Chapter 429: Chapter 436: Past with Ning Xin’er

"No wonder Ning Xin’er hates you so much," Su Mengxin said with a puzzled look at Li Yifei. "But since she hates you to that extent, you must have had a lot of trouble at the time."

Li Yifei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Afterwards, I was really scared. Arguing with her was one thing; nobody cared about that. But sleeping with her was a huge mistake. I thought for sure I would get kicked out, but there was no reaction at all. Nobody in the squad talked to me about it, as if nobody even knew it happened."

"Then it seems Ning Xin’er didn’t tell anyone about it," Su Mengxin said. "For a girl to talk about such a thing would naturally be very embarrassing for her."

"That must be it, but every time she saw me after that, she looked at me like I was her sworn enemy, like she wouldn’t be satisfied until she had tormented me to death. I felt guilty, so I could only take whatever she threw at me. Not until the mission was complete and I returned to the squad did I stop seeing her."

Su Mengxin didn’t ask if Ning Xin’er had sought out Li Yifei again. She was well aware that for organizations like the Flying Hawk Squad, which are state secrets, only those with a high enough clearance knew about the squad’s existence. The rest of the people had no idea about it, and Li Yifei was certainly on his missions under a different identity, so Ning Xin’er could never find out his true identity.

"But it looks like Ning Xin’er hasn’t given up on getting back at you," Su Mengxin teased as she smiled at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei gave a wry smile and said, "Yeah, I’ve been avoiding her ever since. Even though I saw her a few times, she never recognized me. Who would have thought I’d run into her again in Mile City?"

"Hehe, if she knew your identity, then I’m afraid you would be even less at peace. I also know a bit about Ning Xin’er. Once you’ve offended her, it seems she won’t let it go so easily."

Li Yifei shivered and said, "Luckily I managed to bluff my way through this time. You’re not going to tell her my identity, are you?"

"That depends on your performance," Su Mengxin said playfully.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but grin. Su Mengxin’s childish charm was extremely adorable and made her instantly likable. He laughed and said, "Alright, make a request. As long as I can do it, I’ll agree to it."

"Okay, then I won’t stand on ceremony. In a while, I’ll have to go back to Capital City. When I do, you’ll accompany me, alright?"

"Accompany you to Capital City..." Li Yifei hesitated for a moment.

Su Mengxin pursed her lips and said, "Look at you, so eager just a moment ago, and now you’re thinking of going back on your word."

Li Yifei gave a forced laugh and said, "Alright, to Capital City it is. I’m just an attendant; it doesn’t really matter."

"I haven’t decided on what role you’ll play. I’ll let you know when the time comes."

"You can’t be serious?" Li Yifei turned his head, widened his eyes, and looked at Su Mengxin.

Su Mengxin laughed lightly and said, "Maybe I’ll have you pretend to be my boyfriend like Yingying did."

"That... I’m afraid no one would believe it," Li Yifei replied.

"Why not?"

"Why not? You’re Huaxia’s number one beauty; even if you were to find a boyfriend, it would have to be some scion of a major family. An ordinary Joe like me posing as your boyfriend, who would believe that?"

"Why must I only find such so-called ’geniuses’? Can’t I just find a man I like?" Su Mengxin looked at Li Yifei with a meaningful gaze.

Li Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "Don’t tell me about true love. With your kind of status, how could you possibly find true love? Besides, an ordinary person, could they really catch your eye? Even if you did take a fancy to someone, the difference in your lifestyles is too great. How could you be happy together? The wealthier party would suffer from the hardship of daily life; even if they could take money from their parents to improve the living conditions, the other person would lose their self-respect. Inevitable grievances would arise, and conflicts would grow larger and larger until they parted ways."

With disbelief, Su Mengxin said, "Aren’t you being a bit one-sided? "

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "My view might be one-sided, but if you were to seek your own love, that man would feel immense pressure. I’m afraid an ordinary person wouldn’t have the courage for it."

Glancing at Li Yifei, Su Mengxin said half-jokingly, "You seem pretty brave to me."

"I... haha, with all the thought I’ve put into this, why would I go looking for that kind of trouble? In fact, with the emotional foundation that Yunzhu and I have, it would seem natural for us to be together. Yet, both of our lifestyles have changed. I cherish my freedom and being unrestrained, whereas she wants me to strive and stand out from the crowd. So a chasm has developed between us, preventing us from walking the same path."

