Chapter 675: Chapter 713 Ning Xin’er’s True Nature

Li Yifei spoke gently, "Ning Xin’er, I know this isn’t reasonable, and it’s quite unfair to you, but I’m doing this for my daughter’s sake. Think about it, she’s still young and doesn’t understand all these things. She should be enjoying happiness and growing up happy. If we adults have to make her understand everything, it will surely trouble her and perhaps keep her from being happy."

Ning Xin’er knew that Li Yifei made sense. With a huff, she kicked him and said, "You bastard, if you were with me, wouldn’t our daughter be with both her real parents?"

Li Yifei used to be afraid of Ning Xin’er and now felt extremely guilty toward her. His tone was still soft as he said, "Xin’er, if you had told me earlier that you were carrying my child, I would have been raising our daughter with you by now. But by the time you told me about the child, I was already married to Yingying, and I simply couldn’t abandon her. Moreover, Yunzhu is also pregnant with my child. If I were with you, and Yunzhu demanded the same, what would I do?"

Suddenly, Ning Xin’er threw herself onto Li Yifei, pinching and twisting him, and cursed, "You son of a bitch, who made you such a philanderer, attracting one woman after another?"

Li Yifei let Ning Xin’er have her way with him, not tensing his muscles completely, as that would only make her angrier. It was better to let her vent now rather than to confront her.

After she had vented for a while and saw that Li Yifei was enduring it, Ning Xin’er stopped, snorted, and said, "You bastard, if I bullied you like this in the past, you would’ve run away long ago. Why aren’t you running now?"

Li Yifei laughed, "The monk can run away, but the temple can’t."

"Hmph!" Ning Xin’er glared at Li Yifei, then stood up. When she had pounced on him earlier, she had unwittingly sat on his lap. Now that she wasn’t bullying Li Yifei, she felt embarrassed to be sitting there.

The two of them were strange that way. They already had a daughter together, but when Ning Xin’er was with Li Yifei, it was normal for her to throw temper tantrums, yet she became embarrassed when she got closer to him.

"So what do you think, do you agree with what I said?" Li Yifei asked cautiously again.

Ning Xin’er tossed her head, "I don’t agree."

"Xin’er, I really am doing this for the child’s good, with no other intentions. When she’s a bit older and can understand things, I’ll tell her about it. She’ll be able to understand then."

"Pah, do you think your daughter will understand? You abandon her real mother and let another woman be her mom. She’ll hate you if she doesn’t."

Li Yifei rubbed his nose, "If she’s like you, then she’ll definitely hate me. But if she’s like me, she might understand."

"Ah! You bastard, are you saying I’m unreasonable?" Ning Xin’er got angry again and pounced on him to continue her assault.

This time, Li Yifei immediately wrapped his arms around Ning Xin’er’s waist. Her body stiffened and she stammered, "What... what are you doing?"

Li Yifei felt amused, but he didn’t dare to make any further moves, "Xin’er, let’s deal with this matter slowly. After all, I am my daughter’s biological father, and my goal is to make her happy. Aren’t you her mom and don’t you want the same?" he said. "As for how exactly to handle this, let’s talk it over gradually."

"Hmph, the best thing would be for us to raise our daughter together, but you just won’t agree," Ning Xin’er glared at Li Yifei, though her aura wasn’t as strong as before.

"Alright then, let’s think this over slowly. You wanted to see our daughter, right? Today happens to be her day off; let’s go together."

"Right now? Aren’t you attending the wedding?"

"I came to accompany Michelle. She’s been busy as a bridesmaid and doesn’t need me, so it’s fine if I leave now."

"You’re with her? Don’t tell me you’ve gotten back together with her?" Ning Xin’er’s hands instantly pinched Li Yifei’s arms.

Li Yifei hurriedly said, "No, no, it’s not like that. I’m just pretending; we’re innocent and definitely much cleaner than when I’m with you."

"You..." Ning Xin’er spit at Li Yifei and said, "Let’s wait then. I came here today to repay a favor. I promised to sing a couple of songs during the meal. And just so you know, this is the last time I’m being a star. After this, I’m settling down here."

Li Yifei’s mouth twitched, prompting Ning Xin’er to immediately snap, "What’s with that face, do you really dislike me?

Li Yifei quickly said, "Not at all, how could I possibly dislike you?" But internally, he felt so troubled. If Ning Xin’er settled in Mile City, from then on, he probably wouldn’t have any peace. He feared his good days were numbered.

"Hmph, insincere words. Let me tell you, if you make me happy, I’ll cause you less trouble. But if you make me unhappy, I won’t let you be happy either," Ning Xin’er said, sporting an indescribable look of triumph on her face.

Ning Xin’er had always been a headache for Li Yifei whenever he saw her, and now that she had given him a daughter, it was as if she had obtained an imperial sword. In the past, Li Yifei could still manage her to some extent, the worst case being walking away and ignoring her, but now he couldn’t even do that.

