Chapter 471: Chapter 481 Ning Xin’er’s Request

"Who the hell are you?" Li Qiang, seeing Li Yifei staring straight at Li Yufei, suddenly became tense. He leaped up and blocked the front of his wife and Li Yufei, loudly questioning Li Yifei.

Only then did Li Yifei snap back to reality and said, "I’m Ning Xin’er’s assistant, aren’t I?"

Li Qiang, protecting his wife and Li Yufei, took a couple of steps back and said with a heavy voice, "What assistant? Ning Xin’er just called and said she was coming back. If you’re her assistant, you should have come back with her."

Li Yifei hadn’t heard the conversation between the two earlier and didn’t expect to be exposed so quickly. Chu Xiaoyao burst out laughing and said, "You’ve been found out."

Li Yifei rubbed his nose and said, "So quickly found out, then forget it. You mentioned Ning Xin’er is coming back, so I’ll just wait here for her. I have something I need to discuss with her anyway." Then he turned his gaze back to his daughter.

At this moment, the little girl wasn’t afraid at all. She peeked her head from behind Li Qiang’s legs, curiously sizing up Li Yifei. Li Yifei, meanwhile, took a large doll from Chu Xiaoyao’s arms and said, "Yufei, this is for you, do you like it?"

Li Yufei blinked her big eyes and pouted her lips, saying, "Like it."

"Then it’s yours," Li Yifei said with a beaming smile, pushing the doll forward.

"No! Mom and Dad said not to take things from strangers," Li Yufei shook her head and said in her babyish voice, which was indescribably sweet.

A tremor went through Li Yifei’s heart. He was the child’s father, but his own daughter was calling someone else ’Daddy’. That feeling was really hard to swallow.

By this time, Yang Shuyao had gotten through to Ning Xin’er on the phone and anxiously said, "Miss Ning, someone claiming to be your assistant is at our place right now."

Ning Xin’er was startled when she heard this and urgently said, "No, I definitely didn’t send any assistant over there. You must protect Yufei."

"Alright, then you’d better come quickly, otherwise I’ll have to call the police."

Ning Xin’er was about to respond when suddenly, a voice came through the receiver, a voice she could never forget. She shouted excitedly, "Is the person there Li Yifei?"

Yang Shuyao didn’t know Li Yifei’s name yet and nudged Li Qiang, asking, "What’s his name?"

Li Qiang hadn’t asked, but Li Yifei said with a smile, "My name is Li Yifei. You can tell Ning Xin’er."

Yang Shuyao immediately relayed to Ning Xin’er on the phone, "He says his name is Li Yifei."

"That bastard, you don’t need to be scared, he won’t hurt you. I’ll be back soon, have him wait there," Ning Xin’er said.

Having received Ning Xin’er’s instructions, Li Qiang and Yang Shuyao finally relaxed, but they still watched Li Yifei warily. They had always been responsible for taking care of Li Yufei. Over the years, Ning Xin’er had treated them well, giving them a lot of money, much more than they would have made working elsewhere. So they had worked diligently and earnestly, and now with Li Yifei’s identity unclear, they didn’t dare to be careless. They feared that any harm to the child would mean the end of their fortunate situation.

Less than twenty minutes passed, and there was a knock on the door. Yang Shuyao hurried over and quickly opened it. Ning Xin’er dashed in, glaring at Li Yifei, and demanded, "What are you doing here?"

Li Yifei gave a slight smile and replied, "I’m here to see the child."

"This is Li Qiang and Yang Shuyao’s child, what’s there for you to see? Just get out," Ning Xin’er said as she began to pull Li Yifei’s arm to drag him outside.

Li Yifei didn’t struggle and allowed Ning Xin’er to pull him out of the house, meanwhile, Chu Xiaoyao stood by looking stunned. Although Li Yifei said he was there to see his daughter, he hadn’t said that she was the child he had with Ning Xin’er, the big celebrity. Although she had heard Li Yifei mention Ning Xin’er’s name, she had never connected this Ning Xin’er with the famous celebrity Ning Xin. To the public, Ning Xin’er was a sweet little sister, scandal-free. She couldn’t fathom that Ning Xin’er, the star, had already had a child, and with the older man she admired no less.

"Ning Xin’er, let’s talk at your place," Li Yifei said, after coming outside, staring at Ning Xin’er.

Ning Xin’er pursed her lips and retorted, "You want to talk to me now? Do you want me?"

"Can’t we sit down and have a proper talk?" Li Yifei’s demeanor was surprisingly amiable. Seeing his own daughter and knowing that Ning Xin’er was her mother, his aversion towards Ning Xin’er had lessened considerably.

Pleased by Li Yifei’s attitude, Ning Xin’er gave him a white look, turned on her heel, and went to the door next door. She took out her keys and unlocked the door.

Li Yifei also followed inside, but just as he was about to close the door, Chu Xiaoyao rushed over, saying loudly, "Wait, wait, uncle, wait for me."

