Chapter 2804 - 2866: Sweet Dreams

Wu Shuwei couldn’t help but interject: "It’s not that serious, is it? You’re exaggerating a bit."

Li Yifei grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, shook his head and said: "There are too many things like this. You were born to be above others, and I climbed up from the marketplace, so our perspectives on problems are different. Comparatively, I feel it more profoundly. Of course, I also understand the thinking of those kinds of people. Calling it seeing the sky from the bottom of a well is even flattering; some people are genuinely bad, and some are genuinely stupid. Fortunately, I don’t have friends like that around me now, otherwise, my temper might directly knock them flat!"

Shouldering Li Yifei, Wu Shuwei said a bit defiantly: "Aren’t such things rare in state enterprises? These kinds of people actually transcend educational levels; they’re everywhere. They think the intrigues and scheming, both overt and covert, are a matter of pride and not shame..."

"Silly girl, that’s not the same thing. Like I just said, I’m talking about a different class of people. I have money because I earned it through hard work. Not only did I put in hard work, but I also started a company and support a lot of people. These people work for me. I pay taxes to the country, bring benefits and fame locally, and convenience to users. The remaining money, I pocket it, how I enjoy it is my business. Why do I have to give it to you? Oh, if I don’t give it, then I’m criticized? That just means they haven’t been socially disciplined. Dragging them here and giving them two slaps would make them behave. Calling them rascals is flattering. And those who force donations—donating doesn’t mean you have a kind heart, and not donating doesn’t mean you’re a bad person? Isn’t that ridiculous? I have money; if I want to donate, I will; if not, no one can force me, otherwise I’ll **** their mother!"

"Ugh, don’t have such a filthy mouth, really think you’re drunk or what?" Wu Shuwei bumped Li Yifei again, saying seemingly with disdain.

Li Yifei laughed and said: "Just using this as an opportunity to vent a little. Actually, it is what it is. Summer insects can’t discuss ice; you can’t reason with these types of people. Their views have long been set in stone; they’ve lived this way for many years. There are only three ways: give them money, kick them, or ignore them. So, there’s no need for you to be angry. You probably will never encounter such people in your life, and I hope you never have to, otherwise, your Three Views might get reshaped."

Wu Shuwei nodded thoughtfully and said: "I really agree with what you said. I’d rather not meet such people, and I’m willing to donate money, not out of sympathy or pity, but hoping that those facing difficulties can truly overcome temporary hardships with this money and have a new future!"

Li Yifei’s arm went over the sofa, resting directly on Wu Shuwei’s shoulder. Wu Shuwei stiffened instantly; although they had been closer before, now wasn’t a tense moment, and Li Yifei’s action felt strange to her. However, perhaps because the atmosphere was too harmonious tonight, she didn’t react much, her body stiffening but not pulling away. Li Yifei took the opportunity to lower his arm and embraced Wu Shuwei’s shoulder slightly harder.

"Just like this, no crossing the line, otherwise..." Wu Shuwei didn’t finish, but Li Yifei chuckled, knowing that even if he went a bit further, Wu Shuwei wouldn’t do anything. She indeed was inherently gentle, and once a man could open her heart, she would gladly accept him, even investing completely, without reservation. But the premise is opening, not prying, which would face strong counterattacks.

"I know, I know. Rest assured, I’ve drunk but I’m clear-headed, won’t go overboard. But Shuwei, don’t you find this quite nice? Just like this now." Li Yifei turned his head, saying he wouldn’t do anything, yet his breath landed on Wu Shuwei’s ear. Her skin was very fair, making her earlobes look very pink and delicate. With a gust of hot breath and the continued stirrings, Wu Shuwei immediately felt a current spreading from her ear, numbing half of her body. She hurriedly leaned to the other side saying, "Don’t do this, Yifei, we agreed."

It wasn’t a firm statement, but a soft one. We agreed, Li Yifei thought. What did we agree to? He chuckled, thinking he was just talking, and being close, a little breath was normal. But why did she react so much? Of course, he didn’t say this, worried Wu Shuwei would feel embarrassed, especially since her delicate face was already turning somewhat pink, making one want to give a peck.

Li Yifei licked his lips, resisting the impulse, holding back his emotions, then turning his head back, saying: "What were we talking about?"

Wu Shuwei breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Yifei had done something more just now, she might not have refused. People, sometimes they are like this, in front of someone they like, even if the other goes a bit overboard, they say no, but in their hearts, they’re looking forward to it. After all, it means...progressing further!

