Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

"Just over a year after I left, I heard the news of his passing," Zhuo Feng'er said, unable to stop once she started reminiscing.

"Truth be told, I knew from the beginning it wasn't your mom's fault. If anything, I was the one who wronged her. But after hearing about your dad's death, I didn't know what else I was living for. Without that misplaced hatred, I would have lost all motivation to stay in this world."

"So now you don't hate my mom because you've given up on living, right?" Ye Fei looked into Zhuo Feng'er's eyes and said, "But if you die now, do you think you'll have the face to meet my dad?"

Zhuo Feng'er instinctively glanced down at her hips, still stained with a faint trace of blood, and sighed, "I don't have the face to see him because I didn't preserve the purity that was meant only for him."

"That's not what I'm talking about," Ye Fei thought with a wry smile. It seemed Zhuo Feng'er truly valued this deeply, but that was good. The more she valued it, the deeper an impression he, as her first man, could leave on her.

"What do you mean, then?" Zhuo Feng'er asked. Ye Fei was right; if it had been anyone else, she wouldn't have cared to listen after sharing her past. But with Ye Fei, she couldn't help but want to hear his thoughts.

Ye Fei asked seriously, "The fact that you were willing to sacrifice your happiness to fulfill my dad's wish back then shows that you wanted him to achieve his goal, doesn't it?"

"That's correct," Zhuo Feng'er nodded. "I loved him, so his wish was my wish."

"But now, with his wish still unfulfilled and you on the brink of death, do you think you're honoring him?" Ye Fei questioned.

Zhuo Feng'er replied in confusion, "But the Lingyun Association has far exceeded his expectations, all thanks to your efforts."

"That's just my achievement, and you haven't contributed anything," Ye Fei first downplayed Zhuo Feng'er's role, then lied, "Moreover, what you see is just the surface. The Lingyun Association, due to its rapid growth, has significant management issues. If we don't address them, it could fall apart in no time, and all the efforts of my dad and me would be in vain."

"Is that true?" Zhuo Feng'er was taken aback. Although she was a successful businesswoman, she wasn't well-versed in the underworld, so she instinctively believed Ye Fei.

Seeing that his tactic worked, Ye Fei continued to exaggerate, "That's the best-case scenario. If things go wrong, the fragmented Lingyun Association could be swallowed up by other forces, and the name 'Lingyun Association' would vanish from the world."

Having long considered Ye Lingyun's goal her own and feeling an unbreakable bond with the name "Lingyun," Zhuo Feng'er became anxious, "What should we do?"

"There is a way," Ye Fei said. "You can come to the Lingyun Association and help. Although you've given your assets to that guy, your management skills remain. Together, we can fulfill my dad's wish. How about that?"

Zhuo Feng'er was stunned at first, then became resolute, nodding, "Alright! Let's work together!" Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

Seeing that Zhuo Feng'er had regained her drive and purpose, Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad but also felt a bit helpless. He had used her feelings for his father, which wasn't ideal.

But he understood that it was unrealistic to expect her to transfer her affections from her father to him immediately. The priority was to give her a reason to live, and then he could slowly work on winning her heart. He was confident that after tonight, Zhuo Feng'er's body would no longer be able to deny him.

Being at the peak of her physical needs, sometimes her mind couldn't control her body. Once she joined the Lingyun Association and was by his side, there would be plenty of opportunities. He was sure he could win her over because, sometimes, "time" really does heal all wounds.

With a renewed sense of purpose, Zhuo Feng'er's mood was no longer bleak. Returning to her usual state, she realized in an unintentional movement that she was still naked in Ye Fei's embrace.

She felt extremely shy and quickly pulled away, grabbing the blanket and wrapping it tightly around herself. She said to Ye Fei, "I'll head to Wang Hai City tomorrow. Can you leave now?"

Although eager to start his plan to win her over, Ye Fei knew he couldn't rush things. After climaxing five times in a row, Zhuo Feng'er probably couldn't handle another round. So, he quickly got dressed, sat down by the bed, and looked at Zhuo Feng'er with affection. He said softly, "Once you've rested, go directly to the Lingyun Association headquarters in Wang Hai City. Find Uncle De when you get there. I'll tell him what to do."

Without waiting for her response, he got up and left the room. It wasn't that he didn't want to spend more time with her, but the more business-like he acted now, the less she would guard herself against him in the future.

Watching Ye Fei's tall figure leave, Zhuo Feng'er felt a sudden pang of reluctance, but she quickly suppressed it, reminding herself that her only goal in life now was to help her beloved Lingyun fulfill his wish and grow the Lingyun Association.

Yet, as she thought this, her gaze involuntarily fell on the large wet stain and bloodstains on the bed, and she became momentarily lost in thought.

After leaving the room, Ye Fei didn't leave immediately.

Instead, he found a man named Ling Yun. Although Ye Fei was tempted to kill him for his intentions toward Zhuo Feng'er, he ultimately followed her wishes and let him go. He also relayed Zhuo Feng'er's message to him verbatim.

After hearing this, Ling Yun burst into tears and, that very night transferred his assets back to Zhuo Feng'er. He then left the country with some cash and was never seen again.

With everything settled, Ye Fei quickly returned to the hotel where his mom was waiting.

It was already past three in the morning. Perhaps because she was exhausted and felt safe with her son by her side, Liu Yiru didn't wake up when Ye Fei came and went.

Ye Fei didn't disturb her either. He quietly undressed and slipped into bed, holding his mom's fragrant, sexy body as he drifted off to sleep.
