Chapter 470: Chapter 480: Visiting My Daughter

"Boss, if that girl is refusing our investigation, she’s 100% your seed," came the voice over the phone, and Zheng Mingrui burst into laughter.

Li Yifei had already guessed that the girl was his daughter after getting information from Su Mengxin. Now, with Zheng Mingrui’s words, he had no doubt in his mind. He asked, "How is she doing now?"

"Your daughter is currently being taken care of by a young couple. The man’s name is Li Qiang, and the woman’s name is Yang Shuyao. Both are from Shanxi and studied at Capital Foreign Studies University. They are lovers and didn’t find jobs they liked after graduation, so they quit and now they dedicate all their time to taking care of your daughter. Sometimes, money is transferred to their bank account, but not frequently, and the remittance account isn’t fixed. However, it always ends up with Ning Xin’er."

No wonder Ning Xin’er was confident that Li Yifei wouldn’t be able to find her daughter. That woman was really quite scheming, using various methods even to remit money to the couple. Of course, others wouldn’t be able to track it down, but for the Flying Hawk Squad, it was too easy. However, Li Yifei had lost interest in this detail and said, "What about my daughter?"

"Our little princess is now three years and two months old. She just started kindergarten two months ago and is in class four. Her name is Li Yufei."

"What?" Li Yifei didn’t understand. Why did his daughter’s name sound like his?

"Heh, Ning Xin’er must still have deep feelings for you. Boss, you’re the boss, to have won over such a big star. Not only did she secretly have a daughter for you, but she also named her Yufei. ’Yu’ as in remembrance, and ’Fei’ as in self-deprecation. Isn’t that obviously her way of missing you?"

Li Yifei’s mind became a little chaotic at the moment. Ning Xin’er giving their daughter such a name wasn’t an act of hatred; otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen it. But he quickly rejected that thought. At the time, Ning Xin’er didn’t know his name, so it was really just a coincidence.

Yet, whenever Li Yifei thought of Ning Xin’er, he always felt extremely cautious, unable to really feel her goodness towards him.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiaoyao said to Li Yifei with a grin, "Uncle, are we going to pick up your daughter now?"

Li Yifei nodded and replied, "You heard it all."

"Yeah, I’m saying Boss Yifei, you’re too awesome. You have a daughter in Capital City, do you have any more in other places?"

Li Yifei coughed awkwardly and said, "There’s one that hasn’t been born yet."

"Really, you have another one?" Chu Xiaoyao immediately pouted and asked, "Is it Xu Yingying?"

"No, it’s Ye Yunzhu."

"Ye Yunzhu... Ah, Little Yue’s older cousin?"

"Yes, that’s her. She’s pregnant now."

Chu Xiaoyao blinked her big, furry eyes a few times and then suddenly said with a smile, "So Little Yue’s cousin is also your woman. Does that mean Little Yue should call you brother-in-law in the future?"

"That’s true... but..." Li Yifei really didn’t know how to handle his relationship with Ye Yunzhu in the future. He couldn’t marry Xu Yingying and then marry Ye Yunzhu, so whether Ye Yunzhu’s family would recognize him as a brother-in-law was still a big question.

Chu Xiaoyao didn’t bother with those complications and said with a grin, "So if I’m also your woman, and Little Yue is calling you brother-in-law already, what should she call me in the future?"

This question stumped Li Yifei for a moment. There seemed to be such dilemmas in ancient times, but he’d never read books of that sort. Even if there were such books, there was no guarantee they’d offer a clear answer.

"To call me sister-in-law seems incorrect, so what should it be?" Chu Xiaoyao was also frowning, looking puzzled.

Li Yifei knocked on Chu Xiaoyao’s head and said, "Stop letting your mind wander here. I have to go see my child."

At that moment, his phone rang, and he received several MMS messages. He opened them to find photos of Li Qiang and his wife, along with a picture of a little girl.

"Wow, she’s so cute! Ah, Uncle, she really looks like you," Chu Xiaoyao exclaimed loudly.

Looking at the photo of the little girl, Li Yifei immediately felt a sense of closeness. With her mushroom haircut and a face carved like jade, her big watery eyes were exactly like Ning Xin’er’s. But her face shape and ears were very much like his. Without a doubt, this was his daughter with Ning Xin’er, Li Yufei.

"Uncle, hurry and take me to see her. She’s your daughter, and she’s like mine too. I’m her stepmom, right? Aiyaya, I should always buy her gifts when I see her. What do you think I should buy for her?"

Chu Xiaoyao was agitated, scratching her head and turning in circles around the room.

