Chapter 203 Huh?
Listening to Xiao Yan's compliments, Qing Lin's pretty face turned a shy blush, and she lowered her head and said, "Where... why is a maid like me so good..."
Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Even so, you can't always wear clothes like this for Qing Lin, right?"
"Such a beautiful girl, why don't you dress up nicely?"
"What did you say...Young Master Xiao Yan..."
Qing Lin lowered her head shyly, murmuring in her cherry lips.
"What's wrong? You want this little girl to be your bed warmer...?"
Ya Fei came close to Xiao Yan's ear and lowered his voice.
Xiao Yan was startled by Ya Fei's sudden words, and quickly shook his head. She is still under fifteen years old, and Xiao Yan has no interest in attacking an underage girl now.
Just wait until you become an adult...
Xiao Yan subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the room that had been quiet from beginning to end.
But before he could make any more excuses, wherever Xiao Yan looked, the quiet room suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
"It's so lively today. Did something rare and good happen?"
Still wearing the same plain skirt, Yao Wan walked out of her room with lotus steps.
Everyone followed the sound and turned their heads to look at Yao Wan who walked out of the room.
Yao Wan also looked at the people in the yard. In addition to Xiao Yan and Qing Lin, who were particularly familiar, Ya Fei was also there. What surprised Yao Wan was that Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan, was also there.
Her pale golden eyes shone with a bit of surprise, but she didn't show any surprise.
Xiao Zhan Looking at the beauty who seemed to have grown taller, taller and more beautiful, a hint of surprise could not help but appear in her eyes.
And for some reason, the temperament of Yao Wan he saw before him had also changed compared to three years ago. Compared with Chuchen three years ago, it was a little softer.
"Why is Uncle Xiao here?"
Yao Wan let out a light sigh, and then said, "Are you here for the next Three-Year Agreement?"
"After all, this is about Yan'er's future, so I can't tolerate my neglect."
Xiao Zhan smiled and shook his head and said, "Wan'er Guniang, long time no see."
"It's been two years since I saw my uncle."
A strange color flashed in Yao Wan's eyes, and he smiled and said, "Congratulations to uncle on your promotion to Dou Ling."
"Hey, it's all thanks to the elixir from Wan'er. I'm just a mediocre person. It's hard to make any progress in my cultivation. I'm extremely lucky to have the elixir that Wan'er Guniang gave me in the past."
Xiao Zhan waved his hand, then smiled enthusiastically, "Not only that, Wan'er Guniang's kindness in secretly helping Xiao Clan some time ago will be unforgettable to the Xiao Clan."
But Xiao Zhan's words made Yao Wan a little confused... No, when did this happen?
Seeing Yao Wan blinking her beautiful pale golden eyes, Xiao Yan noticed that Wan Guniang's eyes gradually fell on him.
It's like asking: Did you do it?
Xiao Yan understood and shook his head like a rattle behind Xiao Zhan. He had been busy practicing for more than a year, how could he have the time to help Xiao Clan?
I thought it was you who did it——
Yao Wan, who realized that Xiao Yan's eyes were not right, could not help but frown slightly... She didn't know why, but she just felt that something was not right.
Yao Wan hesitated for a moment, and then couldn't help but said, "Really? I don't remember that I have done this - could it be that uncle Jicha made a mistake...?"
But Yao Wan's question only made Xiao Zhan smile and said, "Wan'er Guniang is too polite——"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, his smiling expression didn't look like he believed Yao Wan.
When Yao Wan saw Xiao Zhan's expression that could be described as gentle and kind, Yao Wan already secretly said something bad in his heart, it was all over now.
How could she have time to do such a thing in the first place?
Those pale golden eyes showed a rare hint of confusion and confusion. His gaze swept across the crowd at this moment, but Yao Wan suddenly noticed that Ya Fei involuntarily lowered his head after hearing the conversation between the two, while raising his jade hand to slightly cover his red lips.
Ya Fei?
After Yao Wan noticed Ya Fei's actions, he immediately reacted. Xiao Zhan said he was helping Xiao Clan - could it be that guy Hai Bodong was using Mittel Family's resources to help Xiao Clan in her name?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but raise her hand and rub her temples.
Although her head had not started to hurt yet, she felt that it was about to hurt.
Ya Fei also immediately noticed Yao Wan's eyes and avoided Yao Wan's eyes with some embarrassment.
Now that the deal is done, Yao Wan also knows that there is no need to tell Xiao Zhan the truth of this matter... Anyway, it just becomes more and more confusing.
However, although the beginning of this conversation was somewhat confusing and gave people an inexplicable headache, in any case, Yao Wan did not make any mistakes in their intersection, and Xiao Zhan also liked this beauty who treated Yan'er very much.
