Chapter 469: Chapter 479: Return to the Capital City again

"Sorry, I’m Chu Xiaoyao’s high school classmate. My father is Wu Ziqiang, the chairman of New Flight Company," Wu Jianye said to Li Yifei, noticing that he looked somewhat older, definitely an adult, but not too old, making it unclear to him what Li Yifei’s relationship with Chu Xiaoyao was. So, he took the initiative to introduce himself, and even specifically mentioned his father, as if everyone should recognize his father’s name.

Li Yifei didn’t oppose boys pursuing Chu Xiaoyao, but Wu Jianye was just average-looking, and although his family seemed well-off, someone who constantly dropped their father’s name, even if they were good in their studies, probably wouldn’t make it big. Plus, Chu Xiaoyao clearly wasn’t into this kid, so Li Yifei simply smiled faintly and said, "Oh, I don’t know him."

Normally, upon hearing Li Yifei’s response, people would drop the topic, but Wu Jianye wore an incredulous look and said, "You actually don’t know my dad? Our New Flight Company is one of the top ten enterprises in Mile City, with assets almost reaching ten billion, and my dad is even a member of the People’s Congress."

Li Yifei found it amusing and said, "Then I still don’t know him. Alright, you’re busy, Xiaoyao and I are leaving."

"But... but... sir, I still don’t know your name," said Wu Jianye as he hurried after them, noticing that Chu Xiaoyao seemed to listen to Li Yifei and wanting to engage in conversation with him.

Chu Xiaoyao was already impatient and said, "This is my husband. Is there something you need?"

"Hus... husband?" Wu Jianye’s mouth gaped open as if it could fit a goose egg, though honestly, considering the size of his mouth, an egg would probably be more fitting.

Seeing Wu Jianye’s stunned expression gave Chu Xiaoyao a sense of triumph. She tilted her head and leaned on Li Yifei’s shoulder, blissfully saying, "Yeah, this is my husband. We’re already living together."

Wu Jianye’s eyes bulged even wider, and after a long pause, he said, "You... Xiaoyao, how is that possible?"

Chu Xiaoyao batted her eyelids and said, "Why not? I’ve always liked older men, and Uncle hits the spot, so I moved in with him."

Wu Jianye shook his head and suddenly chuckled, saying, "Xiaoyao, you’re still so fond of joking. Haha, this must be your cousin, right?"

Li Yifei saw Chu Xiaoyao’s face turn gloomy and nearly burst into laughter, while Chu Xiaoyao glared at him and snapped, "What cousin? This is my husband!"

Wu Jianye looked even more smug and said assuredly, "Alright, alright, let’s say he is. Xiaoyao, where are you two heading? Can I give you a lift?"

"We’re not sitting! Who wants your crappy car?" Chu Xiaoyao snorted. Her family had a car, one that her father previously owned, worth only about two hundred thousand, but Li Yifei used to drive Porsches and Mercedes, so to her, an Audi A4 was a pretty good car for others, but not something she valued.

"Xiaoyao, maybe there’s a misunderstanding. I admit I’ve always been fond of you, but I’ve only wanted to pursue you earnestly, with no other bad intentions. My family may be rich, but I’m no wastrel, right? You’re about to go to university, and you have the right and freedom to be in a relationship. I’m sure this... your husband wouldn’t mind, right?" Wu Jianye said.

Li Yifei found it entertaining. This guy called him as such and turned around to pursue Chu Xiaoyao while asking whether he minded. This guy might not be a wastrel, but he really was pretty dense.

Chu Xiaoyao gave Wu Jianye a contemptuous look and said, "That’s none of my concern. I’m not the least bit interested in you. And you’re asking my husband for permission to chase me? You really are thick-skinned. If it weren’t for my husband’s good temper, he would have slapped you by now."

Wu Jianye’s face turned red, but still, with a forced smile, he said, "Don’t be like that, Xiaoyao. Look, we haven’t seen each other for so long, and I just got back and saw you. Doesn’t that mean we’re destined? Give me a chance, will you? I’m an only child, and someday the New Flight Company will be mine. Think about it, you could be the lady of the New Flight Company."

"Will you ever stop?" Chu Xiaoyao shouted, stamping her foot in frustration at Wu Jianye’s brazenness.

"No, no, don’t be angry. I’ll leave first, and I’ll call you later," Wu Jianye retreated quickly, seeing Chu Xiaoyao’s anger, and then jumped into his car, "Xiaoyao, you’re the one I like, Wu Jianye, and I’ll surely win you over."

"Asshole!" Chu Xiaoyao bent down to pick up a stone and threw it at Wu Jianye’s car.

