Chapter 981 - Not Enough Houses for Everyone
Chapter 981 of "Super Soldier in the City" opens revealing: Chapter 981: Chapter 1022: Not Enough Houses for EveryoneWhen Li Yifei first bought this house,... Keep going!
Chapter 981: Chapter 1022: Not Enough Houses for EveryoneWhen Li Yifei first bought this house, it felt quite spacious. Everyone had their own room, and there were even some to spare, but now it seems a bit cramped.
Xu Yingying, He Fangqing, Su Yiyi, Su Mengxin, Chu Xiaoyao, Ye Yunzhu, Ning Xinâer, and Lin Qiong made eight people. These people all lived upstairs, and since Ye Yunzhu had to be with her child at night, someone had to move downstairs when everyone was home. Downstairs, there were Xu Shanshan and Meng Xiaofei, plus Little Yifei, and two maids, making it even more crowded.
Now with Xiao Lingâer and Zheng Yuling arriving, and another Su Mengfei, space was even tighter. It was obvious there wasnât enough room, and three people had to squeeze into one room to sleep.
That didnât even include Li Yifei who always needed someone with him at night, so whatever room he ended up in was his room. He no longer had a room of his own.
After chatting for a while, Su Yiyi and Chu Xiaoyao took Xiao Lingâer and Zheng Yuling upstairs. The rooms they usually occupied were now given to Xiao Lingâer and Zheng Yuling, and they would squeeze into someone elseâs room.
Xu Shanshan also took Su Mengfei to her room, as it was undoubtedly most suitable for Su Mengfei to live with her. Fortunately, Meng Xiaofei was not at home; otherwise, three people would have had to squeeze together.
At this moment, Xu Yingying said, "Honey, we really need to speed up the construction of the other house. We just canât fit here anymore."
He Fangqing chuckled lightly, "Iâm afraid someone is actually happy about this. Usually itâs two people, but now itâs three. He must be even more pleased."
Su Mengxin laughed and said, "Yeah, our husband is really enjoying himself for the time being."
Li Yifei smiled and said, "I havenât been home these days, so I donât know how the construction is progressing."
Su Mengxin replied, "Iâve been there twice. The construction is going quite fast. The foundation work is already done, and they are about to start the ground building. The entire parkâs construction is also being carried out simultaneously. If all goes well, the basic construction should be completed in a month."
Li Yifei immediately asked, "If itâs done so quickly, wonât there be a problem with the quality?"
Su Mengxin shook her head, "No, our tallest building is only four stories high. Normally, one story can be built in three days. Using a whole month, including some interior construction and external coverings, these donât really take up much time. The main time-consuming tasks are the decorations. To really get it ready for moving in, I think it will take another three months, which means itâll be done by the end of July."
"That means we still have to live here for three months," Li Yifei felt that was quite a long time.
Su Mengxin laughed, "Actually, itâs quite easy to solve the housing issue. There are still three empty units over there. We could just move there, but itâll be a bit inconvenient, especially coming here for meals."
Ning Xinâer giggled, "I think we should let our husband live there. Whoever accompanies him at night can stay there. That way, everyone can be a bit more comfortable, like taking a bath or something. After all, we donât have that much freedom here."
He Fangqing laughed, "So, Xinâer likes Mandarin Duck baths. Thatâs really romantic."
Ning Xinâer blushed and retorted, "Fangqing, donât tell me you havenât showered with him."
Ye Yunzhu shook her head, "You ladies are really shameless. Donât let my baby hear your conversations."
Everyone burst into laughter then. They had all become very familiar with each other lately, especially after sharing a bed. The intimacy increased rapidly. Any previous small apprehensions had now completely disappeared.
After the laughter, Su Mengxin said, "Well, Xinâerâs suggestion is actually good. Being with our husband there will definitely be more relaxed. Especially since here we have Yifei and two maids, and moreover other rooms could be occupied temporarily solving our housing problem. The only condition is that our husband canât keep bringing people home."
After discussing, it seemed like a good idea. They temporarily turned the house where Xu Yingying and Li Yifei used to live into Li Yifeiâs bedroom. Whoever stayed over at night could stay there.
As for the other two houses, whoever wanted to stay there could move over. After all, in this home, rooms were no longer fixed by now. It was uncertain who would end up in which room at night. As for clothes and such, it was better to have a designated room to keep them; otherwise, it would be really troublesome to find your own clothes.
Lin Qiong shook her head, "You guys, can you not spoil him so much? It feels like heâs an emperor now, and whoever accompanies him still has to be chosen by him."
