Urban Seduction: Housewives Club
Chapter 821 - 821: Fusion of Hearts

"Oh," Gu Xuehan nodded obediently, though she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Truthfully, the jewelry store wasn't particularly high-end, and what she wanted wasn't something expensive.

As long as it was from Ye Fei, even the cheapest copper ring would have made her happy. Unfortunately, the oblivious Ye Fei hadn't yet realized this.

"Pfft, if you can't afford it, just say so. 'Something better'? Yeah, right!"

Just as Ye Fei and Gu Xuehan were about to leave, a voice filled with disdain came from the side.

Turning around, they saw a heavily made-up woman clinging to a man's arm, sneering at them.

"Oh, Sister Hong, what a coincidence to see you here," Gu Xuehan greeted the woman coolly, clearly recognizing her. She then whispered to Ye Fei, "She's a new hire at the company. She played a minor role in one of our recent films."

Ye Fei nodded, realizing the woman was likely jealous of Gu Xuehan and trying to show off her status. He had no interest in dealing with such people, especially since the man beside her was eyeing Gu Xuehan in a way that disgusted him.

"Let's go," he said.

However, the woman, seemingly intent on provoking them, caught up and grabbed Gu Xuehan's arm.

"Gu Xuehan, don't leave so soon. Even if you can't afford anything, just looking can be fun, right? Isn't that so, darling?" she said, clinging to the man in a display of intimacy.

To everyone's surprise, the man pushed Sister Hong aside and flashed what he thought was his most sincere smile at Gu Xuehan.

"It's no problem. If there's anything you like, just let me know. I'll buy it for you. By the way, I'm Wu Erqi, one of the so-called 'Four Young Masters of Wanghai.'"

The moment he introduced himself, the onlookers gasped. The name Wu Erqi was legendary in their circles.

Back in the day, under Ye Yu's leadership, the "Four Young Masters" had been a force to be reckoned with.

Though their influence had waned since Ye Yu's death, they were still far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

What puzzled everyone was why such a prominent figure would be in this small store, fawning over a girl with an alternative style.

Wu Erqi had a good eye for women. Even though Gu Xuehan's face was half-hidden by oversized sunglasses, he could still see her stunning beauty.

When Sister Hong called out her name, Wu Erqi immediately recognized her. After all, he had been trying to get close to the real beauties of the entertainment industry through women like Sister Hong.

Gu Xuehan had heard of the "Four Young Masters of Wanghai."

In the past, she might have been as shocked as the onlookers.

But now?

Her man was none other than the legend of Wanghai himself. How could these spoiled brats compare?

Without a second thought, she ignored Wu Erqi and continued walking out with Ye Fei.

As for Ye Fei, he couldn't be bothered with the man.

Though Wu Erqi had once been under Ye Yu's command, Ye Yu was long gone, and this guy was nothing more than a spoiled playboy. He wasn't even worth Ye Fei's time.

Unfortunately, some people are destined to dig their graves. Seeing Gu Xuehan ignore him, Wu Erqi's pride took a hit.

He muttered loud enough for her to hear, "If you're going to sell yourself, at least find someone with money, not some poor loser."

Gu Xuehan froze at his words, her face paling. Her tough upbringing had made her stronger than most girls, and she rarely cared about others' opinions.

But Ye Fei was the exception. She knew without a doubt that she loved Ye Fei for who he was, not his wealth or status.

Yet, she feared others—especially Ye Fei—might think otherwise. This poor girl couldn't help but feel a bit insecure when it came to the man she loved.

Ye Fei, fully aware of Gu Xuehan's feelings, felt a surge of anger stronger than anything he'd felt before.

He turned and walked up to Wu Erqi, his voice icy. "When the King of Hell asks why you died, tell him it's because you couldn't keep your mouth shut."

"Who the hell do you think you are—" Wu Erqi sneered, ready to insult Ye Fei, but his voice trailed off as he got a clear look at Ye Fei's face. His eyes widened in terror, and he stammered, "Ye—"

Before Wu Erqi could finish, Ye Fei slapped him across the face. Wu Erqi collapsed to the ground without a sound, unmoving.

"He… he's dead!" someone shouted after checking Wu Erqi's pulse. The crowd stared in shock, terrified that Ye Fei might go on a rampage. Sister Hong screamed hysterically.

Under everyone's gaze, Ye Fei didn't leave immediately. He returned to Gu Xuehan, who was also stunned and sighed.

"Well, I accidentally killed him, and in front of so many people. I'll probably end up in prison. Gu Xuehan, can I ask you for a favor?"

"What?" Gu Xuehan asked, still in shock.

"You'll soon be the young master of the Sunflower Sect, while I'll be a murderer. Even with my family's connections, I'll likely spend years in prison. Promise me you'll wait for me and not fall for anyone else, okay?" Ye Fei said with a pained expression.

Gu Xuehan was stunned and then felt a wave of indignation.

Tears streaming down her face, she said, "What kind of person do you think I am?" But then she noticed a meaningful smile on Ye Fei's face, completely devoid of the earlier sorrow.

At that moment, Gu Xuehan understood Ye Fei's true intentions and his heart. Overwhelmed with joy, she threw herself into his arms, playfully hitting his chest.

"How can you joke at a time like this?" she scolded. The lingering insecurity in her heart vanished, and their souls fused in perfect harmony.

"How carefree of you, Young Master Ye. Just after causing a scene, you're here flirting with a girl!" A cold, slightly mocking voice interrupted them.

Ye Fei turned and was stunned to see the speaker—none other than Leng Yan, the newly appointed head of the anti-gang unit at the Wanghai Police Department. Her icy demeanor and sharp tongue were unmistakable.
