Chapter 853: Chapter 894: Husband Kisses WifeThe next morning, Li Yifei and Ning Xinâer brought Little Yifei back to Mile City. With that, the New Year celebrations were pretty much over. They could rest for another day tomorrow, but the day after, it would be back to normal work.
Ning Xinâer didnât head straight home. Instead, she wanted to stop by Li Yifeiâs place for a while to talk to Xu Yingying, to prevent any misunderstandings from forming in her heart.
"Thank you for this, youâve really helped me out," Xu Yingying said as she invited Ning Xinâer to sit down, with the air of a lady of the house.
Ning Xinâer gave a small smile and said, "Donât mention it, itâs really no big deal. As long as youâre not overthinking it, thatâs good. I was already in bed last night and half-asleep when I heard Yifei talking to you on the phone."
Xu Yingyingâs face flushed red, but she quickly covered it up, saying, "I just had some idle matter to discuss with him, itâs not that I donât trust you guys."
Ning Xinâer laughingly said, "Itâs normal not to trust. I mean, Yifei and I do have a child together. Anyone in your place, knowing that I slept in the same room as him, would have thoughts.
Xu Yingying coughed lightly and said, "Iâm not that petty of a woman, and men like that really arenât worth much. If you want to get back with him, you donât have to be courteous with me about it."
Ning Xinâer laughed, "Iâll pass on that, thanks. Iâm truly out of his heart; I wouldnât be able to win him back even if I tried. If it wasnât for our daughter, I wouldnât bother putting up with his cold looks for no reason."
Xu Yingying listened and felt quite at ease. Her hostility towards Ning Xinâer lessened quite a bit as she said, "Mm-hmm, everythingâs for our daughter. Feel free to come over more often; sheâs happy to be with you."
"That would be inappropriate; if I ever caused you and your husband to fight, then Iâd feel terribly guilty."
With Ning Xinâer using this tactic of retreating to advance, Xu Yingying, who would normally spot such a tactic in business, was now easily fooled in matters of the heart. She hurriedly said, "Thereâs no such thing, I trust you. Itâs right for you to come over whenever. If you donât, then Iâll have to pick a bone with you."
Ning Xinâer almost let slip that they should all move back into the big family house, but thankfully realized that broaching such a topic now would be rushing it and merely nodded, saying, "Then Iâll take you up on that offer and come bother you when Iâm free. I just hope you wonât find me annoying."
Xu Yingying waved her hand generously and said, "Absolutely not, feel free to come over anytime."
Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan were chuckling on the side. They felt that Xu Yingying was really inviting the wolf into the den by doing this, but of course, neither of them would point it out, as it was a matter that would benefit everyone.
Ning Xinâer did not stay too long before she left. Xu Yingying turned to Li Yifei, pretending nothing had happened, and said, "You must have had a good time visiting the relatives, huh?"
Li Yifei grinned and said, "Of course, theyâre all the relatives I have. Seeing them puts me in a great mood. Oh, and I told my cousin that youâre my wife. I asked him to talk to the family, and we will visit them together during the Lantern Festival."
"What... what? How... how can we do that?" Xu Yingyingâs eyes widened in panic.
"Whatâs wrong with that? You are my wife, and I canât keep hiding it forever. That would be too unfair to you. Itâs better to let them know sooner, even if itâs hard for them to accept at first, rather than them finding out later on."
Xu Yingying stammered, "But... thatâs not such a good idea. Your family would think youâre being reckless."
"Itâs fine. For my wife, even if I get scolded by them, itâs worth it. Most importantly, I can now bring my wife home openly."
"You..." Xu Yingying felt moved, yet still stubbornly said, "I... I havenât agreed to truly be your wife yet."
Li Yifei reached out and took Xu Yingyingâs hand. She struggled a little in a fluster, while Xu Shanshan cheerfully said, "Yifei, letâs go play in the room."
"Sure!" Little Yifei responded, and ran off to the room with Xu Shanshan.
Xu Yingyingâs cheeks turned a rosy red and she twisted slightly, trying to pull her hand back gently, shyly saying, "Let go, Shanshan and the daughter saw us, itâs not a good look."
Li Yifei held onto Xu Yingyingâs hands firmly, gazing intently into her eyes with a tender look, and said, "Wife, you look really beautiful like this."
"I... You canât use words like that to make me happy."
Li Yifei earnestly said, "How is this just to make you happy? Havenât you heard others say youâre beautiful?"
"Others are others, you are you, and this is just sweet talk."
Li Yifei grinned and said, "If a husband canât even say sweet nothings to his wife, then how can he make her happy?"
