Chapter 472: Chapter 482: Forming Factions

"This..." Li Yifei naturally knew that for the sake of the child, living with Ning Xin’er seemed appropriate, but now it wasn’t just about the child, there was also the issue of being with Ning Xin’er. He always felt that being with Ning Xin’er was a rather terrifying prospect, and there were also Xu Yingying, and right, the pregnant Ye Yunzhu.

"Uncle, how can you be so silly? Sister Xin’er is a big star, the dream goddess of countless men. Now that she’s with you, it’s such a lucky thing. Yet you still won’t agree, it’s really infuriating,"

Xiaoyao was now somewhat exasperated, vigorously shaking Li Yifei’s arm, urging him to agree.

Ning Xin’er pursed her lips and said, "This guy is so heartless, claiming it’s for his daughter’s sake but he doesn’t want to give up at all. He’s just a selfish ghost."

Li Yifei sighed and meeting Ning Xin’er’s gaze, said, "Xin’er, I’m not being selfish, it’s just that I’m truly in a tough position. I won’t hide it from you, Xu Yingying is currently my legal wife, Ye Yunzhu is also pregnant with my child, and then there’s Yiyi, who has always given to me selflessly. I can’t repay their kindness, and I don’t know how to choose. Being with you is for your and your daughter’s sake, but what about them? What should I do?"

Ning Xin’er snorted. She knew about Xu Yingying and Ye Yunzhu, but she didn’t know about Su Yiyi. Now that another one popped up, it made her mood even worse.

"Uncle...there’s also me," Xiaoyao, having heard Li Yifei mention those three women’s names, had been looking expectantly at Li Yifei the whole time. But after he finished talking about those three, he didn’t mention anyone else, and her eyes immediately turned red with grievance.

"Right! There’s also Xiaoyao. I can’t just abandon Xiaoyao either," Li Yifei’s heart skipped a beat as he realized the girl was very sensitive at that moment, and he couldn’t upset her. He quickly reached out and patted her on the head.

That brought a smile to Xiaoyao’s face, and she hugged Li Yifei’s arm tightly, sweetly saying, "I knew Uncle wouldn’t abandon me."

Ning Xin’er glared at Li Yifei and said, "Suit yourself, but my daughter and I are one. If you want her, you have to take me as well. If you don’t want me, then don’t bother with my daughter. I won’t let her become a child without a mother."

Li Yifei had anticipated Ning Xin’er would say this, and now he spoke seriously, "Xin’er, I know this seems like the best solution, setting aside others, the main point is whether the two of us are really compatible. If we really get together, it’ll be as husband and wife living our lives, and it won’t be as simple as acting on righteousness."

Ning Xin’er immediately said excitedly, "How do you know we’re not compatible? Do you just think I have a bad temper? I told you, it was all to get your attention. After all the suffering you’ve put me through, and when I finally see you, you won’t even let me be angry? If we end up together, I will treat you well naturally. I can do laundry, I can cook, and I’ll make sure both you and my daughter are well cared for."

Chu Xiaoyao immediately chimed in anxiously, "Yes, Uncle, you’ve got to give it a try to know, right? Maybe Sister Xin’er is perfect for you, you two could be really affectionate together, couldn’t you? You can’t judge things with the same old mindset. I used to be very naughty, but look at me now, aren’t I well-behaved?"

Ning Xin’er gave Chu Xiaoyao another look, truly puzzled by this young girl. From the closeness she observed between Chu Xiaoyao and Li Yifei, it seemed they had a significant relationship, yet Xiaoyao didn’t try to monopolize Li Yifei. She even encouraged him to be with Ning Xin’er. Regardless, Chu Xiaoyao’s support left a very good impression on her.

For Chu Xiaoyao, the thought of fighting to be Li Yifei’s wife hadn’t crossed her mind. As long as she could be with Li Yifei, it didn’t matter to her whom he married. Xu Yingying’s presence was rather intimidating, and since Xiaoyao shared nothing in common with a company CEO like her, naturally, she supported Li Yifei being with Ning Xin’er. Plus, by helping Xin’er like this, it might mean that if Xiaoyao were with Li Yifei in the future, Xin’er would probably not get angry. The girl sure had some crafty ideas.

However, Chu Xiaoyao’s words had indeed got through to Li Yifei. Keeping Ning Xin’er hanging like this, and seeing her not giving up, might as well truly be with her for a while. Letting Ning Xin’er realize on her own that they weren’t suitable would naturally lead her to back off. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Okay, I agree to it."

Ning Xin’er looked at Li Yifei in surprise and said, "You really agree?"

Li Yifei smiled faintly and replied, "I agree, but I have one condition."

Ning Xin’er said excitedly, "Name it! As long as you agree to be with me, I will agree to anything."

At this point, Li Yifei felt somewhat guilty, he sighed and said, "Xin’er, I agree to be with you, but you can’t interfere with my freedom, the freedom I speak of... you understand, right?"

