What Are You Thinking?

Mittel Auction House...

Gu Fang and Ling Wu entered through an internal passage. Under the detection of Gu Fang's Heavenly Rank Soul Power, not a single person noticed Gu Fang's arrival.

At the same time...

Relying on his Heavenly Rank soul as well, Gu Fang accurately determined the room where Ya Fei was staying.

Knock, knock, knock!

Along with the knocking came the sound of footsteps from within the room. The next moment...

The door opened. First, a ray of light spilled through the crack, and then a tall, graceful figure appeared.

It was Ya Fei!

Ya Fei was not wearing her close-fitting qipao-style attire at the moment, but rather a pale pink long dress. There were no special adornments on it.

Her naturally seductive eyes were somewhat bleary, clearly having only just awakened from sleep.

Her long hair was casually draped behind her shoulders, and her lips lacked their usual vivid color.

This version of Ya Fei possessed a little less allure and a little more of an ordinary air.

Upon seeing Gu Fang, Ya Fei raised an eyebrow slightly, the corners of her lips lifting gently as she straightened her posture a little.

Yet with only those few small movements, that trace of ordinariness was completely blown away, and her seductive charm was already on full display.

Before Ya Fei could speak, Gu Fang spoke first. "Miss Ya Fei, do you remember that you still owe me a favor?"

Hearing Gu Fang's words, Ya Fei froze inwardly, but her outward movements did not slow in the slightest.

She smiled sweetly, and a naturally soft, bone-melting voice flowed from her lips. "Ya Fei naturally remembers. As long as it is something Ya Fei can do, I will absolutely not refuse!"

If it had been anyone else, Ya Fei would never have acknowledged such a favor. After all, Ya Fei had never asked for anything; it had clearly been Gu Fang's one-man show.

But Gu Fang was not anyone else. Even the Great Elder feared the family standing behind him deeply.

Ya Fei did not dare to argue further.

"Good. Then bring a set of new clothes to my room now. Hurry."

After saying that, Gu Fang spoke no further. He turned and walked toward the room the Miteer Clan had arranged for him, leaving Ya Fei alone there.

Ya Fei simply stood at the doorway, watching Gu Fang's departing back. Her hand rested on the corner of her pink dress, lightly rubbing it between her fingers.

At the same time, the Great Elder's earlier words resurfaced in her mind: "No matter what he requests, as long as our Mite'er Family has it, we must provide it to him!"

And now...

In the middle of the night, Gu Fang had suddenly come to her and told her to bring a set of new clothes to his room!

What else could it be for?

Wasn't it just that sort of thing between a man and a woman?

Her seductive side was merely a necessity of being an auctioneer, because they had to generate profits for the entire auction house.

Although Ya Fei treated everyone pleasantly, it was also true that not a single man had ever obtained her!

Ya Fei gave a bitter smile. She had never imagined that the thing she had guarded for so long would be taken by a young man she had only met once!

However...

Recalling Gu Fang's every move during the day, the way arrogance and kindness had blended together in him, an inexplicable expression appeared on Ya Fei's face.

"Perhaps forming a connection with the heir of such a force would be a good choice!"

Ya Fei comforted herself this way before turning back into her room.

After all, what else could she do besides think that way?

When it came down to it, without her identity as a Mittel Auction House auctioneer, she was merely a woman with a good figure and a pretty face. In her position, she had already seen far too much filth.

And she knew even more clearly...

For those without strength, possessing a body like hers was not a blessing, but a kind of cruelty!

With that thought in mind, Ya Fei turned and returned to her room!

Gu Fang returned to his room and looked at Zhan Xue, who was curled into a ball and occasionally let out a sob.

He could not help but tug at his robe before patting his cheeks!

Gu Fang could feel his cheeks burning.

Anyone could wash their body, of course, but Gu Fang said he was not lustful...

That was nonsense.

But Gu Fang had his own principles. He would never take advantage of someone in a vulnerable moment.