It's just the relationship between Yan'er and others. No matter how impatient I am, I'm too embarrassed to take the lead, so in front of Yao Wan, he just gestured to the two of them in a suggestive way and stopped the topic in time.
After Yao Wan had a conversation with Xiao Zhan, she really couldn't resist the enthusiasm from her elders. She had no choice but to maintain her forced smile while holding Ya Fei's hand and walking directly towards the door of the small courtyard.
"Wan'er Guniang?"
"Ah hahaha... I'm sorry, uncle, I still have some things to do and need to go to Mittel Auction House Headquarters, so I won't have much time to accompany you..."
"Xiao Yan, Qing Lin, I'll leave this to you... Ahem, I'll leave first!"
Without giving Xiao Zhan any chance to stay, Yao Wan smiled and pulled Ya Fei away in a hurry.
It doesn't matter to Xiao Zhan. As a young man, he understands that he doesn't like talking to an old man like him who is half buried in the ground, so he doesn't care that much. As long as he doesn't affect the relationship between Yan'er and others, then naturally it's the best.
"Oh, Yan'er, I came so suddenly, so I didn't bother you, right?"
Xiao Zhan was still a little uneasy. He couldn't help but tossing and turning for a moment while standing in the small courtyard, and couldn't help but say to Xiao Yan.
"Excuse me... I guess there won't be any."
Xiao Yan looked at Yao Wan's hurried away figure, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and he couldn't help but say.
——Of course I won't be disturbed, but if I was scared by you... that's not necessarily the case.
Of course, Xiao Yan would definitely not say this in front of his father. Whether it would make his father angry is another matter. I am afraid that his father would feel that being an old man here was too much of a hindrance and turn around to leave. Then Xiao Yan probably couldn't pull him back with a carriage.
Xiao Yan secretly complained in his heart, forget it, regarding his father, maybe he and Wan Guniang will have to work together more in the future.
And for some reason, or if it was his misunderstanding, Xiao Yan always felt that Wan Guniang seemed a little afraid of his father.
Is this an illusion?
I'm afraid that may not be the case, Xiao Yan's intuition told him that this matter didn't seem to be that simple.
Obviously Wan Guniang has never had the slightest stage fright when facing a strong Dou Zong like Queen Medusa. How come she is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on in front of her father, especially this reunion?
It's indeed a bit strange.
While the father and son were chatting wordlessly in the courtyard, Yao Wan and Ya Fei in the alley were walking quickly towards Mittel Auction House Headquarters.
The sound of crisp footsteps echoed on the bluestone bricks of the streets of the imperial capital. At this moment, Ya Fei was a little afraid to look at Yao Wan's expression.
Because at this moment, the beauty who had always been so calm and smiling seemed to be so impatient for the first time - according to Ya Fei's perception, maybe the only word impatient can be used to describe Yao Wan at this moment.
"Don't look at it. It's useless for you to hide it. You're just the executor. I don't have the trouble to embarrass you."
On the way, Yao Wan didn't even look at her, but just warned her not to meddle in her own business.
Just from Yao Wan's initial confusion, shock, and disbelief, to her sudden anger and impatience at the end, Ya Fei easily pieced together the ins and outs of this incident.
I'm afraid Old Hai did something superfluous accidentally, right?
Although the final executor of this task is herself, she even gradually rose to prominence in the family because of her outstanding completion of this task, and she no longer needs to worry about the covetousness of some disgusting guys.
But even so, Ya Fei only guessed the beginning but not the end.
After all, Ya Fei didn't expect that Old Hai would actually use Wan Guniang's reputation to blatantly give benefits to the Xiao Clan - now, the whole Xiao Clan owes Yao Wan a big favor.
As both women, Ya Fei can understand Yao Wan's feelings to some extent - it doesn't really matter whether they owe favors or not, but it is obvious that this move has no intention of completely breaking the previous delicate relationship and balance between Yao Wan and Xiao Clan.
Yao Wan doesn't want Xiao Clan to owe her too much, because what Xiao Clan owes her is what Xiao Yan owes her. Although Ya Fei still doesn't understand how far the relationship between the two of them has progressed, the fact before her is indeed the same.
But now - I'm afraid it's just too much fun.
Ya Fei silently avoided Yao Wan's gaze that seemed to want to kill, and finally followed Yao Wan upstairs.
Not long after, the sound of the beauty's angry, gnashing teeth came from the top floor of Mittel Auction House Headquarters.
"——What the hell did you do?"
Ya Fei, who was waiting outside the door, felt ashamed and couldn't even believe his ears.
This seemed to be the first time she heard such harsh words from Wan Guniang's mouth.
