Chapter 466: Chapter 475: Xu Yingying is Coming
In the following days, Li Yifei stayed at ho, keeping Chu Xiaoyao company. Zhou Xiaoyue also ca by often, and Su Yiyi was there in the evenings, so Chu Xiaoyao didn’t feel lonely at all. Gradually, she started to overco the grief of her parents’ passing. Although she couldn’t be as carefree as before, at least her smile wasn’t as forced anymore. However, she still couldn’t be left alone, or her mood would worsen.
These days, even though Li Yifei still shared a bed with Chu Xiaoyao, she beca much more behaved. Every night she would just snuggle up in Li Yifei’s arms, only occasionally getting mischievous by touching his private parts, without making any further requests.
This gave Li Yifei a lot of relief. Otherwise, being too intimate with such a beautiful girl was always a bit too hard to handle.
Having seen Zhou Xiaoyue around quite a bit, Li Yifei beca familiar with her and learned her full na. She wasn’t particularly mischievous, just lively, and quite empathetic. With her company, Chu Xiaoyao could more quickly walk out of her sadness.
Chu Xiaoyao’s company was sold to her uncle and her elder maternal uncle, but it wasn’t just the two of them who partnered up to buy it. Both extended families pitched in together. The asking price of 1.5 million was beyond what the two families could afford alone, but they were optimistic about the company’s future and found the price to be very reasonable, so everyone was happy with the deal.
Having received 1.5 million, Chu Xiaoyao gave it all to Li Yifei, who accepted the money. Now he was her guardian, even if not legally, but since Chu Xiaoyao needed his care, he had to take responsibility for her. It wasn’t good for a girl to have too much money on her hands, so managing it for her was naturally not a problem.
However, Li Yifei passed all the money to Su Yiyi. Within their small family, Su Yiyi was in charge of managing the finances. If Chu Xiaoyao needed money, she would ask Su Yiyi, and Chu Xiaoyao didn’t mind this arrangent at all.
During these days with Chu Xiaoyao, Li Yifei had received a few calls from Lin Qiong but surprisingly, no other calls ca through, which astounded him.
Xu Yingying remained indifferent during the two etings they had. Her not calling was one thing, but Xu Shanshan had always been on good terms with him, even to the point of ambiguity. Yet if Xu Yingying was resolved to leave him, it was normal for Xu Shanshan to not make contact.
But it was strange that Ye Yunzhu hadn’t called at all, and even Michelle hadn’t checked in on him once, which was abnormal.
And there was no word from Ning Xin’er either. Could it be that she had given up on him? But there was still a child in question.
When he thought of his child with Ning Xin’er, Li Yifei rembered Su ngxin. Right after dinner, while Chu Xiaoyao and Su Yiyi were playing gas in the bedroom, he imdiately called Su ngxin.
"Are you done with your business?" The tone in Su ngxin’s voice was gentle and carried subtle care, which Li Yifei found soothing to hear. During their ti together, Su ngxin’s care had been like drizzle, gradually nourishing his heart.
"I finished it a while ago. Recently, Xiaoyao’s parents passed away, so I’ve been looking after her."
"So it’s like that."
Confused by Su ngxin’s tone, Li Yifei asked, "What’s wrong?"
"Heh, everyone thought you were still busy, so no one called you, I guess?"
"Sweat, I was wondering why my phone has been so quiet these days." Su ngxin’s words instantly cleared up Li Yifei’s confusion.
"Right, the child matter you asked
to look into, I’ve done so preliminary investigation. It looks like Ning Xin’er hasn’t gone out to et any child alone over these years. However, her neighbors, a young couple, have a three-year-old daughter. Although they have a birth certificate, the couple used to be just ordinary, but now they live in the sa high-end district as Ning Xin’er, which is unusual. I suspect that the girl might be your daughter. This way, Ning Xin’er can see her daughter conveniently without raising suspicion outside."
Li Yifei imdiately felt an indescribable sensation and asked, "Where exactly is the address? I’d like to go there and see for myself."
"Okay." Su ngxin promptly provided Li Yifei with an address.
After silently committing the address to mory, Li Yifei said sincerely, "ngxin, I really appreciate your help."
"Why be so formal with ? Don’t chat too long. You should hurry up and call Yingying and the others. They must be really anxious by now."
Li Yifei gave a wry smile, "Yingying... I’ve seen her twice, but she treated
like a stranger. I think it’s better to just let it be."
"You really are clueless. Yingying thinks you’re on so special mission, so she didn’t dare to talk to you, isn’t it? I had told her that you’d settle everything in about half a month."
