Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 442: An Encounter in the Cell

The womanʼs words, though seemingly absurd, struck a chord with Ye Fei and instantly clarified everything for him. It was such a simple truth: he had the ability to make them happy, and they didnʼt mind sharing him.

That was all that mattered.

Why overthink it?

Only when everyone was together could they truly be happy.

As for Ye Xuan and Liu Yuner, they just didnʼt know him well enough yet. If he made them his women in truth, theyʼd likely end up like his mom and the others, encouraging him to be a bit of a playboy and never feeling jealous again.

Realizing this, Ye Fei felt extremely grateful to the woman. He wanted to thank her, but found that he didnʼt even have the strength to lift his head. His body swayed gently a few times before he collapsed onto the table, losing all consciousness.

Seeing Ye Fei finally unconscious, the woman let out a long sigh of relief. Her earlier words had been deliberate, aimed at making Ye Fei completely relax so that the full effect of the bottle of wine she had given him could take hold.

In truth, she despised men like Ye Fei who were unfaithful.

Thatʼs why she had accepted this mission. But she hadnʼt expected him to be so resilient.

A whole bottle of her specially brewed knockout wine hadnʼt been enough to take him down.

Not only did the reward for the mission fail to cover the cost of the ingredients for that bottle, but she also had to force herself to say those words. Had it not been for her sense of honor, she would have abandoned the task altogether.

Suppressing her disgust, the woman helped Ye Fei, who seemed utterly intoxicated, to his feet. She draped his arm over her shoulder and half-carried, half-supported him out of the bar, under the envious gazes of everyone present (the women envied her, the men envied Ye Fei). She led him to a secluded alleyway, where she handed the unconscious Ye Fei over to two people who had been waiting there.

Watching the two drive away with Ye Fei, the woman muttered to herself, ”This time, Iʼve really lost out. Not only did I fail to profit, but I also let that detestable man take advantage of me!”

But when she recalled the pained and tender expression on Ye Feiʼs face as he spoke of his regrets towards his women, she found him less detestable.

Allowing him to touch her body, which was so sensually concealed yet pure beneath, didnʼt seem quite as unbearable.

When Ye Fei regained consciousness again, he found himself in a place that looked very much like a prison cell. He deduced this from the thick, arm-sized steel bars surrounding the space. He then remembered what had happened before he passed out. It seemed that woman had been sent by some hostile force specifically to target him. He had been in a very confused state of mind and had fallen right into the trap.

However, Ye Fei didnʼt harbor any resentment towards the woman. In fact, he felt somewhat grateful to her. Her words had helped him untie the knots in his heart. Although he was now locked in an unknown cell, his mood was much lighter than when he had been on the streets of Near-sea City.

”Youʼre finally awake!” Just as Ye Fei was happy to have figured things out, a very pleasant voice came from the darkness beside him, letting him know he wasnʼt alone in this cell-like place.

It wasnʼt that Ye Feiʼs senses had diminished; he had just woken up from a coma and his mind was still a bit foggy.

Besides, he was so focused on being happy about his newfound clarity that he hadnʼt paid attention to his surroundings. Hearing the voice, he strained his eyes to look over and was stunned.

In the dimly lit corner, there was a doorway-like opening. Standing at that doorway was a woman, an incredibly beautiful woman.

She was not only stunningly beautiful but also gave Ye Fei a sense of familiarity. This feeling of familiarity made Ye Fei pause, because despite his excellent memory, he couldnʼt recall where he had seen her before. Yet, she felt undeniably familiar.

The woman seemed to share this feeling. Her gaze towards Ye Fei was filled with surprise and confusion, clearly puzzled as to why she felt familiar with this young man.

After a long while, Ye Fei finally asked, ”Who are you? Where is this place?”

”My name is Shui Ying. This is a prison cell!” The woman didnʼt hide anything and answered Ye Feiʼs question directly. She then asked, ”Why were you brought here?”

Ye Fei wasnʼt surprised, as he had already guessed it was a prison cell. He just didnʼt understand why the people who captured him would put him in the same cell with such a beautiful woman. So he asked, ”And why are you here?”

”Iʼve been in this cell for eighteen years,” Shui Ying sighed. ”But I donʼt understand why they brought in another person. Who are you, really?”

”My name is Ye Fei,” Ye Fei casually replied, but inside, he became more vigilant. He hadnʼt had time to think about it before, but now he realized that the people who captured him were probably no ordinary force. He had just had a disagreement with Liu Yuner, and that woman had approached him immediately afterward.

This meant they knew his whereabouts very well. Although the Lingyun Groupʼs influence in Near-sea City wasnʼt as strong as in Wang Hai City, they still controlled most of it. Yet, this group seemed to move freely in Near-sea City, making them a formidable rival.

Of course, there was another possibility: they had just randomly grabbed someone, and he happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He knew this was unlikely, but he couldnʼt rule it out entirely.

”What? You have the surname Ye? Where are you from?”

Hearing Ye Feiʼs name, Shui Ying seemed very excited. Her face, which hadnʼt shown much emotion when she mentioned her eighteen years in captivity, now flushed with an excited expression.

”I was captured in Near-sea City,” Ye Fei said, without revealing that he was from Wang Hai City. He didnʼt fully trust this woman named Shui Ying.

Who knew if she was planted here by the captors to pretend to be a fellow prisoner? She didnʼt seem like it, but there were always people in the world with incredible acting skills.

Although Ye Fei only mentioned that he was captured in Near-sea City, Shui Ying apparently assumed he was from there. Her face showed a mix of disappointment and relief, which puzzled Ye Fei.

”Do you know why they brought you here and locked you in this cell?”

After realizing Ye Fei wasnʼt from Wang Hai City, Shui Yingʼs expression returned to its indifferent state. She asked, genuinely curious why they had put this young man in the same cell as her.
