Chapter 890: Chapter 931 Displaying TalentLi Yifei had no choice but to hurry up his shower. If Zheng Yuling came back, it would get even more difficult for him. Swiftly washing his hair and rinsing off the foam, Li Yifei wrapped himself in a bath towel, finally feeling a bit settled.
He cautiously listened for any noise outside. Once he was sure no one was around, Li Yifei then went back to Su Mengxinâs bedroom.
This time, Li Yifei hadnât brought any clothes, but Su Mengxin had prepared some for him. He found a pair of underwear and changed into pajamas. Instead of going downstairs, he went straight to bed. He wanted to avoid meeting Xiao Lingâer and the others; seeing them would really stress him out.
After about half an hour, footsteps echoed in the hallway. Although there were several people, only Su Mengxin came to his door, which made Li Yifei very happy.
Su Mengxin pushed the door open, a faint smile on her face, and said, "Havenât you slept yet?"
Li Yifei grinned and replied, "I was waiting for you."
"What were you waiting for me for?" Su Mengxin sat on the bed, her smile teasing as she looked at Li Yifei, her eyes and brows exuding charm that nearly bewitched him and stirred his desires.
He gently took Su Mengxinâs delicate hand, his eyes filled with tender affection, and asked, "What do you think?"
Their fingers intertwined, and their gazes locked, but Su Mengxin suddenly gave a wry smile and said, "Were you really planning on making me yours today?"
Seeing Su Mengxinâs expression, Li Yifei suddenly felt unsure and replied, "Whatâs wrong? I didnât mean to pressure you."
"Itâs not that youâre pressuring me, but the timing is really unfortunate. I just started my period yesterday..." Su Mengxin pouted, her frustration obvious.
Li Yifei was slightly taken aback, then burst out laughing and replied, "That is indeed unfortunate. But you donât need to be so upset, right?"
"How can I not be? Itâs been such a long time, and just when you finally let go, it happens to be this time again. Iâve been looking forward to this for so long, and now we still canât."
The more Su Mengxin expressed her discontent, the happier and more content Li Yifei felt. A woman yearning for him was a matter of pride for any man, especially when it was a woman like Su Mengxin, which was the ultimate honor for a man.
"All right, we have our whole lives ahead of us. It doesnât have to be today or tomorrow. Letâs just go to bed, and let me hold you to ease my longing."
"Wait for me, Iâll tidy up a bit," said Su Mengxin as she stood up and hurried out of the bedroom, returning six or seven minutes later.
Soon, they were rolling around in bed. Although they couldnât do much, they could still kiss, and that kiss was dizzying, a consolation fo their longing. However, when Su Mengxin was about to pleasure Li Yifei in a certain way, he stopped her.
"Whatâs wrong?" Su Mengxin looked at him, surprised.
"Youâre feeling terrible but still trying to help me. Afterwards, I might feel good, but youâd feel even worse. Itâs better for us both to be uncomfortable than just you. That seems fair."
Su Mengxin smiled warmly and replied, "Fair enough, I canât let you have all the advantages." She crawled next to him and snuggled up like a little bird nestling against its mate.
"Stop it, or it will be even harder," Li Yifei caught Su Mengxinâs hand.
Su Mengxinâs fingers playfully scratched the palm of Li Yifeiâs hand and asked, "What about Yingying?"
Li Yifei and Xu Yingyingâs relationship had progressed rapidly. Whenever he talked to Su Mengxin on the phone, he couldnât help but share his joy, and now Su Mengxin was probing, "At first, I thought Yingying might have remembered, but after testing a few times, it seems like she hasnât recalled anything. But even if she doesnât remember, there wonât be any issues now."
Su Mengxin gave a slight smile, "For you, as long as she has you in her heart, thereâs no problem. But for us, whether she remembers or not is very important. If she hasnât recovered her memory, accepting us would be difficult. But if she remembers, then we could go back to living like we used to."
Li Yifei nodded in agreement, "I understand that too, but unless Yingying truly accepts me, I canât help her recover her memories. Only when she truly accepts me can I slowly help her find her past memories."
"Thatâs true, then letâs wait a bit longer. After all, Yingying is your official wife, and we all have to step aside."
Li Yifei couldnât help but smile, saying, "Mengxin, are you jealous?"
Su Mengxin pouted slightly and replied, "I used to think I wouldnât get jealous, but with Yingying acting like this all the time, I really am a bit jealous now."
