Chapter 1009: Chapter 1050: Consoling ng Xiaofei
Li Yifei thought ng Xiaofei was a ng Family mber for a reason. ng Xiaofei had ntioned before that she was from a major family and left early because she disliked the atmosphere at ho. The only prominent family nad ng seed to be the one in Capital City.
After Li Yifei killed ng Xiaojun and returned to Mile City, ng Xiaofei also happened to return to Mile City and ntioned that she attended a friend’s funeral. It was clear that she must have attended ng Xiaojun’s funeral. Although she didn’t like the ng Family, ng Xiaojun was still her relative. Even if they weren’t siblings, they could have been cousins.
Moreover, after ng Xiaofei returned, when Li Yifei carried her back to her room, the sleep talk ng Xiaofei uttered included saying she didn’t want to harm him. It seed that the ng Family knew about ng Xiaofei’s relationship with him and wanted her to do sothing that could harm him. However, rembering Li Yifei’s kindness, she didn’t want to do such a thing.
At this mont, Li Yifei held no resentnt towards ng Xiaofei and was actually very sympathetic. For soone as straightforward as ng Xiaofei to be involved in such a situation was utterly difficult. The dilemma and the struggle made it even harder for her to bear.
The next morning, when Li Yifei went to eat, ng Xiaofei, who usually greeted him spiritedly, was notably evasive, not acting as carefree as she had been the night before. This led Li Yifei to guess that ng Xiaofei must have received another urgent ssage from the ng Family, making her unable to face him.
With so ti left before the al, Li Yifei smiled and said to ng Xiaofei, "Xiaofei, I need to talk to you about sothing."
"Huh?" ng Xiaofei gasped, turning her head away to avoid Li Yifei’s gaze and chuckled, "I have nothing to say."
Li Yifei tapped on the top of ng Xiaofei’s head and said, "You might have nothing, but I do. Co on, let’s talk in your room."
"I...I’d rather not," ng Xiaofei murmured with her head down.
"What do you an ’no’? Are you even daring to disobey your brother now?" Li Yifei, without further discussion, pulled ng Xiaofei into the room and locked the door behind him.
This made ng Xiaofei extrely nervous. She stamred, "Brother Li, what... what do you want to say? Why did you lock the door?"
Li Yifei looked at ng Xiaofei, gently placed his hand on her shoulder, and spoke softly, "Xiaofei, you silly girl, how long were you planning to keep this from ?"
"I...I..." ng Xiaofei started, with her eyes reddening.
With an even gentler and apologetic tone, Li Yifei continued, "Silly girl, I know you’re a ng Family mber, I know ng Xiaojun was your brother. If I had thought it through, for your sake, I would have certainly spared his life."
ng Xiaofei’s lips trembled slightly as she said, "You knew?"
"You’re not good at lying. When you’re troubled, it’s clear to see. Ironically, it was my lack of attention that made others remind
of your connection to the ng Family."
ng Xiaofei’s nose twitched, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes before streaming down her cheeks. She sobbed, "Brother Li, you’ve been really good to , not like them, who just want to force
to do things I don’t want to do."
"I know it’s hard for you. On one side, there’s your blood family, and on the other, there’s . Hehe, do I think that I am more important to you than your own family?"
ng Xiaofei shook her head vigorously and said, "Not at all! Though I have two blood brothers and several cousins, none of them have truly made
feel cared for like brothers. Only you, Brother Li, have truly provided
the caring and pampering akin to an elder brother. In my heart, you’re much closer than they are."
As she spoke, ng Xiaofei rested her head on Li Yifei’s chest and began sobbing loudly.
Li Yifei did not stop her, but instead gently patted her back. He knew she had been holding back her emotions these past few days. If she didn’t let it out, he feared she might fall ill.
ng Xiaofei’s crying grew louder until she was nearly wailing, but after about a minute, her cries softened and eventually stopped.
Lifting her head, ng Xiaofei wiped away her tears and flashed Li Yifei a smile, saying, "Brother Li, crying it out really made
feel a lot better."
With a smile, Li Yifei said, "Yes, you’re not soone who can keep things bottled up. Don’t hold back in the future. If there’s anything, just tell , and I’ll help you sort it out."
"Mmm!" ng Xiaofei nodded vigorously and added, "I’ve made up my mind. Although they are my blood relatives, the things they want
to do are ant to harm you, and I can’t let that happen. If sothing happened to you, then no one would take care of ."
