Chapter 2502: Chapter 2566: Mayor Ye’s Warning
Li Yifei treated Xu Zhenguo for a week, killing off the cancerous lesions inside his body. This process wouldn’t be too fast, especially since it’s not Li Yifei himself, and it’s dealing with cancer cells. Xu Zhenguo is now in the metastasis stage, almost late-stage. Many organs have undergone some degree of pathological changes. If it weren’t for this accident with Li Yifei coming over to check, it might not have been discovered, and by the time he really felt something was wrong, it would probably have been too late.
After this week’s treatment ended, Li Yifei checked again and found that Xu Zhenguo had completely recovered. However, since some organs had undergone pathological changes, he still needs some time to slowly recuperate and recover. Even so, this result is enough to make Mother Xu very happy. Nowadays, she has nothing but praise for her son-in-law Li Yifei, utterly satisfied.
At the Li family home, Li Yifei comfortably accepted a kiss from Xu Yingying as she said, "Hubby, I love you."
"Oh really?" Li Yifei raised an eyebrow and said playfully, "Is that all there is to it?"
"Then... how do you want it to be?"
"Hmm... I think at least three times!" As Li Yifei spoke, his hands began to wander.
"No, the kids are still here, and... mom and dad are just downstairs. Hubby, how about tonight?"
"Alright, of course," Li Yifei replied. Xu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief but was immediately pulled into his arms. Xu Yingying looked at him pitifully as Li Yifei said, "Let’s get some interest first!"
"Huh?" Xu Yingying’s eyes widened as Li Yifei kissed her deeply. As he paused, Li Yifei said, "I just gave you a small kiss; a real kiss needs to be more intense."
Xu Yingying couldn’t respond with words anymore and could only reply with actions.
Time flies, and it’s almost New Year. The Li family becomes lively, especially when Li Yifei is home; it’s as if the place gains a soul, becoming bustling. Everyone has joyful expressions, the children are growing day by day, and the family is expanding. Under Li Yifei’s influence, the women of the Li family also persuade the relatives to get a check-up. To their surprise, some of the elders were found to have not-so-great results, with a few even at the late stage...
Thankfully, they got checked, and they all came to the Li family for treatment.
Li Xinyue found it hard to speak. She also had her father checked. The old man was fine, relatively healthy, with only a few minor issues that needed slow treatment to improve. But Li Xinyue’s stepmother was diagnosed with cancer, lung cancer, with signs of metastasis.
Li Xinyue is not a heartless person, which is why she found it hard to bring up the topic. When Li Yifei asked about it, Li Xinyue didn’t know how to respond.
"Xinyue, are you still like this with your husband?" Li Yifei looked at her seriously and asked.
"It’s not that... it’s just, hubby, my dad’s fine, but my stepmom... she has cancer," Li Xinyue said with difficulty.
No wonder, Li Yifei thought with a slight smile, pinching Li Xinyue’s little face. He said, "Well, she’s still your stepmom, the one living with your dad. We can’t just ignore her illness. How about this, after the New Year, give them a call and have them come over. I’ll help them out!"
"Hubby!" Li Xinyue bit her lips, sniffing hard, almost moved to tears.
Li Yifei chuckled, pulling Li Xinyue into his arms, comforting her, "You and I are one, and these things aren’t a big deal. At most, it just takes a few days. Plus, your stepmom and her family have been doing well lately, and people do change. We should view them with a developmental perspective."
"Mmm hmm!" Li Xinyue felt a mix of guilt and intense happiness, feeling that marrying Li Yifei was enough for a lifetime.
This was just a small episode but enough to move Li Xinyue. Li Yifei wasn’t the type to hold grudges. To the Li family today, someone like Li Xinyue’s stepmom was insignificant and didn’t require much concern.
On Minor New Year, a tradition celebrated in the north, Li Yifei played with the children in the garden, basking in the sun, while the women started tidying up the house. Not knowing who to help, Li Yifei decided to join the children in the garden. Half an hour later, he received a call from Ye Yunzhu, asking him to come over.
"Do I have to come over now, honey? There’s no one to watch over the kids," Li Yifei knew what Ye Yunzhu wanted. Leaving only the second-to-last word from her earlier sentence explained everything.
"I don’t care. Since you came back, you haven’t visited me even once!" Ye Yunzhu said with a hint of complaint.
Li Yifei counted on his fingers and realized she was right. Since he returned home these past days, he hadn’t gone by... Now with more kids in the family, it was difficult for Li Yifei to have intimate moments during the day like before. He had to take it one at a time. Adding to that, there were more relatives these days, making it inconvenient. As a result, he inadvertently neglected Ye Yunzhu. Having an upset wife was not a good thing, so Li Yifei quickly apologized, glancing around while twirling his eyes, but seeing no wives around, he resorted to asking his second daughter for help since his eldest daughter was helping out. Li Yixiang, now quite mature, agreed to look after her younger siblings to let him run his errand.
