Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 435: Liu Yunerʼs Heart Fluttering

Ye Fei had no idea that his beloved mom had pretty much-sorted things out with Siqi for him. All he had to do now was make a move, and it would be as easy as pie. But at the moment, he was feeling pretty down.

Ever since they left his momʼs office, Liu Yuner kept glancing at him. Her eyes held a meaning that even he couldnʼt quite figure out. And it didnʼt stop when they left the Liu Corporation building and hit the streets.

This guy couldnʼt be... could he? Ye Fei thought with a bit of mischief. He reckoned his guess made a lot of sense. Why else wouldnʼt Liu Yuner show any disappointment at being turned down by a beauty like his sister? And why did he seem so interested in him?

”Youʼre really good to your sister!” Just as Ye Fei couldnʼt take Liu Yunerʼs strange looks anymore and was about to say something, Liu Yuner spoke up first, her voice filled with envy.

To be honest, at first, Liu Yuner didnʼt really have any feelings for Ye Fei. He was, without a doubt, the most handsome guy sheʼd ever seen, and his abilities were beyond question, as evidenced by her extremely strict fatherʼs constant praise.

But he was just too young. Liu Yuner remembered the first time she saw him, he was just a crying baby.

Even though she wasnʼt much older back then, it felt weird and she couldnʼt possibly feel anything more than familial affection for him. Thatʼs why she immediately opposed the engagement when her mom mentioned it.

But everything changed when Ye Fei volunteered to accompany her. She could tell Ye Fei didnʼt like her, this sudden ”man” with an engagement, one bit. But he did it for his sister. That was something Liu Yuner never expected.

When it came to her criteria for a partner, Liu Yuner was quite particular. She wanted a real man, someone who could stand tall and proud, but not a ruthless tycoon who would sacrifice everything for his career.

Over the years, she hadnʼt met a single person who fit the bill. It wasnʼt bad luck; such people were just hard to find.

A good man who cared about his family and had emotions was unlikely to achieve much in this world because he wouldnʼt be heartless enough to do whatever it took. So even though Liu Yuner had met plenty of so-called talented young men through her father, she had never had a boyfriend, growing up in the sexually liberated United States.

Liu Tianlin, though he had left the Lingyun Group, still had deep feelings for it. He kept an eye on what was happening within the group and got insider information. As his capable assistant, Liu Yuner naturally had to look into some of it too. So before she came to Wang Hai City, she already knew about Ye Fei, including how he killed Ye Yu to rise to power and quickly annexed other gangs in the city afterward.

Since she didnʼt fully understand the ins and outs, in Liu Yunerʼs mind, Ye Fei became the kind of person she disliked the most—someone who would sacrifice everything for gain.

Thatʼs why, even though she respected him for her fatherʼs sake when they met today, she didnʼt think much of him.

What Liu Yuner never expected was that Ye Fei would go out of his way to help his sister get rid of her, ”annoying” person. She hadnʼt come just for fun. Her father, aware of the Lingyun Groupʼs significant progress, wanted to help it grow even more.

So he sent her back. If the group had her fatherʼs support, establishing a strong foothold in the United States would be a piece of cake. Ye Fei, being a shrewd leader, couldnʼt have missed that. He didnʼt even think twice about it and let go of such an attractive opportunity, all for his sister.

Liu Yuner could tell it wasnʼt an act; it was a genuine care for his sister. This not only made Liu Yuner envy Ye Siqi but also completely changed her impression of Ye Fei.

Ye Fei, of course, had no idea what was going on in Liu Yunerʼs head. Hearing her words, he frowned slightly and asked, ”What do you mean?”

Ever since her view of Ye Fei changed, she found him more and more likable. And Ye Fei was the kind of guy any woman would be attracted to. So just a simple frown from him made Liu Yunerʼs heart race a bit. She shifted her body slightly and said, ”Itʼs nothing, really. I just envy your sister a little.”

Liu Yunerʼs little movement sent a chill down Ye Feiʼs spine. He thought to himself, Could this guy be...? But for Liu Tianlinʼs sake, he couldnʼt just leave him there. He casually replied, ”What? Does your brother not treat you well?”

”Iʼm the only... uh, child in the family. Where would a brother come from?” Liu Yuner almost slipped up and quickly stuck her tongue out, feeling a bit silly. Suddenly, she thought it was kind of fun to interact with him as a guy.

Ye Feiʼs powers of observation were incredible. There was no way Liu Yunerʼs tongue-sticking-out move could go unnoticed. This only confirmed his suspicion that the guy in front of him was indeed... He didnʼt feel threatened by him, but having someone like that around was just uncomfortable.

So he suggested, ”How about we head over to the Lingyun Groupʼs headquarters? Uncle Liu is an old-timer in the gang. Since youʼre here, Liu Tianlin, you should check it out.”

He thought to himself, Grandpa Zhang, sorry about this. Dead friend before the poor monk. Iʼll leave this guy to you! Hopefully, with your age, he wonʼt take any interest in you!

But Liu Yuner had no intention of going there.

Although Ye Feiʼs reasoning made sense, there would be some of her fatherʼs old friends there.

Whoʼs to say one of them wouldnʼt recognize her true identity? She was having too much fun pretending to be a guy to risk being exposed.

Moreover, after she changed her perception of Ye Fei, she no longer disliked the idea of verbal engagement. So naturally, she wanted to spend more time with him.
