Chapter 1161: Chapter 1207: It Really Is You

The two thugs also sensed something at this moment, immediately turned around, and faced the person behind them. Both of them pulled out a dagger simultaneously, snarling fiercely: "Get lost?"

The person who arrived was none other than Li Yifei. At this moment, he snorted coldly. With both hands, he swiftly grasped the hair of the two men. Before they could react, he forcibly smashed their heads together.

Without even a grunt, the two men passed out and lay limply on the ground.

Li Yifei crouched down, helping Aoki Reiko to steady herself, and said, "Miss Reiko, are you alright?"

"Yifei?" Aoki Reiko called out in an extremely astonished voice, then suddenly grabbed Li Yifei’s arm, urgently saying: "It’s you, it must be you, you are that person!"

Li Yifei was startled, his heart raced with surprise. No way, Aoki Reiko had recognized him. But he dared not admit it, feigning confusion he said: "Miss Reiko, what are you talking about? I am Li Yifei."

"Yifei, you can’t fool me, your eyes, I remember them clearly. That day you saved me, it was with the same gaze, I remember, I really do. It was at that dock, just like today, you saved me from two thugs."

At this moment, Li Yifei was even more stunned. He initially thought Aoki Reiko had recognized him as Mu Fei. Unexpectedly, she recognized him from the first time he rescued her.

"Weren’t you unconscious then?" Li Yifei asked subconsciously, but his inquiry was just a pretense. Having quickly weighed his options, since Aoki Reiko had recognized him, even if he denied it, it would be futile. Moreover, that identity could offer several plausible explanations and also prevent Aoki Reiko from linking him to Mu Fei, potentially a good resolution.

Aoki Reiko excitedly said: "Hehe, it really is you, it really is! I was initially unconscious, but when you moved me to another place, I woke up and I saw your eyes."

Li Yifei gave a wry smile and said, "I intended to do a good deed anonymously, but you still recognized me."

"I never expected to meet you here, I am really so happy, you saved me once again."

Li Yifei shook his head helplessly, and said: "All right, but shouldn’t we deal with this situation first? Also, shouldn’t we head back? We can’t stay here forever, can we?"

"Ah, you’re right." Aoki Reiko then realized the environment they were in, quickly leaning on Li Yifei’s shoulder trying to stand up, but she immediately cried out in pain, nearly falling to the ground, luckily Li Yifei caught her in time.

"What happened? Are you hurt?"

Aoki Reiko, with a pained expression, said: "I fell just now, I think I’ve twisted my ankle, it hurts..."

"Then, I’ll carry you. You don’t mind, right?" Li Yifei could only opt for this solution.

"That would be trouble for you." Aoki Reiko hesitated for a moment but then gave Li Yifei a grateful smile.

Li Yifei bent over, picked Aoki Reiko up in his arms, and then prepared to leave. Aoki Reiko was somewhat shy but still clung to Li Yifei’s neck. For someone who had saved her twice, she really had no defenses.

However, just as Li Yifei had taken a few steps, Aoki Reiko said, "What about those two men?"

"Someone will handle it," Li Yifei said briefly, walking briskly forward with Aoki Reiko in his arms.

Aoki Reiko knew that Li Yifei had significant influence here; dealing with such matters naturally wouldn’t require her worry, and so she let herself be carried by him with peace of mind.

Although it was night, there was a half-moon in the sky, and together with the myriad stars, Aoki Reiko could still clearly see Li Yifei’s face. Looking at his face, she suddenly thought of Mu Fei. Mu Fei, although very bastardly, during that day at sea when Mu Fei held her floating on the sea, they also saw the starry sky, feeling many similarities.

"Is there something on my face?" Li Yifei felt quite uncomfortable under Aoki Reiko’s gaze and half-jokingly asked.

Aoki Reiko, embarrassed, smiled and said, "I was reminded of Mu Fei. That bastard, during that day in the sea with me, it was also under a sky full of stars." Then she turned her head to gaze at the stars, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Li Yifei silently grimaced. He had behaved very badly in front of Aoki Reiko, simply because he did not want her to have a good impression of him, to avoid future trouble for both of them. Currently, the trouble was unclear, but Aoki Reiko had unexpectedly fallen for that bad Mu Fei, something completely unexpected.

Finally, arriving at the car, Li Yifei unlocked the door, placed Aoki Reiko in the back seat, and said, "Put your leg on the seat, I will take you to the hospital now."

