Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 472: Time Can Heal All Wounds

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

”Truth be told, I knew from the beginning it wasnʼt your momʼs fault. If anything, I was the one who wronged her. But after hearing about your dadʼs death, I didnʼt 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 donʼt hate my mom because youʼve given up on living, right?” Ye Fei looked into Zhuo Fengʼerʼs eyes and said, ”But if you die now, do you think youʼll have the face to meet my dad?”

Zhuo Fengʼer instinctively glanced down at her hips, still stained with a faint trace of blood, and sighed, ”I donʼt have the face to see him because I didnʼt preserve the purity that was meant only for him.”

”Thatʼs not what Iʼm talking about,” Ye Fei thought with a wry smile. It seemed Zhuo Fengʼer 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 Fengʼer asked. Ye Fei was right; if it had been anyone else, she wouldnʼt have cared to listen after sharing her past. But with Ye Fei, she couldnʼt help but want to hear his thoughts.

Ye Fei asked seriously, ”The fact that you were willing to sacrifice your happiness to fulfill my dadʼs wish back then shows that you wanted him to achieve his goal, doesnʼt it?”

”Thatʼs correct,” Zhuo Fengʼer 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 youʼre honoring him?” Ye Fei questioned.

Zhuo Fengʼer replied in confusion, ”But the Lingyun Association has far exceeded his expectations, all thanks to your efforts.”

”Thatʼs just my achievement, and you havenʼt contributed anything,” Ye Fei first downplayed Zhuo Fengʼerʼs 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 donʼt 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 Fengʼer was taken aback. Although she was a successful businesswoman, she wasnʼt well-versed in the underworld, so she instinctively believed Ye Fei.

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

Having long considered Ye Lingyunʼs goal her own and feeling an unbreakable bond with the name ”Lingyun,” Zhuo Fengʼer became anxious, ”What should we do?”

”There is a way,” Ye Fei said. ”You can come to the Lingyun Association and help. Although youʼve given your assets to that guy, your management skills remain. Together, we can fulfill my dadʼs wish. How about that?”

Zhuo Fengʼer was stunned at first, then became resolute, nodding, ”Alright! Letʼs work together!”

Seeing that Zhuo Fengʼer 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 wasnʼt 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 Fengʼerʼs body would no longer be able to deny him.

Being at the peak of her physical needs, sometimes her mind couldnʼt 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 Fengʼerʼs mood was no longer bleak. Returning to her usual state, she realized in an unintentional movement that she was still naked in Ye Feiʼs embrace.

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

Although eager to start his plan to win her over, Ye Fei knew he couldnʼt rush things. After climaxing five times in a row, Zhuo Fengʼer probably couldnʼt handle another round. So, he quickly got dressed, sat down by the bed, and looked at Zhuo Fengʼer with affection. He said softly, ”Once youʼve rested, go directly to the Lingyun Association headquarters in Wang Hai City. Find Uncle De when you get there. Iʼll tell him what to do.”

Without waiting for her response, he got up and left the room. It wasnʼt that he didnʼt 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 Feiʼs tall figure leave, Zhuo Fengʼer 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 didnʼt leave immediately.

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

After hearing this, Ling Yun burst into tears and, that very night transferred his assets back to Zhuo Fengʼer. 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 didnʼt wake up when Ye Fei came and went.

Ye Fei didnʼt disturb her either. He quietly undressed and slipped into bed, holding his momʼs fragrant, sexy body as he drifted off to sleep.
