Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1200 - 1248: Truth Comes Out When Drunk

Miss Reiko has been staying at Li Yifei’s house recently. However, she is a very polite person and rarely participates in family activities with them. Her foot injury has healed, and now her reason for not leaving is her fondness for the garden at Li Yifei’s house, which she finds hard to part with.

When Li Yifei came out from Meng Xiaofei’s place, he saw Miss Reiko.

"Miss Reiko, I haven’t seen you for quite a few days, I’m really sorry." Li Yifei really hadn’t seen Miss Reiko these past few days, and only remembered she was still at his house upon seeing her now.

Miss Reiko gave a slight smile and said, "Yifei, don’t be polite. Staying at your place for so many days has been quite troubling already."

"Haha, don’t be polite. Where are you going?" Li Yifei walked alongside Miss Reiko.

"I just came to find you," Miss Reiko turned to give Li Yifei a look.

"Oh? What’s the matter?"

Miss Reiko smiled slightly, saying, "I came to bid you farewell, I have been disturbing you for so long, it’s time for me to leave."

Li Yifei immediately responded, "Are you going back to your country?"

Miss Reiko chuckled lightly and said, "Yifei, do you really wish me to go back?"

Li Yifei coughed lightly and said, "Not at all. Didn’t you tell me you like Mile City? So when you said you want to leave, I naturally thought you were going back to your country."

"No, I just want to go out for a walk. Staying here, I... won’t have the chance to encounter Mr. Mu Fei." When Mu Fei was mentioned, Miss Reiko’s face blushed slightly.

Li Yifei broke out in a cold sweat, the longer the time passed, the more Miss Reiko’s feelings for Mu Fei seemed to change. Previously, Miss Reiko had mixed feelings of love and hate for Mu Fei, but after so long, her love has outweighed the hate, and now what remained was more the longing.

Li Yifei was the only one who knew Miss Reiko’s true thoughts, and this Mu Fei was actually him. He was also very scared about this and said, "Miss Reiko, actually, there’s something I’ve never told you."

"Oh? What is it?" Miss Reiko turned, looking puzzled at Li Yifei.

"Miss Reiko, have you ever thought, if you really find Mu Fei, what should you do then? He stole your country’s secrets. When you see him, would you let your country capture him, or would you keep it to yourself?"

"I..." Miss Reiko was suddenly speechless. She had only fantasized about meeting Mu Fei again, but never thought that far.

"Actually, I feel that you should let go of this Chapter. Not seeing him might be better. From what I see, you’ve already grown to like him. If you really find him, it will only trap you in an extremely difficult controversy. But if you don’t meet him, you can still retain a bit of nostalgia, a fantasy, isn’t that much better?"

"This..." Miss Reiko was at a loss for words.

"Letting go is also a form of wisdom. I think with Miss Reiko’s intelligence, you should understand this notion."

Miss Reiko walked slowly with her head down. After a while, she lifted her head and gave a bitter smile, "Thank you for the reminder, Yifei. I know what I should do now."

Li Yifei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed like the trouble with Miss Reiko could be resolved.

Miss Reiko shook her head, then stretched her arms and said: "Hearing what you said, I feel much more relaxed. You are right, some things can’t be forced, and some people, there’s no need to meet again."

"Congratulations on seeing it clearly," Li Yifei smiled slightly.

Miss Reiko turned to look at Li Yifei, smiling sweetly, "Actually, the more I interact with you, the more I find you possess qualities that attract women, and I can understand more and more why your wife follows you so devotedly."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Hehe, it’s really relaxing to be friends with someone like you, who really knows how to comfort people. If I have any troubles in the future, I’ll come to you for psychological help, don’t turn me away then."

Li Yifei solemnly said, "Absolutely no problem, it’s truly my honor to serve Miss Reiko."

Aoki Reiko couldn’t help but laugh lightly, saying, "You’re quite the comedian, always managing to amuse people inadvertently."

Li Yifei laughed heartily, saying, "Making Miss Reiko happy is also my honor."

After exchanging a few jokes, Li Yifei asked, "By the way, do you have any plans for the future?"

Aoki Reiko hesitated for a moment and said, "Originally, I came here to find that guy Mu Fei, but now that you mention it, it seems meaningless to find him. Staying here seems pointless too, I’m considering, just like you said, going back to my country."

