Chapter 442: Chapter 449: Shadows of the Past

Ning Xin’er instinctively took a step back. She had managed to remain pure in the entertainment industry all these years because she always kept to herself, never feigning interest in any man. Even though she had been involved with Li Yifei and her feelings for him were unclear, Li Yifei’s sudden advance was too much for her to accept.

"It’s been many years since we’ve seen each other. Now you’re a big star. Having a star as a woman must be quite nice," Li Yifei said as he stepped towards Ning Xin’er, extending his arm to embrace her.

Ning Xin’er jumped in fright and took a large step back, holding her hands up in front of her chest, angrily shouting, "Don’t touch me!"

"What’s the matter?" Li Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "Didn’t you always say you liked me? That you had a child for me because of that affection? Now that I want to touch you, you won’t even let me?"

Ning Xin’er was stunned for a moment, then glared at Li Yifei fiercely, "So you think you can touch me whenever you want? Where were you, bastard, when I needed you? All these years, I’ve suffered so much, did you ever care about me? You just want to take advantage of me, dream on!"

Li Yifei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fine, if you don’t want to be touched, that’s that. No need to make so many excuses. I’m going to sleep." Then he headed for the interior of the two-story building.

Ning Xin’er stood still for about ten seconds, watching Li Yifei’s retreating figure, then suddenly stamped her foot fiercely and called out, "You bastard, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. You’re just trying to scare me, huh! To wheedle out my daughter’s whereabouts from me, well, you can forget about it."

Li Yifei’s steps paused slightly. He harbored significant doubt about whether his child was still alive, but Ning Xin’er’s words made him somewhat believe it. Ning Xin’er had spoken the words "my daughter" very naturally, and with a protective tone. If it hadn’t been for a mother, it would not have been so. At least, Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan couldn’t say it, and although Ye Yunzhu was only recently pregnant, the glow of motherhood had already begun to show.

The two-story building looked ordinary from the outside, but upon entering, Li Yifei found it to be a world of its own. A large living room housed an expansive set of leather sofas. The light-colored leather wasn’t exactly luxurious, but it brought a lively atmosphere to the hall. Paired with some green shrubs in the living room, it made the space feel vibrant. It was clear that the decorator must be young.

"How about it? Nice, isn’t it?" Ning Xin’er sat down on the sofa gracefully.

Seeing Ning Xin’er’s smug look, Li Yifei knew this was her home. He immediately curled his lip and said, "You really have no taste. White sofas are not high-end at all. You should’ve bought dark-colored ones, and you also need a big crystal chandelier overhead. That’s how you show status."

Ning Xin’er rolled her eyes at Li Yifei, "You can’t possibly be that tasteless. That’s the decoration style of nouveau riche. I like this kind of fresh and clean vibe."

"You still like fresh and clean? You’re not getting any younger. I remember you’re almost thirty, right?"

"Bastard, I’m a year younger than you," Ning Xin’er immediately flared up, offended by Li Yifei’s suggestion that she was nearly thirty.

Li Yifei chuckled, "So you are twenty-five, huh? Round it up, and that’s almost thirty."

Ning Xin’er was stunned, then froze, a surge of anger rising within her. She had been only twenty-one when she met Li Yifei, and now in the blink of an eye, she was already twenty-five. Grinding her teeth, she said, "You have the nerve to say that, you wasted my youth."

"Aren’t you a big star? Even Andy Lau had a secret wedding. Even if you were married now, you couldn’t admit it. What wasted?" Li Yifei said as he lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, and casually flicked ash onto the floor.

"Ah! Bastard, that’s my new Persian carpet down there!" Ning Xin’er’s eyes went green, and she yelled.

Li Yifei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, that’s your fault for not having an ashtray ready."

"How was I supposed to know a bastard like you would be here? I live here alone, why would I prepare an ashtray?" Ning Xin’er retorted while she grabbed a can of soda, poured out the contents, and handed the empty can to Li Yifei, "Flick it in here."

Li Yifei took it, "That’s more like it. As a woman, you should learn to serve a man."

"Serve your big head ghost," Ning Xin’er glared at Li Yifei, cursing him inwardly. How did this bastard become so shameless?

"Ah! No, that’s not right. This guy isn’t shameless, he’s obviously provoking me. I won’t fall for it," thought Ning Xin’er, who was quite clever. She swiftly figured out Li Yifei’s intention. Realizing this, a smile spread across her face, "Hey, stop pretending. No matter how much you pretend, you can’t fool me. You should be asking me why I live here alone. Why didn’t I bring my daughter over?"

