Chapter 2503: Chapter 2567: Even the Child Was Deceived
What a pity! At home with my wife, I still have to be on guard against other wives catching us. Hiding in the wardrobe, Li Yifei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; in any case, he felt awkward holding his clothes. Li Yifei couldn’t put them down, and as soon as the wardrobe door closed, it was pitch black with no gaps, leaving him relying solely on his hearing for judgment.
As soon as Lin Qiong came in, she sniffed the air, her face showing a hint of suspicion. A fierce battle had just taken place in the room. Not only was there the smell of sweat, but more importantly, there was a particular scent similar to disinfectant. This smell was quite strong, especially since they hadn’t opened any windows or doors. As a seasoned ’veteran’, Lin Qiong immediately recognized what this smell was. She frowned, looked at the messy bed, and confirmed that this was the scene of a recent ’incident’. Examining the trash bin for used tissues as evidence, she pursed her lips and heard noises coming from the bathroom, prompting her to walk over.
Li Yixiang naturally didn’t understand anything. She started running around the room, shouting, "Mom, Mom, are you home?"
"I’m here... Mommy’s taking a bath, dear. Wait for a moment, okay!" Ye Yunzhu’s voice came through. Lin Qiong hesitated for a moment, but she had already pushed open the bathroom door and found Ye Yunzhu standing under the shower, with hot water gushing down. Lin Qiong walked straight in.
"Lin Qiong, why are you here?" Ye Yunzhu feigned surprise upon seeing her.
Lin Qiong rolled her eyes. Although Li Yifei wasn’t visible in the bathroom, that didn’t mean he wasn’t there. Seeing Ye Yunzhu pretending, Lin Qiong straightforwardly asked, "Yunzhu, why are you taking a shower in broad daylight?"
"Uh... I just exercised a bit and got sweaty, so I’m taking a shower. Otherwise, I’d feel really uncomfortable," Ye Yunzhu said bashfully, still recovering from her first round with Li Yifei when Lin Qiong appeared.
Lin Qiong pouted, naturally not believing a word of it, when Li Yixiang said, "Mom, Dad’s not here with you."
"No... he’s not." Lying to the child, especially under Lin Qiong’s peculiar gaze, Ye Yunzhu couldn’t help but feel guilty.
Li Yixiang seemed disinterested in her mom taking a bath and, glancing around, mused, "I’ll go find Dad, maybe he’s with the other moms. Lin Qiong mom, do you want to come with me?"
"Mom will come find you later. You go ahead first!" Lin Qiong didn’t seem ready to leave, which made Ye Yunzhu panic, knowing Lin Qiong had certainly seen through everything.
Li Yixiang was slightly disappointed but quickly said, "Okay, Lin Qiong mom, I’ll go on my own then, but you must come and find me."
"Alright, Yixiang, you go ahead. Make sure to tell Dad that I’m looking for him too." Lin Qiong replied.
"Okay, okay!" said Li Yixiang as she started to run out. Lin Qiong reminded her to slow down and not fall. With the kid downstairs, Lin Qiong leaned against the door frame, arms folded, watching Ye Yunzhu.
"What’s there to see about showering? Get out!" Ye Yunzhu said somewhat sheepishly.
"Watching a beauty shower, of course, there’s plenty to see," Lin Qiong raised an eyebrow, speaking with a meaningful tone.
"Go on, get out and wait! Or, you could join me in the shower," Ye Yunzhu teased.
Lin Qiong shook her head, "I’m not showering; I didn’t do any exercising."
Li Yifei had already opened the wardrobe door and stepped out. With the daughter gone and only Lin Qiong left, he naturally wasn’t afraid.
Upon hearing sounds behind her, Lin Qiong turned around to see Li Yifei approaching with a cheeky grin and said, "Oh, dear husband, you seem quite content; you don’t even bother with clothes at home?"
"What nonsense!" Li Yifei walked straight up to her, but Lin Qiong dodged to the side as if avoiding his touch. Li Yifei laughed, "It’s just that... we just did something enjoyable, didn’t we?"
"Shameless, neglecting the kids to come here; do you even have any sense of responsibility?" Lin Qiong remarked, her face falling.
Li Yifei exchanged a look with Ye Yunzhu, who seemed to understand, and gently twisted the shower below, adjusting the water temperature. As Lin Qiong had her back turned, Ye Yunzhu suddenly directed the shower head toward her.
"Ah!" Lin Qiong jumped in shock. Completely unguarded against this, she was startled, and as she tried to dodge, her clothes were already drenched. Li Yifei took the opportunity to quickly move in front of Lin Qiong, his long arms embracing her, saying, "Dear wife, since you’re here, don’t leave. Let’s do something enjoyable together."
"Let go of me!" Lin Qiong struggled hard, but Li Yifei’s strength was greater, and as the valiant policewoman’s resistance proved futile, soon enough, her clothes had been stripped off. Ye Yunzhu adjusted the shower back and began washing with a cheerful smile.