Li Yifei stopped in his tracks and waited for Chu Xiaoyao to enter before finally closing the door.

Ning Xin’er frowned slightly and said, "Well, well, you’ve got a new love interest, and she’s so young too."

Chu Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, not expecting Ning Xin’er to say such harsh words. It was clear that Ning Xin’er was extremely jealous, which excited Chu Xiaoyao even more. She never thought that one day a big star like Ning Xin’er would be jealous of her.

With a giggle, Chu Xiaoyao said to Ning Xin’er, "Ning Xin’er, I’m actually a fan of yours. I really couldn’t believe that you had a child with uncle. I’m so thrilled."

After Chu Xiaoyao said this, Ning Xin’er was not in a good position to lose her temper at Chu Xiaoyao. Instead, she felt somewhat embarrassed and said, "Don’t believe his nonsense. That’s not true."

Excited, Chu Xiaoyao stepped closer to Ning Xin’er, somewhat flustered, she said, "Ning Xin’er, we all saw uncle and your daughter already. She is so pretty, with eyes like yours, and her nose and mouth like uncle’s. It’s definitely undeniable, congratulations! This is so wonderful. Now it means I’ll often see you and can even talk to you! Hee hee, Little Yue always says she gets to see big celebrities, but now, a big star like you is a part of our family. That’s just so amazing."

Having grown accustomed to her fans’ incoherent babbling, Ning Xin’er couldn’t help but feel a sense of closeness to Chu Xiaoyao as she asked, "What do you mean by ’a part of the family’?"

Chu Xiaoyao immediately puffed out her chest and said, "I’m uncle’s mistress. Since you’ve had a child with uncle, we’re naturally a family now."

Ning Xin’er was suddenly at a loss for words. What kind of logic was this? Annoyed, she looked at Li Yifei and said, "You’re something else, even going after such a young girl."

Li Yifei let out a dry laugh and said, "Xiaoyao just likes to stir up trouble. Xiaoyao, go sit over there. I have something to discuss with Ning Xin’er."

"Okay!" Chu Xiaoyao quickly agreed eagerly and took a seat obediently. Her eyes roamed around Ning Xin’er’s home; she had never imagined visiting a celebrity’s home before. The excitement was incredible.

Ning Xin’er sat with her arms crossed, her left leg resting on her right knee, and glanced sideways at Li Yifei. "You’ve been avoiding me all this time. What now? You want to talk to me about what?"

Li Yifei smiled faintly and said, "Xin’er, I came to see our daughter. You can’t deprive me of my rights as a father."

Ning Xin’er snorted and replied, "As I said, she’s not my daughter. She belongs to someone else. Why are you randomly claiming her?"

"Denial is useless. I’ve already investigated, Li Qiang and Yang Shuyao have never had a child. This child is ours."

Ning Xin’er gave Li Yifei a glare but didn’t deny it anymore. Li Yifei had seen their daughter, so how could he not recognize her?

Li Yifei coughed lightly, then said, "Here’s what I think. You are a star and it’s inconvenient for you to take care of our daughter. But as her father, I don’t have much on my plate. It would be better for our daughter if I took care of her personally."

"No way!" Ning Xin’er glared fiercely at Li Yifei and said, "She was born to you yet you never cared for her a single day. Do you know the struggles I went through to raise her to this age? And you think you can just take her away with a simple word? Absolutely not."

Li Yifei hastily waved his hands, "You’re misunderstanding, Xin’er. I don’t intend to snatch her away. After all, a child should be cared for by her biological father. If you were raising her yourself, I would never take her. But Li Qiang and Yang Shuyao are not her biological parents. No matter how good they are to her, they miss out on the kind of innate warmth that only real parents can provide. It’s just their job, and that’s not good for our daughter’s future development."

Ning Xin’er’s mouth twitched, but she still shook her head and said, "That still doesn’t work. You haven’t spent a day with our daughter; she doesn’t even know you. How can she adapt if you take her away?"

Li Yifei was taken aback, realizing that Ning Xin’er made a good point. To his daughter, he was a stranger. To get his daughter to recognize him would take a very long time to adjust. He wanted to take his daughter back to care for her properly, not to cause her more harm.

"If you really want to live with our daughter, that’s easy. Just agree to one condition, and I’ll let her live with you right away," Ning Xin’er said with a grin.

Li Yifei was initially overjoyed, but knowing Ning Xin’er’s personality, he had an inkling of what she was about to propose and his heart sank, "Xin’er, you’re not suggesting that I should live with you guys again, are you?"

Ning Xin’er lifted her chin and said, "Exactly, that’s what I mean. If you want our daughter, then the three of us should live together. Didn’t you also say it would be healthy for the child to have both parents around? It’s the only way she can be happy. Otherwise, how can she be happy?"

This left Li Yifei in a dilemma. At that moment, Chu Xiaoyao, filled with urgency, ran to Li Yifei’s side, grabbed his arm, and shook it vigorously, saying, "Uncle, please agree quickly!"
