Chapter 1020: Chapter 1061: Xu Shanshan Takes ActionLi Yifei finally returned home, where Lin Qiong and Xu Yingying quickly surrounded him, anxiously asking, "How did it go?"
Li Yifei took a deep breath, wrapped his arms around both their waists, and said, "Itâs all good. I convinced them to give us some time to handle it ourselves."
Xu Yingying, worried, said, "Did they really agree? Other matters aside, with something like this, I always feel my parents wouldnât be so easygoing."
Lin Qiong also expressed doubt, "My parents are like two old antique pieces; how could they so readily agree?"
Li Yifei laughed and said, "They love their daughter, of course they want whatâs best for her, so as long as I focus on that point, I have my ways." He roughly explained what had happened to the two of them.
After hearing the story, they were still not quite reassured. Lin Qiong bit her lip and said, "Iâve thought of a way."
Li Yifei and Xu Yingying immediately asked, "What way?"
Lin Qiong hesitantly said, "Get pregnant."
Both Xu Yingying and Li Yifei were taken aback, but quickly realized that it wasnât a bad idea. If Lin Qiong got pregnant, her parents would have no choice but to acknowledge the situation.
Li Yifei hesitated for a moment before saying, "It could work, but donât you not want to have children so soon?"
Lin Qiong rolled her eyes and said, "What else can I do? If I donât have a child, my parents will drag me back home."
But now Xu Yingying was getting anxious and said, "Itâs fine for you to want kids, I want them too, but I havenât gotten pregnant after all this time."
Lin Qiong immediately responded, "Last checkup showed you had no problems; surely you can get pregnant sooner or later. Once we both have kids, they canât possibly want them to be fatherless, right? Come on, letâs go now. Today you have to get me pregnant. If you canât, Iâll hold you accountable."
Lin Qiong pulled Li Yifei up and dragged him toward the bedroom.
Xu Yingying shook her head. She felt that this approach might not solve the problem, but there didnât seem to be any alternative. So they might as well give it a try, especially since she really did want a child now.
That night, Li Yifei gave his all, completely exhausted. Normally, when they were all together, Li Yifei could handle both, preserving his energy, satisfying one first before moving to the other. His stamina was usually sufficient, so such activities were not overly taxing for him.
But today was different. Both Lin Qiong and Xu Yingying were demanding, and it wasnât just about physical strength; he had to deliver, and they were afraid they wouldnât get pregnant on the first try, so they wanted a second, then a third. This was no easy task. In the end, Li Yifei was so drained he couldnât keep up and collapsed into a deep sleep on the bed, only to be woken up by Lin Qiong and Xu Yingying the next morning.
When they went to eat, everyone saw how exhausted Li Yifei looked and couldnât help but be surprised. Ning Xinâer joked with a laugh, "Say, Lin Qiong and Yingying, you two were wild last night, werenât you? How did you end up tiring out your husband like this?"
Everyone laughed along. Li Yifei usually woke up energetic and had never seemed so drained before, so Ning Xinâerâs words were clearly in jest, and nobody took it seriously.
But at that moment, Li Yifei managed a wry smile and said, "Yeah, they nearly drained me dry."
The laughter continued, as nobody really believed it was true. Su Yiyi asked with concern, "Husband, are you so tired because youâre not feeling well?"
Li Yifei chuckled bitterly and replied, "No, Qiongqiong and Yingying both want to have children, so I just did my best. Itâs a bit tiring, but Iâll be fine after some rest."
Everyone was stunned and then turned to look at Lin Qiong and Xu Yingying. Xu Yingying appeared a bit embarrassed, while Lin Qiong said, "We had no choice but to have kids. Last night, my parents and Yingyingâs caught us in the room."
"No way?" Everyoneâs eyes widened in disbelief.
Xu Shanshan even grabbed her sisterâs arm and said, "Did our parents really come?"
Xu Yingying managed a resigned smile and replied, "Yes, they showed up last night out of the blue, without even a phone call beforehand. And they came with Lin Qiongâs parents, too. The worst part is, it was when the two of us were together."
Xu Shanshan quickly said, "You got caught in bed?"
"No."
"Was all this really necessary? You could have just said Qiongqiong had something to do tonight, so sheâs staying over."
Lin Qiong said, "That would have come out sooner or later. How long can we keep this a secret? So we just told them. Better they know sooner and start accepting it than wait till theyâre older and their hearts canât take it, and then something unfortunate happens."
With that explanation, everyone could understand, but the thought of this troublesome matter was quite headache-inducing. Suddenly, Xu Shanshan burst into laughter and said, "Sis, our parents must have been furious, right?"
Xu Yingying rolled her eyes and said, "You still find this funny. You go and spend time with our parents today. Have a good talk with them, so they donât get too upset."
Xu Shanshan stiffened her neck and said, "Youâre asking for my help, yet you have this attitude? Forget it, Iâm not doing it."
