal with tonight, so I came back late."
"Be mindful next time. You’re not allowed to come back this late again," Xu Shanshan playfully winked at Li Yifei and then pursed her lips toward the bedroom, "My sister has been waiting for you this whole time."
Li Yifei, unsure of what to say, smiled again and said, "I’m going to take a shower."
"Go ahead." Li Yifei headed straight for the bathroom, passing by Xu Yingying’s bedroom door and glanced inside instinctively, meeting Xu Yingying’s eyes just as she turned her head away, a blush rising to her cheeks.
