Chapter 405: There’s Such a Girl


    “`


    As soon as Xu Chaomu’s taxi left, Li Beiting drove his Maserati into the viplex of Jinxiu Tianxia.


    Mi Fei was still looking back, asking Li Beiting a few questions from time to time.


    “Beiting, that girl just now wasn’t Shen’s biological sister, was she?”


    “Hmm, adopted.”


    “I’ve heard people mention her before, but there hasn’t been much news about Shen’s sister. I guess many people don’t even know Shen has a sister.”


    “Shen Chi has protected her very well.”


    “I can tell. How old is she? Is she married?”


    “She’s the same age as you, not married yet.”


    Mi Fei asked questions, and Li Beiting answered each one.


    Soon, the car entered the Li Familypound, and Li Beiting got out of the car to open the door for her.<div>


    “Beiting, are your uncle and aunt at home? Look at meing here out of nowhere, without even bringing a gift.” Mi Fei said apologetically.


    “It’s okay, my parents don’t care about that,” Li Beiting said indifferently.


    Mi Fei smiled at him, then took his arm, and they walked shoulder to shoulder toward the Li Family vi.


    Although Mi Fei wore white high heels, she was still much shorter than Li Beiting. She leaned on him as they walked.


    Having been here several times, she was still very nervous.


    Unexpectedly, both of Li Beiting’s parents were home, sitting under a sun umbre, one reading a newspaper and the other making silk flowers.


    “Uncle, Aunt!” Mi Fei called out happily.


    “Oh, Feifei is here,” Li Beiting’s mother put aside her work first.


    “Yes, Aunt, I haven’t seen you for so long; I’ve missed you. The silk flowers you made are so beautiful. Are these lilies? They’re gorgeous.”


    Mi Fei picked up a lily from the table and kept praising it.


    “Feifei, you always sweet-talk like this. Aunt missed you too. Come,e, sit next to me,” Li Beiting’s mother said, pulling Mi Fei’s hand to make her sit down, and instructed the servant to make her some flower tea.


    Li Beiting’s father also put down his reading sses. “Feifei, your aunt was just mentioning you, and here you are!”


    “I knew it, I sneezed several times this morning; it must have been Aunt thinking about me,” Mi Feiughed.


    “Feifei, has Beiting been treating you well recently?” Li Beiting’s father asked.


    “Quite well, actually. He went out of his way to pick me up this morning.”


    “If he doesn’t treat you well, just tell me, and I’ll scold him for you,” Li Beiting’s father said.


    Li Beiting said, “Dad, you’ve been scolding me since I was young. I’ve finally escaped your clutches in adulthood, and you’re still thinking about scolding me.”


    “If you don’t treat Feifei well, then Feifei you just hit him yourself,” Li Beiting’s motherughed.


    “No need, Brother Beiting treats me very well. He said he would take me shopping this afternoon.”<div>


    “That’s just perfect. After lunch, you two can go shopping, and I’ll personally cook a few dishes!” Li Beiting’s father was quite happy.


    “Uncle, you’re too kind. But I often hear Brother Beiting praising you. He says the dishes you cook are delicious, as good as a hotel chef’s,” Mi Feiughed.


    Li Beiting’s father was very pleased. “I just throw something together; this kid sure talks big.”


    Li Beiting stood aside and didn’t say much. Right when the servant brought the tea, he sat down to drink.<div>


    Mi Fei was clever and sensible, making his parents very happy.


    Everyone sat under the sun umbre,ughing and talking, enjoying a harmonious time together.


    Li Beiting held a cup of tea, his gaze resting quietly on the distance.


    The distance revealed a mountain range within the vi area, lush with summer vegetation, birds flying to and fro, giving the entire range a verdant, vibrant look.


    “Feifei, when are your parents free? I’d like to invite them over,” Li Beiting’s father asked Mi Fei.


    Mi Feiughed. “Uncle, you’re too kind. No matter how busy they are, they’ll make time with your invitation.”


    “How about this, when you and Beiting are free, go ahead and take your wedding photos. It’s summer now; the scenery is nice,” Li Beiting’s mother suggested.


    “Exactly, this season, Maldives, Phuket Ind are also good choices. Feifei, you pick,” Li Beiting’s father said.


    “I’ll go with whatever Brother Beiting arranges,” Mi Fei’s cheeks flushed as she nced at Li Beiting.


    “Beiting, what do you say?” Li Beiting’s father asked.


    Li Beiting set down his teacup and said faintly, “I’m fine with anything.”


    “Uncle, Aunt, Brother Beiting has been quite busy with work at hispanytely. Let’s wait until after he’s not so busy before going to take the wedding photos,” Mi Fei suggested.


    “That’s true, thepany has been a bit busytely. But it’s thoughtful of you, Feifei. I ampletely at ease knowing Beiting has you,” Li Beiting’s mother said.<div>


    “Feifei is so sensible. Feifei’s parents deserve much credit for how well they raised her,” Li Beiting’s father praised.


    Being praised continuously made Mi Fei even more embarrassed.


    “Having Feifei as a daughter-inw puts my mind at ease. Not like that…”


    “Cough cough.” Li Beiting’s father cleared his throat, interrupting his wife’s words.


    Everyone understood, and Li Beiting’s brow furrowed.


    “Here, Feifei, are you thirsty? Have some tea. This is rose tea your aunt just bought; taste it,” Li Beiting’s father said.


    Li Beiting’s mother also quickly changed the subject. “That’s right, I just got it from someone. It’s great for beauty and health; perfect for a girl to drink.”


    “Sure, any flower tea picked by Aunt must be great,” Mi Fei said as she lifted the cup, gently blowing the steam away.


    The fragrance of roses lingered in the air.


    Li Beiting suddenly felt a headacheing on; he closed his eyes, and his right hand formed a fist against his forehead.


    The summer heat wasn’t so cooling on his skin, and a thinyer of sweat had formed on his back.


    A few minutester, Mi Fei approached him, bending down: “Beiting, are you not feeling well? Should I help you to your bedroom to rest a bit?”


    As Li Beiting opened his eyes, he saw Mi Fei’s face close up.<div>


    Her face was delicate and beautiful, her enchanting eyes sparkling brightly.


    Li Beiting was somewhat dazed; he remembered another girl whose big eyes were also especially beautiful…


    Every blink seemed as if they could speak.


    A sense of mncholy washed over his heart…


    “You stay with my parents; I can go to the bedroom myself.”


    Li Beiting stood up, no longer lingering.


    “All right, you rest more and don’t tire yourself out,” Mi Fei said.


    She knew he had been busy with a project at thepany recently. Often, he, the president, would work overtime until midnight.


    “Hmm.”


    Li Beiting responded and left, heading inside the house.


    Mi Fei stayed seated next to Li Beiting’s parents, continuing the conversation.


    “Brother Beiting really has been a bit worn outtely; I won’t have him apany me shopping this afternoon,” Mi Fei said.


    “This kid, always working all hours, I’ve told him, aren’t the underlings there to do the work? If the CEO handles everything, what’s left for them to do?” Li Beiting’s father said with some annoyance.<div>
