Chapter 853: Chapter 894: Husband Kisses Wife

The next morning, Li Yifei and Ning Xin’er brought Little Yifei back to Mile City. With that, the New Year celebrations were pretty much over. They could rest for another day tomorrow, but the day after, it would be back to normal work.

Ning Xin’er didn’t head straight home. Instead, she wanted to stop by Li Yifei’s place for a while to talk to Xu Yingying, to prevent any misunderstandings from forming in her heart.

"Thank you for this, you’ve really helped me out," Xu Yingying said as she invited Ning Xin’er to sit down, with the air of a lady of the house.

Ning Xin’er gave a small smile and said, "Don’t mention it, it’s really no big deal. As long as you’re not overthinking it, that’s good. I was already in bed last night and half-asleep when I heard Yifei talking to you on the phone."

Xu Yingying’s face flushed red, but she quickly covered it up, saying, "I just had some idle matter to discuss with him, it’s not that I don’t trust you guys."

Ning Xin’er laughingly said, "It’s normal not to trust. I mean, Yifei and I do have a child together. Anyone in your place, knowing that I slept in the same room as him, would have thoughts.

Xu Yingying coughed lightly and said, "I’m not that petty of a woman, and men like that really aren’t worth much. If you want to get back with him, you don’t have to be courteous with me about it."

Ning Xin’er laughed, "I’ll pass on that, thanks. I’m truly out of his heart; I wouldn’t be able to win him back even if I tried. If it wasn’t for our daughter, I wouldn’t bother putting up with his cold looks for no reason."

Xu Yingying listened and felt quite at ease. Her hostility towards Ning Xin’er lessened quite a bit as she said, "Mm-hmm, everything’s for our daughter. Feel free to come over more often; she’s happy to be with you."

"That would be inappropriate; if I ever caused you and your husband to fight, then I’d feel terribly guilty."

With Ning Xin’er using this tactic of retreating to advance, Xu Yingying, who would normally spot such a tactic in business, was now easily fooled in matters of the heart. She hurriedly said, "There’s no such thing, I trust you. It’s right for you to come over whenever. If you don’t, then I’ll have to pick a bone with you."

Ning Xin’er almost let slip that they should all move back into the big family house, but thankfully realized that broaching such a topic now would be rushing it and merely nodded, saying, "Then I’ll take you up on that offer and come bother you when I’m free. I just hope you won’t find me annoying."

Xu Yingying waved her hand generously and said, "Absolutely not, feel free to come over anytime."

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan were chuckling on the side. They felt that Xu Yingying was really inviting the wolf into the den by doing this, but of course, neither of them would point it out, as it was a matter that would benefit everyone.

Ning Xin’er did not stay too long before she left. Xu Yingying turned to Li Yifei, pretending nothing had happened, and said, "You must have had a good time visiting the relatives, huh?"

Li Yifei grinned and said, "Of course, they’re all the relatives I have. Seeing them puts me in a great mood. Oh, and I told my cousin that you’re my wife. I asked him to talk to the family, and we will visit them together during the Lantern Festival."

"What... what? How... how can we do that?" Xu Yingying’s eyes widened in panic.

"What’s wrong with that? You are my wife, and I can’t keep hiding it forever. That would be too unfair to you. It’s better to let them know sooner, even if it’s hard for them to accept at first, rather than them finding out later on."

Xu Yingying stammered, "But... that’s not such a good idea. Your family would think you’re being reckless."

"It’s fine. For my wife, even if I get scolded by them, it’s worth it. Most importantly, I can now bring my wife home openly."

"You..." Xu Yingying felt moved, yet still stubbornly said, "I... I haven’t agreed to truly be your wife yet."

Li Yifei reached out and took Xu Yingying’s hand. She struggled a little in a fluster, while Xu Shanshan cheerfully said, "Yifei, let’s go play in the room."

"Sure!" Little Yifei responded, and ran off to the room with Xu Shanshan.

Xu Yingying’s cheeks turned a rosy red and she twisted slightly, trying to pull her hand back gently, shyly saying, "Let go, Shanshan and the daughter saw us, it’s not a good look."

Li Yifei held onto Xu Yingying’s hands firmly, gazing intently into her eyes with a tender look, and said, "Wife, you look really beautiful like this."

"I... You can’t use words like that to make me happy."

Li Yifei earnestly said, "How is this just to make you happy? Haven’t you heard others say you’re beautiful?"

"Others are others, you are you, and this is just sweet talk."

Li Yifei grinned and said, "If a husband can’t even say sweet nothings to his wife, then how can he make her happy?"

