Chapter 556: Chapter 567: Wrong Person Again

On the way back to Mile City, Su Yiyi’s face was alight with a smile, her sweetness and happiness completely on display. Li Yifei’s help for her second aunt and uncle made her even happier than if he had helped her personally. Li Yifei easily resolved what others saw as very difficult matters; especially when her second aunt thanked her and Li Yifei, it filled Su Yiyi with immense joy. She was certain she had chosen the right man. Even if she couldn’t be his wife, she was content to be his lover for life.

Having returned to Mile City, Li Yifei dropped Su Yiyi off at her original small home and then hurried back to his own house. Currently, there was only Xu Yingying at home to take care of Little Yifei. With Xu Yingying being so busy, he naturally couldn’t stay out and enjoy himself anymore.

Now, there were only three people at home. This was an almost nonexistent situation since Li Yifei and Xu Yingying got married. After Little Yifei fell asleep, it seemed there were just the two of them, leaving Li Yifei and Xu Yingying feeling somewhat unaccustomed.

The two sat in the living room, with Xu Yingying leaning on Li Yifei’s shoulder. She said, "Xiaoyao has left, do you miss her a little?"

Li Yifei gently caressed Xu Yingying’s hair and replied, "Xiaoyao should have her own life, I’m just happy for her. I don’t really miss her."

Xu Yingying turned her head to look at Li Yifei and said with a smile, "There are plenty of temptations in college, and with Xiaoyao being so beautiful, she’s sure to have lots of suitors. What if Xiaoyao truly falls for someone?"

Li Yifei met Xu Yingying’s gaze and responded, "If that’s the case, I wouldn’t consider it a bad thing."

"Would you be willing to let go?" Xu Yingying asked further, her expression tinged with mischief.

Li Yifei rubbed his nose and said, "I won’t deny it, I have a bit of male chauvinism. If Xiaoyao hadn’t been so close to me before, I wouldn’t have felt reluctant, but now... I really do feel a little reluctant."

A flicker of disappointment crossed Xu Yingying’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it. However, Li Yifei still noticed it. He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead, saying, "But as much as I’m reluctant, I can’t delay Xiaoyao’s lifelong happiness. If she really finds true love, I will certainly support her. After all, I have you as my wife; continuing to hold onto her would be irresponsible to her and unfair to you."

Now, a smile appeared on Xu Yingying’s face, unhidden. She said, "Then I truly hope Xiaoyao can find a boy she likes. Her current situation, living with us like this, is somewhat improper by social standards. If others don’t know about it, it’s fine. But if they found out, who knows what they would say about us. The pressure of public opinion would make it difficult for me to lift my head."

Li Yifei nodded and said, "I know, which is why I have never truly had a relationship with her. I was afraid of just that."

"At least you got that part right," Xu Yingying praised Li Yifei, but immediately followed with a wistful remark, "My own husband being close with other girls, and I can’t object. There hasn’t been a real relationship, yet I still need to commend you. Tell me, what kind of wife does that make me?"

Li Yifei gave an awkward smile and said, "It’s all my fault."

"Forget it, who asked us to get married so hastily? All these women were entangled with you before that," Xu Yingying did not pressure Li Yifei at this time. Rice needs to be eaten one mouthful at a time, and the women around Li Yifei also needed to be dealt with one by one. Now that Chu Xiaoyao had left, it was already a good start.

With Xu Shanshan and Chu Xiaoyao not in the house, the couple thought about having a good, intimate evening. However, just as they had undressed and were about to begin, Little Yifei’s voice came from outside the door, "Daddy, Mommy, I’m scared."

Xu Yingying and Li Yifei quickly threw on their clothes and opened the door to bring Little Yifei inside. While patting Little Yifei’s back, Xu Yingying asked, "What’s wrong, sweet daughter?"

"Mommy, I don’t want to sleep alone. I’m scared."

Li Yifei immediately said, "What’s there to be afraid of? Daddy and Mommy are home."

"It’s too dark, and I’m all by myself. I won’t do it." Little Yifei shook her head and clung tightly to Xu Yingying’s neck.