Xu Yingying bit her lip and said, "How am I supposed to know if youâre for real or not."
"Well, youâll see over time. We have a whole lifetime ahead of us. I have the patience to wait until you truly fall for me. Even if you canât remember the past for the rest of your life, youâll still believe that marrying me is the wisest choice youâve ever made."
Xu Yingying spat at Li Yifei jokingly and scolded, "Keep dreaming; I havenât seen any of your good points yet, just a whole bunch of flaws." But her face already wore a seductive smile.
Li Yifei, seeing Xu Yingying like that, couldnât hold back. He pulled Xu Yingyingâs hand, and she involuntarily leaned into Li Yifeiâs embrace, while Li Yifeiâs lips landed on Xu Yingyingâs forehead.
"Ah!" Xu Yingying tensed up instantly, then fiercely pushed Li Yifei away and jumped up, her face flushed, she scolded, "You jerk, taking advantage of me."
"Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry, I couldnât help myself." Li Yifei immediately admitted he was wrong and said, "I promise it wonât happen again, unless you agree."
"You big hooligan." Xu Yingying spat at Li Yifei and dashed into the bedroom.
Seeing Xu Yingying like this, Li Yifei couldnât help but smirk. She wasnât really angry, it was just a girlâs shyness. In Xu Yingyingâs heart, she probably was a girl who had never been in love. Even a kiss on the forehead was quite an intimate act for her, and feeling overwhelmed by it in the moment was perfectly normal.
At this moment, the phone rang. It was Koboto Kobayashi calling. Li Yifei went out to the balcony before answering.
"Mr. Golden Eagle, the task you gave me is already taken care of."
"Thank you, President Koboto." Li Yifei was also quite polite in his response.
"Mr. Golden Eagle is too polite. Iâll naturally take care of what I promised. I hope we can have even better cooperation in the future."
"That would be good."
"However, you also know that this item is too sensitive. I can only place it somewhere and dare not use our people to deliver it to you. If someone discovers that we did this, it would be a devastating blow for us."
"I understand. Just tell me the address, and I will arrange for someone to retrieve the item."
Koboto Kobayashi promptly gave Li Yifei the address, pointing out nearby significant landmarks, exchanged a few more pleasantries, then hung up.
Li Yifei ended the call and turned to face Xu Yingying who was standing behind him with a look of surprise, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You can speak Japanese? And youâre so fluent?" Xu Yingying eyed Li Yifei as if she didnât recognize him.
Li Yifei proudly waggled his phone and declared, "Your husband can speak eight languages; Japan is no big deal."
"Eight, pfft, you donât even draft your boasts." Xu Yingying rolled her eyes disdainfully, then curiously asked, "The person you were in contact with is Japanese?"
"Yep, I have a mission that requires assistance from someone in Japan. Iâll be heading out again in the next few days."
"Going out again? Will it be dangerous?" Xu Yingyingâs brow furrowed.
Li Yifei smiled slightly, "Wife is getting more and more concerned about me."
"Stop it, be serious. I get the feeling youâre not up to any good. Let me tell you, if youâre doing anything illegal or disorderly, Iâll kick you to the curb myself."
"Donât worry, Iâm doing good things, things that are beneficial for the country and the people."
"Sure, how impressive." Xu Yingying still didnât believe him.
Li Yifei let out a chuckle, "Whether you believe it or not doesnât matter, but I really canât tell you about this. It involves very sensitive matters."
"Something so secretive?"
"Yeah, itâs a national task; I have to do it. Iâll just be gone for a few days and will be back soon."
"Stay as long as you like, why are you telling me? The house is much quieter without you." Xu Yingying tossed her head and then turned, marching out from the balcony, chest out.
Li Yifei watched Xu Yingying strut like a proud little hen and a bright smile appeared on his face. His wife was actually quite entertaining.
Because the matter was of great importance and it was inconvenient to involve other people or departments, Li Yifei decided to go himself. He wasnât aimless like before; he needed recognition from the national authorities, a strong backing, and such acceptance couldnât be gained just on the merits of past military service or personal connections. He had to make significant contributions to the country to gain real influence.
Retrieving the item himself would show that he had the most contribution in the task â and that credit he needed.
This time, Li Yifei didnât go alone; he took Sophia with him. For a task like this, it was best to have few people involved, and having Sophia, a top-notch expert, was more than enough.
Sophia, this woman, had an almost unparalleled loyalty to Li Yifei now. Whatever Li Yifei said was the law for her. A strong person, once they truly submit to someone else, their loyalty is beyond imagination, and Sophia was exactly this kind of person.
