Chapter 845: Chapter 886: Having this Husband in Her HeartXu Shanshan sighed, there was a sense of helplessness as she said, "Ah, older sis, youâre just getting mad for no reason. Your husband and Ning Xinâer had no feelings for each other in the past, otherwise he wouldnât be the irresponsible type. It was because Ning Xinâer is quite stubborn that she secretly had the child. Back then you were completely on your husbandâs side, fighting to take the child over. Now, however, youâre blaming him for being irresponsible, which is really quite something."
"Oh, so I agreed." Xu Yingying frowned.
Xu Shanshan gave her sister another look and said, "Of course you agreed. That was years ago. Itâs normal for him to have made some mistakes when he was younger. If anyone is to be blamed, itâs Ning Xinâer. But later on, Ning Xinâer treated you with a lot of respect, and everyone got along quite well."
"I actually got along well with Ning Xinâer?" Xu Yingying found this even more unbelievable. She was Li Yifeiâs wife, and Ning Xinâer was the mother of Li Yifeiâs child. Their relationship should have been hostile, but now it was supposedly good.
"Hehe, sis, Iâve noticed that since you woke up, youâve become so much more petty. But maybe thatâs not a bad thing. At least it shows that youâve now taken your husband to heart and unconsciously stepped into the role of a wife."
Xu Yingying was taken aback, then glanced over at Li Yifei. She saw him smiling tenderly at her, which caused her face to flush red. She quickly turned her head away and huffed, "Nonsense."
Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan both chuckled, making Xu Yingying feel even more embarrassed. Although she didnât feel affection for Li Yifei in her heart, she had somewhat accepted the relationship and sometimes couldnât help but assume the role of a wife.
At that moment, Xu Shanshan cheerfully said, "Older sister, stop overthinking. Itâs the Lunar New Year, letâs all be happy. As a mother, you should spend some quality time playing with your daughter. Little Yifei really missed you during the time you were unconscious."
Xu Yingying turned her gaze to Little Yifei, who was happily playing. A wave of tenderness surged in her heart as she said, "I know." She went over to join her daughter in play.
Xu Shanshan stood next to Li Yifei and nudged him gently with her elbow. "Our older sister seems to have really changed this time."
"Yeah, I feel like her personality has changed a bit too."
"Iâm a bit worried now. If she acknowledges you as her husband and doesnât recognize anyone else, what will you do?"
Li Yifei gave a wry smile and said, "If thatâs really the case, itâs going to be a big headache."
"Then youâre really doomed. See how youâll face Yunzhu and the others then."
"Letâs take it slow. I believe your sister will gradually come around."
"Hehe, thatâs going to be a long and difficult task."
"Even if itâs difficult, I have to make the effort, otherwise Iâd be letting them down."
After playing for a while, Xu Yingying, holding Little Yifei, said, "Letâs go up. Yifei is sweating. We donât want her to catch a cold."
Little Yifei pouted, "Can we play a bit longer?"
Xu Yingying replied softly, "Darling, if you catch a cold, how will you come down later to set off the fireworks?"
"Okay, letâs go up then. Iâll listen to Mommy."
"Thatâs my good girl." Xu Yingying bent down and picked up Little Yifei, exuding a motherâs tender warmth.
Li Yifei was comforted, seeing Xu Yingying and Little Yifei so close. This was certainly a good beginning.
Back at home, everyone watched the Spring Festival Gala and made dumplings together. Xu Yingying didnât retreat to her room to work, which was a great improvement over previous years. Before, all Xu Yingying cared about was work; holidays like the New Year meant nothing to her. Her improvement earned her much praise from her mother.
At eleven oâclock, everyone went downstairs to set off fireworks. Last year it was only him and Xu Shanshan, but this year Xu Yingying and Little Yifei joined. The dazzling fireworks burst in the sky, Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan both looked up, while Li Yifei watched the two of them. Their faces, lit intermittently by the fireworks, took on a special kind of beauty. These two women, the closest to him, along with his daughter clapping and laughingâeverything made Li Yifei cherish them even more. For their sake, he couldnât just seek comfort; he had to strive to strengthen and enlarge the Li family, to protect them for a lifetime.
Feeling Li Yifeiâs gaze, Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan both looked back at him. As their eyes met Li Yifeiâs, Xu Shanshanâs gaze softenedâhe could see deep affection in his eyes.
Xu Yingying felt it too, but she dared not meet Li Yifeiâs gaze. She quickly turned her head to look elsewhere, her heart pounding with a mix of shyness, fear, and a hint of sweetness.
