Chapter 1582: Trivial Matters After Drinking

Li Yifei and Prince Sashar drank all the alcohol they had in the car and still felt unsatisfied. They directed the driver to take them to a bar. Dubai, being relatively liberal among Islamic countries, does not prohibit drinking. This bar was quite high-end, where they could drink behind closed doors without being disturbed, providing a tranquil setting. Sashar went to buy drinks and food, and he and Li Yifei started to drink.

Can after can, beers, champagne, brandy, and even vodka, all mixed together, Li Yifei was somewhat drunk, and Sashar was even more in a mess.

It’s often said that people speak truthfully after drinking. Surprisingly, Sashar did not talk nonsense but only expressed concern for Li Yifei’s safety. He seldom met an interesting friend and didn’t want anyone to be assassinated over money matters, otherwise, he wouldn’t feel compelled to offend his uncle.

When it comes to money issues, not just uncles, even fathers might turn hostile, which is quite common in the royal family.

In the end, Sashar simply passed out, while Li Yifei leaned on the sofa, feet propped on the table, quietly staring ahead, lost in thought. Before coming to Dubai, he never anticipated these events. Now, he not only met a seemingly reliable prince but also won 10 billion US dollars from a certain duke. Although that old man would not honestly pay, these are resources nonetheless. After all, his purpose in coming to Dubai was to secure oil field development rights from the UAE, earning himself political capital back home.

Things were originally a bit unclear, but now it seems like matters have become a lot simpler.

Thinking of this, Li Yifei took a sip of cold beer, feeling the cool sensation slide down his throat and into his stomach. He crushed the empty can, flicked his fingers, and the crushed can spun in the air before landing steadily on the table.

Taking a glance at the soundly sleeping Sashar, Li Yifei stood up and walked out, called his driver over, and told him to take Sashar home. Li Yifei, on the other hand, hailed a cab back to the hotel.

Back in the room, Wu Shuwei seemed not to have returned yet. Li Yifei picked up the phone and called home.

He briefly mentioned the events of the past few days, and the women at home shared what had happened there. Towards the end, Li Yifei said he would resolve the issues here as soon as possible so he could return home.

"Honey, concentrate on your work. We all miss you a lot, but we also know you are working on a big task, so none of us will disturb you," Ye Yunzhu said as she took over the phone. "However, do get it done quickly. The baby really misses you and asks me many times every day about when Daddy is coming home."

"Yes, I will. It should be settled soon," Li Yifei felt warmth in his heart. His second daughter could run around now; if he were home, he could accompany her to see butterflies and bees at Worm King Xiaowu, take her out sometimes, and prepare the food she likes. Li Yifei hadn’t properly spent time with these children. In a few months, both younger sons and daughters might be able to sit up and start babbling, and Jiang Ningxiang’s baby would be born soon too.

However, her belly wasn’t too large yet, not very conspicuous. Jiang Ningxiang was worried about having a daughter, as she preferred boys. Because of this, she secretly mentioned a few times to Li Yifei, wanting to get an ultrasound to check if it was a boy or girl.

Li Yifei did not allow it; he didn’t hold those conservative views. He loves both boys and girls equally. So, he disagreed with Jiang Ningxiang checking the sex of the baby. The family doctor knows the gender but wouldn’t disclose it either.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yifei clenched his fists, wanting not only to return home to be with his wife and children but also to find his eldest son. He’s been missing for so many days; he could speak by now, right?

Those damned people better hope I won’t find out who they are; otherwise, they will face my wrath! Li Yifei’s fists clenched tightly with cracking sounds.

After a while, Li Yifei slowly got up, walked to his bedroom, opened his laptop and checked some documents, then lay down to sleep for a while.

Half-asleep, Li Yifei opened his eyes, hearing some noises from the room.

It was Wu Shuwei; Li Yifei recognized the sound of high heels, but... there’s another voice?

Li Yifei sat up immediately, listening through the door, hearing Wu Shuwei say: "No... thank you, I can manage myself, please leave."

The other voice finally spoke, laughing somewhat lewdly, saying: "Hehe, Miss Wu, you’ve drunk so much; I can’t feel at ease. Come on, let me help you to your bedroom. Once you’re settled in, I’ll leave."

Then came the sounds of shoving; Wu Shuwei seemed to be resisting, saying: "I don’t need it, let me go, I... ask you to respect me."

Hearing this, Li Yifei couldn’t help but stand up. If Wu Shuwei had brought a man back willingly, he would pretend not to be home so as not to interrupt their business. But listening now, it seemed like a sleazy man was trying to take advantage of Wu Shuwei’s drunkenness, and Li Yifei would have to intervene.

