Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 461: A Happy Ye Xuan

”I also find it quite strange,” Ye Fei chuckled, ”But thereʼs no need to rush. Weʼll know the answer soon enough. No matter what the reason is, this guy wonʼt be able to stay in the coastal area for long.”

”Youʼre right. Who dares to poach my sonʼs people? They must be out of their minds,” Liu Yiru said with a smug look on her face, her eyes twinkling with playful affection as she glanced at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan felt a bit embarrassed under Liu Yiruʼs gaze. However, the shyness in her heart quickly dispelled the fleeting sense of disappointment she had felt from Ye Feiʼs words.

After driving away that Bao Daren, the three of them didnʼt encounter any more problems and soon arrived at a large room on the top floor. This was where the senior members of the Lingyun Association in the coastal area discussed matters.

When the three arrived, the room was already filled with many people. Ye Fei took a look and saw that most of them were familiar faces from Wang Hai City. The others, he assumed, must have been promoted later.

Although Ye Feiʼs mother, Liu Yiru was not a member of the association, and Ye Fei didnʼt want her to get involved in the gangʼs affairs, she greeted everyone and then left first.

In fact, Ye Fei didnʼt really have any specific business here today. He just came to meet everyone. However, after exchanging a few words, he noticed a significant issue.

While these people showed Ye Fei, their leader, enough enthusiasm and respect due to his strength, their own laid-back attitude was somewhat unsatisfactory to Ye Fei. Perhaps because they had almost completely taken control of the coastal area, they had lost their drive and were becoming arrogant.

If it were just an ordinary gang, this wouldnʼt be a problem. But now, the Lingyun Association had become an indispensable force in Ye Feiʼs hands. He was very clear about the trouble he had caused recently and knew that the bigwigs upstairs wanted to deal with him but were just wary of him.

So, what he needed to do now was to keep growing stronger, so that those people wouldnʼt dare to have any ideas about him, thus creating a safe space for the people he cared about.

”Ye Xuan, do you feel there are any problems with the association now?” After asking everyone except Ye Xuan to leave, Ye Fei got straight to the point.

Originally, after that barrier was broken, being alone with Ye Fei would have made Ye Xuan feel shy and excited. However, upon hearing Ye Feiʼs question, she immediately put aside those romantic fantasies and sighed, ”Yeah, the people in the gang are getting arrogant, and if this continues, theyʼll become more and more lazy.”

”Itʼs not just that,” Ye Fei said seriously. ”You know, we were labeled as ʼterroristsʼ by those bigwigs a while ago. Although they didnʼt dare to move against us last time, I believe theyʼve been thinking about it. If we let our guard down, there could be a big disaster.”

”What should we do?” Ye Xuan couldnʼt help but feel anxious. Although she was usually calm and decisive, she had never thought about confronting those bigwigs.

”Donʼt worry about that. They wonʼt dare to touch me for now,” Ye Fei said with a smile to comfort Ye Xuan.

”But the gang canʼt continue like this. You know what the people in the other two cities of Wang Hai and Linhai are like. Iʼm worried that the coastal area might become a weak link for our Lingyun Association.”

”Iʼll keep them in line,” Ye Xuan promised first, then added with a hint of helplessness, ”But they may not take it seriously. And I canʼt be too harsh on them, because after that huge change, their loyalty is beyond doubt.”

”How about this? You switch places with Uncle De. Let him come here to manage things, and you go to Wang Hai City,” Ye Fei suggested. ”You can trust him. He wonʼt make things difficult for them. Heʼs just here to change the atmosphere here.”

Ye Xuan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the best solution for now. So she nodded and said, ”Okay, letʼs do it.”

”Then itʼs settled. You discuss with Uncle De and see when you can switch,” Ye Fei said with a smile. ”Letʼs go. My mom is waiting outside.”

”Okay,” Ye Xuan agreed. But inside, she felt a bit down. She couldnʼt quite figure out whether Ye Fei really liked her or not. If he did, why didnʼt he say anything affectionate during this rare opportunity to be alone together? Instead, he just talked about business.

”Actually, I have a personal reason for this arrangement,” Ye Fei added as the two were about to leave the room. ”If you go to Wang Hai City, itʼll be much easier for us to meet up.”

Although Ye Feiʼs words werenʼt exactly romantic, they worked better than any lovey-dovey talk for Ye Xuan. Her disappointment vanished instantly, and she happily followed him out of the room.

In fact, Ye Fei wasnʼt uninterested in being affectionate with Ye Xuan. He had long been attracted to this stunningly beautiful woman. But at the moment, he just didnʼt have the mood, because Shui Yingʼs departure was still a thorn in his heart. He was eager to know her whereabouts. So, after reuniting with Liu Yiru, Ye Fei immediately asked about it, ”Mom, now that things are settled, can you tell me where Shui Ying is?”

”Why are you in such a hurry? Is she the only one on your mind?” Liu Yiru pouted, pretending to be jealous. Ye Xuan, who was delighted by Ye Feiʼs words, had already left in a hurry to prepare for the switch with Zhang Yide, so Liu Yiru didnʼt need to hold back anymore.

Ye Fei smiled wryly, ”Iʼm just worried. Youʼre all my treasures. Iʼd be anxious if any of you were out of touch.”

”Alright, alright!” Liu Yiru knew her son was sincere and stopped teasing him. She smiled, ”Donʼt worry, I promise youʼll be reunited with her tomorrow.”

”Okay then,” Ye Fei said, relieved by his motherʼs confidence. He asked, ”So, where are we going today?”

”Iʼve been so busy all these years that I havenʼt had much time to visit even a place as close as the coastal area. Now that we have some free time, will you accompany me to explore the coastal area?” Liu Yiru said, her face lighting up with anticipation.

”Of course!” Ye Fei nodded immediately.

With his worries about Shui Ying put aside, he was more than happy to spend time with his beloved mother.
