Chapter 842: Chapter 883: How Did I Get Another Daughter?

He Fangqing and Xu Yingying both sat in the back seat as Li Yifei started the car and headed toward He Fangqing’s house.

He Fangqing laughed and said, "Yingying, isn’t it nice? Working overtime and still having your husband pick you up; life is quite comfortable."

Xu Yingying glanced at Li Yifei who was focused on driving, then turned to He Fangqing and said, "Sister Fangqing, don’t tease me about this."

"Hehe, I won’t tease you anymore. I’m really exhausted today. You capitalists are too harsh on us workers. I’m demanding a raise and a bonus."

Xu Yingying smiled and said, "You’re in charge of the financial department; you get to decide who gets a raise."

"That won’t work; this is your family’s...," He Fangqing started but suddenly felt Li Yifei’s gaze from the rearview mirror and realized that she couldn’t just claim the company as Xu Yingying’s. Otherwise, Xu Yingying would question why it was hers, dragging Su Mengxin into it.

Xu Yingying immediately sensed He Fangqing’s hesitation and quickly asked, "What about my family?"

"Hehe... I meant you’re the boss, so it’s practically like it’s yours anyway. Of course, what you say goes."

"Look at what you’ve said. We’re all just working here. I can’t betray the trust Mengxin has in me; I must make the company better."

He Fangqing breathed a sigh of relief. As they reached her apartment complex, she said, "Alright, I really need to go home and get some good sleep."

"Go ahead. Oh, should Yifei stay with you?"

Both He Fangqing and Li Yifei were quite surprised by Xu Yingying’s suggestion, sensing an unusual atmosphere in the car. Xu Yingying immediately coughed and said, "Just kidding, just kidding."

He Fangqing playfully smacked Xu Yingying, and said, "Yingying, you really shouldn’t joke about that; wouldn’t that put me in an awkward position."

"Got it, go rest well."

He Fangqing then exited the car, waved goodbye, and entered the complex. However, she paused at the gate, watching as Li Yifei’s car slowly drove away, feeling a sense of loss. She wished Li Yifei could stay with her, but she knew it was impossible under the circumstances.

Now alone in the car with her husband, Xu Yingying felt quite uncomfortable and turned to look out the window instead of at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei drove leisurely and said, "You really don’t take good care of yourself, working so late every day and not eating properly. This time when I come back, I’m not going out again. I’ll take good care of you at home."

"No...no need, I can manage." Xu Yingying suddenly said in a flustered tone.

"Yingying, even though you don’t remember me as your husband and don’t feel that way, you still have to take care of your body. You can’t neglect everything else for work. The New Year is approaching, and we have to go home. If your parents see you’ve lost weight, they’ll think I haven’t taken good care of you."

"Ah! It’s almost New Year? Can’t we just not go home?" Xu Yingying suddenly panicked.

"Not go home? How can that be?"

"But... I’m afraid our parents will notice something’s wrong."

Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "The first time we went home, we had just met. Didn’t we act convincingly then? We’re much more familiar with each other now, right?"

"Sigh... The thought of it is giving me a headache." Xu Yingying sighed, knowing the visit was inevitable but still truly fearful. If they went home, she would have to act like a wife to Li Yifei without making her parents worry, and she didn’t know how she could pretend to do that.

"Are you worried... about us staying in the same room?"

"Ah!" Xu Yingying exclaimed again, not having thought about that. Li Yifei’s mention brought it to her mind, making her extremely uncomfortable.

"Hehe...worst case, I’ll just sleep on the floor again. The first time we stayed at your house, I slept on the floor. Time flies; a year has gone by just like that."

Xu Yingying tentatively asked, "Did you really sleep on the floor that time?"

"Of course. I was pretending to be your boyfriend; where else could I sleep? I had to get up early the next day and tidy up the bedding to avoid your parents seeing it, which could have given us away."

"So... you really slept on the floor?"

"Where else could I have slept? On the bed? You even secretly had a pair of scissors ready; I saw them, haha."

Xu Yingying couldn’t help but smirk and said, "It seems you were quite respectful."

"That’s right, otherwise, how could you have ended up marrying me?"

"Cut it out, you’re so scheming!"

"Mhm, I’m going to be ’scheming’ once more to win my wife over again."

Xu Yingying suddenly fell silent and turned to look out the window. Li Yifei, not knowing what he had said wrong and seeing that Xu Yingying didn’t want to talk, chose to quietly drive and not disturb her.

