Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 460: All Knots Untied

”Iʼve never blamed you!” Ye Feiʼs tender gaze and gentle words almost intoxicated Ye Xuan. In a daze, she blurted out her true feelings. It was only after catching a glimpse of Liu Yiruʼs mischievous smile that she suddenly realized she had been held by Ye Fei.

Overwhelmed with embarrassment, she quickly broke free from his embrace and hurried outside, saying, ”We should head to the headquarters now. Iʼll get the car ready.”

Watching Ye Xuan flee like a little girl, embarrassed and flustered, the mother and son shared a knowing smile. Liu Yiru said, ”Such a great woman, you really lucked out!”

”Jealous?” Ye Fei chuckled.

”Me? Jealous? If I were jealous of you, Iʼd be swimming in vinegar all day. Iʼm not that silly!” Liu Yiru huffed playfully.

”Mom, Iʼm sorry,” Ye Fei suddenly became serious, looking at Liu Yiru with eyes full of affection and regret. ”I canʼt give you all my love.”

”Alright, save the deep talk for your gang members. It doesnʼt work on me!” Liu Yiru laughed, chasing after Ye Xuan. But just before reaching the door, she turned back and whispered, ”Besides, I wouldnʼt dare to have all your love. Otherwise, either youʼd starve, or someone else would burst from too much.”

During the period when he had been feeling down because of Liu Yunerʼs words, Ye Fei had thought the most about his mom, Liu Yiru. She was his favorite, so naturally, she was the first person he felt he needed to apologize to. He had even considered taking her away to a distant place to live happily as a couple.

But that would be unfair to the other women who were also deeply in love with him. After he had untied his own emotional knots, the idea had faded, but he still felt a bit guilty towards his mom. So his apology was sincere, and he knew her seemingly joking response wasnʼt a joke either.

It was her way of telling him that she truly didnʼt mind, not because she didnʼt love him, but because her love was so deep that it led to understanding and tolerance. And her last words were right: with his current situation, he couldnʼt possibly love just one woman.

With his last emotional knot untied thanks to his momʼs tolerance, Ye Fei strode out as well. From now on, he would no longer be confused by any changes in his love life. His goal was to do everything in his power to ensure the women he loved lived in eternal happiness.

When he reached the courtyard, Ye Xuan had already started the car, and Liu Yiru had taken the passenger seat, so Ye Fei had no choice but to sit alone in the back.

During the ride, Ye Xuanʼs pretty face, serving as the driver, still had a faint blush from Ye Feiʼs gentle hug earlier. She seemed quite shy, but her mood was clearly great. Ye Feiʼs behavior today had proven that he had accepted her, and his mom didnʼt object either. How could she not be happy?

However, as soon as the car entered the parking lot of the Near-sea Lingyun Group headquarters—which was also a large-scale nightclub—Ye Xuanʼs good mood vanished. She saw someone she really disliked.

Throughout the ride, although Ye Fei couldnʼt do much from the back seat, his eyes had never left the two stunningly beautiful women in the front. So Ye Xuanʼs change in expression didnʼt escape his notice. Following her gaze, he saw a middle-aged man with wire-rimmed glasses standing there with a smile, and a burly guy following behind him.

”Ye Xuan, whoʼs that guy?” Although there were two people there, Ye Fei could clearly tell which one Ye Xuan disliked.

”Bao Daren, the newly assigned vice mayor in charge of our area,” Ye Xuan said with a hint of helplessness.

”Vice mayor?” Ye Fei was taken aback. ”Does he really need to come and inspect during the day? And why would he come to our Lingyun Group?”

”Heʼs not here for official business,” Ye Xuan sighed. ”Heʼs after me. Ever since he saw me at a banquet, heʼs been like a persistent ghost, extremely annoying.”

Damn it! Heʼs trying to steal my thunder! Ye Fei was furious, his face darkening as he said, ”Let me deal with him!”

”No!” Ye Xuan quickly stopped him. ”Donʼt be impulsive. Heʼs an official, and we really shouldnʼt offend him. Just avoid him, and weʼll be fine.”

Ye Fei suddenly stopped and looked at Ye Xuan seriously, saying, ”Ye Xuan, although youʼre now the vice leader of the Lingyun Group, thereʼs an important concept you still havenʼt grasped.”

”What?” Ye Xuan asked anxiously, worried that she might have done something wrong.

”Itʼs that the Lingyun Group is no longer the small-time underground organization it used to be,” Ye Fei said earnestly. ”Weʼre the controllers of the Southeast. Here, we donʼt have to kowtow to anyone. On the contrary, they need our approval to even stand a chance here. So in the future, you donʼt have to put up with people like him!”

With that, Ye Fei got out of the car and strode towards the neatly dressed middle-aged man. The guyʼs face turned sour when he saw such an extraordinarily handsome man get out of Ye Xuanʼs car. As Ye Fei approached, before he could even speak, the man asked in an unhappy tone, ”Who are you?”

Ignoring the guyʼs question, Ye Fei said coldly, ”Three numbers. Get out of here. Within three days, get out of the Southeast! One, two...”

The man was furious when he saw Ye Fei start counting down and shouted, ”Kid, who gave you the guts to be so arrogant?”

The burly man behind him, after taking a good look at Ye Fei, suddenly changed his expression and quickly walked over to the middle-aged man, whispering something into his ear. After hearing it, the guyʼs face also changed. He glared at Ye Fei fiercely, then left without a word.

Once the two men had gone far enough, Ye Fei got back into the car and said to Ye Xuan with a smile, ”Ye Xuan, itʼs okay. That guy shouldnʼt dare to bother you again.”

Liu Yiru, puzzled, said, ”That doesnʼt make sense. If he dared to pursue Ye Xuan, it means he shouldnʼt be afraid of the Lingyun Group. So why did he leave just by seeing you?”
