Conquest of Taboo and Debauchery

Chapter 147: 147: Ambiguity at the Beach

Ye Fei felt that the phrase "as beautiful as a lotus and skin as exquisite as jade" was the most fitting to describe the woman before him. Despite growing up under her care, seeing Xiao Hanyue like this still amazed him.

Xiao Hanyue had always been very serious about her work. In Ye Fei's memories, she mostly wore professional suits or elegant dresses at formal gatherings. Though always beautiful, she often seemed too stern. But today, she was dressed in a white casual outfit—an unusual choice for her. The soft casual wear made her seem less formal and added a charming allure.

This well-fitting outfit accentuated her mature figure, making her even more attractive.

As Ye Fei looked at this mature and captivating future mother-in-law, he found himself momentarily dazed, staring at her. Fortunately, Lin Ling was preoccupied with Ye Yunqi and Ye Jing, chatting and not noticing his lapse.

However, Xiao Hanyue noticed. When she caught Ye Fei's gaze, as if he were ready to devour her, she glared at him sharply. Ye Fei quickly snapped out of it, giving an awkward smile before turning to talk to Lin Ling and the others.

Xiao Hanyue was somewhat taken aback by Ye Fei's look. While this wasn't the first time she caught him staring, she didn't dwell on it. She had known him since he was a child and, like many others, still viewed him as a kid. Despite witnessing his impressive strength recently, she still couldn't quite see him as a full-grown man.

Still, seeing his fascinated expression did bring her some satisfaction—proof that her charm had not diminished. She, like any other beautiful woman, took pride in her looks. Even without anyone to actively impress, it was comforting to know her allure remained. A part of her was pleased after seeing Ye Fei's reaction.

After gathering her thoughts, Xiao Hanyue looked at the group gathered by the door. She smiled and said, "Are you planning to chat here all day?"

Lin Ling seemed to snap back to reality and quickly responded, "Yes, yes, let's go inside and talk." Ye Fei's visit had delighted her so much that she almost forgot herself.

Although Xiao Hanyue was the second-in-command at the Liu Group and lived in a luxurious villa, both she and Lin Ling were far from extravagant. The living room was simple, casually furnished with modular furniture, which made the spacious room seem somewhat empty. This simplicity was part of why Ye Fei liked them.

If they had been the kind of people who showed off wealth without restraint, relying on the Liu family name, Ye Fei would not have had the same fondness for them.

They moved into the living room and settled on the sofa. Ye Jing, feeling particularly close to Ye Fei, sat beside him while Ye Yunqi gave the spot on the other side to Lin Ling. Now, whatever she did, Ye Yunqi always thought of Ye Fei first, before herself. Her affection for him had become deeply ingrained in her.

Since Ye Fei and his sisters had arrived late, it was already nearing noon. After a while of chatting, Xiao Hanyue went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Without her mother around, Lin Ling felt less reserved, leaning gently against Ye Fei. She gazed at his handsome face and softly said, "Brother Ye, thank you."

Ye Fei looked surprised and asked, "Why are you suddenly thanking me?"

Lin Ling spoke quietly, "I used to spend my weekends alone, but today not only are you here, but Mom didn't go to the company because of you. The house feels so much more lively."

Hearing her words and recalling her past loneliness, Ye Fei felt a pang of heartache. He pulled her closer by her shoulders and promised, "Don't worry. I'll try my best to spend more time with you from now on. Soon, you and Aunt Xiao should move in with us—it'll be even livelier then."

Ye Yunqi smiled and added, "Brother's right. Mom and the others are thinking the same thing. Aunt Xiao can move in with my mom, and Lingling can stay with Jingjing and me. What do you think, Jingjing?"

"Sure!" Ye Jing clapped her hands and smiled, "The three of us will sleep together—it'll be so much fun!"

Lin Ling's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded. Ye Yunqi smiled and teased, "Jingjing, don't be silly. We'll share a room, but Sister Lingling will sleep with Brother."

Lin Ling blushed and retorted, "I don't want to. If anyone's sharing a room, it should be you."

Ye Jing frowned, confused, and said, "But I also want to sleep with Brother. How about the four of us share? My bed is big enough, so it should be fine."

Ye Yunqi and Lin Ling both burst into laughter at Ye Jing's innocent suggestion, while Ye Jing blinked her big eyes, clueless about what she had said to make them laugh.

Since they were all family, Xiao Hanyue didn't prepare anything too fancy for lunch—just a few simple dishes and a pot of rice. It was more than enough to satisfy everyone. Ye Fei, with ulterior motives on his mind, praised her cooking lavishly. Since his brain developed further, not only had his body become stronger, but his words had also grown much sweeter.

Xiao Hanyue couldn't help but smile at his compliments. Though she initially worried that Ye Fei might look down on her daughter after becoming more powerful, his attention to Lin Ling eased her concerns. His appreciation of her cooking filled her with happiness.

After lunch, Ye Yunqi suggested that they spend the afternoon at the beach, and Xiao Hanyue readily agreed. She had been so busy with work that she rarely got the chance to spend quality time with her daughter. Seeing Ye Yunqi so happy today, she wasn't about to spoil the fun.

After some quick preparations, Ye Fei set out with the four women—one older, three younger—with Xiao Hanyue driving. They headed through the city towards the beach on Wanghai's eastern side. On the way, Ye Yunqi even bought some swimsuits. Despite it being late September, Wanghai, located in the southern part of Longguo, was still quite warm, making a swim

in the sea the perfect way to spend the day.
