Chapter 797 Praising His Woman
**************
CHAPTER 797
Ye Cheng and Li Jing had dressed for the party, sharing a steamy shower together before making their way downstairs to join the others at the event site.
Yin Lifen, eager to avoid any delays caused by Li Jing, hurried towards the haunted house, accompanied by Jia Huang. However, their path was interrupted when Jia Huang discussed with a friend and Yin Lifen proceeded alone only to have her attention drawn by the sound of voices nearby.
Curiousity getting the better of her, Yin Lifen discreetly approached, overhearing a conversation between two individuals, Andromeda and Liu Xueyi. The topic at hand was Ye Cheng and his wife, Li Jing, capturing their attention and causing them to momentarily freeze in place.
"Have you met Ye Cheng before?" Andromeda inquired, leaning closer to Liu Xueyi.
"I have, once though. I'm not sure if he remembers me," Liu Xueyi replied, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"I heard his wife, Li Jing, is truly a beauty," Andromeda added, her voice tinged with a hint of admiration. ????????????????????????????????.????????????
"She is. However, I must say, my baby's beauty outmatches all others," Liu Xueyi responded, a touch of pride evident in his voice.
Andromeda clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth, smirking. "I bet if he hears you say that, Ye Cheng would not smile."
"I couldn't agree more."
Liu Xueyi and Andromeda froze where they stood.
They had been engrossed in their conversation while making their way towards the haunted house and failed to notice someone had eavesdropped on their conversation.
As if on cue, both of them turned around to see who spoke.
A beautiful young lady stood behind them, with a hand on her waist and the other holding her small cross-chain bag.
"Huh..." Andromeda paused, taking a glance at her appearance and face, trying to see if she knew her from anywhere.
Seeing as things were getting awkward between them, Liu Xueyi was tempted to break the silence and clarify any potential misunderstandings.
Just as he was about to speak, a voice called out from behind them, cutting through the stillness. "Yifen!"
Liu Xueyi and Andromeda turned simultaneously to see a man running towards them, his hurried steps coming to an abrupt halt as he reached the young lady who had been eavesdropping.
With a subtle shake of her head and a slight pursing of her lips, the young man responded, "Fen-Fen, I told you to wait up, but you left."
"Fen-Fen?" Liu Xueyi raised an eyebrow, perplexed.
The young lady nodded in acknowledgement, her gaze returning to Liu Xueyi. "Yes."
Confusion clouded the newcomer's expression as he glanced between the trio before him. "Huh, what's going on?"
"Someone said my friend wasn't as beautiful as his woman," she declared, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"Someone is dissing my chick, Aiden," she added, her tone filled with a protective edge.
Aiden straightened, his understanding of Yin Lifen's overprotective nature kicking in. He knew that when it came to Li Jing, she became like a fox ready to pounce on anyone who dared to speak ill of her.
Aiden took a step forward, seeking to diffuse the tension. "My apologies. This is how she gets when it comes to Li Jing."
Andromeda's eyes widened as realization dawned on her. She stole a quick glance at Liu Xueyi, who had remained silent thus far. A silent communication passed between them, and Andromeda turned her head, tugging gently on Liu Xueyi's shirt.
"She knows Li Jing."
"Of course, she is my best friend," Yin Lifen informed her with pride written all over her face.
More than anyone, she was proud that her friend was famous and she could brag about her, especially considering how life was for Li Jing before. It was only after meeting Ye Cheng that everything changed—for both of them.
"My name is Andromeda. Andromeda Kai. What's yours?"
"Yin Lifen and he is Aiden, my fiancé," Yin Lifen introduced. "And I guess he is Liu Xueyi."

For a moment, Andromeda was taken aback by the realization that Yin Lifen knew Liu Xueyi. Although they owned a famous clothing brand, Andromeda had not expected this connection.
"Do not be surprised that I know this handsome." Yin Lifen mused, taking the words straight from Andromeda's lips.
Yin Lifen, seemingly reading Andromeda's mind, responded with a knowing smile. "Actually, I recognized him and thought to check when I heard him diss my friend."
Liu Xueyi raised an eyebrow, addressing Yin Lifen. "You're still on with that?"
Yin Lifen remained resolute. "Yes."
"Urgh, let it go, Fen-Fen. He has all the right to say what he wishes. It is a free world," Aiden stated as a matter of factly.
"And I have the right to be angry," Yin Lifen interjected.
"And so do I," Andromeda said, taking another step forward. This was her man they were talking about, and she would not allow Yin Lifen to pick a fight with her.
Usually, she was reserved but when it came to the people she loved, she became a Raven, vixen, a sharp-clawed lioness, ready to defend herself.
Liu Xueyi, understanding Andromeda's fiery nature, smiled and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. From his perspective, he could see that Yin Lifen was the one courting trouble, and as Yin Lifen realized Andromeda was not ready to be a pushover, she backed down.
'Always making me proud,' Liu Xueyi thought to himself. "It is alright, love. I am good. She wouldn't try anything. No need to be protective, hmm."
He pressed a tender kiss to the side of Andromeda's cheek, causing her to blush at the unexpected display of affection. They may have had their issues the day before, but now, they presented themselves as a loving couple, unaware of the challenges that still lay ahead.
"Hmm, public display of affection," Yin Lifen teased.
"Is someone jealous?" Andromeda asked playfully. She restrained her smile, stepping back to hold onto Liu Xueyi's arm.
"No. Now I see why he would say his babe is the most…" Yin Lifen began.
"Let it rest, darling. Stop causing trouble," Aiden interjected, sensing Yin Lifen's mischief.
