Chapter 719 - 758 Chemical Reactions
Li Yifei had no reason to refuse the matter at hand. Most importantly, those who were after Su Mengxin had already come knocking, and Li Yifei couldn’t afford to be careless. In a crucial place like Capital City, it’s extremely difficult for any power to pull strings, but in Mile City, the security was far from robust, so various powers found it too easy to infiltrate. Relying solely on the security guards Su Mengxin brought with her was hardly sufficient for her safety.
Fortunately, Su Mengxin didn’t come here with the intention to attend any events. As long as she was with Li Yifei, that was naturally the best possible situation. If the two of them were alone at home, Su Mengxin would’ve been very happy about it. However, Ning Xin’er showed up first, shattering the opportunity for Li Yifei to spend time alone with Su Mengxin, so the three of them simply continued moving the remaining stuff.
Today, Ning Xin’er was surprisingly happy to help them with the work, seemingly unbothered by the fact that she had no part in Li Yifei’s relocation.
After they finished tidying up, it was almost noon. Li Yifei cooked some simple dishes, and both Su Mengxin and Ning Xin’er seemed to enjoy the meal a lot.
Right after they finished eating, Li Yifei’s phone started ringing—it was a call from Lin Qiong. Hesitant, Li Yifei didn’t pick up the call. Lin Qiong always spoke so imperiously, she might just bluntly ask Li Yifei to come over. With Ning Xin’er and Su Mengxin present, answering this call would seem rather risky.
"Why aren’t you picking up? Is it another lover of yours?" Ning Xin’er rolled her eyes at Li Yifei as soon as she saw him ignore the call.
Li Yifei coughed and said, "It’s from Lin Qiong, the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau. She never wants anything good when she contacts me, better not to answer."
Ning Xin’er snorted, "Feeling guilty? Humph, your wife isn’t here, and Mengxin and I aren’t anything to you. What are you afraid of?"
Li Yifei actually wanted to treat the two as if they were unrelated to him, but they were anything but unrelated. Even if he didn’t have feelings for Ning Xin’er at the moment, with a daughter between them, how could he possibly regard Ning Xin’er as a stranger?
"You should just pick it up, or aren’t you afraid of more trouble?" Su Mengxin asked with a smile.
