Chapter 1098: Chapter 1141: Li Yifei’s Arrangement

Li Yifei and Xiao Ling’er brought Aoki Reiko to Wang Lin’s private restaurant, where Wang Lin’s cooking skills were quite remarkable. Surely it would satisfy Aoki Reiko.

Before coming, Li Yifei had already called Wang Lin. As such, upon their arrival, not only was Wang Lin waiting at the entrance, but Brother Hu was there too. Brother Hu had completely risen in status recently. The entire underground forces of Mile City had come under his control, so he was brimming with vigor, a stark contrast to his previously dejected demeanor.

Brother Hu knew full well where all his success had come from, and he was very aware of the extent of Li Yifei’s influence. Even though he now possessed all this, if Li Yifei looked at him unfavorably, everything he had would vanish into thin air. Therefore, he felt not only gratitude towards Li Yifei but also reverence. Hearing that Li Yifei was coming, he immediately put aside his work to accompany him personally.

However, both of them were now standing behind the young girl Jiang Ningxiang, which put her in the spotlight. To outsiders, it seemed as though Jiang Ningxiang was the owner, and Brother Hu and Wang Lin were merely her followers.

At this moment, however, Jiang Ningxiang seemed a bit flustered. She glanced at Li Yifei and quickly lowered her head, and a blush rapidly spread across her cheeks.

"What are you doing? I’m just bringing guests for a meal, and you’re all setting up a welcome?" Li Yifei appreciated Brother Hu’s respect, but when it was necessary, he exerted pressure on Brother Hu. However, in normal times, he wanted Brother Hu to have a relaxed mindset. Only by doing so could he truly keep Brother Hu in his grasp.

Brother Hu and Wang Lin had always believed that Jiang Ningxiang would surely become Li Yifei’s woman, even if not now, definitely in the future. Thus, they deliberately pushed her forward today, hoping to facilitate interaction between Jiang Ningxiang and Li Yifei. But seeing Jiang Ningxiang with her head bowed, not daring to speak, Brother Hu had to say, "Young Master Li, when you arrive, how could we not come out to welcome you?"

Wang Lin’s gaze shifted to Xiao Ling’er and Aoki Reiko, and she couldn’t help but take a few more looks. The two women were so beautiful, especially their aura, which made it clear they were not ordinary people and certainly came from no simple background. As the owner of a restaurant, she was quite confident in her own judgment.

Seeing that Li Yifei had brought two women, Wang Lin felt it was inappropriate to push Jiang Ningxiang forward at this moment. She smiled and said, "Young Master Li, please come inside quickly. We’ve prepared everything for you. I will personally cook today, and I guarantee you will be satisfied with the meal."

Li Yifei smiled and nodded, "That would be great. Thank you for your trouble."

Li Yifei, Xiao Ling’er, and Aoki Reiko entered the private room together, and then Wang Lin and the others left.

Speaking Japanese, Li Yifei smiled and said to Aoki Reiko, "Miss Reiko, the owner of this place is an excellent cook, and the food is quite delicious. However, I’m not sure if it will suit your taste."

Aoki Reiko smiled lightly, "I really like Chinese cuisine, which is much more diverse than our Japanese cuisine. I’ve had a lot of Chinese food these past few days and it’s truly delicious."

Xiao Ling’er said, "Miss Reiko, I also owe it to you for finding such a great place. Without you, I wouldn’t have known about it."

Aoki Reiko squinted her eyes and said, "It seems like Feijun rarely takes Miss Ling’er out?"

Xiao Ling’er laughed, "He’s a busy man with a lot of work. We mostly eat at home, so it’s indeed rare for us to go out for meals."

"Oh, do you have any complaints?"

"No, not at all. Yifei is really good to us. Whenever he has time, he accompanies us. It’s just that for some things, we really don’t have the time to do them." While speaking, Xiao Ling’er looped her arm through Li Yifei’s and rested her head on his shoulder, a look of bliss across her face.

This wasn’t for show to Aoki Reiko; Xiao Ling’er genuinely felt this way. Since being with Li Yifei, while it wasn’t like her girlish fantasies with her beloved man among flowers under the moon every day, she did feel an extraordinary sense of warmth. Li Yifei’s affection for her was deeply satisfying.

Aoki Reiko could also sense the happiness emanating from Xiao Ling’er, and shook her head, truly unable to comprehend this family.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door. Jiang Ningxiang came in, bringing tea, and said softly, "Young Master Li, do you need anything else?"

Li Yifei waved his hand, "Nothing else needed."

"Alright, then I’ll pour the tea for you." As Jiang Ningxiang said this and poured tea for the three of them, she intended to start with Li Yifei, but he quickly pointed to Aoki Reiko, "This is our guest, pour for the guest first."

Jiang Ningxiang hastily poured for Aoki Reiko, then for Xiao Ling’er, and finally for Li Yifei, who was closest to her.

