Chapter 915: Chapter 956: Preparing for the New Home

Li Yifei was no longer a solitary man. He had gathered quite a few people these days, and anyone who caught his eye was naturally no weakling. Moreover, they had to possess a high enough quality, as these were the core members of his future family. Li Yifei first chose those who were loyal enough to him, and then capability came second.

If they weren’t loyal, no matter how capable they were, Li Yifei wouldn’t use them. They wouldn’t be of any help and might even become a major threat.

However, even those whom Li Yifei deemed not strong enough were considered experts in the eyes of regular people. Especially when compared to those small-time gangsters, they were worlds apart. Yuren Second Generation was envious of the people Li Yifei brought with him. He even tried to train his subordinates a bit, but soon realized it was a futile effort. His men were just good at bootlicking, but when it came to real quality, it was all nonsense.

Li Yifei now needed these subordinates to handle many things for him. Although Old Master Su said that establishing a family was a thankless task, he knew he needed to form his own core team to be accountable to his family.

With the demolition matters settled, the next step was to bring in workers to level the existing buildings here. Then, the construction could begin immediately. However, Li Yifei still didn’t have a complete plan for this place, and it was something that needed to be decided promptly.

It happened to be the weekend, so Li Yifei asked Chu Xiaoyao to come back and gave Su Mengxin a call, inviting her over too. However, he didn’t invite Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling as he didn’t yet feel they were part of his family.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yifei decided to call Lin Qiong.

"Hello, what’s up?" Lin Qiong’s tone was still sharp.

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Do you have time to come over to my place for a meal?"

"To your place?" Lin Qiong exclaimed.

Li Yifei could imagine Lin Qiong’s surprised expression and quickly explained, "It’s like this, I bought a piece of land, and we’re figuring out how to build on it. You should come give us some suggestions, you have a stake in this too."

Lin Qiong replied without hesitation, "I won’t go. In what capacity would I go? What if your wife kicks me out? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?"

"Yingying isn’t home, everyone else is here. It’s a big deal—we’re all discussing it together."

"Yingying’s not home? Even so, I’m not going. Do you think I’m your mistress? No way."

Li Yifei felt a bit helpless. Lin Qiong indeed had a strong personality. She was once a very simple girl, but as she climbed higher in rank, and not solely on her own merits, her mindset changed. She became more serious and assertive in her work. As for love, she never agreed with the likes of Ye Yun and others, and she still didn’t.

"Alright, I’ll talk to you later." Li Yifei could only say this for now.

"Wait, if you don’t want me to go, then I insist on coming." Lin Qiong said before hanging up.

Li Yifei held the phone, feeling a bit amused and helpless. Lin Qiong was just like that—stubborn, but that was her unique style.

Not long after, Lin Qiong hurried over, and Li Yifei specially went to the entrance of the community to meet her.

"Qiongqiong, you’re here." Li Yifei greeted her with a smile.

Lin Qiong didn’t give Li Yifei a friendly look. Instead, she shot him a glance and said, "You’ve got some moves."

Li Yifei chuckled, "Alright, don’t fuss over that. This is a big deal, and we’re waiting for you to join in the discussion."

"Really? Am I that important?"

"Of course."

"Hmph, you dared to do something so big while your wife is not home. Let’s see if she kicks you out when she finds out."

"She won’t. I’m planning to surprise her later."

"Pfft!" Lin Qiong snorted but followed Li Yifei into the community.

However, once in the elevator, Lin Qiong’s expression became a bit awkward. She nudged Li Yifei with her elbow and said, "I’m not familiar with them. I’m telling you, if they say something unpleasant to me, I’ll turn around and leave."

"Don’t worry. As long as you don’t get upset, no one will make it difficult for you."

"So, you’re saying that I’m the one with the most problems?"

"Not exactly. It’s just that you have your own style, and that’s what I like about you."

"You just know how to sweet-talk." Lin Qiong gave Li Yifei a sideways glance but seemed a bit nervous. It was her first time meeting these women of Li Yifei’s and discussing such a major family matter together. She wasn’t quite used to it. Even though she accepted her relationship with Li Yifei, she wasn’t ready to coexist peacefully with other women. Besides, she was a police officer, and if word got out, it would surely be a big problem for her.

Furthermore, her strong-willed nature meant she couldn’t see herself getting along with others amiably, especially if she couldn’t have Li Yifei all to herself.

