Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1196 - 1243: He Fangqing’s Transformation

Li Yifei knew that if Xu Yingying found out about his affair with Xu Shanshan, she wouldn’t take it as easily as others might. This was the main reason why, despite being together for more than two years, their relationship still had to remain secret.

But now there was finally a chance for a breakthrough. Xu Yingying was beginning to feel it, and all he needed to do was to tempt her casually from time to time. Maybe one day she wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation and would turn her fantasies into reality.

This was definitely a very good start, and it truly made Li Yifei very happy.

While making love with Xu Yingying, she was clearly still lost in her fantasies. Su Mengxin, who was beside them, spurring Xu Yingying’s imagination, made her excited enough to feel like flying.

However, Li Yifei didn’t join in mentioning Xu Shanshan to stimulate Xu Yingying further. Knowing that he also harbored such fantasies would make Xu Yingying far too embarrassed to bring up the topic again.

The next day, Li Yifei returned to his normal work routine, arriving at the company early in the morning to tackle the backlog of tasks. With his meticulous wife, Su Yiyi, to help him, only the work that absolutely required his attention was left to him; the rest had been delegated to Su Yiyi and the others like Xu Yingying to handle.

"Here’s this month’s financial statement." Su Yiyi handed another financial statement to Li Yifei.

The paperwork used to be completely incomprehensible to Li Yifei, but now as the CEO, he understood most of it. However, some of the more specialized details were still beyond his grasp, so he would seek advice from He Fangqing.

In the company, Li Yifei still had to knock on the door before entering He Fangqing’s office, to avoid intruding if she had visitors and to maintain her authority as the financial director. Even though Li Yifei was the chairman of the entire group, he still needed to show the due respect to He Fangqing.

It seemed like He Fangqing was on the phone. After a short wait, she called out, "Come in!"

Li Yifei opened the door and walked in, only to see He Fangqing looking a bit under the weather. He immediately asked, "Fangqing, are you not feeling well?"

He Fangqing shook her head and smiled, saying, "I’m fine, really."

Li Yifei frowned and said, "Your smile seems forced. Are you sure there’s nothing wrong?" He reached out to touch her forehead, but it wasn’t hot.

"I don’t have a fever. I think I’m just worn out from the workload these past few days and haven’t been sleeping well. A good nap at noon should fix it."

Li Yifei felt that He Fangqing must be okay, so he said, "Then make sure you get some rest. Work is endless; just take it easy. If you wear yourself out, I’ll be really worried."

He Fangqing revealed a sweet smile and said, "Don’t worry, dear, I’ll be careful. What did you want to talk about?"

"I wanted to discuss some financial issues with you, but seeing that you’re tired, let’s talk about it later."

"It’s okay, I’m currently free. Whatever you don’t understand, I can explain now."

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "No, I can’t let my wife get exhausted. If you have time, you should rest a bit. Or maybe I can give you a massage to relieve your fatigue."

"There’s no need for that; you must have a lot on your plate. I’ll be fine soon," He Fangqing quickly replied.

"There’s nothing more important than my wife’s health," Li Yifei said with feigned anger, giving He Fangqing a stern look, then pulled her over to the couch, let her lie down, with her head on his lap, and began to massage her head.

"You’re so good to me," He Fangqing suddenly said, her eyes turning red.

"Come on, we’ve been together for so long; with just a gesture like this, you get touched? It seems I haven’t been caring enough. I must correct it from now on."

"No, you’ve been really good to me. I’m truly fortunate to be with you," He Fangqing said, stroking Li Yifei’s thigh.

"It’s my responsibility to make you all happy. If you’re not, then I’m failing my duties. I’m warning you again, don’t overwork yourself. If you get this worn out again, I won’t let it slide; I’ll make sure you can’t get out of bed the next day."

"Naughty husband, if you punish me like that, then I’ll make sure you’re displeased every day," she teased.

Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "Then it seems this method of punishment won’t work; we should find another way."

After a few more laughs and the massage, the weariness disappeared from He Fangqing’s face, and she looked spirited once more. However, after Li Yifei left, He Fangqing took out her phone with a soft sigh and, touching her forehead, seemed to be facing a very difficult situation.

At dinner that evening, noticing that He Fangqing still looked tired, Li Yifei said, "Fangqing, you really should rest properly these days. Otherwise, take a few days off to recuperate at home?"

He Fangqing hastily replied, "It’s nothing; I’ll be fine after some sleep. You don’t need to worry about me."

