Chapter 849: Chapter 890 Xu Yingying Gets Angry
During the New Year’s period, Xu Yingying was truly happy. Even though she hadn’t regained her memory, her attitude towards Li Yifei had visibly improved, especially in the presence of her parents where their displays of affection seemed more natural.
The main reason was Li Yifei’s identity as her husband, which instinctively made Xu Yingying less resistant towards him. Plus, the way Li Yifei had behaved recently satisfied her greatly, so her attitude towards him naturally grew better.
Considering such developments, Li Yifei had every reason to believe that it wouldn’t take long before he could lead a true married life with Xu Yingying and truly have her accept him as her husband.
Happy times always flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of the new year. Li Yifei and Xu Yingying returned to Mile City. Although the Xu Zhenguo couple was reluctant to let their daughter and son-in-law leave, Li Yifei had his own family to consider. It wouldn’t be fair for the couple to spend all their time at her parents’ place and neglect his family.
But this also troubled Li Yifei as he watched Xu Yingying enthusiastically prepare gifts for their relatives. He couldn’t explain in front of her parents, and the more Xu Yingying elaborated, the less he could explain. He could imagine how angry she would be when she found out she couldn’t go.
Xu Shanshan, who stood by, looked at Li Yifei sympathetically. She knew this situation was tricky and wondered if the current Xu Yingying could accept it. Supposedly, there would have been no issue upon their return, but now, she had to accompany them back to help Li Yifei smooth things over, knowing he couldn’t manage alone.
On their way back to Mile City, Li Yifei didn’t mention it until they got home.
Little Yifei also came back this time, and she was less than pleased with their small home, pouting, "Daddy, why aren’t we going back to that home? It’s so much bigger?"
Xu Yingying, puzzled, asked, "Which home?"
Xu Shanshan quickly replied, "Yifei often stays with Mengxin and the others; everyone likes her, so she has come to think of that place as her home."
Xu Yingying frowned, "That’s not good, that’s not our home, it would bother others."
Xu Shanshan hurriedly added, "But Ning Xin’er is there, and children should see their mother. We shouldn’t say too much about it. It also makes Yifei’s meetings with Ning Xin’er more natural, so it won’t leave her with any psychological scars, and you agreed to this."
"Oh, so that’s it..." Xu Yingying felt that something might be amiss, but couldn’t pinpoint the exact reason, so she let it go for the moment.
Li Yifei gave Xu Shanshan a look and coughed softly.
Xu Shanshan rolled her eyes at Li Yifei with a somewhat awkward expression, and Xu Yingying, now suspicious, asked, "What are you guys doing?"
With an awkward smile, Xu Shanshan grabbed Xu Yingying’s arm and pulled her to the sofa, saying, "Sis, you might get upset over what we’re about to say, but we still need to inform you."
"What is it exactly?" Xu Yingying’s frown deepened.
"Um... your brother-in-law is going to his relatives’ house, and you can’t go."
"Why?" Xu Yingying was puzzled. She was already nervous about meeting Li Yifei’s family, having no memory or impression of them or whether they would get along, but Xu Shanshan’s words only added to her confusion.
"Well... the last time your brother-in-law went back to his hometown, he took... Ning Xin’er."
"Why?" Xu Yingying’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at Li Yifei.
Li Yifei knew Xu Yingying’s reaction would be strong, but seeing her genuinely upset still unnerved him. "That time, I happened to run into the Fourth Aunt, and Ning Xin’er and I were there to pick up the children..."
Li Yifei explained everything in detail, observing Xu Yingying’s expressions as he spoke, but her expressions didn’t improve, clearly unable to fully accept this explanation.
"Why didn’t you clarify this misunderstanding at the time? Even if it was a mistake then and there wasn’t time to explain, you could have taken me back to your relatives’ place later and explained it, couldn’t you? Do you still think about being with Ning Xin’er, is that why you refused to explain?"
Li Yifei wryly smiled, "I admit I didn’t consider it thoroughly at the time; my wife, this is all my fault. Let’s go back together this time, and I’ll explain everything to them."
"Do you think I really want to go back with you?"
Xu Shanshan rolled her eyes and said, "Don’t blame everything on your brother-in-law. You’re so busy with work that you hardly have time for anything else, let alone for your husband. You didn’t go back to your hometown because you didn’t have time, would your brother-in-law have let Ning Xin’er go with him if you had been available? Do you think he’d have continued this mistake on purpose?"
"Are you saying it’s my fault?" Xu Yingying glared at her sister.
"Hmph, it’s not just your brother-in-law’s fault alone, you are also responsible. It’s unfair to dump everything on him, and I can’t stand to see that."
