Leaving Li Xinyue’s place, Li Yifei came to Xu Yingying’s side. Dinner was ready, just waiting for Li Yifei to arrive. There were already five or six women in the house. Li Yufei was at school with her friends and hadn’t come back. Ye Yunzhu brought her daughter over, but the little girl had been crying nonstop. However, as soon as Li Yifei walked in, and the little girl saw him, she stopped crying, stretched out her arms, and demanded to be held by her daddy.

Li Yifei bent down to pick up his daughter, lifting her up and down a few times. The little girl giggled uncontrollably.

She even looked back at Ye Yunzhu provocatively, her little fist clenched.

Ye Yunzhu glared at her and wanted to scold her, but Li Yifei raised his hand and said, "Don’t scold my girl. The little one is so well-behaved, where is she being disobedient?"

"Well, watch then!" Ye Yunzhu turned around and went to the dining table to eat.

His daughter was behaved in his arms, but Li Yifei didn’t need to eat right away. Telling the women, he took his daughter to the garden, which had been expanded now. It was like a world of greenery inside, with some rare species as well. It had become the family’s favorite place to visit, and the children loved playing there, especially when their eldest sister Li Yufei brought them over. The second daughter couldn’t have been happier.

Holding his daughter, the little girl even taught Li Yifei the names of these plants. Despite her young age, she could name them all, and even recite some basic introductions.

Li Yifei laughed heartily, and the two of them walked over to Worm King Xiaowu’s place. Xiaowu still looked like a big silkworm cocoon, unchanged, though the surroundings had transformed. Bees and butterflies no longer faced sacrificial deaths here, but would instead fly around in circles, seemingly in worship before leaving.

All summer it had been this way, with the only difference being that cleaning workers no longer needed to sweep up multiple times a day.

Li Yifei, holding his daughter, walked around Xiaowu once. He suddenly had a peculiar feeling, as if Xiaowu was greeting him, softly calling. Li Yifei put his hand on Xiaowu’s cocoon, but nothing changed around.

Was it an illusion? No, it wasn’t. Li Yifei shook his head, withdrew his hand, and concentrated, but the feeling was still very vague.

Staying in the garden for half an hour, Li Yifei continued to experience that elusive sensation. A faint feeling, there but not there, disappearing just as he tried to grasp it.

But it was definitely a message from Xiaowu. Unfortunately, Li Yifei couldn’t fully understand it yet. He thought about asking Na Yi, but then Ye Yunzhu finished eating and came to find Li Yifei and his daughter, giving him the opportunity to have his meal.

"Play with mom, daddy will come to find you after eating." Li Yifei promised his daughter.

Returning, Li Yifei ate and told the numbers to Su Mengxin and Xu Yingying. After hearing the number, both women widened their eyes in disbelief. Xu Yingying shook her head, saying, "These people must be cheating. How can it be so much? If it were a few million, I’d believe, but over eighty million, I think it’s impossible."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "It’s possible. Those who go gamble in Macau can lose tens of millions easily, and some even lose billions."

Su Mengxin rolled her eyes at him and said, "That’s about those corrupt officials. I don’t believe there could be such large gambling circles domestically."

"Alright, same thing as always. As long as the person is fine, losing some money is no big deal." Li Yifei said.

The two women exchanged a glance, not saying any more. They didn’t believe Li Yifei would easily pay such a sum, knowing him too well.

They didn’t dwell on this matter further. Just like before, because it involved Li Xinyue, both women refrained from saying much, not even offering any opinion.

In the afternoon, with Li Yifei free temporarily, he went to the hospital to relieve Xu Shanshan, as not everyone in the family was just idling around. There were still many daily tasks to tend to, especially now with women from the business team, who went out daily, keeping busier than ever.

Everyone was busy with their own matters, provided safety was ensured.

Li Yifei arrived at the hospital just as Lin Qiong’s parents had, taking out the food and feeding Lin Qiong while chatting with her parents.

In the evening, Li Yifei still sent Lin Qiong’s parents home. Although Lin Qiong’s mother had planned to stay with her daughter that night, considering Li Yifei had been watching over continuously for days, Li Yifei insisted on the elders going home, saying he was fine.

Unable to argue with Li Yifei, and as Lin Qiong also wanted him around, her parents didn’t insist further.

Li Yifei escorted the two downstairs. After watching their car drive away, he returned to the hospital.

Lin Qiong’s recovery that day was something the doctors described as miraculous. It couldn’t have been better. Significantly, the previously concerning uterus had also healed well, and at this recovery pace, Lin Qiong’s fertility issues may no longer be a worry.

It was the best outcome, what everyone had hoped for. Thus, Li Yifei decided that until Lin Qiong fully recovered, he and Xu Shanshan would take turns helping with her treatment.

