Chapter 399 - 406: Stealing Leisure from a Busy Schedule
Li Yifei got home before ten o’clock, and it was Xu Shanshan who opened the door, who immediately exclaimed with a surprised face, "Brother-in-law, weren’t you not coming home tonight?"
Li Yifei chuckled, "Staying out late is one thing, not coming home at night is hardly the mark of a good man."
Xu Shanshan let out a surprised "Ah" and exclaimed, "Ah, you’re not going to give me a foot massage today, are you?"
Li Yifei had actually forgotten all about that, and Xu Shanshan’s exaggerated cry both made him laugh and feel helpless. She was clearly reminding him to massage her feet with that scared expression, obviously putting on a show for Xu Yingying to see.
By that time, Xu Yingying had already come out, and there was also a look of surprise on her face upon Li Yifei’s return. She had created this opportunity for Li Yifei and He Fangqing, and she hadn’t intended for Li Yifei to come back tonight. However, she was too shy to show that in front of her sister and instead gave Xu Shanshan a stern look, saying, "What’s all the shouting for? Your brother-in-law is doing this for your own good. You act like it’s some kind of torture every single day."
Xu Shanshan pouted, feeling wronged as she said, "I know, I know. I’m going to soak my feet right now, isn’t that enough?"
Li Yifei watched as Xu Shanshan scurried off to the bathroom, not looking the least bit aggrieved, clearly eager for the massage. He couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Xu Yingying sat down with Li Yifei on the living room sofa, her face beaming with joy that she couldn’t hide, and asked, "How come you came back?"
"Isn’t this my home? As a husband, how can I not come back at night to be with my wife?" Li Yifei said as he gently wrapped his arm around Xu Yingying’s shoulders.
Xu Yingying leaned her head on Li Yifei’s shoulder. She had felt a bit sour about the idea of Li Yifei doing ’that’ sort of thing with Sister Fangqing, but now the feeling had completely dissipated. She whispered, "You really are a good husband."
