Chapter 354: Chapter 361 Retching

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "After all, I served as a soldier in Capital City, and I’ve heard some things about family affairs, but I never realized your family background was so powerful, Yunzhu."

Li Yifei’s explanation was easily accepted by Ye Yunzhu, who said, "I didn’t tell you before because I was afraid it would put pressure on you. I originally wanted you to make some achievements in the political arena, so that when we were together, it wouldn’t be so stressful. But seeing that you’re not interested in holding office, I won’t force you."

"Thanks for not pushing me into it, otherwise I really would have suffocated."

Ye Yunzhu gave Li Yifei a look and said, "And you can still laugh about it, I’m the one who’s worried to death now."

"Don’t worry, I’m just a minor character, and they probably won’t take me seriously anyway. It would be beneath them to pick a fight with me."

"That’s actually very possible. Those from prestigious families are prouder than one another. In their eyes, they are like the nobility in the United Kingdom, not taking ordinary people seriously at all. Haha, I’m not looking down on you, though."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "Of course, I know. If Yunzhu looked down on me, you wouldn’t have bothered with me in the past. Are we going to drink mutton soup again tonight?"

"Sure, I haven’t gone in a long time. How about we go to the one we used to visit?"

"That place is still around?"

"Yeah, it’s an old brand, and business is booming now."

Upon hearing this, Li Yifei was quite excited. Near their high school, there was a mutton soup restaurant they both liked to visit. The soup was affordable, costing only a few bucks per bowl. Each of them would have a bowl of steaming mutton soup, with a couple of steamed buns on the side, and it made for a great meal.

In fact, Ye Yunzhu had quite a lot of pocket money back then, but she never flaunted her superiority in front of Li Yifei. Moreover, she would often let Li Yifei treat her. Although Li Yifei would always call Ye Yunzhu stingy, he secretly felt proud and pleased.

Now, the two came to the place called Three Stars Mutton Soup Restaurant again. The original low-rise building was gone, replaced by a storefront under a residential complex, two floors adding up to more than three hundred square meters. At the entrance, two pretty receptionists welcomed the guests – a far cry from the old mutton soup eatery.

It was mealtime, and they had wanted to find a private room, but they were all booked. They didn’t switch locations, however, and settled down in a spot on the first floor instead.

This time, in addition to ordering mutton soup and steamed buns, they also added lamb blood and fried lamb ribs, and then waited for the dishes to arrive.

Ye Yunzhu took out a napkin from her bag to wipe their plates and chopsticks, saying with a smile, "Haha, not getting a private room is actually better. It feels more like the days when we used to eat here. It was always so bustling."

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Yeah, this atmosphere makes the food taste better. If it were just the two of us, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to enjoy that same flavor."

Before long, their ordered dishes were served. The two didn’t ask for any alcohol and simply nibbled on the steamed buns and sipped their mutton soup, as if they were taken right back to their high school days.

Even though the air conditioning was on in the mutton soup restaurant, the soup itself was piping hot. Sprinkling some chili oil, they soon were sweating profusely, but that didn’t stop them from eating.

Just like them, most other diners were enjoying their mutton soup in the summer heat, which is when it’s best enjoyed and brings out the right atmosphere. In contrast, not many people like to drink it in the winter.

After eating their fill, they stepped out of the soup restaurant. Once in the car, Ye Yunzhu patted her belly and said, "I’m so stuffed. I seem to be eating more and more lately. I hope I don’t gain weight."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "Your figure is still so good; even if you gain a bit, it’s no big deal."

Ye Yunzhu gave Li Yifei a seductive look and said, "Really? You think I have a good figure?"

"Of course, Yunzhu’s figure is definitely praiseworthy." Li Yifei looked at Ye Yunzhu with a beaming smile.

"Hmph, what good does having a nice figure do? I’m not that young girl anymore, someone has lost interest."

Li Yifei let out a chuckle and said, "Not that I’ve lost interest, it’s just a different kind of flavor now."

"You have good taste. Now, we have an hour before I have to go to work. Where shall we go?"

The mention made Li Yifei’s heart flutter, pulling him back to their high school days when they had about an hour after meals. Back then, they would always find a secluded place to get intimate.

Originally, Li Yifei had been quite conflicted about meeting Ye Yunzhu this time, but with all these memories, he temporarily put aside the fact that he had been married, his eyes only for Ye Yunzhu.

"How about... we find a hotel room?" Li Yifei asked with a sly smile.

"Finding a room might be a bit of a waste of time, how about... we just do it in the car?"

"Do it in the car..." Li Yifei’s eyes widened, then he burst out laughing, saying, "Yunzhu, you are as bold as you were back then."

That was just Ye Yunzhu’s personality—daring in action, never hiding her intentions in front of Li Yifei.

