Thirty, This Damn Charm!

"Have you had your fill?"

Just as Ya Fei's eyes brimmed with springtime allure, the young man before her spoke with a faint smile.

"Ah~"

Coming slightly back to her senses, two blushes instantly bloomed across Ya Fei's charming face. She instinctively turned her head away and murmured in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Mm."

Seeing her delicate, alluring demeanor, Xiao Dongchen could not help but lose himself for a moment. He had not expected Ya Fei, who had always been so worldly and experienced, to reveal such a girlish side.

"Well, if there's nothing else, see you another day?"

Smacking his lips, Xiao Dongchen did not know what to say, so he blurted out that low-EQ remark.

He could not exactly invite her to take a look at his bedroom, could he? That would be far too presumptuous!

"Ah?"

The moment she heard that, Ya Fei instantly sobered up. Her long, beautiful eyes stared intently at Xiao Dongchen, her red lips pressed tight, her lovely face filled with grievance.

"Am I really that unwelcome to you? You asked me to come, and now that we're done, you're driving me away. What do you take me for? Hmph!"

Turning half her body away, Ya Fei brushed the hair by her ear with her jade-like hand, stamped her little foot, and glared at him with feigned anger. "Hmph!" she said indignantly.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong. I was wrong, okay?"

Xiao Dongchen's head was suddenly twice as big. He reached out, wanting to comfort her, but felt that would be too abrupt, leaving him stuck where he stood.

Watching the scene from the bench, Xiao Yan was utterly dumbfounded. This was not cooperation at all—it was clearly flirting between a young couple!

Good grief, Brother Chen was insanely good at picking up girls!

He seemed to have visited Mite'er Auction House only once, yet he had already won over Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer renowned as the most beautiful woman in Wu Tan City?

Hadn't countless talented young men pursued her without success?

What happened to her reserve? Her pride?

No more words. Incredible!

"Since you know you were wrong, then how do you plan to compensate me?"

With a sudden change in tone, Ya Fei looked back and flashed him a radiant smile. In a soft, sultry voice, she asked, her large watery eyes full of pitiful vulnerability.

"Ah?"

This time, Xiao Dongchen was the one left stunned. Stroking his chin, he raised an eyebrow. After pondering for a while, he realized something was off.

In this game, who exactly was the hunter, and who was the prey?!

Creating opportunities to spend time together—he knew that routine all too well!

"How do you want me to compensate you?"

Xiao Dongchen looked teasingly at the beauty before him and spoke in a drawn-out tone.

"At Clearwind Grand Restaurant. Treat me to a drink. That should be fine, right?"

Seeing how unromantic the young man was, Ya Fei cast him a charmingly annoyed glance before speaking softly, her eyes rippling.

Rubbing the tip of his nose, Xiao Dongchen's lips curved slightly upward. He gently shook his head, his heart already clear as a mirror.

I guessed right. You gave yourself away—you're after this young master's body!

A moment later, he stepped closer and asked meaningfully, drawing out his words, "Then, Miss Ya Fei, what happens afterward~?"

To his surprise, Ya Fei twisted her willow-thin waist and pressed herself against him. Smiling with her beautiful eyes, she brought her red lips close to Xiao Dongchen's ear and said in a sweet voice only he could hear, "Sir, you're rather impatient. If we don't spend more time together, how will you become Ya Fei's favored guest?"

Holy shit!

That was blatant seduction!

This girl had seen through me from the start. I knew it!

For a moment, Xiao Dongchen felt numb.

The next second, he realized that this posture seemed a little too intimate!

A fragrant breeze washed over him, and a beauty stood within arm's reach!

Only at such close range did he truly feel how captivating this enchantress was: that shy yet seductive face, that swan-like jade neck, that snowy-white, deeply curving cleavage, that slender waist he could encircle with one hand, those long, fair legs, those crystal-clear jade feet—golden proportions, S-shaped curves. She was simply perfection!

