Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2025 - 2088: Still Just as Handsome
In the evening, Liang Zicheng and Yi Long brought their wives to invite Li Yifei and the others to a banquet. Logically, given the status of Yi Long and Liang Zicheng, being invited personally is considered high-end for ordinary folks. After arriving at the hotel, Yi Mei’er and Liang Wei went upstairs to call Li Yifei’s family. After knocking on the door, they learned that Li Yifei was still accompanying his child to sleep. The two little girls rolled their eyes and said, "It’s okay, let’s wait a bit after the baby falls asleep before we go for dinner. I’ll tell Dad to wait for a while."
Liang Wei then went downstairs to notify them, while Yi Mei’er stayed upstairs chatting with Xu Shanshan and Chu Xiaoyao.
Upon hearing Li Yifei was still asleep, Liang Zicheng furrowed his brows, but Yi Long just chuckled and said, "Nevermind, we don’t have anything to do today anyway, might as well wait."
The two knew from the children the events that had occurred. They understood Li Yifei was exceptional, as he clashed with the U.S. military and rescued their daughter in front of them. Just out of gratitude, he was worth the wait for them. Furthermore, they knew Li Yifei was from Ning Province. Liang Zicheng initially wanted to send someone to investigate, but Yi Long stopped him.
Li Yifei’s wife’s aura, and the women accompanying her, seemed to have some ambiguous relationship with Li Yifei. Such a person, with an even stronger presence than theirs, might just become a burden if they investigated his identity. Better to remain unaware and just have a meal, then send them off tomorrow.
Liang Zicheng thought for a while and agreed, deciding not to investigate Li Yifei.
However, the wives of Liang Zicheng and Yi Long had a lot to say about waiting for Li Yifei’s family to wake up. They gathered together, exchanged some complaints, but seeing their husbands’ resolve, they dropped the matter.
Li Yifei knew when Yi Mei’er and Liang Wei arrived. He woke up after sleeping for a while, watching Su Mengxin finally relax and sleep with the baby. He didn’t wake her nor get out of bed, worried that moving might disturb Su Mengxin.
As for whether people were waiting downstairs, Li Yifei didn’t care.
It took almost an hour before Su Mengxin and the child woke up consecutively. When they did, Li Yifei had already prepared the milk powder, so the child could drink warm milk upon waking. Su Mengxin stretched lazily and appeared in a good mood.
Li Yifei noticed Su Mengxin woke up clear-headed, but her body relaxed only after seeing her child nearby. He didn’t ask her about it, but he knew Su Mengxin was probably worried the event might’ve been a dream, fearing everything would revert back upon waking.
Li Yifei gently brushed Su Mengxin’s cheek and said softly, "Freshen up, Liang Wei and Yi Mei’er’s parents have been waiting quite a while for us."
"What? Why didn’t you wake me? That’s not very nice." Su Mengxin hurriedly got up, instructing, "Keep an eye on the baby, I’ll be right back."
With her son newly returned, Su Mengxin was reluctant to leave his side even for a moment. Li Yifei nodded and watched as Su Mengxin went into the restroom for a quick wash, while he began restoring his appearance.
Five minutes later, Li Yifei opened the door. Su Mengxin, carrying the well-fed baby, emerged from the bedroom, just in time to see the three women in the living room. Chu Xiaoyao turned around, immediately stood up, approached, and playfully shook the baby’s little hand, saying, "Awake now, baby, quickly call mommy."
Li Yifei then came out. Yi Mei’er, although somewhat mentally prepared for Li Yifei’s family composition, couldn’t help but feel unsettled upon hearing those words. This uncle really is... quite the charmer. But when she turned around to see Li Yifei, she was instantly stunned. How did this uncle change so much? The beard was still there, but the eyes and brows were different.
"Uncle, your appearance..." Yi Mei’er pointed at Li Yifei. The current uncle looked younger. If something was missing, Yi Mei’er couldn’t pinpoint it. She definitely liked Li Yifei’s previous look, but now it didn’t seem out of place, rather he looked quite handsome.
"I was disguised earlier, but this is the real me now. Disappointed, are you!" Li Yifei laughed.
Yi Mei’er quickly shook her head, grinning, "Not disappointed, just feel... um, I’ll get used to it. You’re still very handsome now."
"Of course, my uncle is the most handsome!" Chu Xiaoyao turned around and hugged Li Yifei’s arm, tilting her head with a proud expression on her face.
Yi Mei’er’s eye twitched again, just thinking... hmm, this uncle’s family is really complex. This Chu Xiaoyao, who is about the same age as her, dares to be so intimate in front of the legitimate wife, and yet the wife doesn’t seem the slightest bit angry.
"Alright, let’s hurry downstairs. It’s really not good to keep your dad and them waiting for so long." Li Yifei raised his chin a bit and said.
