Four floors in total, Li Yifei naturally didn’t know which floor the bedroom was on, so he stopped and asked, "Where’s the bedroom?"

"The bedroom... The bedroom is on the top floor!" Hu Yu’er said with a flushed face, clearly very shy.

Li Yifei stepped upstairs, his face not flushed nor panting at all, as if the woman in his arms had no weight at all. Hu Yu’er watched Li Yifei from such a close distance and felt a strange smell wafting into her nose, not a sweaty smell, even the air Li Yifei exhaled carried this scent, hard to describe. This close distance made her body feel weak, but she was so nervous that she had to strain to keep her body tense.

A minute later, Li Yifei reached the fourth floor, pushed open the bedroom door, and was met by an extraordinarily large bedroom. He carried Hu Yu’er into the bathroom, let her sit down, and asked, "Does your foot still hurt?"

Even without asking, it was clear her ankle was swollen. Li Yifei crouched down, reached over to grab Hu Yu’er’s calf, lifted the sprained leg up, checked it, and frowned, "I know some massage techniques, but it’ll hurt a bit. Bear with it, we need to stretch the tendon, it won’t get better if we don’t!"

"Does it hurt a lot?" Hu Yu’er asked worriedly.

"I’ve succeeded many times!" Li Yifei replied.

"Oh... then go ahead!" Hu Yu’er nodded, speaking with apparent relief.

Li Yifei held her calf with one hand, while his thumb and index finger of the other hand pinched the sides of her ankle, kneading the tendon, saying, "There’s never a time it doesn’t hurt!"

"Ah?" Hu Yu’er immediately widened her eyes, just about to speak when a sharp pain shot from her ankle, her hand instinctively grabbed Li Yifei, her not-so-long nails dug into the flesh of Li Yifei’s shoulder.

Two minutes later, Hu Yu’er was panting heavily as if she’d just been through a battle, yet she never screamed out, even though it must have been very painful.

"You said there’s never a time it doesn’t hurt," Hu Yu’er released her hand but noticed several nail marks on Li Yifei’s shoulder, even starting to bleed. She quickly said earnestly, "Sorry sorry, I didn’t mean to, I just..."

Li Yifei pulled some tissues from beside the toilet, wiped the claw marks on his shoulder, removed the blood, and glanced casually at Hu Yu’er, saying, "I want to live a peaceful life, if there’s nothing else, please don’t bother me, okay?"

"I didn’t intend to bother you, it’s just... you reminded me of someone, the day I saw you at the fish market, I thought you looked like someone, but I really didn’t intend to bother you, just... sorry, I wasn’t deliberately testing you, although you just acted clumsily, I still can’t deny you’re not that person, on the contrary, the more it is so, the more I think you are that person!" Hu Yu’er rambled incoherently.

Li Yifei sighed and said, "Who do you think I am?"

"I don’t know either, it was abroad, I went to Myanmar for business, jade business, then suddenly a group of people with guns barged in, wanting to rob my goods, those goods were worth more than two hundred million, if they were robbed, I’d be in huge trouble. Just at the critical moment, several people rushed in and quickly took care of the gunmen, then left quickly!" Hu Yu’er recalled.

Li Yifei listened with a calm expression, but internally cursed, "Damn, it really was me!"

He had been on many missions, not all were memorable, but he indeed remembered that one, for no other reason than some errors occurred during that mission, although ultimately successful, it faced several hurdles along the way.

It was a pursuit of a drug dealer, requiring a border crossing. Only Huaxia’s forces were involved; there was no coordination with the other country’s officials. Li Yifei led a small team in stealth, according to intelligence, targeting a specific location. They sneaked over, heard noises inside, and directly stormed in to resolve it, only to find they targeted the wrong people. Although those they took down also had weapons, they were not the drug dealers they were looking for.

After realizing the mistake, Li Yifei hurriedly ordered a retreat, re-located the actual drug dealer, then proceeded to capture him along with his escorts, over a hundred kilograms of drugs, and more raw materials. The former was killed, the latter burned.

Hearing Hu Yu’er’s recount, Li Yifei immediately connected it to that incident, surprised to find out the people he unintentionally saved were compatriots, especially in such a circumstance.

Back then, he didn’t pay attention to the surroundings; discovering he’d targeted the wrong people, he swiftly withdrew the team to avoid alerting the Myanmar authorities.

"That person was you, wasn’t it, Li Yifei! I remember your eyes and your silhouette. At first, when you charged in, you were back-facing me; later when leaving, you turned around and glanced at me. Though masked, your stature and eyes I remembered!" Hu Yu’er saw Li Yifei deep in thought and felt a surge of hope.

