Chapter 1149: Chapter 1195: RefusalfÉžeewebnoveâ.coŕšLin Qiong is a woman with a strong personality. Even being with Li Yifei, and even if she did nothing for the rest of her life, she could still live in luxury. Yet, she did not become an appendage of Li Yifei. She remained true to herself and still loved being a police officer, with her initial intentions unchanged.
Li Yifei did not dislike Lin Qiong being like this. He was somewhat chauvinistic and wanted his woman to live happily under his care. However, those who liked living that way, he welcomed, but he also supported those who wanted their own independent lives. He couldnât let these women revolve around him just because they were with him.
Just like Xu Shanshan, even when she went to do dangerous things, Li Yifei didnât stop her. Lin Qiong was just working harder in the career she loved, so naturally, Li Yifei fully supported her.
The next day after breakfast, Li Yifei said to Jiang Ningxiang, "Ningxiang, let Yiyi take you and your classmates out to play today."
Jiang Ningxiang immediately said excitedly, "Okay."
"Alright, Iâll wait for you in my room," Li Yifei said and left.
Jiang Ningxiang walked out of the dining room with a few classmates, and a girl teased Jiang Ningxiang ambiguously, "Ningxiang, during the daytime... hehe..."
Jiang Ningxiangâs face turned red, and she retorted, "Donât get the wrong idea! Brother Li has things he needs me to do."
"Yeah, you two doing things together."
"Be careful not to get pregnant."
The girls, around eighteen or nineteen years old, joked without reservations in the absence of others.
Jiang Ningxiang retorted, "You guys really, I wonât bother with you anymore, just have fun. I wonât have time to play with you these next few days."
"Go ahead, we support you."
Jiang Ningxiang, unbothered by her classmatesâ teasing, excitedly went to the villa where Li Yifei was staying.
"You seem happy," Li Yifei, sitting on the living room sofa, asked Jiang Ningxiang with a smile.
Jiang Ningxiang replied sweetly, "Iâm just happy thinking that Iâll be able to help Brother Li with many things and not be a weak little girl anymore."
Li Yifei replied with a smile, "Then letâs begin."
Today, Jiang Ningxiangâs learning pace was about the same as last night; for almost half a day, she could only feel the True Qi within her, but was clearly far from controlling it.
At noon, Li Yifei told her to stop, and Jiang Ningxiang pouted, "Brother Li, am I too dumb?"
Li Yifei smiled, "Not really, if you can feel it today, it wonât be long before you can control it."
"But I heard you say, Sister Shanshan mastered it very quickly, so I must be really dumb for being so slow."
Li Yifei consoled her, "Martial arts is indeed related to talent, but itâs even more connected to the effort put in afterward. Like in our troops, some people arenât naturally talented, but because of their efforts, they still excel."
Jiang Ningxiang clenched her small fists, "Brother Li, donât worry, I will try very hard. Iâll master it soon and wonât embarrass you, so I can start helping you with things."
"Silly girl, I donât need you to do anything now, just focus on your learning," Li Yifei said and reached toward Jiang Ningxiangâs head in a loving gesture, devoid of any other intention.
Jiang Ningxiangâs body instinctively flinched backward very fast, evading Li Yifeiâs hand, which startled him, followed by some embarrassment. He clarified, "Ningxiang, donât overthink it, I didnât mean anything else."
Jiang Ningxiang, somewhat flustered, explained, "Brother Li, I... I didnât mean to dodge. It... itâs like an instinctive reaction, I... I was bullied when I was young, so I... just react like this."
"Bullied?" Li Yifei frowned.
Jiang Ningxiang fiddled with the hem of her clothes and said softly, "Yes, when I was fourteen, a neighbor always patted my head, praising me for being smart and pretty, and since we were familiar, I thought he was complimenting me and didnât mind his touches. But one time, when I was home alone, after patting my head, he tried... to bully me. I struggled desperately, and he didnât succeed, but since then, anyone touching my head would trigger my instinctive rejection."
Upon hearing this, Li Yifei apologized, "Iâm sorry, I didnât know. But you know Iâm not some weird uncle."
Jiang Ningxiang quickly said, "I know, Brother Li truly cares for me, and besides, Brother Li, you wouldnât oppress me like that given how beautiful your sisters-in-law are."
