Super Soldier in the City

At noon, Li Yifei prepared a simple meal, but by evening, Xu Yingying and the others had returned, and he truly showed off his skills with a full table of dishes. Each dish was a product of Li Yifei’s meticulous thought and his best recipes, satisfying everyone thoroughly. Even Little Yifei, who was quite picky, kept saying how delicious it was.

Thanks to Ning Xin’er’s concession, the atmosphere today was much more harmonious. Ning Xin’er lifted her glass towards Xu Yingying and said, "Yingying, about the past, I hope you won’t take it to heart. It was my bad mentality, please try not to mind it."

Xu Yingying, quite surprised and flattered, also raised her glass and replied, "I had my faults in the past too, you should not dwell on it either."

"Of course, I won’t mind. Here I want to ask you for something. In the future, when Yifei is living with you, I hope you will treat her kindly," Ning Xin’er said, her eyes softening as she looked at her daughter.

Xu Yingying immediately responded, "Rest assured, I will treat Yifei as if she were my own daughter. You can also visit Yifei anytime, and if she ever feels wronged, you know to come to me."

"That puts my mind at ease. This drink is to you," Ning Xin’er said, and gulped down her beer in one go.

After Xu Yingying had finished her drink, Ning Xin’er poured another glass and turned to Ye Yunzhu, saying, "Ye Yunzhu, this drink is for you. I hope we can leave past matters behind and become friends, as two people who can empathize with each other’s lot."

Ye Yunzhu’s cup wasn’t filled with alcohol but a soft drink. She said, "I’ll accept your toast, but I can’t drink for that reason, as I don’t think I have anything to pity about myself."

Ning Xin’er chuckled and replied, "You’re right, that’s my mistake. We women don’t have to be dependents of men, and even if we have children without a husband in name, we can still live wonderfully."

Only then did Ye Yunzhu take a sip of her drink.
