Chapter 421: Chapter 428: Will you do it or shall I?

Li Yifei had also awakened by this time and said, "Don’t worry, there’s nothing to worry about. I rushed over later."

Xu Yingying said anxiously, "I’m really fine? I remember they drugged me last night, and it was an aphrodisiac. I was kind of... losing control."

"Shanshan protected you the whole time, not letting them touch you. Shanshan was really brave. If it weren’t for her, the consequences would have been unimaginable," Li Yifei was also feeling a sense of residual fear. If Xu Shanshan hadn’t been so valiant, by the time he would have arrived, Xu Yingying might indeed have been violated.

Even if he had killed Song Ziqiao and all the others, the fact would still have happened. He might not care, but Xu Yingying likely couldn’t have borne it, and he dared not imagine what she might have done in that situation.

"Really? Husband, you’re not lying to me, are you?" Xu Yingying stared at Li Yifei with a face full of panic.

"How could I lie to you? You’re my wife," Li Yifei said gently as he stroked Xu Yingying’s face.

"Then why am I... not wearing any clothes?"

"Of course, it was me who undressed you."

Li Yifei didn’t say anything more at this point, as he didn’t know if Xu Shanshan was asleep or not, and it was inappropriate to discuss such matters.

Xu Yingying saw nothing amiss in Li Yifei’s eyes and finally let out a sigh of relief. If Li Yifei had undressed her, then even if she had done something because of the drug, it was with her own husband, and that was completely fine. But then she suddenly thought of another problem, quickly pulled away Li Yifei’s hand, and chided, "Stop it."

Li Yifei quickly withdrew his hand. It was really inappropriate to be intimate with Xu Yingying with Xu Shanshan there.

"Why did you let Shanshan sleep here?" Xu Yingying whispered to Li Yifei, her face flushing with embarrassment.

Li Yifei replied, "Shanshan kept having nightmares last night. She was too scared to sleep alone, so she ended up coming to our room."

Xu Yingying turned her head to look at Xu Shanshan and then noticed the bandage on her forehead, and exclaimed in surprise, "Shanshan is injured?"

"Yes, she got a little cut. I’ve already treated it, and it shouldn’t be a big problem."

"Those bastards!" Xu Yingying’s face turned an angry shade of pale, extremely incensed. She knew she was unharmed and wasn’t so upset anymore, but seeing that Xu Shanshan had gotten hurt, she couldn’t hold back.

"Sis, don’t make noise, let me sleep a bit more," Xu Shanshan opened her eyes and looked aggrieved.

"Alright, alright, you sleep, I won’t talk anymore." At this moment, Xu Yingying felt both heartache and gratitude toward her sister. It wasn’t just about letting Xu Shanshan sleep a bit longer, she would have readily agreed to even more outlandish requests.

"Okay, everyone hasn’t had a good sleep, let’s all sleep a bit more," Li Yifei said.

Xu Yingying nodded, reached out to hold Li Yifei’s hand, and then closed her eyes.

Although three people were in one bed, with Xu Yingying undressed, all three slept quite naturally until past seven o’clock when Li Yifei was woken by the phone.

Li Yifei hurriedly got out of bed and went to the living room to find his phone. Seeing the call was from Chu Xiaoyao, he quickly answered.

"Uncle, where have you been?" Chu Xiaoyao started by checking in on Li Yifei right away.

Li Yifei said in a low voice, "Some things came up last night, and I left in the middle of the night."

"Bad uncle! Where are you now?"

"I’m already back home."

"Annoying!" Chu Xiaoyao said and then hung up.

Li Yifei hadn’t expected Chu Xiaoyao to not say much more, but it was better that way. After what had happened last night, he was feeling quite regretful and had somewhat indulged Chu Xiaoyao. Now that he was married, he should be a responsible husband. The situation with Su Yiyi was already complicated enough, so he couldn’t afford to make things even more complex.

"Was it Yiyi?" Xu Yingying came into the living room, now wearing her pajamas.

Li Yifei smiled awkwardly and said, "No, it was Chu Xiaoyao. She’s on break and went to my house last night, oh, the one I used to live in."

"Oh, did she do well on her tests?" Xu Yingying sat next to Li Yifei, looping her arm through his and resting her head on his shoulder.

"She should be doing well. That girl is quite smart. It’s just that she’s been influenced by her parents. If we ever have kids, we must not fight, it’s bad for the children."

"I’m not going to fight with you. If you annoy me, I’ll ban you from leaving the house for a whole year."

"Phew, wife, you’re really ruthless."

"Hmph, it’s because you have so many unseverable ties of affection. By keeping you locked at home, you become honest."

Li Yifei coughed twice and said, "Wife, I’m sorry, but I’m working hard now to be a good husband, and I will definitely handle everything properly."

"I believe you." Xu Yingying took Li Yifei’s hand.

