Chapter 468: Chapter 477 Stealthily

"Wasn’t Yiyi here?" After talking for a while, Xu Yingying suddenly asked about Su Yiyi.

Li Yifei coughed abruptly and said, "No, she knew you were coming, and she was too scared to stay."

Xu Yingying said coquettishly, "I’m not a man-eating tiger, why is she so afraid of me?"

"You are my legitimate wife, how could she not be afraid?" Li Yifei laughed awkwardly; when discussing Su Yiyi with Xu Yingying, he always felt he lacked confidence.

"It’s all your fault. I don’t know how you charmed that girl so much. Alright then, I’ll leave so Yiyi won’t be too afraid to come back."

Li Yifei hurriedly stood up and escorted Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan downstairs.

On the path in the residential area, Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan stopped and turned to look at Li Yifei. Li Yifei’s heart trembled; earlier, with Chu Xiaoyao present, Xu Yingying gave him face, but now was she going to make things difficult?

"Honey, when are you coming home?" Xu Yingying held Li Yifei’s hand, her eyes filled with yearning.

Li Yifei felt a stir in his heart and said, "I don’t know when Xiaoyao will recover."

"Then I’ll wait for you. Hurry back, I... miss you."

Xu Yingying could say such affectionate words, which made Li Yifei’s heart stir even more. He stretched out his arm and hugged Xu Yingying, saying, "Yingying, my good wife."

Xu Yingying hugged Li Yifei back, but only for a short while before gently pushing him away, saying, "Alright, don’t worry about things here. I’m glad you’re okay. Oh, and if there’s nothing to do during the day, you can go back to the company for work."

Li Yifei nodded and said, "I’ll talk to Xiaoyao and see if she’ll let me go out during the day."

Xu Yingying didn’t insist, nodded, and was about to leave when Xu Shanshan pouted and said, "Brother-in-law, I’ve been worried about you too, and you didn’t even hug me."

Li Yifei chuckled warmly, opened his arms generously, and said, "Come on, give me a hug."

Xu Shanshan giggled, walked over, and hugged Li Yifei, but naturally, she couldn’t embrace him tightly like Xu Yingying did. She just symbolically hugged Li Yifei but she was like a little seductress; even in this simple hug, she moved her body slightly, rubbing her chest against Li Yifei’s.

Seeing Li Yifei’s flustered expression, Xu Shanshan giggled, winked at him mischievously, and said, "Brother-in-law, I’m leaving. You better hurry back home. I haven’t eaten the food you cooked for days, and I’ve lost weight."

Li Yifei accepted his little sister-in-law’s antics and could only laugh, "Alright, once I’m back, I’ll make sure you gain some weight."

He watched Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan leave, both looking back every few steps, their longing plain to see. Li Yifei really wanted to go with them, cuddle his wife lovingly, and share some flirtations with his sister-in-law.

Back home, Su Yiyi was already there. However, when Li Yifei opened the door, her face was still pale. Only when she saw Li Yifei alone did she pat her chest in relief, that look of lingering fear made Li Yifei’s heart ache.

"Yiyi..."

Li Yifei was about to speak when Su Yiyi smiled at him and said, "Brother Li, why didn’t you go back with your wife?"

Chu Xiaoyao pulled Su Yiyi aside and said angrily, "Sister Yiyi, how can you be so foolish?"

Li Yifei smiled and said, "Your sister Yiyi isn’t foolish; it’s a great kind of love."

"Great love?" Chu Xiaoyao was somewhat confused and pouted, "Sister Yiyi is foolish. She could obviously make Uncle like her so much, yet she doesn’t want to be the legitimate wife. Now I can’t even rank as a mistress; I’m falling to fourth or fifth place."

Li Yifei laughed heartily and teased, "This girl has no ambition; all she wants is to be a mistress. Why don’t you aim to be the legitimate wife?"

Chu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes at Li Yifei and said, "If I wanted to be your wife, would you take me? Hmph, you don’t even want me as a mistress. To be your wife... you’d be scared away long ago."

Li Yifei, in a good mood today, playfully patted Chu Xiaoyao’s little bottom and said with a smile, "That might just be the case. Alright, it’s late. Let’s wash up and go to sleep."