With that thought, he shifted his gaze away, leaned back onto the bench covered in Greenwood Fox Fur, and sat cross-legged in silent wait for Ya Fei's knock.

A quarter of an hour later...

Gu Fang looked at the door in confusion, frowning. "What's going on? Why is she taking so long?

What a hassle!"

With that thought, Gu Fang immediately rose to his feet, pushed open the door, and headed toward Ya Fei's room!

Thirty breaths later, Gu Fang arrived outside Ya Fei's room.

By now thoroughly impatient, Gu Fang raised his hand and slammed it against the door!

Bang, thud!

With a loud sound, the door creaked open beneath that single strike. After Gu Fang had left earlier, Ya Fei had not properly shut it.

This...

Gu Fang froze for a moment and looked inside!

Ya Fei's room was not as lavish as he had imagined, filled with every sort of decoration. It was instead quite simple. A Magic Crystal lamp hung from the ceiling, casting a pure white glow.

The bed itself was brown, but everything on it was pale in color.

Set off by those light-colored brocade quilts, the red qipao-style garment placed in the center stood out all the more!

As Gu Fang took in everything else in the room...

A trace of doubt rose in his heart.

Where had she gone?

So he called out, "Miss Ya Fei, could you hurry up...?"

"I'm coming!"

The moment Gu Fang's words fell, Ya Fei's voice rang out from a room deeper inside.

Then, the door to that room opened...

What he saw next made Gu Fang's face flush bright red!

Standing before him was Ya Fei in her completely bare state.

At that moment, Ya Fei was holding something like a towel and drying her long hair, though it was clearly not yet dry.

Drops of water still fell from the ends of her hair.

Their eyes met, and a flash of astonishment passed through Ya Fei's eyes!

She had never expected Gu Fang to be standing at the doorway.

And Gu Fang was no different.

Bang! Bang!

Amid two sounds of doors closing, Gu Fang ended up outside the room while Ya Fei darted back into the room she had just emerged from.

Leaning against the door, Gu Fang let out a soft breath. "Miss Ya Fei, carry on!"

Ya Fei did not reply.

At that moment, Ya Fei stood on tiptoe with her body pressed against the wall. The coolness of the wall eased her rapidly pounding heart slightly.

What had just happened was completely beyond Ya Fei's expectations.

"Why was he able to open that door?

It might not look sturdy, but it was reinforced with ironwood. Forget a Dou Shi—even a Da Dou Shi shouldn't have been able to break it open in one blow."

Ya Fei murmured, then suddenly remembered...

After entering the room earlier, she seemed not to have shut the door tightly.

"How careless!"

Half an incense stick later, Ya Fei had finished getting ready. Her hair was tied behind her with a purple ribbon, and she wore a fitted purple qipao-style outfit.

There was a slit along the side of her legs, extending all the way up to her upper thigh.

Through that opening, one could see the snow-white, slender legs concealed beneath!

This outfit was not much different from what she usually wore, and was even more eye-catching. Yet Ya Fei's signature seductive charm was nowhere to be found on her face!

Though she was still beautiful, Ya Fei now wore...

A hesitation more fitting of a young girl!

Her hand rested on the jade handle. Ya Fei knew very well that with only a light pull, she could open the door.

Yet she could not bring herself to pull it.

Because, in Ya Fei's current understanding, if she turned the handle, she would have to face that young man—she would have to enter his room!

But could she refuse to go?

Probably not!

She did not have that right!

"Come on!"

Ya Fei took a deep breath, then turned the handle!

The instant the handle moved, the hesitation on Ya Fei's face vanished at once, replaced by a bewitching charm that made it impossible to look away.

As the door opened a crack and she saw Gu Fang, Ya Fei reached out and grabbed his wrist.

In a voice so soft it could make even a woman go weak, she said, "Ya Fei is late. How about we stay in Ya Fei's room instead?"