You think women don’t want to move further? So naive.

"Talking about Three Views. No, it’s the previous issue, but you’ve made your point clear and also mocked me for not having experienced things."

"No, no, I didn’t mean to mock you. I wouldn’t dare, nor would I want to. It’s just our worlds are indeed different. I’ve worked hard all these years, isn’t it just to be closer to your world?" Li Yifei smoothly said a sweet line, Wu Shuwei lightly responded, "You’ve surpassed me; in terms of wealth, I probably can’t even reach a fraction of yours!"

"Even that isn’t mine, at least not earned by me. Frankly, as a husband, I’ve been quite irresponsible, whether at home or outside, I meddle very little. The kids are taken care of by them; they manage the business. I bustle about, looking very busy, but not at home, and in reality, all I do is fuss around!"

"It’s not fussing around; what you do has exceeded our imagination, hence we understand you. Moreover, without you, the Li family couldn’t develop, even if they were united, it wouldn’t work. The tree is big, but without roots, it falls with a gust of wind." Wu Shuwei emphasized with a shake of her head.

"I like hearing that. Haha, so I’m the big tree?" Li Yifei laughed.

"Sort of, you’re the backbone. Without you, the Li family wouldn’t be here, maybe it’d have the surname Wang or Wu."

"Wait, why should it have these two surnames?" Li Yifei asked.

Wu Shuwei giggled and said: "Because there’s Old Wang next door and Old Wu."

"Alright, wait until I get my hands on you!" Li Yifei said, applying a slight force making Wu Shuwei lean closer, even half her body against him. She naturally wanted to struggle, but hearing Li Yifei slightly toughening his tone, said: "Don’t move, this is your punishment for speaking nonsense."

If you force it, I’ll be hurt." Wu Shuwei said in a low voice.

"Oh, sorry, how about now?" Li Yifei slightly eased his grip, and Wu Shuwei switched position, moving her arm and shoulder near Li Yifei back a bit, making the bodies more fitting.

Oh, she’s getting on track! Li Yifei raised an eyebrow, closing eyes comfortably.

"Seems like this is the first time we’ve chatted like this, not about messy things, just expressing opinions on some matters!" Li Yifei sighed.

Wu Shuwei lightly nodded and said: "Yeah, not in memory. But when I first got to know you. At that time, it was both a nightmare and a sweet dream for me."

"Sweet dream? I thought it was all a nightmare." Li Yifei said.

Wu Shuwei seriously shook her head and said: "Of course, there were sweet dreams. In fact, remembering now, those are all beautiful memories. The unpleasant ones, if they can be forgotten, were long forgotten. Life, right..."

"Many beautiful memories?" Li Yifei turned his head again, but this time he didn’t intentionally breathe warm air, so though Wu Shuwei felt strange, she didn’t react too much. She nodded and said: "Yes, many beautiful memories, one by one, piece by piece, I still remember them all!"

"That’s wonderful, which is what I hoped for!"

"What are you hoping, tell me."

Li Yifei looked up at the ceiling light and said: "Hope you aren’t affected by those things, can be happy, or happier. After all, for you, life and death matters you definitely can’t imagine happening in a lifetime. Of course, for me, those are routine for many years, so now I live quite simply, sit when I don’t have to stand, lie when I don’t have to sit, eat full not stay hungry."

"Pigs do that too, I know!" Wu Shuwei chuckled and said.

"Eh? Have you seen such lean pigs, full of muscles?"

"I remember southern black pigs are indeed lean and muscular." Wu Shuwei seriously replied.

"Looks like you’re going to be punished again." Li Yifei couldn’t help but say.

"No way, who wants to be punished? You bully me just because I can’t fight back!" Wu Shuwei teased.

Li Yifei didn’t punish her but shook his head saying: "Your words just now reassure me, definitely not an ordinary woman, does extraordinary things!"

"How am I not ordinary? Just an ordinary person longing for a peaceful life, family safety, longing for love... Anyway, just an ordinary person!" Wu Shuwei said.

"Previously not longing, but now starting to yearn for love, right?" Li Yifei softly said, blowing warm air by the ear. Wu Shuwei tilted her head a bit and leaned against Li Yifei’s side, didn’t refute, instead squinting her eyes, leaning directly on his shoulder, which due to muscles felt bit hard, yet she found it very comfortable., seemingly relaxing her body and mind all at once.
