Chapter 919 - 960: Wife, You’re Really Generous

Chapter 919: Chapter 960: Wife, You’re Really GenerousWhen he got home in the afternoon, the women immediately shooed Li Yifei away and huddled together, whispering eagerly. Whenever he approached, they would stop abruptly as if they were discussing something they didn’t want Li Yifei to know about.

From their mischievous expressions, Li Yifei guessed they must be preparing a birthday present for him, or perhaps planning his birthday celebration.

During his childhood, Li Yifei’s birthdays were simply marked by his parents making him some delicious food. After joining the army, Li Yifei had all but forgotten about his own birthdays. The one that left a lasting impression on him was during his senior year of high school.

It was on that birthday that Ye Yunzhu kissed him, and it was that birthday when Li Yifei and Ye Yunzhu truly became a couple. Even though it wasn’t the day when Ye Yunzhu first gave herself to him, that birthday was indeed unforgettable for Li Yifei. From that birthday on, he genuinely pulled himself together.

Li Yifei knew that if he asked them, they definitely wouldn’t tell him, but pretending to not notice anything would make them feel disappointed, which would be like not paying them any attention at all.

So, when he saw them gathered together discussing again, Li Yifei always played along. He approached them and said with a grin, "What are you all re

"Don’t compliment me like that. Who asked me to be so unlucky to have found a husband who already comes with a child? It would be different if you had a normal marriage and then divorced, but to have Ning Xin’er simply give birth like this, I can’t quite drive her away and have to accept it. Hey, what’s with that expression? Don’t you believe me?"

"It’s not that I don’t believe you, wife, but this doesn’t seem real. My wife asking me to have an affair?"

"Dream on, what affair? She’s your daughter’s mother, right?"

"Right, right, my mistake. But it still feels like a dream."

"Stop pretending. But these next few days, you need to stay home and spend time with me. Don’t go see her. Once I’m gone, do whatever you want."

"Alright, I will definitely spend the next few days with you, wife."

The couple then returned to their cozy home. A small separation felt like a new marriage; Xu Yingying, seeming suppressed for too long, initiated a kiss as soon as they entered, and they soon rolled to the bed while kissing, leading to wild lovemaking.

Perhaps the separation had indeed invigorated their marriage, or maybe Xu Yingying had truly embraced her role as a wife, but she seemed much more uninhibited in bed, not just letting Li Yifei take the initiative. After one round, she initiated another, much to Li Yifei’s surprise.

After their love-making, they went out to eat. Then Xu Yingying had Li Yifei take her to her office. Later, he would accompany her to an evening cocktail party.

It was the first time Xu Yingying had actively asked him to join her at such an event, intending to semi-publicly introduce Li Yifei as her husband, at least announcing it to some important individuals.

Li Yifei happily agreed, as building a family now, he couldn’t maintain a low profile anymore. He needed the entire Mile City to know that Li Yifei was an important figure to be respected and admired, not someone to be troubled with nuisances as before.

Moreover, Xu Yingying asked Li Yifei to bring Su Mengxin and Ning Xin’er along. It made sense for Su Mengxin, but bringing Ning Xin’er seemed like she might introduce her publicly as well. Nevertheless, Xu Yingying entered her office without giving Li Yifei a chance to discuss it further.

Li Yifei had to rush home to inform Su Mengxin and Ning Xin’er about the plan. Ning Xin’er panicked a bit, "Is...is it appropriate for me to go?"

Su Mengxin reassured her with a smile, "Don’t worry. Did you listen to Yifei? Yingying genuinely doesn’t mind and won’t harm you. We are just there to boost the Li family’s prestige."

Back at home, Su Yiyi and Ye Yunzhu were also present. Su Mengxin addressed them, "Yunzhu, Yiyi, don’t feel upset. I believe we all won’t be out too late."

Ye Yunzhu laughed, "I’m currently taking care of a child; even if you asked, I couldn’t go."

Yiyi sweetly smiled, saying, "Sister Mengxin, Sister Xin’er, don’t worry about us. I’m very happy now."

Ning Xin’er then nervously asked, "What should I wear?"

"How many cocktail parties have you attended?" Su Mengxin teased with a smile.

Ning Xin’er grimaced and said, "But Yingying will be there too. If I dress too fancy and overshadow her, won’t that upset her? And if I dress poorly, wouldn’t it embarrass Yifei?"

Li Yifei felt a hint of distress but embraced Ning Xin’er and said, "Don’t overthink it. Dress as beautifully as you can. I’m your fan, remember? You can’t disappoint your fan."

Encouraged by Li Yifei, Ning Xin’er finally relaxed a bit, but she still spent a long time choosing with Su Mengxin and others, eventually settling on a deep blue cheongsam.