Xu Yingying quickly interjected, "My dear sister, I knew youâre full of ideas, and you can charm mom and dad too. Could you please handle this for us, okay? Later on, whatever you want, Iâll get your brother-in-law to buy it for you."
"Thatâs more like it," Xu Shanshan smiled triumphantly and then snapped her fingers, "Then rest assured, leave it to me. Iâll definitely get mom and dad to accept everyone."
Everyone looked at Xu Shanshan in surprise. Actually, pulling this off wasnât easy at all. Zheng Yuling and Xiao Lingâer were the first to face this issue, and although they managed to resolve it, it was because Li Yifei had given the family enough benefits. Big family interests come first, so it was somewhat easier. But for ordinary people, this issue was even tougher to handle.
Furthermore, Ning Xinâer, Song Lianyao, and He Fangqing hadnât gotten their familiesâ approval yet. They were somewhat worried about this issue in their hearts. They could accept this special family, but how could their own families? They just never faced this problem directly and didnât dwell on it much. Now that Lin Qiong and Xu Yingying were dealing with it, naturally, they wanted to know how to solve it too.
"Shanshan, do you have a strategy?" Ning Xinâer asked anxiously.
Xu Shanshan lifted her head in pride, and just when everyone looked at her with expectant eyes, she giggled and said, "I havenât thought of anything yet."
"Tsk!" Everyone immediately scorned Xu Shanshan.
Xu Shanshan looked at everyone and said with a grin, "I must tell you, whether this works out or not, it all hinges on me. If you want to follow my brother-in-law, it depends on whether I can pull this off. Treating me like this doesnât seem very nice, you know."
"Sister Shan, youâre the best," Xiao Lingâer wrapped her arms around Xu Shanshanâs neck, giggling, "Come on, tell us."
"No need to butter me up; Iâm immune to that. I prefer material incentives," said Xu Shanshan.
"Alright," Ye Yunzhu laughed, "If you really sort this out, whatever you ask for, weâll all pitch in."
"Thatâs what I like to hear, Sister Yunzhu. Then just watch me," Xu Shanshan replied cheerfully.
After dinner, Xu Shanshan took Little Yifei by the hand and said, "Yifei, grandma is here, shall we go see grandma together?"
Little Yifei immediately cried out excitedly, "Yes! Yes! No kindergarten today, I can see grandma and grandpa."
Ning Xinâer was taken aback and quickly said, "Shanshan, isnât it a problem to let Yifei go at this time?"
Xu Shanshan laughed lightly and said, "Donât worry. I know my parents well. Even if they have grievances against my brother-in-law, they wouldnât take it out on a child. Plus, they really adore Yifei. With Yifei making a move, weâre halfway there."
Watching Xu Shanshan leave with Little Yifei, everyone at home felt anxious, but there wasnât much they could do. Besides, out of all those present, besides Xu Shanshan, none seemed suitable to step in. All they could do now was wait for updates from Xu Shanshan.
Xu Shanshan arrived at the hotel with Little Yifei, and as soon as she opened the door, Little Yifei rushed toward Xu Shanshanâs mother, exclaiming excitedly, "Grandma, Iâve missed you so much!"
Even if Xu Shanshanâs mother was upset, she couldnât ignore the affection from Little Yifei, whom sheâd looked after for such a long time. The bond was inseparable; she lifted Little Yifei into her arms and kissed her on the face, saying, "Oh, my sweet granddaughter, grandma has missed you too. I came specially to see you, didnât I?"
"For real? Grandma, youâre the best," Little Yifei hugged her grandmotherâs neck and planted a kiss on her cheek.
This made Xu Shanshanâs mother even happier, "My granddaughter is so good to me. Grandmaâs love for you wasnât in vain."
"Grandma, how about I take you out to play with mom today?" Little Yifei tilted her head and asked.
"Yes, letâs go. Grandma hasnât had a chance to play here yet."
With Little Yifei lightening the mood, the Xu Zhenguo Couple felt a bit better. Xu Zhenguo then pulled Xu Shanshan aside with a stern face, saying, "Do you know about your brother-in-law and Lin Qiongâs situation?"
Xu Shanshan laughed and said, "Of course, I know. You two donât need to worry about it. Whatâs meant to be ours will be ours; clinging forcefully to something thatâs not wonât help. Brother-in-law and sister know what to do in their hearts."
"I used to be quite at ease about your sister, but when it comes to matters of the heart, I am not so sure."
"Donât worry, leave it to me. I assure you I wonât let brother-in-law get away," said Xu Shanshan.
"Do you have a plan?"
"Of course, I do. If I could get my brother-in-law and sister together, I can keep them together for life," Xu Shanshan said confidently.
Looking at his daughter Xu Shanshan, Xu Zhenguo shook his head. He really wasnât sure about her handling other matters, but in this regard, it seemed that her cunning ideas were numerous. Perhaps letting her take care of this would indeed yield a better outcome.
