Chapter 890: Chapter 931 Displaying Talent

Li Yifei had no choice but to hurry up his shower. If Zheng Yuling came back, it would get even more difficult for him. Swiftly washing his hair and rinsing off the foam, Li Yifei wrapped himself in a bath towel, finally feeling a bit settled.

He cautiously listened for any noise outside. Once he was sure no one was around, Li Yifei then went back to Su Mengxin’s bedroom.

This time, Li Yifei hadn’t brought any clothes, but Su Mengxin had prepared some for him. He found a pair of underwear and changed into pajamas. Instead of going downstairs, he went straight to bed. He wanted to avoid meeting Xiao Ling’er and the others; seeing them would really stress him out.

After about half an hour, footsteps echoed in the hallway. Although there were several people, only Su Mengxin came to his door, which made Li Yifei very happy.

Su Mengxin pushed the door open, a faint smile on her face, and said, "Haven’t you slept yet?"

Li Yifei grinned and replied, "I was waiting for you."

"What were you waiting for me for?" Su Mengxin sat on the bed, her smile teasing as she looked at Li Yifei, her eyes and brows exuding charm that nearly bewitched him and stirred his desires.

He gently took Su Mengxin’s delicate hand, his eyes filled with tender affection, and asked, "What do you think?"

Their fingers intertwined, and their gazes locked, but Su Mengxin suddenly gave a wry smile and said, "Were you really planning on making me yours today?"

Seeing Su Mengxin’s expression, Li Yifei suddenly felt unsure and replied, "What’s wrong? I didn’t mean to pressure you."

"It’s not that you’re pressuring me, but the timing is really unfortunate. I just started my period yesterday..." Su Mengxin pouted, her frustration obvious.

Li Yifei was slightly taken aback, then burst out laughing and replied, "That is indeed unfortunate. But you don’t need to be so upset, right?"

"How can I not be? It’s been such a long time, and just when you finally let go, it happens to be this time again. I’ve been looking forward to this for so long, and now we still can’t."

The more Su Mengxin expressed her discontent, the happier and more content Li Yifei felt. A woman yearning for him was a matter of pride for any man, especially when it was a woman like Su Mengxin, which was the ultimate honor for a man.

"All right, we have our whole lives ahead of us. It doesn’t have to be today or tomorrow. Let’s just go to bed, and let me hold you to ease my longing."

"Wait for me, I’ll tidy up a bit," said Su Mengxin as she stood up and hurried out of the bedroom, returning six or seven minutes later.

Soon, they were rolling around in bed. Although they couldn’t do much, they could still kiss, and that kiss was dizzying, a consolation fo their longing. However, when Su Mengxin was about to pleasure Li Yifei in a certain way, he stopped her.

"What’s wrong?" Su Mengxin looked at him, surprised.

"You’re feeling terrible but still trying to help me. Afterwards, I might feel good, but you’d feel even worse. It’s better for us both to be uncomfortable than just you. That seems fair."

Su Mengxin smiled warmly and replied, "Fair enough, I can’t let you have all the advantages." She crawled next to him and snuggled up like a little bird nestling against its mate.

"Stop it, or it will be even harder," Li Yifei caught Su Mengxin’s hand.

Su Mengxin’s fingers playfully scratched the palm of Li Yifei’s hand and asked, "What about Yingying?"

Li Yifei and Xu Yingying’s relationship had progressed rapidly. Whenever he talked to Su Mengxin on the phone, he couldn’t help but share his joy, and now Su Mengxin was probing, "At first, I thought Yingying might have remembered, but after testing a few times, it seems like she hasn’t recalled anything. But even if she doesn’t remember, there won’t be any issues now."

Su Mengxin gave a slight smile, "For you, as long as she has you in her heart, there’s no problem. But for us, whether she remembers or not is very important. If she hasn’t recovered her memory, accepting us would be difficult. But if she remembers, then we could go back to living like we used to."

Li Yifei nodded in agreement, "I understand that too, but unless Yingying truly accepts me, I can’t help her recover her memories. Only when she truly accepts me can I slowly help her find her past memories."

"That’s true, then let’s wait a bit longer. After all, Yingying is your official wife, and we all have to step aside."

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile, saying, "Mengxin, are you jealous?"

Su Mengxin pouted slightly and replied, "I used to think I wouldn’t get jealous, but with Yingying acting like this all the time, I really am a bit jealous now."

