Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1946 - 2009: Honey, I Love You

Li Yifei was excited for quite a while, then held Xu Yingying’s hand, looked at her affectionately, and said, "Wife, I’m so happy, I’m going to be a father again, hahaha, such a good thing, you should have told me earlier, I was just overthinking."

"If I told you earlier, you weren’t home anyway. Didn’t I just tell you as soon as you got back?" Xu Yingying said.

Li Yifei nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, that’s the situation, haha, I can’t help it, I’m too happy, tomorrow morning I’ll accompany you to have another checkup!"

"Hmm, I was going to have a checkup tomorrow anyway, now that you’re back, you can come with me." Xu Yingying nodded and said.

As the nominal first wife of the Li family, Xu Yingying’s pregnancy had a very different significance. According to old customs, this would be the legitimate offspring, while other women could only be considered as giving birth to collateral descendants, even including Su Mengxin’s child. Of course, in the Li family, there’s no such notion; the eldest goes to the one who has a child first, like Ning Xin’er’s child is the eldest sister among the Li family children, and this little girl is indeed very well-behaved, often helping take care of her younger siblings. As per Mile City, she’s very capable and shows the grace of an elder sister!

Xu Yingying was finally pregnant. Li Yifei was so excited that he almost wept. He was happy, and Xu Yingying was happy too. Li Yifei carefully embraced Xu Yingying and said, "Wife, I’m just so happy."

"I’m happy too, husband, I love you. I’m finally going to give you a baby." Xu Yingying nodded forcefully, eyes brimming with tears, and Li Yifei hurriedly wiped them away, comforting her, "Don’t cry, this is a good thing worth celebrating."

"Hmm hmm."

"By the way, have you told Mom and Dad yet?" Li Yifei asked.

Xu Yingying shook her head and said, "Not yet. The plan was to wait until you got back, to tell you, the dad, first, and then tell them."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Wife, you’re the best. Let’s do it tomorrow then. After the checkup, we’ll go back home and share the good news with the old couple!"

"Okay, I’ll listen to you." Xu Yingying nodded.

Li Yifei couldn’t contain his happiness, hugging Xu Yingying and talking about many things. Checking the time, he found it was already quite late, so he quickly said, "Wife, it’s too late, we should go to bed. Now that you’re pregnant, you can’t stay up late. You also need to be careful usually. If it doesn’t work, put the company’s matters on hold, there are people to watch over them."

"That’s not necessary. I’m only about a month or one and a half pregnant at most, still three to four months before showing, so work won’t be delayed."

"That’s true, but reduce some work anyway, it’s just ten months, and it’ll pass in the blink of an eye. After the baby is born, you can get back to work." Li Yifei said, still a bit worried.

"I’ll listen to you." Xu Yingying pursed her lips, her face full of happiness.

Li Yifei didn’t mess around and hugged the mother of his child as they both went to sleep.

The next morning, as Xu Yingying woke up, she subconsciously leaned back. She had spent the whole night in Li Yifei’s arms, having slept soundly and comfortably. However, when she leaned back, she didn’t feel anyone there, so she quickly opened her eyes to look but found that Li Yifei was no longer there.

Xu Yingying’s eyes widened, a bit unhappy. A few minutes later, she went downstairs in her nightgown, and her expression softened upon hearing the clatter from the kitchen. It was Li Yifei, who had gotten up early to prepare a nutritious breakfast for her, instead of sneaking off late at night to meet other women.

This made Xu Yingying feel happy again.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Li Yifei turned and saw Xu Yingying, smiling as he said, "Why are you up so early? Go get some more sleep."

Xu Yingying shook her head slightly and said, "Without you, I can’t sleep."

"Silly wife, then let me hold you for a nap this afternoon." As Li Yifei melted the cheese in the pan, he put a slice of whole-wheat bread on top, sprinkled some fried meat cubes, and said, "Go relax on the sofa for a bit. There’s too much oil smoke here, and it’s not good for the baby to smell it."

"Hmm." Xu Yingying nodded happily but still walked over to let Li Yifei kiss her before obediently leaving the kitchen.

Such days were just too beautiful, Xu Yingying thought with immense happiness.

After breakfast, Li Yifei took her to their family hospital. The Li family’s hospital primarily focused on gynecology, hiring several famous gynecologists at high salaries. Of course, the crucial point was that they were all female doctors. Although gender doesn’t matter to doctors, Li Yifei didn’t want his wives’ bodies seen by male doctors.

After the checkup, with Li Yifei waiting outside, it was confirmed once again that Xu Yingying was pregnant. Li Yifei almost jumped three feet high. Though it wasn’t his first time being a dad and he was already a father of five, the sixth child still made Li Yifei extremely happy.

"Alright, husband, I know you’re happy, but don’t overdo it. I don’t want the sisters to get any ideas." Xu Yingying gently said, pulling Li Yifei aside.

