Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

At that moment, everyone felt a sudden pressure, and their ears buzzed as the plane took off. Soon, it soared into the clouds.

Though they had flown once before, it had been at a low altitude. Now, looking out the window at the clouds seemingly beneath them, Ye Zhilin couldn't contain her excitement. Her cheerful laughter filled the otherwise quiet first-class cabin.

Though it was a bit noisy, no one complained. Most of the first-class passengers were martial artists who wouldn't dare criticize the alliance leader. Besides, her laughter was a pleasant sound to hear.

Several hours later, the plane landed at Wanghai Airport. Stepping off the plane, everyone except Xu Zhiyun felt a bit uncomfortable. The temperature difference between Wushi and Wanghai was nearly 20 degrees. After getting used to the cold, the sudden warmth was jarring.

Of course, going from warm Wanghai to cold Wushi would have been even worse. It was just a matter of adjustment.

After leaving the airport, they didn't head straight to the Liu family villa. With so many people, the house wouldn't accommodate everyone. Instead, they checked into a hotel to settle in before visiting the villa.

Since they hadn't informed the family of their return, no one came to pick them up. They took several taxis to the nearest Ye family hotel, where they booked deluxe suites for everyone except Liu Yiru and Shui Ying.

After getting everyone settled, they prepared to head to the villa. But just as they were about to leave the hotel, Ye Fei froze. He had spotted a somewhat familiar figure leaving the hotel.

An overwhelming sense of discomfort and unease washed over Ye Fei. Though he had never experienced it before, he knew it was jealousy.

Yes, jealousy. The figure was none other than Chai Song, the husband of his aunt Liu Fengyi. Chai Song was a typical intellectual, working at a research institute in the capital. He usually only returned to Wanghai for a few days during the New Year. But this year, he had come back unexpectedly, and during Ye Fei's absence.

Though Ye Fei had confidence in Liu Fengyi, he didn't trust Chai Song at all. After all, they were legally married. Who knew if Chai Song had taken advantage of Ye Fei's absence to make a move? The thought drove Ye Fei nearly mad.

Liu Yiru noticed her son's troubled expression and asked with concern, "Ye Fei, what's wrong?" The fleeting figure of Chai Song had gone unnoticed by the others.

Ye Fei couldn't let them know about this. Suppressing the urge to rush out, he said calmly, "It's nothing. I have something to take care of. You all go ahead."

"Alright," Liu Yiru agreed without hesitation. Her son was no longer the little boy who relied on her for everything. He was now the leader of a powerful group. It wasn't unusual for him to have matters to attend to after being away for over ten days. She didn't press further and led the others away.

Once the women were gone, Ye Fei exited the hotel from another direction, his anxiety growing. He noticed that Chai Song was heading toward Wanghai Tower. Ye Fei immediately hailed a taxi and directed it there, knowing Liu Fengyi would likely be inside.

The short half-hour ride felt like an eternity to Ye Fei. When the taxi stopped at the main entrance of Wanghai Tower, Ye Fei tossed all the cash in his wallet to the driver and sprinted toward the building, leaving the driver stunned.

As the central hub for all government offices in Wanghai, Wanghai Tower was heavily guarded. Even though it was just past 1 p.m. and not yet working hours, Ye Fei was stopped by the security guards.

"I have an urgent matter to see Mayor Liu. Please let me in," Ye Fei said, frowning.

"I'm sorry, but it's still break time. Mayor Liu is resting. Please come back later," one of the guards replied. Though Ye Fei was Liu Fengyi's nephew, he had never entered through the main gate before. His previous visits had been through secretive means, so the guards didn't recognize him.

Ye Fei felt the urge to lash out at the guards but understood they were just doing their jobs. He tried again, "Then could you call Zhou Mingming for me?"

The guard shook his head. "Sorry, Secretary Zhou is away on a business trip."

Frustrated and anxious, Ye Fei was about to force his way in when a melodious voice called out from behind him, "What's going on?"

"Deputy Mayor Song, this young man says he has an urgent matter to see Mayor Liu, but it still breaks time, so we didn't let him in," the guard explained respectfully, then turned to Ye Fei. "Young man, this is Deputy Mayor Song Xuan. You can discuss your matter with her."

Ye Fei turned around. Despite his urgency, he couldn't help but be struck by the woman's beauty. Her face was like a full moon, with delicate features—arched eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a straight nose, and a perfect mouth. She was a stunning beauty, on par with the women in his life.

Seeing Ye Fei's face, the woman smiled faintly and said, "So you're Ye Fei. I'm Song Xuan, the newly appointed second deputy mayor of Wanghai. I'm good friends with your aunt and have heard a lot about you."

Deputy mayor? Ye Fei took a closer look. The woman was about 1.7 meters tall, with a voluptuous figure—full breasts, a slim waist, and long legs. Her allure was enough to captivate any man. But what surprised Ye Fei wasn't her sexy figure but her age. Though her hair was styled up and she wore frameless glasses, giving her a mature appearance, Ye Fei guessed she couldn't be older than 30.

In Wanghai, the most powerful figure was Mayor Liu Fengyi, who held overall authority. Below her was the first deputy mayor, Ye Fei's beautiful submissive Zhang Linxin, who oversaw personnel. Next was the second deputy mayor, responsible for the economic development of this international metropolis—a position of significant power.

For Song Xuan, a woman under 30, to hold this position, wasn't just about ability. She must have an incredibly powerful background. Ye Fei couldn't help but wonder if she, like Zhang Linxin, was here to cause trouble for his aunt.

Lost in thought, Ye Fei didn't realize how inappropriate his behavior appeared. To outsiders, it looked like he was staring intently at Song Xuan, his gaze fixed on her ample chest.

Song Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of disgust. She awkwardly hugged her folder to block Ye Fei's view and said, "If you need to see your aunt, why not call her?"

"Ah? Oh, right, I should call her," Ye Fei muttered, pretending to search for his phone. He couldn't explain that he was here to "catch" his aunt in the act.

"Never mind. I know you. Just go up," Song Xuan said, though her eyes showed even more disappointment. She had only been in Wanghai for a week but had already formed a good relationship with Mayor Liu Fengyi. She had heard much about Ye Fei, the so-called "legend of Wanghai." But now, meeting him in person, she was thoroughly unimpressed.

Ye Fei didn't realize his behavior had turned off a woman who had initially been curious about him. Even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared. This stunning beauty, though undeniably attractive, paled in comparison to his beloved aunt in his heart.

Taking the elevator to the mayor's office on the second-to-top floor of Wanghai Tower, Ye Fei hesitated before knocking on the door.