Although Little Yifei interrupted Li Yifei and Xu Yingying’s intimate moment, there was nothing they could do about it, since their daughter was more important. They allowed Little Yifei to sleep in the middle, with one parent on each side. Little Yifei was delighted; she had never before slept in the same bed with Li Yifei and Xu Yingying. For a time, she couldn’t fall asleep, tossing and turning for a long while before she finally drifted off to sleep.

By this time, Li Yifei and Xu Yingying were also feeling tired, and with their daughter in between them, they no longer engaged in any activity.

It was fine for a day or two, but Little Yifei insisted on sleeping in the same bed with Li Yifei and Xu Yingying for four consecutive days. This caused both Li Yifei and Xu Yingying to feel slightly frustrated. It wasn’t that they didn’t love Little Yifei, but they needed some space to be intimate. Besides, the little girl was a light sleeper; any slight noise from the couple at night would wake her up. Even if they tried to be affectionate while she was asleep, they couldn’t succeed. Therefore, they tried encouraging Little Yifei to go back to sleep on her own.

Yet, for all other matters, the little girl would be obedient with just a bit of praise, but she refused to compromise on this specific matter. No matter what, she would not agree to sleep separately.

Both of them had thought that with no one else at home, they could finally enjoy some lovey-dovey time. Who would have expected such a situation to arise? This even made Xu Yingying somewhat nostalgic about the times when Chu Xiaoyao was there, since Little Yifei would sleep with her then, and Li Yifei and she could be affectionate every night. Although they always had to be somewhat cautious, not daring to make too much noise, it was still better than now when they couldn’t do anything at all.

But their daughter was ultimately important, so Li Yifei and Xu Yingying couldn’t harbor any negative thoughts about Little Yifei just because they couldn’t be affectionate at night. Besides, with the little girl around, they indeed found a lot more joy. After picking up their child in the evening, the family of three could stroll around downstairs, creating a truly happy family atmosphere.

In the meantime, Ye Yunzhu was very busy, not even making a phone call to Li Yifei. Lin Qiong was also occupied with some case, not coming to trouble Li Yifei, so he lived a simple and ascetic life these few days, which was rare for him since returning to the city.

On Wednesday, Xu Yingying went to a business negotiation meeting in the province and wouldn’t be back until the next day. Now, the household was simply left to Li Yifei alone to look after their child. But Li Yifei didn’t find it difficult; he was equally adept at taking care of Little Yifei, sending her to kindergarten in the morning, picking her up in the evening, cooking for her, bathing her, helping with her learning, playing games, telling stories, and by nine o’clock, he had put Little Yifei to bed.

The next morning, Li Yifei dropped Little Yifei off at kindergarten again. He spent half the morning at the company, and since there was nothing urgent in the afternoon, he simply took the day off. Xu Yingying was going to come back today and possibly return earlier than usual, which was a rare opportunity for the two of them, naturally warranting some preparation so they could finally be affectionate.

Just after two o’clock, the sound of keys unlocking the door rang out, and Li Yifei jumped up from the sofa, rushing to the entrance. He immediately embraced the entering Xu Yingying, kissed her on the face, and said, "Honey, you’re finally back."

Xu Yingying quickly pushed Li Yifei away, scolding, "What are you doing? Why aren’t you at work?"

"I knew you would be back early today, so I rushed home to wait for you, heh, realizing it’s just the two of us," Li Yifei said, his hand already caressing Xu Yingying’s back.

Xu Yingying’s body instantly went limp and she leaned against Li Yifei’s chest.

Li Yifei wasn’t about to be polite; he’d been pent up for days and promptly carried Xu Yingying to the bedroom, threw her down on the bed, pressed against her, and showered her lips with kisses.

"Don’t!"

Hearing this, Li Yifei was somewhat bewildered; it wasn’t their first time, so what was there to refuse.

"Brother-in-law... Don’t!"

When he heard those words, Li Yifei felt as if struck by lightning, and he stood up with a jolt, staring at the person lying on the bed, unable to distinguish whether it was Xu Yingying or Xu Shanshan.

"Brother-in-law, stop it," Xu Shanshan pouted, giving Li Yifei a coquettish look.

At that moment, Li Yifei really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but suddenly, the sound of keys unlocking the door reached his ears, causing both Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan’s faces to change dramatically; clearly, Xu Yingying had truly come back.
