Chapter 468 - Stealthily
Chapter 468 of "Super Soldier in the City" begins with intriguing events: Chapter 468: Chapter 477 Stealthily"Wasnât Yiyi here?" After talking for a while, Xu Yingying suddenly... Donât miss it!
Chapter 468: Chapter 477 Stealthily"Wasnât Yiyi here?" After talking for a while, Xu Yingying suddenly asked about Su Yiyi.
Li Yifei coughed abruptly and said, "No, she knew you were coming, and she was too scared to stay."
Xu Yingying said coquettishly, "Iâm not a man-eating tiger, why is she so afraid of me?"
"You are my legitimate wife, how could she not be afraid?" Li Yifei laughed awkwardly; when discussing Su Yiyi with Xu Yingying, he always felt he lacked confidence.
"Itâs all your fault. I donât know how you charmed that girl so much. Alright then, Iâll leave so Yiyi wonât be too afraid to come back."
Li Yifei hurriedly stood up and escorted Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan downstairs.
On the path in the residential area, Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan stopped and turned to look at Li Yifei. Li Yifeiâs heart trembled; earlier, with Chu Xiaoyao present, Xu Yingying gave him face, but now was she going to make things difficult?
"Honey, when are you coming home?" Xu Yingying held Li Yifeiâs hand, her eyes filled with yearning.
Li Yifei felt a stir in his heart and said, "I donât know when Xiaoyao will recover."
"Then Iâll wait for you. Hurry back, I... miss you."
Xu Yingying could say such affectionate words, which made Li Yifeiâs heart stir even more. He stretched out his arm and hugged Xu Yingying, saying, "Yingying, my good wife."
Xu Yingying hugged Li Yifei back, but only for a short while before gently pushing him away, saying, "Alright, donât worry about things here. Iâm glad youâre okay. Oh, and if thereâs nothing to do during the day, you can go back to the company for work."
Li Yifei nodded and said, "Iâll talk to Xiaoyao and see if sheâll let me go out during the day."
Xu Yingying didnât insist, nodded, and was about to leave when Xu Shanshan pouted and said, "Brother-in-law, Iâve been worried about you too, and you didnât even hug me."
Li Yifei chuckled warmly, opened his arms generously, and said, "Come on, give me a hug."
Xu Shanshan giggled, walked over, and hugged Li Yifei, but naturally, she couldnât embrace him tightly like Xu Yingying did. She just symbolically hugged Li Yifei but she was like a little seductress; even in this simple hug, she moved her body slightly, rubbing her chest against Li Yifeiâs.
Seeing Li Yifeiâs flustered expression, Xu Shanshan giggled, winked at him mischievously, and said, "Brother-in-law, Iâm leaving. You better hurry back home. I havenât eaten the food you cooked for days, and Iâve lost weight."
Li Yifei accepted his little sister-in-lawâs antics and could only laugh, "Alright, once Iâm back, Iâll make sure you gain some weight."
He watched Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan leave, both looking back every few steps, their longing plain to see. Li Yifei really wanted to go with them, cuddle his wife lovingly, and share some flirtations with his sister-in-law.
Back home, Su Yiyi was already there. However, when Li Yifei opened the door, her face was still pale. Only when she saw Li Yifei alone did she pat her chest in relief, that look of lingering fear made Li Yifeiâs heart ache.
"Yiyi..."
Li Yifei was about to speak when Su Yiyi smiled at him and said, "Brother Li, why didnât you go back with your wife?"
Chu Xiaoyao pulled Su Yiyi aside and said angrily, "Sister Yiyi, how can you be so foolish?"
Li Yifei smiled and said, "Your sister Yiyi isnât foolish; itâs a great kind of love."
"Great love?" Chu Xiaoyao was somewhat confused and pouted, "Sister Yiyi is foolish. She could obviously make Uncle like her so much, yet she doesnât want to be the legitimate wife. Now I canât even rank as a mistress; Iâm falling to fourth or fifth place."
Li Yifei laughed heartily and teased, "This girl has no ambition; all she wants is to be a mistress. Why donât you aim to be the legitimate wife?"
Chu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes at Li Yifei and said, "If I wanted to be your wife, would you take me? Hmph, you donât even want me as a mistress. To be your wife... youâd be scared away long ago."
Li Yifei, in a good mood today, playfully patted Chu Xiaoyaoâs little bottom and said with a smile, "That might just be the case. Alright, itâs late. Letâs wash up and go to sleep."