Though Chu Xiaoyao didn’t talk much more that night, Li Yifei felt her hold him tighter as if afraid he would run away. He knew Xu Yingying’s arrival made Chu Xiaoyao anxious that he might leave her. Though this little girl seemed slightly better emotionally now, the hurt in her heart hadn’t healed; she was still afraid of losing the closest person around her again.

Li Yifei could only hold her tighter, placing his hand gently on her chest to assure her he wouldn’t leave, helping her slowly fall asleep.

Once Chu Xiaoyao fell soundly asleep, Li Yifei gently released her. Seeing no reaction from her and her breathing still steady, he turned softly towards Su Yiyi, hugged her into his arms, and kissed her lips.

Su Yiyi had been asleep, but Li Yifei’s kiss quickly woke her up. She instinctively responded, but soon stopped, touching Chu Xiaoyao as she embraced Li Yifei.

"Brother Li, we can’t... Xiaoyao is still here," Su Yiyi softly reminded Li Yifei.

Li Yifei whispered in return, "She’s asleep; it’s fine," his hand already caressing Su Yiyi.

The next day, Li Yifei went with Chu Xiaoyao to the cemetery. It had been seven days since her parents passed away. There was a custom here to visit the graves on the seventh day. Standing before her parents’ grave, tears flowed from Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes, while Li Yifei held her shoulder. At this moment, all he felt for Chu Xiaoyao was affection; this poor child reminded him of himself then, creating an empathetic bond in his heart.

"Dad, Mom, you’re gone, leaving me all alone. Xiaoyao really misses you... Dad, you messed around with women; if you hadn’t, and lived a good life with mom, how nice it would have been. Mom, you were really heartless; no matter how bad Dad was, you could have just divorced him. Why did you have to kill him and then yourself? Didn’t you think you still had a daughter?"

Though she grieved her parents’ passing, there was a bit of resentment in Chu Xiaoyao’s words. Both had acted too extremely. Listening to her, Li Yifei felt guilty; it was never his intention to fool around, but there were just too many women around him, he didn’t know when he could resolve all these emotional entanglements.

"Mom, although I hold some resentment towards you, for setting this up, I still thank you. You know I like Uncle, having him take care of me. Uncle is really nice to me, so don’t worry about me. I’ll always listen to Uncle and won’t make things difficult for him."

Li Yifei gently patted Chu Xiaoyao’s shoulder. Though she had been a little mischievous these days, Li Yifei felt she had matured significantly. One must go through certain experiences to grow, just as he did after losing his parents and trained intensely until he was selected into the Flying Hawk Squad.

"Dad, Mom, I’m leaving now. Rest peacefully, and if there’s another world, I hope you continue to love each other."

Walking down the cemetery’s path with Chu Xiaoyao, they reached a relatively narrow road. A car came speeding down from the hill, honking loudly from a distance.

Li Yifei didn’t think much of it, but Chu Xiaoyao, in her bad mood, snorted, "So annoying."

Li Yifei pulled Chu Xiaoyao aside, making way for the car. Unexpectedly, the car stopped suddenly after passing, then reversed back beside them.

The car door opened, and a young man in his twenties jumped out, dressed in casual attire. Though he looked average, his clothes seemed well-made, and the car was an Audi A4, indicating he might be quite well-off.

"Xiaoyao! It’s really you. I didn’t expect to see you here," the young man exclaimed excitedly, face flushed.

Chu Xiaoyao scrutinized the young man and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

"I’m Wu Jianye, a year ahead of you. We performed together at a school talent show."

Chu Xiaoyao seemed to not remember and smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I don’t recall."

"No problem, you never noticed me back then. I kept a low profile. But we’re schoolmates. I’m now at Capital City University, you must have finished the College Entrance Exam. Which school are you planning to attend?"

Wu Jianye mentioned Capital City University with pride, knowing it’s a renowned institution in Huaxia. Attending such a prestigious school was indeed a point of pride.

"I applied to Mile City University," Chu Xiaoyao replied plainly.

"What? Why did you choose such a school?" Wu Jianye exclaimed, then immediately felt awkward and said, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to look down on Mile City University. It’s close to home, after all. By the way, Xiaoyao, my dad gave me this car as a reward for getting into Capital City University. Want a ride?"

Chu Xiaoyao shook her head, hooked her arm around Li Yifei’s, and said, "Not interested. I’m going home."

Only then did Wu Jianye notice Li Yifei; in his excitement to see Chu Xiaoyao, he had overlooked the person standing beside her.
