Chapter 493: Chapter 502 Xu Shanshan’s Eccentricities

Ning Xin’er didn’t break her promise and took everyone to the airport the next day. Before passing through security, Ning Xin’er held her daughter close, showering her with kisses, unwilling to let go.

"My good girl, when you get there, you must listen to your godfather and not be naughty," she instructed.

"My good girl, you can’t be picky with your food at mealtime, or you won’t grow tall. Drink less soda and more plain water," she continued.

"If you feel unwell, you must tell your godfather," she added.

Ning Xin’er gave her daughter one instruction after another, but the little girl wasn’t paying attention at all. It was her first time flying, and she was anxious to get inside the big airplane.

As the time for boarding drew near, with only a little more than half an hour left, Ning Xin’er finally released her daughter. She turned to Xu Yingying with red-rimmed eyes and said, "Yingying, I hope you can be kind to Yufei. If you don’t like her, just tell me straight away. I will come to pick her up and won’t cause you any trouble."

Xu Yingying, witnessing the deep maternal love between Ning Xin’er and Little Yufei, felt a complex mix of emotions and nodded heavily, saying, "Don’t worry, I will definitely treat Yufei well."

"Thank you," Ning Xin’er bit her lip, finally uttering the words she least wanted to say, "You... you all should go."

Everyone went through security while Ning Xin’er stood at the checkpoint, unable to leave, as if she had lost her soul.

Su Mengxin stood by Ning Xin’er’s side and gently patted her on the shoulder, saying, "Alright, let’s go. You can visit anytime."

Ning Xin’er gave a forced smile and replied, "Yeah, I can go and see her."

Ning Xin’er, the big star holding her daughter so affectionately, would normally have been the focus of attention by now, but with Su Mengxin there, paparazzi were chased away by bodyguards early on. Moreover, everyone was gathered around Ning Xin’er, so this moment at the airport did not catch any journalists’ attention. Otherwise, the news of Ning Xin’er having a daughter would certainly have caused a huge stir.

The entire First Class Cabin was booked by Li Yifei’s group. His daughter and Chu Xiaoyao ended up sitting together. Chu Xiaoyao had supported Ning Xin’er, but in the end, it turned out like this, which made her feel she had lost face. As a result, she didn’t talk much to the others and kept company with Little Yufei instead. Luckily, Little Yufei had become quite close to her over the past days; this connection with Chu Xiaoyao helped restore some of her dignity.

Li Yifei and Xu Yingying sat together, finally sitting down for a proper talk after almost a month apart.

"Ah..." Xu Yingying suddenly let out a sigh.

Li Yifei asked, "What’s wrong?"

Xu Yingying forced a smile, glancing at Li Yufei to her side, and said, "I just feel like I’ve become a villain."

Li Yifei held Xu Yingying’s hand and replied, "We’ll just have to be extra good to our daughter from now on."

"Mhm," Xu Yingying nodded and gripped Li Yifei’s hand back, saying, "Don’t worry, what I promised Ning Xin’er, I promised to you as well."

Li Yifei squeezed Xu Yingying’s hand firmly and said, "I believe you."

When Xu Yingying turned to look at Li Yifei, she saw Ye Yunzhu and quickly assured her, "Yunzhu, don’t worry, I’ll treat your child the same way."

Ye Yunzhu’s mouth twitched and she replied, "There’s no need for that, I can take care of my own child just fine."

Xu Yingying wanted to say more, but at that moment the plane began to accelerate for takeoff, so she had to hold her words.

An hour and a half later, Li Yifei and the others had already landed in Mile City. They left the airport, and Ye Yunzhu promptly got into her car, which was driven by a colleague to pick her up. After a brief goodbye, she left.

Li Yifei too had some things he wanted to say to Ye Yunzhu, but now was not the moment. They could always get in touch with her, so there was no rush.

The rest of the group quickly dispersed. He Fangqing went straight home, and Michelle followed suit and left. Chu Xiaoyao was very straightforward; she went straight to the home of Li Yifei and Xu Yingying.

After a month away, as Li Yifei stepped into this house once again, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of belonging; he had to admit that unconsciously, he had come to regard this place as his home.

Little Yufei, however, was quite unfamiliar with this place. She clung to Chu Xiaoyao’s hand, looking around nervously. Xu Yingying immediately squatted down in front of Little Yufei and asked, "Yufei, how about living here from now on, okay?"

"No good!" the little girl promptly shook her head and said, "There are no toys here, no dolls."

Xu Yingying hurriedly offered, "In a moment, auntie will take you to buy loads of toys and dolls, okay?"

The little girl blinked her eyes and agreed, "Okay, but... this place is so small, where will I put them?"

Xu Yingying was stunned for a moment, then said, "That’s true, so I’ll buy a big house specially for Yifei to put her toys and stuffed dolls, okay?"

