Chapter 717: Chapter 756: Heart-to-Heart Between Sisters

Everyone took their seats in the living room, but Li Yifei took Su Mengxin upstairs, as some things needed to be rearranged. However, this time the process was much simpler, primarily ensuring that the bedroom windows were secured. Once that was done, Li Yifei was not worried about anyone breaking in.

These items were not something Li Yifei had to prepare himself. With just a word from Su Mengxin, her bodyguards had already prepared everything for him.

Although Su Mengxin’s bodyguards had limited interaction with Li Yifei, they were very willing to accompany Su Mengxin to Mile City. Here, Su Mengxin’s safety was hardly their concern, making it feel like a vacation. Thus, they were all very grateful to Li Yifei and would go out of their way to help him if he had any requests.

As Li Yifei explained the uses of some gadgets, particularly a few she should not tamper with, Su Mengxin felt an indescribable sweetness in her heart.

"Yifei, how would it be if I lived here for the rest of my life?" Su Mengxin suddenly asked softly.

Li Yifei paused then turned to look at Su Mengxin. It was the first time she had ever mentioned such a thing. Although both had admitted their feelings for each other, they had never discussed the future.

"Why? Don’t you want me to live here?" Su Mengxin asked with a smile, looking at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "Of course I’d like that, but what about Yingying?"

"Yingying is of course your wife. Since she can accept Xiaoyao and Yiyi, surely she can accept me too."

"Yingying can accept Xiaoyao and Yiyi because she is a strong woman. Although Chu Xiaoyao is mischievous, she respects Yingying a lot, and Yiyi is even more compliant towards Yingying. So in Yingying’s heart, they do not pose a threat to her, which is why she agreed to let them in. But with Ning Xin’er and Yunzhu, she just can’t accept them. Even though she tacitly acknowledges my relationship with Yunzhu, she has never considered living together with us. They are, after all, considered equals in Yingying’s eyes, but you... in her heart, you’re like a boss. She might truly struggle to accept it, or rather, if she were to find out about our relationship, I don’t even know how she would react."

Su Mengxin remained composed and said with a smile, "I just want to ask you this, do you want me to live here with you in the future?"

Li Yifei nodded without hesitation.

Su Mengxin smiled sweetly and said, "Then that’s settled. I will take care of everything; you just enjoy the benefits."

Li Yifei rubbed his nose, feeling that her words sounded familiar. After a little thought, he realized this was what Xu Shanshan often said and couldn’t help chuckling. "No wonder Shanshan gets along best with you, you two really do have things in common."

Su Mengxin chuckled playfully and said, "Yes, and there’ll be even more in common in the future."

Li Yifei, looking at Su Mengxin’s demeanor, couldn’t help but want to hug her, but she stepped back with a grin and said, "From now on, you need to be careful with me in this house. Before I succeed, you can’t let Yingying suspect anything, not even a hint in your eyes or expression."

Li Yifei was startled. Su Mengxin’s confession made his feelings for her intensify suddenly. Had she not reminded him, his looks towards Su Mengxin would indeed become different in the future. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I understand."

"Alright, let’s go downstairs once everything is set."

Both descended the stairs to find Ning Xin’er had already left. Xu Shanshan, Xu Yingying, and Su Yiyi were chatting on the living room sofa, while Little Yifei was running around the house—such a large space was convenient for her play.

Su Yiyi’s face was flushed with excitement and emotion. She could have lived in Xu Yingying’s previous home, but there was no room specifically for her, so she lacked a sense of belonging. But this time, she was given her own room here, signifying that this was genuinely her home now. She really wanted to say something to Xu Yingying, but when the words reached her lips, she didn’t know how to start.

After a cheerful chat, everyone prepared to rest. Li Yifei, Xu Yingying, Su Yiyi, and Su Mengxin all went upstairs.

"I’m going to take a shower," Su Mengxin smiled at the three before heading straight into the bathroom.

Su Yiyi opened her mouth as if to speak but hesitated. Knowing that Su Yiyi had something to say, Xu Yingying then smiled and said, "Yiyi, come on, let’s talk in the room. Yifei, you go and take a shower first."

Li Yifei agreed and smiled at Su Yiyi, then entered a different bathroom. The two bathrooms upstairs were quite spacious, and the original owner had prepared them well for showering.

Su Yiyi and Xu Yingying entered Li Yifei and Xu Yingying’s bedroom, closed the door, and sat down, holding hands. Xu Yingying asked, "Yiyi, is there something you want to tell me?"

Su Yiyi bit her lip and finally whispered, "Sister Yingying... Can I really live here?"

Xu Yingying looked at Su Yiyi and slowly nodded, "Of course it’s true."

