Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1293 - 1343: Is Jiang Ningxiang Pregnant?
Chapter 1293: Chapter 1343: Is Jiang Ningxiang Pregnant?
Li Yifei returned to Mile City. Although Zhou Xiaoyue’s matter brought him some trouble, since it wasn’t very urgent, there was no need to deal with it in a hurry. After all, Zhou Xiaoyue was still young; in a few years, who could guarantee what she would think? Perhaps by then, she might have met someone she liked.
So he decided not to bring this up to Ye Yunzhu. Otherwise, if Ye Yunzhu treated it as a major issue and proactively spoke to Zhou Xiaoyue, it might trigger Zhou Xiaoyue’s rebellious feelings, making the situation even harder to handle.
In the morning, Li Yifei kept up his habit of training the household guards. With his greatly improved martial prowess, his insights and ability to offer guidance had also increased significantly, speeding up the progress of his subordinates.
However, today, these guys were clearly distracted during practice, casting furtive glances at a fellow named Lin Qing.
And Lin Qing seemed elated, as though some great fortune had befallen him.
"Hey, what’s going on with you all? Lin Qing, explain," Li Yifei halted the training when he saw everyone was unfocused.
Lin Qing chuckled and said, "Thanks to the boss’s reward!"
Li Yifei paused in surprise. Sophia, standing beside him, whispered softly, "Lin Qing accumulated enough points yesterday and earned himself a woman as a reward."
Li Yifei immediately burst into laughter and said, "Lin Qing, you lucky guy! You’ve already received a reward, huh? I didn’t even know."
Lin Qing chuckled again, saying, "Boss, this reward is truly amazing. I’ve been with plenty of women over the years, but none can match her."
When Lin Qing said this, the household promptly gathered around, asking, "Lin Qing, spill it—does she have exceptional skills in bed?"
Lin Qing raised his head proudly and said, "Of course! It’s not just her skills in bed—her ability to take care of someone is beyond description. She can practically send your soul to heaven, tsk tsk."
"Really?"
"That amazing, huh?"
"C’mon, Lin Qing, tell us more!"
Lin Qing laughed boastfully, "If you want to know, then you better work hard to earn your own rewards. Once you’ve experienced it yourself, you’ll realize how wonderful it feels."
Lin Qing’s words only made everyone more eager. For these individuals, all of whom lived lives on the edge, women had always been seen as accessories or outlets for release. But judging by Lin Qing’s demeanor, it was clear he’d been completely captivated by this woman in just one night. Just how enchanting could such a woman be?
Seeing this happen, Li Yifei understood that such rewards successfully motivated loyalty among his men. However, he was equally concerned about the influence this kind of woman could wield.
"Lin Qing, come with me for a moment." Once the excitement in the group had settled down, Li Yifei pulled Lin Qing aside for a private talk.
"Boss!" Lin Qing stood opposite Li Yifei, looking at him with increasing gratitude in his eyes.
"Lin Qing, I need to remind you of something."
"Please go ahead, boss."
Li Yifei tossed a cigarette to Lin Qing. Lin Qing immediately lit one for Li Yifei before lighting his own.
"Are you feeling like this could be your future now?" Li Yifei asked with a smile.
"Yes! Having such a woman—I really couldn’t bear to let go now."
Li Yifei nodded and said, "I understand. When you meet someone you truly like, no matter how difficult the obstacles, you want to be with them. I also understand how much a woman can influence a man."
Lin Qing’s face displayed contentment. He took a drag on his cigarette and said, "Yes, I admit it. I couldn’t live without her now."
"Alright, let me make a request of you."
"Boss, say what you’re thinking!" Lin Qing immediately straightened his posture.
Li Yifei took two steps forward, and Lin Qing followed closely behind.
"If you can live well together with her, I’ll wish you both happiness. But if she starts negatively influencing you, then you need to take her and leave here. Do you understand me?"
Immediately, Lin Qing’s expression grew serious. He fiercely dragged on his cigarette before throwing the butt to the ground and stomping it out. Standing tall, he said to Li Yifei with conviction, "Boss, before, I didn’t believe a woman could have such influence on a man. Now, I know I was wrong. However, I’m also clear that I owe everything to you for bringing us together. I would never betray you, boss."
Li Yifei nodded, patting Lin Qing on the shoulder. "Loving a woman doesn’t mean obeying her every word. You need to mutually influence each other. Respect her, but it doesn’t mean you have to agree with her on everything. Ideally, she accepts your ideas and faces things with you—that’s what makes a successful man."