The group went downstairs and saw Liang Zicheng and Yi Long among others. When they saw Li Yifei coming down, both were stunned for a moment, then quickly understood that Li Yifei must have been in disguise before. Liang Wei’s eyes were glued to him, and Yi Mei’er took the opportunity to explain a bit to Li Yifei. Liang Wei didn’t say much, seemingly quickly accepting the current Li Yifei.
However, privately, the two little girls huddled together for quite a bit of discussion, such as whether the current Li Yifei is more handsome or the previous one. Perhaps because Li Yifei saved them, the two girls went back and forth and still felt that no matter which look, this uncle is handsome!
Jinghai Hotel is a very famous hotel even in Haicheng, with a high enough class. Naturally, the people dining here are either rich or noble. Even if ordinary people could afford it, they might not necessarily get a seat. People like Liang Zicheng and Yi Long have the status to visit and hold diamond-grade VIP cards for this hotel. If someone savvy sees this, they would immediately understand that to hold a diamond VIP card, one’s assets must be over a billion at least; otherwise, they wouldn’t qualify. This is quite evident from the attitude of the doormen at the entrance.
On the tenth floor, in the Emperor Hall, Li Yifei sat next to the host’s seat, sitting beside Liang Zicheng, leaving the host seat empty, the two sitting apart. On Liang Zicheng’s other side was Yi Long. The women sat on one side. As for Li Yifei’s child, the women from the Liang and Yi families seemed very fond and presented their gifts one after another. In terms of price, giving a child gifts worth a hundred thousand to eighty thousand is quite presentable. But judging from Su Mengxin accepting the gifts, these women had to give her another look. Su Mengxin behaved very gracefully; not only was she exceptionally beautiful, but her speech and demeanor immediately made people understand she was a very well-cultured woman. Even compared to the ladies from Liang and Yi’s families, Su Mengxin made them seem less impressive, not just in terms of looks.
During the meal, Liang Zicheng and Yi Long repeatedly thanked Li Yifei for saving their daughters. Li Yifei was modest and thus, the conversation was quite cordial.
"Truly people of status." Liang Zicheng observed Li Yifei and the few women, nodding secretly. He just didn’t know what background this person had, not only was he personally powerful, but he also possessed such demeanor.
Yi Long was also secretly observing Li Yifei, seeing that his conversation and actions were always just right. During the many topics discussed, Li Yifei could always keep up, and when it was his turn to speak, his points were clear, often hitting the mark with one statement.
Halfway through the meal, just as Yi Long was about to raise his glass for a toast, there was a bang—the door to the private room was pushed open. The person who entered was not a server, but a man about thirty years old, with a slicked-back, shiny head. He wore a tight-fitting fitted shirt, which was unfortunately stretched tight due to his somewhat large belly. Below, he wore dark red slim-fit pants, also very tight. As this man entered, holding a leather bag, he stood in the doorway and glanced around. Seeing Liang Zicheng and Yi Long at the main seats, a peculiar smile appeared on his face.
Having a door kicked open when hosting important guests, both Liang Zicheng and Yi Long were very angry at that moment. But when they saw who kicked the door, their expressions froze—it was Young Master Guo Junior from the Guo family.
Li Yifei looked up and glanced at him. He didn’t know who this slicked-back person was. Seeing that the hosts, Liang Zicheng and Yi Long, weren’t reacting, he naturally wouldn’t overstep and just continued eating. Honestly, the food in this hotel was really good. After spending several days in the United States, Li Yifei still thought Huaxia food was the best.
This Young Master Guo Junior was someone that both Liang Zicheng and Yi Long preferred not to encounter. This person wasn’t originally from Haicheng but came from the Capital City. His family had some background and connections everywhere and often acted unjustly. He didn’t mix much in official circles, but his family had background, and he was quite greedy, often wanting to involve himself in various matters. Even someone like Liang Zicheng would avoid him if possible, not wanting to meet.
Why did this guy come here today? Liang Zicheng and Yi Long wondered silently; there was no way he just drunkenly barged in here. Although this place has high class, it wasn’t such a place where one would just wander into someone else’s gathering. It was probable... the two exchanged glances, each seeing the other’s suspicion. This guy barged in with a purpose, but could it be that matter...
Young Master Guo Junior walked up to the table, placed his glass down with a thud, squinted his eyes, swayed his body slightly, scanning the room casually. After passing over Liang Zicheng and Yi Long, he saw their wives, nodded slightly, made a couple of clicking sounds with his mouth, and said, "Two bosses, what a coincidence, even just having a meal we run into each other."
"I didn’t expect Young Master Guo Junior to be dining here. Had I known, I would have come over to offer a toast." Yi Long said as he tried to stand up, picking up the wine glass on the table to offer a toast.
Young Master Guo Junior pressed his hand down without saying a word. His gaze passed over the two men’s wives and landed on Liang Wei and Yi Mei’er. His eyes suddenly lit up like a light bulb, as if he’d sobered up quite a bit, and he smiled, saying, "These two must be your women, eh? Tsk tsk, they’re truly gorgeous."