Li Yifei chuckled, "Itâs good that you trust me. Iâll be more cautious in the future. Now, letâs go out for a meal."
As they walked out, Jiang Ningxiang walked slowly. Li Yifei stopped and asked, "Ningxiang, whatâs wrong?"
"Brother Li..." Jiang Ningxiang bit her lips, "Brother Li, were you angry just now?"
Li Yifei smiled and said, "No, Iâm not that petty."
"Really?"
"Of course, silly girl, letâs go now."
"Brother Li, you are so kind." Jiang Ningxiangâs face bloomed into a smile, then she cheerfully followed Li Yifei into the courtyard.
During the weekend, Li Yifei was carefully training Jiang Ningxiang, but her progress was slow, which made Li Yifei somewhat anxious. On Sunday, Li Yifei said to Jiang Ningxiang, "Ningxiang, I have an idea, what do you think?"
"Brother Li, Iâll listen to whatever you say."
"I think you should not stay at the school dormitory for a while. In the evenings, you can come and stay here, and during the day when you have school, Iâll arrange for a driver to pick you up and drop you off."
"Really? That means you can teach me every day?"
"Yes, I also want you to master this Innate Vital Energy soon, otherwise it feels like a waste."
Jiang Ningxiang smiled sweetly, "Okay, Iâll come here every day from now on. My classmates will be so jealous."
Li Yifei chuckled, "Brother Li now makes you a promise, if you always help Brother Li, this place will be your home."
"Ah!" Jiang Ningxiangâs face suddenly blushed.
Li Yifei rubbed his nose, realizing Jiang Ningxiang had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "I didnât mean it that way. Look, we have Shanshan, Xiaofei, and also Mengfei who all live here frequently. What I mean is, you will be just like them."
Jiang Ningxiang stuck out her tongue shyly and said, "Brother Li, you really scared me, I thought you..."
"Hehe, do you think Brother Li is that kind of person?"
"I know Brother Li is not... but... still so many sisters-in-law."
"Youâre getting mischievous now."
Li Yifei is now increasingly fond of Jiang Ningxiang, and her attitude also pleases him a lot. If such a gem were taken by someone else, he would regret it immensely.
The two people he encountered that day, the investigation results came out. The film company indeed had two people by those names, but the photos were absolutely not of the two people Li Yifei saw. Obviously, those two were just impersonating the identities of the two from the company.
These two were even more mysterious, making Li Yifei uneasy. After thinking, he called Old Master Su. The old man was clearly busy and didnât pick up immediately, calling Li Yifei back in the evening.
"Kid, whatâs up?"
"I just wanted to have a chat."
"Donât flatter me, I know you; would you even remember me if you didnât want something?"
"Hehe, I do need a favor actually."
"I knew it. Letâs hear it, this must be no small matter."
"Itâs like this, I want to meet the expert we saw that day at the senior officialâs place. Can you arrange it?"
"You want to see him? What for?"
Li Yifei straightened his attitude and said seriously, "Grandpa, there are some things about kung fu that I donât understand, and Iâd like to seek his guidance."
"I see... I canât promise anything, but I will inquire for you, and Iâll call you whether it works out or not."
Li Yifei eagerly said, "Great, Iâll be counting on you grandpa. I believe with you handling it, success is certain."
The old man then seriously said, "Donât butter me up. Actually, I canât guarantee this. Those people are very idiosyncratic; even my influence might not sway them, so I can only try and ask."
"Alright then, but I still hope it works out. This is about the development of the Li family, as Iâve noticed some adversaries with incredibly high skill levels. If I donât figure it out, Iâm afraid Iâll sooner or later fall to their hands."
"Naughty boy, itâs not that grim. Alright, Iâll handle this quickly. Besides, if you have time, bring Mengxin back for a visit; you whisked away my granddaughter, and I havenât been able to see her often."
"Sure, Iâll take her to visit you soon."
For this matter, Li Yifei took it very seriously. He now needed to better understand experts in Innate Vital Energy. Xu Shanshan was such an expert, but even she didnât understand it herself, whereas those hidden super experts might, and understanding from them could better equipping Li Yifei to deal with such formidable foes. He might even help enhance Xu Shanshan in the process.
