Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 72 The Stunning Beauty in the Slums

Upon seeing the woman entering, Ye Fei's eyes lit up momentarily, but then dimmed. The woman stood at about 1.72 meters tall, her figure accentuated by worn-out clothes that failed to hide her incredibly alluring curves. Just her figure alone was enough to arouse impulses in any physiologically normal man.

However, upon looking at her face, any man with a normal sense of aesthetics would lose interest.

Her facial features were exquisite, with a profoundly soft and graceful oval shape, large almond-shaped beautiful eyes, a high straight nose, and a sensual mouth, creating a visage that could rival the stunning beauty of Ye Ningsuan and Liu Fengyi.

Yet, a nearly purple birthmark that almost covered the entire right side of her face completely shattered this perfection, making what should have been a captivating face appear quite ugly and even somewhat frightening.

The skin on the left side of her face was also extremely rough, with some small bumps on it, making it difficult to determine her age based on her appearance.

Sighing inwardly with regret, Ye Fei prepared to avert his gaze, as staring at someone's face like this was impolite.

However, at that moment, he noticed something amiss. His natural brain domain had been developed, enhancing not only his strength but also his senses, surpassing even top-tier experts like Ye Yunqi by far.

With this enhanced perception, he noticed a subtle difference—the area where the woman's left face connected to her nose had a slightly different skin tone.

Although this difference was extremely minor, almost overlooked even by Ye Fei, it was still there. How could there be such a variance in the skin of a person's face in such a close proximity?

Curious, Ye Fei disregarded manners and focused his gaze back on the woman's face. Being more observant this time, he finally realized that the birthmark on her face was actually pasted on, including the rough skin on the left side of her face.

Ye Fei never dreamt that in this small orphanage, besides the adorable Yaya, there would be a stunning beauty that rivaled the women in his own family. However, just earlier, he had silently sworn not to be swayed by any woman other than Ye Yunqi and Lin Ling, so his gaze towards the woman was merely that of an onlooker's admiration.

As for why a woman in an era where beauty was highly sought after would make herself appear unattractive, he didn't find it strange at all. With such looks and figure, and without any background, she was vulnerable to harm. It was completely understandable to use something like this as a protective cover for her beauty.

This choice only increased Ye Fei's respect for her, as he had already guessed her true identity. With such beauty, she could live a luxurious life without doing anything. Yet, she chose to be in this extremely run-down orphanage. How could one not admire her?

Ye Fei's thoughts may seem lengthy when spoken out, but they were merely fleeting thoughts that occurred in an instant. In fact, from the moment this Xue entered until now, barely ten seconds had passed.

During this brief period, Xue was also observing Ye Fei and the other two. The two girls, whose appearances matched her own, initially showed surprise upon seeing her, but then, unlike most people, a hint of regret flashed in their eyes.

She politely nodded towards them before redirecting her gaze, but what puzzled her was the handsome boy.

After staring at her for a while, he didn't show any signs of disgust like most people would. Instead, a look of amazement and admiration flickered in his eyes, which left her somewhat perplexed. Did this boy have a different sense of aesthetics from others?

"Sister Xue, you're back," Yaya exclaimed as she jumped up from beside Ye Yunqi and ran towards Xue. "How did it go? Did you manage to sell the copper?"

Xue sighed, "No, the purchasing station said they're now prohibiting private transactions of non-ferrous metals and are only willing to pay us fifteen yuan per kilogram."

"Oh, I see," Yaya said disappointedly. "We only have less than two hundred kilograms in total. We can only sell them for a little over two thousand yuan, which won't be enough to cover Chenchen's school fees."

Ye Fei was once again touched in his heart. He couldn't help but wonder how Aunt Li had educated these people, all of whom had such good character. But what about those people that Purple Hair mentioned earlier? It seems that this is still related to human nature.

At this point, Purple Hair also stood up and introduced them to each other. Li Xue (the children here were all adopted by Aunt Li from a young age and do not know who their parents are, so they all use Li as their surname) behaved similarly to Aunt Li at first, just nodding slightly at Ye Fei and the other two before turning to walk towards Aunt Li's room.

"Just a moment." Ye Fei wanted to truly understand Li Xue and naturally couldn't let her leave. He quickly stood up and called out to her.

Li Xue turned around to look at Ye Fei and asked, "Do you need something?"

"I'll just call you Xue like Purple Hair does," Ye Fei first brought their relationship a bit closer before continuing, "Xue, can we talk alone?"

Alone?

Could it be that this boy really has some thoughts about me?

Li Xue instinctively took a step back, then laughed at herself, thinking that she was overthinking things.

If his sense of aesthetics was truly different, he wouldn't be accompanied by two such beautiful girls, and he was brought by Mao Mao.

Even if he was a playboy, his character shouldn't be too bad. Besides, they were on her turf now. Could she really be afraid of a child doing something to her?

Nodding, Li Xue smiled, "Sure, the children haven't returned yet, we can just step outside to talk."

Ye Fei gave a signal to Lin Ling, then followed Li Xue out of the door. Since he wanted to start a secret company, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Although Purple Hair and the others would inevitably find out later, there were still some things that needed to be kept from them. It wasn't that Ye Fei didn't trust Purple Hair and the others, but even if they knew, they wouldn't be able to help much.

In the future, Ye Fei would need them for other tasks, and it wasn't suitable for them to be distracted by this matter.

They walked until they were far from the room before Li Xue stopped and turned around, asking, "What is it that you wanted to talk to me about?"

However, Ye Fei didn't immediately reveal his own intentions. Instead, he asked, "Purple Hair said you used to study business management and that many big companies had offered you early employment. Why did you ultimately return to the orphanage? Wouldn't working in those big companies allow you to help here even more?"
