Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1956 - 2019: Keeping My Wife Company
"Happy, I’m happy, so what about tonight?" Ye Yunzhu asked.
"Tonight is the same!"
"That’s more like it, but last night you slept alone with Lin Qiong, so I want it too," Ye Yunzhu emphasized.
Li Yifei agreed immediately, promising to accompany only her. Only then did Ye Yunzhu hang up the phone with satisfaction. Soon, she reverted to her role as the female mayor and political powerhouse. No one would have imagined that just a moment ago she was flirting with her man.
After hanging up, Liu Yifei took a shower and tidied up a bit. After all, he was going to someone else’s house as a guest, so he needed to spruce himself up. Li Yifei even went out of his way to get a haircut.
Around 4:30, Li Yifei drove off in a white Accord. The Li family had plenty of cars now, but Li Yifei couldn’t drive anything too flashy to Wen Dagang’s house. If he were someone who liked to show off, he would have already dealt with Meng Qingyou last night, leaving no room for Meng Qingyou to boast.
The white Accord waited across from the Municipal Government building. Ye Yunzhu got off work on time. Naturally, she was the most noticeable person on the road. Many people saw her, but those not of her rank dared not greet her. Soon, a scene that left them dumbfounded unfolded: Ye Yunzhu walked gracefully into a white Accord, opened the car door herself, and sat in the passenger seat.
Holy crap, no way, Mayor Ye is sitting in a man’s car? Though they couldn’t clearly see what the man looked like, he was definitely a man. Even though the two didn’t do anything in the car, it was still a man!
Many people were shocked, and inside the car, Li Yifei drove a bit, took off his sunglasses, and Ye Yunzhu leaned over at the right moment to kiss him on the cheek. Taking a deep breath, she said, "This smell is really nice."
"What smell?" Li Yifei asked.
"Your smell! The one on you."
"I thought you were saying I had the smell of another woman on me." Li Yifei replied, instantly killing the mood.
"Get out of here, are you trying to annoy me?" Ye Yunzhu fidgeted a bit, looked over at the back seat, and asked, "Did you bring clothes for me?"
"I did, but you’re not planning to change here, are you?"
"Then where should I change? Stop the car first, I’ll sit in the back to change, this work uniform is uncomfortable."
"If it’s uncomfortable, wear what you like to work in the future. No one can say anything about it." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Ye Yunzhu rolled her eyes and said, "How could I do that, I’m the mayor, even if it’s just a deputy position, I’m still a public figure. I have to be responsible for my words and appearance. If I were older, it wouldn’t be an issue to wear tracksuits to work, but at this age, I can’t dress like that."
"In the end, you just want to attract people’s attention!" Li Yifei said sourly.
"Li Yifei, do you need a beating? Just say it, I’m willing to risk it today; if you need a beating, I’ll take you down right here!" Ye Yunzhu suddenly puffed up her chest, speaking fiercely.
Li Yifei was stunned, his eyes glazed over. This was not like the usual Ye Yunzhu; she was acting completely out of character.
"Don’t look at me like that, I’m just... about to get my period and I want to have a go with you before it comes!" Seeing Li Yifei staring at her, Ye Yunzhu was a little embarrassed and whispered an explanation.
Li Yifei suddenly realized why Ye Yunzhu was acting unusually. So it was because of this. It’s a seven-day break after all, and anyone would crave it. Understanding the reason, Li Yifei leaned over with a grin and said, "Good wife, today I’ll make sure you’re fully satisfied."
"You idiot." Ye Yunzhu playfully poked Li Yifei and said, "I’m going to the back, you keep driving."
In the rearview mirror, Li Yifei couldn’t help but glance back as Ye Yunzhu stripped down to her bra and panties. Fortunately, the car had reflective film, so there was no worry of being seen. Ye Yunzhu changed into a more casual outfit. Li Yifei licked his lips, pondering whether to find a place to satisfy Ye Yunzhu as there was still time. However, he ultimately decided against it. At this time, the city was bustling unless they drove to the suburbs, but that was a bit too far, so Li Yifei restrained himself.
Passing by a fruit shop, Li Yifei went in to buy some fruit. As it was his first visit to Wen Dagang’s house, he had to bring something. Though he had numerous fine cigars at home, they weren’t appropriate for Wen Dagang. Li Yifei didn’t want Wen Dagang to feel awkward because of his status, so he didn’t plan to mention it. Likewise, Ye Yunzhu shared the same attitude. Neither wanted Wen Dagang’s family to change their demeanor because of status—they valued sincere friendship, which was hard to come by.
In truth, she and Li Yifei were alike; they had few friends. Such visits to friends’ houses for meals and chats were rare, almost nonexistent. It’s just that with many women at home, it wasn’t lonely.
Ye Yunzhu’s personality, unlike Chu Xiaoyao and the others, was much quieter. She preferred to read books over socializing with others. Holding a high position now, her character inevitably changed, becoming more... solitary.
Yes, Li Yifei was the same. His friends consisted of comrades-in-arms, some middle school and high school classmates, and childhood friends like Wen Dagang, whom he had not seen for ten or twenty years, making reunions difficult.
