Super Soldier in the City

Li Yifei took advantage of the moment and said, "Mom and Dad, I know this is very unfair to Yingying, and I am really guilty about it. I can only treat her better and better, not worse because of Lin Qiong."

Xu Shanshan’s mother rolled her eyes and didn’t speak immediately. After a while, she asked Xu Zhenguo, "What do you think?"

Xu Zhenguo sighed, "To be honest, of course, I hope Yingying could be with Yifei alone, which is the norm for a couple. Even if there are quarrels, that’s normal. But under these circumstances, I really don’t know what’s best. As a man, I clearly understand how big the temptations from the outside world are. Even the most resolute person, when facing temptation, can have moments of weakness. The more successful a man is, the greater the temptations he faces. This doesn’t mean those women are shameless. A successful man is also very attractive to them. But is it really good to have both Yingying and Lin Qiong together? Wouldn’t that be like having a wife and a concubine? That isn’t right. Moreover, by not giving Lin Qiong a formal status, over time, wouldn’t she feel disappointed? What would her parents say and how would we face our relatives and friends in the future? Would they be happy with a daughter of a bureau chief being someone’s mistress?"

Turning to look at Yifei, Xu Zhenguo spoke earnestly, "Yifei, you need to think this over carefully. You’re young. It might feel nice having a wife and a lover, but it also means your responsibilities are much greater. Conflicts between spouses can also become more frequent. There’s no avoiding problems when two people with completely different habits start living together, and adding another person only complicates matters. Even a small hint of favoritism on your part could cause instability at home. These might sound like small issues, but whether a couple can stay together for a lifetime often depends on these small things. How many divorces happen over major principles? It’s often the unresolved small disagreements. The minor problems you’ll face later could well be not just simple additions; conflicts between two women can escalate exponentially."

At this time, Li Yifei said seriously to Xu Zhenguo, "Dad, I fully understand what you’re saying. I’m not some naïve young guy who takes marriage lightly. Since I’ve chosen this path, I must bear the responsibilities and even work harder for them. Yingying and Lin Qiong have also been working hard. From what I see, the three of us do get along quite well. Yingying and Lin Qiong are both open-minded and cultured. If there are conflicts, we will discuss them openly and resolve them in the light of day."

"Are the three of you together now?" Xu Yingying’s mother couldn’t help but exclaim.

Li Yifei smiled awkwardly and said, "Mom, last time you visited our house, Lin Qiong was already living with us. We just couldn’t explain it at the time, so we had to put on that act."

"You all... really..." Xu Yingying’s mother shook her head repeatedly. In her view, she would never allow another woman to share her husband, but her daughter was able to do just this, which really made her feel helpless and annoyed.

"Mom, there’s one more thing I need to clarify. We three are also trying out this way of life. If it really doesn’t work out, Lin Qiong has said she will leave and let Yingying and I be together."

"Really? Did Lin Qiong really say that?" Xu Yingying’s mother immediately asked.
