A Refined Scoundrel by Nature

"The first thing you say when we meet is something like that. After all these years, you still haven't changed."

Ya Fei's originally delighted expression immediately cooled. She rolled her eyes with endless charm and looked at Xiao Lang with open disdain.

A tailored light-colored suit perfectly displayed Xiao Lang's lean build and well-defined physique. Paired with the custom gold-rimmed glasses and the faint smile at his lips,

the sunny young man instantly transformed into a refined, elegant gentleman.

But the moment he opened his mouth, one knew he was a refined scoundrel.

"Of course. I've never hidden my love for the people I like."

Xiao Lang walked toward Ya Fei with a grin, acting as though the old man and the maid did not exist. His eyes held only the enchanting woman before him.

"Like me? Hah. You left for three years without coming back even once. You even had others handle the transactions for you. Could it be that a man's affection is nothing but empty words?" Ya Fei had long since grown accustomed to Xiao Lang's way of speaking.

The reason the two had become so familiar was that, as Xiao Lang grew older, he stopped hiding it and used the excuse that it was his master's business, personally coming to conduct the transactions.

Thus, the two gradually became close. At first, Ya Fei had merely regarded Xiao Lang as a younger brother, a little boy. But as he grew older, Xiao Lang's playboy personality and tricks gradually made her fall for him.

However, neither of them had taken that final step.

"Mine aren't just empty words."

Xiao Lang flashed a grin and strode over, wrapping an arm around Ya Fei's slender waist. Seeing this, the old man and maid wisely left the room, even closing the door behind them.

"..."

Ya Fei was speechless at the sight.

Uncle Payne, is this how you protect my safety?

"Lord Payne, isn't it inappropriate for you to run out like that?" Outside the door, the maid looked at Payne with concern.

"Ah..." Payne sighed. Recalling what had happened three years ago, he said, "That brat did the same thing back then. I was about to go over and give him two Big Slaps, but Ya Fei glared at me and told me not to meddle in her business."

Maid: "..."

Inside the room.

"What are you trying to do, brat!?"

Looking at the handsome face so close to hers, even Ya Fei's normally unruffled heart began beating nervously. However, as the person in charge of the Mite'er Auction House, she quickly regained her composure.

"I want to."

Xiao Lang continued spouting flirtatious nonsense as his hand slid lower from her waist. The soft sensation made his thoughts wander.

Nice feel.

"Then come on. But you can only love me. Otherwise..."

Ya Fei's alluring eyes were full of desire as she leaned in on her own initiative. Her tempting red lips brushed Xiao Lang's ear as she whispered, "Otherwise, one day while you're asleep, I'll cut that thing off and soak it in liquor!"

Ya Fei smiled as she threateningly glanced toward a certain place.

"There's no point in saying that. This sort of thing should be mutual consent. Besides, I'm a playboy by nature. How could I hang myself from a single tree?"

Xiao Lang immediately sobered up and pulled away. Looking seriously at Ya Fei, he said, "Since you aren't willing to become one of my women, I won't force you. I came today to discuss a major deal with you. Once this deal is done, I may be leaving Wutan City."

"..."

Seeing Xiao Lang act like this again, Ya Fei, whose emotions had just been stirred by the intimate atmosphere, could not help rolling her eyes. She looked at him irritably. "Are you impotent? How do you hold back every single time?"

"Whether I can perform or not, it's not like you haven't touched it before. What's more, whether your little temple can accommodate a great Buddha like me is another matter entirely." Xiao Lang paid no attention to Ya Fei's provocation.

He might have been a playboy, but he would never force someone. Otherwise, what would be the difference between him and Fan Jianqiang?

"Still, after three years apart, you've become even more tempting. Maybe one day, I really will take you." Xiao Lang sat on the sofa beside her, staring fixedly at Ya Fei's fiery figure without concealing his desire in the slightest.

After three years apart, Ya Fei had become even more mature and captivating. If she had once retained a trace of youthful innocence, she was now so mature that she seemed ready to drip with water.

Especially beneath that red cheongsam, her full yet well-proportioned long legs were wrapped in black stockings. Their alluring curves made Xiao Lang want nothing more than to rush forward and pin her down.

But the moment he remembered that she would only allow him to love her alone, Xiao Lang immediately calmed down.

"You've changed a lot too."

Ya Fei smiled and sat directly beside Xiao Lang. She propped her long, beautiful legs atop the coffee table, paying no heed to Xiao Lang's burning gaze. She even deliberately gave him a flirtatious look.

That look seemed to say, Come on, then. Let's have some fun. We have plenty of time.

After three years apart, Xiao Lang had become more mature. His once somewhat boyish face had become sharply defined, and he now carried a faint aura of bloodshed.

"You've become even more like a refined scoundrel."

Ya Fei smiled and stared intently at him, as though she wanted to make up for every moment of the three years they had spent apart.

"I was a refined scoundrel to begin with."

Xiao Lang smiled and placed Ya Fei's beautiful legs across his own. His fair, slender fingers continued stroking the smooth black stockings...

Feeling that wonderful sensation, Xiao Lang could not help narrowing his eyes in enjoyment.

No wonder so many losers in his previous life liked black stockings and long legs. The feeling truly had a uniquely wonderful quality.

"Mm~"

Perhaps Xiao Lang's skilled touch had made her body heat up, as Ya Fei let out a soft moan. She quickly withdrew her legs, stepped toward the window in her red high heels, and opened it.

"Phew~"

The cold late-autumn wind immediately dispersed the heat within her body, along with the ambiguous atmosphere that had filled the room moments ago.

Once they had both calmed down, Ya Fei poured Xiao Lang a cup of tea. Seeing the smile at his lips, her eyes became somewhat complicated. She had many things she wanted to say, but in the end, they became nothing more than a sigh. Returning to normal, she asked, "What deal?"

"I know my current strength isn't enough to make you cast aside your pride and serve me alongside other women, but that's only a matter of time. I told you, I'm a playboy."

Xiao Lang seemed to be answering an entirely different question. Seeing that Ya Fei did not respond, he continued indifferently, "A deal worth one billion!"

"What? One billion? What do you need that much money for?"

Ya Fei was stunned. She had thought one hundred million would be about right, yet he wanted one billion. Then she seemed to think of something, her rosy lips parting slightly. "Could it be that the newly risen faction in the Tagore Desert was raised by you?"
