Chapter 428: Chapter 435 Old Acquaintance

But when Su Mengxin actually saw the person who could make Li Yifei so scared, she was somewhat stunned because not only did she recognize Ning Xin’er, but she had also interacted with her a few times. Ning Xin’er definitely recognized her, and with her appearance, one wouldn’t be able to find a second person like her in the whole of Huaxia. Even if she didn’t admit it, it would be useless.

"Su Mengxin!" Ning Xin’er only managed to utter these three words after a long while.

Su Mengxin could only respond with a wry smile, "Ning Xin’er, I really didn’t expect to see you here." She never imagined that the person she had been so keen to meet would turn out to be someone she already knew. Now things were truly awkward, especially since Ning Xin’er had seen her kissing Li Yifei, which was a confusing situation that was hard to explain.

"Yeah! Really didn’t expect it..." Ning Xin’er chuckled dryly. In her heart, Su Mengxin was like a goddess, and even though her own looks weren’t that much worse than Su Mengxin’s, Su Mengxin’s demeanor and abilities still made Ning Xin’er feel inferior. But seeing a goddess passionately kissing a man like any ordinary person, she felt as though Su Mengxin’s halo had somewhat faded.

It was very awkward for Su Mengxin to be caught kissing Li Yifei by Ning Xin’er, but she never cared about what others thought of her and wouldn’t bother with how they saw her. However, since they were now acquaintances, Li Yifei seemed unable to avoid her, and it was very likely that there was some entanglement between Li Yifei and Ning Xin’er, which made things even more chaotic.

"Mengxin, who is this?" Li Yifei’s voice suddenly rang out beside Su Mengxin.

Su Mengxin jumped in surprise, having not expected Li Yifei to not only avoid hiding but to even initiate conversation. However, Li Yifei’s voice sounded different. When she turned her head, Su Mengxin got another shock. The man beside her might still have Li Yifei’s build, but his face was completely different. Li Yifei was at least a very stylish man, but the one now was just too ordinary, so much so that Su Mengxin had a hard time accepting it.

"Mengxin, do you have friends in Mile City too?" Li Yifei held Su Mengxin’s hand and asked again.

Only then did Su Mengxin confirm that the man beside her was indeed Li Yifei, almost causing her to react inappropriately. How could a person’s face change so quickly? But now wasn’t the time to ask, so she merely responded with a smile, "This is Ning Xin’er, a friend from Capital City. I didn’t expect to run into her here."

Li Yifei smiled as he extended his hand to Ning Xin’er, saying, "Hello, my name is Li Yifei, Mengxin’s boyfriend."

Ning Xin’er was staring intently at Li Yifei at this moment. The guy in front of her was definitely not the person she despised so much. It seemed she really had mistaken him for someone else. But this man was too inferior, right? How could Su Mengxin fancy such a man? And from the looks of it, Su Mengxin clearly had a close relationship with him, which was very unexpected to her.

After shaking hands with Li Yifei, Ning Xin’er let go immediately. She really didn’t want to have any more interaction with such a man. But she was curious about this man named Li Yifei. What on earth made Su Mengxin fall for him?

"Ning Xin’er, you’re actually that big star Ning Xin’er? This can’t be a dream, right?" Li Yifei exclaimed with an exaggerated expression.

Su Mengxin was both annoyed and amused. Li Yifei was really putting on quite a show, "Yeah, do you want me to get her autograph for you again?"

Li Yifei chuckled dryly, "Of course, that would be great. Ning Xin’er, our country’s top star."

Although Ning Xin’er was a famous star, she couldn’t really rank that high nationally. After all, she hadn’t been in the industry for long. Additionally, she was not like some superstars who would pay any price for fame. She sang and acted in movies because they were her hobbies; she would only perform if she liked the piece, so her on-screen appearances weren’t very frequent.

Ning Xin’er felt even more uncomfortable being praised by Li Yifei. She thought this man was really shallow. Someone of Su Mengxin’s stature would be courted by big stars, yet her man was seeking an autograph from a celebrity, which felt degrading.

"Su Mengxin, I’m really sorry for interrupting. I’ll take my leave now. We can catch up some other time." Ning Xin’er didn’t want to stay any longer. After speaking to Su Mengxin, she turned and quickly walked away.

Watching Ning Xin’er leave, Li Yifei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Su Mengxin immediately turned her head and stared at Li Yifei’s face, "How did you turn into this look?"

Li Yifei glanced in the direction Ning Xin’er had left and, seeing she was gone, relaxed his facial muscles, quickly returning to his original appearance. He smiled, "How about now?"

Su Mengxin stared at Li Yifei dumbfounded, having just witnessed his face slowly changing right in front of her eyes. This was truly amazing. She reached out with both hands and suddenly grabbed Li Yifei’s face, pulling and pinching as she asked, "Which one is the real you?"

