Chapter 604: Chapter 623 Gathering Outing

It wasn’t long before Chu Xiaoyao called Li Yifei, and after he gave her the specific location, not much later, she firmly dragged Su Yiyi over to where everyone was.

At this time, Xu Yingying had finally finished with some socializing and joined everyone.

Xu Yingying was seeing Su Yiyi for the first time, and she had always been very curious about this girl. Before marrying Li Yifei, he had emphatically stated that he could never sever ties with Su Yiyi. Li Yifei used to have quite a few women around him, but the only one he ever brought up was Su Yiyi. Xu Yingying had wanted to meet Su Yiyi for a while but never had the chance, and now at last she saw the girl Li Yifei had been so adamant about.

At that moment, Su Yiyi was looking down, wearing a light yellow long dress with a white belt around her waist. Her long hair fell smoothly over her shoulders, and even without seeing her face, she emanated a tranquil and delicate beauty.

"Sister Yingying, this is Su Yiyi. Haven’t you always wanted to meet her? I really had to drag her here this time," Chu Xiaoyao winked at Xu Yingying with a rather proud expression.

Xu Yingying smiled lightly and extended her hand to Su Yiyi, saying, "Hello, Yifei always talks about you. I’ve always wanted to see for myself what kind of beauty could captivate him so."

Upon hearing Xu Yingying speak, Su Yiyi couldn’t help but tremble slightly again. When she saw Xu Yingying’s hand extended, she took it in hers in a flustered manner, lifted her head slightly to glance at Xu Yingying, and then quickly lowered her gaze again.

Xu Yingying finally saw Su Yiyi’s face and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, instantly understanding why Li Yifei was so reluctant to give up on Su Yiyi. Such a girl, at first sight, could arouse the desire to protect. If she were really harmed, Xu Yingying herself would find it unbearable.

When Su Yiyi was with Li Yifei, they hadn’t even considered marriage yet. Su Yiyi hadn’t pressured Li Yifei to leave her, instead silently becoming his lover. For this kind of tolerance toward Li Yifei and the silent love she had for him, Xu Yingying fell short. What reason did she have to force Li Yifei to leave Su Yiyi?

Li Yifei wasn’t the slightest bit worried about Xu Yingying meeting Su Yiyi. A girl like Su Yiyi was really hard to view with hostility, and since Su Yiyi had never fought with Xu Yingying over anything, and Xu Yingying wasn’t an irrational woman, she certainly wouldn’t make a scene over this matter.

Xu Yingying then said, "Little sister Yiyi, don’t be nervous, we are all here to enjoy ourselves. Oh, you haven’t met Yifei’s daughter yet, have you? Yifei, quickly say hello to Auntie Yiyi."

Little Yifei, who had been curiously looking at Su Yiyi, immediately chirped up in a childish voice, "Hello, Auntie Yiyi."

Su Yiyi immediately turned her attention to Little Yifei. Naturally, she couldn’t be as nervous around her, especially since this was Li Yifei’s child, and so adorable at that. She felt an instinctive closeness, which relaxed her tense mood. She crouched down and handed a beautiful silver bell to Little Yifei, saying softly, "This is a gift from auntie. I don’t know if you like it?"

Little Yifei looked at Xu Yingying, and it wasn’t just Xu Yingying or Li Yifei — even when she was in Capital City, she had been taught not to casually accept things from strangers. She was meeting Su Yiyi for the first time, so she hesitated to take the gift. Xu Yingying immediately smiled and said, "Take it, Auntie Yiyi is also your... your dad’s good friend, not a stranger."

Little Yifei joyfully accepted the bell, shaking it lightly, and the crisp sound made her say even more delightedly, "Thank you, Auntie Yiyi." She then hugged Su Yiyi’s neck and planted a kiss on her cheek.

Su Yiyi was overjoyed and said, "How about auntie puts it on your wrist, so you can jingle it whenever you walk?"

"Yes, yes!" Little Yifei immediately held out her tender little hand, letting Su Yiyi tie the bell around her wrist, then she started shaking it happily.

At this point, Li Yifei said, "Alright, now that everyone’s here, let’s board the ship first. I’ll introduce you all later."

They all boarded the cruise ship together. Flanked by tall sailors on either side of the gangway, each was courteous and smiling, which immediately conveyed a sense of respect. A luxury cruise isn’t just about external grandeur; service quality is also of utmost importance. On the cruise ship, everyone will receive the most distinguished service.

Guided by the attendants, Li Yifei and his group arrived at their sixth-floor room. This was not the best location — the rooms were better the higher up one went — and they hadn’t booked one of those luxurious suites that were too conspicuous, especially for Su Mengxin. Had they chosen such a suite, it would have attracted too much attention.

The room wasn’t perfectly square but rather elongated. Nonetheless, it lacked nothing: there was a large bed, soft and comfortable, with the bedding and mattress being extremely exquisite. There was a bathroom, a sofa, a TV, and everything else one could need, each item as delicate as the next.