Xu Yingying bit her lip and said, "How am I supposed to know if you’re for real or not."

"Well, you’ll see over time. We have a whole lifetime ahead of us. I have the patience to wait until you truly fall for me. Even if you can’t remember the past for the rest of your life, you’ll still believe that marrying me is the wisest choice you’ve ever made."

Xu Yingying spat at Li Yifei jokingly and scolded, "Keep dreaming; I haven’t seen any of your good points yet, just a whole bunch of flaws." But her face already wore a seductive smile.

Li Yifei, seeing Xu Yingying like that, couldn’t hold back. He pulled Xu Yingying’s hand, and she involuntarily leaned into Li Yifei’s embrace, while Li Yifei’s lips landed on Xu Yingying’s forehead.

"Ah!" Xu Yingying tensed up instantly, then fiercely pushed Li Yifei away and jumped up, her face flushed, she scolded, "You jerk, taking advantage of me."

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself." Li Yifei immediately admitted he was wrong and said, "I promise it won’t happen again, unless you agree."

"You big hooligan." Xu Yingying spat at Li Yifei and dashed into the bedroom.

Seeing Xu Yingying like this, Li Yifei couldn’t help but smirk. She wasn’t really angry, it was just a girl’s shyness. In Xu Yingying’s heart, she probably was a girl who had never been in love. Even a kiss on the forehead was quite an intimate act for her, and feeling overwhelmed by it in the moment was perfectly normal.

At this moment, the phone rang. It was Koboto Kobayashi calling. Li Yifei went out to the balcony before answering.

"Mr. Golden Eagle, the task you gave me is already taken care of."

"Thank you, President Koboto." Li Yifei was also quite polite in his response.

"Mr. Golden Eagle is too polite. I’ll naturally take care of what I promised. I hope we can have even better cooperation in the future."

"That would be good."

"However, you also know that this item is too sensitive. I can only place it somewhere and dare not use our people to deliver it to you. If someone discovers that we did this, it would be a devastating blow for us."

"I understand. Just tell me the address, and I will arrange for someone to retrieve the item."

Koboto Kobayashi promptly gave Li Yifei the address, pointing out nearby significant landmarks, exchanged a few more pleasantries, then hung up.

Li Yifei ended the call and turned to face Xu Yingying who was standing behind him with a look of surprise, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You can speak Japanese? And you’re so fluent?" Xu Yingying eyed Li Yifei as if she didn’t recognize him.

Li Yifei proudly waggled his phone and declared, "Your husband can speak eight languages; Japan is no big deal."

"Eight, pfft, you don’t even draft your boasts." Xu Yingying rolled her eyes disdainfully, then curiously asked, "The person you were in contact with is Japanese?"

"Yep, I have a mission that requires assistance from someone in Japan. I’ll be heading out again in the next few days."

"Going out again? Will it be dangerous?" Xu Yingying’s brow furrowed.

Li Yifei smiled slightly, "Wife is getting more and more concerned about me."

"Stop it, be serious. I get the feeling you’re not up to any good. Let me tell you, if you’re doing anything illegal or disorderly, I’ll kick you to the curb myself."

"Don’t worry, I’m doing good things, things that are beneficial for the country and the people."

"Sure, how impressive." Xu Yingying still didn’t believe him.

Li Yifei let out a chuckle, "Whether you believe it or not doesn’t matter, but I really can’t tell you about this. It involves very sensitive matters."

"Something so secretive?"

"Yeah, it’s a national task; I have to do it. I’ll just be gone for a few days and will be back soon."

"Stay as long as you like, why are you telling me? The house is much quieter without you." Xu Yingying tossed her head and then turned, marching out from the balcony, chest out.

Li Yifei watched Xu Yingying strut like a proud little hen and a bright smile appeared on his face. His wife was actually quite entertaining.

Because the matter was of great importance and it was inconvenient to involve other people or departments, Li Yifei decided to go himself. He wasn’t aimless like before; he needed recognition from the national authorities, a strong backing, and such acceptance couldn’t be gained just on the merits of past military service or personal connections. He had to make significant contributions to the country to gain real influence.

Retrieving the item himself would show that he had the most contribution in the task – and that credit he needed.

This time, Li Yifei didn’t go alone; he took Sophia with him. For a task like this, it was best to have few people involved, and having Sophia, a top-notch expert, was more than enough.

Sophia, this woman, had an almost unparalleled loyalty to Li Yifei now. Whatever Li Yifei said was the law for her. A strong person, once they truly submit to someone else, their loyalty is beyond imagination, and Sophia was exactly this kind of person.