Ning Xinâer wrapped her arm around Lin Qiong, smiling, "What can we do? If we donât indulge him and he runs away, what will happen to all of us left here?"
Lin Qiong huffed, "If he dares to run, letâs just find a bunch of men."
"Pfft..." He Fangqing had just taken a sip of water and suddenly sprayed it all out, hastily wiping the stains off her clothes while saying, "I say, Lin Qiong, only you would dare to be so daring."
Li Yifei said with a chuckle, "My Little Qiongqiong, then Iâm counting on you tonight."
"You wish." Lin Qiong gave Li Yifei a look and said, "I have to leave in a bit; I still have a mission tonight."
"How come you still have a mission this late?" Li Yifei frowned.
Lin Qiong sighed and said, "I canât help it. I got an informerâs tip this afternoon that there will be a drug deal late at night, so I must go."
"Oh, then be very careful, and donât forget to bring Sophia along."
"I know, Iâm not a child. Youâre fussing more than my mother," Lin Qiong muttered, but a happy smile was clearly visible on her face. She was like that, clearly happy inside, but stubbornly refusing to admit it.
After chatting for a while, Lin Qiong left; it was getting late, and it was time to rest. They couldnât go back there to rest tonight, and the room there hadnât been occupied for days and was surely covered in dust. Tomorrow, they would get a maid to find some hourly workers to clean up before moving back.
"By the way, husband, itâs Xiao Lingâer and Yulingâs first night moving in, so why donât you keep them company?" Xu Yingying directly made this arrangement.
Xiao Lingâer and Zheng Yuling were also downstairs at this time, and upon hearing Xu Yingying say this, both faces turned bright red. However, they knew to be modest, and Zheng Yuling immediately said, "Weâve just arrived and are still unfamiliar with everything. Sister Yingying, maybe some other time. Your husband has also been away from you all for so long, let him stay with you tonight."
"Yes, weâre quite tired too, and just want to sleep well," Xiao Lingâer added.
After finishing their words, both hurried upstairs. It was still not appropriate for them to take precedence at this moment; it was better for maintaining a good impression with everyone, and they really felt unprepared for the first night, which also seemed inappropriate.
That night, Li Yifei stayed with Xu Yingying and Su Mengxin, not because of their status at home, but because Li Yifei had some matters to discuss with them. Apart from them, Ye Yunzhu was another capable person at home, but since Ye Yunzhu had to take care of her child that night, Li Yifei didnât ask her to come.
The three lay in bed, bare, which had become a habit, and they felt no embarrassment. The room was air-conditioned to a comfortable temperature, and they were covered with a light blanket that shielded the spring scenery of the two beauties.
Li Yifei lay in the middle, with Su Mengxin and Xu Yingying each lying close, their arms and legs draped over him.
Su Mengxinâs hand gently caressed Li Yifeiâs chest, sometimes touching Xu Yingyingâs arm, but she didnât pull away. She said, "Husband, the companyâs progress is good; all personnel are in place. We have already started to implement the projects based on the preliminary research. Now itâs just waiting for you to make the final decisions."
Li Yifei smiled and said, "You are more familiar with these things. Once you handle them, I can save much effort."
"I just followed your plan and did a little more; the company is yours to manage, not mine."
Li Yifei understood Su Mengxinâs intention. This time, he needed to handle everything himself, to better adapt to the business competition. As the head of a family, Li Yifei wasnât expected to do everything himself; as the familyâs operations scaled up, there should be designated people handling these tasks, with Li Yifei making decisions only on major matters.
But if you donât understand, you canât make the right judgment or the best decision. Only with a real understanding can you make the best decisions in significant matters. What Li Yifei was doing now would ease his control in this area as the head of the family in the future.
Li Yifei then turned to Xu Yingying, "Wife, has everything been going smoothly on your side recently?"
"Yes, all is well. The companyâs sales are improving, but recently, we had a problem in Southeast Asia; a batch of our goods was returned."
"Returned goods?" Li Yifei was a bit puzzled.
Xu Yingying nodded, "Yes, there was some defective merchandise in a batch for Southeast Asia. However, it wasnât a big issue; weâve already sent replacement goods. Cao Bin also said that the market there still highly supports us."
Li Yifei furrowed his brow. This incident involved Cao Bin, which instinctively made him feel there was something fishy, but for now, he had no leads and could only study it slowly later. One thing was certain, Li Yifei had never trusted Cao Bin.
