Chapter 715: Chapter 754 Living Together Is Safe

The person’s hand flickered, and a dagger shone with a cold light appeared in his hand. Realizing that Li Yifei had appeared behind him without a sound, he knew Li Yifei was a master, so he didn’t dare to be negligent and immediately revealed his weapon.

Crouching slightly, the dagger struck out toward Li Yifei like a venomous snake lunging for its prey.

Li Yifei’s heart tightened. A true expert reveals himself the moment he makes a move. With this person’s first strike, Li Yifei could sense his incredible strength, comparable to that of Zheng Mingrui.

Such masters were definitely few and far between. Li Yifei knew most of them, but the figure before him did not match any that he knew.

Li Yifei sidestepped, raising his leg to kick at his opponent’s wrist.

The person’s wrist shook, and he switched from a thrust to a horizontal slice toward Li Yifei’s ankle, showing a swiftness that even Li Yifei had to admire.

Li Yifei moved even faster, dropping his foot quickly, and threw a punch straight at his opponent’s chest.

By now, the assailant could no longer retaliate with the dagger, as his body seemed to be blown away by the force of Li Yifei’s punch, drifting backward.

The two had only just exchanged blows, yet they had both demonstrated their formidable skills. The assailant grunted, then spoke in stiff Chinese, "I didn’t expect there would be someone as capable as you protecting her."

Li Yifei did not make a move, just watched him coldly.

Their eyes locked for a few seconds, then the man’s body suddenly moved, darting past Li Yifei. With a leap, he flew out the window, as if jumping to his death.

Li Yifei did not try to stop him. If it were a matter of life and death, he was confident he could have killed the other man. But if the assailant was intent on fleeing, Li Yifei couldn’t keep him there. Since the man wanted to leave, Li Yifei didn’t bother trying.

"Are you alright?" Li Yifei asked Su Mengxin, sitting beside the bed.

Su Mengxin had woken up during the confrontation between Li Yifei and the man. Now, looking at Li Yifei with her bright, big eyes, she said with a smile, "If you had come any later, I probably would have been in trouble."

"Ha, then keep sleeping. I’m going back," he said.

"Kiss me!" Su Mengxin, appearing playful, reached out her arms from under the blankets. The recent intrusion did not seem to have scared her at all.

Li Yifei bent down and gently kissed Su Mengxin’s face. She released him contentedly, feeling a thrill at Li Yifei’s clandestine visit to her room, as if he had come for a secret midnight rendezvous.

Before leaving, Li Yifei adjusted some items around Su Mengxin’s room—alarm devices. He wouldn’t have known if anyone had entered her room without them; he had set them up after she moved in, and they had been unused until now.

Li Yifei did not discuss the intruder with Su Mengxin but took the window route back. Just as he climbed through his own window, the bedside lamp in his room suddenly turned on, and Xu Yingying awoke.

Xu Yingying had been unaware when Li Yifei left, but she had woken up to use the restroom and returned to find him missing from their bed, puzzling her. She searched the room but couldn’t find him until she noticed the open window and the noise by it, prompting her to swiftly turn on the bedside lamp.

"Husband! What are you..." Xu Yingying said in utter shock as she saw Li Yifei leap in through the window.

Li Yifei closed the window and spoke softly, "Someone broke into Mengxin’s room. I drove them off."

"Ah?" Xu Yingying jumped, feeling frightened at the thought of a stranger entering the house. As an ordinary woman, the mere notion was unnerving.

"It’s fine now, go to sleep," Li Yifei said as he gently patted Xu Yingying’s shoulder before lying down.

Now, Xu Yingying seemed genuinely scared, "Is that alright? Mengxin is sleeping alone in that room. What if something happens?"

"There shouldn’t be any more trouble. Knowing that I’m here to protect her, they won’t come back so soon after failing once. Besides, if someone enters her room, I’ll know right away."

"Really... who are these people?" Xu Yingying, unlike Su Mengxin who had experienced many such incidents, was facing this for the first time and was very worried.

Li Yifei said with a smile, "Given Mengxin’s status, there are those within the country who have their eyes on her. Then there are foreign powers, all watching her greedily. If they could abduct her, they would gain immense benefits."

"She’s too dangerous like that," Xu Yingying furrowed her brows.

