Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 45 A Hint of Sorrow



Although she didn't think she had done anything wrong back then, there was still a tinge of guilt towards Ye Ningxue in her heart.

Many times she had wanted to reconcile with them, but Ye Ningxue's attitude was rather firm, leading to this prolonged subtle conflict. Now, seeing Ye Ningsuan say this, although she said it with a smile, Liu Yiru still felt a bit nervous, fearing that any misunderstanding might affect the relationship between the Liu and Ye families.

Seeing how a casual joke made Liu Yiru so nervous, Ye Ningsuan couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. It seemed that over the years, her sisters had indeed been a bit too much.

Even if Liu Fengyi hadn't done anything wrong back then, even if she had, given the power of the Liu family, they didn't need to compromise with her like this. They did so for the stability of the two major families and also out of consideration for their past friendship. Realizing this, Ye Ningsuan suddenly apologized to Liu Yiru, "Yiru, I'm sorry, we've been too much over the years."

Liu Yiru was momentarily surprised, then understood what she meant. Happily, she grabbed her hand and said, "Between us sisters, do we still need to say these things? As long as Ningxue no longer holds a grudge against Siqi, that's the best thing. Let's continue to be good sisters like before."

"Okay." Ye Ningsuan nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to explain things to Xue'er." Even if it wasn't for their past friendship, just for Ye Fei's sake, Ye Ningsuan would do her utmost to ensure harmony in this large family.

Achieving reconciliation with Ye Ningsuan unexpectedly brought great joy to Liu Yiru, dispelling the heaviness accumulated from recent covert actions against her. Waving to Ye Fei and Ye Yunqi, she said, "Both of you little ones, hurry off to class. I want to have a good chat with your aunt."

Ye Fei had anticipated this outcome, but Ye Yunqi was pleasantly surprised. She happily responded and pulled Ye Fei inside the school.

As they climbed the stairs, she suddenly thought of something and asked Ye Fei, "Brother, why did Aunt suddenly reconcile with Mom? Did you do something?"

She was an extremely clever girl. After spending two days with Ye Ningsuan, she had noticed the change in her aunt's attitude and guessed that her brother had persuaded their aunt.

Ye Fei didn't want to hide anything from her and nodded, "Yes, I went to Aunt's house this time to resolve the conflict between them."

"Brother, you are so great!" Ye Yunqi cheered and hugged Ye Fei, planting a kiss on his cheek. She smiled and said, "Now everything is fine. Finally, all our relatives can live in peace."

Ye Fei smiled wryly, "Things are not as simple as you think. The crux of the matter lies with our Second Aunt. Only when we persuade her will we truly achieve our goal."

"Second Aunt? What's going on with her? Brother, did you find out about what happened between them back then?" Like Ye Fei, Ye Yunqi was extremely curious about the relationships between their mothers, aunts, and aunties.

"I did find out some things," Ye Fei nodded, "But I promised Aunt that I wouldn't tell anyone about this."

"Hmph, not even me?" Ye Yunqi grumbled, but then leaned in close to Ye Fei's ear and whispered, "Good brother, just tell me, okay? I'll let you have your way tonight!"

Ye Fei chuckled, "Don't act so aggrieved. It seems like you're the one who wants it."

"Hmph! You're the one who wants it!" Ye Yunqi's face reddened as Ye Fei hit the nail on the head. Having experienced that kind of feeling just now, she had been feeling stifled at home these past few days. She had developed a special trust in Ye Fei.

If Ye Fei were to go to the military camp for two months now, Ye Yunqi felt she might not be able to bear it. Unconsciously, her feelings towards Ye Fei seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

Ye Fei laughed, "I'm a man, how could I be a 'small color girl'? So, the 'small color girl' can only be you."

"Hmph, then you're the little pervert!" Ye Yunqi retorted, refusing to accept it.

"Well, that's perfect then," Ye Fei chuckled, "The little pervert and the little vixen make a perfect pair!"

A perfect pair? A sudden thought crossed Ye Yunqi's mind, and she felt a subtle sensation rushing to her heart. Unable to tell if it was sadness or joy, she could sense a faint feeling of happiness, and softly said, "Brother, can we always be together in the future?"

Ye Fei was momentarily stunned. Like Ye Yunqi, his feelings towards his younger sister had undergone some changes in these few days. Initially not thinking much about it, but when Ye Yunqi voiced this thought, Ye Fei felt a bit perplexed.

Of course, he also wanted to be with Ye Yunqi forever, but was it possible? She was his twin sister, and she was still so young. There was a long road ahead for her. Could he selfishly keep her by his side?

Perhaps sensing Ye Fei's thoughts, Ye Yunqi's mood also became a bit subdued. Letting out a sigh, she, who had always been cheerful, finally tasted a hint of sorrow. She didn't like this feeling, suddenly feeling some resentment towards the natural order. Why do people have to grow up? If one could stay at sixteen forever, wouldn't it be stress-free to be with him?

Shaking his head vigorously, Ye Fei shook off the confused feeling in his heart with determination, deciding not to dwell on this somewhat melancholic matter for now. He forced out a smile and said, "Didn't you want to hear about what happened between our mothers back then? I'll tell you now."

"Oh," Ye Yunqi responded indifferently, completely devoid of the earlier curiosity.

Ye Fei felt a bit helpless, but still recounted the past events between Ye Ningxue and Liu Fengyi to her, hoping to shift her thoughts to this matter.

After listening, Ye Yunqi remained expressionless, simply nodding lightly to indicate she understood, and didn't speak further.

Ye Fei couldn't help but feel some self-reproach. Ye Yunqi had just mentioned it casually, he could have just casually agreed, why did he have to overthink it and end up making her feel troubled too?

Unconsciously, the two had been standing in the corridor for quite some time. Although passersby were curious about why they were standing there, Ye Yunqi's fierce reputation prevented anyone from approaching them.

Letting out a sigh, Ye Fei took Ye Yunqi's hand and said, "It's almost time for class, let's go up first."