However, as she poured tea for Li Yifei, her face flushed again, and her hand shook involuntarily, tilting the teapot so that the tea spilled onto the table and splashed onto Li Yifei.

At that moment, Li Yifei wasn’t looking at Jiang Ningxiang and thus didn’t notice what happened until he heard the sound and it was too late.

"Young Master Li, I am so sorry!" Jiang Ningxiang was extremely flustered. She hurriedly set down the teapot and grabbed some paper napkins to wipe the water off Li Yifei.

Li Yifei didn’t take it seriously. There weren’t many water stains on his clothes anyway, so he casually grabbed Jiang Ningxiang’s wrist and said, "It’s okay, no worries, I’ll just wipe it off myself."

But Jiang Ningxiang’s body stiffened, and she stammered, "Young Master Li... I... I’m so sorry, I... I can’t afford to compensate for your clothes."

"Compensate..." Li Yifei paused for a moment, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter, releasing Jiang Ningxiang’s hand. As he wiped his clothes, he said, "It’s just a little water, do you need to compensate for that?"

Jiang Ningxiang sighed in relief and said, "Ah, no need to compensate? Then I can rest assured. Young Master Li’s clothes must be very expensive. Last time someone’s clothes got dirty in our store, they had to pay 10,000 yuan."

"That’s a rip-off. Alright, go on and get back to your work, there’s nothing for you here."

Jiang Ningxiang quickly stepped out, but Xiao Ling’er took a second glance at Jiang Ningxiang and said, "That was Jiang Ningxiang, right?"

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Yes."

Xiao Ling’er had never seen Jiang Ningxiang before, but she’d heard Li Yifei and Ning Xin’er mention her, so she had some impression of her. Now, seeing her in person, Xiao Ling’er felt that the girl was really quite nice. Compared to the women back home, she wasn’t particularly outstanding, but what caught her attention the most was Jiang Ningxiang’s shy demeanor – did it mean something was not quite normal between her and Li Yifei?

However, looking at Li Yifei, he seemed unfazed, probably thinking that the girl had a crush on him. But now, Li Yifei’s taste had evidently become more selective, and not just any beauty could tempt him. In fact, even the most beautiful woman might not stir his heart nowadays.

Aoki Reiko didn’t understand what was just said. Xiao Ling’er didn’t ask Li Yifei any more about it and resumed chatting with Aoki Reiko.

Xiao Ling’er had traveled around the world over the years, her experiences were quite extensive. She was very familiar with Japan and found many common topics to discuss with Aoki Reiko.

Soon, the dishes arrived, and the three of them ate and talked. Aoki Reiko couldn’t stop praising Wang Lin’s cooking. It’s just that locals don’t usually find their own cuisine very special, but always appreciate food from other countries. It’s like the Japanese restaurants in Huaxia, which are really popular and expensive too.

"Feijun, could I visit your company?" After finishing their meal, Aoki Miss Reiko had a new request.

Li Yifei apologetically said, "Miss Reiko, I’m really sorry, but I have some important work this afternoon and won’t be able to accompany you. However, I can ask Ling’er to be with you. I hope you won’t mind."

Aoki Reiko nodded and said, "Then I won’t trouble you, Feijun. Miss Ling’er, I’ll be in your care."

"Sure, no problem. It would be my honor to serve as Miss Reiko’s guide."

Li Yifei arranged a car for Aoki Reiko and Xiao Ling’er to leave first, while he stayed behind as he had some matters to discuss with Brother Hu.

Brother Hu knew Li Yifei had stayed back for a reason and quickly came in to listen to Li Yifei’s instructions.

"Brother Hu, I need you to take care of some business for me," Li Yifei said with a very serious expression.

Brother Hu immediately replied, "Young Master Li, no matter what it is, if you ask me to do it, I’ll do it without question."

Li Yifei nodded and said, "This task is dangerous, you could even lose your life. I’m warning you now, and you don’t have to rush to respond. If you don’t want to do it, I won’t force you."

"No need, I’m definitely going to do it. My life was given to me by you, Young Master Li. I have already entrusted my life to you."

Li Yifei was very pleased with Brother Hu’s response and slowly said, "I need you to go to the provincial city and make a name for yourself there. But don’t be rash; just get settled first. Keep a low profile, but also be ready for conflicts. I’m not confident about others handling this, but you’re familiar with this kind of thing, so I thought of you."

Brother Hu clenched his fists with fervent excitement and said, "Young Master Li, I will definitely take on this task." Although Li Yifei hadn’t been very explicit, Brother Hu understood immediately – Li Yifei was planning to expand into the provincial city. Mile City was too small for Li Yifei, and Brother Hu couldn’t miss out on such a monumental venture. Of course, he had to be at the forefront, where the greatest merit lay.