Rooms were shared between two people, so naturally, Li Yifei and Xu Yingying were in one. Initially, they had considered having Little Yifei stay with them, but she insisted on sharing a room with Chu Xiaoyao and Su Yiyi. These two girls were the youngest and could play with her the best. Plus, Li Yifei and Xu Yingying were always managing her, while only Chu Xiaoyao would keep her constantly entertained.

He Fangqing and Michelle took a room together, while Xu Shanshan and Meng Xiaofei, both fond of fun and frolic, also banded together. As for Su Mengxin, she ended up with a room to herself. Although everyone was attractive, Su Mengxin was still a few notches above the rest in beauty, which unavoidably made the others feel a bit distanced from her. It wasn’t that everyone was intentionally isolating Su Mengxin; it just seemed that her beauty and status made others uncomfortable sharing a room with her.

Seeing the situation, Xu Yingying proposed sharing a room with Su Mengxin. Su Mengxin smiled and said, "Coming out to have fun, a couple sharing a room can add a bit of ambiance. Why would you stay with me?"

Xu Yingying immediately felt quite awkward, but the thought of Su Mengxin not even having someone to speak with at night was unsettling for her. She promptly said, "No worries, this guy doesn’t lack company anyway. I don’t need to bother about him." Saying that, she went ahead and shared a room with Su Mengxin without further discussion.

In the end, it was Li Yifei who ended up alone in a room, but he didn’t mind. Although he had ambiguous relationships with many of the women here, only Meng Xiaofei and Michelle had relatively normal relationships with him. Sharing a room with anyone would have inevitably made the others jealous. It was better this way, with him having a room to himself.

Once the rooms were arranged, everyone gathered again in Su Mengxin and Xu Yingying’s room. Li Yifei introduced Su Yiyi to everyone, and by then, she was no longer that nervous, greeting everyone in turn.

She was already quite familiar with Su Mengxin and Meng Xiaofei—only He Fangqing and Michelle were new to her. After a brief introduction, the one Su Yiyi was most apprehensive about was Xu Yingying, but Xu Yingying wasn’t making things difficult for her and was rather amiable when she spoke, which helped Su Yiyi relax considerably, though she remained very reserved and hesitant to speak freely.

Michelle and He Fangqing were looking closely at Su Yiyi. By bringing Su Yiyi so openly, Li Yifei obviously made his relationship with her completely public and had obtained Xu Yingying’s approval. Seeing Su Yiyi, they were both drawn by her gentle aura—such a girl seemed truly meant to be cherished, and neither wanted to hurt her. Xu Yingying’s reaction suggested that she, too, seemed to accept Su Yiyi.

Meng Xiaofei nudged Li Yifei with her shoulder and said with a grin, "Brother Li, I’ve always worried that you would abandon Yiyi, and I would really have had to stand up for her. But looking at it now, you seem to be quite the man."

Li Yifei chuckled lightly and responded, "That’s all thanks to Yingying’s tolerance. Without it, how could I dare to bring Yiyi here?"

Meng Xiaofei then winked at Xu Yingying and asked, "Sister Yingying, have you really just accepted Yiyi like that?"

As soon as Meng Xiaofei spoke, the room fell silent, and everyone’s gaze turned to Xu Yingying. Although everyone was quite curious, only someone as carefree as Meng Xiaofei would dare to raise the question, essentially forcing Xu Yingying to take a stand.

Su Yiyi was so scared that she barely dared to breathe. She hadn’t expected to face such a situation shortly after meeting Xu Yingying. It would be all right if Xu Yingying agreed, but what if she didn’t? What would Su Yiyi do then?

Li Yifei found himself in an awkward position, not expecting Meng Xiaofei to blurt out such a question, and at that moment, the least suitable person to speak was him. Any stance he took would be inappropriate, so he pretended not to have heard.

Little Yifei, not understanding any of these matters, noticed the room had suddenly quieted and sensed that something big might be happening. She looked around curiously, from one person to the next, her face full of wonder.

Only then did Meng Xiaofei realize her words had put Xu Yingying in a difficult position. She stuck out her tongue and said hastily, "I was just talking casually. Sister Yingying, don’t take it to heart, okay?"

Xu Yingying felt very frustrated and had not expected to be put on the spot like this. Though Meng Xiaofei’s words were unintentional, everyone’s attention was on her, and if she remained silent, it would indeed be awkward. Trying to disregard it was simply out of the question.

Xu Yingying sighed inwardly. Li Yifei had already told her before that he wouldn’t be able to abandon Su Yiyi. If she didn’t agree, even if Li Yifei said nothing for the time being, it would still leave a massive grudge in his heart. Moreover, even if she disagreed, Li Yifei’s character meant he wouldn’t leave Su Yiyi, which could end up making her feel very passive and possibly create an irreparable rift between her and him.