On the way, Li Yifei called Xu Yingying, informing her that Aoki Reiko was alright, just a twisted ankle, and he was now taking her to the hospital for a check-up. Xu Yingying asked Li Yifei to pass the phone to Aoki Reiko, and Li Yifei promptly handed it to her, saying, "This is my wife, Xu Yingying."

"Miss Reiko, are you alright?" Xu Yingying asked.

"I’m fine, thank you for your concern, madam. I’ve troubled Yifei again. I will have a quick check-up at the hospital, then let Yifei go back."

"Miss Reiko, don’t overthink it. Since you came to Mile City, it is our duty to host you. I apologize for any alarm you might have experienced. I’ve already spoken with Yifei, and he will make sure to take good care of you tonight."

Aoki Reiko gratefully said, "I really appreciate it, thank you so much, ma’am. Once my foot gets better, I will definitely come to visit."

"Hehe, there’s no need for such formalities. I won’t say more now. You’d better hurry to the hospital."

After hanging up the phone, Aoki Reiko passed her cellphone forward and said, "Feijun, your wife is truly kind-hearted."

Li Yifei smiled and said, "Yes, Yingying is the only wife I have officially registered a marriage with. It’s her tolerance that keeps our home so harmonious. I can never repay her enough for all the kindness she has shown me."

"You are truly fortunate," Aoki Reiko sincerely complimented, showing no signs of the reservations she had before upon learning that Li Yifei had multiple wives.

Upon reaching the hospital, Li Yifei borrowed a wheelchair, wheeled Aoki Reiko to get an X-ray which showed no issues with her bones. Next, they headed home for her to take some medicine and apply cold and then hot compresses.

Having loaded Aoki Reiko back into the car, Li Yifei said, "Miss Reiko, I’ve been thinking, I should take you to my house instead."

"To your house? No need, that would be inconvenient."

"I feel it’d be more inconvenient for you to be on your own. Nobody would take care of you, and with your foot in this condition, I would worry. It’s better if you stay at my house, we have servants there who can look after you, that way I can rest easy."

"Is that so... Won’t it be troublesome for you?"

Li Yifei laughed, "My wives don’t mind even when I’m alone with you, let alone you staying at our house."

"Then I thank you, Feijun," Aoki Reiko hesitated a moment before agreeing. Her foot was still quite painful, especially when exerted, making it inconvenient for her to be alone at home, but at Li Yifei’s house, with people to care for her, she wouldn’t have to worry.

Soon, Li Yifei brought Aoki Reiko to his home. Even in the evening light, one could see how vast Li Yifei’s garden was. The scarcity of land in Japan compared to Huaxia made owning such a large garden almost unimaginable, something even the Aoki Family could not achieve for construction.

This gave Aoki Reiko a new understanding of Li Yifei’s capabilities, realizing he had understated his resources before. Owning such a vast garden indicated he was no ordinary person.

Li Yifei brought Aoki Reiko to a guest room and summoned a maid to take care of her for the next few days, supervising the maid as she applied cold compresses to Aoki Reiko.

"Feijun, if you’re not in a hurry, could we chat for a while?" Aoki Reiko, seeing that Li Yifei was about to leave, hesitated before making the request.

Li Yifei sat down on a chair next to the bed and said, "Alright, let’s talk." Since Aoki Reiko had recognized him as the person who had saved her during her first trip to Japan, he felt it necessary to clarify the matter, or otherwise, Aoki Reiko wouldn’t be satisfied.

"Feijun, when you saved me that time, did you really have no impression of me at all?"

Li Yifei smiled slightly, saying, "Actually, I recognized you immediately when I saw you on the road that time. But it felt too coincidental, and if I had brought it up, you might think I had inappropriate intentions. My rescuing you was just a convenient action, so I didn’t want you to feel indebted to me."

"Your character is truly noble, Feijun. But why did you go to Japan then?"

Li Yifei sighed, "It’s a bit of an unsavory matter, actually."

"Oh? What was it?"

Li Yifei hesitated for a moment, then said, "I’ll tell you, Miss Reiko. Actually, I was helping a friend with smuggling, so it was something clandestine."

"Smuggling? With your current wealth, do you need to resort to smuggling?"

"I really don’t need it, but it was to repay a favor to a friend who used my connections to get things across. I’m not involved in this business myself."

"I see, so your friend... what does he do?"

Li Yifei looked at Aoki Reiko’s anxious expression and couldn’t help smiling, "The person isn’t Mu Fei as you might be thinking; he’s not that capable."

Aoki Reiko looked somewhat disappointed and apologetically said, "I’m sorry, since it’s related to your privacy, I won’t ask further."

Li Yifei finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling he had managed to sidestep the issue once again.
