Super Soldier in the City

In the end, Li Yifei still didn’t ask Meng Xiaofei for help. This is at home, and unless he completely clarifies the relationship with Meng Xiaofei, it’s better not to go too far, this is Li Yifei’s thought. Each woman’s personality is different, Meng Xiaofei seems easygoing and a foodie, but in reality, she’s also very sensitive.

Of course, Li Yifei knows she’s actually a very passive woman; just taking the initiative is already difficult for her. If Li Yifei rejects it, it might make the little girl hesitant to take the initiative again in the future.

He thought for a moment and said, "Xiaofei, do you like me?"

"Huh?" Meng Xiaofei was bold enough to try to help Li Yifei, only to be refused, leaving her a bit hurt. When she suddenly heard this question from Li Yifei, she couldn’t help but be surprised, lifted her head, and widened her eyes at Li Yifei. She instinctively wanted to shake her head, but as she started to do so, tightened her muscles, she immediately stopped, with a voice in her head asking, "Do you like me? Do you like Li Yifei? Do you like him?"

Do you like him or not, Meng Xiaofei asked herself, the answer was quite obvious. She didn’t even need to think for long to give an answer. Faced with Li Yifei’s gaze and question, Meng Xiaofei slowly nodded and said, "I do."

"Do you want to be with me?" Li Yifei continued to ask.

Meng Xiaofei’s heart started racing, she could hear nothing but her heart wildly beating. This question was too sudden. They’ve known each other for years, experienced so many things together, witnessed the rise of the Li family. Has Meng Xiaofei ever thought about being together with Li Yifei? Of course, she has thought about it, but thinking is one thing, actually deciding is another. At least, for now, Meng Xiaofei hadn’t quite figured it out.

Meng Xiaofei replied, "Aren’t we already together now?"

Li Yifei exhaled deeply, nodded, and said, "Alright, then I understand."

Hey, what do you understand? Meng Xiaofei’s body jolted, her eyes widened, wanting to ask something because Li Yifei’s expression was visibly a little disappointed, making Meng Xiaofei anxious. She immediately thought of the reason; just now, when Li Yifei asked her, she replied with, "We are together now," which seemed to mean she still preferred their current mode of interaction: he as the older brother, she as the younger sister, rather than something further.

This was Meng Xiaofei’s uncontemplated response; once she realized, she immediately wanted to regret it, especially seeing Li Yifei’s slightly disappointed appearance. Meng Xiaofei wanted to call out.

Li Yifei clenched his fists slightly, feeling a bit disappointed in his heart. They’ve done almost everything people in a relationship would do for so many years, even from the moment Li Yifei returned from the military. There have been countless entanglements with Meng Xiaofei; they know each other very well. It took a lot to try and pierce the paper window, but the answer wasn’t ideal.

However, it doesn’t matter; Li Yifei respects Meng Xiaofei’s choice and won’t force her into anything. Even if he knows that by using some force, Meng Xiaofei might naturally become his woman, but... Meng Xiaofei is different; she holds a special significance.

When Meng Xiaofei felt a pang in her heart, unable to help but want to argue, Li Yifei clapped his hands and said, "Oh right, I need to go to the Northwest to attend a wedding and also take Na Yi to visit her family."

"Huh? Oh." Meng Xiaofei nodded absently.

"Do you like any Northwest snacks? I’ll bring them for you." Li Yifei asked.

"Me?" Meng Xiaofei pointed to herself, seeing Li Yifei nod. She then said, "You know me; I generally like anything delicious. But if you ask me what to eat... um, bring a few portions of crispy duck. As long as it’s tasty, I’m good with it."

"Haha, alright, I’ll bring plenty for you." Li Yifei said with a smile.

Meng Xiaofei puffed up her cheeks, seeing Li Yifei steer the conversation away. She couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed; why didn’t he ask one more question? At the same time, she felt a bit annoyed with herself, why did she hesitate earlier, and as a result, missed the opportunity. But now, she can’t bring herself to bring the topic back up again.

Clearly, we were close to breaking through the shroud, Meng Xiaofei bit her lip, didn’t even catch what Li Yifei said afterward.

"Xiaofei?"

"Huh?"

"What’s the matter?"

"Nothing, I... I might be a bit tired." Meng Xiaofei said absent-mindedly.

"Tired? All right, I’ll go back first. You take a nap, and I’ll call you for dinner." Li Yifei understood and said.

Meng Xiaofei gave a small response, Li Yifei got up and walked out, closing the door behind her. Meng Xiaofei collapsed weakly on the soft sofa, let out a heavy sigh, feeling she had just been too... slow. Why did she hesitate?

Poking through the window paper and becoming Li Yifei’s official girlfriend or wife is a change in identity. Meng Xiaofei feels a bit annoyed, but there’s nothing she can do about it because Li Yifei is gone. She rubs her cheeks, looking at herself in the mirror, not young anymore. If the person is not Li Yifei, who could she find, who would she go to?

