As he spoke, accompanied by the click of boot heels against the stone pavement, a bewitching figure emerged.
The moment she appeared, Gu Fang could hear the mercenaries around him swallowing hard.
After greeting Gu Fang, Ya Fei's gaze swept over Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei. No one noticed that, upon seeing the two of them, her brows involuntarily furrowed.
Soon afterward, her brows relaxed again. She still wore that familiar smile, still looked as alluring as ever, yet there was now something indescribable within it.
Walking up to Gu Fang, she bent in greeting. "Young Master Gu, what does the Mittel Auction House need to prepare for you this time?"
As she spoke, she moved to Gu Fang's side and, intentionally or otherwise, squeezed Xiao Yu aside. Then, beneath the envious eyes of countless men around them, she looped her arm through Gu Fang's.
To them, Ya Fei had always been alluring, but it was an allure that could only be admired from afar and never profaned. They had never heard of her treating any one person so intimately.
Yet at this very moment...
something that had never happened before was happening right before their eyes: Ya Fei had taken the initiative to link arms with a man.
How could that not drive them mad?
But no matter how mad they were, not a single person voiced any objection. More accurately, not a single person dared to object.
The reason was simple...
Gu Fang's terrifying display of strength.
Watching from behind, Xiao Yu saw Ya Fei holding Gu Fang's arm, and an indescribable feeling surged up from his heart. Involuntarily...
Xiao Yu recalled Gu Fang's figure as he faced Jia Lie Bi.
"Miss Ya Fei, you're playing with fire." Gu Fang lowered his gaze to meet Ya Fei's eyes.