"Don’t worry, I’ve set up something in her room. If anything happens, I’ll know."

"But that’s not good either. Wouldn’t you be on edge all the time, unable to rest properly? And what if you miss something and Mengxin gets into trouble? No, no! This is absolutely not okay."

"Do you have a better idea?" Li Yifei asked with a smile.

"This..." Xu Yingying had never dealt with such protective matters, and she was just getting anxious. When Li Yifei asked her, she was at a loss for an answer.

"Alright, let’s sleep. You don’t need to worry about this. I’ll protect Mengxin. Don’t forget what your husband does for a living. I’m best at protecting people."

Xu Yingying stopped talking, but she didn’t sleep at all. Instead, her mind raced with ideas. After more than half an hour, she suddenly nudged Li Yifei. He had already fallen asleep, but he woke up immediately when Xu Yingying nudged him and asked, "What’s up?"

"Honey, I’ve thought of something."

"Oh? What is it?" Li Yifei asked, puzzled.

"Let Mengxin live with us. That way, you can protect her," Xu Yingying said seriously.

Li Yifei’s eyes widened. "Have her live with us? The house isn’t that big. Where would she stay? In our room?"

"Of course not. What are you talking about?" Xu Yingying chided and gave Li Yifei a white look. "Haven’t we been saying that this place is too small? We might as well buy a bigger house. Then, Mengxin can live with us, and the security will be even better."

Li Yifei shook his head. "A villa or something like that would actually be less secure."

"Why is that?" Xu Yingying asked, puzzled.

"It’s simple. A villa is just like putting us behind a big gate. But for an expert, there are even more ways to get in. In contrast, in high-rise buildings like this, it’s much harder for someone to break in."

"I see... well then... I’ve got it. We can buy a bigger flat. Get one with four bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms. That way, we’ll have more rooms, and Mengxin can move in, plus our daughter can have her own room, and Shanshan can have her own room too. Even if Yiyi and Xiaoyao come to stay, everyone can still have a room."

"That idea doesn’t sound half bad," Li Yifei immediately said.

Hearing this, Xu Yingying beamed with joy. "Then that’s what we’ll do. Look for a house tomorrow. You don’t have to come to the office for now. Take care of this important matter first."

"Is it that urgent?"

"It has to be. Nothing is more important than Mengxin’s safety. You’re working at the company, but aren’t you also doing it for Mengxin? There’s no comparison in importance. So, it’s decided. You have to get the house sorted out as quickly as possible, preferably fully furnished. By the way, I think we have enough money. If not, I can borrow some from my parents. They still have money."

Li Yifei grinned. "Yingying, don’t forget that your husband isn’t penniless either."

Smiling proudly, Xu Yingying said, "Then even better. Just pick out the biggest one with decoration to buy. Hehe, we’ve been married for so long, it’s about time we get a new house."

Seeing Xu Yingying so excited, Li Yifei was also intrigued. Buying a house to make it their own home was indeed a nice thing.

The next morning, Xu Yingying announced the plan. Xu Shanshan was very happy when she heard about it. She just wanted to have her own room. Otherwise, when Li Yifei and Xu Yingying were being affectionate, she didn’t dare make a sound. The feeling of having to endure was too unbearable.

Little Yifei was also overjoyed. For a child, having a big house naturally meant there were more fun things to do.

Su Mengxin was quite surprised and hesitated a bit before saying, "That doesn’t seem right. Living next door to you is already a disturbance. If I move into your house, wouldn’t that be even more inconvenient?"

"What’s inconvenient about that? Isn’t it livelier with more people? And this way, if we need to discuss something, it’s more convenient. Besides, you won’t always be living here. When you are, I have to make sure Yifei guarantees your safety. If something really happened to you, I’d feel even worse. You are our bread and butter, after all. So, it’s settled," Xu Yingying declared.

Su Mengxin looked at Xu Shanshan, who couldn’t help but give a wry smile. If they all lived here, it would be harder for her and Li Yifei to be intimate in secret. However, Xu Yingying was so adamant, and considering the incident that had happened the night before, Su Mengxin and Xu Shanshan couldn’t find a reason to object. Reluctantly accepting the situation, they decided to think of another plan later.