Holding Lin Qiong’s hand, Li Yifei talked about some of his experiences. Lin Qiong listened very attentively. The two were like happy frenemies, having gone through much from the beginning until now, with ups and downs. This was what Li Yifei said, while Lin Qiong would describe it as either you overpower me, or I overpower you...

Now Lin Qiong could move around a bit on the ground. Given her type of destructive gunshot wound, forget about walking around in three or four days, she might not even be able to move well in a month or two. But Lin Qiong did it. Supporting herself with Li Yifei’s arm, Lin Qiong walked back and forth a few times and then went to the bathroom. While sitting on the toilet, Lin Qiong suddenly got interested, let out an "ouch," and Li Yifei immediately rushed in to ask what was wrong, only to find nothing happened as Lin Qiong sat there, smiling at him.

"Come here, hubby," Lin Qiong beckoned with her finger.

Li Yifei frowned and walked over. Lin Qiong grabbed his arm and said, "Don’t move, or my wound will hurt."

"What are you up to?" Li Yifei asked cautiously.

Lin Qiong gave a playful smile, licked her lips, and said, "Work."

Li Yifei didn’t get it at first and was even more puzzled. It took him a while to understand what Lin Qiong meant, and he couldn’t help but laughingly cry, "Work on your ass, you’re like this, I’m like this, and you’re still trying to seduce me?"

"NONONO, I never said I was trying to seduce you!" Lin Qiong shook her head slowly, opened her mouth wide, and formed her right hand into a half circle as if holding a sugar cane towards her mouth, puffing her cheek on one side.

Li Yifei’s eyes went straight. If this isn’t seduction, then what is? He gulped down some saliva; his hands trembled a bit, and his heart started to ache slightly. Lin Qiong then returned to normal and said to Li Yifei, "Hubby, help me up, and... help me wipe my butt."

Lin Qiong had just peed. Before, she could only do it in bed and just tonight sat on the toilet in the bathroom to pee, and previously Li Yifei had helped wipe her, even cleaning up when she pooped, so it didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.

After cleaning up, Lin Qiong twisted her body, reluctant to leave, saying she hadn’t bathed in days and felt uncomfortable, asking Li Yifei if he could help her wash up.

Li Yifei said, "That’s out of the question. If the wound gets wet or if we move too much and strain the wound, you’ll cry! That could mean reopening for stitches."

"Ah?" Lin Qiong immediately showed a pitiful expression but then relaxed her brows, snorting, "I’m not afraid. Just come on!"

"No way," Li Yifei kept shaking his head.

"Hubby, I’m begging you, I usually don’t need you to help me bathe, just now when I’m injured, plus, my period is coming, if I don’t wash now, it might be over a week."

"I’ll wipe you down, but no water," Li Yifei still insisted.

Lin Qiong made a kissing sound at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei had to get some water, but Lin Qiong refused to lie in bed to be wiped, insisting on standing in the bathroom, naked but for thick bandages around her waist, a large bra undone, making Li Yifei dizzy.

Swallowing saliva, Li Yifei took a towel and said, "Lin Qiong, you really can’t cause more trouble. It’s not a big deal if I’m uncomfortable, but if your wound gets damaged, you’ll regret it forever."

Seeing Li Yifei seriously speaking, Lin Qiong finally stopped moving, obeying while Li Yifei wiped her body.

This was a tough task, even more difficult than having Li Yifei take down a row of, or even more, enemies in one breath. Li Yifei had to ensure he didn’t develop any unnecessary desires towards Lin Qiong while following her instructions to clean her body properly.

In the end, he had to switch to a small basin, fetch a basin of clean water, and help Lin Qiong wipe her most private parts.

Afterwards, supporting Lin Qiong back to bed, Li Yifei wiped his forehead, covered in sweat.

Lying in the bedsheets, Lin Qiong hummed comfortably, and Li Yifei felt it was worth it. He ran to the bathroom, took a shower, got dressed, and returned to find Lin Qiong already asleep.

Sitting by the bed, Li Yifei held Lin Qiong’s hand with his left hand, continuing to use True Qi for her consistent treatment, while his right hand replied to messages. Many people had sent messages, including Li Xinyue. After Li Yifei’s comfort, Li Xinyue felt slightly better but still guilty.

Li Yifei sent some messages, continued to comfort Li Xinyue, and clarified that the billion was originally meant to be a gift of a top-tier diamond necklace for Li Xinyue, which she lost.

Thinking about losing a billion in one go made Li Xinyue even more sleepless. In the end, Li Yifei had to make some unreasonable requests, like asking Li Xinyue to get under the covers and read a section of a book to him. Li Xinyue’s voice was very pleasant, still very pleasing through the electric transmission.

In the end, after reading a section, Li Xinyue fell asleep, making Li Yifei sigh: "Books are truly sleep’s best friend."
