Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1300 - 1350: Unveiling Xu Shanshan’s Relationships

Since it was decided, Xu Yingying immediately called her mother. Her parents were incredibly excited about this news—they had been looking forward to this day for a long time. However, due to the circumstances in Li Yifei’s household, they couldn’t rush her too much. Now that Xu Yingying had taken the initiative to bring it up, it was nothing short of a pleasant surprise.

Nonetheless, Xu Yingying suggested that the wedding be held at her parents’ house and that the event should be low-key to avoid drawing too much attention.

Her parents didn’t object to this idea. After all, they were still working and hadn’t retired yet. Xu Yingying’s father was at least a cadre in the Public Security System, and if the wedding were too extravagant, it might create a bad impression. A simple gathering with family and friends would suffice.

The matter was settled, and everyone immediately had something they couldn’t wait to do—choosing a wedding dress. Several laptops were arranged on the coffee table as they whispered to each other and burst into joyful laughter from time to time.

Seeing all this, Li Yifei felt happy as well. It seemed he hadn’t done enough for them—the future required him to invest more care, otherwise, he wouldn’t deserve their unwavering loyalty to him.

Most people were happy, but there were two exceptions: Xu Shanshan and Jiang Ningxiang. Xu Shanshan pouted for a moment before turning and leaving, while Jiang Ningxiang sat there in a daze.

Li Yifei walked over, took Jiang Ningxiang’s hand, and said, "Ningxiang, let’s go for a walk."

Jiang Ningxiang’s body trembled slightly, then she smiled gently at Li Yifei and said, "Honey, help the sisters pick their wedding dresses. I’m fine."

Li Yifei smiled softly and said, "They won’t finish picking out the dresses in just a day or two. I’ll help them choose when they’ve narrowed it down later. If I started picking now, it would exhaust me completely."

Jiang Ningxiang finally followed Li Yifei out of the living room. Those inside glanced at them but didn’t follow. Jiang Ningxiang’s issue was something they couldn’t help with—they could only leave it to Li Yifei and Jiang Ningxiang to work it out themselves.

By now, it was late March, and the weather was no longer cold. On the lawn, amidst the yellow leaves, tender green grass had started to appear.

Li Yifei held Jiang Ningxiang’s hand and smiled as he said, "Spring is here! Look, the grass is sprouting. In a few days, the entire yard will turn green, and then flowers will bloom everywhere. Experiencing spring here for the first time must be truly wonderful."

Jiang Ningxiang glanced around and softly replied, "Yes, spring has come."

Li Yifei squeezed Jiang Ningxiang’s hand gently and said, "Spring signifies vibrant growth. The Li family will flourish, and my Little Ningxiang will become more beautiful than ever."

Jiang Ningxiang looked at Li Yifei, her lips trembling slightly, as though she wanted to say something.

"Anything you want to say, just tell me. No matter what it is, I’ll make it happen for you," Li Yifei said.

Jiang Ningxiang’s eyes reddened, and she leaned weakly against Li Yifei’s shoulder, whispering, "Honey, you’re so good to me. No one has ever treated me this way before—you’re the best I’ve ever had."

Li Yifei gently stroked Jiang Ningxiang’s hair and said tenderly, "Silly girl, you’re my wife. How could I not treat you well? Besides, you’re the mother of my son. If I don’t treat you well, won’t he hate me once he’s born?"

Jiang Ningxiang raised her head to look at Li Yifei, biting her lip, and said, "Honey, can you promise me something?"

Li Yifei immediately nodded firmly, saying, "Ningxiang, whatever you say, I’ll promise you."

Jiang Ningxiang bit her lip again and said, "Honey, could you not tell anyone about my pregnancy? Don’t tell anyone—not even the others in the house."

"This... You’ve decided to keep the baby?"

Jiang Ningxiang nodded vigorously and said, "I want to, but... Since some people already know about my pregnancy, let’s pretend we’re getting rid of the baby and let everyone think I’m not pregnant. Can we do that?"

Li Yifei paused for a moment but quickly nodded and said, "I understand. You’re trying to avoid the psychological pressure from others. Alright, we’ll put on this act."

"Thank you, honey," Jiang Ningxiang immediately flashed a radiant smile.

"Haha, my Little Ningxiang! You really want this baby—that makes me so happy. Come here, let your husband give you a kiss." Saying that, he kissed Jiang Ningxiang on the cheek.

Jiang Ningxiang quickly pushed Li Yifei away, nervously glancing around, and said, "Don’t let anyone see!"

"Don’t worry, don’t worry. By the way, about that voice in your head..."

"Well, no one’s brought it up in the past few days, so I feel a little better now. Plus, pretending to have a miscarriage might act as another mental cue to help me feel more secure."

"Alright, alright, we’ll do that."

