Want to Discuss a Multi-Billion Dollar Deal

After a long while, the sound of unhurried footsteps approached from outside.

Immediately following, two figures pushed the door open and entered.

"Little brother, I heard you were looking for me?"

As a fragrant breeze wafted over, a soft, honeyed laugh drifted into Xiao Yuan's ears, making his heart tremble involuntarily.

Hiss, this voice...

He looked up, and a stunningly beautiful face instantly came into view.

Hmm, this must be Ya Fei Mittal, one of the must-haves on the Dou Po list, right?

She truly embodies mature charm; she's a rare enchantress.

No wonder she is so highly sought after in both the Imperial Capital and Wutan City.

But, as expected, my Xun'er is still better.

For some reason, however, when she saw him, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

Wait, why is she looking at me like I'm a monster? Did I scare her? That shouldn't be right. Even if I'm not the most handsome man in the world, I'm still quite dashing, aren't I?

Ding, congratulations on obtaining one Youth-Preserving Pill.

[Youth-Preserving Pill]
[Grade: None]
[Effect: Art of preserving youth, eternal youthfulness]

The reward from the system made Xiao Yuan's face darken.

He felt like this damn system was calling him shameless, but he couldn't find any proof.

Little did he know, Ya Fei was merely plunged into deep shock because she had heard his inner voice.

What was going on?

The voice clearly came from the youth in front of her, yet he hadn't even opened his mouth!

Could this be some kind of sound transmission technique?

The Dou Qi Continent was full of strange things, and as a merchant, Ya Fei was naturally aware of that.

But if it were a sound transmission technique, the words just now were far too bold and explicit.

It felt more like... this youth's inner thoughts?

The "Xun'er" mentioned earlier must be Xiao Xun'er; she had been fortunate enough to see that child once.

She was indeed a very beautiful person.

But being told so bluntly that she wasn't as good as a younger girl, Ya Fei felt a bit unconvinced.

And what on earth was the "Dou Po must-have list"?

Although she had many questions in her heart, her excellent professional training quickly helped her suppress her thoughts.

With her graceful waist swaying, she sat directly opposite Xiao Yuan.

"Young friend, this is Miss Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of our Auction House and also the person in charge here."

Although Gu Ni did not want Xiao Yuan to go astray, since things had reached this point, he still introduced him to Ya Fei Mittal.

He could only hope that Xiao Yuan would come to his senses on his own.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Ya Fei."

Xiao Yuan greeted her politely.

However, he noticed that she seemed to be examining him with an intrigued gaze.

Especially on that smiling, beautiful face, her pair of watery, almond-shaped eyes seemed to be radiating temptation at every moment.

His gaze shifted unobtrusively past her long, elegant neck, and he nearly got sucked into the deep, milky-white cleavage.

Tsk, does she have to be so seductive?

Xiao Yuan politely averted his eyes, but his actions only made the smile on Ya Fei's face widen.

So much so that just as Xiao Yuan was about to introduce himself, she spoke first:

"Nice to meet you, little brother..."

"I presume you are the little genius of the Xiao Clan who shook Wutan City and forced the eldest daughter of the Nalan Family to change the terms of her engagement? I wonder what business you have with your big sister?"

That delicate, honeyed voice was still as bone-melting as ever.

Xiao Yuan did not answer, but instead took a deep breath, as if to calm his emotions, then looked at Ya Fei, and then at Gu Ni.

Ya Fei understood immediately and turned to look at Gu Ni.

"Master Gu Ni..."

"Right, this old man understands. Miss Ya Fei, I will leave this to you; I have other matters to attend to."

Gu Ni caught the hint immediately and took the initiative to leave the Appraisal Room, though the faint sound of a sigh drifted in from outside the moment he closed the door.

"Little brother, it's just the two of us here now. Can you tell me?"

Ya Fei rested her chin on one hand, her eyes shimmering with autumn ripples and a playful smile as she looked at him, the ample curves of her chest tracing a breathtaking arc.

Every frown and smile radiated a lethal attraction.

But this time, Xiao Yuan remained unmoved, shaking his head as he said, "Miss Ya Fei, what I want to discuss with you is a deal big enough to shake Wutan City. Are you sure you want to talk about it here?"

Hearing this, a flicker of doubt appeared between Ya Fei's willow-leaf brows.

Because she hadn't heard a single thought from the youth opposite her, but seeing the calmness in Xiao Yuan's eyes, she let it go.

"Fine, fine, fine. You really are a precocious little rascal. You wouldn't say it earlier, just had to make your big sister go through all this trouble."

The words sounded like a complaint, but they were more like coquettish teasing.

Ya Fei giggled as she stood up and led him out of the Appraisal Room.

Along the way, the staff of the Auction House watched the two of them, one following the other, with looks of utter astonishment.

It was the first time they had ever seen Miss Ya Fei personally lead the way for someone.

Ya Fei, naturally, didn't care about such things.

As for Xiao Yuan, his attention was fixed on the back of the woman in front of him.

Today, Ya Fei was wearing a red, form-fitting qipao with a high slit that left the scenery beneath the skirt partially visible, the tight fabric perfectly outlining her graceful curves.

Her willow-like waist swayed with an enchanting, bewitching charm.

Every step was a natural display of temptation.

But what drew the eye most were those long, slender legs encased in black silk, paired with red high heels.

Tsk tsk tsk, these legs are a match for Cousin Xiao Yu, though the style seems a bit different. Cousin Xiao Yu's legs are all about firmness and length, while this woman's, though not short, lean more toward being voluptuous.

She's practically a natural-born mature beauty; she has a unique charm.

Xiao Yuan critiqued her in his mind.

Little did he know, every word of his inner thoughts was falling clearly into Ya Fei's ears.

Ya Fei didn't feel the kind of anger a young girl might.

Having been an auctioneer for so many years, she had seen all kinds of guests and heard far more lewd remarks than this.

If anything, Xiao Yuan's evaluation in his heart only caused a flash of cunning to cross her eyes.

It was as if a hunter had set their sights on their prey.

Soon, Ya Fei led him to a room resembling a reception lounge.

This time, she even specifically instructed a servant to prepare tea.

"Little brother, can you tell your big sister now what kind of business you want to discuss?"

Ya Fei personally poured him a cup of hot tea and pushed it toward him.

Xiao Yuan took it, and just as he took a sip, he heard Ya Fei's incredibly sultry voice again.

"If little brother wants to discuss a multi-billion dollar deal, big sister won't refuse~"

Pfft!

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan nearly spat out the tea in his mouth, though he managed to hold it in at the last second.

Why does this woman start driving without any warning?!

So this is the kind of Ya Fei you really are?!

Xiao Yuan grumbled in his heart, and while sipping the tea to wash away the images he had conjured up, he tossed the bag he was carrying onto the table in front of Ya Fei.

"Please take a look at these first, Miss Ya Fei."
