Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2023 - 2086: Returning Home with My Child
"Sister Yanzi, aren’t you coming with us?" two girls asked.
The Saintess shook her head and said, "No, I have my own things to do. Maybe another time."
"Oh, thank you, Sister Yanzi. If we have the chance to visit the United States again, can we invite you for a meal?"
"Sure, if I have time, I can go shopping with you!" the Saintess agreed.
The two girls were immediately encouraged and nodded vigorously. They held great fantasies about the identity of the Saintess since she had walked over to the uncle and chatted with him before he and the soldier had their confrontation. Could her identity be simple? She might even be a master, they thought, though such a master would blush when spanked.
They all went out together and soon reached the airport. During security check, Li Yifei took the child, placed him in a stroller, and he only had a small suitcase, which was already checked in. The Saintess bought some food for the two girls to take on the plane.
"Say goodbye to your Yanzi Mama," Li Yifei said as he picked up the child and waved the little hand towards the Saintess before the security check. The term ’Yanzi Mama’ made the Saintess’s heart race. She bit her lips, suppressing her reluctance, leaned over, kissed the child’s tender cheek, and said, "Goodbye, I’ll miss you."
In her heart, she added, my little son.
Watching Li Yifei and the two girls pass through security and head to the waiting lounge, the Saintess’s expression gradually calmed, yet she didn’t leave. Instead, she stood there for a long time, as if she could see the child and Li Yifei through all the barriers.
Li Yifei and the two girls waited for over an hour, and surprisingly, the plane departed on time, flying back to the country. Meanwhile, Su Mengxin, accompanied by Xu Shanshan and Chu Xiaoyao, flew to Haicheng, known as the magical city, waiting for the return of Li Yifei and the child.
Several hours later, the plane smoothly landed at Haicheng Airport. Li Yifei carried the child and, along with the two girls, got off the plane. The child behaved well throughout the journey, drinking milk a few times and sleeping most of the time. When awake, he didn’t fuss, either looking around with big eyes or playing with a jade pendant given by the Saintess.
The two girls had basically figured out the relationship between Sister Yanzi and Li Yifei. It wasn’t quite like a mistress, more like a period of ambiguity? But what about the child? How did he go to the United States, and where was his mother?
The two girls, knowing their place, didn’t ask further. After all, the uncle now wasn’t the same uncle they met a few days ago; he was a great hero who had done an incredible deed. The battle that happened hours ago was still vivid in their memories and would probably stay that way for a lifetime.
Such a battle was beyond ordinary comprehension, the kind you would only see in movies.
It was wise not to ask unnecessary questions. The two girls were not the kind of people who didn’t know their limits. Their mindset hadn’t changed; they were interested in Li Yifei before, so they hosted him, and it was the same now. They were only more aware of the gap between them and didn’t have any ridiculous ideas.
As the two girls followed Li Yifei out of the airport, all their previous assumptions shattered at the exit. They saw several incredibly beautiful women eagerly waving at Li Yifei, the most beautiful one covering her mouth with eyes filled with tears that were falling like rain. Li Yifei, holding the child, quickly walked over.
"Husband!" several women shouted together. The word struck everyone picking up passengers and leaving the station as if hit by a heavy hammer. What was happening? How could several beauties call one man a husband? Wow, this guy was so lucky.
Everyone turned to look at them, and the two girls behind them were dumbfounded as well. They thought the crying woman was the uncle’s wife, given she saw the child. But why was the little beauty beside her also calling him husband? Oh, the more spirited beautiful sister didn’t yell. Wait, did she call him brother-in-law or old brother-in-law? The two girls felt confused.
Could the uncle be a womanizer with many wives? And the wives were getting along so well? Liang Wei and Yi Mei’er exchanged a glance, both puzzled.
Su Mengxin reached out and took the child, looking at him. Yes, this was her child. When he left, he was so little, and now he had grown so much.
"Honey, I’ve brought the child back." Li Yifei said, holding Su Mengxin’s waist, worried she might be too emotional.
Su Mengxin nodded vigorously, bit her lips, and pressed her face to the child’s, feeling the warmth of the child in her arms. This reality was something countless dreams couldn’t fulfill, something she’d been longing for day and night. Now she finally had it.
With the child in her arms, her heart was at peace.
