Chapter 1670: Chapter 1670

A few minutes later, Li Yifei gestured for Xu Shanshan to be quiet. Xu Shanshan raised an eyebrow at him, and Li Yifei pointed in the direction of the kitchen, hearing the old couple start talking about earlier events. Although their voices were low, they could still hear them clearly.

This was the key point today. Li Yifei was very suspicious of the old couple’s motives. Why would they pull such a stunt? With their personalities and decades of temperament, how could they be interested in someone like Qi Tianlong, who seemed fine on the surface but was full of fraud? As they say, when something is abnormal, there’s always a reason behind it.

Sure enough, Xu Shanshan and Li Yifei listened closely and understood the old couple’s purpose.

Xu Zhenguo was washing dishes in the kitchen, while Xu Shanshan’s mother was tidying up the leftovers, disposing of what needed to be thrown away and putting what needed to be in the fridge. The old couple was used to not wasting anything. Even though conditions allowed it now, they wouldn’t throw things away unnecessarily. After tidying up for a while, Xu Shanshan’s mother couldn’t help but lean over and say in a low voice, "Old Xu, do you think this will work for us?"

"What’s the point in thinking about it now that we’ve done it." Xu Zhenguo replied.

"But it doesn’t seem to have any effect."

"If you say it has no effect, there’s some, it’s just not quite what we wanted."

The two were speaking in riddles, and Xu Shanshan couldn’t help but mutter, "What effect or not, what are they trying to do?"

Li Yifei put a finger to Xu Shanshan’s lips, shushing her to keep listening.

They heard Xu Shanshan’s mother said softly, "There’s no worry about Yingying, but she dotes on Shanshan too much. This girl Shanshan is still willful and has been comparing herself with Yingying since she was a child. I’m just worried if she likes Yifei, it would be a disaster."

Thud, Xu Shanshan’s hand, which was supporting her knee, slipped, and her chin almost hit the coffee table. She widened her eyes and turned to look at Li Yifei, seemingly in disbelief, thinking she might have misheard.

Xu Zhenguo sighed and said, "It wouldn’t be the best, otherwise why would we go through such trouble to test. But they are so grown up, always staying at the brother-in-law’s house, it’s indeed not good. If suspicion arises, it’s understandable."

The two of them didn’t know what to say. Before coming back, they had specially considered whether to tell Xu Zhenguo couple the truth to spare the elderly from worrying about Xu Shanshan’s marriage matters. As a result, the old couple used a ploy to test the relationship between Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan.

"It’s worrying. Yifei is great, but he can’t marry both sisters. This doesn’t follow ethics and morals. But last month, I heard from Yingying that the two of them went abroad together, and I felt something was off. Being alone together..."

"Today’s situation seemed okay, although Yifei was a bit reserved. It could be because the Qi family indeed wasn’t great, otherwise, his attitude wouldn’t be . Maybe it’s also possible he was a bit annoyed..."

"Old Xu, should we continue to test them later, or should we be direct?"

Xu Zhenguo’s expression changed. He was silent for a while before he said, "No need to be direct, it’s not urgent. Let’s continue to test slowly."

Then the old couple fell silent, without mentioning what would happen if their tests confirmed their suspicions about the two. Would they oppose it, make a fuss, or tacitly agree...

With Xu Zhenguo’s temperament, the former might be more likely. This concerns ethics and morals, and with his character, he is inflexible, possibly even ready to clobber Li Yifei on the spot.

Or perhaps, Comrade Old Xu might change his attitude and agree to it, one never knows.

Anyway, the two sitting in the living room broke out in a cold sweat. They both thought they behaved normally in front of their parents, yet the old couple still suspected them and even came up with a fake matchmaking scheme to test them.

Since when did they start suspecting the two? Both Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan were puzzled, thinking that they behaved very normally in front of their parents, and with Xu Yingying present, there shouldn’t have been any suspicion. Of course, sometimes they were indeed a bit close, but it could be interpreted as a good relationship between brother-in-law and sister-in-law rather than understanding it as a romantic relationship.

The two didn’t sit for long, nor did they give Xu Zhenguo and his wife time to continue testing. Li Yifei said he had drunk quite a bit and needed to go home to rest, which the Xu Zhenguo couple also agreed to.

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan then went downstairs, got into the car, and drove away.

After driving a few hundred meters, Xu Shanshan finally couldn’t hold it in. She pressed the gas pedal hard and looked at Li Yifei in the passenger seat, saying, "Yifei, we can’t let them know about this yet. Otherwise, I’m afraid they won’t be able to accept it!"

"Indeed, we need to think about it carefully and decide later!" Li Yifei agreed.

