What happens in Chapter 1041 of "Super Soldier in the City"? Chapter 1041: Chapter 1084: Private Conversation"Dad, Uncle Lin, I raise this glass to you both.... Read on to find out!
Chapter 1041: Chapter 1084: Private Conversation"Dad, Uncle Lin, I raise this glass to you both. Without your understanding, I wouldnât be able to be with Yingying and Qiongqiong."
In the luxurious dining room, the table was laden with delicious dishes, prepared by top-notch chefs using the finest ingredients. The family sat together, creating such a warm atmosphere that Li Yifei picked up his glass and first toasted Xu Zhenguo and Lin Qiongâs father.
Xu Zhenguo chuckled and said, "Yifei, you must be fair with your attention; showing favoritism as soon as you start off isnât good."
Li Yifei immediately caught on and hurriedly said apologetically to Lin Qiongâs father, "Uncle Lin, I guess Iâll switch over today, then. I hope you donât have any objections?"
Lin Qiongâs father laughed heartily and said, "I have no objections, but this does seem a bit hasty. I didnât even have time to prepare a meeting gift."
"As long as you accept me as your son-in-law, thatâs enough. What greater gift could there be than giving your daughter to me? To both dads, I raise this glass."
Xu Zhenguo and Lin Qiongâs father both picked up their glasses, filled with fine Maotai, and drank with a hearty laugh, especially Lin Qiongâs father, who was called dad by Li Yifei for the first timeâand it felt pretty good.
Li Yifei poured another glass and said to Lin Qiong and Xu Yingyingâs mothers, "To both moms, I raise this glass to you, thanking you for entrusting me with your daughters, whom youâve raised for so many years. I will definitely treat them well, care for them more attentively than even you did, and ensure they have a better life."
Both Xu Yingying and Lin Qiongâs mothers picked up their glasses, smiles on their faces. Indeed, seeing Li Yifei sitting between Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong didnât seem so out of place anymore, especially with both girls smiling like flowersâyou could tell they were truly happy. And their mothers couldnât have any complaints either.
"With that statement from you, Yifei, I can rest easy," said Lin Qiongâs mother first.
Xu Yingyingâs mother added, "Yifei, from now on, if you make any mistakes, you wonât just have Yingyingâs dad and me to faceâweâll also have Lin Qiongâs parents to deal with you."
"Yes, yes..." Li Yifei quickly agreed, knowing full well that he would continue to make mistakes in the future, but he was confident that no issue was too big to handle.
After making the rounds with toasts and enjoying some dishes, Lin Qiong raised her glass towards the Xu Zhenguo couple and said, "Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, Iâm truly grateful to both of you."
Her words carried an unspoken understanding, as Xu Yingyingâs parents, in a way, had made sacrificesâsharing their would-be son-in-law with Lin Qiong.
"Little Qiong, no need to overthink this. From now on, weâre all one family, and as a family, we should act accordingly. Itâs improper to speak like an outsider," Xu Zhenguo said cheerfully, raising his glass and then drinking it in one gulp.
Xu Yingyingâs mother smiled and said, "Little Qiong, my husband is right. From here on out, youâre just like Shanshan, Yingyingâs good sister. And just like to her, Iâll be like your mother. If you need anything, just tell me, and Iâll sort it out for you."
"Mhm mhm," Lin Qiong replied, her eyes slightly reddening as she emptied her glass.
At that point, Xu Yingying also raised her glass and smilingly said to Lin Qiongâs parents, "Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, I will treat you just like my own parents from now on."
"Thatâs great, good child," Lin Qiongâs parents nodded repeatedly. Seeing how well Xu Yingying treated Lin Qiong, they knew she would be well taken care of, and unlike a âmistressâ, Lin Qiong would even get to marry Li Yifei one day. Their gratitude towards Xu Yingying was significant, but such things neednât be said out loud.
The meal that followed was exceptionally joyful. Xu Zhenguo and Lin Qiongâs father chatted about their children, the past, and the future, clearly enjoying themselves immensely. They drank quite a bit but remained sober, with Li Yifei accompanying them. He was extremely excited; this vexing issue was resolved, and he knew their home would only get better and better.
After the meal, Xu Yingying and Lin Qiongâs mothers went to look at villas again, this time accompanied by Lin Qiong and Xu Yingying. With everyone voicing their opinions, it was even more enjoyable.
The mothers quietly observed Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong too, to see if their relationship was genuinely harmonious. As it turned out, the two women were like true sisters, always smiling and even whispering in each otherâs ears from time to time during their chatsâa level of comfort that couldnât be faked.
