What a joke, Li Yifei thought to himself, this girl still wants to play this trick. God knows how many home-wrecking mistresses in this world started off without wanting anything, just wanting the person and the feelings, but then... greedy for more land. The desires are insatiable. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Damn, what am I thinking here. Even if she really walks the talk, this can’t be agreed upon, what would that become! Li Yifei said, whether intentionally or unintentionally saving someone, it didn’t matter to him. A word of thanks would indeed be nice, but if not, then it doesn’t matter.

However, it’s just in these one or two years that Li Yifei himself hasn’t even noticed his shift. Compared to before, it truly is significant.

"I’m sorry, I... I wasn’t joking!" Hu Yu’er’s expression paused, and after understanding Li Yifei’s meaning, her mood fell. She nodded and softly said, "I’m sorry for bothering you!"

"It’s not a matter of bothering. Even if I saved you at that time, I didn’t ask for anything. Besides, you don’t know who I am, you don’t know my past, don’t know what kind of person I am. You don’t know if I am good or bad. Maybe your feelings towards me are just built on the fantasies of these years. Once you find out that I’m not the person you imagined, then those likes might quickly turn into hate. More likely, you would think the me standing here has destroyed the great hero in your heart. Maybe at that time, you would want to have someone kill me!"

Li Yifei’s words left Hu Yu’er dumbfounded. She seemed to not have thought of this layer; her lips moved slightly yet were unable to refute. She then heard Li Yifei continue, "Moreover, even if I’m the same as the one you imagine, it’s impossible to be entirely the same. What’s more, I’m married, I have children, so it’s impossible for there to be a mistress or more. Just think about it yourself, if the man you like is having affairs with other women outside, wouldn’t you think this man is scum? If you feel you could accept him, no matter how he goes wild with other women, if you don’t care at all, then just pretend I never said that."

Hu Yu’er froze; hearing Li Yifei’s words, she started to think. After a while, Hu Yu’er raised her head, looked at Li Yifei, and nodded, "You’re right, if he’s that kind of person, I wouldn’t like him!"

"Yes, the man you long for day and night is not actually me, even if that incident really was done by me!" Li Yifei said here, shaking his arm, and then continued, "Either you continue to imagine that person, after all, you’re dwelling in it, or you let go of that person, after all, he’s just someone imagined!"

"No, no, Li Yifei, you don’t know how attractive you are now, what you just said was simply... simply illuminating, and it further proved your quality. I don’t know what kind of person you are in life now, but hearing me talk about having so much money, throwing myself at you, in so many ways actively, you didn’t care, yet advised me to let go, Li Yifei, do you know how amazing you are?" Hu Yu’er said with bright eyes.

Li Yifei wanted to slap his forehead, Damn, what did I do? I was clearly guiding this woman to give up on that fantasy of me, also to lessen trouble, but this woman is instead more excited...

"Didn’t you understand what I just said?" Li Yifei asked.

"I did understand! But you didn’t understand what I meant, I said what you just said further proves you are a good person, truly a good person..."

"I’m confused. You take a bath first, change clothes, and calm down!" Li Yifei said.

"Okay, I’ll wash up first, um... can you find me some clothes in the closet next door, on the left are clothes, on the right is underwear, sorry to bother!"

"Can’t you walk yourself?" Li Yifei asked.

"I’m... still a bit in pain, and wet all over!"

Am I not wet too? Li Yifei turned and walked a few steps, then remembered, found the clothes and underwear, handed them in, and then turned to walk downstairs.

Chen Junxiao was asleep, still maintaining a reserved posture. Li Yifei gently laid her flat, sat on the other side, and lightly got lost in thought. Having understood the cause, there’s no more dwelling in suspicion or guessing the other’s intentions. He just hadn’t expected it, that he could meet by such coincidence. If there weren’t Zhao Family’s incidents, if he hadn’t exhausted his True Qi, misstepped into the sea and got rescued by Chen Junxiao, then caught fish to sell fish, perhaps... they would never have met.

Indeed she’s beautiful, but Li Yifei warned himself, he must hold onto the bottom line, hold onto what he thinks now. He can’t mess around with emotional debts anymore.

Ten minutes later, footsteps came down. Having showered and changed clothes, Hu Yu’er came downstairs. Seeing Chen Junxiao asleep, she lightened her steps; it was clear her ankle was better. Though still a bit weak, she walked over to Li Yifei, and softly said, "You should change clothes too, I’ll get someone to find you some clothes!"

"No need for me!" Li Yifei shook his head, Hu Yu’er looked at Li Yifei’s shoulder and his lower back, her face fell, and she pouted, "Please, take a shower, so I can get someone to apply medicine on you, it’s all wet now!"