"Yay!" The little girl finally cheered up.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaoyao immediately smiled with joy. In this place, there clearly wasn’t room for her, but if they were to move to a bigger house, there would be a spot for her. She quickly said, "Then I’ll chip in too, I have to be part of it."

Xu Shanshan immediately said, "We’re buying a house for our family, why would we need your money?"

Chu Xiaoyao held her head high and said, "This is Uncle buying a house, okay? If Uncle is buying a house, of course, I should be included."

Xu Shanshan was about to respond when Xu Yingying said, "You don’t need to chip in, but if you want to come live with us, I definitely won’t have any objections."

"Really?" Chu Xiaoyao looked at Xu Yingying dubiously.

Xu Yingying revealed a gentle smile and said, "Your uncle has promised to take care of you, so naturally, it’s also my responsibility. Our home is your home too."

Chu Xiaoyao was still skeptical as she looked at Xu Yingying, "But I’ve been opposing you these past few days, why are you still so nice to me?"

Xu Yingying touched Chu Xiaoyao’s head and said, "In my eyes, you’re also a child. Why would I be angry with you?"

"I am not a child, I’m eighteen already, I am Uncle’s mistress," retorted Chu Xiaoyao, shaking off Xu Yingying’s hand and grabbing Li Yifei’s arm with a proud expression.

Xu Shanshan curled her lip, and seeing this, Chu Xiaoyao immediately said excitedly, "Although I haven’t made love with Uncle, I helped everyone out with my mouth the night before last, doesn’t that count as being a mistress?"

Li Yifei instantly felt a headache, Xu Yingying’s face turned crimson with annoyance as she shot Li Yifei a look, while Xu Shanshan’s eyes actually revealed a look of surprise.

Li Yifei coughed and said, "Xiaoyao, don’t talk nonsense. You shouldn’t say such things in front of Yifei."

Chu Xiaoyao stuck out her tongue, then winked triumphantly at Xu Yingying, "You’re Uncle’s wife, but even if you try to kick me out, it won’t work, I’m here to stay with Uncle."

"Alright, I definitely won’t kick you out," Xu Yingying was overwhelmed by Chu Xiaoyao. They needed to end this topic, or who knows what else the young girl might say next, which wouldn’t be good for Yifei.

Although their home wasn’t very spacious, it was enough to accommodate Chu Xiaoyao and Li Yufei. Li Yifei and Xu Yingying shared one room, Chu Xiaoyao moved into Xu Shanshan’s room, and their daughter, Little Yifei, stayed with Chu Xiaoyao. The young girl wasn’t accustomed to sleeping with Li Yifei yet, and being with Chu Xiaoyao was more to her liking.

Even though Little Yifei had switched to a new place, she didn’t cry or fuss. For one, there were many people around—Xu Shanshan and Chu Xiaoyao could play with her. Secondly, Li Yifei had promised to take her to the beach the next day, so she was too excited to remember her fake parents or Ning Xin’er.

After ten at night, Li Yifei and Xu Yingying were already lying in their bedroom. Xu Yingying was curled up in Li Yifei’s arms, not even wearing a nightgown, bare on top, wearing only underwear, while Li Yifei was also only in his underwear.

"Wife... I..." Li Yifei, holding Xu Yingying, felt he had a lot to say, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn’t utter a single one.

Xu Yingying covered Li Yifei’s mouth, her face flushing as she said, "Husband, you don’t have to say anything. No matter what you’ve done in the past, no matter how complicated your past relationships were, I only know you’re my husband, and I’m your wife."

Li Yifei was moved and hugged Xu Yingying tightly.

"Husband, love me!" Xu Yingying said as she delivered a kiss.

What else could Li Yifei say then? Any other woman would have probably turned against him long ago, but Xu Yingying, without a word of complaint and still treating him so well, only left Li Yifei with one option: to kiss her fervently, showing her in action that he also cared for her.

Reunion was sweeter than a honeymoon; that night, Li Yifei and Xu Yingying enjoyed the greatest conjugal bliss. The couple’s affection, after the separation of a month, had grown even deeper.

The next morning, Li Yifei and Xu Yingying got up early. It was the weekend and they could have slept in, but having promised Little Yifei a trip to the beach, they had to rise earlier.

Li Yifei came out to prepare some breakfast only to find someone lying on the living room sofa, which surprised him. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Xu Shanshan, who, hearing his footsteps, also opened her eyes and stretched with a languid "Good morning, brother-in-law, you’re up."

Li Yifei asked in confusion, "Did you sleep on the sofa last night?"

"Yeah," Xu Shanshan sat up, smiling flirtatiously, her eyes bright and spirited.

She had the same look as Xu Yingying when she woke up in the morning, the look of someone who had been pampered; so what was the deal with Xu Shanshan? Why did she too have that flirtatious air about her?
