Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Ding-dong.

Hearing the doorbell, Mr. Tang, who was chatting with the Ye family father and son, smiled and said, "It must be Feiyan and the others!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Simin, who had been composed, immediately became restless.

"Look at this kid..." Ye Zhenglin shook his head with a smile and scolded, "He's really never seen the world!"

However, Mr. Tang secretly nodded at Ye Simin's reaction, thinking that if Ye Simin was so nervous and attentive to his daughter, Feiyan wouldn't suffer if she married him in the future.

Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Ye were busy in the kitchen, preparing a sumptuous lunch. Since Mr. Tang, who liked to do everything himself, hadn't hired a maid, this government official had to get up and open the door for the younger generation himself.

"Dad..." As soon as the door opened, Tang Feiyan rushed into Mr. Tang's arms. This newly married woman was filled with emotion. Dad, do you know your well-behaved daughter, whom you've raised for over twenty years, now belongs to someone else...

Although Mr. Tang didn't know why his daughter was suddenly so affectionate, he was still greatly comforted. He patted Tang Feiyan's head, glanced at Ye Simin, who was staring dumbfoundedly, and laughed, "Alright, girl, you're all grown up but still so clingy. Be careful or people will laugh at you..."

Ye Simin was naturally staring at Tan Ailing beside Tang Feiyan, but Mr. Tang didn't notice and missed the true focus of his gaze.

"Hello, Uncle Tang..." Tan Ailing and Eric greeted politely.

"Good, good! Come in and sit..."

At the entrance stood Ye Simin.

"Come on, Feiyan, let me introduce you..." Mr. Tang said with a smile.

"No need, Dad, I know him!" Tang Feiyan stopped her father and glared at Ye Simin unfriendly, "What are you doing at my house?"

Mr. Tang frowned and scolded, "Feiyan, how can you be so rude..."

"Dad, you don't know how annoying this guy is!" Tang Feiyan, instead of listening to the reprimand, spoke confidently, "If he weren't Uncle Ye's son, I would have beaten him up long ago!"

Hearing his daughter say such things, Mr. Tang couldn't help but feel a mix of shock and anger, "Feiyan, you..."

"Tang, take it easy..." It was Ye Zhenglin who couldn't sit still and walked over.

"Oh, Uncle Ye, you're here too..." Tang Feiyan, who had just criticized his son, didn't feel embarrassed at all and greeted him warmly.

"Haha, not only am I here, but your Aunt Ye is here too!" Ye Zhenglin seemed unbothered, first nodding to Tan Ailing and Eric, then laughing, "Come on, everyone, sit down and tell Uncle Ye how this rascal has been bothering you."

After sitting down, Tang Feiyan couldn't wait to complain, "Uncle Ye, you don't know, these days we've been almost driven crazy by your son! At first, he sang love songs and read love poems. Then every morning, he stood at the door with flowers, blocking us from going out. After Eric arrived, he became less brazen, but he still followed us sneakily whenever we went out..."

As Tang Feiyan recounted each incident, even Ye Simin himself was red-faced with shame, let alone Mr. Tang and Ye Zhenglin!

"You rascal, I'll deal with you later!" Ye Zhenglin glared fiercely at Ye Simin, then turned to Tang Feiyan and said, "Feiyan, Uncle Ye promises you that this rascal will never bother you again..."

"Actually, I don't mind; I'm just worried he'll bother Ailing..."

Tang Feiyan's original intent was to say that Ye Simin's target wasn't her but Tan Ailing. However, in Ye Zhenglin's ears, it sounded different. He thought Tang Feiyan didn't mind his son's pursuit but was only concerned about disturbing her friend.

Thinking the marriage proposal might not be a lost cause, Ye Zhenglin felt elated upon hearing Tang Feiyan's "hint" and resolved to teach Simin a few more tricks to win her over without disturbing her friend!

At this moment, Ye Simin sat on the sofa like a scared quail, stealing glances at Tan Ailing and quickly looking away, repeating this pattern. Seeing this, Tang Feiyan grew impatient and pulled Tan Ailing up, saying, "Dad, Uncle Ye, you stay. Ailing and I will go help Mom and Aunt Ye in the kitchen."

The reason for Tang Feiyan's departure was clear to Mr. Tang and Ye Zhenglin. However, because Tang Feiyan and Tan Ailing were sitting together, they didn't realize that Ye Simin's gaze was fixed solely on Tan Ailing.

With laughter coming from the kitchen, Ye Simin's face showed envy and longing, making Ye Zhenglin silently curse "unworthy son" and more determined to personally teach his son the "Thirty-Six Stratagems of Courtship"!

