Chapter 392 - 399 Almost There
Li Yifei carried Su Mengxin to the building’s entrance, where a man immediately emerged from a hidden spot and handed Li Yifei a set of keys.
Li Yifei knew this was Su Mengxin’s bodyguard. Given that Su Mengxin lived here, the bodyguards likely occupied the units above and below as well, which was truly quite extravagant.
After taking the keys, the bodyguard promptly vanished back into the darkness, and Li Yifei carried Su Mengxin straight into the elevator.
Xu Yingying’s building also had three apartments per floor, with her unit in the middle and Su Mengxin’s to the left. Li Yifei used the keys to open the apartment door and turned on the lights to find all-new furniture inside, surely all recently purchased. The efficiency was astonishing; indeed, money makes things happen.
Seeing Su Mengxin sleeping soundly, Li Yifei didn’t call out to her and simply carried her into the bedroom, where he carefully placed her onto the bed.
As Su Mengxin lay on the bed, she didn’t release her arms, so Li Yifei gently pried her hands away.
Just as he stood up and was about to leave, he hesitated, went back to remove Su Mengxin’s shoes but didn’t proceed to take off her clothes and change her into pajamas, as that would’ve been inappropriate.
The air conditioning in Su Mengxin’s apartment was off, making the room a bit warm, so Li Yifei turned it on and set it to a comfortable temperature. Then he pulled up the covers over Su Mengxin, retreated slowly, and turned off the lights as he left.
The sound of the anti-theft door closing woke Su Mengxin, who opened her eyes with a dreamy charm, turned over softly, closed her eyes again, and hugged another pillow—like she was embracing Li Yifei—her face breaking into a sweet smile.
Li Yifei returned home to find Xu Yingying still awake, who immediately furrowed her brows and said, "Why are you back so late?"