Seeing Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong like this, both mothers were truly reassured. Even if the situation was somewhat absurd, handling it well was far better than resorting to conflicts that exhausted everyone.
Without planning, Xu Yingying found herself with her mother in one room, while Lin Qiong and her mother were in another. Xu Shanshan, meanwhile, had stepped back after achieving satisfaction with Li Yifei earlier, and having lost interest in house-hunting, soon rejoined Li Yifei and the others.
"Yingying, how can you be willing to share your good husband with Lin Qiong?" Xu Yingyingâs mother still couldnât fathom this matter.
Xu Yingying complained, "Here you go again. Do you really have to witness some conflict between us?"
"Of course not, but having two women with one man, Mom always feels itâs a bit odd. How could you not bicker?"
"Whatâs there to bicker about?"
"But thereâs plenty to bicker about, like if Yifei is nicer to one of you than the other, or if heâs playing favorites, or... who heâs with at night."
Xu Yingyingâs face turned red, and she scolded, "Mom, why do you have to say everything?"
"Whatâs the big deal? Iâm your mother, and youâre all married people now. Youâve also been with Yifei for so long, whatâs there not to say? Besides, this matter is quite important. So many men cheat because they are unfulfilled in this aspect. Oh my, is that why Yifei ended up with Lin Qiong?"
Xu Yingying, both embarrassed and awkward, still managed to say with a blush, "Thatâs not it, but... Yifei is just so strong, I couldnât handle it alone. With Lin Qiong moving in, itâs been much better for us."
"Thatâs true. Yifei may not look very muscular, but as an ex-special forces soldier with such great skill, his stamina must be excellent. Itâs normal that heâs stronger in this respect."
"Alright, alright, stop asking non-stop. Just know that we are very happy together."
"You, child, doesnât Mom worry about you?" Xu Yingying shot her daughter a glance but then stopped probing and went back to exploring the room.
At this time, Lin Qiong faced the same awkwardness as Xu Yingying. Her mother asked all sorts of questions until she too reached the topic of their intimate life, though her approach was different from Xu Yingyingâs mother.
"Little Qiong, when youâre all together, Yifei isnât neglecting you, is he?"
Lin Qiong was more straightforward than Xu Yingying and replied, "Not at all, weâre together every day."
"I mean that kind of thing, you know, at bedtime, does Yifei spend more time with Yingying or with you?"
"All three of us share one bed, so tell me who has more or less." Lin Qiong had long been annoyed by her motherâs questioning but patiently replied with a dominant air.
"All three of you in one bed every day?" Lin Qiongâs motherâs eyes widened in shock.
"Yes, since Yifei is so strong, one person canât handle it, so the two of us manage together. Now you donât need to worry about who gets more or less, right? Mom, weâre doing great together, but you keep worrying. Itâs better if you donât meddle in our affairs too much. Otherwise, if your words cause Yingying and me to have a conflict, would you be happy to see that?"
Lin Qiongâs mother rolled her eyes, "Iâm only thinking of your best interests."
"I know you mean well, but meddling too much can make things worse. Think about it, when you were young, grandma used to interfere in our family matters so much that it made you angry many times. Now here you are doing the same."
"How can it be the same? Daughters and sons are different." Lin Qiongâs mother gave her a stern look, but Lin Qiongâs words did serve as a reminder. Meddling too much in her daughterâs marital life wasnât a good thing. As parents, they should help resolve problems only when their daughter faced them. It was better to let the couple handle their matters themselves.
Xu Shanshan was now sitting beside Li Yifei, pouring drinks for the two older men and Li Yifei. Lin Qiongâs father praised continually, "Old Xu, your daughter is wonderful, so sensible. Having two daughters like this, youâre truly fortunate."
Xu Zhenguo laughed heartily, "Now we are all one family. My daughters are also your daughters. Come on, drink up!"
Xu Shanshan sat down with a smile, appearing very proper, but one of her hands was already on Li Yifeiâs thigh, gently caressing, especially making sure to nudge closer to the base of his thigh now and then.
Although she didnât dare to be too bold in front of their parents, while they were all happily drinking, she could engage in some subtle actions under the table. Besides, he was always keen on such things, ready to take any opportunity for a bit of mischief.
Watching Li Yifeiâs simultaneous excitement and discomfort, unable to move freely, brought a secret thrill to Xu Shanshan. It seemed this girl had a special fondness for sneaky touches, enjoying the thrill of covert activities with Li Yifei in front of others. Without an audience, she probably wouldnât be so excited.
