Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

After saying hello to Ye Xuan, the mother and son left the headquarters of the Lingyun Association in the coastal area. Ye Xuan actually really wanted to go with them, but she had a ton of stuff to deal with. She had to prepare for the handover and arrange for her daughter's school transfer.

There was just no time for shopping. Besides, she figured once she got to Wang Hai City, she'd have plenty of chances to hang out with Ye Fei. No need to rush it.

As a newly developed city, the coastal area was big but didn't really have any famous attractions.

All you saw were high-tech things, like electronics streets and tech markets. Neither the mother nor the son was interested in that stuff.

But the real reason Liu Yiru wanted to go shopping with her son wasn't to see or buy anything. She just wanted to spend some alone time with him in this relatively unfamiliar place.

As they walked down the street hand in hand, Liu Yiru couldn't help but remember the time they went to Changbai Mountain together.

Back then, they hadn't quite crossed that line yet, so it wasn't like they were super intimate, but the warmth and closeness were still incredibly touching.

Ye Fei was obviously thinking about the same thing.

Even though neither of them said a word, that warm feeling just made their already close hearts completely blend together. They were inseparable.

"Hey, do you know who that woman was who grabbed you that day?" Liu Yiru finally spoke up after they'd walked most of the way down the street.

Ye Fei shook his head. "Not yet. But it doesn't matter. Once we find Shui Ying, we can just ask the people from the Shuiyue Palace. They're the ones who found her, so they'll know who she is."

"We better find her soon," Liu Yiru said, smiling as she held onto her son's arm.

Ye Fei, enjoying the feeling of his arm being squeezed by his mom's softness, asked curiously, "Why the rush? You need something from her?"

"Of course! I want her to be my sister-in-law," Liu Yiru laughed. "And I'm really curious about a woman who could catch your interest in that situation. She must be super charming, right?"

Ye Fei gave a wry smile. "Interest? I was just looking for someone to talk to. I was so desperate, I probably would've fallen for a gorilla if it had shown up."

"Is that so?" Liu Yiru nodded. "But I heard she's an extremely sexy beauty. Are you really not interested at all?" Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

"Mom, it feels like you think I don't have enough women in my life," Ye Fei said, shaking his head.

"Well, you do have a lot, so one more won't hurt, right?" Liu Yiru laughed. "Besides, if she's got such powerful drugs, she's probably not an ordinary person.

If we can keep her around, she could be a big help. And a sexy beauty like that shouldn't go to waste, right? She kidnapped you once; now you can make her beg for mercy every night. It's like killing two birds with one stone. How could I not be eager?"

Even though his mom said all that, Ye Fei knew the first reason was the real one. Thinking about how much she cared for him made him love her even more. But he didn't need to say it out loud. He just smiled and said, "But what I really want is to make you beg for mercy every night!"

"Bring it on!" Liu Yiru suddenly let go of his arm and ran ahead, giggling, "Catch me first, and you can have your way with me!"

Seeing his mom acting so freely in this unfamiliar place, Ye Fei felt a wave of relief and happiness. He laughed and chased after her.

Meanwhile, as Ye Fei and his mom were having fun chasing each other on the street, Shui Ying, who had reluctantly left Ye Fei, arrived in Wang Hai City on her own. She followed her old memories to the place she lived eighteen years ago, only to find that it had completely changed into a commercial building.

Feeling a bit helpless, Shui Ying wandered the streets of Wang Hai City, which felt both strange and familiar. She had three places she could go: the Lingyun Association headquarters, the Ye Group, or the Liu Group. If she went to either of the first two, she'd be able to find her family. But without a second thought, she chose the third one—the Liu Group.

Yiru had been studying business all these years. She must be the head of the Liu Group now, right? Thinking of her old friend, Shui Ying suddenly felt an urge to confide in her. Her heart was in turmoil. She had decided to leave the man she loved, but now that she was gone, she realized she just couldn't let go. She thought the pain would be the worst when she made the decision to leave, but it turned out that the real pain was now.

So Shui Ying really wanted to share her story with her good friend. Whether she got encouragement or comfort didn't really matter anymore.

With the little money she had left, she took a taxi and quickly arrived at the Liu Group building. As she paid the fare, she couldn't help but think of the man she loved so deeply. He probably already knew she was gone. And when he saw how little money she took, he must be heartbroken. Thinking of his tenderness, Shui Ying felt like crying.

She took a deep breath, walked to the entrance of the building, and asked the security guard, "Excuse me, does Liu Yiru work here?"

"Are you here to see our CEO? Do you have an appointment?" The security guard at the Liu Group was top-notch. He wasn't arrogant just because he worked for the biggest group in Wang Hai City, and he didn't treat her any differently just because she was a stunning beauty. He just asked formally.

Shui Ying thought to herself, "I was right. Yiru must have taken over the Liu Group completely." She said, "No, but could you please let her know that Shui Ying is here to see her?"

"I'm sorry, ma'am. Normally I could pass the message, but unfortunately, Ms. Liu didn't come to the office today," the guard replied politely.

Shui Ying felt a bit disappointed and was about to leave when she noticed that everyone around was showing respect and greeting a girl who was coming out of the building, calling her "Ms. Ye."