Li Yifei nodded, saying, "Uh, I will be careful with that, but I’m still happy, you have to let me smile."

Xu Yingying pursed her lips, letting Li Yifei have his way.

After the checkup, Li Yifei decided to take his wife back to her family’s home. He made the call himself, reaching out to Xu Shanshan’s mother, and as soon as the call connected, Li Yifei said, "Mom, it’s me, Yifei."

"Yifei, what’s the matter for your call?" Xu Shanshan’s mom asked somewhat puzzled. This son-in-law is usually busy; besides calling during holidays to send greetings, he doesn’t call much. But they knew it wasn’t due to Li Yifei being unfilial, just really busy, so they didn’t think poorly of him.

Li Yifei quickly said, "Yingying and I are coming back today, are you and dad at home?"

"Your dad went out to exercise, but he’ll be back soon. We don’t have anything going on, so we’ll be home, of course," Xu Yingying’s mom said, then added, "Come on back, we’ll wait for you at home, and don’t buy anything; we have plenty here."

"Okay, we’ll be there before noon," Li Yifei said.

"Mm, ask Yingying what you two want to eat. I’ll call your dad to pick it up on his way back."

Li Yifei turned to Xu Yingying, who picked a few dishes. Li Yifei relayed them back, and Xu Shanshan’s mom agreed happily. With both daughter and son-in-law coming back, she was overjoyed. It was a good chance to urge them to have a baby soon.

After hanging up, Xu Yingying’s mom called the old man to tell him to buy groceries because their daughter was coming home.

"Why so sudden today?" Xu Yingying’s dad commented offhandedly.

"What’s that supposed to mean? The daughter and son-in-law are coming back, and you’re not happy? Hurry up, stop playing chess, and go to the market now. Get the best and freshest stuff," Xu Yingying’s mom ordered.

The old man was indeed playing chess. Hearing this, he grabbed the board and said to the old man opposite him, "Alright, Old Sunx, consider this game my loss. I need to go buy groceries because the daughter and son-in-law are coming back today."

Old Sunx pointed at him and said, "You old thing, alright, go on then!"

Li Yifei and Xu Yingying found Xu Shanshan and asked if she wanted to go home with them. Xu Shanshan looked at her sister with curiosity and said, "Why the sudden thought to go home?"

Xu Yingying smiled brightly but didn’t answer her sister, just looked at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei then said, "We have good news to tell you."

"Spill it!" Xu Shanshan said.

"You’re going to be an aunt," Li Yifei said.

"Me, an aunt?" Xu Shanshan first frowned but then burst out with immense joy on her face, asking, "Do you mean my sister is pregnant?"

"Of course, just got it checked."

"Haha, that’s great, sis, you’re really having a baby?"

Xu Yingying nodded, and Xu Shanshan immediately jumped up, rushing over to look at Xu Yingying’s belly, saying, "Why is your belly still flat?"

"It’s not that quick, it’s just over a month. The belly won’t show until four or five months."

"Great, great, I’m going to be an aunt! Haha, sis, you’re amazing," Xu Yingying said happily.

"So, are you going or not?"

"Going, definitely going!" Xu Shanshan said, then suddenly paused. After a moment, she said softly, "Maybe I shouldn’t go. You’re pregnant, so they will be happy, but afterward, they’ll definitely start nagging me to find a man and get married and have kids..."

In the room, there were only the two sisters and Li Yifei. Regarding Xu Shanshan and Li Yifei’s relationship, the family was implicitly aware. People like Su Lio and He Fangqing had even seen Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan messing around together.

It was a tacit understanding. Xu Shanshan and Xu Yingying, the twin sisters, would be with Li Yifei for life, but their parents weren’t aware. The old couple might have their suspicions, but no one confirmed it. If they went back together, the old couple would definitely have something to say, which could be awkward.

Xu Yingying held her sister’s hand and said, "Shanshan, I won’t mind. If mom and dad really push hard, we’ll just be honest with them. After all, some things are set in stone. With me being pregnant, they won’t push too hard."

This was the first time Xu Yingying said something like this, and Xu Shanshan felt a little embarrassed. She glared at Li Yifei, blaming him but shook her head immediately, saying, "No need, there’s no rush for me. Anyway, they just say things; they won’t force me."

Li Yifei on the side scratched his head. He was the main culprit, also the one benefiting, so he had no right to speak.

"I’ll go with you guys. How could you leave me out of such happy news? Besides, I don’t want to have a baby so early. I need a few years to have fun first. Having one now would be unbearable. Just thinking of having to take care of it for so many years afterward..." Xu Shanshan said as she turned and walked upstairs, saying, "Give me ten minutes; I’ll pack up my things. I’ve also bought some gifts for mom and dad this time, so I’ll bring them along."
