Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1378 - 1427: The Scheming Eldest Daughter

After taking a look around, Li Yifei returned to the villa. As soon as he walked in, he saw his daughter Li Yufei running toward him. Upon seeing him, she happily called out "Daddy," and Li Yifei opened his arms, bent down, and picked up the little girl, giving her a kiss on her cheek.

Seeing Li Yufei made Li Yifei feel a little sad. He thought that if he didn’t resolve the Whole-hearted Worm inside him, he might not have many children in the future. Of course, he could have children with Na Yi, and have many, but Li Yifei had long decided that unless he lifted the Whole-hearted Worm, he wouldn’t engage in such things with Na Yi. This was also a promise to all the women — after all, it was unfair to them. Li Yifei wanted this oddly combined big family to be harmonious, and this was the necessary step.

"Hehe... Daddy’s beard is so prickly!" Li Yufei hugged Li Yifei’s neck, laughing happily. After Li Yifei kissed her, she smacked a kiss back on him too.

Ning Xin’er came out behind them, holding a book in her hand — a children’s comic book — with a troubled expression on her face.

Seeing this, Li Yifei asked, "What’s up with this look?"

"This look... is because of your daughter," Ning Xin’er rolled her eyes at the father and daughter, shaking the book in her hand.

Li Yifei chuckled, bounced Li Yufei a little, and asked, "Sweetheart, how did you make Mom this angry?"

"I didn’t, Mom got mad on her own, it’s not my fault."

Ning Xin’er started to complain: "It’s really your fault. She was sitting there with the book, and I asked her, ’Sweetheart, are you reading a book?’ She said, ’Yeah, Mom, I’m reading a book.’ So I said, ’Can you focus a bit while playing and reading at the same time?’ And guess what she said."

The little girl hid in Li Yifei’s arms, giggling.

"Sweetheart, what did you say?" Li Yifei asked.

Li Yufei shook her head without saying a word, pursing her lips.

Ning Xin’er snorted and said, "She actually told me, ’Sure, sure, Mom, I want a donut.’ It made me so mad."

"Pfft... Hahaha!" Li Yifei burst into laughter. Li Yufei also kept laughing, wriggling excitedly in Li Yifei’s arms.

Ning Xin’er wasn’t really angry, she just felt her daughter was deliberately annoying her, so she followed them over. It was just in time for Li Yifei to return, and she decided to complain to him. Who would’ve known that Li Yifei would not only not criticize Li Yufei, but laugh along with her instead.

Ning Xin’er’s eyes turned red, and she stomped her foot, threw the book, and was about to leave. Li Yifei grabbed her hand, pulled her slightly, and brought Ning Xin’er into his arms, coaxing, "Little Xin’er, why are you getting mad at our daughter? Come, let hubby hug you."

Ning Xin’er pouted and said, "I don’t need your hug, go laugh with your daughter. I won’t take care of her in the future either!"

"Oh come on, alright? Why are you getting more worked up as you speak? The child is just playing around with you!" Li Yifei poked Ning Xin’er’s cheek and said, "Yufei, hurry up and comfort Mom, or she’ll stop caring for you in the future."

Li Yufei’s eyes darted around; she tugged at Ning Xin’er’s clothes and said, "Mom, I’m sorry. I’ll read well from now on and won’t eat donuts."

Li Yifei couldn’t hold it in and laughed out loud, Ning Xin’er couldn’t keep a straight face either. She punched Li Yifei lightly and got out of his arms, her eyes still red but luckily not crying. She pressed her lips and said, "You coax her then, I’ll go work."

Li Yifei was more than happy to take on this task. The little daughter was still small and had a nanny to take care of her. Li Yifei took Li Yufei to have some fun, and when the little girl fell asleep, he held Li Yufei’s small hand and went to Chu Xiaoyao’s villa to chat for a while, and then wandered to the next villa.

After visiting each place once, Li Yufei suddenly cried out that she was bored and asked Dad to play games with her.

Li Yifei agreed and went back to the house to play games. Not long after, Li Yufei was bored and complained, "Silly Dad, you always lose. I don’t want to play with you anymore, it’s so boring."

"Uh..." Li Yifei wanted to say, is it that I’m silly? I was letting you win, wasn’t I? Otherwise, when can you win."

Though he thought so, he couldn’t say it out loud. Li Yufei was mumbling again, "Just like those silly kids in class, humph, boring."

"How are the kids in class silly?"

Li Yufei raised her index finger and gestured, saying, "Like Wang Xiao’er, he’s silly. We have a class every day to watch cartoons. When the time’s up, he still watches. The teacher doesn’t allow it, and he cries. In the end, they say to let him watch for ten more minutes, and Wang Xiao’er disagrees. Then the teacher says to let him watch for six hundred seconds, and Wang Xiao’er is overjoyed. Tell me, isn’t that silly?"

