Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 592: A Brief Stay

”Who said I donʼt want to?” Jiang Manjun blurted out. When she heard that the Heavenly Demon Sect was moving to Wanghai, she was thrilled. Ye Feiʼs comment made her anxious, but after speaking, she noticed the knowing looks from everyone, and a charming blush spread across her beautiful face. Known for her bold personality, this was the first time Jiang Manjun showed a more delicate, shy side.

Jiang Manjun had always been more like a man in her demeanor, and her exceptional martial skills gave her high standards. Ordinary men never caught her eye, but Ye Fei was different. Despite being younger, his mysterious martial arts, witty conversation, and personality that was both bold and thoughtful captivated her.

The fact that he had stood up for her against the grandmaster monk deeply touched her heart. At over twenty years old, she found herself developing feelings for a man for the first time.

While she didnʼt fully understand her emotions yet, like her mother, she didnʼt want to be apart from him. Knowing she could see him every day in Wanghai filled her with joy, though it also brought a natural shyness.

”I mean, the Heavenly Demon Sectʼs decisions are up to Mom and the aunts. What I think doesnʼt matter,” Jiang Manjun explained awkwardly, her attempt to cover up only making it more obvious.

Seeing his bold and beautiful senior sister show such vulnerability because of him filled Ye Fei with pride and tenderness. He didnʼt want to embarrass her further, so he clasped his hands and said, ”In that case, Senior Sister and both masters, take care on your journey. Iʼll be waiting for you in Wanghai.”

”Mm,” the three women replied in unison, casting one last longing glance at Ye Fei before turning and disappearing from his sight.

”They left just like that. Aunt Zhu and the others are so carefree,” Tang Xin said with a hint of envy. Her personality was somewhat similar to Jiang Manjunʼs, which was why she had dared to confront Jiang Manjun on stage when no one else would. However, growing up in the traditional Tang Sect forced her to adopt a more conventional femininity, creating a unique blend of boldness, stubbornness, and a touch of gentleness that had unknowingly drawn Ye Fei in.

Taking a deep breath to dispel the melancholy of parting, Ye Fei smiled and said, ”Yeah, but you wonʼt get to enjoy that kind of freedom. From now on, youʼre mine, and thereʼs no escaping!”

Tang Xinʼs face flushed at Ye Feiʼs suggestive words. ”Stop being so full of yourself! Iʼm just your maid, thatʼs all!”

”A maid, huh? Well, since youʼre the maid, and Iʼve been busy all day, why donʼt you go fetch some water so I can wash my face?” Ye Fei teased with a grin.

”Busy? Youʼve been lazing around all day, watching everyone else work,” Tang Xin retorted.

”Ugh, Iʼm exhausted!” Just as Ye Fei and Tang Xin were bantering, Ye Zhilin and the others finally finished recording the last sectʼs contact information. Ye Zhilin stretched gracefully and hopped over to Ye Fei. ”Ye Fei, why didnʼt you help?”

”I couldnʼt find a way to pitch in,” Ye Fei said with a sheepish smile. ”Besides, I was so excited about you becoming the alliance leader. You know how it is—when youʼre too excited, itʼs hard to focus on serious tasks.”

”Hmph, excuses! You just wanted to slack off,” Ye Zhilin huffed. ”Anyway, Iʼm just the figurehead leader. Youʼre the one whoʼll handle everything from now on!”

”Shh, keep it down!” Ye Fei whispered urgently. Even if thatʼs the case, you donʼt need to announce it so loudly! He glanced around nervously, noticing that some people hadnʼt left yet.

Sure enough, Ye Zhilinʼs words didnʼt go unnoticed. However, instead of being surprised, the remaining martial artists gave Ye Fei a knowing smiles. As members of the hidden martial world, they were aware of the rising prominence of the Lingyun Society.

Knowing Ye Fei was its leader, they understood that Ye Zhilinʼs position as alliance leader was essentially a front for Ye Fei. This didnʼt bother them; in fact, they saw it as a good thing, to have a capable and visionary leader to guide them.

After bowing respectfully to Ye Zhilin, who had reverted to her playful self, the last of the martial artists left, leaving only Ye Feiʼs group and the conference organizers on the stage.

Ye Zhilin looked around and asked curiously, ”Huh? Where did Sister Zhu and the others go?” Among everyone, Ye Zhilin held the highest seniority, but she didnʼt care much about formalities. Apart from acting like the boss in front of Ye Fei, she casually called the other women ”sisters,” regardless of their actual relationships. No one minded.

”They left ahead of us to prepare and will meet us in Wanghai,” Ye Fei explained.

Ye Zhilin, who had the strongest longing for the outside world, immediately said, ”Then letʼs get going too. Itʼs almost dark, and if we wait any longer, we might not make it out.”

”Hold on, Alliance Leader!” Just as Ye Fei was about to agree, Master Wu Kong intervened. ”Tonight, weʼd like to discuss the future development of the Martial Alliance with you. Please stay here for the evening.”

”What? We have to talk about that now?” Ye Zhilin groaned. ”Canʼt it wait?”

”Iʼm afraid not,” Master Wu Kong said with a gentle smile. ”But donʼt worry, Alliance Leader. Weʼll just discuss the plans. It wonʼt be as tiring.”

Despite Master Wu Kongʼs reassurance, Ye Zhilin wasnʼt keen on staying. She nudged Ye Fei and said, ”Ye Fei, you go instead!”

Ye Fei chuckled and whispered in her ear, ”I can handle things for you later, but this time, there are outsiders involved. Itʼs better if you do it. Be a good Zhilin and bear with it just this once.”

Hearing Ye Feiʼs affectionate tone, Ye Zhilinʼs heart warmed, and she was reminded of the incredible feeling of being kissed until she felt dizzy. She nodded in agreement. ”Alright, but you have to…” She puckered her lips slightly, actually asking Ye Fei for a kiss right there.

Ye Fei knew his little aunt wasnʼt fully aware of the implications of this gesture, so she wouldnʼt feel shy about it. Being someone who acted on impulse himself, he leaned down and gently pecked her lips. ”Is that good enough?” he asked with a smile.
