Chapter 910 of "Super Soldier in the City" opens revealing: Chapter 910: Chapter 951 A Day of Entanglement"Thatâs settled then. Iâm really tired, going to... Keep going!
Chapter 910: Chapter 951 A Day of Entanglement"Thatâs settled then. Iâm really tired, going to sleep." Xu Yingying stretched lazily, then turned over, her back to Li Yifei, and pulled Li Yifeiâs arm to her chest, snuggling into his embrace.
Li Yifei wanted to ask clearly, but he was afraid that asking might upset Xu Yingying again. By the time he decided to ask, Xu Yingying had already fallen sweetly asleep.
The next day, Li Yifei and Xu Yingying got up around five in the morning. Xu Yingying had a flight, so they quickly packed up and Li Yifei took Xu Yingying to the airport.
"Honey, you have to listen to your wife. What I told you last night, you have to do it, okay?" After saying this, Xu Yingying kissed Li Yifei again and went for security check.
It was only then Li Yifei realized Xu Yingying was serious. She really wanted him to interact more with Ning Xinâer. Didnât this mean that Xu Yingying was as forgiving as she was before, or rather, that Xu Yingying was inherently a forgiving woman? It was just during her period of amnesia that she hadnât shown it.
Now that she and Li Yifei were once again a loving couple, her forgiving nature had resurfaced.
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense, and Li Yifeiâs heart felt like it was blooming with joy. This was clearly a good start. As long as Xu Yingying could accept Ning Xinâer, she could accept Ye Yunzhu next. Then there would be Su Yiyi and Chu Xiaoyao, and the family would return to its former harmonious happiness. Whether Xu Yingying restored her memory or not was really not important.
But on second thought, Li Yifei felt anxious. There was another possibility. What if Xu Yingying was testing him? She might be trying to see if he was sincere, to see if he was still hung up on Ning Xinâer. If he got too close to Ning Xinâer, wouldnât that just lead Xu Yingying to leave him?
This set Li Yifei into a dilemma. Returning to his car, he dialed Su Mengxinâs number.
"Whatâs up? Calling me this early," Su Mengxin sounded evidently still not fully awake, her tone rather languid.
Li Yifei immediately repeated every word of what Xu Yingying had said to him, without missing a beat, to Su Mengxin. She listened seriously without interrupting him. After Li Yifei finished, Su Mengxin asked a few questions, mainly about Xu Yingyingâs situation, her expression, and her tone when she said these things.
After Li Yifei described it all in detail, Su Mengxin hesitated a bit and said, "I think there are three possibilities."
"Three?" Li Yifei had only thought of two possibilities earlier.
"First, Yingying has recovered her memory but perhaps wants to be with you alone more, so she hasnât said that she has recovered. Yet she doesnât want to hurt others, so she tells you this, letting you interact with others. This is the best possibility, as it means our family could quickly be together."
Li Yifeiâs heart was stirred. He hadnât thought of this; the main reason being that he and Xu Yingying had been getting along so well recently that he didnât think restoring memories was that important.
"Second, Yingying hasnât recovered her memory, but sheâs very forgiving. This is her nature. Knowing Ning Xinâer had a daughter with you, she couldnât bear it in her heart, so she lets you not hurt Ning Xinâer too much. If this is the case, then itâs also very good. At least, in the future, you can tell her about the past, and she would easily accept it."
"Third, Yingying is testing you, which is the worst possibility."
The second and third possibilities were what Li Yifei had thought of too. Now there were two good possible outcomes and one bad one.
"So what do I do now?" Li Yifei was most troubled over what to do now.
"Honestly, I donât know what to do either. Itâs like a multiple-choice question. If you follow Yingyingâs words, if youâre right, everyone will be happy. But if youâre wrong, itâll bring a lot of trouble. But if you donât do it, it seems like youâre missing a good opportunity."
"Sigh, Iâm also troubled over this. How about this: when Yingying returns, Iâll interact with Ning Xinâer normally and first observe her reaction. If her attitude remains the same, then Iâll take the plunge. I canât let just one person, Yingying, keep everyone else weighed down; itâs not good for the future. It could easily hurt everyoneâs feelings."
"Okay, if thatâs your decision, Iâll fully support you, and Iâll also try to sound Yingying out indirectly."
"Alright, letâs settle it this way."
Although Su Mengxin didnât give Li Yifei a definitive answer, after talking with her, Li Yifei was more resolute in his decision.
Upon returning from the airport, Li Yifei saw that the time was about right and headed directly to the factory, where he also talked to Xu Shanshan about it, who was also quite surprised.
"Brother-in-law, just go ahead boldly. If it were someone else, youâd have to worry, but Ning Xinâer is different. Sheâs Little Yifeiâs mother. No matter what, you can justify interacting with her. Now using Ning Xinâer to test my sister is perfect."