A gentleman has desires but pursues them rightfully; resorting to disgraceful acts to win over a woman is quite shameful.

The man’s voice sounded again outside: "Miss Wu, don’t you want to gain my support? Don’t forget, your company initially invested over a billion; if I don’t nod, you won’t recover any of it. Hehe, but if you stay with me, then we can negotiate about that money."

Wu Shuwei pushed the other party away, broke free from his hand, struggled to open her eyes, and shouted, "Obe, I told you I won’t sell my body, and even more so I won’t sell myself for something like this. The company’s matters are the company’s matters. If you don’t return that money, we’ll see you in court!"

"Haha, court? This is Dubai; your laws don’t apply to us here. Miss Wu, are you sure you won’t accompany me?"

"Get lost!" Wu Shuwei shouted with all her might.

Not only did the other party not get lost, he instead sneered and approached, his face twisted with a sinister smile as he said, "Seems like you don’t have a choice. Who let me into this room, anyway? It’s very soundproof here; no one can save you. I heard you’ve never had a boyfriend, click click, still a clean virgin. I, on the other hand, love clean women, so today, you just enjoy yourself."

Wu Shuwei struggled to retreat, but her body had already bumped against the door, Li Yifei’s door no less. She had nowhere to go, and with no weapon in her hand, a wave of despair surged in her heart.

At this moment, a strange image of Li Yifei suddenly appeared in Wu Shuwei’s mind. If he were here, he would definitely save her, wouldn’t he?

She didn’t have time to think about why, in this situation, the person she thought of was Li Yifei, but she really was out of options. She was barely able to stand as an obscene old man with a full beard and a huge nose reddened by alcohol was already approaching.

Click, a slight sound surprised the old man slightly, then the door Wu Shuwei was leaning on opened. A man with an Eastern face looked at him coldly.

Wu Shuwei had been leaning on the door, and when it suddenly opened, she lost her balance and fell backward.

"Ah..." Wu Shuwei thought she was going to fall heavily. If she fell, the obscene old man across from her would pounce.

But a second later, a strong arm caught her, supporting Wu Shuwei, and a warm voice sounded in her ear, "It’s me."

Li Yifei held Wu Shuwei, who also turned her head to look at him, and instantly her heart felt secure. She said with a crying voice, "Save me."

"I know. Alright, you lie down for a bit while I talk to this gentleman," Li Yifei said, picking up Wu Shuwei and placing her on the bed.

The countless grievances and fears in her heart miraculously vanished. Being lifted onto the bed by Li Yifei, Wu Shuwei kept her eyes open, watching Li Yifei. Lying on the soft bed, she really stopped worrying about the outside world, after all, with Li Yifei handling it.

The entire time, the old man watched awkwardly, but being an old lecher, he actually smiled when he saw Li Yifei walk out and close the door, even extending his hand pro-actively, saying, "I’m Obe, the Minister of Commerce in Dubai."

Li Yifei looked at this old lecher whose eye bags were about to hang down to his chin, ignored him and said, "What else do you want to say?"

Obe awkwardly laughed. He had indeed been coveting Wu Shuwei for a long time. Although he was a Westerner, he had a preference for Eastern women, especially loved their delicate skin. Though their breasts might be smaller, they seemed more easily satisfied, and their moans in bed were very pleasing to the ear.

Today, after getting Wu Shuwei drunk, Obe saw his chance, and he actively proposed to take her back. His real purpose was to have her, as for the promises he made earlier, who knows if they could even be fulfilled, he hadn’t really thought about it either.

Who would have thought this woman had a man at home, they were even living together.

This damn woman, usually pretending to be so proper, damn it! Obe cursed inwardly.

Li Yifei waited for half a minute, seeing the other party remaining silent, he said, "So there’s nothing else to say, I assume."

Obe retreated two steps; he felt he couldn’t beat the other party. That’s why he instantly revealed his identity earlier. But in reality, he was just an assistant to the Minister of Commerce, not even a deputy, at most a minor character.

"Gentleman, maybe this was a misunderstanding. You saw, I didn’t do anything to Miss Wu!" Obe defended himself.

Li Yifei nodded lightly and said, "And then?"

"Uh... well, it’s common for men to be lecherous, so please understand. Miss Wu has you taking care of her, I’m relieved. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going. You saw, I drank quite a bit and am a bit drunk!" Obe said, turning to leave. He was absolutely unafraid of Li Yifei; after all, this was Dubai, and a Huaxia Person couldn’t threaten him here. But getting beaten up wouldn’t be good either.