Li Yifei, caught by Ning Xin’er’s perception, simply sat up and met her gaze. "Ning Xin’er, I just want to ask you one thing. Is my daughter alive?"

"Of course she’s alive! She’s flesh from my own body, how could I bear to kill her?" Ning Xin’er gave Li Yifei a big eye roll.

Li Yifei nodded, "That’s all I needed to hear. Just take good care of her."

"What do you mean? You don’t want this daughter anymore?" Ning Xin’er’s eyes immediately widened.

Li Yifei shrugged his shoulders and said, "I’m not ready to be a dad yet, so I’ll pass for now. Having you as a mom to take care of her is definitely better than having a dad who suddenly pops up out of nowhere."

"Hmph, you don’t have to put on this carefree act. I know you still want this daughter. Your behavior that day totally gave you away. You were so eager to take the daughter from me in front of your wife; that was your true intention."

"Alright, I admit it, when I suddenly found out I had a daughter, I was indeed very excited. But you should also know that because of you, my wife has kicked me out, and I’m homeless now. How can I have the mood to care for a daughter? I might be jobless soon and then what? Should my daughter join me in enjoying the Northwest wind?"

"You’re going to be that miserable? That’s a joke. With your capability, it’s too easy for you to make money. Look at yourself... Li Yifei, hmph, what a lousy name you chose before, ’Shuai Mingsheng.’ I truly despise you." Ning Xin’er sneered before continuing, "It’s good that your wife kicked you out. Just sweet-talk me into a good mood, and I may shelter you."

"I don’t need your charity. You’re a witch. Being with you, I wouldn’t even know when there would be a spider or something in my bed..."

Ning Xin’er burst into laughter and said flirtatiously, "You still remember, huh? After you bullied me and then gave me the cold shoulder, how could I not retaliate?"

Li Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "So you wanted to burn me to death?"

Ning Xin’er stuck out her tongue and replied, "It was an accident, okay? I saw you enter the warehouse, and I just locked you in there. I only wanted to create some smoke outside to scare you, but somehow I ended up starting a fire."

It was only then that Li Yifei realized the true story behind that incident, he couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, saying, "That was a bit too extreme."

"Hehe, but think about it, when you came out, it was really funny. Your hair was singed, your face was black with soot, and the funniest part was your pants had burned through at the back, exposing your charred behind, haha... it was too hilarious."

Li Yifei rubbed his nose, he had never been this disheveled in front of his formidable opponents, but with Meng Xiaofei, Xu Shanshan, and especially with Ning Xin’er, he had been.

"Hey, did it leave a scar on your butt?" Ning Xin’er kicked Li Yifei playfully, a mischievous smile on her face.

"Do you want to check?" Li Yifei squinted at Ning Xin’er.

Meeting Li Yifei’s gaze, Ning Xin’er suddenly nodded, "Of course, I do. You’re my daughter’s father; why would I be scared to see your butt?"

"Really want to see?" Li Yifei’s gaze grew lecherous.

"I want to see!" Ning Xin’er involuntarily dodged his gaze but still nodded her head.

Li Yifei stood up and reached for his belt buckle.

Ning Xin’er watched Li Yifei with a mix of nervousness and excitement, her breathing sped up involuntarily, and her chest heaved. Although not exceptionally large, her breasts were well-shaped, and their rise and fall at that moment were truly distracting.

Having grown a lot over these years, Ning Xin’er was now a big star. When she wasn’t angry at or opposing Li Yifei, she was a sweet beauty who could make any man’s heart race.

Such a beauty eagerly waiting for you to undress; that was an intense temptation. Even if Li Yifei didn’t feel much for Ning Xin’er, he found his mouth dry and his heartbeat quickening.

"Hey, are you going to undress or what?" Ning Xin’er teased Li Yifei with a wink and a laugh, "There’s only the two of us here, our daughter’s parents. What’s there to be embarrassed about?"

Li Yifei gave a sly smile and suddenly said, "I’ll take a shower first. If you’re so eager, why don’t you come to the bathroom to get an eyeful?"

Without waiting for an answer, Li Yifei sprinted into a room next to the first floor, having already identified it as the bathroom when he came in.

Ning Xin’er stomped her foot, realizing she had been teased by Li Yifei again, yet a smile spread across her face. Li Yifei’s mischief reminded her of the old Li Yifei, and it felt endearingly familiar.
