Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 71: Touching Ye Fei

Yaya continued to smile, ”But you also look like a pretty girl, hehe!”

Ye Fei couldnʼt help but smile wryly. It seemed that Zimao was right. This Yaya indeed had a mischievous side. Didnʼt he look quite masculine?

Even though his facial features might appear somewhat gentle, from his dressing style and extremely short hair, it should be quite evident that he was male.

Yayaʼs words amused Ye Yunqi, who pointed at Lin Ling, ”If you mistake my brother for a girl, my sister-in-law wonʼt be happy.”

Previously, Ye Yunqi and Lin Ling used to address each other by their names, considering Lin Ling and Ye Fei were engaged. However, being a few months younger than Ye Yunqi, they found it awkward to address each other, so it was the first time Ye Yunqi called Lin Ling his sister-in-law, especially in front of so many people.

Although everyone was aware of Lin Lingʼs relationship with Ye Fei, she still blushed and playfully scolded Ye Yunqi, giving him a white look.

Despite feeling a bit embarrassed, she found it somewhat sweet after witnessing a side of Ye Fei that was previously unknown to her.

For the first time, she felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. Could she really have such an outstanding man all to herself? Could it be true what Ye Yunqi had said, that many women would come to compete for Ye Fei?

When Ye Yunqi mentioned this before, she had taken it as a joke. Even though everything he said was true, she had never thought that besides her, anyone else would like someone like Ye Fei, who seemed somewhat useless.

But now things were different. Today, she learned that Ye Fei also had this side to him. So, for a moment, she felt a mix of anxiety and insecurity.

Ye Fei sat beside Lin Ling and noticed her change in expression. Although he didnʼt know what was on her mind, it was clear she was feeling uneasy. He reached out and held her slightly cold hand, softly asking, ”Whatʼs wrong?”

Lin Ling gently shook her head, feeling somewhat self-mocking. Having grown up with Ye Fei, she knew him better than anyone. She knew that even if he developed feelings for another woman, he wouldnʼt give up on her.

So, why worry so much? She smiled faintly and said, ”I was just thinking that the children here are living a tough life. If we canʼt help them, I would feel guilty.”

Lin Ling voiced what she had been thinking, and Ye Fei reassured her, ”Donʼt worry, I have a plan to help them.”

”Whatʼs your plan? Tell me,” Lin Ling asked curiously. She had been pondering this issue as well, but aside from involving the Liu and Ye families, she couldnʼt think of a good solution. She was surprised that Ye Fei already had a plan.

Lin Ling had a much harder childhood compared to Ye Fei and Ye Yunqi. Her mother, grateful for the support from the Ye family, wanted Lin Ling to become a valuable asset to them. Therefore, she started teaching Lin Ling about business from a young age. Despite Liu Yiruʼs advice against it, Lin Ling persisted.

Lin Ling was a sensible child. Understanding her motherʼs intentions, she willingly learned these skills. Currently, she might lack practical experience, but in terms of theoretical knowledge, she was on par with seasoned business professionals.

Ye Fei was well aware of this. When Lin Ling asked, he explained his plan and sought her advice.

After listening to Ye Fei, Lin Ling fell into deep thought. With Ye Yunqi chatting happily with Yaya and the others showing great respect towards Ye Fei and Lin Ling, there was no one to disturb them.

Lin Ling, having a good grasp of business concepts despite lacking practical experience, pointed out the key issues, expressing her concerns regarding the lack of funds and skilled personnel for starting a company.

Although Lin Ling had no real experience in running a company, she spoke confidently, displaying a mature demeanor. Ye Fei, captivated by her seriousness, even saw a glimpse of his goddess in her. He stared at her face, somewhat mesmerized.

Seeing Ye Feiʼs dumbfounded expression after her analysis, Lin Ling thought he was disappointed because of her words. Feeling sorry for him, she said, ”Ye Fei, donʼt be like this. We can come up with another plan. You know Iʼve been learning these things from my mom since I was young. How about I help you manage? In terms of money, if we combine what weʼve saved along with Yunqiʼs, we must have over a million by now. If we start small, it might work. But I lack experience, so I might not do well.”

Lin Lingʼs words touched Ye Fei deeply. This girl had always been like this since childhood, considering others before herself, never planning for her own sake.

To have such a girl by his side, Ye Fei couldnʼt help but feel blessed, wondering if it was the culmination of lifetimes of good fortune. Yet, at the same time, he found himself still in love with another girl.

This realization filled Ye Fei with remorse. He silently vowed that in this lifetime, having Lin Ling and Ye Yunqi would be sufficient. Perhaps he could also console Ye Ningsuan occasionally, but he promised himself not to covet other women anymore.

Little did he know, once fate intervened, his own intentions might not be enough to control the outcome.

Previously, Ye Fei had considered having Lin Ling manage the company he envisioned. However, as she herself pointed out, her lack of experience made it challenging to handle a large corporation right from the start.

But that wasnʼt the primary reason why Ye Fei had initially rejected her idea. He knew that managing a large company was exhausting, as evident from how busy his goddess often was, barely able to spare time for her family.

He didnʼt want the person he cared about to endure such hardship. Although he couldnʼt influence Liu Yiruʼs decisions at the moment, he could at least spare Lin Ling from these burdens.

”You donʼt need to worry about these things. Money isnʼt an issue, as for personnel...” Ye Fei trailed off, turning his head towards the door. ”Theyʼre here.”

Lin Ling was puzzled by Ye Feiʼs words and followed his gaze outside, only to see a woman entering through the door.