Xu Shanshanâs suggestion was rather aggressive, yet not without merit, but Li Yifei still felt concerned.
That evening, back at home, Li Yifei recounted the situation to Ye Yunzhu and Ning Xinâer. Ning Xinâer listened, both shocked and delighted. Among Li Yifeiâs women, Ning Xinâer was the latest to genuinely become part of his life. She might also be considered the one with the least seniority, even though she was the first to have a daughter with Li Yifei. Yet, Ning Xinâer always felt that her bond with Li Yifei wasnât as deep as with the other women. But now, suddenly, such an important matter was entrusted to her.
However, this left her unsure of what to do. Or rather, she shouldnât interfere with the decision. She was just an executor, so the best way to handle it was to wait for everyone to decide, then follow accordingly.
No matter what, Ning Xinâer was very happy. She suddenly felt that having a child with Li Yifei out of spite had been a wise decision. The hardships sheâd endured over the years suddenly seemed worthwhile.
Ye Yunzhu pondered for a long time and concluded that she felt much the same as Su Mengxin. Itâs better to be cautious about this matter.
Now everyone was working towards one goal: to truly achieve a harmonious and beautiful family. Taking rash actions was out of the question, for if something went wrong, the difficulties everyone would face in the future would only grow larger.
In front of everyone, Xu Shanshan had no right to speak. After all, her status was that of Li Yifeiâs sister-in-law, and it was better for her to remain an outsider.
"Do you think Yingying really remembers?" Ye Yunzhu voiced her concern aloud.
Everyone looked at Li Yifei, who shrugged and said, "Donât look at meâIâm not sure either."
Ye Yunzhu didnât believe him and asked, "Are you saying you have no suspicions at all? With your observation skills, how could you have failed to notice?"
Li Yifei sighed helplessly and said, "Honestly, I normally have great confidence in my observational skills, but when it comes to Yingying, my skills just donât work."
"How could that be?" Everyone was baffled by Li Yifeiâs statement.
Li Yifei smiled wryly. "My observational skills are based on me maintaining absolute calmness. But now, with Yingying, too many personal factors are involvedâespecially emotions, which have clouded my vision. All I can see is her goodness; whereâs the room for observation? It would be the same for any of you. I canât bring myself to scrutinize those I love."
With that, everyone understood and could comprehend why Li Yifei didnât have good observational skills in this context. For someone who deeply loved his wife, how could Li Yifei maintain a calm mind? It was fundamentally impossible for him to discern whether Xu Yingying truly remembered.
This is what is meant by âtoo involved to see clearly.â It is human nature, and matters of the heart tend to blind rational thought. If not, why would people in love experience a decrease in IQ?
After dinner, everyone was in the living room. Ye Yunzhu could now take their baby downstairs for some fresh air, as their daughter was nearing one month old.
Li Yifeiâs phone rang at this moment, and seeing it was a call from Xu Yingying, he quickly answered.
"Honey, where are you?" Xu Yingyingâs voice was missing her usual authoritative undertone, instead exuding a clear warmth of a wife.
"Iâm with Yunzhu and them."
"Oh, well, you better not be vague about what I told you."
Li Yifei had already agonized over this matter all day, and here Xu Yingying was, bringing it up again over the phone.
"Alright, donât pretend. You donât need to worry that Iâm testing you. Spending time with Ning Xinâer and our daughter is perfectly normal. I can understand that. Should I talk to Ning Xinâer to ease her worries?"
Li Yifei wiped his brow, saying, "No need."
"From your tone, I can tell youâre afraid. Pass the phone to Ning Xinâer; Iâll talk to her."
Li Yifei had no choice but to hand the phone to Ning Xinâer, who nervously accepted it, almost dropping it. Seeing Ning Xinâer like this, Li Yifei felt a bit miserable. Thinking about how Ning Xinâer used to be such a bold and flamboyant girl and how much sheâd changed because of emotions, it really got to him.
"Ying... Yingying..."
"Hehe, Yifei should have told you, right? Donât let it bother you. Our daughterâs healthy growth is most important. I donât want Little Yifei to grow up resenting me. Spend more time with Yifei and Little Yifei, so she can grow up happily. I have no objections whatsoever."
"Okay, thank you."
"Youâre welcome. Our daughter is the priority. Little Yifei also calls me âMom,â right? Rest assured, Iâm not that petty."
After Xu Yingying hung up, Ning Xinâer remained spellbound, holding the phone in a daze. Both Li Yifei and Ye Yunzhu, having been by Ning Xinâerâs side listening, were also taken aback. It seemed like Xu Yingying indeed meant it.