Though Chu Xiaoyao didnât talk much more that night, Li Yifei felt her hold him tighter as if afraid he would run away. He knew Xu Yingyingâs arrival made Chu Xiaoyao anxious that he might leave her. Though this little girl seemed slightly better emotionally now, the hurt in her heart hadnât healed; she was still afraid of losing the closest person around her again.
Li Yifei could only hold her tighter, placing his hand gently on her chest to assure her he wouldnât leave, helping her slowly fall asleep.
Once Chu Xiaoyao fell soundly asleep, Li Yifei gently released her. Seeing no reaction from her and her breathing still steady, he turned softly towards Su Yiyi, hugged her into his arms, and kissed her lips.
Su Yiyi had been asleep, but Li Yifeiâs kiss quickly woke her up. She instinctively responded, but soon stopped, touching Chu Xiaoyao as she embraced Li Yifei.
"Brother Li, we canât... Xiaoyao is still here," Su Yiyi softly reminded Li Yifei.
Li Yifei whispered in return, "Sheâs asleep; itâs fine," his hand already caressing Su Yiyi.
The next day, Li Yifei went with Chu Xiaoyao to the cemetery. It had been seven days since her parents passed away. There was a custom here to visit the graves on the seventh day. Standing before her parentsâ grave, tears flowed from Chu Xiaoyaoâs eyes, while Li Yifei held her shoulder. At this moment, all he felt for Chu Xiaoyao was affection; this poor child reminded him of himself then, creating an empathetic bond in his heart.
"Dad, Mom, youâre gone, leaving me all alone. Xiaoyao really misses you... Dad, you messed around with women; if you hadnât, and lived a good life with mom, how nice it would have been. Mom, you were really heartless; no matter how bad Dad was, you could have just divorced him. Why did you have to kill him and then yourself? Didnât you think you still had a daughter?"
Though she grieved her parentsâ passing, there was a bit of resentment in Chu Xiaoyaoâs words. Both had acted too extremely. Listening to her, Li Yifei felt guilty; it was never his intention to fool around, but there were just too many women around him, he didnât know when he could resolve all these emotional entanglements.
"Mom, although I hold some resentment towards you, for setting this up, I still thank you. You know I like Uncle, having him take care of me. Uncle is really nice to me, so donât worry about me. Iâll always listen to Uncle and wonât make things difficult for him."
Li Yifei gently patted Chu Xiaoyaoâs shoulder. Though she had been a little mischievous these days, Li Yifei felt she had matured significantly. One must go through certain experiences to grow, just as he did after losing his parents and trained intensely until he was selected into the Flying Hawk Squad.
"Dad, Mom, Iâm leaving now. Rest peacefully, and if thereâs another world, I hope you continue to love each other."
Walking down the cemeteryâs path with Chu Xiaoyao, they reached a relatively narrow road. A car came speeding down from the hill, honking loudly from a distance.
Li Yifei didnât think much of it, but Chu Xiaoyao, in her bad mood, snorted, "So annoying."
Li Yifei pulled Chu Xiaoyao aside, making way for the car. Unexpectedly, the car stopped suddenly after passing, then reversed back beside them.
The car door opened, and a young man in his twenties jumped out, dressed in casual attire. Though he looked average, his clothes seemed well-made, and the car was an Audi A4, indicating he might be quite well-off.
"Xiaoyao! Itâs really you. I didnât expect to see you here," the young man exclaimed excitedly, face flushed.
Chu Xiaoyao scrutinized the young man and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
"Iâm Wu Jianye, a year ahead of you. We performed together at a school talent show."
Chu Xiaoyao seemed to not remember and smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I donât recall."
"No problem, you never noticed me back then. I kept a low profile. But weâre schoolmates. Iâm now at Capital City University, you must have finished the College Entrance Exam. Which school are you planning to attend?"
Wu Jianye mentioned Capital City University with pride, knowing itâs a renowned institution in Huaxia. Attending such a prestigious school was indeed a point of pride.
"I applied to Mile City University," Chu Xiaoyao replied plainly.
"What? Why did you choose such a school?" Wu Jianye exclaimed, then immediately felt awkward and said, "Sorry, I didnât mean to look down on Mile City University. Itâs close to home, after all. By the way, Xiaoyao, my dad gave me this car as a reward for getting into Capital City University. Want a ride?"
Chu Xiaoyao shook her head, hooked her arm around Li Yifeiâs, and said, "Not interested. Iâm going home."
Only then did Wu Jianye notice Li Yifei; in his excitement to see Chu Xiaoyao, he had overlooked the person standing beside her.
