Li Yifei thought about Xu Yingying and naturally didn’t forget Su Yiyi. Before buying groceries, he had already called Su Yiyi, and when he returned with Meng Xiaofei after shopping, Su Yiyi was already waiting at home.
"Brother Li!" Su Yiyi stood at the door, handed Li Yifei his slippers, took the groceries from him, but her eyes remained on Li Yifei, her face flushed with excitement.
"Did you miss Brother Li?" Li Yifei leaned in and gently kissed Su Yiyi on her cheek.
Meng Xiaofei was right next to Li Yifei, and Su Yiyi hadn’t expected Li Yifei would kiss her at that moment, making her face instantly turn crimson with embarrassment.
Meng Xiaofei giggled and said, "Yiyi, you are still so shy. I’m not an outsider, so why are you embarrassed?"
Su Yiyi was still incredibly embarrassed, and she carried the groceries, running into the kitchen, but her heart felt indescribably sweet.
"Hey, it’s not even two o’clock yet, you both have plenty of time, do whatever you two want, I’ll be on the first floor with the TV." Meng Xiaofei’s teasing voice caused Su Yiyi’s face to redden once more.
However, Meng Xiaofei’s words reminded Li Yifei. He followed her into the kitchen and suddenly picked Su Yiyi up in his arms.
"Ah! Brother Li..." Su Yiyi’s voice trembled.
Li Yifei kissed Su Yiyi gently on her cheek again and softly said, "Yiyi, I’ve missed you so much."
"But... but..." Su Yiyi’s gaze wandered toward the living room.
"Don’t pay attention to her." Li Yifei chuckled, carrying Su Yiyi as he ran upstairs. Immediately, bursts of laughter from Meng Xiaofei followed them, while Su Yiyi, overwhelmed with shyness, buried her face in Li Yifei’s shoulder. However, she was truly excited and really wanted to share some intimate moments with Li Yifei.
After five, Li Yifei had already prepared a table full of dishes, and Xu Yingying and the others just returned.
"Daddy, daddy!" Little Yifei shouted loudly as soon as she came in, and upon seeing Li Yifei, she spread her little arms and rushed toward him. Li Yifei quickly picked Little Yifei up and spun around a few times before holding her close. He planted a kiss on her soft little cheek and said with a smile, "Sweetheart, did you miss daddy?"
"Yes!" Little Yifei wrapped her arms around Li Yifei’s neck, giving him kisses on each side of his face, finally pressing her face against his.
Li Yifei burst into laughter; having his daughter so affectionate was a wonderful feeling that was hard to describe. Especially after this trip, which involved a lot of conflict and violence, for anyone, no matter how strong, couldn’t be indifferent, his daughter’s affection felt like a gentle spring flowing through his heart, washing away much of the inexplicable aggression he felt these days.
At that moment, Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan both looked at Li Yifei with a glint of peculiar emotion in their eyes. The days of not seeing him couldn’t help but make them miss and worry about Li Yifei. Fortunately, Xu Shanshan stood shoulder to shoulder with her sister, otherwise, with the way she was looking at him now, it would definitely make Xu Yingying a little suspicious.
Xu Yingying didn’t see it, but Su Yiyi did. However, with Su Yiyi’s straightforward nature, she wouldn’t have thought so intricately. She simply thought that Xu Shanshan, this sister-in-law, was quite close to Li Yifei, worrying and missing him was only normal.
"Go check the room, see what daddy brought back for you." Li Yifei put Little Yifei down and said with a smile.
Little Yifei immediately cheered, dashed towards her room, and Li Yifei then looked at Xu Yingying, extending his arms, saying, "Wife!"
"You rascal! Coming back without any seriousness." Xu Yingying chided, rolling her eyes at Li Yifei, but still couldn’t help stepping forward and embracing him.
Li Yifei hugged Xu Yingying tightly, whispering in her ear, "Did you miss me?"
Xu Yingying suddenly pushed Li Yifei away, rolling her eyes at him, saying, "You make me worry so much, do you know how much I’ve worried about you these past few days?"
"Yes, yes, wife, I was wrong, I won’t do this kind of thing anymore." This time, Li Yifei believed he could largely intimidate those organizations, and if anyone still wanted to mess with him, he would make sure to leave a lasting impression.
"That’s more like it!" Xu Yingying revealed a brilliant smile. She knew Li Yifei wasn’t someone who spoke carelessly, so when he said this, it meant such incidents, if not completely absent in the future, would be significantly reduced. As a wife, she certainly didn’t like her husband going off to do dangerous things.
At this point, Xu Shanshan approached Li Yifei with a playful smile, blinking mischievously, saying, "Brother-in-law, I was worried about you too, come on, let me give you a hug."
Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "You’re just afraid there’d be no one to take care of you, right?" He spread his arms and hugged Xu Shanshan briefly.
Xu Shanshan and Li Yifei hugged lightly and then released him. Being able to have such an embrace with him in front of her sister made her completely satisfied.
Meanwhile, Xu Yingying didn’t seem to mind at all; it was just a simple hug. Even with regular acquaintances, hugging once in a while was normal, let alone knowing the great relationship between Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan, which made the hug even more usual.