Receiving red envelopes during the New Year greetings made Little Yifei the happiest. Sitting on the bed, she counted her money with joy. Seeing the child happy made everyone in the family even happier.
Then it was time to eat dumplings and gnaw on pig trotters, something all Huaxia people do on the eve of the Lunar New Year. Though it seems monotonous, for some people, it feels entirely different.
This year, Li Yifei had a home and an added responsibility while partaking in these activities.
After midnight, everyone was ready for bed. Xu Yingying and Li Yifei returned to their room, where things became somewhat awkward.
Li Yifei didnât want to make Xu Yingying uncomfortable and promptly grabbed a quilt, saying, "Itâs getting late; we should sleep now. Tomorrow morning, we still have to go greet others for the New Year."
Watching Li Yifei lay the quilt on the floor, Xu Yingying suddenly said, "You sleep on the bed."
"You want me to sleep on the bed?" Li Yifei asked with a hint of surprise.
Xu Yingying blurted out, flustered, "I didnât mean anything by it, donât get the wrong idea. Itâs just too cold on the floor, and itâs uncomfortable. Iâd be too cruel to let you sleep there. Thatâs why Iâm suggesting you sleep on the bed. But we will sleep separately." S~eaĘá´h the NovelĆire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Li Yifei nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, then Iâll get on the bed." He hurriedly shifted the quilt up onto the bed.
Xu Yingying glared at him and said, "Youâre grinning so wickedly and moving so fast. Are you harboring any indecent plots?"
Li Yifei chuckled, "Wife, youâre wronging me. How would I dare to entertain such thoughts? Without your consent, I would never do anything rash."
"Really?" Xu Yingying looked at him skeptically.
Li Yifei immediately raised his hand, "Wife, do I need to swear an oath?"
"No need for that, though I highly doubt your sincerity," Xu Yingying continued to watch Li Yifei warily.
Li Yifei couldnât help but smile, "Wife, after all, Iâm your husband, not some guy trying to cheat a girl."
Xu Yingying evaluated Li Yifei from head to toe, "But... I always feel like Iâm about to be duped by you."
With a woeful expression, Li Yifei asked, "Should I go back to sleeping on the floor then?"
After a moment of hesitation, Xu Yingying replied, "Iâll trust you this one time. If you dare to do anything, I wonât ever share a bed with you again."
"I absolutely wonât. Itâs not easy for me to finally be able to sleep in a bed. Considering my future happiness, I resolutely wonât do anything rash."
Xu Yingying then remembered that Li Yifei had been sleeping on the sofa at home since the day she woke up. It really wasnât fair for him, but he never complained. This husband of hers seemed quite decent, and she also felt a sense of guilt. After all, he was her husband, wasnât he?
The lights off, Xu Yingying got into bed but stayed at the edge, not daring to get too close to Li Yifei. She was even more nervous inside. Sharing a bed with a man was truly strange to her, and she worried that Li Yifei might suddenly do something, especially since he was her legal husband. Even if he did something, it would be entirely normal.
What could she do if Li Yifei tried something now? Resist and cry out? That wouldnât work either; it would wake up her parents and let them know the two were arguing over such matters. They would be very worried. Having a wife that doesnât let her husband touch her would surely be a sign of a significant issue in their marriage.
But should she just let Li Yifei have his way? She wasnât prepared for that. Even if they had been intimate before, she hadnât genuinely fallen for Li Yifei yet, and the thought of being with him in that way was something she couldnât accept.
Xu Yingying was in a dilemma, not knowing what she would do if Li Yifei really made a move. Instinctively, all she could do was keep a nervous watch for his reactions.
But Li Yifei lay there properly all along, showing no signs of invading her space, which gradually helped her relax. Besides, it was getting very late, and she was close to falling asleep.
Suddenly, she became alert again. What if Li Yifei took advantage of her slumber to try something?
"I canât sleep; I canât sleep; I must wait until heâs asleep before I can allow myself to sleep."
Li Yifei had managed not to act inappropriately during this time, not even with Xu Shanshan, so heâd been leading a celibate lifestyle. As a normal and exceptionally vigorous man, to say he didnât have desires would be nonsense. His wife was lying beside him, and he couldnât even touch her; this was torture for him.
Feeling Xu Yingyingâs tension and vigilance, Li Yifei knew this was not an opportunity to break through the barriers in their relationship. Although he desired to embrace Xu Shanshan, if only for a bit of satisfaction, he dismissed the thought and forced himself into sleep mode, soon drifting into dreams.
