Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 731: A Life-Risking Rescue

Seeing Li Ningxueʼs gesture, the girl confirmed her fears, but she had already transformed that flicker of emotion into admiration. Instead of feeling disappointed, she sincerely wished Li Ningxue well, saying, ”Youʼre truly blessed, Ms. Li.”

Li Ningxue smiled slightly, not refuting the girlʼs words, while Ye Fei chuckled, ”No, itʼs me whoʼs blessed. We have some matters to attend to, so weʼll see you later.” With that, he and Li Ningxue walked out together.

Just as Ye Fei and Li Ningxue left, a petite figure emerged from the side of the hall—it was Xiaoying. Seeing her friend standing there in a daze, she couldnʼt help but ask, ”Whatʼs wrong?”

The girl, still overwhelmed with excitement from Ye Fei saying goodbye to her, exclaimed, ”I talked to Ye Fei! He even gave me his autograph!” She proudly waved the piece of paper in her hand before carefully tucking it away.

Xiaoyingʼs expression changed, and she quickly asked, ”He came down? Where is he?” She felt a pang of regret. She had waited so long just to thank Ye Fei, but by stepping away to the restroom, she had missed him.

The girl pointed outside, ”He just left. Youʼre not also...” Before she could finish, Xiaoying was already sprinting out the door.

By then, Ye Fei and Li Ningxue had reached the entrance of the underground parking lot. Ye Fei asked Li Ningxue to wait there while he went to get the car. But before he could take more than a few steps, he sensed a faint aura of hostility.

Expanding his awareness, Ye Feiʼs lips curled into a cold smile. He hadnʼt expected Li Jian to have the guts for something like this. From the murderous look in his eyes, it seemed he was planning a vehicular attack.

Sure enough, as Ye Fei had anticipated, Li Jian started his car and, with a roar, sped toward Ye Fei. At the same time, a delicate figure approached Ye Fei. He didnʼt move, as he was looking for an excuse to deal with this scoundrel.

As for the girl, whom he recognized as the receptionist from earlier, he wasnʼt concerned—Li Jianʼs target was him, and she was several meters away, out of harmʼs reach.

But to Ye Feiʼs surprise, Xiaoying, who had also noticed the danger, suddenly ran toward him. Just as the car was about to hit him, she pushed him aside with all her strength. A loud crash followed, and her frail body was sent flying.

For a moment, Ye Fei was stunned. He couldnʼt understand why this girl, whom he had only met once, would risk her life to save him. This momentary hesitation was why Li Jianʼs car had managed to hit her at all—otherwise, no matter how fast the car was, it wouldnʼt have been able to harm them.

Knowing this wasnʼt the time for reflection, Ye Fei didnʼt even bother with Li Jian, who was now speeding away in reverse. Instead, he rushed to the girlʼs side, only to find her on the brink of death.

He quickly knelt, cradling her in his arms, and shoved a few recovery pills into her mouth. But she had already lost the ability to swallow. In desperation, Ye Fei placed a few pills in his mouth, then gently parted her lips and transferred them to her.

Only after ensuring the dissolved pills had entered her system did Ye Fei feel a sense of relief. Though her sacrifice seemed meaningless, he was deeply moved. Once her condition stabilized slightly, he carefully picked her up and began walking toward his car.

Before he could take more than a few steps, Li Ningxue, who had heard the commotion and come to investigate, caught up to them.

Li Ningxue was an easily contented woman. Though she saw Ye Fei holding another girl, she felt no jealousy, especially when she noticed the girl was covered in blood. Concerned, she asked, ”What happened to her?”

”Li Jian tried to run me over with his car, and she blocked it,” Ye Fei explained.

This time, even the kind-hearted Li Ningxue couldnʼt let it slide. She said bitterly, ”Ye Fei, you must make him pay for this!”

”Of course. I wouldnʼt let him off even if you didnʼt say so,” Ye Fei replied, a cruel smile playing on his lips. He no longer planned to kill Li Jian—death would be too easy for someone like him. Ye Fei wanted to strip him of everything, leaving him to live like a dog.

Seeing Ye Fei place Xiaoying in the back seat of the car instead of taking her to the hospital, Li Ningxue couldnʼt help but say, ”Is she okay? Shouldnʼt we take her to the hospital?”

”No need. She shouldnʼt be moved right now, and the recovery pills will have her healed soon,” Ye Fei explained, detailing the effects of the pills and even how he had obtained them.

Li Ningxue wasnʼt surprised at all. Instead, she felt a surge of tenderness, proud of her manʼs extraordinary abilities.

Sure enough, after a short while, Xiaoying slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Ye Fei and Li Ningxue, her face paled as she asked a rather absurd question, ”Are we... dead?”

”No, weʼre not dead, and neither are you,” Ye Fei said gently, without a hint of amusement. ”Thank you for what you did back there.”

Hearing Ye Feiʼs words, Xiaoying finally felt the pain in her body, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. She said shyly, ”I just wanted to thank you.”

”Thank me for what?” Ye Fei asked, puzzled. He had been wondering why this girl would risk her life to save him.

Xiaoying didnʼt take credit for helping Ye Fei. Instead, she said with deep gratitude, ”Thank you for helping my mom that time.”

Ye Feiʼs heart stirred. Though he had changed the atmosphere of Wanghai, he had personally intervened in very few cases—almost none.

He quickly recalled something and asked, ”Are you the daughter of the woman who was in that car accident?”

He was a bit confused, though, as the girl looked to be in her early twenties, while the woman he had helped was in her sixties. The age gap seemed too large.

”Yes, thatʼs me. Thank you,” the girl said again, then introduced herself, ”Iʼm Han Xiaoying.”

Han Xiaoying? Ye Fei was momentarily thrown off. Wasnʼt that the name of the gentlest heroine from The Legend of the Condor Heroes?

Were her parents fans of martial arts novels? Of course, he didnʼt voice this thought. Instead, he smiled and said, ”Iʼm Ye Fei, and this is Li Ningxue. Iʼm sure you already know that. Youʼre almost fully recovered now. Once I help you expel the stagnant blood from your body, youʼll be completely healed.”

After getting her consent, Ye Fei took her small hand and sent a surge of internal energy into her body. His expression shifted slightly.
