Here is the translated text:

After being affectionate for a while, Xu Shanshan parted from Li Yifei, flashed him a sweet smile, and said, "Brother-in-law, suddenly I don’t want to give up my role as the younger sister-in-law."

"Why?" Li Yifei’s eyes widened instantly.

Xu Shanshan chuckled lightly and said, "Now I feel Meng Xiaofei is really smart. She refuses to admit she’s your woman, so she can sneak some time with you occasionally without anyone saying anything. But if she did admit, then she would have to join the rotating schedule. Same goes for me now. My sister finally gave her approval, so I also get to experience the real taste of romance."

Li Yifei quickly caught Xu Shanshan’s train of thought and laughed, "Alright, then we won’t announce it now. We can just date like normal."

Xu Shanshan stretched out her arms and said relaxedly, "Hmm, that’s perfect. I need to reclaim everything I’ve missed. Not having to sneak around anymore feels great."

Li Yifei was in incredibly high spirits today. First, Jiang Ningxiang agreed to keep the baby, and then Xu Shanshan’s matter was finally solved. Although dealing with Xu Shanshan’s parents would still be tough, the biggest worry for Li Yifei was Xu Yingying’s attitude within the Li family. If this could be resolved, everything else would be minor issues.

Back at his villa, everyone was still busy discussing wedding dresses when Li Yifei walked in. As soon as he entered, all eyes turned toward him.

Li Yifei pretended not to notice but couldn’t hide the cheerful expression on his face. He announced, "I have an important piece of news to share—Ningxiang has decided to have the baby."

The group initially intended to tease Li Yifei, but upon hearing the news, they cheered enthusiastically.

Li Yifei waved his hand and said, "But Ningxiang still feels pressured, so for now, we need to publicly announce that she had a miscarriage. Apart from us, no one should know that she’s still pregnant. This way, Ningxiang won’t feel so stressed. I hope everyone can cooperate."

Everyone found the idea rather unique, but given Jiang Ningxiang’s peculiar nature, they quickly understood. Since Ningxiang decided to have the child, it was wonderful news, and everyone was genuinely happy for her.

"Husband, there’s another good piece of news to share with you!" Xiao Ling’er, who had been holding back, couldn’t wait any longer. As soon as Li Yifei finished speaking, she blurted it out.

"What good news? Seems like today is a lucky day!" Li Yifei smiled and sat beside Su Mengxin, choosing her company deliberately since Mengxin knew about his and Xu Shanshan’s relationship. Sitting next to her could allow Mengxin to signal him if something went wrong.

Zheng Yuling chuckled and said, "We’ve found you another girl."

Li Yifei’s eyes went wide and said, "Don’t mess around! Noah’s Ark sent so many people here, and I didn’t take even one. What’s this about finding someone for me again? Stop teasing me."

Su Yiyi grinned, saying, "It’s true."

"Really?" Li Yifei pretended to be shocked.

Ning Xin’er giggled and said, "Yep, and this time, you’ll definitely agree."

"Ah, I know! You mean Meng Xiaofei, right? Xiaofei, this time you can’t escape!"

Meng Xiaofei, who had been laughing on the sidelines, immediately stood up in alarm when Li Yifei suddenly mentioned her. She panicked, "No, no! It’s not me."

Seeing Meng Xiaofei’s exaggerated reaction, everyone froze for a moment before bursting into laughter. The conversation quickly shifted to Meng Xiaofei. Li Xinyue teased, "Xiaofei, even though we weren’t talking about you earlier, shouldn’t you join us soon? Stop being special."

Meng Xiaofei frantically waved her hands, saying, "I’m not, I’m not! Don’t misinterpret. I’m just Brother Li’s sister—a sister! Okay, I’m tired, I’m going to sleep now." With that, she bolted out like a rabbit, disappearing from the room in an instant. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Everyone exchanged looks and then burst into laughter. Meng Xiaofei was truly amusing. Despite the clear signs, she kept insisting and refused to admit anything.

"Husband, see? Even if you want to win Xiaofei over, you’ve got to use some strategy. You scared her away again. But we’ve got you another option—this one won’t run away," Xiao Ling’er winked at Li Yifei.

"Good grief, what are you all plotting?"

Xu Yingying shot him a glance and said, "I’ve decided to let Shanshan be with you. Don’t tell me you don’t want her."

"Huh?" Li Yifei’s eyes widened, half in deliberate surprise, half out of genuine bewilderment. Xu Yingying’s assertiveness caught him off guard.

