Chapter 674: Chapter 712: Ning Xin’er Arrives

"You’re really slow, don’t tell me you two were up to that kind of thing early in the morning?"

After running into Hu Shuzhe downstairs, Hu Shuzhe glanced at Li Yifei and then teased Michelle in a low voice.

Michelle’s face turned red, and she said indignantly, "It’s a big, happy day, how dare I mess around and waste your time?"

Hu Shuzhe chuckled, "Come on, no need to pretend, just look at you, all rosy-cheeked, obviously after getting all emotional and up to no good."

Michelle was even more embarrassed and said with irritation, "Have you learned how to read faces now?"

"That’s right, I might not be clear about other things, but this kind of thing I can always see clearly."

"Get lost."

After bantering for a bit, Michelle, though embarrassed, actually enjoyed such teasing, letting others misunderstand her relationship with Li Yifei seemed to have become a kind of pleasure.

Li Yifei accompanied them for make-up, hair styling, and finally all the rituals like fetching the bride, bustling about until eight o’clock before they finally arrived at the wedding hall.

Li Yifei found these matters really troublesome, but it seemed that weddings were just like that. He and Xu Yingying were now legally husband and wife, but they had not held a wedding ceremony yet, and it was something that had to be done sooner or later, or Xu Yingying’s parents would not be happy.

At the wedding, Li Yifei had nothing to do and watched Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao hosting on stage, while the couple, flanked by the bridesmaids and groomsmen, looked blissfully happy, which was quite interesting.

"Dear families and friends, today, to celebrate the couple stepping into the hall of matrimony, the host has specially invited a famous celebrity to bless the newlyweds, and now let’s welcome this star to convey their blessing to our couple."

As Li Xinyue finished speaking, the lights on the stage suddenly dimmed, and then music began to play.

Hu Shuzhe had mentioned yesterday that there would be a celebrity appearance, and the classmates had been looking forward to it all this time. They were finally about to see who it was, each of them stretching their necks in excitement to catch a glimpse of the celebrity.

"I know who it is, it must be Ning Xin’er, this song is sung by her," a girl suddenly exclaimed.

"Yes, yes, it must be her, I know too."

As the intro music started, many people began to shout, all thrilled beyond measure. Although Ning Xin’er was not a top-tier mega-star, her popularity was always high, and every one of her songs was popular. However, she seldom participated in events and never engaged in any publicity stunts, so her fame was a bit less, but her loyal fanbase was nonetheless significant.

Upon hearing Ning Xin’er’s name, Li Yifei was also greatly surprised. It wasn’t strange for Ning Xin’er to be here, but what was odd was that she had come without seeking him out first or visiting her daughter, and that was a bit curious.

Then, Ning Xin’er, dressed in a plain long gown and with a voice like that of an angel, walked onto the stage, a touching love song echoing through the hotel’s hall.

Initially, upon learning that Ning Xin’er was the celebrity guest, the hall was buzzing with commotion, but as Ning Xin’er started to sing, the hall quieted down as everyone immersed themselves in the heavenly voice, no one daring to make a sound that might disrupt the wonderful melody.

After the song ended, Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao approached her, and Li Xinyue said, "On behalf of the newlyweds, I thank you, Ning Xin’er, for being here. Please say a few words of blessing to the couple."

Ning Xin’er walked up to the couple, smiled, and said a few words of blessing, while Michelle stood next to Hu Shuzhe, immediately recognizing Ning Xin’er with just a nod of her head and without speaking.

Next, Ning Xin’er sang a second song for the newlyweds that really got the atmosphere pumping.

"I’m so envious, Hu Shuzhe is so lucky. To have a big star like Ning Xin’er performing at his wedding."

"Yeah, it’s harder to get Ning Xin’er than those top-tier celebrities. We’ve barely heard anything about her recently, and yet she’s here."

"I’ve got to get Ning Xin’er’s autograph later. I’m a die-hard fan of hers."

Listening to these comments, Li Yifei silently shook his head. No one was paying attention to him, so he headed straight back to the room he shared with Michelle. It wasn’t noon yet, and they hadn’t checked out, so he sent Ning Xin’er a text with his room number.

More than twenty minutes later, a knock on the door sounded. Li Yifei opened the door to see Ning Xin’er. He stepped aside to let her in and then locked the door behind them.

"Why lock the door? Planning on doing something naughty?" Ning Xin’er sat down on the sofa with crossed legs and teased Li Yifei with a smile. She looked quite different from the pure and innocent image she portrayed earlier.

Li Yifei took a seat opposite Ning Xin’er and said, "You’re here, why didn’t you call me first?"

Ning Xin’er pouted and replied, "I wanted to, but I was afraid your wife wouldn’t like it."

"Seeing your daughter is a perfectly normal thing. Yingying won’t mind."

"Seeing my daughter is normal, of course, but it seems like your wife is more afraid of me seeing you. Now you even dare to invite me alone into a room. If your wife finds out, you’re going to be in trouble."

Li Yifei knew Ning Xin’er’s personality very well. She used to be wild, and although she had toned down recently, old habits die hard. Plus, they shared a daughter, and in front of Ning Xin’er, Li Yifei always felt he couldn’t assert himself.

With no choice, Li Yifei changed the subject, "Let’s not talk about this. It’s been a while since there’s been any news about you. How have you been?"

Ning Xin’er blinked and responded, "Is that concern I hear?"

Li Yifei didn’t deny it and said, "Of course I care about you. No matter what, you are Little Yifei’s mother."

"Hmm, it’s only because of my daughter that I get any attention." Ning Xin’er glared at Li Yifei, dissatisfied.

Li Yifei smiled slightly and replied, "I’ll take you to see your daughter in a bit."

This time, Ning Xin’er didn’t pick a fight with Li Yifei and quickly said, "Okay, let’s go now."

Li Yifei hurriedly said, "Don’t rush. There are still some things I need to talk to you about."

"Go on, what is it?" Ning Xin’er sat back down, frowning at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei organized his thoughts and slowly started, "Your daughter has adapted well to living with me. She calls me Dad and Yingying Mom. I think... when you see her later, you should continue to be her godmother. What do you think?"

Ning Xin’er’s eyes widened in anger as she exclaimed, "How can that be? I’m the real mother of Yifei. Your wife is at most her stepmother. How can I, the real mother, become the godmother, and she, the stepmother, become the real mother? You can’t let our daughter be unaware of the truth. She needs to know who her real mother is."
