Chapter 2429 - 2493: Are You Angry?
But it’s enough to deceive a young girl. Watching Aoki Reiko’s expectant eyes, Li Yifei first steadied his emotions and pointed out several unreasonable parts in the email and two key areas that the other party deliberately obscured. These are abnormal places.Aoki Reiko listened, smiled subtly, her face a bit shy, and explained, "Yifei, actually I had doubts about what you said, after all, when encountering such a thing, I couldn’t help but think about it. You see, in my later emails, I also sought verification, and he explained, moreover..."
At this point, Aoki Reiko paused and said understandingly, "He’s so busy with so many things. At that time, saving me might have been just a small matter, and so much time has passed, it’s understandable if he can’t remember clearly. Wouldn’t you agree, Yifei?"
"Agree, my ass," Li Yifei shouted in his heart. Even with a poor memory, such things would be clear, not to mention... Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said, "Saving someone is never a small matter. I can still remember the things that happened the first time we met."
"Yifei, I understand what you mean... but you are you. Perhaps Mr. Mu Fei wasn’t so sensitive to things back then. Moreover, liking him is a personal matter for me, only a few of you know about it. It’s normal if he doesn’t remember clearly."
Li Yifei started scratching his head. Should he admit that he is Mr. Mu Fei? Admitting would be easy, but what happens after the admission? Seeing Aoki Reiko’s state, such a passionate and devoted woman, what would her reaction be upon learning that he is Mr. Mu Fei?
This is a matter of character... Li Yifei sighed inwardly, looking at Aoki Reiko seeming alive, Li Yifei had no choice but to say, "You have a point, but you also need to see him in person, otherwise you can’t be sure whether it’s true or false."
Aoki Reiko was delighted to hear Li Yifei finally agree, and said happily, "Of course I have to meet him, but it will take one or two years. Nevertheless, I’m really looking forward to it; it’s the most anticipated event of my life."
Li Yifei’s mouth twitched upon hearing it; another one or two years? This silly girl... she’s right here, but Li Yifei couldn’t say it. He heard Aoki Reiko say, "But Mr. Mu Fei said he was masked back then, oh no, it was makeup... disguise, yes that’s the word, so he said he didn’t look like that in person!"
Li Yifei’s eyes twitched slightly, thinking this liar has some tricks. Looks like he has to deal with this matter thoroughly. Li Yifei originally thought Aoki Reiko came to talk about Aoki Group and Noah’s Ark, but he didn’t expect this issue to pop out.
If it were someone else, Li Yifei wouldn’t care if they were deceived to death, but it concerns Aoki Reiko, one of his few friends, especially as a friend of the opposite sex, he couldn’t ignore it. Moreover... he’s the real Mr. Mu Fei. If someone dares to impersonate him, Li Yifei must drag them out and teach them a harsh lesson, especially since the other party is suspected of deceiving Aoki Reiko’s emotions and even her body.
Watching Aoki Reiko’s happy appearance, Li Yifei made up his mind while sighing inwardly. This girl is indeed devoted; even after so long, she’s still so infatuated that just hearing Mr. Mu Fei’s name makes her lose much of her ability to think and become less vigilant.
"Yifei?" Aoki Reiko waved her hand in front of Li Yifei, seeing him a bit distracted and his face not looking quite right, she quickly asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Yifei snapped back to reality, shook his head and said, "I’m fine, Reiko. Any news about Mr. Mu Fei is good news, as a friend I’m happy for you. But this matter seems a bit odd to me, and I still want you to stay alert, be cautious, since the information in the email is really limited, especially you revealed a lot in your response email, you know what I mean?"
Aoki Reiko widened her eyes and stubbornly said, "I think Mr. Mu Fei wouldn’t lie to me."
You think Mr. Mu Fei wouldn’t lie to you? That’s what you think... but I’ve been deceiving you all along... Even Li Yifei was somewhat overwhelmed at this point. He memorized the other party’s email address, returned the phone to Aoki Reiko, and then said, "Reiko, I got the gist of this. I support you, but I still want to ask, were you so upset because of this matter before?"
Aoki Reiko hesitated for a few seconds before quietly affirming, "It’s because of this matter."
"Reiko, you really don’t need to be polite with me. If there’s something else, you can say it now, there’s no one else in the room, don’t worry!"
"Yifei, it is indeed because of this matter... the reason why I was like that is still because..."
"Because of what?" Li Yifei asked, almost bringing up the Aoki Group issue.