Li Yifei, made to chuckle by Su Mengxin’s childish behavior, replied, "Of course, I am the real me now. The look just now was because I changed the muscles on my face to create that appearance."

"Oh, this is so fun!" Su Mengxin still wouldn’t let go, continuing to knead Li Yifei’s face a bit more.

"Stop pinching it, or else you might peel off the skin," Li Yifei pulled Su Mengxin’s hand away, making a joke.

"It’s better this way, just think if I had to kiss you when you looked like that earlier, I would really feel sick," Su Mengxin gently patted her chest.

As she spoke those words, the two suddenly fell into silence. After a while, Li Yifei cleared his throat and said, "Thanks for helping me just now."

Su Mengxin brushed aside a couple of stray strands of hair from her forehead, "If I had known you were going to handle things this way, I wouldn’t have bothered kissing you to help. Now I’m really at a loss—my first kiss is gone."

"This..." Li Yifei was greatly embarrassed, not knowing what to say at the moment, but he certainly didn’t believe Su Mengxin kissed him because she liked him.

With a light laugh, Su Mengxin said casually, "Giggle, don’t make such a face. You swindled my first kiss a long time ago, don’t you remember? That time in the jungle, you kissed me underwater, that was my real first kiss. And then there was that time in the sea, you took me along, who knows how many times you kissed me. So this one time doesn’t make much difference."

Li Yifei chuckled awkwardly, "Then I’ve really gained a huge advantage."

"Yeah, what did you think? Let’s go," said Su Mengxin, linking her arm with Li Yifei’s, showing no sign of displeasure on her face.

As Li Yifei followed Su Mengxin out, he felt somewhat uneasy inside. Su Mengxin, being hailed as Huaxia’s number one beauty, was kissing him. It would be one thing if Su Mengxin was a casual woman, but she clearly wasn’t that kind of person. Could it be that she really had some special feelings for him?

That thought flashed through Li Yifei’s mind only briefly before he promptly dismissed it.

Having lost the desire to continue shopping in the mall, the two made their way directly out, but what Li Yifei did not notice was a woman on the third floor, holding binoculars and looking down at him and Su Mengxin. That woman was Ning Xin’er.

"Son of a bitch, so it really was you!" Ning Xin’er had gone off feeling that something was not right. The voice she had heard in the restroom was undoubtedly Su Mengxin’s. Su Mengxin was clearly covering for someone by saying those words. Plus, a woman like Su Mengxin wouldn’t casually kiss a man in an emergency passageway in the mall. It was all too abnormal, so there must be something fishy about that man.

Although she left Su Mengxin, she immediately bought a pair of binoculars and was now secretly watching from this spot, and indeed, she saw Li Yifei and Su Mengxin before they left the mall.

"You bastard Shuai Mingsheng, you think you can just deceive me and walk away scot-free? Not so easy!" Ning Xin’er gritted her teeth, then snorted and muttered to herself, "So now you’re calling yourself Li Yifei, huh? Li Yifei, if I don’t avenge this grudge, my name isn’t Ning Xin’er."

Li Yifei and Su Mengxin got into the car, and Su Mengxin looked at Li Yifei. He started the car and said, "I met Ning Xin’er on a mission, back when I was still young. Because of the outstanding achievements of the Flying Hawk Squad, I was quite arrogant."

This was the first time Su Mengxin had heard Li Yifei talk about his past, and she listened eagerly, "And then what happened?"

Lighting a cigarette, Li Yifei held the steering wheel with one hand and opened the sunroof before he continued, "The mission was to ensure the safety of a leader’s family, and Ning Xin’er was a friend of that leader’s child. That’s how I met her. Back then, she was a very mischievous girl, always playing pranks on me, and I, full of youthful vigor, kept competing with her, neither of us willing to back down."

Su Mengxin chuckled and said wistfully, "You must’ve been quite the character back then."

Li Yifei smiled, "Not so much interesting as I was stubborn. That night, the girl was even more infuriating, stealing my clothes while I was showering, leaving me to stay in the bathroom for over half an hour until someone finally brought me clothes. Because of that, I even got scolded by the leader."

Su Mengxin’s smile deepened, playing the part of a good audience, she asked, "So, what did you do next?"

"Of course I wouldn’t take that lying down. The day she took a shower, I sneaked in and stole her clothes too. That girl was much bolder than me; she just wrapped a towel around herself and charged into my room to settle the score. We started arguing and in just a few words, she lunged at me wanting to hit me. I couldn’t just let her, so I dodged, and she ended up falling onto the bed... and then the towel came loose, exposing her body."

At this point, Su Mengxin did not interject; she had already roughly guessed what had happened next.

Li Yifei drew another puff from his cigarette, tossed the butt away, and then said, "After that, I... well, I just lost my head for a moment and ended up having a relationship with her." As he said this, Li Yifei himself couldn’t help but chuckle ruefully. Of all the women, Ning Xin’er was the one he compelled into a relationship.