Li Yifei put his arm around Lin Qiong’s shoulder and said, "Alright, don’t overthink it. Today, we’re just discussing how to build the house. As for other things, we’ll leave those for later."

"That would be best."

The two opened the door and entered. The sight of a room full of women in the living room made Lin Qiong feel a bit dizzy. Each woman here was an absolute stunner. Li Yifei had managed to bring them all together, and compared to them, she felt she had no advantage at all, which dampened her spirits a bit.

To Lin Qiong, there wasn’t anyone here she was particularly familiar with, perhaps only Ning Xin’er. They had interacted a few times and had initially planned to join forces to snatch Li Yifei away, but Ning Xin’er soon switched sides after being comforted by Li Yifei, and they hadn’t interacted much since.

"This is Lin Qiong. You all know her, so I don’t need to introduce her much. Come, everyone, take a seat. We need to finalize this today so that I can get a professional designer to draw it up for us."

Ning Xin’er, being the most familiar with Lin Qiong, came over and took Lin Qiong’s hand, saying, "Lin Qiong, come on. We’ve been waiting for you."

"Traitor!" Lin Qiong muttered under her breath.

Ning Xin’er’s face showed some embarrassment, and she could only offer Lin Qiong an apologetic smile. Lin Qiong could only roll her eyes and say, "Too easily swayed just by a few sweet words."

Ning Xin’er sensed Lin Qiong wasn’t particularly angry and smiled, "I’m sorry. But now everything’s good, and everyone’s quite happy. Come on."

Everyone finally sat down. The house was quite full now. Su Mengxin, Ye Yunzhu, Su Yiyi, Ning Xin’er, Chu Xiaoyao, Lin Qiong—all of them were considered Li Yifei’s women. Although Lin Qiong knew them all, their interaction was limited, making her the least familiar with them. Xu Shanshan, Li Yifei’s sister-in-law, was there, representing Xu Yingying.

There was also Meng Xiaofei, who happened to be home today. This kind of matter couldn’t exclude her. She had already considered this place her home, and everyone else treated her as part of the family.

Of course, there were also the two little treasures. Little Yifei was curiously looking at a map spread on the coffee table, which showed the location of their future home. Little Yixiang was in Su Yiyi’s arms; ever since she returned, she had taken a liking to holding Little Yixiang, showing a strong maternal instinct.

Li Yifei gazed at everyone, feeling a special sense of happiness in his heart. These women were all his, and he aimed to carve out a space for them.

"Now that the demolition’s done, there aren’t many buildings left on the land. I don’t want to keep any of the original structures, so it should be quick to demolish. I think within a few days we can finish it and then start building our own home. But we still don’t have a complete plan. Since everyone’s here today, let’s study together how to build a house that everyone will be happy with."

After a pause, Li Yifei continued, "Once this home is built, it’s not going to be demolished any time soon. So, whatever requirements you have, feel free to voice them. The place is big enough for everyone to have their independent living areas, or we can live together. How you want to live, what kind of house you want to build, you decide. Another major thing is the layout of the courtyard; think carefully about where to build what so that when we’re done building, it’s not missing anything."

Chu Xiaoyao was the first to jump in, saying, "I want a swimming pool, not the rectangular kind like in sports centers—it has to be pretty."

Li Yifei chuckled, "That’s absolutely not a problem. Xiaoyao’s suggestion is excellent." His eyes had a clear glint of excitement.

Chu Xiaoyao giggled, "Of course, I’m Uncle’s close confidant, after all. I like to think of ways for you to live the happiest life."

Li Yifei nodded repeatedly, "Very good, very good. Xiaoyao’s a good kid, deserves a reward."

Seeing Li Yifei’s contented expression, the others couldn’t help but scoff at him. With only Li Yifei as the sole man in the house, and them all having that kind of relationship with him, who knew what kind of outrageous things might happen if they all went swimming together.

Ye Yunzhu quickly jotted it down.

With the first suggestion made, everyone quickly chimed in. Someone suggested building a garden, another wanted a sports field, and another wanted a vegetable patch. Ye Yunzhu noted everything down.

Lin Qiong hadn’t spoken initially but saw that everyone was enthusiastically discussing without mentioning any romantic ties. She also realized that with such a large space, it really was a dream home. The idea of living there excited her, and she unwittingly joined in.

They first mentioned the essentials, and then, looking at the terrain, they discussed where each could be built and how large it should be. There was no end to the ideas, and if they tried to cover everything, even a plot twice the size might not be enough.