Li Yifei generously said, "If you want to go back home, go ahead, and if not, you can stay here as long as you want."

Aoki Reiko stretched her arms again and said, "I think I should go back. I’ve been away for a long time and my father must be worried, and there’s a lot to deal with back home. I can’t just abandon everything forever."

"Hmm, since you’ve decided that, I’ll support you."

"Hehe, why do I feel like you want me to leave soon? Do I annoy you that much?"

"Not at all, I’m a father too, and I can totally understand the concern for one’s child. Besides, you are the sole heir to Aoki Group, it’s not right for you to neglect your duties and let go of your company affairs. If I were your father, I’d be beside myself with frustration."

"Giggles, you guessed right, my father is really mad now, so I have decided to go back."

Li Yifei finally felt at ease, knowing that once Aoki Reiko went back, chances of meeting again were slim.

"Speaking of the company, I’m really interested in your company now, our group has been thinking of going international for a while. Maybe when we meet again, it would be as business partners."

"That’s definitely no problem, I’m happiest when there’s money to be made." Yet she secretly fretted, thinking if she collaborated with Aoki Reiko, wouldn’t that mean there would be more chances to meet? But with a business deal coming right to her door, she couldn’t refuse it, and would have Xu Yingying handle the discussions when the time comes.

Aoki Reiko was leaving, and that night, Li Yifei’s house held a grand family banquet as a farewell for Aoki Reiko, which touched her deeply. She hadn’t interacted much with Li Yifei, but had more interactions with Xiao Ling’er and Su Mengxin, making it clear to her that their behavior was partly due to her status, but more importantly, it was about friendship.

This kind of friendship was something Aoki Reiko seldom experienced back in her country. The reason was simple: being the only heir to Aoki Group and a future super-rich lady, when people befriended her, how many had no ulterior motives? Even if the friendship started with no purposes, over time, thoughts would emerge, contaminating the purity of the friendship.

Moved, Aoki Reiko drank a lot of alcohol, eventually losing control, and ended up drinking too much.

Xu Yingying and Ning Xin’er helped Aoki Reiko back to her villa as she staggered slightly, though her mouth never stopped moving. Maybe because she had repressed her feelings for too long, the alcohol finally allowed her to vent.

"Yingying, Xin’er, do you think I’m silly? I’m really so silly. That Mu Fei stole our national secrets and used me as a shield, he’s simply a villain, and yet I was still thinking about him, wanting to find him. Is there anyone else in the world as foolish as me?"

Xu Yingying and Ning Xin’er knew that Mu Fei was Li Yifei, and upon hearing this, they didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. Xu Yingying said, "What’s in the past is past. Since that guy is so bad, wouldn’t it be better to forget him?"

"Yes, I should forget him. Today, Feijun enlightened me, and I think he’s right. Even if I found him, what could I do? That would only make me feel worse and more unsure."

Ning Xin’er said, "Exactly, seeing him wouldn’t be better than not seeing him."

Aoki Reiko shook her head emphatically and proclaimed, "Yes, not seeing him is better than seeing him. I won’t think about him anymore."

After a few steps, Aoki Reiko suddenly began to sob, murmuring, "But... I still think about him. He must have stolen the secrets as part of a mission, not of his own will. I know he’s not a bad person. If it weren’t for him, I would have been dead by now. Back then, he could have easily left me behind, but he chose to risk everything to save me. He even kissed me. I stripped down on the boat for him to see, but he didn’t touch me. How could such a man be a bad person?"

Xu Yingying and Ning Xin’er exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat puzzled. Li Yifei had come back and explained everything that happened, including Aoki Reiko’s part, but he never mentioned the incident about Aoki Reiko stripping down.

"Back then, although he seemed very fierce, claiming he was going to assault me, I know that he never intended to harm me. He just wanted me to hate him, just to make sure I didn’t show any affection for him when faced with an investigation, to prevent dragging me into it, so that the police and military would think I was just a victim. I know all these, so I really don’t hate him now. I like him. Yingying, Xin’er, do you think I can find him? I really want to find him."

Ning Xin’er and Xu Yingying looked at each other in silence. These were things Li Yifei had indeed mentioned, and they thought he had handled things quite well. But who knew, Aoki Reiko had seen through it all, which meant her feelings for Mu Fei, who was actually Li Yifei, were not so easy to let go of.
