Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1435 - 1484 Xu Yingying Throwing a Temper Tantrum

"No need, it’s comfortable this way." Li Yifei walked with his bare feet slapping on the floor, while paying attention to the arrangement in the room.

After Na Yi moved in, the house was filled with a lot of green plants. She had a natural affinity for plants, and as she planted them, they grew willingly, flourishing with lush greenery over time.

Staying in such a space would unconsciously lift one’s spirits.

Li Yifei directly led Na Yi upstairs to her bedroom. After looking around for a while, he nodded in satisfaction, sat down on the bed, and looked up at Na Yi.

Na Yi, like a child who did something wrong, twisted her hands in front of her and dared not meet Li Yifei’s gaze.

The room suddenly became quiet. Li Yifei wore a smile on his face, while Na Yi glanced left and right, unsure of what to do. Could it be that Li Yifei was going to eat her?

If not, then why was he acting so unusually today? Na Yi remembered that Li Yifei had said that only when he resolved the worm inside him would he be with her.

Breaking the silence, Li Yifei patted the spot next to him and said, "Come sit here!"

Na Yi hesitated for a moment but moved over involuntarily and sat beside Li Yifei. Li Yifei put an arm around her shoulder, and Na Yi shivered slightly but did not pull away.

Li Yifei took a deep breath, savoring the scent from her body, which made him feel relaxed. The faint aroma of plants was invigorating.

The man’s warm breath on her neck made Na Yi shiver with a pleasant tingling sensation that spread quickly until half her body felt that tingling.

After holding Na Yi quietly for a few minutes, Li Yifei gently patted her shoulder and said, "Alright, it’s getting late. Go take a shower and get some good rest."

Na Yi had been prepared to be ’eaten’ by Li Yifei, but she felt conflicted. Hearing that Li Yifei was leaving, Na Yi actually breathed a sigh of relief, nodded vigorously, and said, "Hurry and go!"

"Oh, you want me to go so much." Li Yifei immediately widened his eyes, pretending to be fierce, as he looked at Na Yi. Na Yi spun her head and quickly explained, "No, no, I certainly want to be with you, but... I also want you to take care of the elder sisters so I can be at ease."

"Silly girl!" Li Yifei tapped Na Yi’s little nose with a finger. She pouted, and Li Yifei leaned over to kiss her cheek. Na Yi jumped back like a startled rabbit, only to see Li Yifei already at the door.

"Yifei!" Na Yi called out.

Li Yifei paused with his hand on the doorknob and turned back.

Na Yi gathered her courage, and with slightly parted lips, she said, "I love you. I’m always willing to give myself to you, but it can’t be right now. I want to become part of the Li family, but I need everyone’s acceptance. Only when your condition improves will I truly give myself to you."

Li Yifei smiled at Na Yi and, after a few seconds, nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll remember that."

He twisted the doorknob and walked out, still wearing the smile on his face. Right now, at home, it’s only when he’s with Na Yi that the damn worm inside him doesn’t act up. Instead, there’s a buoyant feeling, and the closer he is to Na Yi, the stronger that joyful feeling becomes. Like just now when he held Na Yi’s hand, the feeling was very clear. And when he hugged her, it felt even more comfortable.

Li Yifei now doesn’t resist this feeling; he just fears losing himself in it.

The cool night breeze blew, clearing Li Yifei’s mind. He knew that talking about such things during dinner was inappropriate, but he had his reasons. The atmosphere at home seemed harmonious because everyone shared a common goal, channeling their discontent against the Sunx and Song families. The Sunx family was about to go under, the Lin family was half-ruined, and the Song family would find it hard to stand alone.

Then, the women of the Li family might suddenly relax, feeling aimless, and that would be when internal conflicts within the Li family might arise.

Li Yifei hoped he was just overthinking it, but after mentioning it, he realized he hadn’t thought enough. Conflicts still existed among the women at home.

Addressing them early is better than letting them fester and explode later, which would be troublesome.

Li Yifei glanced up at Xu Yingying’s room, where the light was on, but he couldn’t see inside. He tried the door, only to find it locked. Li Yifei chuckled, abandoned the main door, and went below the balcony. After stepping back a few paces, he suddenly launched forward, one foot against the wall, leveraging his momentum to leap onto the second-floor balcony. He tried the window, finding it locked as well, but that wasn’t a problem for him. He had just acquired a small hairpin from Na Yi, which he now straightened into a thin wire. Inserting it into the window slit, he gave it a gentle twist, and the lock clicked open.

