Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 443: A Familiar Feeling

Of course, Shui Ying never suspected that Ye Fei had been sent by those people on purpose. It made no sense for them to send someone who had nothing to do with her. Besides, that guy wouldnʼt be foolish enough to use a ”pretty boy scheme” on her.

So, this young man was just an unrelated person. But precisely because of that, Shui Ying felt even more puzzled.

”No idea. Iʼm still confused, and I donʼt even know who captured me,” Ye Fei said, genuinely bewildered. No matter how smart he was, he couldnʼt figure out who had taken him.

If it were his enemies, why didnʼt they just kill him? They hadnʼt even bothered to ask him any questions.

And to think they locked him up with a super beauty who was no less stunning than his mom. This prisoner treatment was way too good.

”This is the dungeon of the Shuiyue Palace. Itʼs a hidden martial arts sect. Think about it. Do you have any connection with them?” Shui Ying asked.

Although this young man should have nothing to do with her, she still wanted to get to the bottom of things.

During the eighteen years she had been imprisoned here, she could only talk to the disciples who brought her food and some daily necessities.

So, having this young man to chat with was a nice change. But first, she had to figure out his background.

”Shuiyue Palace? Martial arts sect?” Ye Fei frowned slightly.

”Iʼm pretty well-versed in the affairs of the Martial Alliance, but Iʼve never heard of this sect.”

”You know the Martial Alliance?” Shui Ying was initially surprised, but then she understood.

Since Ye Fei had been captured by Shuiyue Palace, he must have some connection with the martial world. Knowing about the small Martial Alliance wasnʼt strange at all. She smiled faintly and said, ”Shuiyue Palace is a hidden sect. Itʼs not under the jurisdiction of the Martial Alliance.”

Although Shui Ying spoke indifferently, Ye Fei still noticed her disdain for the Martial Alliance.

This reminded him of the middle-aged couple by the Gu sistersʼ side.

Could it be that the force behind them had captured him? It seemed possible. But hadnʼt that couple revealed their strength to him?

Otherwise, they must be asking for trouble. Although they were a level above ordinary martial artists, Ye Fei still had absolute confidence in his own abilities.

Seeing Ye Fei in a thoughtful expression, as if he had figured something out, Shui Ying asked again, ”Have you figured out whatʼs going on?”

”I guess you could say that, but Iʼm not sure yet,” Ye Fei nodded first, then shook his head, and asked, ”By the way, do you know a girl named Gu Xuehan?”

Although he hadnʼt fully understood the situation with the Gu sisters, Ye Fei had guessed some things. Those two middle-aged people must be related to their mother.

”Gu Xuehan?” Shui Yingʼs delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she thought for a moment. ”I donʼt know her. I donʼt have the slightest impression.”

Donʼt know her? Ye Fei then remembered that Shui Ying had been imprisoned here for eighteen years. Gu Xuehan was the same age as him, which meant she hadnʼt been born yet when Shui Ying was locked up.

So he asked again, ”Is there any female disciple in Shuiyue Palace who has secretly married someone? The man probably isnʼt a martial artist.”

”Why do you ask that?” Shui Yingʼs face changed slightly, showing a bit of tension.

Ye Feiʼs heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Shui Ying knew the mother of the Gu sisters?

Or even that she herself was? After all, she was also incredibly beautiful.

Only such a beauty could have such pretty daughters, right?

As for her claim of being imprisoned for eighteen years, that was just what she said. It was normal to lose track of time in a place like this. So, without hiding anything, he told Shui Ying about the current situation of the Gu sisters, including the help he had given them.

He just didnʼt mention the name of his company. It wasnʼt that he still distrusted Shui Ying, but he thought it was unnecessary.

”So thatʼs how it is,” Shui Ying nodded, thinking of her own daughters. She wondered how they were doing.

Although she had entrusted her good friend to take care of them before she left, her friend would eventually get married, right?

Without her help, he, being a busy man, might not be able to take good care of the daughters.

Perhaps because thinking of her own daughters made Shui Ying feel a sense of empathy for the Gu sisters, she was sincerely grateful for the help Ye Fei had given them.

For a moment, she felt even more familiar with this boy, who had already seemed somewhat familiar to her. Her gaze towards him was no longer indifferent but softened, and she smiled, ”I didnʼt expect you to be so compassionate.”

Shui Yingʼs behavior, however, disappointed Ye Fei. It seemed he had guessed wrong earlier.

At least Shui Ying had no connection with the mother of the Gu sisters. Hearing her words, he made a wry face and said, ”How could I not think of it? Do I look like a bad guy?”

Ye Feiʼs pitiful expression made Shui Ying feel even more familiar with him. For the first time, she smiled in front of him and teased, ”I bet the girls from the Gu family you mentioned are very pretty!”

”They are pretty, but I have no relationship with them now!” Ye Fei explained. Although he didnʼt mind what others thought, he didnʼt want to be labeled with a reputation he didnʼt deserve, making people think he helped them just because he was attracted to their beauty.

”So youʼre still a gentleman, huh?” Shui Ying laughed.

”What kind of gentleman am I? If I were, I wouldnʼt have fallen for someone elseʼs trick,” Ye Fei said with a wry smile. It wasnʼt him boasting. If he hadnʼt been so distracted at the time, with his abilities and mind, how could that woman have succeeded so easily?

”How so? Didnʼt you fall for some beauty trap?” Shui Ying became interested. Having been locked up in this place for so many years, she had grown accustomed to it but still felt lonely at times. Now, chatting with this boy who felt so familiar to her was quite pleasant.

”It should be called a stranger trap!” Ye Fei smiled bitterly again and told Shui Ying the whole story. Since she felt familiar to him, he had the same feeling towards her and didnʼt hide anything.

After listening to Ye Feiʼs story, Shui Ying sighed softly, ”It seems I was really wrong. Youʼre not just not a gentleman; youʼre a little playboy!”

”You donʼt think Iʼm wrong too, do you?” Ye Fei said with a wry face. Although the knot in his heart had been untied, he still hoped someone would acknowledge him.