Mr. Tang, seeing the fantasizing expression on Ye Simin's face and the awkward look on Ye Zhenglin's, shook his head and was about to say something to Eric when the phone rang.

"Hello... Mayor Han? Hehe, are you calling me now to come over for a meal? ... What's up? Tell me... Feiyan's friend named Eric? I know, he's right next to me... What?... Alright, I got it, I'll tell him..."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Tang looked slightly confused, thought for a moment, and then said to Eric, "Eric, do you know anyone from a prominent family in the Ming Dynasty?"

Upon hearing Mr. Tang's question, Ye Simin, who didn't know the origins of the Ming Dynasty's prominent families, didn't react much.

But Ye Zhenglin's eyes flashed, and he also stared at Eric intently.

"I don't know! I only know a guy named 'Li Penghao' from a prominent family in the Tang Dynasty..." Although Eric only "knew" Li Penghao, his indifferent tone made Mr. Tang and Ye Zhenglin misunderstand more and more, becoming increasingly curious about his identity.

Just as they were about to inquire indirectly, Tang's mother came out with the dishes and announced that dinner was ready.

At the dinner table, they never found an opportunity to ask because both mothers were constantly connecting the conversation, trying to get Tang Feiyan and Ye Simin to talk.

Unfortunately, despite the mothers' efforts, Tang Feiyan and Ye Simin's relationship remained lukewarm.

After this somewhat helpless lunch, Tang Feiyan, who could see her parents' efforts, was about to pull Tan Ailing away, saying there was something important to do.

Stay updated through empire

Mr. Tang, who couldn't keep them, could only convey Mayor Han's message to Eric, "...someone from a prominent family in the Ming Dynasty wants to meet you at Mingyi Cafe at 2:30 this afternoon!"

"The Ming Dynasty?" Tan Ailing was surprised and looked at Eric with an inquiring gaze.

"I don't know what it's about..." Eric shrugged, "Let's go and see!"

Tan Ailing said in a tone that brooked no refusal, "I'll accompany you!"

With Eric's "teleportation" technique, as long as he didn't encounter Grandmasters who could confine space, he wouldn't need to consider safety issues at all. So, without much thought, he agreed to Tan Ailing's request.

"I want to go too." Tang Feiyan also jumped in.

"Don't you have something important to do?" Mr. Tang frowned at his daughter. He had already seen through her previous excuses.

"What's more important than a friend? I have to accompany Ailing..." After agreeing without hesitation, Tang Feiyan left with Eric and Tan Ailing.

After they left, Mr. Tang, feeling slightly embarrassed, said to Ye Zhenglin and his wife, "Feiyan values friendship..."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Ye Zhenglin, as if not understanding Tang Feiyan's true meaning, looked at her back with great appreciation and sighed, "Nowadays, there are few people who value friendship like Feiyan! That's good... Simin, you must hold onto such a good girl..."

Ye Simin watched Tan Ailing's figure in a daze, completely unaware of what her father was saying. She subconsciously responded, also completely unaware of the relieved smiles on the faces of the four parents after she responded.

"Eric, have you had dealings with people from the Ming Dynasty's prominent families?" Tang Feiyan had a blind trust and admiration for Eric's magic, and she wasn't worried about their safety, just curious.

"No!" Eric shook his head, "The people I know in this world, except for the Great Vehicle Dharma King of Country A, whom you all know, are also known to you all. How could I have dealings with people from the Ming Dynasty's prominent families?"

"It's unlikely!" Eric didn't quite believe it, "Even if Li Penghao wants revenge, it should be someone from the Tang Dynasty's prominent family who comes to me. Why is it the Ming Dynasty's family now?"

"The four major families of the Tang Dynasty's Li family, the Han Dynasty's Liu family, the Ming Dynasty's Zhu family, and the Song Dynasty's Zhao family have intermarried for generations. The current wife of the head of the Ming Dynasty's prominent family is the younger sister of the head of the Tang Dynasty's prominent family!" Tan Ailing seemed to agree with Tang Feiyan's view, "So, as the landlord, the Ming Dynasty's prominent family is likely to stand up for Li Penghao, who is most favored in the Tang Dynasty's prominent family!"

"If my nephew is bullied, as an aunt, I naturally won't sit idly by. This might be a trap banquet." Seeing Tan Ailing also leaning towards her inference, Tang Feiyan was somewhat smug and suggested, "Eric, why not call the four major secret guards and those vampires to join us, to avoid being bullied by the other party due to their numbers..."

"No need..." Eric smiled and said, "Although this date is a bit strange and unpredictable, you don't have to worry! If things go wrong, I'll take you away immediately..."