"Whose sister are you, anyway?"
"I’m just being factual and objective about this; of course, I hope the two of you get along well. Who would hope you argue?"
At that moment, Xu Shanshan was full of vigor, not yielding as she locked eyes with Xu Yingying. Even if Xu Yingying had heard what was said between them, she was unclear about the details or how she had behaved herself, so she truly couldn’t judge correctly whether she was also at fault in the matter.
"Hmph, fine, I won’t go then. Go find Ning Xin’er," Xu Yingying snorted, stood up, and returned to her room, slamming the door shut with a bang.
Li Yifei looked at Xu Shanshan with a bitter smile; their relationship had just begun to improve, and it seemed as if it had regressed back to square one in the blink of an eye.
Xu Shanshan waved her hand confidently and said, "Don’t worry, it’s fine. You can’t always give in to her. Sometimes you need to argue with her; otherwise, how can you act like a married couple?"
Li Yifei shook his head helplessly. Under these circumstances, there was not much else he could do. Ning Xin’er had already upset Xu Yingying so much; if she knew about the relationships he had with those other people, he could only imagine how Xu Yingying might react without her memories.
"What’s wrong with mom?" Little Yifei, who had been timidly standing by, asked softly now.
Li Yifei picked up Little Yifei and said, "Nothing, daddy did something wrong, and mommy is mad at daddy."
Little Yifei immediately responded, "If you did something wrong, you should be scolded. Our teacher said that admitting mistakes is what good children do. Daddy, go apologize to mommy quickly."
Li Yifei was amused by his daughter and said, "Okay, okay, I’ll go apologize to mommy."
"Hurry up; I’ll supervise."
Li Yifei, holding his daughter, entered the bedroom where Xu Yingying was sitting on the bed with a very unpleasant expression on her face.
Little Yifei climbed down from Li Yifei’s arms and ran to Xu Yingying’s side. She grabbed Xu Yingying’s hand, her little face serious, and said firmly, "Mommy, I told daddy to come and apologize to you. Scold him hard so he knows his mistake."
Xu Yingying was indeed very angry; after all, Li Yifei was her husband, and yet he was going to bring another woman to meet his family. How could she accept this?
But Little Yifei’s adorable and serious demeanor almost made her laugh, and her expression softened considerably. She lifted her daughter onto her lap and asked, "Daughter, tell me, who do you like more, Ning Xin’er or me?"
"I like both, both you and Xin’er’s mom have been very nice to me."
"Suppose you had to choose one?"
"That..." Little Yifei tilted her head, nibbling on her finger in thought, then shook her head and said, "Why should I choose one? If you’re both Yifei’s mom, Yifei is very happy. If one of you stops being my mom, then I’ll have one less person to love me, and I wouldn’t be happy then."
Xu Yingying glared at Li Yifei and said, "Well, you’re really quite something, eating from the bowl and looking at what’s in the pot."
Li Yifei quickly said, "Yingying, I have already admitted my mistake. If you’re willing to go with me, I would rather suffer scolding from my relatives. It’s not a big deal."
Xu Yingying snorted and said, "That’s what you said, then I’ll go with you."
"Are you really coming with me?" Li Yifei looked at Xu Yingying somewhat skeptically.
"Of course, I need to be there. Why should I let someone else handle this?" Xu Yingying glared at Li Yifei, but she saw that he wasn’t troubled but instead was smiling broadly. Suddenly realizing she was fighting for the title of wife, she felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Don’t be so proud. After all, I am legally your wife."
"Right, right, then please, my wife, accompany me to meet my family tomorrow."
Seeing Li Yifei’s joyful face, Xu Yingying felt a bit hesitant and questioned, "Is it really okay for me to go? Won’t it cause a lot of trouble for you?"
"Whether it’s troublesome or not doesn’t matter. I’m going to visit my relatives and, of course, I should bring my own wife. Bringing Xin’er along isn’t quite right anyway; sooner or later, the truth would come out, and that would be even more troublesome."
Hearing Li Yifei speak this way, Xu Yingying felt even better, clearly becoming more important in his heart, and she no longer wanted to delve into the issue of him bringing Ning Xin’er along.
However, at that moment, Little Yifei looked up and said, "Daddy, why not bring both Xin’er’s mom and mommy along? After all, they both are my mommies, it would be nice if everyone could go together."
These innocent words from a child echoed in Li Yifei’s mind. Regardless of who her mommies were to Little Yifei, they were all her mommies, yet this statement made Li Yifei apprehensive, wondering if Xu Yingying might overthink it again.
