Chapter 489: Chapter 498 I’m Done With This

Li Yifei looked at each of the women’s faces one by one, not missing anyone. In Xu Yingying’s eyes, he saw panic; in Ye Yunzhu’s eyes, there was annoyance; Michelle’s face revealed shyness and nervousness, while Ning Xin’er had an expression of triumph, yet that triumph was more of a guilty pleasure.

Chu Xiaoyao remained as proud as ever. In her heart, Ning Xin’er was a big star, and Li Yifei would definitely choose Ning Xin’er.

Meng Xiaofei still wore an expression as if she were watching an exciting drama, but despite the smile on her face, she could not really smile during such a tense moment.

He Fangqing, on the other hand, was pretty calm, just smiling at Li Yifei and making a helpless shrugging gesture. To her, it made no difference who ended up with Li Yifei. However, since she was closer to Xu Yingying, she naturally hoped that Li Yifei would end up with Xu Yingying.

At this moment, Xu Shanshan seemed to have fallen into a daze, not looking at Li Yifei but her face alternating between red and white, leaving everyone clueless about what she was thinking.

Su Mengxin’s expression remained indifferent as always, but in reality, her heart was in turmoil, though nobody could tell.

But then, Li Yifei suddenly laughed, a bright and splendid laugh, and he abruptly stood up and loudly declared, "I quit, go find someone else if you want," and before anyone could react, he pushed the door open and walked out.

By the time everyone came to their senses, Li Yifei had already left the house, leaving them looking at each other in bewilderment. No one had expected such a reaction from Li Yifei in the end.

"That bastard! He actually dared to run away!" Ning Xin’er was the first to stamp her foot in anger.

Ye Yunzhu couldn’t help but curse as well, "Li Yifei you bastard, just you wait, I’ll make you pay."

The expressions on everyone else’s faces were also extremely odd...

Only at this time did Su Mengxin secretly smile. Li Yifei’s actions were definitely the wisest choice. At this moment, showing any stance would be utterly wrong. While running away might be cowardly, in today’s situation, not running away would be idiotic.

After Li Yifei left, he turned off his phone and called Zheng Mingrui over with just one phone call.

"Boss, what’s the urgent matter?" Inside a small restaurant, Zheng Mingrui saw Li Yifei and eagerly asked.

Li Yifei gestured with his hand and said, "Nothing much, just wanted to drink with you."

"Drinking? Boss, you can’t be serious?" Zheng Mingrui’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"Enough chitchat, come on, let’s down the first one." Li Yifei said and then chugged a large glass of draft beer.

Zheng Mingrui sat down, looked at Li Yifei, and then chuckled, "Boss, you can’t be heartbroken, can you?"

"Heartbroken... if only it were just heartbreak." Li Yifei shook his head and took another big gulp of beer.

"Then what on earth happened? What could make even the boss so despondent?" At this moment, Zheng Mingrui was full of curiosity, rarely seeing Li Yifei like this, he naturally wanted to tease him a bit, as it was indeed a rare occasion.

Li Yifei took a bite of a fatty skewer, which was so greasy that oil ran down with every bite, and he didn’t bother to wipe it away, saying, "Right now, I really miss the days in the squad."

Zheng Mingrui was even more thrilled. Li Yifei actually wanted to come back; something must have upset him outside. What could have disturbed Li Yifei to this extent? This was too tempting a mystery.

"If you want to come back, that would be great. The brothers all miss you," Zheng Mingrui deliberately didn’t ask and took a sip of liquor with Li Yifei.

"Back then, even though we were always in danger, life was pretty good. When there were no missions or training, we could drink when we wanted, eat meat when we craved, or chase girls when we felt like it. So carefree."

"Aren’t you living quite freely now? Lazing around every day, never lacking for beauties by your side."

"Don’t mention those beauties; just thinking about them gives me a headache. I tell you, aren’t you fancying that Lin... what’s her name?"

"Lin Wanqing!" Zheng Mingrui immediately reminded him, but then said coyly, "Boss, don’t talk nonsense, there’s nothing definite between her and me yet."

"Look at you, you’re all soft. You obviously fancy her, don’t you, or else why would you lose all your manliness at the mere mention of her?" Li Yifei shook his head, patted Zheng Mingrui’s shoulder, and said, "Let me tell you, Mingrui, if you really like her, just focus on her alone. Even if you see another woman who’s even better, don’t think about her, and even if someone actively pursues you, you must be determined and not give them any chance."

"Hehe... Boss, as expected, you really have been hurt in love, haha..." Zheng Mingrui slapped Li Yifei’s shoulder hard, laughing so hard he was almost crying.

"Boss, come on, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Li Yifei knew that if he told this guy, Zheng Mingrui, his embarrassing stories, he would be made fun of, but his family was in chaos now, and he really couldn’t handle it alone. He had to bring his wife back home, so he told him about the endless conflicts between the two sides going on now.