Li Yifei couldn’t be happier, but then he noticed Xu Shanshan standing by a nearby tree. He quickly grabbed Jiang Ningxiang and walked over, saying, "Shanshan, Ningxiang has decided to keep the baby—I’m so thrilled!"

"Then congratulations," Xu Shanshan replied coolly.

"Shanshan, what’s wrong?" Li Yifei asked, noticing her evident lack of enthusiasm.

Xu Shanshan bit her lip and tugged on Li Yifei’s arm, saying, "Brother-in-law, come with me."

Jiang Ningxiang stuck out her tongue and said, "Brother-in-law, Master, you two go ahead. I’ll take a walk around the yard."

Li Yifei quickly replied, "Be careful." Then he followed Xu Shanshan to her villa.

The two went straight to Xu Shanshan’s bedroom, where she immediately locked the door and stared at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei sighed lightly, pulled Xu Shanshan into his arms, and said, "Shanshan, why don’t I tell your sister about this?"

Xu Shanshan snorted and said, "Do you dare?"

Li Yifei replied decisively, "Whether it’s sooner or later, it has to be done eventually—I’ll just say it."

But Xu Shanshan suddenly hugged Li Yifei tightly and said, "Brother-in-law, I really envy them. They’re all going to marry you, but I... I can’t. I really want to wear a wedding dress, and I really want to have a wedding with you."

"Then let’s do it!"

Xu Shanshan pushed Li Yifei away, glaring at him as she said, "You think it’s that easy? You want both daughters of our family to marry you? How would my parents handle that? What would the relatives think? My parents wouldn’t be able to hold their heads up, and if they really got upset over it, I’d be the one to blame. Besides, my sister wouldn’t easily accept it either."

Li Yifei sighed and said, "But seeing you so upset makes my heart ache too."

"Sigh, let’s just leave it for now. Don’t rush—I just get emotional sometimes, but it’ll pass. Brother-in-law, I want you to love me properly now."

Li Yifei had no reason to refuse and immediately embraced Xu Shanshan, tumbling onto the bed.

Xu Yingying was happily looking over wedding dress designs with everyone, enjoying herself. But suddenly, she felt something unusual in her body—a sensation she was all too familiar with. She immediately knew it was Xu Shanshan up to something, which left her feeling awkward, because whenever she felt this, her own reactions were always intense.

"Yingying, what’s wrong?" Ning Xin’er, sitting next to Xu Yingying, asked suspiciously.

Xu Yingying forced an awkward smile and said, "Nothing, I’ll go back to my room for a bit." Although everyone here knew about her unique psychic connection with Xu Shanshan, having this happen in broad daylight was still embarrassing for her. She couldn’t explain it.

Xiao Ling’er chuckled and said, "Yingying, judging by your expression, I’m sure Shanshan’s up to her usual mischief again."

Xu Yingying felt even more embarrassed after Xiao Ling’er called her out, but she soon accepted it. After all, this was the one area they were most candid about—every night, they would see each other’s moments with Li Yifei, so even the most private actions were no longer taboo. She smiled wryly and said, "Who knows what that girl’s up to—acting out even during the day!"

Su Mengxin’s face showed a sympathetic expression as she said, "We’re all here discussing wedding dresses, but Shanshan is all alone. You think she wouldn’t feel lost? Once in a while, venting isn’t necessarily a bad thing."

Ye Yunzhu agreed, saying, "Exactly. Shanshan is still by herself now. Watching all of us being so happy must make her feel uneasy inside."

Zheng Yuling quickly chimed in, "Then shouldn’t we set her up with a boyfriend? When we get the chance, we should see if there’s anyone suitable for Shanshan."

Su Mengxin shook her head and said, "That might be tough. If Shanshan finds a boyfriend, it would make Yingying quite uncomfortable as well."

Xu Yingying instantly felt awkward. This wasn’t the first time the topic had come up; it always ended inconclusively. She sighed and said, "Sigh, just thinking about it gives me a headache. I know Shanshan deserves her own happiness, but when I imagine her with another man, I just can’t accept it."

Su Mengxin glanced at Xu Yingying and said, "Yes, it’s really hard to accept. Your psychic connection is just too strange, especially since it involves... that. It profoundly affects both of you mentally."

"I have a suggestion—Yingying, please don’t get mad at me," Su Yiyi said softly.

"Yiyi, we’re sisters. Why would I do that? Just say it."

Su Yiyi hesitated for a moment before nervously saying, "Actually... when you’re with our husband, Sister Shanshan often feels like she’s... with him too. Over time, could this make her only able to accept our husband emotionally?"

Everyone suddenly turned their eyes to Xu Yingying, whose face froze. Her lips parted slightly, but she couldn’t utter a single word for a long time.