"Alright!" Li Yifei nodded, following Hu Yu’er upstairs. Of course, they took the elevator this time. Arriving at Hu Yu’er’s bedroom, Li Yifei walked in, closed the door, and outside, Hu Yu’er pouted and said, "I don’t eat people, what are you so afraid of me for!"

Inside, Li Yifei heard it clearly and thought: "Who says you don’t eat people, you’re naturally born with organs for man-eating!"

After showering, Li Yifei looked at the wound on his shoulder, and also untied the bandage on his lower back, thinking to himself that he’d start recovery tonight once he’s back. Since entangled with Hu Yu’er, his wish to live as an ordinary person for a few days wouldn’t be realized anymore. If not to leave soon, she would definitely pester him day and night.

Li Yifei didn’t think Hu Yu’er was a bad person, just that this matter must hold to principles.

Sometimes, sentiments in the world are like this, one side’s burning hot, while the other is cold as ice, naturally, it won’t work out. Those engaging in affairs, extramarital relationships, both parties must participate, unilateral seduction alone can’t succeed unless forcibly subdued while unconscious. If one side is unwilling, how can an affair happen? So, when caught cheating or the like, just admit it straight away, don’t give disgraceful excuses.

Li Yifei also advised himself against fooling around, against fooling around, against fooling around...

After the shower, Hu Yu’er asked Li Yifei to wait a bit. Lightly knocking on the door, Li Yifei opened it a crack and saw Hu Yu’er handing over a bathrobe, saying, "Clothes haven’t arrived yet, you wear this for now, change later."

"Okay!" Li Yifei took it and put it on, and soon walked out of the bathroom, seeing two people coming up, one was a doctor and the other bringing clothes.

Changing into fresh clothes, Li Yifei received the doctor’s treatment and bandaging. Looking at the clear scratches on Li Yifei’s shoulder, the doctor’s eye corner twitched. With only the two of them here, it was evidently from the young lady, so is the young miss... finally found her ideal man?

It’s unfortunate, the Hu Family is currently in a turbulent time, whether it’s good or bad that the young miss has found her ideal man is unknown!

After bandaging, Li Yifei put on his upper clothing too, a new shirt, covering the attractive muscles. Hu Yu’er licked her lips, only feeling Li Yifei was good in every way, as if there were no bad aspects, even when he widened his eyes, it was particularly charming.

Those who had worked with Hu Yu’er, seeing her in this state, their eyeballs would likely fall out. They probably never saw such a feminine Hu Yu’er. In the Southern Sky Province, Hu Yu’er had a nickname called Enchantress, saying her variability, also quite cold-blooded.

"Who is Chen Junxiao? What’s your relationship?" Hu Yu’er suddenly asked.

Li Yifei thought for a moment and said, "Nothing much, I encountered some issues before, drove into the sea, she saved me, and I lived at her place."

"She saved you? Oh my, how did you drive into the sea, what happened, who’s giving you trouble? Tell me, I will get back at them for you!" Hu Yu’er immediately said.

"It’s nothing that dramatic, just accidentally drove in!" Li Yifei thought, you’re only worth two billion, the ones I messed with, their assets are in the hundreds of billions, even trillions. Telling you is pointless. Besides, the ones I messed with were already dealt with by me.

"Really dangerous, if... without that little girl, wouldn’t you... I don’t dare imagine!" Hu Yu’er said with some worry.

"Indeed, thanks to her for saving me!" Li Yifei said.

"I must repay her; I won’t let her save in vain!" Hu Yu’er said, clenching her fist.

However, Li Yifei said, "I’m already planning to take her with me!"

"What about her parents? Did they agree?" Hu Yu’er immediately asked.

"She... doesn’t have parents anymore."

"Oh, deceased?" Hu Yu’er asked, seeing Li Yifei nod, her expression dimmed, and she sighed, "Like me!"

Like me too! Li Yifei wanted to respond, but held back. If not, Hu Yu’er would certainly seize the opportunity to say something. But fate is such, the three people in this villa are all without parents, each with different life trajectories: he became the patriarch of the Li family, living a superior life; Hu Yu’er too, owning assets worth billions, albeit a little lonely, has unimaginable assets under normal people, with her own happiness. And Chen Junxiao... if not for meeting him, without this incident, what would her fate have been?

Would it be that one day, falling ill and unnoticed, she would despair unto death? Or would her uncle and aunt nearly sell her off as they wish, marrying someone else, although she’s nowhere near marriage age. But Li Yifei knew, that aunt would absolutely not give up on squeezing her for this one reason.
