Chapter 435 - 442

Chapter 435: 442Su Mengxin did not speak. Ever since Ning Xin’er mentioned this child and saw Xu Yingying, she knew Ning Xin’er would make such a request.

Xu Yingying’s face instantly turned pale. She turned her head to look at Li Yifei. Being married to him, she had always felt very happy, and she realized that she had truly fallen in love with Li Yifei. But who would have expected such a thing to happen?

If it had only been that Ning Xin’er had a relationship with Li Yifei, Xu Yingying could handle that. But since Ning Xin’er had already given birth to Li Yifei’s child, it would be entirely normal for Li Yifei to divorce her out of responsibility, and then marry Ning Xin’er.

"Impossible!" But Li Yifei was very resolute, he shook his head and said, "Ning Xin’er, that’s absolutely impossible. I’m already married. I cannot leave Yingying to marry you."

A fierce light flashed in Ning Xin’er’s eyes. She said, "Your love seems quite deep. However, if you don’t agree, you can forget about ever seeing your daughter. You’ll never get to see her for the rest of your life."

Li Yifei took a deep breath and said, "Ning Xin’er, I don’t blame you for hating me..."

"What right do you have to blame me?"

"Yes! I have no right. Whatever you do to me, I will accept, but you can’t treat our child like this!" Li Yifei also grew angry, his voice rising, almost as if he was shouting.

"What’s wrong? Are you angry?" Ning Xin’er suddenly began to chuckle, laughing for a while until she said, "You have two choices: either marry me to have the child, or you don’t even have to think about seeing the child."

"Fine, then you can leave. I will find my child." Li Yifei’s voice turned cold, and the look he gave Ning Xin’er was filled with killing intent. Ning Xin’er’s actions had made him completely furious. At this moment, he felt no guilt towards Ning Xin’er, only hatred.

"Do you think you can find her? Keep on dreaming. Not just you, even if Su Mengxin tries, it would be absolutely impossible to find my child." Ning Xin’er sneered.

Li Yifei suddenly stood up, grabbed Ning Xin’er by the collar, and lifted her up, hissing through clenched teeth, "You wicked woman, do you believe I could kill you?"

"Go ahead, then kill me. You’ve already ruined me once; living is suffering for me. Killing me will finally give me peace." Ning Xin’er forced out these words, her face turning beet red. seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Su Mengxin quickly grabbed Li Yifei’s hand, and Xu Yingying, also frightened, pulled on Li Yifei’s arm.

"Husband, don’t be impulsive!"

"Yifei, calm down."

Li Yifei and Ning Xin’er stared each other down, Li Yifei not letting go, and Ning Xin’er showing no hint of fear in her eyes. As their gazes clashed, it was almost as if sparks were flying.

"Husband! Let go!" Xu Yingying suddenly shouted, slapping Li Yifei hard on the shoulder.

Li Yifei’s body shook, and his grip gradually loosened. Ning Xin’er promptly sat back down in the chair, coughing several times, but even as she coughed, she chuckled with tears streaming down her face, "Li Yifei, do you really hate me that much? I’m so happy. At least I can make you hate me, rather than you just walking away, haha... cough cough... I’m really happy, truly happy."

Seeing Ning Xin’er cry and laugh like this, both Su Mengxin and Xu Yingying felt somewhat sympathetic. This woman, even if her methods were extreme, was still quite pitiable. Su Mengxin patted Ning Xin’er on the back, saying, "Ning Xin’er, it’s all in the past. Let’s discuss this properly. Hatred won’t solve anything."

Ning Xin’er wiped her tears and suddenly screamed almost hysterically, "Hatred won’t solve anything, but I’ve been looking for this guy for so many years just to tell him, even though I may hate him, I like him. That’s why, no matter how difficult, I wanted to have his child. But what about him?" Ning Xin’er pointed at Li Yifei, shouting furiously, "He’s already married now. What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do? Tell me?"

Ning Xin’er’s outburst and demands to Li Yifei, even the revelation of having a child, did not shock everyone quite as much as these words did. Love runs deep, as does hatred. Ning Xin’er might’ve been unconventional, but it all stemmed from her liking Li Yifei. Suddenly, her actions seemed explainable.

The one most affected was Xu Yingying. She was prepared to face with Li Yifei whatever Ning Xin’er hated about him. But to her surprise, Ning Xin’er’s endgame was her liking for Li Yifei, leaving Xu Yingying unsure of what to do, especially since Ning Xin’er had also borne Li Yifei’s child.

