CHAPTER 1576: CHAPTER 1628: CONTRACT NEGOTIATION

The two women were shocked. They didn’t expect Li Yifei to actually strip off their clothes, and with such speed that they had no time to stop him or beg for mercy. The few pathetic pieces of cloth they had on were yanked away, leaving Wu Shuwei and Angelina completely devoid of courage.

Just moments ago, the two women were like two mighty hawks ready to pounce. Now, they were more like newly hatched chicks, their hands wrapped around their chests, and their legs clenched tightly together. Yet, they still felt as if they were completely exposed before Li Yifei.

How did it come to this? The two women, in a daze, couldn’t stop thinking.

After the slight punishment, Li Yifei didn’t deliberately take advantage of them. Instead, he pushed himself up and jumped ashore.

Standing at the edge, Li Yifei looked down at the two and said, "Let’s call it a day. Go back."

Having said this, Li Yifei turned and left, with an air that suggested he was doing it with effortless grace, almost as if he were leaving under a cloak of grandeur.

Although he didn’t have a cloak, Li Yifei did leave a trail of water behind him. It wasn’t until he reached the villa’s door that he used True Qi to dry himself off before walking inside.

In the pool, Angelina suddenly felt two murderous glares directed at her. This made her immediately stop grinning and, shaking her head, she explained, "This... was really unpredictable. I didn’t intentionally run away. Don’t look at me like that."

"You’re too disloyal!" Wu Shuwei said. She didn’t know if Li Yifei had seen her private parts, and even if he did, there was nothing she could do about it now. So, all her resentment turned toward Angelina, the only one not stripped bare.

Sarama also snorted and said, "If you hadn’t run, maybe we could have stripped the Golden Eagle. But you sold us out!"

Angelina felt like crying but had no tears. She actually wanted Li Yifei to strip her. Seeing his scar-riddled and muscular body made her flush with heat, but she knew he wouldn’t fancy her. So, under the questioning of the two women, Angelina decided to go all out and simply pulled off her own clothes.

Since they were swimming, the house’s servants had all automatically retreated to the other house at the entrance, so no one could see what was happening here.

Now, all three women were naked, and Angelina said, "Satisfied now?"

The two had nothing to say. This woman had actually stripped herself, so what else was there to say?

The three naked women stood in the pool, no longer needing to cover themselves, and they gazed at each other silently.

After all the commotion, they didn’t manage to strip Li Yifei. Instead, they ended up naked. What was this all about?

Wu Shuwei gave a strong blink, glanced at Sarama and Angelina, slightly frowned, and thought to herself that these two women indeed had better figures. Although she was slimmer and her waist was more toned, her chest was indeed smaller.

Sarama, on the other hand, envied Wu Shuwei’s skin. The skin of Eastern women was indeed more delicate, unlike hers, which needed shaving and care every few days to shrink the pores.

Angelina secretly sighed, thinking how wonderful youth is. She was the oldest among the three, and even though she took care of her skin and kept fit, she still wasn’t as good in shape as Sarama and Wu Shuwei.

Li Yifei stood by the window on the second floor, just able to see the pool. At that moment, he was openly watching the three women’s bodies. Seeing that they were all standing there in a daze, Li Yifei couldn’t help but reflect on whether he had gone too far. A part of him acted out of a sense of revenge earlier.

If Li Yifei knew that the three women in the pool were not only not blaming him but were actually absorbed in all sorts of random thoughts, he might consider throwing their swimsuits a hundred meters away.

Shaking his head, Li Yifei stopped peeking and instead turned to the bathroom. After taking a shower, upon coming out, he heard the women’s voices outside the door. They had also returned to the house and went to their rooms to shower.

Half an hour later, Wu Shuwei, with a flushed face, sat on the bed in Li Yifei’s room. Li Yifei had moved a chair to sit across from her.

The misunderstanding between them was temporarily cleared up, but Wu Shuwei felt that specific matters still needed to be discussed with Li Yifei. After all, they were officially signing the contract tomorrow. Details about the contract and some particulars needed to be discussed.

First and foremost, Wu Shuwei needed to confirm one thing. She said, "Are you really planning to entrust the entire business here to me and my company for management and operation?"

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Of course. If I had time, it would be better to spend more with my wife and children at home rather than waste it here. You already know my intentions, so I will entrust it to you. How you manage it is your business, I won’t interfere."

Wu Shuwei decided to trust Li Yifei. She nodded firmly and said, "Okay, I’ll do my best! There are still some details to discuss, and a few parts of the contract need to be notified to the Dubai side for amendments. After all, the amount you’re investing might be excessive and possibly unused, but your share is relatively small, so we must secure more."