"So? This girl good enough for you?" Ye Yunzhu asked as she winked at Li Yifei.

"Um... Yingying, can we not joke about this?" Li Yifei had barely finished his sentence when he felt a sharp pinch on his side. Out of the corner of his eye, he glimpsed Su Mengxin’s playful smile.

Li Yifei held Mengxin’s hand tightly, sharing a silent understanding only they could grasp.

Xu Yingying said seriously, "I’m not joking. I’ve been going over this for a long time. The connection Shanshan and I share makes it impossible for her to pair with another guy. If she did, it would feel like you’re being cuckolded."

Lin Qiong chimed in, "Exactly! Shanshan is such a great girl, and her relationship with you has always been so close. Accepting her is only natural for you."

Li Yifei laughed awkwardly, saying, "Um... can we not joke about this?"

Xu Yingying gave him a stern look and said, "Who’s joking? Let me ask you just one thing—do you like Shanshan?"

Li Yifei coughed and said, "I do like her, but... not the way you’re thinking."

"Liking her is enough. We’ve all discussed this and made a decision. If you can’t properly win Shanshan over, none of us will let you off the hook."

Li Yifei never imagined Xu Yingying would handle things this way and said, "Yingying, is this something that can be forced?"

"I can’t force others, but I can force Shanshan. This is the mission we’ve given you—if you fail, we won’t take turns anymore. You can sleep alone every night."

"Right! You sleep alone!" Everyone said in unison.

Li Yifei was both amused and exasperated. How did things turn out like this? He could only go along and say, "Alright, alright, I’ll go coax Shanshan. Happy now?"

Su Mengxin pinched Li Yifei again but gripped his hand tightly afterward. She was genuinely happy for Xu Shanshan. Shanshan and Li Yifei had known each other for over two years and had feelings for nearly as long. The bottled-up emotions Shanshan had endured were something only she could truly comprehend. Su Mengxin understood to some extent, and now, at long last, the clouds had parted to reveal the moonlight.

During dinner, everyone gathered in the dining room. Xu Shanshan kept her head down, looking visibly embarrassed. On the other hand, Meng Xiaofei had already shrugged off the awkwardness of the afternoon; she grinned at Xu Shanshan and said, "Shanshan, you’re about to become my sister-in-law!"

Xu Shanshan lightly slapped Meng Xiaofei’s leg and retorted, "Don’t talk nonsense."

Meng Xiaofei laughed, "It’s already decided. Even if you oppose it, it won’t change anything."

Xu Shanshan snorted, glanced at Li Yifei, and said, "Even so, it depends on how Brother-in-law performs. If he doesn’t do well, I won’t agree."

Meng Xiaofei immediately said, "No problem! Brother Li is a master at wooing women—especially getting them into bed."

Everyone burst out laughing.

Xiao Ling’er cheerfully chimed in, "Xiaofei, we’ve also decided on you."

Meng Xiaofei didn’t run this time; she scratched her head and said, "Well... you guys can decide whatever you want. I’m not done having fun yet. We’ll talk when I’ve had enough."

However, during dinner, nobody brought up Jiang Ningxiang’s situation. After all, there were still some household staff standing by.

After dinner, everyone gathered again to discuss Jiang Ningxiang’s matter. The next day, news was released claiming that Jiang Ningxiang had lost the baby. Over the following days, Jiang Ningxiang underwent a "miscarriage procedure" and stayed at her villa to rest, with the kitchen specially preparing nourishing foods for her.

This convinced the household staff that Jiang Ningxiang had indeed lost her child.

Everyone found it odd. Normally, when a Li family wife became pregnant, it was cause for celebration. But Jiang Ningxiang’s pregnancy ended so quickly, making it a uniquely puzzling case for the Li family. Although curious, the servants wouldn’t dare ask questions about Li Yifei’s private affairs—they simply accepted that Jiang Ningxiang had miscarried.

This carefully crafted charade did lift Jiang Ningxiang’s spirits significantly. The voice in her mind urging her not to keep the baby grew fainter, and when Li Yifei was with her, her face often radiated happiness and contentment.

This showed that Jiang Ningxiang truly wanted the baby. It was her mental stress that had made her hesitant. With that stress alleviated, she returned to normal.

This made Li Yifei very excited but also extremely cautious. He couldn’t afford a repeat of past mistakes. To protect Jiang Ningxiang and her pregnancy, only his wives knew about it; nobody else had a clue.

That day, Li Yifei received a phone call from an unfamiliar number. When he answered, a man’s raspy voice said, "I have your son."