Li Yifei suddenly snapped to attention; this was his precious daughter, after all. As a father, how could he meet his daughter without bringing a gift?

Usually, buying a gift wasn’t a big deal for Li Yifei, but because it was for his daughter, he suddenly had no idea what to give. Like Chu Xiaoyao, he became so anxious that he scratched his head and paced around the room in circles.

In the end, Li Yifei had no choice but to ask Chu Xiaoyao what she liked when she was young. With the newfound insight, the two bought a cloth doll costing over two thousand yuan and then headed to the kindergarten together.

Upon reaching the kindergarten gate, Li Yifei stopped in his tracks with a wry smile. His daughter was indeed inside this kindergarten, he knew which class she was in and what her name was, but how would the kindergarten know who he was? There was no way they would let him see his daughter.

The two could only wait outside, hoping to catch a glimpse of the child, but the children’s play area wasn’t visible from the entrance at all.

It was clear they wouldn’t be able to see the child here, and even if they went to his daughter’s home, they still wouldn’t be able to see her. Li Yifei and Chu Xiaoyao waited until around four o’clock before heading directly to the community where Ning Xin’er lived. However, it was a high-end community, and without access cards, they couldn’t enter. Li Yifei immediately called Li Qiang.

"Who is this?" Li Qiang asked politely.

"Hello, Ning Xin’er has sent me to deliver some money to you."

"Okay, I’ll come out right away."

Li Yifei had noticed that Ning Xin’er rarely transferred money to Li Qiang and supposed she mostly gave him cash, which is why he used that excuse, and Li Qiang indeed believed him immediately.

Soon, a man in his twenties came out from the community. He was quite tall, and handsome with a pair of black-framed glasses, looking around uncertainly as he stepped out.

Having already seen a photo of this Li Qiang, Li Yifei approached him at once, saying, "Hello, I’m Ning Xin’er’s new assistant."

Li Qiang immediately smiled and said, "Hello, hello."

With Li Qiang’s reaction, Li Yifei was sure about his identity, and a surge of excitement welled up inside him. Suppressing his emotions, he said with a smile, "Let’s talk inside. Ning Xin’er also asked me to take a couple of photos to bring back to her."

"Of course, of course, but the child is at kindergarten right now, my wife has gone to pick her up, she should be back soon," Li Qiang hurriedly replied.

"No problem, I’ll just wait in your house."

Li Qiang didn’t refuse, and led Li Yifei and Chu Xiaoyao to his home.

The house was a three-bedroom apartment with beautiful decorations. The first impression was like stepping into a fairy tale kingdom. Every aspect of the decor seemed to be for a child, which was odd. Generally, after a couple buys a house, they would decorate it to their taste. Even if there’s decorating done for the child, it would typically be just their room. But this home was entirely focused on the child, indicating the importance of the child was paramount.

Seeing the house, Li Yifei was quite pleased; at least he felt Ning Xin’er had not treated his daughter poorly.

Li Qiang’s wife wasn’t at home, just Li Qiang who warmly gestured for them to take a seat and brought them water, then sat beside Li Yifei saying, "We’ve always treated Yufei well. Whatever she needs, we provide it. You can see, everything here was prepared for Yufei."

"Hmm, it is nice, I will tell Ning Xin’er about it. May I take a look at the child’s room now?"

"Absolutely," Li Qiang quickly agreed, viewing Li Yifei as Ning Xin’er’s assistant who had come to inspect how Li Yufei was being cared for.

Upon entering the daughter’s room, Li Yifei was struck speechless, while Chu Xiaoyao stood there agape. As a girl herself, she always liked to decorate her room, but this room’s decor was even more childlike, with a variety of toys that were dazzling, almost like a toy store.

Li Yifei took out his cellphone and pretended to take a few pictures, loitered around for a bit, until finally, the door was opened. Both Li Yifei and Chu Xiaoyao’s gazes immediately fixated on the doorway.

A young woman walked in, holding a little girl’s hand. The woman was fashionably dressed and seemed pretty, but Li Yifei barely glanced at her. His eyes were locked on the little girl with eyes just like Ning Xin’er’s – his daughter, flesh of his flesh.

"Wife," Li Qiang quickly said, "this is Miss Ning’s assistant, here to see Yufei."

Li Qiang’s wife Yang Shuyao uttered an "oh" and then said with confusion, "Assistant? Why isn’t Miss Ning back yet? She just called, said she’d be back soon. She’s not back, so why would her assistant be here?"

At that moment, Li Qiang turned his questioning gaze to Li Yifei, who was still staring at his daughter, paying no attention to their conversation, and completely unaware that they had started to doubt him.