"But doing it in the car in broad daylight, isn’t that likely to attract onlookers?" Li Yifei asked with a grin.

"I know a place, it’s very secluded, definitely won’t be harassed, and it’s not far from here either, let’s go, let’s hurry." Ye Yunzhu was actually urging Li Yifei eagerly.

Under Ye Yunzhu’s direction, it took Li Yifei less than ten minutes to drive the car into a small alleyway between two factories. The alley was a dead end, now overgrown with weeds, a sign that barely anyone ever came by. Moreover, getting into this alley required making several turns, so it was unlikely anyone would know about it.

"How do you know such a place?" Li Yifei asked, somewhat puzzled.

"These two factories used to belong to my family, but they shut down due to poor management. It is absolutely quiet here," Ye Yunzhu said as she adjusted the seat back, quickly turning it into what resembled a simple single bed.

With Ye Yunzhu taking the initiative like this, how could Li Yifei maintain any pretense of reserve? He twisted around and was already on top of Ye Yunzhu. Without a word, he had begun kissing her.

Ye Yunzhu’s arms immediately wrapped around Li Yifei, kissing him back passionately.

The last time Li Yifei and Ye Yunzhu were together in a hotel, even though they had done the same thing, they had both had quite a bit to drink and were not entirely clear-headed. But now, both of them were completely sober, it felt as if they hadn’t done something like this for seven or eight years, and the passion was simply indescribable.

This was also a major reason why Ye Yunzhu had cast aside her reserve and become so bold and proactive.

However, since they still had to work in the afternoon, after kissing for a while, Ye Yunzhu pushed Li Yifei away and took off her clothes properly, fearing that they might get too carried away and tear the clothes in the heat of the moment.

Li Yifei looked at her perfect body, and his breathing became even more rapid. Ye Yunzhu was plumper than when she was in high school, but not fat; it was the kind of fullness that comes with a woman’s maturity. Her chest was fuller, her hips fleshier, yet her waist was still as slender. With such a woman in front of him, how could he possibly restrain himself?

The red Porsche shook violently, finally calming down after a while.

Some time later, the car slowly pulled out of the alley. Inside, Li Yifei and Ye Yunzhu were both dressed, but Ye Yunzhu’s face was still flush with a satisfied, blissful expression, her eyes half-closed in delight.

"Ugh!" Ye Yunzhu suddenly turned pale and retched.

Li Yifei quickly asked, "What’s wrong, is your stomach feeling a bit upset?"

"Yeah, a little."

"Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"It’s nothing. My stomach has been a bit off lately."

"Then you should take extra care, drink less alcohol."

Ye Yunzhu sighed and said, "I don’t want to, but there are just too many drinking events in this political field, and most of the time I can’t refuse, or else I’d stand out too much."

"What’s so good about being an official? You’re a Township Chief, but above you there’s the County Head; if you become a County Head, there’s the Mayor; even if you were the Mayor, above you would be the Provincial Governor. There’s always someone above you, always someone you need to please."

Ye Yunzhu chuckled and said, "Throughout life, whether you’re an official, a businessman, or even the most ordinary person, there’s always someone in charge, always someone you need to please, right? You get used to it... Ugh..."

Li Yifei frowned again and sighed, "With you retching like this, I was worried you might’ve gotten pregnant right after we did it."

Ye Yunzhu laughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking? There’s no way to feel it right after doing it." But as she spoke, Ye Yunzhu’s face suddenly changed. It had been almost a month since the last time with Li Yifei, but her period seemed to have missed this past month.

Ye Yunzhu was very busy normally, so she didn’t pay much attention to her menstrual cycle or remember the dates; she wasn’t clear whether her period was due yet or not.

Li Yifei then said, "No jokes now, let’s go to the hospital to have a look. It’s not good to keep retching like this; it’s better to treat an illness early."

Ye Yunzhu felt a wave of panic for no particular reason and said, "No need, I still have to work this afternoon."

Li Yifei glared and said, "What’s more important, work or health? Work is for the state, but your body is your own. Which is more important?"

"You... which do you say is more important?" Ye Yunzhu was rendered speechless by Li Yifei’s words.

"Of course, your own well-being is more important. Even if you love your country, if you don’t take good care of yourself, how can you love your country? So now, don’t say anything else, we are going to have a health check."

"Okay, okay, let’s go for a health check, but let me make it clear, if they insist on doing a gastroscopy, I won’t do it."

Li Yifei knew that undergoing a gastroscopy was indeed unpleasant, so he said, "We are just going to take a look, a simple check-up is all, it’s not necessarily a gastroscopy."

Only then did Ye Yunzhu agree, and they soon arrived at the hospital. After telling the doctor about the situation, several tests were immediately ordered, including a urine test.

After the tests were completed, the results had not yet come back when Li Yifei was called away by a phone call, leaving Ye Yunzhu alone waiting for the result.