"Go, go. You adults always have these excuses..."
"Good daughter, Daddy needs to deal with some matters. Be good and help Daddy, and I’ll get you something tasty later."
"Do you think I’m the kind that can be bought with good food? Mom said not to be someone who can be swayed with a few candies!"
Your mom taught you too much! Li Yifei sighed softly and said gently, "Anyway, you should help Daddy this time, right?"
"Alright, alright, go now, go now!" Li Yixiang said impatiently.
Li Yifei borrowed one leg and swiftly darted over to Ye Yunzhu’s side, fearing someone might see him if he walked too slowly. He rushed over like a thief, opened the door, and slipped inside to find Ye Yunzhu staring at him wide-eyed.
"Honey!" Li Yifei chuckled and leaned in.
Ye Yunzhu rolled her eyes at him, unmoved.
"My dear wife, I was wrong, please don’t be mad. When you’re angry, it makes me feel so..."
"Are you disgusted!" Ye Yunzhu patted her arm, shivering as if covered in goosebumps.
"I’m just... apologizing, sincerely." Li Yifei said, patting his chest.
"I don’t see any sincerity." Ye Yunzhu shook her head.
Li Yifei blinked, suddenly wrapping Ye Yunzhu around her waist, and in a few steps, carried her up the stairs. In no time, they were upstairs; once inside, he tossed Ye Yunzhu onto the bed. Within seconds, he stripped his clothes and reached his devilish hand towards Ye Yunzhu.
"Get away from me, you pervert; if you keep this up, I’ll scream for help!"
"Cackle, scream all you want, even if you scream your throat raw, no one will come to save you!" Li Yifei said, pretending.
Ye Yunzhu suddenly regained her composure, acting as if she couldn’t care less. Li Yifei felt awkward, snorted twice, and said, "Why aren’t you cooperating?"
"Cooperate with what? Cooperate till the end so you can assault me?" Ye Yunzhu calmly replied.
Reacting to this, Li Yifei bared his teeth and said: "Honey, don’t be mad, I admit I forgot, I thought I already..."
"You thought you shared the love evenly, huh? Let me tell you, it’s not just me; there’s also Lin Qiong and He Fangqing. Are we old wives no longer favored, or do you just find us unattractive, not liked anymore?" Ye Yunzhu retorted, her tone stern, but Li Yifei knew she wasn’t truly angry — assuming he changed his attitude. Otherwise, even if she wasn’t seriously mad now, it would turn into genuine anger, which would be a huge loss.
Although several other beloved wives hadn’t yet shared the love evenly, Li Yifei first had to extinguish the raging fire right before him.
Ye Yunzhu, seeing his lazy appearance, was also helpless. Having known him the longest, through years of ups and downs, she was aware of his personality. Her actions today were a wake-up call for Li Yifei, lest he truly neglect her.
Sigh, this family requires everyone to diligently maintain it; otherwise, issues arise easily...
Just as she was lost in thought, Li Yifei shamelessly sidled over, taking advantage of Ye Yunzhu’s disoriented moment, starting to get handsy.
This time, Ye Yunzhu didn’t keep a stern face and refuse. Instead, she took advantage of the child’s absence to engage in the activities she enjoyed with Li Yifei.
After more than half an hour, just as Li Yifei prepared to give dear Yunzhu a second round, voices were heard from downstairs. It was Lin Qiong bringing Li Yixiang back, and she said: "Your dad is so irresponsible, promising to play with you, yet disappeared!"
Li Yixiang pursed her little lips and nodded vigorously, saying, "Lin Qiong, mom, don’t blame him, mom said that dad can be like a child sometimes, we should indulge him a bit."
"What your mom said... makes some sense." Lin Qiong said amusingly.
Upstairs, Li Yifei heard every word, while the slightly sweaty, exhausted yet satisfied Ye Yunzhu rolled her eyes at him and asked, "What’s up?"
"What’s up... Lin Qiong brought the daughter back, uh, we need to get up quickly!" Li Yifei said and heard footsteps approaching upstairs; Lin Qiong and Li Yixiang were already close to the second floor.
No time to say more, Li Yifei hurried to get up, pulling Ye Yunzhu up too. He quietly said: "You pretend to shower, I’ll... I’ll hide in the closet. Otherwise, we’ll be caught!"
"Ah?" Ye Yunzhu blinked, soon understanding, watching Li Yifei nervously grab his clothes and shoes, open the wardrobe, and dive inside, quickly closing the door.
Ye Yunzhu blinked, hearing footsteps near outside, hastily grabbed a blanket to cover the messy bed, then quickly fled to the bathroom and turned on the water. As the sound of gushing water was heard, the bedroom door was opened; Lin Qiong held Li Yixiang’s little hand and walked in.
