Chapter 1041: Chapter 1084: Private Conversation

"Dad, Uncle Lin, I raise this glass to you both. Without your understanding, I wouldn’t be able to be with Yingying and Qiongqiong."

In the luxurious dining room, the table was laden with delicious dishes, prepared by top-notch chefs using the finest ingredients. The family sat together, creating such a warm atmosphere that Li Yifei picked up his glass and first toasted Xu Zhenguo and Lin Qiong’s father.

Xu Zhenguo chuckled and said, "Yifei, you must be fair with your attention; showing favoritism as soon as you start off isn’t good."

Li Yifei immediately caught on and hurriedly said apologetically to Lin Qiong’s father, "Uncle Lin, I guess I’ll switch over today, then. I hope you don’t have any objections?"

Lin Qiong’s father laughed heartily and said, "I have no objections, but this does seem a bit hasty. I didn’t even have time to prepare a meeting gift."

"As long as you accept me as your son-in-law, that’s enough. What greater gift could there be than giving your daughter to me? To both dads, I raise this glass."

Xu Zhenguo and Lin Qiong’s father both picked up their glasses, filled with fine Maotai, and drank with a hearty laugh, especially Lin Qiong’s father, who was called dad by Li Yifei for the first time—and it felt pretty good.

Li Yifei poured another glass and said to Lin Qiong and Xu Yingying’s mothers, "To both moms, I raise this glass to you, thanking you for entrusting me with your daughters, whom you’ve raised for so many years. I will definitely treat them well, care for them more attentively than even you did, and ensure they have a better life."

Both Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong’s mothers picked up their glasses, smiles on their faces. Indeed, seeing Li Yifei sitting between Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong didn’t seem so out of place anymore, especially with both girls smiling like flowers—you could tell they were truly happy. And their mothers couldn’t have any complaints either.

"With that statement from you, Yifei, I can rest easy," said Lin Qiong’s mother first.

Xu Yingying’s mother added, "Yifei, from now on, if you make any mistakes, you won’t just have Yingying’s dad and me to face—we’ll also have Lin Qiong’s parents to deal with you."

"Yes, yes..." Li Yifei quickly agreed, knowing full well that he would continue to make mistakes in the future, but he was confident that no issue was too big to handle.

After making the rounds with toasts and enjoying some dishes, Lin Qiong raised her glass towards the Xu Zhenguo couple and said, "Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, I’m truly grateful to both of you."

Her words carried an unspoken understanding, as Xu Yingying’s parents, in a way, had made sacrifices—sharing their would-be son-in-law with Lin Qiong.

"Little Qiong, no need to overthink this. From now on, we’re all one family, and as a family, we should act accordingly. It’s improper to speak like an outsider," Xu Zhenguo said cheerfully, raising his glass and then drinking it in one gulp.

Xu Yingying’s mother smiled and said, "Little Qiong, my husband is right. From here on out, you’re just like Shanshan, Yingying’s good sister. And just like to her, I’ll be like your mother. If you need anything, just tell me, and I’ll sort it out for you."

"Mhm mhm," Lin Qiong replied, her eyes slightly reddening as she emptied her glass.

At that point, Xu Yingying also raised her glass and smilingly said to Lin Qiong’s parents, "Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, I will treat you just like my own parents from now on."

"That’s great, good child," Lin Qiong’s parents nodded repeatedly. Seeing how well Xu Yingying treated Lin Qiong, they knew she would be well taken care of, and unlike a ’mistress’, Lin Qiong would even get to marry Li Yifei one day. Their gratitude towards Xu Yingying was significant, but such things needn’t be said out loud.

The meal that followed was exceptionally joyful. Xu Zhenguo and Lin Qiong’s father chatted about their children, the past, and the future, clearly enjoying themselves immensely. They drank quite a bit but remained sober, with Li Yifei accompanying them. He was extremely excited; this vexing issue was resolved, and he knew their home would only get better and better.

After the meal, Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong’s mothers went to look at villas again, this time accompanied by Lin Qiong and Xu Yingying. With everyone voicing their opinions, it was even more enjoyable.

The mothers quietly observed Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong too, to see if their relationship was genuinely harmonious. As it turned out, the two women were like true sisters, always smiling and even whispering in each other’s ears from time to time during their chats—a level of comfort that couldn’t be faked.

Seeing Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong like this, both mothers were truly reassured. Even if the situation was somewhat absurd, handling it well was far better than resorting to conflicts that exhausted everyone.