Li Yifei hesitated briefly and replied, "I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else!"

"No, you hesitated just now, you were recalling that incident, so that person was definitely you! I couldn’t believe it when we met at the fish market; I was overjoyed!"

Li Yifei raised an eyebrow, sighed, broke away from Hu Yu’er’s hands, and said, "If you insist I’m that person, then fine, let it be!"

"You see, you see, you are indeed him, Li Yifei, I... I had a dream back then, to find you and thank you in person. If those goods had been robbed, I’d have gone bankrupt!" Hu Yu’er said excitedly, almost wanting to stand up.

Li Yifei pressed down her hand, saying, "Alright, I’ve received your thanks!"

"No, this is just one thing!" Hu Yu’er still struggled to stand up, her ankle had improved considerably, now daring to put weight on it. Looking at Li Yifei, she added excitedly, "I was desperate at that time, it was your appearance that pulled me out of the abyss, like a hero, a super soldier descending from above to rescue me from danger."

Yeah, I did jump down from the ceiling at that time, could be considered descending from above, Li Yifei mused internally, listening to Hu Yu’er as she continued, "So I said I’d marry him if he was..."

"Wait, I am married!" Li Yifei sensed something was off; this woman even mentioned marriage, quickly extinguishing any of her thoughts.

"Ah?" Hu Yu’er indeed paused, her eyes wide, staring at Li Yifei.

"I’m married, have several kids!" Li Yifei reiterated.

Hu Yu’er blinked, seemingly dazed, after several seconds suddenly said, "You really are him? Oh my god, is this your admission?"

"I said I have several kids!" Li Yifei repeated.

"Then that means you really are him, oh my god, this is great, truly wonderful, it is you! We are really connected!" Hu Yu’er cheered.

"I’m already the father of several children, miss!" Li Yifei had to repeat again.

Hu Yu’er, however, tossed her head confidently, saying, "That’s alright, as long as it’s not several wives!"

Indeed it’s not several but a dozen! Li Yifei thought to himself, hearing the woman’s bold statements, rendering him speechless. Hu Yu’er looked at him and suddenly laughed, saying, "Just kidding, it’s been so many years, what I remember clearly... though during the mission, you may not remember so clearly. I just didn’t expect after so many years to meet you again, fate is a marvelous thing!"

"Hope it hasn’t impacted you!" Li Yifei said.

"No, it absolutely has!" Hu Yu’er replied seriously.

Li Yifei acknowledged with a nod, Hu Yu’er continued, "All these years, no matter what man I encounter, I have no interest in them, only towards you... don’t think I’ve been acting strange these days; it’s precisely because it’s you, I feel you are him, he is you, so towards you, I don’t feel repulsed. Otherwise, if it were someone else, needless to say selling me fish, speaking to me, I’d long had someone give him a hard time!"

"Feeling quite honored!" Li Yifei remarked.

Hu Yu’er nodded repeatedly, saying, "Well, it’s a shame you’re married, with several kids."

"Yes, we are very loving, happy family!" Li Yifei emphasized.

Hu Yu’er made a kissing sound with her lips, her gaze first dimmed, but seconds later lit up again, "Have you considered changing a wife?"

"I’ve said we’re very loving, happy, and complete!"

"Oh!" Hu Yu’er nodded again, appearing somewhat disappointed, but soon reignited, "Then have you considered having a mistress? A very beautiful one, great body... and quite tall, also very wealthy. I currently have more than twenty billion in assets!"

Listen to her, does she sound like a boss with assets over twenty billion? It’s clearly someone waiting to be kept as a mistress, let alone I have billions! Would I care about your money? Li Yifei glanced at her, Hu Yu’er pursed her lips down, thinking Li Yifei was glaring at her, quickly said, "Or a fourth mistress works too, I wouldn’t disrupt your family, you live normally with your... wife, just meeting occasionally with me would suffice, otherwise, I’ll buy a plane, whichever city you live in, I’ll often go there when business isn’t busy, even reside in your city, that way we can meet frequently!"

"Aren’t you tired?" Li Yifei was surprised by how quickly the woman’s demeanor changed!

"Tired... a little tired, we can sit down to speak, anyway I can’t spend all this money, so if you agree, I can do what I said earlier, and don’t worry, I truly won’t disrupt your family, I guarantee on my character!"

I don’t even know your character, Li Yifei found it both absurd and amusing, vigorously shaking his head, "Let’s not joke, if you want to be friends, I’m happy to, if you carry such intentions, then I’m sorry, I won’t agree!" Li Yifei said.

"Come on, I never meant..."

"Your joke has gone too far!" Li Yifei said seriously.