"Really? But your jealous look is really cute."
"A woman only gets jealous because she truly loves that man. If she doesnât get jealous, doesnât that mean she doesnât love him?" Su Mengxin playfully blinked her eyes.
Li Yifei laughed heartily, then changed the topic, saying, "Todayâs direct conflict with He Zhenyang and Chen Fangzhou wasnât in my plan, it looks like I need to change my strategy."
Su Mengxin squeezed her face into Li Yifeiâs armpit and said, "Whatever you think, just do it, youâre the head of the family after all."
Li Yifei patted Su Mengxin on the shoulder and replied, "Clearly, itâs you making me do this, and here you are playing ostrich."
"I didnât say or do anything. I just felt that at that time, my man should make his own decision. Whatever you want to do, I support you."
Li Yifei was stunned for a moment, then couldnât help but say with a mixture of laughter and tears, "I thought you deliberately stayed out of it because you wanted me to fight with them and then win over the Xiao Family and Zheng Family. In the early stages of my development, their strong support would make my work twice as effective."
Su Mengxin, surprised, raised her head and looked at Li Yifei, saying, "During the fight, you actually thought of that..."
"Yes, I intended to clash with He Zhenyang and Chen Fangzhou, but not to the extent of causing severe friction with their two major families. Even if they wanted to deal with me, considering my previous status, they would have some reservations. During the early stage of my familyâs development, they wouldnât necessarily put a lot of effort into dealing with me. Overall, the benefits clearly outweigh the drawbacks."
Su Mengxinâs face was filled with delight, saying, "Yifei, you are really impressive! I really didnât expect you to think so thoroughly at that time!"
It was only then that Li Yifei realized that Su Mengxin hadnât come forward at that time and it wasnât as he thought. He quickly humbly said, "So, do you think Iâm right?"
Su Mengxin nodded, saying, "If you could win over the Xiao Family and Zheng Family, it would definitely be more beneficial than detrimental. But thereâs an important issueâhow can you truly form a strategic alliance with the Xiao Family and Zheng Family? Based solely on todayâs events, you wouldnât likely achieve an alliance with them, and might even turn them into enemies. They are now intermarried with the He and Chen Families, tied together by huge interests. You stirring things up means disturbing the collective interests of all four families."
Li Yifei suddenly frowned and said, "I really hadnât considered that. It seems todayâs actions were indeed problematic, and significantly so."
"The problem is not small, but itâs not unsolvable."
"How can it be solved? Quickly tell me, I really havenât figured it out." For Li Yifei, Su Mengxin was a think tank, a super think tank, especially in these matters.
Su Mengxin suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, making Li Yifei a bit on edge and uneasy.
"Itâs actually quite simple. Just acknowledge your relationships with Lingâer and Yuling, and then youâd become their son-in-law, wouldnât that make you family with them?"
From Su Mengxinâs smile, Li Yifei guessed she would say something like this, and immediately said with a wry smile, "Mengxin, stop teasing me. Letâs not talk about the emotional aspect, just the benefits and drawbacks. You know your grandfatherâs attitude because of you; heâs only compliant because youâre determined and he canât change your mind. But Xiao Lingâer and Zheng Yuling donât have that kind of influence. If I really did this, their families would definitely explode in anger and hate me even more. After all, if this gets out, theyâd lose face."
He paused, seeing Su Mengxin listening intently, and without interruption, Li Yifei continued, "And with my current status, even as the leader of the Flying Hawk Squad, at most I might be able to reach some common interests with one of the families, but definitely not as much benefit as a union with the He and Chen Families could bring about, let alone two families. Thus, neither in terms of face nor benefits, neither Xiao Lingâer nor Zheng Yuling sticking with me conforms to their familiesâ interests, it would only bring me more trouble."
Su Mengxinâs face spread into a wide smile, her eyes dreamily fixed on Li Yifei, "I just knew the man I chose couldnât be wrong, not only invincible on the battlefield, but also unbeatable in anything else."
Li Yifei sweat a little and said, "Mengxin, letâs not overdo the hero-worship, tell me first if my thoughts are correct?"
Su Mengxin grinned, saying, "Your thoughts are indeed correct, but thereâs one more thing you havenât considered."
"Oh?" Li Yifei looked at Su Mengxin curiously, feeling that he had been very thorough, but what Su Mengxin said he hadnât considered must be something even more important.
