Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 458: A Stunned Mom

When the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, Ye Fei awoke from his slumber. Stretching comfortably, he reached out to embrace the sexy beauty by his side, hoping to share a tender moment on this beautiful morning. But his arms met empty air.

Assuming Shui Ying had gone to the bathroom, Ye Fei didnʼt think much of it. He casually picked up his phone from the bedside table to check the time, but froze as he looked at the screen.

Instead of the wallpaper he had set—a photo of him and his little sister Ye Yunqi—there was a pre-edited message: ”Husband, please forgive Shui Ying for leaving without saying goodbye. I had thought about giving up everything to happily serve you for the rest of my life, but I know that if I did, I would feel guilty towards my daughters and wouldnʼt be truly happy. And that would make you unhappy too. So, I chose to run away. Husband, I left just to see my daughters; it has no other meaning. Ever since I met you, I have belonged to you and you alone. Husband, Iʼm sorry. I love you! — Your forever-loving Shui Ying.”

Perhaps because she was too upset, Shui Yingʼs message was a bit disjointed and hard to follow, but Ye Fei could clearly see the ocean-deep love she had for him and her determination to wait for him for a lifetime. As he absentmindedly felt around, his hand touched a damp spot. Turning his head, he saw a large wet patch on the pillow—obviously Shui Yingʼs tears.

This silly woman! Ye Fei couldnʼt help but let out a wry smile. He wasnʼt sad, though. It wasnʼt that he didnʼt love Shui Ying; he was just confident that he could find her. If all else failed, he could always wait for her at Shuiyue Palace. She would never be able to escape him!

It was then that Ye Fei understood why Shui Ying had acted so strangely last night, giving him almost all of her first times with such urgency. She must have known she was about to leave. This realization filled Ye Fei with a mix of admiration, heartache, and self-reproach. Why hadnʼt he paid more attention to her odd behavior?

Ye Fei hadnʼt forgotten his appointment with his mom today, and after seeing her, he had one very important task: to mobilize everyone in the Lingyun Group to find Shui Ying at all costs. So he quickly got out of bed, but when he saw his wallet, he felt a pang of something.

Donʼt get him wrong, Ye Fei wasnʼt worried about his money. He was worried about Shui Ying. This silly woman had only taken a few hundred dollars in cash. That wouldnʼt even cover her travel expenses.

Didnʼt she know that her suffering would break his heart? He had to give her a good spanking when he found her!

After packing up, Ye Fei checked out of the hotel and hailed a taxi nearby, heading towards Ye Xuanʼs home. Although he had never been there, he knew where it was.

The car soon arrived at its destination. Ye Xuan and Fang Yuqianʼs residence was a small, standalone villa near the center of Near-sea City. It was quite similar to his uncleʼs place in Wang Hai City.

Was this the kind of place that the usual leaders of the underworld preferred?

Seeing the villa, Ye Fei couldnʼt help but think of his gentle and quiet aunt Xu Shuyun and his adorable little cousin Ye Jing. It had been a long time since he had visited them. Once he found Shui Ying, he should definitely go see them.

With these thoughts in mind, Ye Fei walked up to the villa and rang the doorbell.

The door was quickly opened from the inside, and to Ye Feiʼs surprise, it was his mom, Liu Yiru, who greeted him.

Seeing that it was indeed Ye Fei, Liu Yiru couldnʼt contain her longing for him any longer. She quickly shut the door and threw herself into his arms, saying softly, ”Good son, youʼre finally back. Mom was so worried about you!”

”I told you Iʼd be fine. Donʼt you trust my abilities?” Ye Fei wrapped his arms around his momʼs sexy body, which stirred his heart more than any other womanʼs. He spoke as if scolding her, but his words were filled with tenderness. His heart swelled with affection.

The mother and son embraced warmly for a while before Ye Fei asked, ”Mom, why did you open the door? Whereʼs Ye Xuan?”

”Ye Xuan took Qian to school. Iʼm all alone here,” Liu Yiru replied, then looked up at her sonʼs handsome face, gently caressing it with her hand and asking softly, ”You must have suffered these past few days, right?”

”Of course not!” Ye Fei laughed, gently lifting his momʼs soft body and carrying her into the living room. He sat down on the sofa with her on his lap and recounted the story of being taken to Shuiyue Palace, also mentioning Shui Ying.

”The important thing you mentioned yesterday was to be with her?” Liu Yiru asked softly, a hint of discomfort in her voice. Although she could accept her sonʼs other women, the thought of him being with someone else instead of coming to see her still bothered her a bit.

”No, it wasnʼt,” Ye Fei shook his head and recounted the events of yesterday and this morning, ending with a wry smile, ”Who knew she had already made up her mind to leave.”

Hearing about the womanʼs thoughtful intentions, Liu Yiruʼs slight resentment vanished. She looked at Ye Fei with determination in her beautiful eyes and said, ”You have to bring her back!”

Although she hadnʼt met her yet, she had already grown fond of this woman who was deeply in love with her son and full of motherly love for her own daughters, just from his description.

”Of course!” Ye Fei nodded, ”Once Ye Xuan gets back, weʼll go to the Lingyun Group and mobilize everyone to find Sister Shui Ying!”

”What? Her name is Shui Ying?” Liu Yiru couldnʼt help but jump up from her sonʼs lap in shock, her beautiful eyes wide with disbelief.

”Yes, why?” Ye Fei was taken aback by his momʼs reaction and asked.

Shui Ying? Three daughters? Now Liu Yiru knew exactly who she was. After the initial shock, her eyes filled with amusement. She had been worried about how to explain to her that she had given her daughters to her son, but now...

Seeing the laughter in his momʼs eyes, Ye Fei realized something and eagerly asked, ”Mom, do you know her?”

”Thereʼs no need to mobilize the gang. Mom knows where she is,” Liu Yiru said with a smile, thinking to herself, Shui Ying after eighteen years apart, not only are we real sisters now, but youʼve also become my daughter-in-law! And in a way, my own daughter-in-law too.

Thinking of this, she felt that fate was truly a wonderful thing.
