Conquest of Taboo and Debauchery

Chapter 110: 110: Tender Eyes

After watching Liu Junyi leave the room, Ye Fei moved closer to Ye Ningshuang and quietly asked, "Why did you come here alone? Where are my second and youngest aunts?" Ye Ningshuang was now his woman, so he didn't feel the need for formality with her. Besides, the promotion ceremony for his aunt was a big event, and Ye Fei was a bit displeased that his other aunts hadn't attended.

Sensing his dissatisfaction, Ye Ningshuang grew flustered and hurriedly explained, "Ningxue is still feeling a bit awkward about everything, and Ningbing and I are trying to help her through it. Still Ningxue didn't want to come, so I had Ningbing stay with her."

Seeing her nervousness, Ye Fei felt a surge of affection. How could this powerful woman, the head of a major group, now seem so much like a wife who was afraid of being reprimanded by her husband? Softly, he said, "I'm sorry, I spoke too harshly."

"It's fine, I like it when you talk to me like this," Ye Ningshuang replied with a smile. What Ye Fei didn't realize was that, by speaking to her in this manner, he reinforced her role as his little woman, no longer just his aunt. She loved the feeling of being his, and even though he had chastised her, she felt happy inside.

Ye Fei shook his head and said nothing further, as Ye Yunqi approached them. "Aunt, brother, what are you two talking about?"

Ye Fei grinned and said, "I was just asking my aunt where she bought that princess dress for you. I want to buy you a few more sets so you can wear them when we ride our bikes in the future."

Ye Yunqi's face turned crimson at the mention of their intimate moments on the bike. She quickly and playfully stomped on Ye Fei's foot and whispered, "You're terrible!"

Ye Ningshuang chuckled and asked Ye Yunqi, "Qiqi, do you like the dress your aunt picked out for you?"

"I love it!" Ye Yunqi beamed and threw herself into Ye Ningshuang's arms, chatting with her affectionately. Watching the two of them so close, Ye Fei felt an urge to reveal everything to them, to bring them even closer. But he resisted the impulse, knowing it wasn't the right time.

Ye Fei, observing the exchange, felt puzzled. This was the first time his aunt had met General Qian. Even if she had sensed his earlier leering glance, her reaction seemed too strong. The disgust in her eyes wasn't merely directed at his behavior—it was as if she found him physically repulsive, like someone with a severe illness.

Before Ye Fei could dwell on this any further, he noticed something else: when General Qian had addressed Liu Junyi as "Major General," a hint of mockery and smugness had flashed in his eyes. That look caught Ye Fei's attention. Could there be some hidden agenda behind Aunt's promotion? he wondered.

But for now, he couldn't figure out what kind of conspiracy might be in play. On the surface, this promotion seemed to benefit the Liu family greatly.

After exchanging pleasantries, General Qian took out a small box containing the new major general's epaulets. He prepared to place them on Liu Junyi's shoulders.

Though this was standard procedure for a promotion ceremony, Liu Junyi took a step back, dodging his outstretched hands. Yu Wuxia stepped forward, taking the epaulets from Qian Pengfei with a soft smile. "General Qian, let me do the honors."

Caught off guard, General Qian's hands hung awkwardly in the air for a moment, but Yu Wuxia's graceful intervention saved him from embarrassment. Smiling stiffly, he replied, "Of course."

Yu Wuxia turned toward Liu Junyi and, with practiced care, removed the colonel's epaulets from her uniform and replaced them with the gleaming major general's insignia.

At that moment, something unexpected caught Ye Fei's eye. As Yu Wuxia affixed the new epaulets, his aunt's expression softened. A smile crossed Liu Junyi's face, and in her eyes, there was a look of... warmth, directed at Yu Wuxia.