Without planning, Xu Yingying found herself with her mother in one room, while Lin Qiong and her mother were in another. Xu Shanshan, meanwhile, had stepped back after achieving satisfaction with Li Yifei earlier, and having lost interest in house-hunting, soon rejoined Li Yifei and the others.

"Yingying, how can you be willing to share your good husband with Lin Qiong?" Xu Yingying’s mother still couldn’t fathom this matter.

Xu Yingying complained, "Here you go again. Do you really have to witness some conflict between us?"

"Of course not, but having two women with one man, Mom always feels it’s a bit odd. How could you not bicker?"

"What’s there to bicker about?"

"But there’s plenty to bicker about, like if Yifei is nicer to one of you than the other, or if he’s playing favorites, or... who he’s with at night."

Xu Yingying’s face turned red, and she scolded, "Mom, why do you have to say everything?"

"What’s the big deal? I’m your mother, and you’re all married people now. You’ve also been with Yifei for so long, what’s there not to say? Besides, this matter is quite important. So many men cheat because they are unfulfilled in this aspect. Oh my, is that why Yifei ended up with Lin Qiong?"

Xu Yingying, both embarrassed and awkward, still managed to say with a blush, "That’s not it, but... Yifei is just so strong, I couldn’t handle it alone. With Lin Qiong moving in, it’s been much better for us."

"That’s true. Yifei may not look very muscular, but as an ex-special forces soldier with such great skill, his stamina must be excellent. It’s normal that he’s stronger in this respect."

"Alright, alright, stop asking non-stop. Just know that we are very happy together."

"You, child, doesn’t Mom worry about you?" Xu Yingying shot her daughter a glance but then stopped probing and went back to exploring the room.

At this time, Lin Qiong faced the same awkwardness as Xu Yingying. Her mother asked all sorts of questions until she too reached the topic of their intimate life, though her approach was different from Xu Yingying’s mother.

"Little Qiong, when you’re all together, Yifei isn’t neglecting you, is he?"

Lin Qiong was more straightforward than Xu Yingying and replied, "Not at all, we’re together every day."

"I mean that kind of thing, you know, at bedtime, does Yifei spend more time with Yingying or with you?"

"All three of us share one bed, so tell me who has more or less." Lin Qiong had long been annoyed by her mother’s questioning but patiently replied with a dominant air.

"All three of you in one bed every day?" Lin Qiong’s mother’s eyes widened in shock.

"Yes, since Yifei is so strong, one person can’t handle it, so the two of us manage together. Now you don’t need to worry about who gets more or less, right? Mom, we’re doing great together, but you keep worrying. It’s better if you don’t meddle in our affairs too much. Otherwise, if your words cause Yingying and me to have a conflict, would you be happy to see that?"

Lin Qiong’s mother rolled her eyes, "I’m only thinking of your best interests."

"I know you mean well, but meddling too much can make things worse. Think about it, when you were young, grandma used to interfere in our family matters so much that it made you angry many times. Now here you are doing the same."

"How can it be the same? Daughters and sons are different." Lin Qiong’s mother gave her a stern look, but Lin Qiong’s words did serve as a reminder. Meddling too much in her daughter’s marital life wasn’t a good thing. As parents, they should help resolve problems only when their daughter faced them. It was better to let the couple handle their matters themselves.

Xu Shanshan was now sitting beside Li Yifei, pouring drinks for the two older men and Li Yifei. Lin Qiong’s father praised continually, "Old Xu, your daughter is wonderful, so sensible. Having two daughters like this, you’re truly fortunate."

Xu Zhenguo laughed heartily, "Now we are all one family. My daughters are also your daughters. Come on, drink up!"

Xu Shanshan sat down with a smile, appearing very proper, but one of her hands was already on Li Yifei’s thigh, gently caressing, especially making sure to nudge closer to the base of his thigh now and then.

Although she didn’t dare to be too bold in front of their parents, while they were all happily drinking, she could engage in some subtle actions under the table. Besides, he was always keen on such things, ready to take any opportunity for a bit of mischief.

Watching Li Yifei’s simultaneous excitement and discomfort, unable to move freely, brought a secret thrill to Xu Shanshan. It seemed this girl had a special fondness for sneaky touches, enjoying the thrill of covert activities with Li Yifei in front of others. Without an audience, she probably wouldn’t be so excited.