Uh... that is indeed silly, but for kids this age, being able to count to one hundred is already considered smart. Our daughter knows how to convert ten minutes to six hundred seconds, this is not just smart — she’s a little genius.

Before Li Yifei could respond, the little girl raised her second finger and said, "There’s also a guy named Zhang Goudan, he’s even sillier, a year older than me, and acts like a total goof every day. Once, the teacher was teaching us not to waste food, to save water, and eat every meal clean. She told us a story about how hard life was for her as a kid, how she was so thirsty while carrying soybeans to exchange for tofu on the road but couldn’t even get a sip of water. Then Zhang Goudan just asked the teacher, why didn’t you just drink your own milk?"

After finishing her story, Li Yufei looked at Li Yifei, shrugged her hands, and said helplessly, "Isn’t he dumb? Our teacher isn’t even married, where would she get the milk? Besides, her chest is so small, even if she had milk, she couldn’t get any."

Uh... Li Yifei felt a dizzy symbol over his head, thinking that his daughter knows way too much. Instantly, he imagined the teacher blushing red like an apple.

Li Yifei thought for a moment and earnestly said, "Haha... that was quite silly, but Yufei, in the future, don’t casually talk about this kind of thing. It’s not something you should say at your age."

To his surprise, his daughter gave him no attention and said sarcastically, "As if you’ve never done it before, you can do it, but I can’t talk about it."

With this one sentence, Li Yifei immediately realized a serious problem: he must never be affectionate with his wives in front of the children in the future; it would set a bad example. Even if he had to be affectionate, he needed to ensure the children wouldn’t suddenly appear. With more kids, he had to be even more careful.

For the first time, he realized that having many children is also a kind of trouble. But then again, having many wives, it’s a kind of happy trouble.

His face flushed red, Li Yifei wanted to escape from his daughter. The way this little girl talked always made him feel like he was speaking with an adult. Could she be a reincarnated soul? But when he turned around and saw Li Yufei engrossed in watching cartoons, he thought maybe his imagination was too wild.

Seeing Li Yifei remaining silent, the little girl continued, "And there’s Zhao Xiaohua, she’s really absent-minded. Her mom says every time she washes her face, she does it so irresponsibly. Even a lazy person would at least splash some water on their face and wipe it off. But Zhao Xiaohua, she turns on the tap, stares at it for a few seconds, then turns it off and walks away as if she had finished washing her face."

The kids in this kindergarten were all children of the Li family’s security guards, nannies, and staff. Li Yifei had set up the kindergarten with these thoughts in mind. Being a big family, they were bound to have many affiliates, and only when everyone benefits could they wholeheartedly support the Li family. That’s why the family’s hospital, kindergarten, and so on were open to them without any charge, allowing them to come to school or seek medical treatment and ensuring their children had more friends.

Unexpectedly, his daughter saw them this way.

As a father, Li Yifei found himself in a dilemma for the first time.

He thought of scolding his daughter but feared she might not handle it well, especially at such a young age. After some thought, he said, "Yufei, can I have a word with you?"

"Go ahead, it’s definitely to teach me not to give them nicknames and not to look down on them."

These words instantly stopped Li Yifei in his tracks; he couldn’t say anything else. Because what he had thought of saying was exactly those two things.

"I guessed it, didn’t I? I’m not looking down on them. The nicknames are mutually given; everyone has one. It’s to help us remember each other’s names. And these silly things... they can do them but I can’t talk about them? I wet the bed two days ago, too. Didn’t hide it from them!" Li Yufei said with a matter-of-fact look, making Li Yifei realize that his eldest daughter was, in fact, very clever, very intelligent indeed. Despite her young age, her words certainly didn’t reflect it.

Even talking about wetting the bed, she showed no embarrassment, as if it was perfectly normal.

Li Yifei pondered for a moment, nodded emphatically, agreeing with his daughter’s statement.

"Change the channel for me."

"Don’t you like watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf?"

Li Yufei pursed her lips and said, "I don’t like it. From the first episode, I knew that Grey Wolf would never catch a sheep in this lifetime."

"That’s true, but how did you know?" Li Yifei asked curiously.

Li Yufei glanced at Li Yifei and said, "After eating a sheep, what’s left to show?"

"Alright then..." Li Yifei wiped the nonexistent sweat off his forehead. After spending this much time with his daughter, he experienced firsthand her sass, silently thinking to himself—hats off to Ning Xin’er.

While Li Yifei was in thought, Li Yufei turned to him impatiently, waving her hand, and said, "Alright, you go do your own thing. Your heart isn’t with me anyway!"

Li Yifei felt a bit like he fled in haste. How old is this kid, and already so... snarky? Who did she inherit this characteristic from? Li Yifei thought to himself that his own words weren’t sharp, and Ning Xin’er was so gentle without this trait.

Could it be inherited from Xu Shanshan? Or Chu Xiaoyao?

With a deep breath, he instructed the nanny to take good care of Li Yufei and left the villa.
