Chapter 475: Chapter 485: Seeing Comrades in Arms

The next day, Li Qiang and Yang Shuyao left, and in the evening, Ning Xin’er, Li Yifei, and Chu Xiaoyao went together to pick up their daughter.

When Ning Xin’er held Li Yufei in the car and saw that only Li Yifei and Chu Xiaoyao were there, the little girl asked in a milky voice, "Godmother, why didn’t Daddy and Mommy come to pick me up?"

Ning Xin’er smiled and said, "Yufei, your parents have some things to do and will be away for a few days. During this time, will it be okay if Godmother and Godfather look after you?"

"Oh... where did they go?" the little girl continued to ask.

"They went to work. They have to work so they can buy Yufei lots and lots of yummy food and toys."

"Oh, then it’s okay, I’ll just stay with Godmother."

Although the little girl did not know that Ning Xin’er was her birth mother, she had already grown very familiar with Ning Xin’er. Usually, when Ning Xin’er came home, she would occasionally take her daughter to sleep with her, so the girl felt no reluctance to be with Ning Xin’er.

Li Yifei breathed a sigh of relief. He had really feared that his daughter might cry and make a fuss upon knowing that Li Qiang and the others were not there, which would have really given him a headache.

Chu Xiaoyao, sitting in the front seat, turned her head to Li Yufei and said, "Yufei, I’ll also play with you these days, okay?"

Li Yufei immediately replied with joy, "Yes, yes." Chu Xiaoyao had made her very happy playing with her the day before. Usually at home, Li Qiang and Yang Shuyao treated her like a little princess, perhaps too cautiously, so they couldn’t be as intimately close as ordinary parents with their daughter. But even though Chu Xiaoyao herself was only eighteen, she was still quite fun and just right for the little girl’s temper.

"Yufei, what do you want to eat tonight? Godfather will take you out," Li Yifei asked with a smile, also trying to close the distance with his daughter.

Unfortunately, his daughter clearly felt most unfamiliar with him. At that moment, she timidly looked toward Ning Xin’er, who immediately said, "Yufei, Godfather will love you just like Godmother does, so if there’s anything you want, just tell your Godfather."

"Oh, then can we go to KFC?"

"Yes, of course." Li Yifei, even though he knew such food wasn’t necessarily good for one’s health, naturally wouldn’t refuse since his daughter had asked for it.

The three of them took the little girl to KFC. As they all queued up, Ning Xin’er held her daughter, who wriggled in her arms, looking here and there, which made Li Yifei enviously watch and say to his daughter, "Yufei, would you let Godfather hold you?"

The little girl turned her head to look at Li Yifei, blinked, and said, "You can’t, I am a girl, and girls shouldn’t be held by you."

Li Yifei was suddenly at a loss for words, while Ning Xin’er and Chu Xiaoyao both laughed.

Seeing Li Yifei’s eager yet disappointed look, Ning Xin’er quickly said, "Yufei, this is your Godfather, not a stranger. It’s okay for him to hold you. Besides, we are all short. Only your Godfather is tall. If he holds you, you can see further and choose more delicious food, right?"

Li Yufei immediately stretched out her little arms and said to Li Yifei, "Godfather, hold me."

Li Yifei was overjoyed, so excited that he hardly knew what to do, and quickly reached out his arms to carefully hold his daughter.

Li Yifei had never quite understood what it felt like to have a blood connection, but upon holding Li Yufei, his own daughter, he suddenly got it. It was an indescribable feeling, stirring his heart immensely. Holding his own daughter, it seemed there was nothing else in the world worthy of his attention – just this little treasure in his arms.

Seeing Li Yifei like this filled Ning Xin’er with pride. If Li Yifei cared for and loved his daughter, she felt even more confident about being with Li Yifei. A sweet smile emerged at the corners of her mouth.

Right then, Li Yifei wished he could buy everything in KFC for his daughter, just to make her happy.

Even while sitting down to eat, Li Yifei couldn’t bear to put his daughter down and let her sit on his lap, personally feeding her. His attentiveness indeed qualified him as a good father.

Ning Xin’er, holding a chicken wing, smiled as she watched them both, a scene she had fantasized about countless times that had finally come true, making her feel as if she were in a dream.

"Is Godfather good?" Ning Xin’er took a napkin to wipe her daughter’s mouth, asking with a smile.

"Good!" the little girl nodded vigorously, turning to give Li Yifei a sweet smile.

Li Yifei felt ecstatic and quickly said, "Yufei, whatever you want in the future, Godfather will get it for you, okay?"

"Wow, godfather is so great, even better than my dad," she exclaimed.

The comment made Li Yifei’s heart swell with pride, thinking that this meant his daughter would more easily accept him.