At home, Xu Shanshan had already gone to bed, and Xu Yingying had simply washed up, not taking a bath before preparing to return to her room.

However, she stopped and looked at Li Yifei, saying, "Is it cold tonight? Do you need me to get something else to cover you?"

"No need, the house is very warm," Li Yifei smiled and said. This was the first time Xu Yingying had shown concern for him since waking up.

"Okay!" Xu Yingying nodded and turned to enter her room.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another week had gone by. Li Yifei, Xu Yingying, and Xu Shanshan, the three of them, flew home together.

Xu Yingying was somewhat nervous. She really didn’t know how she would get along with Li Yifei after returning home, while Xu Shanshan was quite excited. For her, celebrating the new year was still a joyous occasion; she could play happily every day and no longer had to work hard.

As the three arrived at their doorstep and were about to knock, the anti-theft door was opened. He had been listening to the sounds from inside the living room and heard them as soon as they got out of the elevator.

Xu Zhenguo, while receiving their belongings, joyfully said, "You three are finally back, come in! Come in!"

"Dad!" All three called out in unison. Xu Yingying felt a bit uneasy with how naturally Li Yifei called out.

"Daddy! Mommy! Oh..." Little Yifei ran out excitedly, but his excitement paused when he saw Xu Yingying’s short hair, staring at her curiously.

Xu Shanshan immediately picked up Little Yifei, excitedly saying, "Sweetheart, did you miss Shanshan mommy?"

"I did... Mommy, why did you cut your hair?" Little Yifei sweetly asked.

Xu Yingying had widened her eyes, staring blankly at Little Yifei. She had no recollection of this little girl who was calling her mommy. Could it be that she had already had a child? But she had only known Li Yifei for a year at most; how could she have such a big daughter?

Seeing Xu Yingying’s strange expression, Li Yifei realized that she still didn’t know about this daughter. He was somewhat taken aback by the situation.

Xu Yingying was staring at Li Yifei, whom at that moment couldn’t explain to her yet, so he quickly picked up Little Yifei, laughing, "Come here, let daddy give you a kiss."

After kissing Little Yifei, Li Yifei said, "Sweetheart, were you unable to tell mommy and Shanshan mommy apart? Now that mommy has cut her hair, you can recognize her, right?"

Eagerly nodding, Little Yifei excitedly said, "Yes, now I won’t mistake mommy again, Mommy, did you miss Yifei?"

Although Xu Yingying was confused about how she suddenly had a daughter, seeing this daughter appear at home, familiar with Xu Shanshan and the parents, and quite welcomed, she suppressed her inner questions and hugged Little Yifei, "Of course I missed you."

Little Yifei hugged Xu Yingying’s neck, kissed her on the face, and happily said, "I missed Mommy too."

At that moment, Xu Shanshan took Little Yifei, saying, "Come, let’s see what I bought you."

Little Yifei immediately followed Xu Shanshan excitedly into her room.

"Hey, Yingying, why did you cut your hair?" Xu Yingying’s mother finally joined the conversation.

Xu Yingying quickly said, "The hair always grows back, this time I just cut it short."

"Ha-ha, it looks nice short too. Go change your clothes; you need a good rest at home this time."

Li Yifei and Xu Yingying entered her room, with Li Yifei closing the door behind them.

Xu Yingying lowered her voice, frowning, "What’s with this daughter?"

Li Yifei gave an awkward laugh, "She is a daughter I had with Ning Xin’er."

"With Ning Xin’er? Then why is she at our house?" Xu Yingying’s expression turned sour.

Li Yifei quickly explained briefly the situation between himself and Ning Xin’er to Xu Yingying.

"So that’s it. The child is indeed innocent, but... I saw Ning Xin’er the other day. Are you still in contact with her?"

"Well... she is still the child’s mother. If she wants to see the child, I can’t really deny her, can I?"

Xu Yingying glanced at Li Yifei twice, turned around to get clothes from the wardrobe, leaving Li Yifei feeling anxious.

"Since my parents accept it, I won’t say anything." Xu Yingying turned around, finally saying something to ease Li Yifei’s nerves.

"Wife, thank you."

"Don’t thank me. Honestly, I don’t feel much for you as a husband right now, so I don’t have much aversion to having another daughter."

Li Yifei felt a chill as Xu Yingying spoke, realizing that she must be harboring resentment. It was no wonder, as she had struggled greatly upon just learning of Li Yifei’s daughter, and had only accepted her after much consideration. If she had easily accepted this, she wouldn’t be the real Xu Yingying.