This is not like the countryside, where many people in small villages are born and raised there, and live there all their lives, often meeting each other. Today you come to my house for a drink, and tomorrow I’ll make something to eat and invite you over. It’s quite lively.
So when Wen Dagang invited him today, Li Yifei gladly agreed. He wouldn’t boast or anything just because he helped Wen Dagang a little.
After buying some fruit, Li Yifei and Ye Yunzhu got into the car. When they passed a toy store, Ye Yunzhu asked him to stop. Knowing that Wen Dagang’s child is a girl, Ye Yunzhu went in and picked out a big stuffed toy. Hugging it, she came back to the car, made a funny face at Li Yifei, and said, "How about this?"
Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "Not bad, very cute."
Ye Yunzhu looked smug and said, "Of course, how could my pick not be cute!"
Li Yifei agreed wholeheartedly and nodded vigorously. The two of them spent twenty minutes getting to Wen Dagang’s house in the new development area. He rented the apartment — a high-rise. The neighborhood is in a decent location, but because it’s a resettlement building, it looks a bit messy. At this moment, many people were already out for a walk after dinner, mostly elderly people and some with children. Li Yifei parked the car, and Wen Dagang and his wife had been waiting downstairs for a while. Seeing Li Yifei drive over, Wen Dagang quickly walked over, glanced at Li Yifei’s car, and nodded continuously, saying, "Nice, a new Accord! Haha, I knew you were doing well."
"It’s my wife’s, not mine!" Li Yifei pointed at Ye Yunzhu and said, "Let me introduce you to my wife, Ye Yunzhu."
"Ah, ah, hello, hello." Wen Dagang had noticed Ye Yunzhu earlier but couldn’t believe such a beautiful woman would be Li Yifei’s wife. Upon hearing the introduction, he wanted to shake hands with Ye Yunzhu but stopped midway and turned to pull his wife over, saying, "You ladies shake hands, I’ll shake hands with Old Li."
"Haha, it’s all good!" Li Yifei laughed. Wen Dagang’s wife is named Zhao Feiyan. When she was named, the three characters "Zhao Feiyan" were seen somewhere, and they thought it sounded nice, so they used it. She’s a local from Mile City.
"Come here, girl, come call them. This is Uncle Li, and this is... let’s call her Aunt instead of Auntie." Wen Dagang directed his daughter, who was hiding to one side, to come over and greet them. The little girl was very spirited, lively, and cute. Ye Yunzhu took the toy out of the car and gave it to Wen Dan, who was immediately overjoyed. Li Yifei spread his hands and said, "So if I don’t bring a gift for you, you won’t call me Uncle?"
"Hurry up and call him Uncle!" Wen Dagang and his wife urged her immediately.
"Haha, just joking, come on, lend a hand!" Li Yifei said as he opened the trunk and took out a few bags of fruit. Wen Dagang saw this and quickly said, "Old Li, this... I feel embarrassed. You’re here, no need to bring anything!"
"It’s not for you; come on, niece, can you call me Uncle now?"
Wen Dan was a bit shy. It wasn’t that the little girl was impolite but she was just shy. After Li Yifei said this, she finally called him Uncle.
"Haha, let’s go home." Li Yifei laughed.
As they entered the building, someone saw Wen Dagang and smiled at him, "Dagang, got guests, huh?"
"Yep, my old classmate is visiting today."
"Make sure to treat them well. If there aren’t enough chairs, feel free to borrow some from my place," the other person said.
"We’ve got enough, just bought some new ones today. Thanks anyway!" Wen Dagang replied.
Ye Yunzhu and Li Yifei exchanged a glance, both understanding each other’s thoughts. Wen Dagang getting along well with his neighbors proved he was a good person.
Once inside, Wen Dagang’s home was a small seventy-something square meters unit. The place wasn’t large, and there wasn’t much furniture, but it was tidy. Upon entering, Li Yifei wanted to change his shoes, but Wen Dagang quickly stopped him, saying, "No need to take them off, just come in as you are."
"I’d rather change; it’s more comfortable." Li Yifei insisted.
Once they entered the house, Li Yifei already smelled the aroma of food. Taking a whiff, he complimented, "Sister-in-law, your cooking smells amazing."
"Smells good, right? Haha, that’s how she snagged me back then," Wen Dagang said proudly, patting his belly.
"Oh, please, what are you saying? If it weren’t for you stubbornly singing downstairs every night, annoying my dad so much, would I have agreed to marry you?" Zhao Feiyan gently pinched Wen Dagang and spat.
"Haha, is there such a glorious story?" Li Yifei laughed.
Ye Yunzhu also covered her mouth with a smile. Inside, Wen Dagang quickly invited the two to the table. Li Yifei saw a dozen or so dishes, with very generous portions, and said, "Old Wen, you really went overboard with all this."
"This is nothing, not extravagant at all. I’d pluck the moon down for you if I could. Old Li, you and your wife are saviors to us." Wen Dagang said, raising his eyebrows.