Children are simple creatures; they like whoever treats them well, unable to distinguish between close and distant relationships. Li Yifei was nice to her, so naturally, she considered him a good person. Furthermore, having Ning Xin’er, a godmother she was very familiar with, made her feel comfortable despite the absence of Li Qiang and Yang Shuyao.

After eating, Li Yifei took his daughter directly to the toy store and let her pick whatever she wanted—anything she set her eyes on, he would buy for her.

In doing so, Li Yifei was not exactly behaving like a qualified father. A qualified father should not only love his daughter but also discipline her. However, Li Yifei was indulging her; if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would find a way to pluck them for her.

Of course, it wasn’t entirely his fault. His daughter’s arrival was unexpected, and he wasn’t prepared to be a father. In his rush, he thought only of love, plus his feelings of indebtedness to his daughter made him all the more eager to make it up to her. So, naturally, he ended up spoiling her.

Back at home, Li Yufei was overjoyed, laying out all of her toys. Li Yifei, Ning Xin’er, and Chu Xiaoyao all played with her, making her incredibly happy, so much so that she completely forgot about Li Qiang and Yang Shuyao.

After they tired out from playing, Ning Xin’er and Chu Xiaoyao helped bathe Li Yufei. Li Yifei had initially wanted to join in, but ultimately, he decided against it. It was one thing for his daughter, but with Ning Xin’er and Chu Xiaoyao there, it just wouldn’t be appropriate for him, a grown man, to squeeze into the bathroom as well.

Li Yufei fell asleep quickly; Ning Xin’er shared a room with the daughter while Li Yifei, after his bath, went back to his room. Soon, Chu Xiaoyao came into his room wearing a thin nightgown.

"Don’t you have your own room?" Li Yifei said, slapping Chu Xiaoyao on the buttock as she climbed onto him.

"I want to sleep with you," retorted Chu Xiaoyao, kissing Li Yifei’s face and wriggling her body.

"No, that’s not right. If Ning Xin’er sees us together, what would it look like?"

"What’s there to fear? After all, I’m your ’mistress’, and she has agreed to it. She takes care of the daughter, and I come to sleep with you. It’s all normal," she said.

"Stop messing around and go back to bed," he insisted.

"I won’t," Chu Xiaoyao declared. Her hand had already reached for Li Yifei’s sensitive part, she said teasingly, "If you want to send me away, then you’ll have to make love to me."

Li Yifei rolled his eyes and replied, "Then just stay here."

Chu Xiaoyao giggled triumphantly, pulled his arm under her neck for a pillow, entwined her legs with his, and her hand made its way familiarly into Li Yifei’s pants.

"Why are you still doing this?" Li Yifei was already turned on by Chu Xiaoyao’s touch.

"Hehe, don’t worry, I won’t force you, Uncle," she said playfully. "It’s just fun to touch; I’ve gotten used to it. Without it, I won’t be able to sleep."

Because of Li Yifei’s leniency in recent days, Chu Xiaoyao had indeed been behaving this way continuously. Seeing that she was now in much better spirits, he wanted to stop her, but it was too late, as she had already become accustomed to it.

Fortunately, aside from her wandering hand, Chu Xiaoyao didn’t make any further moves, allowing Li Yifei to fend off further temptation. But the situation was still quite uncomfortable.

The next day, Li Yifei once again personally took his daughter to kindergarten. Thanks to his generosity the day before, his daughter no longer felt estranged from him. While they were not extremely close, she was much more familiar with him, which made Li Yifei in an even better mood.

Having nothing else to do during the day, and with Ning Xin’er keeping Chu Xiaoyao company, Li Yifei decided to call up Zheng Mingrui for a meeting. Zheng Mingrui didn’t have any missions at the time, so he and a few comrades from the squad met up with Li Yifei at a bar.

Even though bars are mostly open at night, they still welcome customers during the day, and it was quite peaceful. Besides the brothers from the last time, there were a few others who hadn’t been to Mile City the last time—Li Yifei’s old comrades-in-arms. Seeing Li Yifei again, they were all extremely excited.

When comrades meet, they drink to their heart’s content, and they did just that, drinking happily from morning until after two in the afternoon, everyone a bit tipsy.

Just then, more customers entered the bar, and upon the arrival of a group of about ten people, Zheng Mingrui’s eyes went wide.

Everyone looked where Zheng Mingrui was gazing, each with a strange expression on their face. Li Yifei also looked at the group. They were all young, none older than thirty, and the youngsters were over twenty. There were seven men and four women. One of the women, with her long hair and shapely figure, particularly her long legs, was mesmerizing, and she was definitely a beauty. It was this woman that Zheng Mingrui had his eyes fixed on.

Of the seven men, Li Yifei recognized two of them as members of the Flying Hawk Squad, who had joined after he had left. They were sent by a significant family for gold training, which Li Yifei particularly disliked.
