My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 233 - 232: Independent Space (Part 5)

```

"Hmm?" Huyan Wudi turned his head, quietly observing the elder.

"The hammer in Gao Fei's hand is a treasure, and its grade is not low. Moreover, he has a storage space on him, which is an incredible treasure indeed. Sect Leader, haven't you always wanted to possess a storage space?" the elder said slowly, "Kill Gao Fei and take both the hammer and the storage space for ourselves."

"There were many people present at the time. If I had acted to snatch Gao Fei's hammer and storage space, my hard-earned reputation would have been ruined," Huyan Wudi said calmly.

"Sect Leader, you are good in many ways, but you care too much about your reputation," the elder frowned and said, "Could it be that in your heart, the treasured hammer and storage space are less important than your reputation?"

"There is no comparison," Huyan Wudi shook his head, "A treasure is a treasure, reputation is reputation; there is simply no basis for comparison between the two."

"You..."

"Don't fret. Gao Fei will be returning in a few days, and then I will find an opportunity to snatch the hammer and the storage space," Huyan Wudi reassured.

"I'm just afraid that if we wait, things might change."

"What kind of change could there be?" Huyan Wudi scoffed, "With the little strength that Gao Fei possesses, he thinks he can oppose me? He's far from qualified! If it hadn't been for my concern over reputation today, I would have killed him already."

Seeing Huyan Wudi's resolute attitude, the elder found no more words to say.

"Let's go. Let's head back," Huyan Wudi turned and walked towards the mountaintop.

"Sect Leader," the elder caught up and said, "We informed the other sects about the independent space precisely so they would deal with the black bugs, while we reap the benefits from behind. But now... things have changed. What should we do?"

"Don't worry; everything is under my control," Huyan Wudi laughed, "With me here, they won't be able to stir up any trouble."

The elder nodded, "With those words, I can rest easy."

Originally, Huyan Wudi had planned on using the other sects as cannon fodder to deal with the terrible black bugs. Initially, things went smoothly, but later, Gao Fei's interference greatly irked Huyan Wudi.

Gao Fei had made it onto Huyan Wudi's list of those destined to be killed. After eliminating the black bugs, Huyan Wudi would put an end to Gao Fei to satisfy his anger and take the treasures for his own use, killing two birds with one stone.

...

After sending Sima Shangyue on his way, Gao Fei returned to Southern City. In three days, he dealt with the backlog of paperwork for Feitian Group, and then he drove to pick up his parents. Gao Fei had already discussed with his parents that they would spend the New Year in Southern City this year.

It took two days for the return trip.

"Big cities are bustling with activity; rural areas simply can't compare."

"The roads are so wide! The buildings are so tall! There are so many people! And everyone is dressed so nicely!"

"This is where you live? It's quite big!"

Throughout the journey, Gao Fei's parents chattered away, never closing their mouths.

"Right, this is my house," Gao Fei placed his parents' luggage on the sofa, then led them around the villa: "This is the living room, that's the kitchen, and over there is the bathroom... The bedrooms are all upstairs..."

"Living alone in such a big house is really a waste," his mother, Zhao Qin, remarked.

"When I bought this house, I was planning on having you come to live with me," Gao Fei said with a smile, "Since you're here this time, don't leave. Just stay here and enjoy a leisurely life. Later, I'll hire a few nannies for you to cook, do laundry, and chat with you. In short, you won't have to do anything or worry about anything; just enjoy life happily."

"We're not accustomed to living in such a nice house," Zhao Qin shook her head, "I still prefer the countryside."

"Right, we prefer life in the countryside," Gao Fei's father, Gao Changhai, nodded in agreement, "In the countryside, there's a freedom to life. We can work during the day and, in the evening, get together with some friends for a little drink and chat. That's the life we enjoy."

"What can I say to you?" Gao Fei said with a wry smile, "Others dream of living in a big city, having a large house, and being attended to, but you, on the other hand, feel exactly the opposite. I'm really at a loss with you."

"To each their own," Gao Changhai said, "While others yearn for city life, we long for the countryside."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore," Gao Fei waved his hand, "You just settle in first and get used to it. See what the life here is like. After you've stayed for a while, you won't want to leave."

"Impossible," Gao Changhai shook his head as if it was a rattle-drum, "Absolutely impossible."

Zhao Qin followed with a shake of her head, "Right, impossible."

"We'll speak with facts. In the coming time, I'll make sure you enjoy yourselves properly – I refuse to believe that I can't persuade you to stay!" Gao Fei led his parents upstairs, "Come on, let me show you. Your bedroom is all ready, it's spacious enough, and I even specially installed a TV for you – you can watch it without having to come downstairs.

Oh, and there is an en-suite bathroom in your room, which is very convenient."

It was evident that Gao Fei had really put thought into it; he knew his parents had not had an easy life, and now that he had the means, he definitely wanted to repay them well.

"How about it? Nice bedroom, isn't it?" Gao Fei asked.

"It's nice, very good," his parents nodded.

"Well then, you've been sitting in the car all day and must be tired. Go lie down on the bed and rest. I'll call you when it's time to eat," Gao Fei said, and after making sure his parents were settled, he left and closed the door behind him.

"Our son has become successful," Zhao Qin said with a contented smile. Not only has he made money, but he also knows how to respect us. Raising this son was not in vain.

"Indeed, seeing our son do well makes me proud," Gao Changhai laughed, "Those old friends of mine are envious of us; envious that we have raised a good son."

...

No sooner had Gao Fei come down from upstairs than he received a phone call from Su Xiaorou, "Gao Fei, where are you spending the New Year?"