"It’s really... I said nothing good comes from going home. Next time I’m not coming back. These two really think they can plan this out..." Xu Shanshan sighed as she spoke.

Li Yifei said quietly, "But their guess is actually true."

After the two returned home, they calmed down. After all, it was just a guess and couldn’t be taken too seriously. Besides, they hadn’t directly asked the two about it, they only used a plan to test them. Even if they asked directly, and the two didn’t admit it, the Xu Zhenguo Couple couldn’t pin it on them.

Especially with Xu Yingying around, not being ready yet, they decided not to reveal the truth to the elderly for the time being. It was nothing major.

Xu Shanshan returned to her villa, and after she went inside, Li Yifei turned and walked away. Passing by Na Yi’s room, Li Yifei went inside, and upon seeing him, Na Yi beamed happily.

By now, Na Yi had become integrated into the holy lake of the Li family. Even if the women at home were initially reluctant, they accepted her as a member of the Li family, although it was her fault that the Li family women became increasingly restless, looking at Li Yifei with sparkling eyes, like hungry wolves.

Na Yi diligently served Li Yifei some water, while Li Yifei was looking at the two kinds of flowers Na Yi had planted, both of which had already borne fruit and were kept by Na Yi. They were just waiting for the other two herbs from Yao Lingfu to create a temporary remedy for suppressing the Worm magic, allowing for a return to normal marital life, albeit briefly.

Yin and Yang Harmonization was necessary, so the women of the Li family were very concerned about this matter. When Li Yifei was not at home, even Su Mengxin, Xu Yingying, Ning Xin’er, and the other women would visit Na Yi to inquire about the progress and encourage her.

Na Yi lived up to their expectations and cultivated both herbs.

Li Yifei asked about Na Yi’s current situation and shared some of his experiences from his recent trip, chatting for more than half an hour. Then Li Yifei was ready to leave; he hadn’t decided yet with whom to sleep tonight. From the looks of it, sleeping with any of the women would be a torment, **********, a helpless torment, so Li Yifei sometimes thought it might be better to sleep alone, so as not to affect anyone.

But sleeping alone was obviously not feasible, as the women were more prone to overthink. So, Li Yifei had to pick someone to sleep with.

He had to maintain this balance and harmony, otherwise, things could easily spiral out of control.

Li Yifei first checked on the kids, big and small, making his rounds, then returned to Na Yi’s room.

Na Yi had already bathed, changed into her pajamas, and was preparing to go to bed. She was a bit confused when she heard a knock at the door, but when she saw it was Li Yifei, her confusion turned to joy. She quickly opened the door to welcome him in.

Li Yifei realized that presently, he had less desire for Na Yi compared to any other woman, whom he couldn’t help but want to possess and conquer, even Meng Xiaofei. So, he decided to spend the night here with Na Yi.

He took a bath here, changed into the pajamas Na Yi prepared, and lay on the bed first. Na Yi seemed a bit at a loss, as although they had slept together before, it had been a long time since those days. Since then, they had been in a state of separation; Li Yifei rarely spent the night there, and even visited infrequently, which was related to him being away from home.

Na Yi appeared somewhat reserved, tugging at the hem of her nightgown, looking at Li Yifei with timid eyes.

Li Yifei patted the spot beside him and said, "Come, lie down here. It’s getting late, let’s get ready to sleep!"

Na Yi nodded, walked over to turn off the light, then quietly approached the bed, slowly sitting down and then gradually lying down.

Li Yifei silently laughed, reached out, and wrapped an arm around Na Yi’s waist, pulling her close.

His strong arm brought Na Yi closer, and her body relaxed from being tense. If Li Yifei wanted, he could do anything, and Na Yi would not resist, but Li Yifei simply wanted to hold her while they slept, as a bit of compensation, or perhaps a small gesture to please.

Once Na Yi settled, Li Yifei said, "Find a comfortable position for yourself. If you need to use the bathroom, go quickly. If not, let’s sleep fast, there’s more to do tomorrow."

"Okay!" Na Yi nodded her chin, adjusted her position, and closed her eyes.

Seeing her close her eyes, Li Yifei did the same, and a few seconds or minutes later, he felt a small hand slowly reach over, gripping his cloth lightly, carefully, as if afraid of waking him.

That small hand was caught by Li Yifei, held in his, and Na Yi was startled. In the dim light, she saw Li Yifei’s bright eyes, so charming and deep, and couldn’t help but lean her head over while letting him hold her hand without pulling away.

Li Yifei smiled, bid her goodnight again, and this time it was truly goodnight. The two fell asleep quickly; this was also the most comfortable night Na Yi had experienced since coming to the Li family, despite waking up several times, the sense of inner contentment was irresistible.