Xu Yingying frowned and said, "Fangqing, you haven’t been looking so well these past few days. The company employs so many people; you should let them do more and not handle everything yourself."

He Fangqing brushed back her hair from her forehead and said, "Back when I was at the small company, I got used to doing everything myself and I don’t feel secure delegating tasks to others."

Su Mengxin laughed, "A person’s energy is always limited; it’s impossible to take care of everything personally. Being a good leader is about how to motivate your subordinates, that’s the most important part. If you do everything yourself, it’ll just make the staff feel incompetent. Not only will you feel exhausted, but it’ll also be harder to get work done below. Even if you give them tasks, they’ll lack confidence."

An awkward smile appeared on He Fangqing’s face. "I understand, I’ll try to let them handle more from now on," she said.

Su Mengxin added, "You’re just too competitive, Fangqing. Sometimes, it’s better for a woman not to compete so much. Our family already has a strong husband; we just need to assist and cheer from the sidelines. Let this big man handle the issues." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Li Yifei laughed, "Yeah, men are supposed to protect you from wind and rain, right? Fangqing, you can’t deprive your husband of his rights."

"Sorry for worrying you all, I know what I should do now. I’ll relax more and try to manage the team instead of doing everything myself."

"That’s my good girl. Here, have some sea cucumber to nourish your body." Li Yifei picked up a piece of sea cucumber and brought it to He Fangqing’s mouth.

He Fangqing opened her mouth and ate, while Ning Xin’er laughed, "That’s so lovely, I want some too."

Li Yifei immediately fetched a piece for Ning Xin’er too, saying, "Everyone gets a share."

At this moment, Little Yifei suddenly rubbed her cheek with her hand and said loudly, "Embarrassing, embarrassing, you’re all grown-ups, and still letting dad feed you, you’re really naughty."

Everyone was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter, while Ning Xin’er and He Fangqing felt quite embarrassed. Being admonished by their daughter like this was a real loss of face.

Little Yixiang, stretching out her little hands, was cooing for something. The little one could now crawl and seemed to know to ask for things. She didn’t know what Ning Xin’er and He Fangqing were eating, but if Dad was feeding it, she wanted some too.

The scene delighted everyone, eliciting hearty laughter, contributing to always enjoyable family gatherings, something that truly gratified Li Yifei.

He Fangqing’s phone suddenly rang. She glanced at it, and her face briefly changed color, but she quickly returned to normal and said, "You all keep eating, I’ll just take this call."

At that moment, everyone’s attention was on the two daughters, and nobody noticed the change in He Fangqing’s expression. Taking a call was normal enough and no one thought much of it.

After some fun, everyone left the dining room. Li Yifei spent more time chatting with his family, then noticing He Fangqing hadn’t returned, he asked if anyone had seen her. But nobody had, which puzzled Li Yifei, prompting him to call He Fangqing.

"Fangqing, where did you go?" he asked.

"I stepped out to take care of something; I’ll be back soon."

"Oh, don’t go far, and come back early."

"Yeah, I know. I’ll be back in a bit, don’t worry about me."

Having contacted He Fangqing, Li Yifei was no longer worried. He didn’t ask what she was up to; he had complete trust in his wife and respected their need for personal space. If he inquired about every place she went, it would show a lack of trust.

Li Yifei then turned to Xu Shanshan and said, "Shanshan, I’ve encountered many doubts at Jiang Ningxiang’s place recently. We have some time tonight, so let’s discuss them."

Xu Shanshan rolled her eyes at Li Yifei and said, "You really know how to put people to work. I’ve just got back and you want to discuss this with me."

"Hehe, these doubts have been bothering me for a while now. If I don’t sort them out, it will drive me crazy."

"Alright, alright, your bad luck. But I’m telling you, you have just one hour. If you go over, I’m done."

Li Yifei quickly replied, "Ok, ok, one hour it is."

Xu Shanshan stood up and said to Jiang Ningxiang, "You wait for me at my place; I’ll come over and teach you later."

"Okay," Jiang Ningxiang also stood up, but as she watched Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan leave, her expression turned a bit strange. If Brother Li was discussing Meridians with Xu Shanshan, did that mean they were going to be like her and Li Yifei? She was just a young girl, but Xu Shanshan was Xu Yingying’s sister. If she got close to Brother Li like that... Jiang Ningxiang’s imagination ran wild.
