Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 165 I Will Not Admit Defeat

It was after eight o’clock when the two of them finally got out of bed. Su Yiyi was wearing a pair of denim shorts and a tight-fitting tank top. Although her figure was not what one would call explosive or seductive, that kind of slender and delicate beauty was fully exhibited.

Humming a little tune, Su Yiyi made breakfast, and Li Yifei had agreed to let her, which made her extremely happy; she did everything with a smile.

After Li Yifei finished washing up, he also came to the kitchen. Su Yiyi turned around and gave Li Yifei a sweet smile, saying, "Brother Li, breakfast will be ready soon."

Li Yifei did not leave but came over from behind and embraced Su Yiyi’s waist. Su Yiyi’s body immediately softened, and she leaned against Li Yifei’s chest and spoke softly, "Brother Li, what are you doing?"

Li Yifei gently kissed Su Yiyi on the cheek and said, "I just want to hold you, is that okay?"

"Yes!" Su Yiyi’s happiness nearly made her faint, "I like when Brother Li holds me."

"As much as you like it, you’re going to burn the eggs."

With a gasp, Su Yiyi hurriedly served the fried eggs and pouted at Li Yifei, complaining, "Brother Li, it’s all your fault."

This was the first time Su Yiyi spoke to Li Yifei with such a coquettish tone, which made Li Yifei burst into laughter and say, "Alright, alright, it’s my fault. Then I’ll eat all the burnt ones."

The breakfast was very sweet for the two of them. Su Yiyi would take a bite and then look up at Li Yifei, who would often respond with a brilliant smile, making Su Yiyi feel even sweeter inside.

Having never dated before, Su Yiyi had heard her roommates talk about the sweetness of romance, and now that she was truly in love with Li Yifei, she finally understood how intoxicating and heady love could be. Even a glance from Li Yifei or the slightest physical contact made her incredibly happy.

However, their sweet world for two was quickly interrupted by the ringtone of Li Yifei’s phone. Xu Yingying wanted Li Yifei to come to the office, and Li Yifei had to agree.

"Yiyi, I have to go work overtime at the office today, and I won’t be able to accompany you."

"Brother Li, you go ahead, I’ve brought books. I’ll just stay home and read during the day."

Li Yifei handed a key to Su Yiyi and said, "This key is for you, so you won’t have to worry about not being able to get back in if you go out. Oh, and here’s some money, so you can buy whatever you want."

Quickly, Su Yiyi said, "There’s no need, I still have money." frёewebηovel.cѳm

Li Yifei forcefully stuffed the money into Su Yiyi’s hands and said, "Silly girl, you don’t have a job; where would you get any money from? Now that you are Brother Li’s girlfriend, spending Brother Li’s money is only right. Although I don’t have much, it should be enough for the two of us."

This time Su Yiyi didn’t insist. She quickly ran to get Li Yifei’s shoes and bag for him. After Li Yifei had left, she clutched the money he had given her tightly, her face showing a blissful smile.

Su Yiyi was not a girl who coveted money. If she were, with her looks, it would have been too easy to secure a rich man to support her. But receiving money from Li Yifei made her feel as if she were managing his financial affairs, analogous to how married couples often manage their finances.

Therefore, it made her feel as if Li Yifei truly regarded her as his girlfriend, and her heart couldn’t help but feel sweet.

While Su Yiyi was happy, Ye Yunzhu felt lost since leaving Li Yifei. Meeting with the Deputy County Head, she couldn’t focus at all. The County Head, seeing her emotional state, asked with concern, and Ye Yunzhu lied, saying she was just tired recently. The Deputy County Head comforted her and told her to go home and rest.

Returning home, Ye Yunzhu locked herself in her room.

Over the years, although she hadn’t been in contact with Li Yifei, she couldn’t forget him as he was her first love. Seeing Li Yifei again had thrilled her. She wanted to resume their past relationship, to overcome any difficulties to be with him, even if Li Yifei was just an ordinary employee, even if her family would pose many obstacles, and the outside world might pity her for choosing an ordinary employee.

She was ready for everything, she had made up her mind with determination, and she had considered that Li Yifei might not have been alone all these years, but she was prepared to cast all the past aside and be with him unhesitatingly.

However, the fact that Li Yifei pursued another woman after their meeting was something Ye Yunzhu couldn’t tolerate.

Li Yifei had truly disappointed her. Now, as a Township Chief with a bright future ahead, the difficulties she would have to face to be with him were immense, yet Li Yifei did not seem to cherish it at all, and she couldn’t bear this blow.

