It was past eleven when Li Yifei parked his car beneath Xu Yingying's apartment building, which he supposed could also be called his home. After all, his wife's belongings were his, and her home was his too.
After chatting and sharing a passionate moment with He Fangqing, she didn't let Li Yifei stay but insisted he go home instead.
Li Yifei didn't say much in response; perhaps it was because they were married that he felt it was excessive to stay out, even with Xu Yingying's knowledge of it.
Yet, standing outside the building, Li Yifei smoked two cigarettes in quick succession before slowly making his way upstairs. After all, this home still lacked a certain feeling of home for him.
He had the keys to Xu Yingying's place and didn't want to disturb her or Xu Shanshan by knocking at such a late hour. However, upon entering, he realized neither of them was asleep. Xu Shanshan was watching TV in the living room, and the door to Xu Yingying's bedroom was open with the light on.