Li Yifei looked at Wu Shuwei with appreciation. This woman’s quick thinking was indeed remarkable, which was something the women at home had also mentioned. Wu Shuwei had just figured out Li Yifei’s purpose, and she was able to come up with this point.

"Here’s the revised contract. Take a look, and then we can discuss it." Li Yifei opened his laptop, pulled up a document, and handed the laptop to Wu Shuwei. Standing up, he said, "I’ll get something to drink. What would you like?"

"Soda water is fine, thank you." Wu Shuwei said without even looking up. Once in work mode, Wu Shuwei’s attention was highly focused as she looked at the screen, reading line by line slowly.

Li Yifei stepped out and happened upon Sarama, who was sneakily crouched outside the door, seemingly trying to peek at him. Caught red-handed as he exited, Sarama wanted to turn away immediately.

"Hey, help me get some milk and a glass of soda water." Li Yifei chuckled, watching Sarama who was wriggling her way to escape. He instructed her directly, with the earlier scene flashing in his mind. He had to admit, this young lady did have quite a good figure—that shape... those curves...

Sarama agreed and ran downstairs to serve Li Yifei.

Li Yifei turned back into the room, lowering his head to send messages.

Five or six minutes later, Wu Shuwei lifted her head, pursed her lips, and said, "This contract is pretty much as I expected. Some parts are even more comprehensive. However, I suggest consulting a professional lawyer to ensure it complies with Dubai’s law."

"I’ll leave that to you. Your company surely has personnel in this area. If I handle it, I’d still have to find someone." Li Yifei replied.

Wu Shuwei agreed, walked to the window with her phone, and made a call. After hanging up, she immediately sent Li Yifei’s new contract to a professional lawyer using the computer.

For the final question, Wu Shuwei looked at Li Yifei and asked, "Why do you trust me!"

Li Yifei smiled and looked at Wu Shuwei, without answering, but his gaze seemed to convey a lot of information.

This smile-without-answer expression gave several answers to Wu Shuwei’s mind, each causing a little panic in her heart.

Could it be that he likes me? Wu Shuwei thought, just about to directly ask Li Yifei, when a knock came at the door. Sarama walked in with a plate of sliced fruits, two glasses of milk, and a glass of soda water. After glancing at Wu Shuwei and Li Yifei, seeing they were sitting quite far apart, her brows smoothed.

Placing the fruit platter on the small table, Sarama handed the milk to Li Yifei and the soda water to Wu Shuwei. She held a glass of milk herself, pulled up a chair, and sat beside Li Yifei, sipping slowly.

Knowing they were discussing cooperation, which was considered a business secret, Sarama started by saying, "You can continue discussing it without worrying about me. I definitely won’t disclose what you talk about."

Wu Shuwei glanced upward slightly. They had finished discussing the business secrets; now she wanted to ask what Li Yifei thought of her. Such a question would be impossible to ask with Sarama present.

After drinking half a glass of soda water, Wu Shuwei stood up and said to Li Yifei, "If possible, please send me a copy of your contract. I’ll review it again and try to understand it. Also, please wake up early tomorrow; we still have to negotiate with the officials and discuss the final contract."

Li Yifei made a sound of agreement and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Wu Shuwei walked out the door, pouted, and regretted as soon as she took a few steps outside. Why leave so early? Why not have Sarama leave with her too? But since she had already come out, it wouldn’t be good to return, so Wu Shuwei shuffled back to the guest room, opened her computer, and calculated the time, ready to receive Li Yifei’s email.

Two minutes later, Li Yifei’s email arrived, and only then did Wu Shuwei’s tense face relax a little. She thought to herself, "It’s a good thing you were quick. If it had been ten more minutes, this lady wouldn’t have waited on you."

Inside the room, after finishing their milk, Sarama yawned lightly, seemingly a bit sleepy, so Li Yifei said, "Go on, back to your room and sleep."

Sarama shook her head, reached for Li Yifei’s arm, and rested her face against it, seemingly finding a comfortable position, then said, "Are you going back to Huaxia once you’re done here?"

Li Yifei said, "Yes, that’s right."

"Will you come back?"

"I think I might, probably will. But I have a lot on my plate, so I can’t be sure when I’ll make it back." Li Yifei said honestly.

Sarama made an "oh" sound, and after a long pause, said, "Then let me lean on you a bit longer, it’s not much time anyway."