"Got it! I will definitely learn from you, Boss. If someone like Su Mengxin is willing to give up everything for you, then I’ll definitely make her give up her beliefs for me."
Li Yifei smiled faintly and said, "Alright then, you should also avoid keeping her isolated. Let her spend more time with the other women here—it’ll help influence her."
Lin Qing chuckled and said, "Understood."
After Lin Qing left, Sophia appeared behind Li Yifei, speaking softly. "Master, I’ll keep an eye on things. If anything like that starts brewing, I’ll handle it directly."
Li Yifei nodded and said, "If it ever comes to that, let them leave. They are still brothers who’ve been with me for some time."
"Got it!" Sophia replied firmly.
"Sophia, by the way, during my last trip to Japan when I fought a few ninjas, I noticed that some of their techniques were quite effective—they might suit you as well."
"Please guide me, Master." Sophia’s eyes immediately lit up.
During his battle with Inoue Aoga, Li Yifei had fought for quite some time—partly to lure out two others, but also to study the mysteries of their ninja techniques.
Though Li Yifei couldn’t fully grasp the most powerful methods employed by the ninjas, he managed to glean some insights into their ability to use the surrounding environment to conceal their movements.
Li Yifei had explored these skills in the past, but he couldn’t compare to the expertise ninjas possessed from specialized research in these areas. With his current heightened abilities, his understanding and intuition were significantly sharper, allowing him to infer more while fighting them.
Sophia, being a natural assassin, had remarkable comprehension skills for such techniques. She quickly grasped and effectively implemented what Li Yifei shared, which pleased him greatly. Sophia seemed born for this kind of skillset—in no time, she’d become a truly extraordinary shadow guardian.
After finishing his morning training, Li Yifei returned to his villa and took a shower. Meanwhile, Jiang Ningxiang and Su Yiyi, who had stayed there last night, had just gotten up.
Jiang Ningxiang had grown accustomed to living with everyone else, and her relationship with Su Yiyi had become particularly close. The two shared similar personalities—both low-key and hardworking without seeking attention or competing.
"Ningxiang, why are you waking up so late too?" Li Yifei asked with a cheerful smile as he saw Jiang Ningxiang and Su Yiyi. While Su Yiyi had recently developed True Qi, her strength was still weak, requiring the same amount of rest as an ordinary person. But as an Innate Expert, Jiang Ningxiang shouldn’t need so much sleep under normal circumstances.
"I don’t know. These past few days, I’ve been unusually sleepy—even during the daytime, I feel tired." Jiang Ningxiang answered softly.
Su Yiyi looked at Jiang Ningxiang and said, "Ningxiang, you might be pregnant!"
"Pregnant? Impossible, right?" Jiang Ningxiang’s eyes widened, showing a hint of panic.
"It’s very possible! You should get checked right away!" Su Yiyi said excitedly.
Stammering, Jiang Ningxiang asked, "But... but how could it be? Isn’t it supposed to be difficult to get pregnant?"
Su Yiyi smiled gently and replied, "Not at all! Sometimes it happens quickly."
"What should I do?" Jiang Ningxiang’s face went pale.
Li Yifei held Jiang Ningxiang’s hand, speaking softly, "Why are you so scared? Don’t you want to have my children?"
Jiang Ningxiang trembled slightly, then leaned softly against Li Yifei’s chest. "Husband, I’m still in school. I never thought about having kids—I’m completely unprepared for it."
Li Yifei chuckled lightly and said, "Then why didn’t you take precautions? You didn’t tell me, so I didn’t think about it either."
"But... but I saw that Sister Yingying hadn’t gotten pregnant for so long, and neither had Yiyi or the others. I thought getting pregnant wasn’t that easy."
Su Yiyi giggled and said, "Ningxiang, you’re so innocent! Pregnancy can happen easily—or not at all. But there’s no need to worry. If you are pregnant, you can just take a break from school. After you deliver the baby, you can go back to studying."
"Fine, but let’s get it checked first—what if it’s not pregnancy?"
After getting up, Li Yifei, Su Yiyi, and Jiang Ningxiang headed to the family clinic. It could practically be called a hospital, despite having few doctors. With the ability to handle most situations—Su Mengxin had even delivered her child there—it was well-equipped.
Pregnancy tests were straightforward, requiring only a test strip. When they saw the result, Su Yiyi and Li Yifei were thrilled. Jiang Ningxiang truly was pregnant.
However, Jiang Ningxiang wasn’t happy at all. The sudden pregnancy had left her anxious and tense, unsure of what to do.
Li Yifei and Su Yiyi offered her gentle comfort, fully understanding her reaction.