Having been without intimacy for a long time, Lin Qiong couldn’t resist Li Yifei’s teasing. Before long, she ceased her resistance but, after all, a policewoman is a policewoman. Back in the day, it was she who initiated their first time together, holding control. Faced with inescapable fate this time, Lin Qiong firmly demanded Li Yifei lie on the floor tiles...
The result was that none of the three adults took care of the children, but rather they ran into the room to do embarrassing things, and didn’t appear until evening. Lin Qiong and Ye Yunzhu’s faces were rosy, their eyes charming, and under everyone’s gaze, their eyes flickered. It was clear without saying what these three had been up to.
However, the group of women didn’t expose it. It seems that these kinds of things have been happening frequently in the Li family in recent days, so it’s not considered excessive anymore. After more than a year, the Worm curse was lifted, so Li Yifei really ought to make up for lost time with his wives. As for Li Yifei himself... He’s always been fascinated by such matters, and now his body is unbelievably strong. As Lin Qiong put it, he’s basically a humanoid pile driver or a human electric drill.
Of course, this is just a part of the life in the Li family, not the whole, and it’s not something they talk about openly. There’s no real discomfort over who gets more or less.
During dinner, Li Yifei announced, "Shanshan probably won’t be able to come back for the New Year. She’s in seclusion for cultivation, but Elder Qingqiu is accompanying her!"
Xu Yingying’s expression changed slightly. The two sisters have always spent New Year together, no matter where they studied or worked over the years. Now that Xu Shanshan cannot come back, she’s understandably worried.
"Can’t she come back for just a few days?" Chu Xiaoyao asked.
"When I was doing Dual Cultivation with Ali, she was already in seclusion and hasn’t come out yet. If Shanshan found out, she wouldn’t want to stay away." Li Yifei laughed. As he mentioned Dual Cultivation, Su Lio, sitting opposite, bit her lip, blushing. Apart from the Xu Family Sisters, now the Li family also has Su Lio and Su Mengxin, women of different generations. Su Mengxin is okay, but Su Lio still struggles a bit with this new dynamic, feeling awkward about her identity.
"Well, we just don’t know when Shanshan will come back." He Fangqing said, as it’s worrisome for the ladies of the Li family celebrating alone in the wilderness.
"That we don’t know. Elder Qingqiu hasn’t mentioned it, but I suppose when Shanshan comes out, there will be some improvement," Li Yifei added.
The women nodded and continued with dinner. After the meal, Li Yifei transmitted a message to He Fangqing, "Sister He, don’t wander off, wash up neatly and wait for me."
He Fangqing paused for a moment, looked around to confirm no one else heard, and then quickly walked out.
That night, Li Yifei was naturally just as tireless, working hard to ensure each woman felt satisfied in both body and mind before the New Year.
As the New Year approached, more people gathered at the Li family’s home. Like Xu Zhenguo and his wife, their eldest daughter is married, and the second daughter is not at home, so they wouldn’t spend it alone and instead come to the Li family for the celebrations. Other women’s parents and relatives also choose to come to the Li family for the New Year, like Ye Yunzhu’s parents.
Li Yifei sat with Ning Xin’er, watching his eldest daughter Li Yufei play the piano. She inherited Ning Xin’er’s genes and was extremely talented and sensitive to music. Her teachers praised her endlessly, and now her piano skills have already surpassed level ten and continue to improve rapidly.
Listening to her play "Mariage d’Amour," Li Yufei stopped and looked at her dad expectantly, waiting for his feedback.
"Fantastic, you played wonderfully, my daughter!" Li Yifei gave a thumbs-up.
Li Yufei smiled sweetly at her dad and turned to her mom. "Mom, how did I do?"
Ning Xin’er frowned and shook her head. "How did you think that long section went?"
Li Yufei thought for a moment, "I think I made two mistakes..."
"Just two?" Ning Xin’er questioned, "Are you sure it’s only two?"
"Then... maybe three?"
"I’ve told you several times; when you’re learning, you need to focus and not fool yourself. You have to be clear about your own mistakes while playing and reflect after you finish. It’s disappointing if you don’t even know how many mistakes you made now," Ning Xin’er said.
Ugh, Li Yifei felt slightly awkward standing by. He knew his daughter’s performance wasn’t perfect, partly because his presence made her nervous. Without him listening, she might make fewer mistakes. However, Ning Xin’er’s approach was strict, and as a loving father, Li Yifei hesitated to intervene, especially seeing Li Yufei bite her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.
Just as Li Yifei was about to speak, Ning Xin’er shot him a glare, as if she already predicted his interference.
Alright, dear daughter, daddy can’t help you now. With a sympathetic glance, Li Yifei looked at Li Yufei, who seemed to understand and, holding back for a moment, said, "Mom, I’ve indeed made several mistakes, so I’ll practice for a few more days until I play without errors before playing for you and dad again."
Ning Xin’er’s face softened, revealing a smile. "That’s right, mom’s not being strict with you, but there’s a certain way to study. You can’t be careless, and you must focus. You can’t be half-hearted. After all, don’t you dream of playing on the big stage? There will be even more people watching, and mistakes then would be disastrous."