Wu Jianye stepped on the gas, and the car sped away, fortunately not being hit by Chu Xiaoyao’s stone. After driving off, his face turned dark, and his eyes glinted ominously as he sneered, "You little brat, my liking you gives you face. You’re pulling this stunt on me? The woman I, Wu Jianye, set my eyes on, can’t escape so easily."

This Wu Jianye, although he seemed a bit foolish before, now appeared quite sinister. This kid was certainly not simple; hiding his true intentions so well, he was likely one of the best among his peers, and even those who have lived for many years probably can’t match his cunning.

Wu Jianye left, and Li Yifei couldn’t help laughing out loud. Chu Xiaoyao immediately scolded, "Uncle, what are you laughing at? Someone wants to pursue your wife, and you still laugh."

"Hehe, I was just finding that kid quite amusing."

"Amusing my foot! He’s so annoying. Next time you see him, just drive him away. I’m so frustrated with it all! Humph, don’t think for a moment I don’t see what you’re plotting. You just want me to get swept off my feet by someone else and then leave you, don’t you? Well, forget it. Even if he comes with mountains of gold and silver and is handsomer than those big stars, I wouldn’t give him a glance. I only like you, Uncle."

"I didn’t mean that at all. Xiaoyao, you’ve been so kind to me, how could I not understand that?" Li Yifei said with a smile, wrapping an arm around Chu Xiaoyao’s shoulder. "Let’s go, shall we? Let’s go shopping today and buy you some more things. In a few days, we can head out for a trip."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaoyao’s mood immediately lifted, and she urged Li Yifei to walk faster while holding onto his arm.

"Uncle, are you burdened with worries?" After some shopping, Chu Xiaoyao tilted her head and pouted at Li Yifei.

"Not at all..." Li Yifei was somewhat insincere.

"Uncle, I’m not forcing you. If you don’t like it, then we can just go home, or we can do whatever you like, okay?"

"Xiaoyao..." Li Yifei hesitated for a moment, then said, "I want to take a trip to the Capital City."

"Ah? What for? How long will you be gone?" Chu Xiaoyao immediately grabbed Li Yifei’s arm, her face filled with anxiety.

Li Yifei forced a smile and replied, "Then let’s forget about it."

Chu Xiaoyao’s lips curled into a pout as she said, "Then you go, Uncle. I know you’re worried I won’t like it, concerned that I’ll be sad without you. But really, you don’t need to worry so much, Xiaoyao is not that weak."

"Alright, stop being brave. What if I said I’m taking you with me, would you come?" Li Yifei patted Chu Xiaoyao’s shoulder. After all, he was going to see his daughter, and taking Chu Xiaoyao along wasn’t a big deal, so he decided to go check it out.

Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes brightened instantly, and she said joyfully, "Oh yes, yes! Uncle, why didn’t you say so earlier? I thought you were going to leave me at home."

"Hehe... If I really left you at home, you’d probably be crying every day, wouldn’t you?" Li Yifei said affectionately as he pinched Chu Xiaoyao’s nose.

"I... definitely would," Chu Xiaoyao giggled.

The following morning, Li Yifei and Chu Xiaoyao had already set foot in the Capital City. Chu Xiaoyao had been to the Capital City before, but that was when she traveled there with her parents, following a tour group. It was a rushed visit, not as leisurely as it was now.

Moreover, being alone with Li Yifei made it even more exciting for her. As for what they were doing there, she didn’t much care. As long as she could be with Li Yifei, nothing else mattered.

Li Yifei was all too familiar with every aspect of Capital City. Although he wasn’t from there, during his missions, he knew every street and household inside and out. Having left Capital City only half a year ago, the city hadn’t changed much, and everything was much the same as when he left.

Li Yifei exhaled softly, frowning at the air quality of Capital City, which seemed much worse than that of Mile City. Even though this metropolis was far more bustling—a comparison Mile City couldn’t hold a candle to—the air quality simply couldn’t match that of Mile City. This was one of the main reasons Li Yifei disliked the Capital City.

The address Su Mengxin had given him was already etched in his mind, and he was eager to see it for himself. However, he still reined in his impatience. Before he could get a clear picture, he needed to do some investigating; otherwise, a misunderstanding could be embarrassing and potentially cause unnecessary trouble.

First, he found a hotel for Chu Xiaoyao and himself. There was no need to skimp, so they stayed in a five-star hotel and even shared a double room. Since they lived together at home, there was no point in pretending otherwise when abroad.

Once settled in, Li Yifei made a phone call to Zheng Mingrui. Although Su Mengxin was influential, her main strength lay in her powerful background and personal abilities. For actual tasks, Su Mengxin couldn’t compare to the Flying Hawk Squad. Especially in terms of investigations, she fell short of Zheng Mingrui.