```

"Southern City? What's up?" Gao Fei asked.

"Aren't you going back to your hometown? What about your parents?"

"I've brought my parents over, we're all spending New Year's in Southern City."

"What? You brought your parents to Southern City?"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Ah? No, I was just asking. Okay then, let's leave it at that." After saying this, Su Xiaorou hung up the phone.

"How odd," Gao Fei muttered, tossing his phone on the sofa before heading to the bathroom. After driving all day, he was covered in dust and really needed a good wash.

...

As evening approached,

a series of urgent doorbell chimes sounded.

When Gao Fei opened the door, he was instantly stunned. Outside stood five women, Su Xiaorou, Shen Caidie, Liu Mengyao, Meng Xiaoyu, Ouyang Lan, all wrapped in down jackets, wearing little hats, scarves around their necks, and carrying gifts. They were quite a sight.

"How did you all get here?" Gao Fei asked in surprise.

"We've come to spend New Year's with you."

"New Year's? With me?"

"Yeah, aren't you really touched now?"

"...Spell it out for me, what's going on! If you don't explain, you're not coming in."

"Let me explain," Su Xiaorou said. "We had planned a long time ago to accompany you home for the New Year. But then you went and brought your parents to Southern City, so we had no choice but to come here."

"Do we have guests?" Zhao Qin's voice came from behind.

"Ah, right... a few friends came over," Gao Fei replied casually.

"Why are you blocking the door? Hurry up and let your friends in," Zhao Qin descended the stairs with steady steps, approaching the doorway: "You don't know the first thing about hosting... uh..." When she saw Su Xiaorou and the others, she froze: "What beautiful girls, are you all here for Gao Fei?"

"Auntie, hello, my name is Su Xiaorou."

"I'm Shen Caidie."

"I'm Liu Mengyao."

"My name is Meng Xiaoyu."

"I'm Ouyang Lan."

"We are all friends of Gao Fei, good friends. We heard that you and uncle arrived, so we specially came over to visit you."

...

"You're very thoughtful, come in, please come in," Zhao Qin pulled Gao Fei aside and let the five women in: "Have a seat, everyone sit. Gao Fei, why are you dazed? Go and make tea quickly, hurry."

"Oh, right." Gao Fei walked towards the water dispenser, and by the time he came back, he found the five women presenting gifts to Zhao Qin; some had brought clothes, others scarves, and even mobile phones, all quite valuable.

"It's quite lively," Gao Changhai also came down from upstairs: "So many people."

"Old man, you've arrived at the perfect time; they're friends of Xiao Fei, here to see us and they even brought gifts," Zhao Qin said, her eyes squinting with a smile.

"Oh, is that so." Gao Changhai approached and greeted the five women: "Hello, everyone."

"Uncle, good to see you. This is a gift for you, do you like it?"

The five women raced to present their gifts.

"Oh my, that's too much," Gao Changhai quickly said: "You're all too polite... It's enough that you came, why bring gifts as well?" Gao Changhai was holding a pile of items: ties, suits, belts, even shoes.

They were all brand names, international brands, very expensive. Of course, Gao Changhai wouldn't recognize them; he had always lived in the countryside and had never been exposed to luxury goods, so he didn't feel much about the gifts the women brought. If he knew that all these gifts together were worth hundreds of thousands, he would certainly be shocked.

While the five women busied themselves giving gifts to Gao Changhai, Zhao Qin stood up, walked over to Gao Fei, and asked in a low voice, "Be honest, what is your relationship with these five girls?"

"Friends."

"Just friends? I'm your mom; are you going to hide it from me too?"

"All right, I'll come clean, they are all my admirers."

"What? Say that again!" Zhao Qin's eyes widened in disbelief: "They are all your admirers? They pursue you? They're after you? I heard that right?"

"What's with that look?" Gao Fei pouted: "I'm outstanding, so it's normal to be pursued."
