Xu Yingying turned her head to look at Ning Xin’er and smiled slightly, saying, "Yes, thank you for taking care of Yifei during this time."
"It should be me saying thank you. In the past, it was you who took care of Yifei all the time."
Both of them wore smiles on their faces, but as they spoke, there was a hint of tension, making Li Yifei inwardly groan.
"You actually arrived before me." The voice of Su Mengxin came from behind, instantly breaking the stiff atmosphere.
"Mengxin, why did you come yourself?" Xu Yingying immediately greeted Su Mengxin.
Su Mengxin chuckled softly and said, "If I hadn’t come, I was afraid you two might have started fighting, so I thought it better to help Yuanyuan out."
Xu Yingying instantly felt a bit embarrassed and said, "That wouldn’t happen."
Ning Xin’er replied with a sweet smile, "How could I be so lacking in manners."
With Su Mengxin present, the atmosphere finally eased as everyone said hello to Li Yifei in turn. Ye Yunzhu gave Li Yifei a big squint; she had always been quite direct and had never been satisfied with him.
He Fangqing merely nodded at Li Yifei. Her relationship with Li Yifei was much simpler, never having asked for much, and she didn’t want to make Xu Yingying uncomfortable. With them present, she always actively maintained a distance from Li Yifei.
Michelle called Li Yifei’s name with tenderness, then stepped aside, but her eyes remained fixed on him. Among all the women with complicated relationships with Li Yifei, each held a high status; she knew she couldn’t be with him, yet she couldn’t help but harbor feelings for him.
Meng Xiaofei pursed her lips and greeted Li Yifei with a look of amusement, the most straightforward and happiest of the group, even winking teasingly at him.
Xu Shanshan came over and grabbed Li Yifei’s hand, pouting as she said, "You stinky brother-in-law, you haven’t returned home for so long. Don’t you want to be good anymore?" She was the only one who could be affectionate with Li Yifei so openly in this setting.
Li Yifei apologetically said, "I’ve been doing this for the sake of the child."
"Where’s the little darling?" Xu Shanshan looked around eagerly.
Xu Shanshan said anxiously, "Then pick her up quickly. I want to see how cute our family’s darling really is."
"What do you mean ’your family’s darling’?" Chu Xiaoyao interrupted with a snort. "That’s Uncle and Sister Xin’er’s child."
Among these people, Chu Xiaoyao was unwavering in her support for Ning Xin’er. Firstly, she was a fan of Ning Xin’er, and secondly, Ning Xin’er had not opposed her being with Li Yifei. To her, anyone who competed with Ning Xin’er for Li Yifei was an enemy.
Xu Shanshan shot Chu Xiaoyao a glare and said, "He’s my brother-in-law’s child, so of course, he’s part of our family."
Su Mengxin stepped in to mediate, saying, "Alright, we’re too conspicuous here. Let’s go."
This group of beauties indeed attracted too much attention, so they promptly headed to the parking lot. Su Mengxin had brought an extended Lincoln, and everyone fit inside comfortably without feeling cramped. The car that Li Yifei and Ning Xin’er had brought was driven away by the bodyguards that Su Mengxin had brought.
Inside the car sat a total of ten people, nine women and only one man, Li Yifei. As soon as the doors closed, the scent of perfume filled the air, making Li Yifei feel as if he were in the Country of Fragrances.
Being with so many beauties should have been a blessing for a man, but Li Yifei felt uneasy. The most unexpected presence was that of Ye Yunzhu. She didn’t know yet that Xu Yingying and Ye Yunzhu had reached an alliance, so he feared that given Ye Yunzhu’s straightforward nature, not tolerating any nonsense, the presence of all these women closely connected to him might lead to a complete uproar.
