Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1436 - 1485: Li Yifei’s Way of Coaxing People
Although Xu Yingying was angry, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything harsh. Even now, she was only expressing dissatisfaction with what Li Yifei had just said, and not saying anything like if you’re not satisfied, then just leave me.
Li Yifei shook his head repeatedly and replied, "Quite the contrary, I’m very satisfied with you. And knowing you understand my intention, that’s why I chose that moment to speak. Darling, we’ve been together for so long, don’t you understand my feelings by now? How could I blame you? It’s just that the atmosphere at home felt so off, and I couldn’t think of a better way at the time other than to say those words. If you’re angry, I’m here for you to punish."
"I don’t even want to touch you. Just stay away from me, and I’ll be fine."
"I’m already far enough from you. I can’t even do those things with you right now." Li Yifei sighed.
Not bringing it up was fine, but at the mention of it, Xu Yingying suddenly became agitated again, pinching Li Yifei all over. Li Yifei didn’t dodge, treating it like a massage. When Xu Yingying finally had enough, he said, "Darling, you’ve had a hard time lately. I’m not at home, and the whole family has been relying on you all. I can’t fulfill my duties as a husband... Of course, I know you’ve had the hardest time. You have to strategize for the business battle against the Sunx and Song families, maintain the normal atmosphere in this big family without bias, and make sure they’re all comfortable. It’s tough, I know."
Xu Yingying snorted, saying disheartenedly, "What’s the use of saying all this? After all I’ve done, aren’t you still dissatisfied with me?"
Li Yifei quickly clarified, "I’m not dissatisfied at all, absolutely not. It’s just that I didn’t know how to ease their dissatisfaction, so I could only speak that way, to let everyone feel my thoughts. Although it was somewhat forced, it might have a better effect, just lacked some consideration. But I’m here explaining it to you now, aren’t I, my dear? Don’t be mad."
Xu Yingying pursed her lips, firmly pinched Li Yifei’s arm with her right hand and twisted it. Still not appeased, she rolled over and bit Li Yifei’s chest hard. She really used force, and Li Yifei felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He endured it, and when Xu Yingying released her bite, Li Yifei still looked at her gently.
Xu Yingying feebly hit Li Yifei once, swallowed back her complaints, and instead raised her hand to massage where she had just bitten him.
Seeing the clear bite marks, Xu Yingying frowned inwardly, thinking how could she have bitten so hard.
The room fell silent for a moment. Xu Yingying lay on Li Yifei’s chest, quietly listening to his heartbeat, but her body didn’t lean closer. No matter how angry she was, she couldn’t bear to make Li Yifei uncomfortable. This was probably love; because you love someone, many things can be overlooked and ignored. No matter how uncomfortable you are, when you see the person, you can’t bear to hurt them.
With her ear pressed against Li Yifei’s chest, she could hear his strong and powerful heartbeat. Thump, thump, thump, in sync with her own. It felt like if Li Yifei’s heart stopped beating, hers would too.
With that feeling, how could Xu Yingying stay angry or say words against her will?
Xu Yingying surrendered and gave up punishing Li Yifei. Of course, she understood why Li Yifei spoke those words in that setting, not to destroy the harmonious atmosphere at home, but to give everyone a warning, or perhaps just to provoke a little unhappiness. After all, being unhappy is also a way to vent emotions.
And Xu Yingying’s reaction at the time was most appropriate. If she didn’t leave, no one else would. When she walked away, the gathering quickly dispersed, fulfilling Li Yifei’s objective.
So, rather than saying Xu Yingying was angry, it was more accurate to say she was cooperating with Li Yifei from the beginning. This was also why Li Yifei could calmly hold Na Yi’s hand and escort her back.
Otherwise, with trouble brewing at home, if Li Yifei didn’t promptly salvage the situation and instead comforted Na Yi, just how big was his heart?
In this silence, neither wanted to break the tranquility. Xu Yingying’s gentle breathing could be heard as she leaned against Li Yifei’s embrace. The fatigue from these days washed over her, making her want to close her eyes and enjoy a comfortable sleep.
"I’ll help you dry off, and let’s go to bed, shall we?" Li Yifei said softly.
Xu Yingying murmured a response, feeling utterly relaxed. Her mind had already let go of the earlier unpleasantness. If she had to find an excuse, it was because she deeply loved this man and understood the reasoning behind his actions, making it impossible to stay angry. Otherwise, upon returning, she would not have resorted to a bath directly, without waiting for comfort from Su Mengxin and the others.
Maintaining the necessary attitude is essential, but Xu Yingying knows how to let go of unnecessary stubbornness. She’s no longer the woman who knew so little about relationships from a few years ago. The current Xu Yingying understands better how to support and understand her man.
Li Yifei tried not to look at Xu Yingying’s body as he lifted her from the bathtub, dried her quickly, wrapped a huge towel around her body, wiped her hair, and covered it. He also took off his soaked clothes, using True Qi rotation to evaporate the moisture, then put on his pajamas.