Li Yifei’s face twitched. He had not expected Ning Xin’er to actually like him. During their time together, they had always been fighting and bickering. Ning Xin’er used every trick in the book to tease him, and he always thought of her as a little witch, a woman who was scary to even look at.

But thinking about it now, Ning Xin’er wasn’t very old back then. If she was expressing love in her own way, it was just like how little boys act naughty and troublesome towards girls they like, specifically to annoy them. Li Yifei had done this himself when he was in middle and high school. He just never thought that what usually boys did, a girl like Ning Xin’er could do as well.

And then there was the time he impulsively got involved with Ning Xin’er. Even though she resisted at first, she soon became very accomodating. If she really despised him, Ning Xin’er could have just yelled out, and he would have been doomed.

After the fact, Ning Xin’er, although she’d constantly sought trouble with him and tormented him considerably, this woman seemed to always occasionally tempt him. At that time, because he felt guilty, he’d been ignoring it, but now, giving it some thought, he suddenly understood Ning Xin’er’s feelings.

"Xin’er... I..." Li Yifei’s voice suddenly became hoarse.

"Don’t call me that, you’re a married man. Why do you still call me like that? Li Yifei, I hate you, I’ll hate you for the rest of my life." Ning Xin’er shouted, then suddenly turned around and rushed out of the office.

Although Michelle had left Li Yifei’s office, she was still watching at the door, fending off several people who had attempted to enter Li Yifei’s office in just that short time.

At this moment, the chubby Chen Xingrui was pestering Michelle to get in, but Michelle resolutely refused, leaving Chen Xingrui quite frustrated.

Ning Xin’er burst out, startling both Michelle and Chen Xingrui, but Ning Xin’er ran so fast that in the blink of an eye, she’d already disappeared without a trace.

"No way, our Manager Li is too ruthless, isn’t he? I wonder which woman he has bullied?" Chen Xingrui could tell that the woman wasn’t Su Mengxin, but a woman running out of Li Yifei’s office made Chen Xingrui think crooked thoughts.

"Don’t talk nonsense, or you’ll be sorry." Michelle glared at Chen Xingrui, her heart, however, was tumultuous as she naturally recognized the fleeing figure to be Ning Xin’er, clueless about the situation.

The door was open at this point, and Michelle saw Li Yifei sitting in the boss chair, with Xu Yingying standing by his side, while Su Mengxin stood with her back to the door, next to the office desk. Judging from the expressions on Li Yifei and Xu Yingying’s faces, both looked quite awful.

This made Michelle very worried, not knowing whether Xu Yingying would lose her temper with Li Yifei or if it would affect their marriage.

"What happened here? Why is President Xu here too?" Chen Xingrui peeked inside, his face full of confusion.

"Get out!" Michelle pushed Chen Xingrui away, then quickly closed the office door.

Su Mengxin and Xu Yingying looked at each other in dismay, while Li Yifei sat there in a daze; none of them had expected the situation to have turned out like this.

The sound of Michelle closing the door snapped the three back to reality. Li Yifei exhaled deeply, Xu Yingying sighed, and at her sigh, Li Yifei immediately brought his thoughts back to the present. Ning Xin’er had arrived, and his wife Xu Yingying was there—how could Xu Yingying not be affected by this?

"Yingying!" Li Yifei turned his head to look at Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying forced a smile and said, "I’m sorry, my mind is a bit of a mess right now, I need some quiet." And with that, she walked out with a blank expression.

Li Yifei opened his mouth but ultimately did not call out to Xu Yingying—there was simply no way for him to explain the situation.

Su Mengxin closed the door and poured a glass of water for Li Yifei, saying with a wry smile, "I really didn’t expect Ning Xin’er to be so strong-willed."

Li Yifei downed the glass of water in one gulp, took a deep breath to calm himself, and furrowed his brows, "Do you think what Ning Xin’er said is true?"

Su Mengxin hesitated for a moment, then said, "I feel that she probably did have a child. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have a scar on her stomach. But whether the child survived, I can’t be sure."

Li Yifei nodded, "I have my doubts about this too. If this child was really still around, Ning Xin’er wouldn’t have the energy to muddle through the entertainment industry. I don’t quite believe she’d just give the child away."

Su Mengxin’s fingers lightly tapped the desktop, "Then I’ll investigate it for you later, it’s not convenient for you."

Li Yifei gratefully said, "Then I’ll have to trouble you."

"Why be so polite with me, but... regardless of whether the child is still here or not, that’s not the urgent issue we need to face. The main issue now is Yingying. The impact of this affair on Yingying will definitely not be small. Whether or not you can get Yingying to tolerate this matter is the most important thing."

Li Yifei sighed deeply, with no certainty at all about this matter.