Shaking her head, Meng Xiaofei sinks into contemplation. Her nerves are not finely tuned, her personality a bit wild, but that doesn’t mean everything is dealt with the same way. When it comes to matters of the heart, Meng Xiaofei still needs to think it through.

Li Yifei walked out of Meng Xiaofei’s house, looked up at the starry sky outside, and rubbed his face. He initially thought the situation would naturally resolve itself, considering at home there was Na Yi and Meng Xiaofei, while privately others would persuade Li Yifei to take her.

Li Yifei had made up his mind, but didn’t expect it not to work... Of course, he didn’t think Meng Xiaofei had someone else in her heart. Li Yifei was utterly certain of this, but there were still some hindrances. Perhaps Meng Xiaofei hadn’t thought it through.

Whatever decision Meng Xiaofei makes, Li Yifei will absolutely support her, so after walking a few steps, he thought it through.

Because he was about to leave again, the women of the Li family were gathered together, along with some of the older children. They were reluctant for Li Yifei to go, but understood it couldn’t be stopped.

Na Yi felt embarrassed, as she had to go home with Li Yifei, effectively monopolizing his time.

"It’s okay, husband, you go ahead. There’s nothing going on here, Na Yi, you don’t need to feel guilty. You’ve been out for a long time, it’s good to go home and see your dad, and let your husband check uncle’s health. Living in the mountains may lead to some ailments," Xu Yingying privately comforted Na Yi.

"Thank you, sister," Na Yi said emotionally.

Xu Yingying patted her hand and said, "What’s there to thank? Don’t feel guilty, go out with your husband and be happy."

"Yes, yes, I will. I’ll bring specialties back for the sisters when I return," Na Yi promised.

"Alright, just bring those local delicacies, not the ones processed in factories," Xu Yingying said.

The next day, Li Yifei and Na Yi took a car to the provincial capital. The Gulfstream private plane bought by the Li family usually parks at the provincial airport. It is inconvenient to have a small airport in Mile City, as the landing and takeoff of small airports are not convenient, overall too troublesome.

The wedding is two days away. Li Yifei going there now means he will spend a day on the road, arriving just before the wedding, which is perfect. Since he is taking his wife, it’s quite reasonable, as Zheng Mingrui is also taking his girlfriend.

However, the two have already traveled by train. Li Yifei is flying directly to Guizhou province to meet Zheng Mingrui and others.

Na Yi seldom leaves home, not because the Li family restricts her, but because of Na Yi’s natural temperament and habits developed since childhood. When the women at home go out shopping, and bring her along, her first reaction is to ask what they’re going out for. Buying clothes? I already have clothes, and lots of them, to the point of suffocation. As for enjoying food, the family chef can basically cook any dish you can name, definitely top-notch, even if there’s a dish he can’t cook, they can invite a chef to cook it and have it delivered.

Regarding other matters, Na Yi has little interest, which resulted in her becoming one of the more homebound women in the Li family, to the point of almost gathering dust, even Chu Xiaoyao occasionally goes out.

However, with Li Yifei accompanying her, it’s different. Na Yi seemed very excited, holding Li Yifei’s hand while sitting in the car, her palms even sweating a bit.

Li Yifei knows that some things are not certain to work just by talking; they need events to influence Na Yi, to change some of her thoughts. This is also due to the Passion Worm triggered by meeting each other, which is a bother of the Witch Worm; otherwise, their interaction would not have so many twists and turns.

Take it slow, Li Yifei reverses his grip on Na Yi’s soft hand. Their fingers interlocked, Na Yi gently leans on Li Yifei’s shoulder, and her other hand embraces him as well.

So happy, feeling like singing; Na Yi, with her white teeth gently biting her lip, leaving shallow marks, soon abandoned the thought. There’s a driver in front driving the car, maybe it’s a bit embarrassing to sing.

Arriving at the airport, Li Yifei and Na Yi quickly boarded the plane through a special passage. It was Na Yi’s first time on the Li family’s private plane, feeling very novel. Li Yifei picked up his computer as he received a temporary document, not sent by others, but by a member of the Phantom Squad he belongs to, who sent him a confidential document.

Li Yifei sat in front of the computer, watching quietly. Na Yi obediently didn’t disturb him, and ten minutes later, Li Yifei stood up with a frown and clicked the mouse on the screen, automatically destroying the document.

"Is it something serious?" Na Yi saw Li Yifei stand up and walked over to look at him. Li Yifei shook his head and said, "It’s nothing, not family matters, just a task from the squad."

"Oh, then... if you need to deal with it immediately, I can head home first and wait for us to return when it’s convenient!" Na Yi quickly said, adding, "I can return anytime, it’s not urgent, focus on your important business!"

"Haha, it’s okay, it’s perfect since we’re going to Guizhou province, the mission isn’t far either," Li Yifei laughed, pinching Na Yi’s cheek.
