Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

"Vroom, vroom, vroom…"

Just as Li Canghai was about to make his move, the deafening roar of a motorcycle engine echoed from the entrance. In the capital, there might be more than one person who rode such a flashy motorcycle, but the only one who could ride it all the way here was Li Ruonan.

Compared to his improvement, Li Canghai cared more about his daughter's happiness.

So, he immediately stopped what he was doing and said to Ye Fei, "That's my daughter coming back. Ye Fei, why don't you go to the living room and have some tea? I'll go bring her in."

Ye Fei agreed, but inwardly, he was panicking. He hadn't come up with a good plan yet, and now Li Ruonan was back.

If she accidentally let something slip in front of Li Canghai, he'd be in for a world of trouble.

Sure, Li Canghai couldn't beat him in a fight, but he couldn't exactly go around punching his future father-in-law, could he?

With a worried expression, Ye Fei returned to the living room. Before he could even finish a cup of tea, he sighed several times.

But there was nothing he could do except hope that Li Ruonan wouldn't react too strongly when she saw him.

While Ye Fei was busy sighing, Li Canghai, who had gone out to greet his daughter at the entrance for the first time, was completely stunned.

Was this his daughter?

In Li Canghai's memory, his daughter had always dressed like a tomboy since she was a child. Even as she grew up and her figure became too feminine to hide, she still maintained a wild style—leather jackets, pants, and knee-high boots, giving off a queen-like vibe.

But today, she was wearing a dress, and not just any dress, but a colorful, undeniably feminine one.

Seeing her father's shocked expression, Li Ruonan, who was usually bold, open, and even a bit wild, suddenly felt shy. She didn't know why she had kept this dress or why she had been wearing it for the past two days.

The strange looks from her sisters had already made her feel awkward, but she just couldn't bring herself to take it off.

Every time she saw the dress, she couldn't help but think of that infuriating guy.

Thinking of him filled her with endless anger, but every time she hated him, her mind would drift back to that moment of tenderness he had shown later. Her body would also subconsciously recall the five peaks of ecstasy she had experienced, and the anger would instantly dissipate, replaced by a warm, slightly shy feeling.

Now, facing her father's gaze, that feeling washed over her again, making her cheeks slowly turn red. Her eyes sparkled, and for the first time, she felt shy in front of her father.

Looking at his daughter, who was so different from usual, Li Canghai's eyes widened in disbelief. If he hadn't raised her himself and knew he couldn't possibly mistake her for someone else, he would have thought this was an imposter.

"Ruonan, are you… are you okay?" Li Canghai asked cautiously. The shock his daughter had given him was so great that even as a powerful martial artist, he felt uneasy.

"I'm fine," Li Ruonan quickly snapped out of it, suppressing the shyness in her heart. "Dad, why did you call me back?"

Li Canghai was shocked again. His daughter's gentle tone was something he had never heard before. But after the initial surprise, he felt genuinely happy.

He had been worried that her wild personality would scare Ye Fei off, but now that she had become so gentle and even more adorable than before, he was sure that even if Ye Fei had high standards, he wouldn't be able to resist her.

"It's nothing major. I just met a young man recently, and he's really impressive. I wanted to introduce you to him," Li Canghai said with a smile.

"What?" Li Ruonan, who had been walking with her father, suddenly stopped. The shy and gentle expression on her face instantly turned cold. She turned around and started walking away, saying, "I'm leaving!"

Li Canghai was stunned by his daughter's reaction. Seeing that she was really about to leave, he couldn't help but get angry and shouted, "Stop right there!"

Li Ruonan stopped and turned around, but the look in her eyes was full of stubbornness. She couldn't believe that her father had called her back just to set her up on a blind date. It made her feel uncomfortable as if she were betraying someone.

Yes, betrayal. That's exactly how Li Ruonan felt. She wasn't the type of girl who believed in being loyal to one man forever.

She had even thought that she would never fall in love with or depend on any man in her life.

But after that incident, her mindset had changed. She kept reminding herself that, although it wasn't by choice, she was now his woman.

A good woman should remain loyal, even if she doesn't like him. Maybe this was the only way she could comfort herself, wondering why, after such a humiliating experience, she couldn't stop thinking about him and even dreamed of him at night.

Seeing that his daughter had finally stopped, Li Canghai breathed a sigh of relief. Although he could have forced her to stay, he wouldn't do that unless necessary.

Since his wife had passed away early, he had doted on his daughter to the extreme and never forced her to do anything. But today was different because it concerned her lifelong happiness.

Walking over to Li Ruonan, Li Canghai said, "Alright, my dear daughter, stop being difficult. Come inside with me. It's not good to keep people waiting. Besides, this young man is truly outstanding. I'm sure you'll like him."

Hearing her proud father speak so highly of this person, Li Ruonan didn't feel happy. Instead, she became even more resistant.

Outstanding? How outstanding could he be compared to that guy? And saying I'll like him? How could that be possible? Could I even like someone else?

Before, without any comparison, she could at least maintain some hatred for that bad man. But now, with this sudden appearance of an unknown young man, the image of that bad man appeared in her mind, ruthlessly beating the so-called outstanding young man her father was talking about into the ground.

Seeing that his daughter was still dismissive, Li Canghai felt even more helpless. He didn't understand why she was so resistant without even meeting the guy. But now, the arrow was already on the bowstring.

If Ye Fei found out that his daughter had come back and then left, any chance of forming a family alliance would be ruined. So, he had no choice but to plead softly, "My dear daughter, just do this for your old dad's sake. I've already promised him. I can't go back on my word, can I?"
