Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Liu Yiru sharing a blanket with Ye Fei wasn't too awkward, and Chen Yourong wasn't much of an issue either, since Miao Chan, who shared with her, was also Ye Fei's woman.

The most uncomfortable one was Shui Ying, as she had shared a blanket with her junior sister, Shui Rou. If Shui Rou noticed anything, Shui Ying would be mortified.

Fortunately, the ambiguous hand-holding from the night before had left Shui Rou feeling a bit guilty in front of her senior sister. Plus, the way Ye Fei looked at her—gentle yet teasing—made her too flustered to notice the unusual scent in the air.

Since everyone had slept in their clothes and all the women harbored feelings for Ye Fei, there wasn't much awkwardness. They quickly got up, and Ye Fei stored all the bedding in his storage space.

After all, it bore traces of his mother's and the others' intimate moments, and he wasn't about to let anyone else come into contact with it.

The women, whether they knew the truth or not, were used to Ye Fei's seemingly magical abilities, so no one questioned it. After tidying up, they left the place that, though they had only stayed for one night, had left their hearts racing.

Although the snow hadn't fully melted, the main roads had been cleared overnight. After walking a short distance, Ye Fei and the group managed to hail a few taxis and headed straight for the airport.

Meanwhile, Xu Zhiyun, who was waiting at the airport, ran into some trouble. Despite Ye Fei telling her when they'd arrive, her longing to see him had kept her from returning to her dorm. Instead, she waited at the airport entrance.

With the martial arts conference over, the tourists and martial artists stranded by the snow had begun to leave. Even though it was still early, the airport was already bustling with people.

Xu Zhiyun was a stunning beauty, one in a million, and after being "enlightened" by Ye Fei, she had become even more radiant. But what truly stood out was her ethereal, pure aura.

Paired with her striking flight attendant uniform, she was undoubtedly the most beautiful sight at the airport, drawing admiring glances from everyone who passed by, regardless of gender.

These looks made Xu Zhiyun uncomfortable, but she chose to ignore them, determined to see Ye Fei as soon as possible. However, while she could ignore others, not everyone could ignore her. Most people simply appreciated the rare beauty and moved on, but there's always that one jerk who can't take a hint.

Lian Chengbi, the young master of the Lian Family Fort in Jiangnan, had attended the martial arts conference with his father. After the event, he stayed in Wushi instead of leaving with his father.

It must be said, his father had a sense of humor, giving him a rather amusing name. Lian Chengbi, however, didn't live up to his father's hopes. Unlike the fictional Lian Chengbi, who was a hypocrite, this guy was an outright villain—a bully through and through.

He had stayed in Wushi hoping to flaunt his martial arts skills, as martial artists weren't usually allowed to mingle in the secular world. But Wushi was an exception, being fully open to martial artists during this time. However, Lian Chengbi quickly realized he couldn't show off here.

This wasn't his small hometown, and there were plenty of other martial artists around. As the young master of a minor family, he couldn't make much of an impact. He had planned to leave but was delayed by the snow.

Feeling extremely frustrated, Lian Chengbi's mood brightened when he saw Xu Zhiyun. As a martial artist and a playboy, he had seen his share of beauties, but someone as stunning as Xu Zhiyun was rare. Her pure, innocent aura especially captivated him.

Seeing her flight attendant uniform, Lian Chengbi dismissed any concerns. In his mind, a mere flight attendant wouldn't have any powerful connections, and other martial artists wouldn't risk offending the Lian Family Fort over a secular beauty. So, he decided to make his move.

"Hello, beautiful lady. I'm Lian Chengbi. Would you honor me with breakfast?" Ignoring the disdainful looks from others, Lian Chengbi approached Xu Zhiyun, striking what he thought was a charming pose.

Xu Zhiyun glanced at him coldly and didn't respond, simply stepping back to distance herself from this unpleasant man.

Yes, unpleasant. Xu Zhiyun, though incredibly pure, wasn't naive. She was quite intelligent. Her purity allowed her to see through people's intentions more clearly than those tainted by the world. She had seen that predatory look in men's eyes before—even Ye Fei had given her such a look once, on that flight. Back then, besides feeling a bit scared, she had secretly been pleased. But with anyone other than Ye Fei, that look only disgusted her.

Seeing the pure beauty ignore him, Lian Chengbi repeated his invitation, though his tone now carried a hint of impatience.

Martial artists, though not allowed to interfere in the secular world, still needed to survive. Many used their skills to benefit their families. The Lian Family Fort wasn't a major sect, but in their small city, they were a prominent family.

As the young master, Lian Chengbi was used to gold-digging women throwing themselves at him. This pure beauty treating him like a predator was a blow to his ego, and he wasn't used to rejection.

"I don't know you," Xu Zhiyun said timidly, taking a few more steps back. She had been sheltered her entire life. After starting work, she encountered one instance of harassment, but Bai You'er quickly resolved it. Since then, Bai You'er has always been there to protect her whenever she was in Wushi. But now, with neither Ye Fei nor Bai You'er by her side, she felt lost and unsure how to handle the situation.

If Xu Zhiyun had been more assertive, Lian Chengbi might have backed off, as there were other martial artists around. But her delicate, vulnerable demeanor only made him more determined, and he dropped all pretense of courtesy.

"It's fine if you don't know me. Haven't you heard? First meeting, second acquaintance, third time's the charm. We'll get to know each other better soon enough," Lian Chengbi sneered, stepping closer.

Xu Zhiyun was shocked by his shamelessness. Panicked, she quickly backed away, her eyes darting toward the entrance. At that moment, she missed Ye Fei more than ever. If he were here, no one would dare bully her.