"Really? But your jealous look is really cute."

"A woman only gets jealous because she truly loves that man. If she doesn’t get jealous, doesn’t that mean she doesn’t love him?" Su Mengxin playfully blinked her eyes.

Li Yifei laughed heartily, then changed the topic, saying, "Today’s direct conflict with He Zhenyang and Chen Fangzhou wasn’t in my plan, it looks like I need to change my strategy."

Su Mengxin squeezed her face into Li Yifei’s armpit and said, "Whatever you think, just do it, you’re the head of the family after all."

Li Yifei patted Su Mengxin on the shoulder and replied, "Clearly, it’s you making me do this, and here you are playing ostrich."

"I didn’t say or do anything. I just felt that at that time, my man should make his own decision. Whatever you want to do, I support you."

Li Yifei was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but say with a mixture of laughter and tears, "I thought you deliberately stayed out of it because you wanted me to fight with them and then win over the Xiao Family and Zheng Family. In the early stages of my development, their strong support would make my work twice as effective."

Su Mengxin, surprised, raised her head and looked at Li Yifei, saying, "During the fight, you actually thought of that..."

"Yes, I intended to clash with He Zhenyang and Chen Fangzhou, but not to the extent of causing severe friction with their two major families. Even if they wanted to deal with me, considering my previous status, they would have some reservations. During the early stage of my family’s development, they wouldn’t necessarily put a lot of effort into dealing with me. Overall, the benefits clearly outweigh the drawbacks."

Su Mengxin’s face was filled with delight, saying, "Yifei, you are really impressive! I really didn’t expect you to think so thoroughly at that time!"

It was only then that Li Yifei realized that Su Mengxin hadn’t come forward at that time and it wasn’t as he thought. He quickly humbly said, "So, do you think I’m right?"

Su Mengxin nodded, saying, "If you could win over the Xiao Family and Zheng Family, it would definitely be more beneficial than detrimental. But there’s an important issue—how can you truly form a strategic alliance with the Xiao Family and Zheng Family? Based solely on today’s events, you wouldn’t likely achieve an alliance with them, and might even turn them into enemies. They are now intermarried with the He and Chen Families, tied together by huge interests. You stirring things up means disturbing the collective interests of all four families."

Li Yifei suddenly frowned and said, "I really hadn’t considered that. It seems today’s actions were indeed problematic, and significantly so."

"The problem is not small, but it’s not unsolvable."

"How can it be solved? Quickly tell me, I really haven’t figured it out." For Li Yifei, Su Mengxin was a think tank, a super think tank, especially in these matters.

Su Mengxin suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, making Li Yifei a bit on edge and uneasy.

"It’s actually quite simple. Just acknowledge your relationships with Ling’er and Yuling, and then you’d become their son-in-law, wouldn’t that make you family with them?"

From Su Mengxin’s smile, Li Yifei guessed she would say something like this, and immediately said with a wry smile, "Mengxin, stop teasing me. Let’s not talk about the emotional aspect, just the benefits and drawbacks. You know your grandfather’s attitude because of you; he’s only compliant because you’re determined and he can’t change your mind. But Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling don’t have that kind of influence. If I really did this, their families would definitely explode in anger and hate me even more. After all, if this gets out, they’d lose face."

He paused, seeing Su Mengxin listening intently, and without interruption, Li Yifei continued, "And with my current status, even as the leader of the Flying Hawk Squad, at most I might be able to reach some common interests with one of the families, but definitely not as much benefit as a union with the He and Chen Families could bring about, let alone two families. Thus, neither in terms of face nor benefits, neither Xiao Ling’er nor Zheng Yuling sticking with me conforms to their families’ interests, it would only bring me more trouble."

Su Mengxin’s face spread into a wide smile, her eyes dreamily fixed on Li Yifei, "I just knew the man I chose couldn’t be wrong, not only invincible on the battlefield, but also unbeatable in anything else."

Li Yifei sweat a little and said, "Mengxin, let’s not overdo the hero-worship, tell me first if my thoughts are correct?"

Su Mengxin grinned, saying, "Your thoughts are indeed correct, but there’s one more thing you haven’t considered."

"Oh?" Li Yifei looked at Su Mengxin curiously, feeling that he had been very thorough, but what Su Mengxin said he hadn’t considered must be something even more important.
