Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Of course, Shui Ying never suspected that Ye Fei had been sent by those people on purpose. It made no sense for them to send someone who had nothing to do with her. Besides, that guy wouldn't be foolish enough to use a "pretty boy scheme" on her.

So, this young man was just an unrelated person. But precisely because of that, Shui Ying felt even more puzzled.

"No idea. I'm still confused, and I don't even know who captured me," Ye Fei said, genuinely bewildered. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't figure out who had taken him.

If it were his enemies, why didn't they just kill him? They hadn't even bothered to ask him any questions.

And to think they locked him up with a super beauty who was no less stunning than his mom. This prisoner treatment was way too good.

"This is the dungeon of the Shuiyue Palace. It's a hidden martial arts sect. Think about it. Do you have any connection with them?" Shui Ying asked.

Although this young man should have nothing to do with her, she still wanted to get to the bottom of things.

During the eighteen years she had been imprisoned here, she could only talk to the disciples who brought her food and some daily necessities.

So, having this young man to chat with was a nice change. But first, she had to figure out his background.

"Shuiyue Palace? Martial arts sect?" Ye Fei frowned slightly.

"I'm pretty well-versed in the affairs of the Martial Alliance, but I've never heard of this sect."

"You know the Martial Alliance?" Shui Ying was initially surprised, but then she understood.

Since Ye Fei had been captured by Shuiyue Palace, he must have some connection with the martial world. Knowing about the small Martial Alliance wasn't strange at all. She smiled faintly and said, "Shuiyue Palace is a hidden sect. It's not under the jurisdiction of the Martial Alliance."

Although Shui Ying spoke indifferently, Ye Fei still noticed her disdain for the Martial Alliance.

This reminded him of the middle-aged couple by the Gu sisters' side.

Could it be that the force behind them had captured him? It seemed possible. But hadn't that couple revealed their strength to him?

Otherwise, they must be asking for trouble. Although they were a level above ordinary martial artists, Ye Fei still had absolute confidence in his own abilities.

Seeing Ye Fei in a thoughtful expression, as if he had figured something out, Shui Ying asked again, "Have you figured out what's going on?"

"I guess you could say that, but I'm not sure yet," Ye Fei nodded first, then shook his head, and asked, "By the way, do you know a girl named Gu Xuehan?"

Although he hadn't fully understood the situation with the Gu sisters, Ye Fei had guessed some things. Those two middle-aged people must be related to their mother.

"Gu Xuehan?" Shui Ying's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she thought for a moment. "I don't know her. I don't have the slightest impression."

Don't know her? Ye Fei then remembered that Shui Ying had been imprisoned here for eighteen years. Gu Xuehan was the same age as him, which meant she hadn't been born yet when Shui Ying was locked up.

So he asked again, "Is there any female disciple in Shuiyue Palace who has secretly married someone? The man probably isn't a martial artist."

"Why do you ask that?" Shui Ying's face changed slightly, showing a bit of tension.

Ye Fei's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Shui Ying knew the mother of the Gu sisters?

Or even that she herself was? After all, she was also incredibly beautiful.

Only such a beauty could have such pretty daughters, right?

As for her claim of being imprisoned for eighteen years, that was just what she said. It was normal to lose track of time in a place like this. So, without hiding anything, he told Shui Ying about the current situation of the Gu sisters, including the help he had given them.

He just didn't mention the name of his company. It wasn't that he still distrusted Shui Ying, but he thought it was unnecessary.

"So that's how it is," Shui Ying nodded, thinking of her own daughters. She wondered how they were doing.

Although she had entrusted her good friend to take care of them before she left, her friend would eventually get married, right?

Without her help, he, being a busy man, might not be able to take good care of the daughters.

Perhaps because thinking of her own daughters made Shui Ying feel a sense of empathy for the Gu sisters, she was sincerely grateful for the help Ye Fei had given them.

For a moment, she felt even more familiar with this boy, who had already seemed somewhat familiar to her. Her gaze towards him was no longer indifferent but softened, and she smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so compassionate."

Shui Ying's behavior, however, disappointed Ye Fei. It seemed he had guessed wrong earlier.

At least Shui Ying had no connection with the mother of the Gu sisters. Hearing her words, he made a wry face and said, "How could I not think of it? Do I look like a bad guy?"

Ye Fei's pitiful expression made Shui Ying feel even more familiar with him. For the first time, she smiled in front of him and teased, "I bet the girls from the Gu family you mentioned are very pretty!"

"They are pretty, but I have no relationship with them now!" Ye Fei explained. Although he didn't mind what others thought, he didn't want to be labeled with a reputation he didn't deserve, making people think he helped them just because he was attracted to their beauty.

"So you're still a gentleman, huh?" Shui Ying laughed.

"What kind of gentleman am I? If I were, I wouldn't have fallen for someone else's trick," Ye Fei said with a wry smile. It wasn't him boasting. If he hadn't been so distracted at the time, with his abilities and mind, how could that woman have succeeded so easily?

"How so? Didn't you fall for some beauty trap?" Shui Ying became interested. Having been locked up in this place for so many years, she had grown accustomed to it but still felt lonely at times. Now, chatting with this boy who felt so familiar to her was quite pleasant.

"It should be called a stranger trap!" Ye Fei smiled bitterly again and told Shui Ying the whole story. Since she felt familiar to him, he had the same feeling towards her and didn't hide anything.

After listening to Ye Fei's story, Shui Ying sighed softly, "It seems I was really wrong. You're not just not a gentleman; you're a little playboy!"

"You don't think I'm wrong too, do you?" Ye Fei said with a wry face. Although the knot in his heart had been untied, he still hoped someone would acknowledge him.