Sitting in her room like a statue for a full hour, her mind was filled with memories of high school days with Li Yifei. Even if she didn’t want to think about it, those memories kept surfacing in her mind. The relationship with Li Yifei was deeply etched in her heart, impossible to forget.

Ye Yunzhu hoped dearly that Li Yifei would call to explain it was all a misunderstanding, that the girl had made up the story, and she would believe him, even if it meant deceiving herself.

But Li Yifei never called, leading Ye Yunzhu to utter disappointment. His silence was an admission of his involvement with the other girl and a clear indicator that their relationship had come to an end.

Two lines of tears streamed down her cheeks as Ye Yunzhu wiped them away, reminding herself not to cry, but the tears flowed unstoppably. She kept wiping, wiping fiercely, but the more she wiped, the more they flowed, soaking her clothes until they were saturated, leaving her skin icy cold.

Over the years, Ye Yunzhu had never cried, no matter how tough her work became. She had always thought of herself as strong, but now she realized that although she was strong in every other aspect, when it came to matters of the heart, she was undoubtedly weak.

"Li Yifei, you bastard, you son of a bitch, have you forgotten what you once said to me? You said no matter how many difficulties we face, you would marry me, and now you don’t care at all, you bastard..."

Throwing herself onto the bed, Ye Yunzhu cursed Li Yifei while sobbing miserably.

After a good cry, Ye Yunzhu released the sorrow in her heart, yet she couldn’t help but feel unwilling. She was a woman who never accepted defeat, and she couldn’t understand why Li Yifei didn’t like her anymore.

If looks were considered, Ye Yunzhu was always very confident. In the entire political scene of Mile City, there was no second woman as young and beautiful as she. If you talk about ability, she was only twenty-six and already a Township Chief and soon to be promoted to Deputy County Head. She was fully confident she could become County Head before thirty. Which other woman could compare?

As for her family background, it was even more impressive, easily ranking in the top ten in Mile City.

Yet all of that made her lose to a young girl, an absolutely unacceptable outcome for her.

If she had to lose, Ye Yunzhu wanted at least to understand why Li Yifei no longer liked her. After taking a couple of deep breaths, Ye Yunzhu dialed a phone number...

.........

Li Yifei arrived at the company, where, although there weren’t many people, everyone was exceptionally busy, and each person was in high spirits—an undoubtedly positive atmosphere for the company.

He headed straight for Xu Yingying’s office. Xu Yingying was focused on something at her desk, and the sight of Li Yifei entering caused her to frown and say discontentedly, "How come you don’t knock when you come in?"

"Now, President Xu, when you come to my office, you also don’t knock," Li Yifei said with a grin as he took a seat opposite Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying was at a loss for words. Although she was a president, she didn’t normally enter her subordinates’ offices without knocking, but for some reason, when it was Li Yifei’s office, she would forget to knock and just push the door open and enter.

Not wanting to dwell on this topic with Li Yifei, Xu Yingying said, "Everybody in the company is so busy; how come you’re still so relaxed? If I hadn’t called you, would you ever come to the company?"

"There’s nothing much for me in Human Resources today. I’m going to the job market tomorrow."

"Can’t you help others out? Especially Michelle. She’s been running around for the past two days getting supplies, practically exhausting herself."

The main task of logistics now was to purchase necessary office supplies for the company. Although most of the items could be moved by hired help, running around and arranging things was exhausting for Michelle.

"Alright then, I’ll go give her a hand." Li Yifei normally wouldn’t bother with others, but Michelle had helped him before, and they had a good relationship, so it wouldn’t be right for him not to help.

"Then hurry up and go."

Li Yifei agreed and stood up to leave when Xu Yingying suddenly looked at him intently and asked, "You seem to be in a good mood today, did something nice happen?"

Li Yifei chuckled and replied, "Can you tell?"

"How can I not? That smirk on your face and your good temper."

"Heh heh... then let me tell you, I’ve got a girlfriend," Li Yifei boasted proudly.

"Got a girlfriend?" Xu Yingying’s brows suddenly furrowed and she asked, "Who?"

"You wouldn’t know her," Li Yifei stood up and said, "Hey, President Xu, you’re not planning to interfere with my private life, are you?"

"As if I care enough to bother with you," Xu Yingying said dismissively, waving her hand for Li Yifei to leave.

But as soon as Li Yifei left, Xu Yingying became a bit dazed. The fact that Li Yifei suddenly had a girlfriend made her feel uncomfortable. Why?

Shaking her head vigorously, Xu Yingying thought it was amusing how she felt. After all, Li Yifei had only pretended to be her boyfriend for a while, it was not real, so what was there for her to be uneasy about?
