Urban Seduction: Housewives Club Chapter 2104 - 433: The Mad Auntie 1
Previously on Urban Seduction: Housewives Club...
Naturally, everything here remained nothing more than Wang Yue's own guesswork; it hadn't been proven true so far.
Still, Wang Yue felt quite confident about his theory. When it came to the men of his age from the three great families, his uncle stood out as the only one famous for his womanizing ways. Nobody else would pull off something like that.
Therefore, Zhou Pingping and Zhou Tingting ought to be renamed Su Pingping and Su Tingting. In truth, they were Wang Yue's own cousins on his father's side.
As for Zhou Yifei, she could be viewed as his aunt.
Gazing at Zhou Yifei, Wang Yue couldn't help but respect his uncle deeply.
This woman, who shared no formal bond with him, wasn't just breathtakingly gorgeous but also thrived in her professional life. She didn't depend on any man for support or scheme to rise in status. Rather, she embodied strength and self-reliance.
It was genuinely impressive how his uncle managed to keep such an outstanding woman by his side without any legal ties, despite being wed already. This left Wang Yue feeling somewhat inadequate in comparison.
Regarding himself, Wang Yue had plenty of women in his orbit, though most connections stemmed from blood relations, and his outstanding bedroom skills kept them utterly loyal.
Yet his uncle lacked those perks. He was a genuine charmer who won over ladies purely with his allure.
Sadly, his uncle had vanished now. If not, Wang Yue would have loved to pick his brain for advice.
The mall's response came swiftly. Within under three minutes of the trouble starting, a swarm of guards showed up.
That's precisely why the robbers held off until Wang Yue and his companions had exited the mall before striking.
Even in Tianhai, martial artists commanded immense respect. As the assaulted party, Wang Yue and his group faced only a brief inquiry from the mall staff before being courteously dismissed.
Once he uncovered the real identities of the mother and her girls, Wang Yue grew even warmer toward them. Smiling, he remarked, "Pingping, Tingting, thanks a ton for your aid. As a thank-you, Brother Tiezhu will treat you all to a lavish dinner, alright?"
Surprisingly, the pair of young girls declined with head shakes. "We prefer not to dine out. Why not grab some grub and enjoy it back in our hotel room?"
"That might... not be the best idea," Wang Yue replied uncertainly. With just the three of them—a mom and her daughters—and him being male, stepping into their space felt off. They were kin, sure, but unaware of it yet.
Yet Zhou Yifei offered a gentle smile. "No worries. We booked a suite, so the restaurant area will do fine for eating."
With his "auntie" giving the green light, Wang Yue had no reason to object. He agreed with a nod.
By chance, the mother and daughters lodged at the exact same hotel as Wang Yue.
But while Wang Yue used it mostly for martial arts training, they chose it for lodging comfort. Their two-room suite felt cozier. It included a training area, though tiny and unfit for serious practice.
The appeal lay in its secure and secluded setup.
Hotels for martial artists cater exclusively to their needs, delivering superior amenities over standard ones.
Wang Yue and his three buddies skipped shopping for food. Back in the women's suite, they simply called for a full spread of dishes.
They'd shared meals multiple times aboard the ship, so no awkward intros were needed. They dove right in with gusto.
Only after filling up to about 60-70% did they ease off. Then, they cracked open beverages and kept talking over bites.
That said, Wang Yue and Zhou Yifei sipped booze, whereas the twins stuck to juice.
After some casual talk, Zhou Pingping noticed her mom and Brother Tiezhu knocking back drinks steadily. She piped up, "Mom, I wanna try some too."
"Absolutely not—you're way too young for alcohol!" Zhou Yifei shot down the request at once.
"But you mentioned this trip was for us to experience new things, right?" Zhou Pingping sulked, adding, "Stuff we've never tried before is exactly what we should sample."
Zhou Tingting bobbed her head enthusiastically, backing her sister's point.
"Certain experiences are fine, but not this," Zhou Yifei explained. "You're still kids, and booze harms developing brains. If you're set on it, hold off till adulthood."
"We're nearly fourteen already; we're not little kids anymore," Zhou Pingping grumbled, putting on a childish pout.
"Booze does serious damage to those under age, and even martial artists aren't immune," Wang Yue noted with a grin, then shifted gears, "But here's an alternative you can have."
As he spoke, Wang Yue turned his hand over, and a petite porcelain vial materialized in his grasp from nowhere.
"Whoa? Brother Tiezhu, how'd you pull that off? Magic trick?" The girls fixated far more on Wang Yue's sudden reveal of the vial than its contents, tugging at his hand for a closer peek.
Zhou Yifei looked equally astonished.
"Stop staring like that—it's no spell. I pulled it from this," Wang Yue said, tapping a subtle ring on his pinky finger. "It's known as a Space Ring. Bet you've come across the term."
"What's a Space Ring?" Clearly, the twins had zero clue about it.
Zhou Yifei, however, reacted with shock. She'd caught wind of it casually, since even her girls' dad lacked one. He'd only brought it up in chats, voicing deep jealousy and a desire to own one.
Items like these were incredibly scarce. Money alone wouldn't cut it; you needed clout and ties to snag one, no matter your wealth.
And here was Brother Tiezhu with one in possession.
Suddenly, Zhou Yifei saw him as far more enigmatic.
Wang Yue slipped off the Space Ring next, shifting its holdings to a spare one. He handed the first to Zhou Pingping and Zhou Tingting, walking them through its operation.
The clever duo picked it up fast and began stashing tableware inside, then retrieving it, giggling with delight.
"Enjoying it? If yes, keep it for fun," Wang Yue offered smilingly. He'd scored two fresh Space Rings that day. Zhang Jiancheng's matched his current one's size, while the Zhang family third elder's held tenfold the volume—ideal for upgrading his.
A wonder like this thrilled the girls to no end. Before they could respond, though, Zhou Yifei interjected, "No way—it's far too precious. They can't take it."
"Precious? Nonsense. I see them as my little sisters. Anything they fancy, it's theirs," Wang Yue replied cheerfully. "Besides, it's no skin off my back. If this one's not ideal now, I can hand over a different one."
"I really can't let you do that!" Zhou Yifei shook her head firmly, cheeks flushing. Though not a true ring, its circular form still made accepting it from him impossible.
With a faint smile, Wang Yue turned to Zhou Pingping and Zhou Tingting. "Consider this a present from Brother Tiezhu just for you two. Share it going forward—no squabbles, got it?"
"As if we would!" The girls scrunched their noses at him in mock offense. Brother Tiezhu lowballed their bond; as twins, nothing material could drive a wedge between them.
In mere moments, the trio settled ownership of that invaluable Space Ring.
Zhou Yifei let out a quiet sigh, at a loss for further protest. Wang Yue had made his intent crystal clear, and blocking her daughters from accepting might wound their spirits once more.