"If you disobey them, you are betraying your family," Li Yifei said as he wiped away her tears.
"I’m not afraid. I’ve betrayed them before, and I’ve been fine on my own for many years. Life has been happier with you more than it ever was with them. If they are upset and don’t want
anymore, then let it be, because you won’t abandon , right?"
"Yes, are you my sister? If you don’t want to get married, I’ll take care of you for the rest of my life."
"I knew my brother was the best to , hee hee, never mind, I’m changing my phone number today so they can’t find ."
Li Yifei nodded and said, "Xiaofei, there’s another question I need to ask you."
"What question?" ng Xiaofei stuck out her tongue and said, "No matter what the question is, I’ll answer it."
Li Yifei gave a brief smile, but imdiately turned serious and said, "Xiaofei, I won’t hide it from you, there’s bound to be a conflict with the ng Family, it’s just a matter of ti. If that day really cos, I’m really afraid it’ll be tough for you."
This ti, ng Xiaofei responded quite casually, "What’s so tough about that? They fight with this family and that family every day. There are always wins and losses. If they lose to you, that’s normal too."
"What if, because of the fight, soone gets hurt... like ng Xiaojun losing his life?"
"That... well, whatever then. They are always like that. Helping you, I feel guilty for the gratitude I owe them; helping them, I feel guilty for how good you’ve been to . So, I might as well help neither side and just do what makes
happy. Life’s only a few decades long; why not just enjoy it while I’m young? Why care so much?"
Li Yifei didn’t know whether to say ng Xiaofei was open-minded or heartless, but he had to admit, such people lived happier lives. Those who carry burdens in their hearts live tired lives.
"Mm, it’s good you think this way, but out of consideration for you, I’ll try to show so rcy to the ng Family."
"Hee hee, that works too. Then I can go ho and brag, telling them if it wasn’t for , ng Xiaofei, having a good brother like you, they’d all be finished, haha... That would be so cool."
Li Yifei’s face darkened instantly; ng Xiaofei’s heart was indeed very big.
Li Yifei patted ng Xiaofei’s shoulder and said, "Alright, if you can think this way, then let’s go out for a al."
ng Xiaofei nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, eating is most important."
Li Yifei held onto ng Xiaofei and said, "Look at you, switching between crying and laughing. Your face is all sared. You better clean up quickly."
ng Xiaofei exclaid and quickly pulled out a tissue, wiping her face, while Li Yifei looked around the room, frowning and said, "I’m really fed up with you, I don’t know who would be unlucky enough to marry you; this place always looks like a dog’s nest."
ng Xiaofei stuck out her tongue and said, "Then I just won’t get married."
Li Yifei shook his head and went to help ng Xiaofei tidy up, picking up a pile of undergarnts like panties, bras, and stockings in an instant. Fortunately, Li Yifei was used to seeing these things; otherwise, imagining ng Xiaofei wearing them could really make his nose bleed.
"Are these cleaned?" asked Li Yifei as he casually looked around.
"I don’t know, I’ll wash them later," ng Xiaofei said, slightly embarrassed.
Li Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "You should leave it to the maid, you lazy pig."
ng Xiaofei grinned and said, "Yes, yes, I’m a lazy pig, or why else would I cling to a good brother like Brother Li who treats
well and never leave? I’m afraid there won’t be another chance like this. Here’s another one." ng Xiaofei pulled out a pair of underwear from under her pillow and threw it directly at Li Yifei.
Li Yifei, completely unprepared, had it smack onto his face and quickly peeled it off, both annoyed and amused, saying, "You girl, throwing your underwear at my face."
ng Xiaofei laughed heartily and said, "It’s quite fun, maybe next ti I’ll put underwear on your head, that would look really cool."
Li Yifei was speechless, wondering if this girl could ever behave, show so restraint, or act a bit more ladylike. But he also knew, for the rest of her life, ng Xiaofei was unlikely to change, and he could only let it be.
From entering to leaving, Li Yifei didn’t ask ng Xiaofei how exactly the ng Family planned to deal with him. It would have been difficult for her, or rather, it would have forced her to take his side. Although he knew that if he asked, ng Xiaofei would definitely tell him, he didn’t want to put her in a tough position.
After the two ca out, no one asked much. They had heard the cries from inside, and seeing ng Xiaofei co out all smiles, they knew that Li Yifei had resolved her troubles, and that was