Su Yiyi, excited, gripped Xu Yingying’s hand tightly, "Sister Yingying... I... I... I’m really so grateful to you, I don’t even know what to say."

Xu Yingying sighed silently to herself. Regarding Su Yiyi and Chu Xiaoyao, Xu Yingying had indeed agreed to both of them, but in her heart, she had other thoughts. Right now, both Chu Xiaoyao and Su Yiyi were not very old and were utterly enchanted by Li Yifei, very infatuated with him. It wouldn’t be easy to separate them, but if she waited a few more years, if the two of them continued only in the status of lovers, it was likely that they would increasingly not want to live like that and would eventually marry someone they could spend their life with.

However, as she got to know them better, she came to understand that Su Yiyi’s feelings for Li Yifei were not just infatuation but genuine and deeply rooted—a kind of stubbornness that unless you forced Yiyi to leave, she would stay with Li Yifei for a lifetime, even without any formal status. This made Xu Yingying feel like she was shooting herself in the foot.

Since things had come to this point, there was no longer any possibility of pushing Su Yiyi away, so all Xu Yingying could do was to change her mind and truly accept Su Yiyi. Of course, another main reason was Su Yiyi’s character—she had never given Xu Yingying any displeasure, and she always treated Xu Yingying with various respects, which, although somewhat uncomfortable for Xu Yingying, made it impossible for her to get angry with Su Yiyi.

"Yiyi, actually, you don’t have to say anything. Now that things have come to this, let’s just live together well. Sometimes I’m not a good wife, I pay too much attention to my career, so in some areas, I need you to take care of Yifei. Let’s consider it a kind of complementarity."

Su Yiyi hurriedly said, "Sister Yingying, whatever you ask me to do, I will do. I will listen to you in everything."

Xu Yingying found these words comforting and said with a smile, "It’s not necessary to go that far. Although I am Yifei’s lawful wife, you don’t need to be so careful with me; that would make me uncomfortable too. I hope you will be more natural and really treat this place as your home."

"I will..." Su Yiyi nodded firmly, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Xu Yingying chuckled lightly, "Okay now, we’ll be good sisters from now on. Don’t always look at me with those eyes; you’re scaring me."

This made Su Yiyi relax a great deal, and she smiled sheepishly, "I got it, Sister Yingying."

"Hehe, then if you don’t like staying at school, you might as well come home to live every day. Let Yifei take you in the morning; it won’t take much time."

Su Yiyi quickly shook her head, "No, I’d better still live at school on weekdays."

"What’s wrong? Don’t you like living at home?"

"It’s not that..." Su Yiyi’s face turned red.

"Then what is it?" Xu Yingying asked curiously.

Su Yiyi bit her lip, fidgeted with the corner of her clothes, and her face turned even redder, as if about to bleed.

Xu Yingying was even more puzzled and pressed, "What’s really going on?"

"I... I want you and Brother Li to spend more time together. If I come back... it will always... take away some of your time together."

Xu Yingying stared at Su Yiyi in amazement, speechless for a long time. She had heard of women competing for a man’s favor, and had heard quite a lot of it, but she had never heard of such deference. Su Yiyi was just too heartbreakingly considerate. It made Xu Yingying feel decidedly abashed. She now understood even more deeply why Li Yifei liked Su Yiyi so much. Yiyi’s love was selfless total devotion, not a love that takes but gives. To love to such an extent was beyond description.

"Yiyi!" Xu Yingying held Su Yiyi’s hand tightly, speaking with utmost seriousness, "Don’t think like that. I won’t be upset because of it. And you know, I have a lot of work on weekdays, I even have to deal with many things when I get home at night. I hardly have time to chat with Yifei. If you are at home, you can spend more time with him and chat, which is also very helpful for the harmony of our family. Listen to me, try to stay at home as much as possible, and go to school only if there are special circumstances."

Su Yiyi could feel Xu Yingying’s sincerity, looked up, and her eyes were brimming with tears. She was too choked up to speak.

Xu Yingying reached out tenderly to wipe Su Yiyi’s tears and said, "Silly girl, why are you crying? If Yifei comes in, he’ll think I’ve been bullying you."

"Ah, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m just too happy," Su Yiyi quickly wiped away her tears, trying to stop them from falling, but the tears simply wouldn’t stop, which made her even more flustered. She stood up hurriedly, "Sister Yingying, I’m going back to my room, so Brother Li doesn’t see and misunderstand." Then she ran out in a fluster.

Xu Yingying sat on the bed, shook her head, and sighed after a while. Comparing herself to Su Yiyi, she felt she was truly not a qualified wife. A girl like Su Yiyi was more suited to be Li Yifei’s wife.