Li Yifei was taken aback, "Is that so?"
"Yes, go on, you as a husband really don’t understand your wife."
Li Yifei laughed awkwardly, exchanged a few more words with Su ngxin, and then ended the call.
With the phone in hand, Li Yifei hesitated for a while, but finally decided to call Xu Yingying first.
"Husband!" The phone rang only once before it was answered, followed by Xu Yingying’s excited cry.
Li Yifei had been sowhat worried, but that "Husband" instantly swept away all his concerns, and he couldn’t help but get excited as he said, "Wife, I’m back."
Xu Yingying spoke anxiously, "You’re back? Where are you, I’ll co to pick you up."
"I’m at our old ho."
"Ah... you... you’re with Yiyi?" Xu Yingying’s voice suddenly beca flustered.
Li Yifei took a deep breath and said, "Yes!"
"Why... why didn’t you co ho? Are you still angry with ?"
Xu Yingying, such a strong woman, was actually speaking to Li Yifei in such a fragile tone, which really moved him. He had called Xu Yingying and had been honest about being with Su Yiyi, hoping it would make Xu Yingying angry so that they would part ways, sparing her any hurt.
But Xu Yingying’s reaction made him suddenly feel that his behavior was a display of shirking responsibility. As the leader of the Flying Hawk Squad, who had protected so many dignitaries and important figures without a single failure, he would be a complete failure if he couldn’t even protect his own woman.
"Wife, I’m not angry. Xiaoyao’s parents passed away, and I’ve been taking care of her these last few days. The day I got back I saw you, you ignored , and I thought you were mad at , so I didn’t dare to contact you."
"Ah!" Xu Yingying exclaid, unsure if she was surprised by Li Yifei’s explanation or taken aback by the news of Chu Xiaoyao’s parents’ demise.
"Wife, Xiaoyao is very emotionally unstable right now, and she’s especially attached to . If I leave, she would be very upset, so I need to take care of her for a couple more days."
"Okay! Then it shouldn’t be a problem for
to co over and see her, right?"
Li Yifei smiled slightly and said, "Co on over, the more the rrier, soone to talk to her will be good."
"Okay, I’ll be right there."
"I’m coming too!" Another voice shouted over the phone, likely Xu Shanshan’s, who must have been eavesdropping by Xu Yingying’s side.
After hanging up the phone, Li Yifei walked into the bedroom and smiled at Su Yiyi and Chu Xiaoyao, "Yiyi, Xiaoyao, Yingying and Shanshan will be coming over in a bit."
"Ah!" The mouse slipped from Su Yiyi’s hand onto the bed, she tossed the laptop aside, and said in a fluster, "Then I must hurry up and leave!"
Seeing Su Yiyi’s panicked reaction, Li Yifei felt a pang in his heart, held her shoulders, and firmly said, "No need to leave."
"No, no... Brother Li, this won’t do." Su Yiyi shook her head vigorously, stuttering, "Your wife will be mad at you, and you won’t be able to reconcile."
Li Yifei pulled Su Yiyi into his arms and said, "Yiyi, I can’t treat you like this. Even if I can’t give you a marriage, I can’t let you live in the shadows."
"Brother Li... I’m not scared, I really can’t et your wife, I’m afraid, please let
go, Brother Li," Su Yiyi was so anxious she started to cry.
Chu Xiaoyao then jumped up, saying excitedly, "Sister Yiyi, you don’t need to be afraid, I’m here too. Didn’t Brother Li say it, his wife is going to leave him, so why should we be afraid of her?"
Li Yifei laughed awkwardly and said, "Xiaoyao, I misunderstood, my wife has no intention of leaving ."
"Ah?" Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes widened in shock, but quickly retorted, "Then we’re not afraid either. Even if we’re mistresses, we’ll do it openly and never compromise with your wife."
Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Stop talking nonsense." Then, tenderly, he spoke, "Yiyi, even if Yingying gets angry, I won’t let you down. Let’s face her openly today."
"No, absolutely not!" Su Yiyi was adamant, struggling hard, and said emotionally, "Brother Li, I can agree to anything else, but I really can’t agree to this. I am scared, I am truly too scared, please, let
go."
Looking at Su Yiyi’s pitiful appearance, Li Yifei sighed and said, "Alright then. But you don’t have to leave; the two rooms next door are always vacant. I’ll open one up for you to stay in briefly, will that be okay?"
"Yes, yes!" The thing Su Yiyi was most afraid of was eting Xu Yingying, and as long as she wasn’t made to et Xu Yingying, she was willing to be anywhere.