Zheng Mingrui listened, dumbfounded, and after a while said, "Damn, Boss, you’re too fierce. It hasn’t been that long, just about half a year, and you’ve got so many women."

Li Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "When I got back, I was just fooling around like I used to in the army. Who knew I would get into so much trouble? That’s why I reminded you, if you have a target, don’t go messing with other women in the future, especially don’t get emotionally involved. Having too many women is a real headache."

Zheng Mingrui nodded repeatedly and said, "Seeing you like this, I wouldn’t dare. This is simply asking for trouble, hehe..." As he spoke, Zheng Mingrui again wore a mischievous smile. The only people who could make Li Yifei feel so helpless were these women. All Li Yifei’s former opponents, even with all their tricks, had never made him frown. If terrorists and the elite special forces from other countries knew that this was the way to defeat Li Yifei, what kind of expressions would they have?

"Hey, you, I’m asking you for advice, what are you daydreaming about?" Li Yifei smacked Zheng Mingrui without any good grace.

Zheng Mingrui hurriedly said, "I’m telling you, Boss, it’s hard for an upright official to settle family disputes. This is your family matter; what can I do? But who do you like the most now?"

Li Yifei took a sip of his drink and said, "If I have to say who I like the most, I rather like Yiyi, but I’m also growing fonder of Yingying, Ning Xin’er has given me a daughter, and she’s already three, Ye Yunzhu is even pregnant with my child, and I can’t just ignore Chu Xiaoyao either..."

Zheng Mingrui couldn’t help but laugh and cry, saying, "Boss, that means you’re still in the same boat, you can’t let go of any of them. Why don’t you just take all of them? With your ability, handling two in one night shouldn’t be a big problem, right?"

Li Yifei said annoyedly, "Take all of them? Do you think this is ancient times, with three wives and four concubines?"

"So what will you do? You like this one, can’t let go of that one; you can’t bear to part with them. How do you expect me to react? If you want to marry multiple women, it’s not that difficult nowadays. Just find a country in Arabia, or join some sect, and you can take several wives easily. Even the USA has sects practicing polygamy. Besides, although Huaxia has monogamy, the number of men keeping mistresses and second wives is just too many. Why are you getting so worked up? If a woman wants to be with you, keep her; if she doesn’t, just tell her to get lost."

"Forget it. It’s simply impossible. Keeping them might be easy, but once you have more women, there’s bound to be endless squabbling. Just dealing with them all day would be a nightmare. Forget it, forget it. There’s no point in discussing this with you; you won’t come up with a good solution. Let’s just drink instead."

Zheng Mingrui had suggested this, and Mengxin also discussed it with him. Yifei knew it could be a solution. Like Su Yiyi, whether she stayed with Yingying or anyone else, he would never just abandon her. Or rather, that’s what he was doing now.

Then there was Chu Xiaoyao. This girl stood with Yiyi, and it would probably remain so in the future.

But apart from these two, others like Yingying, Ye Yunzhu, Lin Qiong, Ning Xin’er, all had strong personalities. How could they possibly tolerate such a situation? So it was utterly impossible.

Now he was out of options. Going back wouldn’t solve anything. His presence might only escalate the women’s conflicts. At least Yifei believed one thing: these women were all of high quality. They might argue and mock each other, but they would never make a big scene or get into physical fights. Moreover, with Mengxin there, an incredibly wise woman, she would probably calm things down. So he simply decided to have a good drink with Mingrui.

Unconsciously, Yifei had become quite dependent on Mengxin. It seemed that with her around, everything was especially reassuring.

After drinking for most of the day, Yifei was thoroughly drunk. It wasn’t intentional, but escaping like this actually relaxed him. Later, when several comrades joined in, they drank even more happily— not getting drunk would have been a disservice to them.

When Yifei woke up, he found a woman by his side. He quickly sat up and realized it was Mengxin lying next to him. Although he was only in underwear, Mengxin was fully dressed, just with some wrinkled clothes from lying on the bed.

As Yifei moved, Mengxin also woke up. She sat up and said, "Awake? Have another glass of water." She reached for a glass of water from the bedside table and handed it to Yifei.

Yifei took it and drained the glass, asking, "Why are you taking care of me yourself?" When he left yesterday, he knew Mengxin’s bodyguard was following him, so it wasn’t surprising that Mengxin found him. The real surprise was that Mengxin had actually taken care of him while he was drunk. The room was enveloped in darkness, probably indicating it was well into the night.

Mengxin brushed some stray hairs from her forehead and replied, "Being with anyone else would probably upset them, so I had to take care of you. How did I do? Not bad, right?"

With gratitude, Yifei smiled and said, "Being taken care of by Huaxia’s foremost beauty—how could that be wrong?"
