Chapter 248: Chapter 248: How Affectionate It Is to Call Soone Sister
On his way back to Li Xuantong dical Hall, Yang Fei couldn’t help but call Li Xuanyu.
It seed that Li Xuanyu had been expecting his call for she answered imdiately, "Are you done with your business?"
Yang Fei humd a response and said, "Sister Xuanyu, you haven’t been in contact with those people from the past, have you?"
"No, when you told everyone that there was an internal problem and instructed us not to trust anyone, we haven’t contacted each other since," Li Xuanyu replied.
Yang Fei’s brows furrowed as he said, "If that’s the case, then the person who tried to kill you today was indeed hired by soone in your family, and not because he knew your true identity?"
Li Xuanyu laughed softly over the phone and said, "When you first gathered everyone to play together, you required that we wear masks for each eting and address each other by code nas. Besides you, no other mber should have seen each other’s faces. The person you’re suspecting should also not know ."
Yang Fei felt relieved and said, "That’s good then."
Li Xuanyu asked, "How much longer will it take for you to recover your strength?"
Yang Fei was silent for a while before saying, "I don’t know, and I’m not even sure if I can truly return to my peak condition."
In reality, after learning that being with Qin Yanyang had a special effect on his cultivation, Yang Fei knew it was only a matter of ti before he would return to his peak, and he might even beco stronger then.
Yet, at that mont, he still wasn’t completely honest with Li Xuanyu.
Each mber of the International Madman had a deep relationship with him. Many of them had even received his help, which is why under his call, people who were strangers to each other could co together to form the International Madman, and in just a few years, they made a huge na for themselves in the foreign underworld.
But it was also due to the betrayal of an internal mber that they were nearly annihilated.
After that incident, Yang Fei was both emotionally and ntally injured, and he didn’t trust anyone absolutely, including Li Xuanyu.
At this mont, he felt sowhat guilty and self-reproachful for hiding the truth from Li Xuanyu, but for the sake of safety, he did it anyway.
Li Xuanyu, unaware of Yang Fei’s concealnt, expressed her concern, "You can do it. I believe you will adjust your condition and quickly return to your peak. You will surely explain things to everyone regarding the incident a year ago. Everyone is waiting for you to reappear."
Yang Fei was touched and also felt the weight of responsibility.
As the founder of the International Madman, it was his duty to take responsibility for the ambush.
"I hope so. You know , Sister Xuanyu. When I truly regain my strength, I won’t let this matter be buried. I’ll make those who betrayed us pay a heavy price." By the end, Yang Fei’s tone was icy cold.
Feeling the chill in his voice, Li Xuanyu was inwardly pleased, feeling as though the unmatched, invincible Madman King was back.
"Mhm, Sister believes you can definitely do it," Li Xuanyu encouraged.
"Thank you, Sister Xuanyu," Yang Fei said.
"You’re acting so formal with ? Yang Fei, have you... have you really gotten married, fallen for her?" Li Xuanyu’s voice took on a wistful tone.
Yang Fei sighed softly in his heart.
ntos of the past flooded his mind.
But he knew he was already married, and that Qin Yanyang treated him well; genuine feelings had developed between them.
Though he was sowhat naive in matters of the heart, he was not a scoundrel. He was a decisive person and with so reluctance, he still said, "Yes, she has been good to . We have gotten along well these days and have developed feelings for each other."
Upon hearing Yang Fei’s response, Li Xuanyu felt a pain in her heart.
She knew Yang Fei well, understood that the grown man she had watched over was incredibly straightforward, and knew he would not use false words to deceive her.
With her eyes reddening, she asked, "Did you ever like
in the past?"
Confronted with this question from Li Xuanyu, Yang Fei didn’t know how to respond.
He could recall every little interaction they had had before, and he could feel his current heartbeats clearly wrong, yet he dared not answer directly.
Li Xuanyu waited a while without getting an answer, broke into a radiant smile, and said, "I got it, little brother Yang Fei. I won’t tease you anymore. Hanging up now."
Yang Fei was restless all afternoon, and whenever there were no patients to see, mories of the past would surface in his mind.
He thought that if it hadn’t been for the incident a year ago, he would never have co back, and he wouldn’t have t Qin Yanyang through a blind date.
Perhaps he would already have beco close with Li Xuanyu by now.
After all, all that was missing between the two of them was a slight push through a paper-thin separation, which, once pierced, would lead to uncontrollable consequences.
But now he was married, with Qin Yanyang as his wife, and he had to bury past affections deep in his heart; otherwise, it would only harm both won.
Fortunately, he had never breached that layer of relationship with Sister Xuanyu.
As he pondered, the image of Tong Yunshu appeared in Yang Fei’s mind.
He wanted to expel both Tong Yunshu and Li Xuanyu from his thoughts, but found it was simply impossible.
Especially the graceful figure of Yun Shu and her enchanting, flirtatious expressions after being poisoned.
His inner fire blazed.
He forced himself to practice the cultivation technique several tis to clear his distracting thoughts and finally cald down completely.
Just before the end of his shift, Qin Yanyang called, saying she had already bought groceries and asked when he would be coming ho.
Knowing she had sothing to tell him, Yang Fei said goodbye to Li Xuantong and left for ho early.
Watching Yang Fei leave, Li Xuantong shook his head and sighed, his eyes full of regret.
The boy was married now, and his wife was extrely outstanding, even a bit more beautiful than his own granddaughter; it seed it was no longer possible to match him with her.
When he got ho, Qin Yanyang had indeed prepared dinner.
Since he had eaten quite a lot at noon, Yang Fei didn’t feel very hungry, but Qin Yanyang had barely eaten at lunch, so she had a good appetite.
The two of them chatted while eating.
Qin Yanyang brought up Wang Hui’s matter on her own, explaining, "Wang Hui is from the Hidden Sect, a very special existence, which is why I asked you to let him off the hook. Otherwise, it could lead to big trouble later on."
Yang Fei nodded and said, "Even if there were other issues, since you’ve spoken, I would let him go."
Qin Yanyang smiled sweetly, "You listen to
so well?"
Yang Fei laughed, "Of course, a happy life is all about listening to one’s wife. You’re so good to , I have even more reason to listen."
Recalling Tong Yunshu’s figure, which occupied his thoughts all afternoon, Yang Fei felt he had been quite irritable lately and wanted to end his virginity sooner.
Qin Yanyang felt sothing was off and chided, "Don’t be so slick with your words; you weren’t like this before."
Yang Fei chuckled, "I didn’t understand romance before, but now we’re in the throes of love. I’ve learned it all on my own—my feelings just co out without thinking, I can’t help it."
Qin Yanyang’s face flushed, and her heartbeat sped up.
If she had heard such sweet nothings before, she would have felt disgust and nausea, but for so reason, even though Yang Fei’s words felt strange to her today, she didn’t dislike them. In fact, they gave her a tingling, numbing sensation.
She realized she had truly fallen for this man.
This was the feeling of being in love.
Feeling Yang Fei’s burning gaze on her, Qin Yanyang’s heart raced, and she beca suddenly wary.
She couldn’t let him succeed so easily.
She quickly changed the subject, smiling playfully at Yang Fei, "Then, can you tell
how you t Li Xuanyu overseas? Just yesterday, soone claid not to know her, but today you’re calling her ’Sister Xuanyu’ with such familiarity and warmth."
Oh no, he had accidentally forgotten about that!