He picked Xu Yingying up horizontally and carried her to the bedroom.
He gently laid Xu Yingying down, and she closed her eyes. Li Yifei licked his lips, slowly leaned in, and placed a soft kiss on Xu Yingying’s lips. The fresh scent filled the air, making Li Yifei’s heart sway, as he deliberated whether to continue.
If he continued, Li Yifei would have to endure that storm of pain again, but if he didn’t kiss her... Li Yifei felt he would be letting Xu Yingying down.
Xu Yingying reacted, she was originally drowsy, but when Li Yifei kissed her, she immediately opened her eyes and pushed Li Yifei away, just like when they first kissed.
Li Yifei was slightly surprised and heard Xu Yingying say, "Hold me while we sleep tonight, but... no kissing. I can’t bear to see you suffer. If you really want to kiss, once you’ve dealt with what’s inside you, we can kiss for a whole day."
Li Yifei’s heart warmed up immediately, feeling incredibly touched.
Hugging Xu Yingying again, Li Yifei’s voice took on a different tone as he said, "Wife, I, Li Yifei, will never let you down in this life." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Xu Yingying released her bitten lips and said, "Just this life isn’t enough. I’ve given so much, how can one lifetime be fulfilling?"
"Mm, in the next life, and the one after that, we will be together, but I’m afraid you’ll get tired of it. You might feel unhappy always facing the same man."
Xu Yingying hugged Li Yifei’s waist, burying her head into it, inhaling the man’s scent, feeling an incomparable sense of peace. At this moment, she had no other thoughts, no anger, dissatisfaction, fatigue, or any other negative emotions.
A few minutes later, Xu Yingying suddenly lifted her head, opened her eyes to look at Li Yifei, smacked her lips twice, and said, "Tonight, you have to hold me while we sleep, okay?"
Li Yifei immediately nodded and said, "Okay, of course, that’s great. I didn’t plan on leaving when I came."
Xu Yingying smiled with her lips pressed together, but soon shook her head and said, "No, you still have to go to Mengxin’s place once, and visit the other women tomorrow."
Li Yifei raised his eyebrows, looked seriously at Xu Yingying, and heard her say, "Mengxin actually needs you more than I do, she’s been holding back and enduring all this time."
Li Yifei patted Xu Yingying’s back and said, "Alright, I’ll go over there, but I’ll come back and hold you while we sleep."
Once upon a time, Li Yifei could spend a whole night with Xu Yingying, completely devoted to her, and now even holding her while sleeping for a night had become a luxury.
Li Yifei felt emotional, unable to change things for the time being, but after experiencing the incident with Lin Qiong, he realized he must do something, or else an explosion could happen at home. That’s why he suddenly became so intimate with the women, including Na Yi.
He held Xu Yingying, letting her snuggle into the covers, as Li Yifei got out of bed, wearing slippers, ready to leave.
As Li Yifei turned to leave, Xu Yingying called out to him, so he turned back to look at her.
Only to see Xu Yingying pointing at her own lips, her small mouth slightly pouting, an irresistibly adorable expression emerging.
Li Yifei rushed over, propping his hands on either side of Xu Yingying, bending down to capture her lips in a forceful peck. He didn’t dare to kiss more, otherwise, he wouldn’t make it to Su Mengxin’s place.
Xu Yingying was satisfied with just this, and once Li Yifei left, she stretched out her tender little tongue, cautiously licking her lips. A blush gradually crept over her face, as if savoring the recent taste, unwilling to wipe away Li Yifei’s presence.
She reached out to turn off the bedside lamp, and in the darkness, Xu Yingying’s hand stealthily reached under the blanket, then slipped through her pajama pants, slowly exploring a mysterious place... Before long, a gentle hum resonated in the bedroom, but Li Yifei couldn’t hear it.
Li Yifei had already arrived at Su Mengxin’s villa. Su Mengxin had just finished bathing, after having done some aerobics and yoga earlier. Hearing a knock on the door, she walked over to open it, and seeing Li Yifei, Su Mengxin’s eyes showed slight surprise, as if asking why he had come to her.
Li Yifei walked in, looking up and down at Su Mengxin. This number one beauty in Huaxia was flawless in terms of facial features, figure, skin color, skin texture, and even hands and feet. The key was, she was not only outstanding externally, but Su Mengxin also worked hard to maintain herself.
Su Mengxin poured a glass of water for Li Yifei and came over to ask, "Is everything okay with Yingying?"
Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Mm, she’s fine now."
Then he added, "The bond between you sisters is truly strong. I went to her, and she sent me to you. When I come to you, you ask about her first."
Su Mengxin smiled smugly, sitting beside Li Yifei, her long legs partially exposed under the robe, crossed over each other, adding to her allure. Perhaps feeling it was too tempting for Li Yifei, Su Mengxin shifted position, using her robe to cover her legs.