Aoki Reiko seemed more entangled, shook her head and said, "No... nothing, Yifei, you go rest now!"
"Reiko, don’t you consider me as a friend?" Li Yifei asked.
Aoki Reiko quickly replied, "Of course not, Yifei, you are my best male friend."
Specifically mentioning male friend... Li Yifei said, "Don’t worry, if Mr. Mu Fei is real, I’ll keep my distance, but we’ll still be friends, right?"
Aoki Reiko turned red, her cheeks flushing, eyebrows showing some urgency, and after a long while she said softly, "Yifei, if I find Mr. Mu Fei, you... you really won’t be mad?"
Me, angry? Li Yifei pondered upon hearing this, seemingly understanding a bit, and then heard Aoki Reiko say, "But hearing you say that just now makes me feel much more at ease. Thank you, Yifei."
"If the other party is indeed Mr. Mu Fei, your liking him is your unilateral matter. If he also likes you, and you both are suitable in all aspects, I’d undoubtedly bless you. But if the other party is fake... don’t blame me for dealing with him."
Aoki Reiko giggled and said, "Alright, I knew Yifei would support me. I’ll also observe him. After all, this relates to my lifelong commitment. If he’s fake, then I surely won’t pay him any more attention."
Li Yifei reached out and tousled Aoki Reiko’s hair, saying helplessly, "It’s good that you’re cautious about it. You know this is about your lifelong affair, if deceived, it would be heartbreaking."
Aoki Reiko giggled, stuck out her tongue, seemed a bit relaxed and said, "I know, but I have you guys. If I can’t be sure, I can let you help me determine it. Besides, this is just my wishful liking, the other party might not necessarily like me!"
Of course there’s affection, but really don’t want to... pondered Li Yifei.
Leaving Aoki Reiko’s place, Li Yifei didn’t hear her mention the group affairs. It seemed she might still be unaware, or Aoki Ryota hadn’t told her, so he temporarily set it aside, returning to his room where the maiden smiled knowingly at him without asking.
Li Yifei scratched his head, his expression a bit odd, sat beside the maiden, wincing slightly.
The maiden raised an eyebrow, Li Yifei then said, "That girl didn’t mention Noah’s Ark, seems she doesn’t know."
"Then her state today..."
"It was about another matter!" Li Yifei recounted the earlier events. The maiden blinked twice, unable to comprehend, and after a while said, "You mean... someone’s impersonating you?"
"Yes!" Li Yifei affirmed, since the maiden knew about his past with Aoki Reiko, he didn’t hide it.
The maiden was taken aback, saying, "This really is... in your Huaxia words, it’s like Li Kui meeting Li Gui?"
"No, it’s Li Gui meeting Li Kui, Li Kui’s the real one." Li Yifei corrected.
The maiden couldn’t help but laugh, rubbing her face, saying, "So what do you intend?"
"I certainly want to find this person, regardless of who they are, I’m going to deal with them. Deceiving others might be tolerated, but deceiving my friend, impersonating others might be ignored, but impersonating me is intolerable. If Aoki Reiko gets deceived, it would count as my wrongdoing."
"What’s your plan then?"
"I memorized the email, tracking it will yield clues. Hmm, the person might be cautious, but traces will always be found." Li Yifei confidently said.
The maiden nodded, agreeing, "This plan might work, but act quickly to prevent the other party from succeeding."
"Succeed my ass, I want to find them right now," Li Yifei said indignantly.
The maiden held his hand, comforting, "This matter isn’t urgent, but husband, I truly wonder why you don’t directly reveal your identity. With your ability, revealing your identity would let Aoki Reiko know who’s true and who’s false!"
"You’re trying to trick me, aren’t you."
"Haha, no way, just curious. I originally guessed Aoki Reiko was an ordinary girl, but after meeting her, found she’s a great beauty, perfectly suitable to bring home. Though she’s Japanese, it shouldn’t affect family relations—should it?"
"Not impossible, but... with you all, I’m already content. Especially in the past year, I’ve realized more. Sometimes I want to quietly stay home and accompany you, yet find no time, or too little time. Spending an evening with each one might take half a month."
For the first time, the maiden heard such words from Li Yifei’s mouth, though not his first to express, the women in the family heard it too. Thus when Li Yifei goes out, family women seldom remind him not to rove outside.
Only he knows restraining and holding back will truly control oneself, otherwise, mere constraints are ineffective. The maiden felt she didn’t mishear, for Li Yifei indeed said it.
