Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 821: Fusion of Hearts

”Oh,” Gu Xuehan nodded obediently, though she couldnʼt help feeling a little disappointed.

Truthfully, the jewelry store wasnʼt particularly high-end, and what she wanted wasnʼt something expensive.

As long as it was from Ye Fei, even the cheapest copper ring would have made her happy. Unfortunately, the oblivious Ye Fei hadnʼt yet realized this.

”Pfft, if you canʼt afford it, just say so. ʼSomething betterʼ? Yeah, right!”

Just as Ye Fei and Gu Xuehan were about to leave, a voice filled with disdain came from the side.

Turning around, they saw a heavily made-up woman clinging to a manʼs arm, sneering at them.

”Oh, Sister Hong, what a coincidence to see you here,” Gu Xuehan greeted the woman coolly, clearly recognizing her. She then whispered to Ye Fei, ”Sheʼs a new hire at the company. She played a minor role in one of our recent films.”

Ye Fei nodded, realizing the woman was likely jealous of Gu Xuehan and trying to show off her status. He had no interest in dealing with such people, especially since the man beside her was eyeing Gu Xuehan in a way that disgusted him.

”Letʼs go,” he said.

However, the woman, seemingly intent on provoking them, caught up and grabbed Gu Xuehanʼs arm.

”Gu Xuehan, donʼt leave so soon. Even if you canʼt afford anything, just looking can be fun, right? Isnʼt that so, darling?” she said, clinging to the man in a display of intimacy.

To everyoneʼs surprise, the man pushed Sister Hong aside and flashed what he thought was his most sincere smile at Gu Xuehan.

”Itʼs no problem. If thereʼs anything you like, just let me know. Iʼll buy it for you. By the way, Iʼm Wu Erqi, one of the so-called ʼFour Young Masters of Wanghai.ʼ”

The moment he introduced himself, the onlookers gasped. The name Wu Erqi was legendary in their circles.

Back in the day, under Ye Yuʼs leadership, the ”Four Young Masters” had been a force to be reckoned with.

Though their influence had waned since Ye Yuʼs death, they were still far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

What puzzled everyone was why such a prominent figure would be in this small store, fawning over a girl with an alternative style.

Wu Erqi had a good eye for women. Even though Gu Xuehanʼs face was half-hidden by oversized sunglasses, he could still see her stunning beauty.

When Sister Hong called out her name, Wu Erqi immediately recognized her. After all, he had been trying to get close to the real beauties of the entertainment industry through women like Sister Hong.

Gu Xuehan had heard of the ”Four Young Masters of Wanghai.”

In the past, she might have been as shocked as the onlookers.

But now?

Her man was none other than the legend of Wanghai himself. How could these spoiled brats compare?

Without a second thought, she ignored Wu Erqi and continued walking out with Ye Fei.

As for Ye Fei, he couldnʼt be bothered with the man.

Though Wu Erqi had once been under Ye Yuʼs command, Ye Yu was long gone, and this guy was nothing more than a spoiled playboy. He wasnʼt even worth Ye Feiʼs time.

Unfortunately, some people are destined to dig their graves. Seeing Gu Xuehan ignore him, Wu Erqiʼs pride took a hit.

He muttered loud enough for her to hear, ”If youʼre going to sell yourself, at least find someone with money, not some poor loser.”

Gu Xuehan froze at his words, her face paling. Her tough upbringing had made her stronger than most girls, and she rarely cared about othersʼ opinions.

But Ye Fei was the exception. She knew without a doubt that she loved Ye Fei for who he was, not his wealth or status.

Yet, she feared others—especially Ye Fei—might think otherwise. This poor girl couldnʼt help but feel a bit insecure when it came to the man she loved.

Ye Fei, fully aware of Gu Xuehanʼs feelings, felt a surge of anger stronger than anything heʼd felt before.

He turned and walked up to Wu Erqi, his voice icy. ”When the King of Hell asks why you died, tell him itʼs because you couldnʼt keep your mouth shut.”

”Who the hell do you think you are—” Wu Erqi sneered, ready to insult Ye Fei, but his voice trailed off as he got a clear look at Ye Feiʼs face. His eyes widened in terror, and he stammered, ”Ye—”

Before Wu Erqi could finish, Ye Fei slapped him across the face. Wu Erqi collapsed to the ground without a sound, unmoving.

”He… heʼs dead!” someone shouted after checking Wu Erqiʼs pulse. The crowd stared in shock, terrified that Ye Fei might go on a rampage. Sister Hong screamed hysterically.

Under everyoneʼs gaze, Ye Fei didnʼt leave immediately. He returned to Gu Xuehan, who was also stunned and sighed.

”Well, I accidentally killed him, and in front of so many people. Iʼll probably end up in prison. Gu Xuehan, can I ask you for a favor?”

”What?” Gu Xuehan asked, still in shock.

”Youʼll soon be the young master of the Sunflower Sect, while Iʼll be a murderer. Even with my familyʼs connections, Iʼll likely spend years in prison. Promise me youʼll wait for me and not fall for anyone else, okay?” Ye Fei said with a pained expression.

Gu Xuehan was stunned and then felt a wave of indignation.

Tears streaming down her face, she said, ”What kind of person do you think I am?” But then she noticed a meaningful smile on Ye Feiʼs face, completely devoid of the earlier sorrow.

At that moment, Gu Xuehan understood Ye Feiʼs true intentions and his heart. Overwhelmed with joy, she threw herself into his arms, playfully hitting his chest.

”How can you joke at a time like this?” she scolded. The lingering insecurity in her heart vanished, and their souls fused in perfect harmony.

”How carefree of you, Young Master Ye. Just after causing a scene, youʼre here flirting with a girl!” A cold, slightly mocking voice interrupted them.

Ye Fei turned and was stunned to see the speaker—none other than Leng Yan, the newly appointed head of the anti-gang unit at the Wanghai Police Department. Her icy demeanor and sharp tongue were unmistakable.
