Chapter 1681: Chapter 1681

Li Yifei drove Ye Yunzhu home, passing by a barbecue shop. Ye Yunzhu swallowed and asked Li Yifei to stop. They went down and bought a heap of barbecue. They could have had the chef make it at home, and often during the summer, the Li family would set up a few grills in the garden for a little barbecue when they had nothing else to do. But tonight, since Ye Yunzhu wanted to eat, they went along with it.

After getting in the car, Ye Yunzhu didn’t bring up Qi Tianlong; in her view, he was a person not worth mentioning. Li Yifei wouldn’t doubt her connection with Qi Tianlong, and she indeed had nothing to do with him—her conscience was clear. Thus, there was no need to mention it. As for Li Yifei hitting the guy, Ye Yunzhu didn’t feel uncomfortable. What did bother her a bit was Li Yifei holding her hand in front of so many people and leaving together.

Soon enough, their relationship would be known throughout Mile City, and even across the province.

This was important. Whether Qi Tianlong got beaten up didn’t concern Ye Yunzhu at all.

One must know, Li Yifei had held a wedding with Xu Yingying, a fact known to many. What would happen if his affair with Ye Yunzhu got out?

Ye Yunzhu could care less whether she advanced in her career or if this incident brought it to a halt; it wasn’t important, though her family hoped for her to climb higher.

Not considering the aftermath? While waiting for their order, Ye Yunzhu’s beautiful eyes glanced at Li Yifei. At this moment, she wasn’t the vice mayor or the child’s mother, just a slightly anxious woman.

"Don’t overthink. They will know sooner or later." Li Yifei held Ye Yunzhu’s hand, speaking earnestly.

Their situation, along with Li Yifei’s numerous romantic ties, wasn’t a secret within a certain circle, but openly declaring it required some thought.

Ye Yunzhu’s dashing eyebrows twitched. Her lips pouted and then retracted. Smacking her lips, she said with a hint of coquettishness, "I’ll listen to you; whatever you say."

Li Yifei reached out and flicked Ye Yunzhu’s nose, saying, "Alright, tell the family to stay up a bit later; we’ve ordered so much, five to seven people couldn’t finish it."

Such a playful gesture seemed to transport their time back ten years, recalling a youthful and awkward time, filling Ye Yunzhu with happiness. She didn’t even hear what Li Yifei had said, just nodded vigorously.

This sudden feeling enveloped Ye Yunzhu, making her forget to think about other matters; she simply cupped her cheeks with her hands, her eyes shining, looking at Li Yifei filled with happiness.

Li Yifei chuckled, took out his phone, and sent a message to the family. Chu Xiaoyao responded first—this girl had been gaming and had forgotten dinner, her stomach grumbling, debating whether to find some food. Seeing Li Yifei’s message, she jumped up, responding: "Hubby, I want some boiled fish, and those big bullfrogs, oh, oh, and those super large scallops, I want them all!"

Li Yifei replied: "I’m at a barbecue shop."

"Yes, the barbecue shop has them too. Not sure about boiled fish, but definitely scallops and stuff, please hubby, bring some. I’ll get some wine from the cellar for you, okay?"

"Alright, just wait a bit longer." Li Yifei agreed.

Chu Xiaoyao licked her lips, changed clothes, and skipped over to Li Yifei’s villa to get the wine.

Over here, Li Yifei asked for the menu, and in one go, ordered a lot of seafood. Seeing the couple’s enthusiasm, the shop owner quickly offered delivery service, and after stepping outside and seeing the Knight Fifteen, his eyes shone with realization that these two were not ordinary people.

So he personally drove, following behind the Knight Fifteen with various thermal devices.

Years later, he would still be grateful for his decision to personally deliver that night because he soon saw the Li family, even drove the car straight in, bringing with him the staff to set the ingredients on the pre-arranged table. This boss wiped his sweat sneakily, admitting as a trader, he knew about the Li family. Unexpectedly, he met the Li Family Head today, selling him over a thousand yuan of barbecue.

This honor... that’s right, he regarded it as an honor, so much so that the shop’s promotion thereafter included a line saying "Li family designated barbecue supplier," which made the business more prosperous, but that’s another story.

Women of the Li family who were still up came over. Whether to eat a late-night snack was one thing; the key was to spend some time with Li Yifei.

Someone like Chu Xiaoyao, who ate to her heart’s content without ever gaining weight—her little face was smudged with oil.

Li Yifei also sat down, opened a bottle of white spirit, poured a cup, and ate barbecue while sipping the liquor.

Ye Yunzhu... she was still wrapped in happiness; she didn’t plan on spreading tonight’s events, currently holding her daughter watching Li Yifei drinking and eating.

Lin Qiong noticed something was off with Ye Yunzhu and tapped the table in front of Ye Yunzhu with a skewer. When Ye Yunzhu snapped out of it, Lin Qiong commented, "Your soul’s gone with hubby coming to pick you up?"

Ye Yunzhu rolled her eyes at Lin Qiong, ignoring her. Lin Qiong raised an eyebrow, wanting to say something, but Meng Xiaofei handed over a few skewers of grilled chicken wings to shut her up.

The Li family gathered together for a rare midnight snack, naturally joyful. However, there was so much food that even with a few big eaters, a lot was still left, and Li Yifei, having eaten his fill, was finally chided for wastefulness. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍

Ye Yunzhu reluctantly took her daughter to bed. Someone else would clean up the remaining items, ending the gathering for Li Yifei.

In the Qi family, once Qi Tianlong’s parents understood the situation, they were immediately enraged. Qi Tianlong’s father wanted to call Xu Zhenguo right away to demand an explanation. Meanwhile, Qi Tianlong’s mother was cursing. Their beloved son got beaten, and his car was crashed—they felt hot-tempered, not willing to let this go.

Qi Tianlong recalled the merchant’s advice and his own reflections and hurriedly stopped his parents, saying, "Mom, Dad, we need to investigate first. Who exactly is this Li Yifei? Those people’s attitudes today seemed odd!"

"Right, quickly ask old friends, how is this Xu Shanshan’s brother-in-law connected with the vice mayor, and in that kind of intimate relationship?" Qi Tianlong’s mother urged, taking out a lotion to tend to her son’s wounds.

Qi Tianlong’s father quickly pulled out his phone, contacted an old friend from Mile City with some standing, and started gathering information about Li Yifei.