Li Yifei discarded the wire, clapped his hands, and slid the window open, stepping inside.

The room was lit, but Xu Yingying was not there. Li Yifei, with a slight sense, knew where she was.

In the bathroom, Xu Yingying was completely bare, her body submerged in the water. She had a face mask on her face, even covering her eyes, while enjoying a bath. When Li Yifei turned the bathroom door handle, she heard it, removed the eye cover, and looked calmly as Li Yifei walked in.

It seemed like she had anticipated this, Xu Yingying merely glanced at him and didn’t even speak.

"Honey, why don’t you react at all when you see me?" Li Yifei pouted, pretending to be dissatisfied as he spoke.

Xu Yingying ignored him, using her hands to gather the bubbles in the bathtub to cover her vital parts, so Li Yifei could only see the exposed part of her neck.

Li Yifei walked over, squatted by the bathtub, and seeing Xu Yingying still ignoring him, he couldn’t help but reach out, wanting to hold Xu Yingying’s hand.

Xu Yingying immediately hid her hand under the water, so Li Yifei would have to reach into the water to grab her hand.

A second later, Li Yifei’s hand moved swiftly, accurately catching Xu Yingying’s hand, pulling it out of the water. But during the process, Li Yifei touched something he shouldn’t have, which was Xu Yingying’s smooth, plump chest. Just a slight touch made Li Yifei’s heart contract painfully.

Without any change on his face, Li Yifei held Xu Yingying’s hand with both hands, kissing it appreciatively. When Xu Yingying applied force to her arm, trying to pull it back, Li Yifei quickly held on to her hand.

With a face mask on, Xu Yingying’s expression was hard to read, but she merely glanced at Li Yifei and said lightly, "Don’t tease me; if you do, you won’t be able to satisfy me."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Dear wife, I know you’re not angry, so stop pretending. Don’t you know your acting skills aren’t very good?"

Xu Yingying immediately glared at him and said, "I’m not acting; I really am angry and unhappy. Go away, don’t disturb me."

Li Yifei laughed heartily, stepped directly into the bathtub without taking off his clothes, squeezed in a spot, wrapped one arm around Xu Yingying’s neck, holding her, while the other hand still held Xu Yingying’s hand.

Xu Yingying’s bathtub was exceptionally large, designed with sharing a bath with Li Yifei in mind, an oversized multi-person bathtub, so even when Li Yifei lay in, it didn’t feel cramped.

Xu Yingying gritted her teeth and turned her head to the other side, refusing to cooperate with Li Yifei.

Li Yifei leaned into Xu Yingying’s ear, intentionally exhaling warm air, softly saying, "Dear wife, you’re so smart, you must know why I said that just now, so stop being angry."

Man has to be tough when needed, and soft when needed, Li Yifei knew this well, so he shamelessly clung to Xu Yingying, even if she looked at him with disdain.

"No, I’m really angry now. My man brings another woman home, then orders us old women around, criticizing us. Why shouldn’t I be angry? I have every reason to be angry."

"Silly baby, don’t you know you look adorable when you pretend to be angry, and your words become childish, too?"

"I’m naturally childish! I’m ignorant, don’t know how to maintain family harmony, and I’m not capable. If you’re not satisfied, you can replace me."

"Hahaha!" Li Yifei couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

This laughter, however, incensed Xu Yingying. She disregarded revealing herself, forcefully propped herself up to push Li Yifei away, but her strength couldn’t match Li Yifei’s, remaining firmly held in his arms.

After struggling for a while, only exposing herself further, certain parts becoming visible, Li Yifei’s gaze became fixed, forcing himself to look away, otherwise, he’d break down before finishing talking; his heart was already faintly hurting.

Xu Yingying gave up struggling, leaned into Li Yifei’s embrace, and fell silent.

Li Yifei rolled a strand of her wet hair around his fingers, twisting and releasing it, and after repeating this several times, he spoke, "Dear wife, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have said those things at the dining table just now."

"Hmph," Xu Yingying responded with a sound.

"But there’s already a crisis brewing at home, I had to say it that way; you understand the reasons, so don’t be angry with me, otherwise, if you hurt yourself being angry, I’d be the one feeling distressed."

Seeing Li Yifei saying it directly, Xu Yingying coldly said, "I’ve never considered myself the head of the household. Everything is discussed with everyone, not just with Mengxin, but with other sisters as well, yet you said such things, wasn’t it showing dissatisfaction with me in front of everyone, not managing your harem well, causing resentment among everyone? If that’s the case, then you should quickly find someone else to decide household matters."