Ning Xin’er frowned slightly, then glared at Li Yifei and retorted, "You sure know how to plan ahead, keeping an eye on the pot while eating from your bowl and staring at the jug, huh? It’s just that you can’t let go of your wife and that Ye Yunzhu, isn’t it? Don’t worry, I, Ning Xin’er, am not the least bit intimidated by them. As long as you treat me well, I believe you will eventually let them go."

Chu Xiaoyao, at this moment, cautiously said to Ning Xin’er, "Sister Xin’er, could you please not make Uncle dump me?"

Ning Xin’er was feeling quite pleased at the moment, as Li Yifei had finally agreed to be with her and to take care of their daughter together – something she had long hoped for. She glanced at Chu Xiaoyao and then at Li Yifei and asked, "What’s going on with her?"

Li Yifei, finding the situation quite awkward and seeing Xiaoyao’s pitiable expression, didn’t have the heart to be harsh and could only say, "Xiaoyao really likes me and has always wanted to be with me."

Chu Xiaoyao immediately grasped Ning Xin’er’s hand, gently shook it, and said weakly, "Sister Xin’er, I really like Uncle so much, I can’t be without him or I’ll die. If you and Uncle are together, I won’t cause any trouble. I’ll just quietly follow you both. I’ll help you with chores, pour tea, and take care of the children. I’m really good with kids, they all love playing with me."

Ning Xin’er was both annoyed and amused as she looked at Chu Xiaoyao, saying, "What sort of love potion has this guy given you? How can you be so hopelessly devoted to following him?"

Seeing that Ning Xin’er wasn’t that angry, Chu Xiaoyao quickly buttered her up, "Sister Xin’er, just agree with me, okay? From now on, I’ll do whatever you ask me to, even if it’s to provide you with foot-washing water every day and wash your feet daily. Just treat me like a little maid."

Ning Xin’er glared at Li Yifei and said, "You really are something, I’m truly impressed."

Li Yifei chuckled dryly and replied, "When you were with me, you weren’t much older than Xiaoyao, as I recall."

"You bastard, all you do is lead young girls astray! I say Chu..."

"Chu Xiaoyao!" Chu Xiaoyao quickly emphasized her name.

Ning Xin’er nodded and said, "Xiaoyao, you’re still young, what are you doing mingling with a guy like this? You’ve seen what he’s like, very fickle, with a whole bunch of women. What good can come from following him?"

Chu Xiaoyao immediately said with passion, "Uncle is not like that at all. He’s really nice to us. He’s good to Sister Yiyi and good to me too. Yiyi and I have already discussed this, no matter who becomes Uncle’s wife, we will both be his mistresses."

"Mistresses..." Ning Xin’er went dark in the face and kicked Li Yifei, saying, "Aren’t you going a bit too far?"

Li Yifei managed a wry smile and said, "There’s not much I can do, sometimes, I just have that kind of charm."

Ning Xin’er was amused by Li Yifei’s words; after all, she had a child with him, and now she was clinging to the idea of being with him—hadn’t she been unwittingly bewitched by Li Yifei?

"Sister Xin’er...will you agree or not?" Chu Xiaoyao once again gently shook Ning Xin’er’s arm, her eyes full of pleading.

Ning Xin’er cleared her throat and replied, "Then, I agree."

Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes widened with excitement, and she stammered as she spoke, "Sister Xin’er...you...you really agree?"

Ning Xin’er nodded, saying, "I agree."

"Oh yeah!" Chu Xiaoyao exclaimed excitedly, then hugged Ning Xin’er’s shoulders and planted a kiss on her face.

Ning Xin’er was startled by Chu Xiaoyao’s enthusiasm and yet again glared at Li Yifei, annoyed.

"Sister Xin’er, besides me, there’s Sister Yiyi. She’s a really nice girl, very gentle, and just as devoted to Uncle. Since you’ve taken me in, why not take Sister Yiyi in as well?"

Ning Xin’er’s face darkened as she complained, "How come this never ends?"

"Sister Xin’er, Sister Yiyi is truly wonderful. If you meet her, you’re sure to like her. Moreover, Yiyi and I have already decided, we stick together through thick and thin. I can’t get your approval and then just abandon Sister Yiyi, that would be really mean of me."

Ning Xin’er blinked and conceded, "All right, then I agree to take Yiyi in too. But from now on, you girls better listen to me, or else I’ll change my mind."

"Of course, of course, we’ll definitely listen to you from now on. Whatever you tell us to do, we’ll do. Sister Yiyi will definitely agree as well, I can guarantee that," promised Chu Xiaoyao.

"Well, then it’s settled," agreed Ning Xin’er cheerfully, and then she winked at Li Yifei.

However, Li Yifei’s face turned dark. Ning Xin’er agreeing with Chu Xiaoyao clearly signified they were forming alliances. This likely meant he would have an even harder time dealing with them in the future.