Li Yifei pinched Chu Xiaoyao’s cheek, the little girl also very excited, and on the other side, Xu Shanshan couldn’t contain her excitement either.
"Thank you, husband!" Su Mengxin took a deep breath to slightly calm her emotions.
"Silly girl, what are you saying? Let’s go, we should head out now." Li Yifei grabbed the luggage, held Su Mengxin’s waist, and after taking a few steps, remembered the two girls, stopping to look back at them, and asked, "Are you going home, or..."
"Uh, we, our family should be here to pick us up." Liang Wei said, snapping back to reality.
Just then, Yi Mei’er pointed outside and shouted, "Vivian, my dad and your dad are here together."
Following her direction, they saw a group of people entering from outside, with two middle-aged men among them. They spotted Li Yifei’s group and walked over with joy.
"Dad!" the two girls dropped their suitcases and ran over, throwing themselves into the arms of the two men. After the perilous experience, they couldn’t help but cry, but stopped after a while.
The two middle-aged men walked over, looking at Li Yifei with gratitude. Liang Zicheng and Yi Long shook hands with him, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Li. If it weren’t for your help, we would be worried sick."
"Haha, you’ve said thank you enough. As long as you’re safe." Li Yifei replied.
"Mr. Li, if you’re not in a hurry, may we invite you to stay in Haicheng for a few days? Our families would like to thank you and your wife," Yi Long suggested.
Li Yifei glanced at Su Mengxin and saw the women weren’t planning to linger here, so he said, "No, thanks. We’ll stay one night and head back to Ning Province tomorrow."
Liang Zicheng and Yi Long exchanged a look. Liang Zicheng then said, "In that case, let us arrange accommodation for you tonight, and we will treat you to dinner. Please don’t refuse; otherwise, Yi Long and I would feel uneasy. How can we let our benefactor cover their own dinner in our city?"
"Alright then." Li Yifei nodded. Since Su Mengxin and the others hadn’t left the airport after landing and hadn’t arranged for accommodation, having someone take care of it was a relief. Besides, Li Yifei didn’t consider it a significant favor, given that he risked his life to save their women, which was the real favor here.
The group left the airport, getting into cars arranged by the two families, four in total. Aside from the one for bodyguards, the Li family took a business car, accompanied by the two girls who, now in Haicheng and having met their fathers, were in much better spirits and spoke about the city along the way.
In the other car, Yi Long and Liang Zicheng exchanged a glance, saying, "I don’t recall such a figure in Ning Province."
"Me neither. I’ve been to Ning Province a few times and know a few people. Should I ask around?"
"No, knowing such a person is already fortunate. Since he doesn’t want to say, there’s no need for us to inquire." Yi Long shook his head.
"They went too far this time. If it weren’t for Mr. Li being there by chance, we would be in a passive situation now," Liang Zicheng sighed.
Yi Long slowly nodded, a shadow passing through his eyes and his expression turning gloomy before continuing, "I thought it was nothing serious, so when Mei’er wanted to go back to school a few days ago, I agreed. Who knew they’d pull something like this."
"Haha, now that there’s no danger, we mustn’t give in." Liang Zicheng said.
Yi Long replied, "Indeed, we’ve come this far. Giving in would mean all previous efforts were in vain."
At the Intercontinental Hotel in Haicheng, known for its high standards, one could overlook the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Huangpu River from the window. The scenery was great, and the Li family stayed in the best room on the top floor, all arranged by Yi Long and Liang Zicheng. They wanted the family to relax, promising later to treat them to a meal.
All the way, Su Mengxin was in a state of silly happiness. Having her child back, she’d already called Old Master Su yesterday, who was thrilled and told her to bring the child to visit in a few days. After reaching the hotel, Su Mengxin called Old Master Su again, informing him they had received the child.
Listening to her son say something like "mama," Su Mengxin felt like crying but held back, knowing the child’s return was a joyous event, not one for tears.
"Honey, is the child hungry?" Seeing the child sucking his fingers, Su Mengxin remembered, turning to ask Li Yifei. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"Uh, he might be hungry!" Li Yifei replied after calculating the time.
Then they saw Su Mengxin instinctively lift her shirt halfway before her actions froze, lowering it after a few seconds. With a somewhat stiff expression, she turned to Li Yifei and said, "Honey, can you make a bottle of milk for the child?"
Her words carried an indescribable emotion, perhaps a bit of disappointment or sadness.