If not for his nine years of compulsory education, an ordinary man probably would have lost control long ago!

Watching the man and woman pressed together, Xiao Yan nearly spat out a mouthful of tea, the corner of his mouth twitching fiercely.

Fine, no more pretending. They were flaunting their romance right in front of him. How was a single dog like him supposed to bear this?

No, wait. Brother Chen was so fickle—what would happen to Xun'er?

Sigh, forget it. I'll just pretend I didn't see anything!

"Fine, I'll treat you to a drink."

Suppressing the stirrings in his heart, Xiao Dongchen quietly took a step back, raised his head, and spoke as casually as he could.

"Alright. Three days from now, Clearwind Grand Restaurant. Don't stand me up!"

Ya Fei pursed her lips innocently, straightened up, and returned to her poised, graceful manner. Raising her slender hand, she waved at Xiao Dongchen, her cherry lips curved in a sweet smile.

Then, brushing past him, she walked forward and collected the pills. Only then did she sway her slender waist and say to the young man on the chair, "The money will be delivered within three days. And Young Master Xiao Yan, keep an eye on this fellow for me. Don't let him break our date!"

"Ah, this involves me too?"

Xiao Yan froze, scratched his head, then smiled helplessly.

The more he got involved, the more suspicious it would look. If Xun'er discovered it later, he would be in for a world of pain!

Honestly, he could not beat either of those two freakishly gifted young people from the Xiao Household!

Brother Chen, you really knew how to drag people into trouble. You got to enjoy the benefits, but not a single bit of blame was spared for your brother!

Ignoring Xiao Yan's reaction, Ya Fei turned and walked away. When she passed Xiao Dongchen, she tossed him a flirtatious glance and left behind a sultry, soft, "I'll be waiting for you~" before gliding away.

Watching her seductive retreating figure, Xiao Dongchen's lips curled bitterly, his mind in complete turmoil.

What kind of mess was this!

He had only teased her because it seemed fun, but she had actually fallen for him. Now he had no idea what to do.

After all, there had already been quite a few women like this.

What a headache. He was actually a little envious of Xiao Yan. Focusing wholeheartedly on cultivation—how carefree that was!

"Brother Chen, which number is this?"

Before he knew it, Xiao Yan had walked over, hooked an arm around Xiao Dongchen's shoulder, and asked with a smile.

"Sigh, it's just... pretty speechless!"

Xiao Dongchen frowned slightly and complained in confusion, "I didn't even do anything. Why are they all so crazy about me?"

"Love at first sight? Being too handsome really is troublesome! Or did they fall for my wealth? Maybe it's my mysterious, invincible background?"

"What a headache. Seriously, Xiao Yan, I really envy you. You don't have troubles like this. How nice must that be!"

Listen to that. Was that even something a human being would say?

You bastard, were you praising me or mocking me?

The dry ones died of drought, while the flooded ones drowned!

Seeing Xiao Dongchen's worried expression, Xiao Yan's face instantly turned strange, and he could not help gritting his teeth.

You know?

Who wouldn't like a little fairy like Xun'er? I've secretly loved her for a long time, but I know I'm not worthy of her, so I wished you happiness!

Yet you still went around flirting with everyone, then complained about your troubles. You really deserved to die!

And you say you envy me? I envy your ass! You've said everything already—what am I supposed to say?

If you hadn't helped me, if we weren't good brothers, would I have to put up with this? I'm too pitiful!

Letting go of Xiao Dongchen's arm, Xiao Yan suddenly felt depressed. He lowered his head, shoulders slumped, staring blankly into space.

After venting for a while, he was met only with silence. Xiao Dongchen finally turned his head and looked at Xiao Yan, who sat in a nearby chair with a slightly broken expression, utterly baffled.

What was wrong? Did I break through his defenses?

What happened to the mental fortitude he developed over three years of training?

"Sigh."

With a soft sigh, Xiao Dongchen quietly left. He should let the young man have some peace.

Being too outstanding could trouble other people too!