"Remember not to leave, okay? Wait for me to finish singing, then we’ll leave together. By the way, did I sing well?"

This time, Li Yifei didn’t have to feign any false praise and nodded, saying, "You sang well, indeed very well. I really had no idea that you possessed such a wonderful voice, I had not noticed it before."

Li Yifei’s compliment made Ning Xin’er quite happy. She said, "Hmm, you’ve missed a lot of things like that. You never praised me before, and now, finally, you do. It really wasn’t easy to get a compliment out of you."

Li Yifei was different from his former self; when he first met Ning Xin’er, he was still a greenhorn, clueless about how to flatter a girl, and his heart was filled only with Ye Yunzhu. No matter how great Ning Xin’er was, he had no thoughts of her, and when he met her again, he was already beleaguered by the child’s matters, and had even less mood to cajole her. Now, realizing that this method was truly effective, he naturally wanted to make the most of it; it could at least mollify Ning Xin’er, and at the very least, make her concede something for the child’s sake.

Suddenly, another series of flattery shot her way, "This isn’t just flattery, I’m telling the truth. When I heard that song, I was completely intoxicated, feeling as if the voice was truly heavenly, ensnaring one’s attention."

"Really?" Ning Xin’er squinted her eyes into slits, her face beaming with a smile.

"Of course, it’s true!" Li Yifei nodded earnestly and said, "I’m absolutely honest about this, Xin’er. I really had no idea you had such talent. You don’t know, when you were singing just now, it wasn’t just me; everyone around me was entranced, as if in a feverish madness. Even after you finished singing, they hadn’t snapped out of it yet."

"So, if I sing for you every day, would you then stay with me?"

That single question from Ning Xin’er left Li Yifei with a splitting headache—this woman simply couldn’t be praised too much.

Seeing Li Yifei’s troubled expression, Ning Xin’er immediately glared and said, "Hmph, I knew you were insincere. Nevertheless, you’d better listen up; if you’re not there when I sing later, I’ll immediately announce that I have a daughter, and her father is none other than Li Yifei."

"Yes, yes, I’ll be there," Li Yifei chuckled dryly, not daring to speak recklessly at this point.

Luckily for him, Ning Xin’er noticed the time and took the initiative to leave first, without accompanying Li Yifei downstairs. After all, her status was still sensitive; if anyone saw her together with Li Yifei, it would cause major trouble.

Li Yifei finally breathed a sigh of relief, although it was only a temporary respite. The trouble ahead was still enormous, and now with Ning Xin’er settling in Mile City, it promised to be quite lively. However, this was one kind of liveliness Li Yifei truly didn’t want.

After staying in the room for a while, he answered Michelle’s call. Li Yifei told her he was resting upstairs, and Michelle informed him they had started eating and asked him to come downstairs, which is when Li Yifei finally went down.

At Li Yifei’s table were Michelle’s classmates, and Michelle herself could not join them for the meal as she was occupied with accompanying Hu Shuzhe to toast. Li Yifei was not very familiar with these classmates, so the meal wasn’t particularly enjoyable for him.

Sun Li and Wu Lindong had intended to target Michelle, but there was no chance to do so now. They wanted to belittle Li Yifei, but at that moment, everyone was busy discussing the day’s wedding, especially the attendance of Ning Xin’er, which indeed made the wedding much more extraordinary.

For a wealthy man like Hu Shuzhe, having celebrities at his event was normal. Even bigger names than Ning Xin’er could be invited, provided the price was right. But Ning Xin’er was the type who wasn’t swayed by money, and no matter how much was offered, she wouldn’t come. In the entertainment industry, her attendance at such events was rare, which made it all the more precious and a hot topic of discussion.

With no one paying attention to the topic stirred up by Sun Li and Wu Lindong, Sun Li had no choice but to close her mouth, lest she come off as ungrateful and oblivious to decorum.

The music started again, and Ning Xin’er took the stage once more, immediately elevating the atmosphere of the banquet to new heights. Everyone stopped eating and drinking, all eyes fixed on Ning Xin’er performing onstage.

"Wow, did you guys notice that Ning Xin’er keeps looking over here while she sings?" One girl excitedly gestured and whispered to everyone.

"Yeah, yeah, she really keeps looking over here," another responded.

A boy casually remarked, "She couldn’t have taken a liking to one of us, could she?"

"Drop dead!"

"With that bear look of yours, you think Ning Xin’er would take a fancy to you? You really don’t know your place."

Several girls promptly criticized the boy, adamant in their belief that Ning Xin’er wasn’t eyeing anyone; they simply hadn’t noticed that Li Yifei, under Ning Xin’er’s gaze, felt a chill down his spine and was sweating profusely from his forehead.