Li Yifei reciprocated by holding Xu Yingying’s hand, feeling a surge of warmth in his heart. The feeling of home was becoming stronger in his heart. Wives and girlfriends were indeed different. He felt a sense of responsibility towards Xu Yingying that he absolutely had to follow through on.

"How is that Song Ziqiao doing?" Xu Yingying asked.

Li Yifei recounted the previous day’s events, though he omitted the struggles with those experts, which were still somewhat remote to Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying voiced her concerns, "You fought Song Ziqiao, and now this problem might be even harder to resolve. I know now that he’s from the Province City Song Family, a major clan of the city. If he comes back for revenge, that would be really troublesome."

Li Yifei said with ease, "Don’t worry about that, I’ll handle it."

Xu Yingying turned around, took Li Yifei’s hand, and said seriously, "Husband, we’re husband and wife. No matter what we encounter, we should face it together. I don’t want you to play the hero and bear all the pressure alone. Although I’m just a woman, I can still help you bear it."

Li Yifei nodded and replied, "I understand. I’ll talk to Su Mengxin later to see if she can put some pressure on the Song Family, so they stop troubling us."

"Right, Sister Mengxin is indeed the only one with such capabilities. When she comes over later, let’s talk to her together. Oh, and husband, you did a great job making those people slap Song Ziqiao. He definitely won’t let them off the hook. Without lifting a finger, you’ve taken care of them too, which is quite satisfying."

After discussing for a while, there was a knock on the door. Su Mengxin and Meng Xiaofei arrived together. Meng Xiaofei was still giggling away, while Su Mengxin was as graceful and composed as ever. It was the same story when both of them came over – they were here for a free meal.

During the meal, Su Mengxin noticed Xu Shanshan’s injuries. Though Xu Shanshan’s face wasn’t swollen, there were still some bruises, and because her skin was so fair, the bruises were all the more conspicuous.

"Shanshan, what happened?" Su Mengxin asked, puzzled.

Xu Shanshan immediately puffed up with anger and recounted last night’s events, causing Su Mengxin’s brows to furrow instantly.

Xu Yingying said, "Mengxin, that Song Ziqiao is so detestable. I’m very worried that Yifei’s fight with him will provoke an even crazier retaliation."

Su Mengxin looked at Li Yifei, who winked at her, and she quickly caught on. She said with a stern face, "Don’t worry, I’ll speak to the Song Family elders about this. This behavior is just unacceptable. What kind of people is the Song Family raising?"

With Su Mengxin’s words, Xu Yingying felt relieved and said, "Then thank you, Mengxin."

Su Mengxin said with mild reproach, "Thanks for what? I eat at your place every day, and I feel like you’re my family. How could we let outsiders bully our own people?"

At this moment, Xu Yingying was truly grateful to Su Mengxin, and Mengxin’s words touched her even more. Although she had recently been addressing Su Mengxin by her name directly, in her heart, she still couldn’t consider Su Mengxin as a friend. Yet, Mengxin seemed to genuinely treat her as a friend, even considering her place as home and the hired help as her family members.

Xu Shanshan then pouted and said, "Sister Mengxin, you must help me get even. Look what that jerk did to me, my face still hurts."

Su Mengxin nodded and responded, "I will definitely do so."

Su Mengxin’s answer was very simple, but Li Yifei understood that such a promise from Mengxin could lead the Song Family into disarray. Mengxin’s capabilities were simply not something the Song Family could match, not just in terms of money, but more importantly, Mengxin’s background was something the Song Family couldn’t come close to even if they tried.

It was Saturday, and no one had to go to work. After the meal, Su Mengxin said to Li Yifei, "Yifei, come help me with something."

Li Yifei readily followed her, and Xu Yingying didn’t come along. If it were another woman alone with Li Yifei, she might think more about it, but she would never suspect anything between Su Mengxin and Yifei.

Once they were at Su Mengxin’s place, seated on the sofa, Su Mengxin asked Li Yifei, "What do you want to do?"

"I don’t particularly want to do anything. I already broke both of Song Ziqiao’s legs yesterday, and I’ve vented my anger sufficiently. If the Song Family comes after me, then let them come. But if they dare to touch Yingying or Shanshan again, I won’t be polite to them."

Su Mengxin smiled faintly and asked, "So, would you like me to restrain them, or do you prefer to handle it yourself?"

Li Yifei smiled and replied, "With you, Miss Su, taking action, naturally, I can relax. Why wouldn’t I be happy about that?"

"The second-in-command of the Flying Hawk Squad is getting lazy now," Su Mengxin teased with a hint of humor in her voice.

Li Yifei shrugged his shoulders and answered, "Yes, life is so comfortable now. I’m very content. I no longer like dealing with the life of violence and killing."

Su Mengxin gazed at Li Yifei, her eyes flickering for a moment, and then she picked up the phone.