"And yet you still got Ye Yunzhu pregnant."

Li Yifei gave an awkward smile and said, "We’re all adults here, besides, even though we might not be suited as husband and wife, our feelings for each other are still there. It seems normal for such a thing to happen, doesn’t it?"

Su Mengxin chuckled lightly, "But by doing this, you’ve gotten yourself into a big trouble." In her heart, however, she was wondering how to resolve this mess in the future. She wasn’t a vile woman; since Yunzhu could only have this one child, naturally, it should be allowed to be born. But if she wanted to be with Li Yifei, other issues might be set aside, though she still had to help Li Yifei raise another child, which inevitably felt a bit awkward.

Li Yifei didn’t know what Su Mengxin was thinking. If he had, he probably wouldn’t have believed it. Su Mengxin not only had always liked him but was even thinking about how to arrange for him and another woman’s child—a thought process of an extraordinary woman that ordinary people would find incomprehensible.

Su Mengxin’s magnanimity and tolerance was what earned her recognition from many people. It was the same grandeur that made her subordinates loyal to her. She loved Li Yifei, wanted to be with him, and considered everything for Li Yifei. She wouldn’t fuss about anything Li Yifei did before her; all she wanted was the end result. Moreover, to live happily with Li Yifei in the future, she wouldn’t cause him more trouble. She was determined to help him resolve any past issues completely.

Before they reached home, Li Yifei received a call from an unknown number, slowing the car as he answered it.

"Is this... Mr. Li Yifei?" A man’s voice came from the other side.

Li Yifei responded, "Yes, it’s me. Who’s this?"

"I am Qin Handong, Mr. Li. I would like to know if you’re available right now. I would like to visit you," Qin Handong quickly became urgent, yet his tone was inexplicably respectful.

Li Yifei had actually forgotten about this Qin Handong, and only at this moment did he remember. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said, "What do you want to visit me for?"

"Mr. Li, this is all my fault. I admit my mistake, Mr. Li, I’m begging you, please let me off."

"Do you really know your mistake?" Li Yifei asked indifferently.

"Yes, yes, I really do. Mr. Li, please give me a chance."

Li Yifei then said, "Whether you get a chance or not will depend on whether Lianyao agrees."

"Mr. Li, then I..."

"Alright, find a place and then call me. We’ll meet there with Lianyao in an hour."

"Thank you, Mr. Li, thank you," Qin Handong kept thanking him profusely, while Li Yifei had already hung up.

Su Mengxin immediately said, "Don’t you dare leave me behind; I’m coming with you."

Li Yifei indeed had been planning to drop Su Mengxin off at home first, but seeing her insistence, he could only laugh and say, "Alright then, I’ll take you along."

"You can’t just ditch me if there’s something fun happening. I need a break. If I stay at home all day, I’ll really get bored."

Li Yifei felt Su Mengxin, in that moment, was like a mischievous and adorable girl, almost like Xu Shanshan. He found himself feeling closer to Su Mengxin, not just because she was the number one beauty of Huaxia, and he no longer felt the need to maintain a distance from her.

It took less than five minutes for Qin Handong to call Li Yifei back with a location—the Yiyun Clubhouse in Mile City. It was the best place around, and Qin Handong, now seeking a favor from Li Yifei, naturally didn’t dare to pick anywhere subpar.

Li Yifei called Li Xinyue, since he didn’t actually have Song Lianyao’s number, and then, after forty minutes, met with Li Xinyue and Qin Lianyao at the entrance of Yiyun Clubhouse.

"Li... Yifei!" Song Lianyao and Li Xinyue had arrived earlier than Li Yifei and were waiting at the entrance. When they saw Li Yifei get out of the car, they immediately came over from each side and grabbed his arms. They had wanted to call out "Young Master Li" but then remembered it wouldn’t be proper, so they quickly used his name instead.

By this time, Su Mengxin had also gotten out of the car and was leaning on the door, smiling and saying, "Tell me, Yifei, you’re really something, charming two of our company’s brand ambassadors into losing their wits."

Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao had only been focused on Li Yifei just then, not expecting that he would bring someone with him when asking them to come out. But when they turned their heads and saw Su Mengxin, they were shocked and quickly let go of Li Yifei’s arms.

Li Yifei laughed and said, "Alright, no need to be tense. I called you out today to have a good time."
