Chapter 30 : Beautiful Yafei
Gu Ni raised a brow. "The Xiao family? What for?"
Ye Chen was about to answer when his eyes suddenly shifted toward the far end of the hall.
A section near the staff entrance, which had been quiet before, now seemed lively. Whispers filled the air as someone notable approached.
Ye Chen narrowed his gaze.
From the corner of the crowd, he saw a flash of bright red.
The click of high heels echoed across the smooth bluestone floor like a delicate melody. His gaze followed the sound and landed on a pair of red boots, polished to perfection.
Moving upward, he saw a pair of long, slender, snow-white legs...dazzling under the sunlight.
His eyes gleamed slightly.
"Those legs… so fair and smooth. No one else in Wutan could possibly wear them like that."
A smile crept across his lips.
"Sister Yafei… it really is you.
Ye Chen had a habit....he always judged a person by their legs first.
And at that moment, as a pair of dazzling snow-white legs entered his vision, he instinctively gave a perfect score in his heart.
Looking upward, his eyes landed on a strikingly beautiful face.....seductive, familiar, unforgettable.
"I knew those flawless legs looked familiar…"
Recognition dawned on Ye Chen as he softly muttered to himself. He had seen....and touched.....those legs many times in the past.
The hall buzzed with energy, but it was the sound of crisp footsteps that drew everyone's attention.
From the crowd emerged a woman in a radiant red brocade robe
. The luxurious fabric hugged her figure, accentuating every elegant curve—from her slender waist cinched by a silver belt, to the long legs that seemed to shine under the light.
She moved with the grace of a queen and the allure of a temptress.
Her peach blossom eyes scanned the hall like rippling spring water, carrying a subtle magnetism that made hearts race and breathing falter.
Men around her instinctively swallowed hard, their gazes unable to pull away.
Then her steps faltered....her eyes locked onto a young man in ornate robes standing not far off.
For a second, time froze.
The smile that played on her lips disappeared, replaced by wide-eyed disbelief.
The hall fell silent.
Everyone noticed the change in her expression.
They followed her gaze.....and saw the noble-looking young man she was staring at.
"Who is that guy?"
"Is it just because he's handsome?"
Envy surged through the crowd. Yet Ye Chen stood there unfazed, his expression calm and gentle as he smiled at her and said, "Sister Yafei… It's been a long time."
Her heart skipped a beat.
That voice....gentle, familiar, unforgettable.
In an instant, all doubts disappeared. The man who stood before her wasn't just any noble youth....he was the boy she had been thinking about day and night for the past three years.
Clack, clack, clack!
The sound of her heels echoed through the room as she hurried to him
. She stopped just in front of Ye Chen, her breath quickening, eyes filled with emotion.
The boy who once only reached her chest now stood equal in height, with an aura of maturity and strength that both surprised and moved her.
"Brother Ye Chen… You've grown up so much. I almost didn't recognize you."
Her voice trembled slightly as she looked up at him.
If it weren't for the many eyes watching, she would've thrown herself into his arms without hesitation.
For three years, Yafei had missed him. She had secretly sent people to the imperial capital every month to seek out news about him, always returning with nothing.
And now, here he stood.....more confident, more charming than ever.
"You've become even more beautiful than I remember," Ye Chen replied, quietly savoring her floral fragrance as it drifted toward him.
The elegant woman before him was none other than Yafei, his childhood friend and confidante from the Mittel family.
In truth, seeing her again had been Ye Chen's greatest reason for returning to Wutan City.
"Brother Ye Chen, this isn't the place to talk. Come with me."
Without waiting for a reply, Yafei reached out and gently grabbed his hand.
Ignoring the stunned and jealous gazes of everyone around, she pulled him from the hall.
The moment Yafei held Ye Chen's hand, the hall exploded into whispers.
"Who the hell is that guy?"
"Miss Yafei has never acted like this before!"
A middle-aged nobleman turned to Master Gu Ni, his voice thick with jealousy. "Who is this pretty boy? Why haven't I seen him before?"
Gu Ni shot the man a cold glance. "Idiot. Watch your mouth.
If you offend that young man, your entire family will be wiped out. Not even I can save you."
The color drained from the man's face. The entire hall grew quiet.
Gu Ni had never shown such seriousness....who was this mysterious young man, truly?
In a private lounge deep within the auction house, the moment the door closed, Yafei threw herself into Ye Chen's arms.
"Yafei—can't… breathe…"
Ye Chen's voice came out strained, his face turning slightly red.
Reluctantly, Yafei loosened her embrace. Her peach blossom eyes shimmered as she looked at the young man before her, a smile playing on her lips.
"You're still the same shy little brother I remember," she teased, her voice soft like silk.
Ye Chen took a step back, trying to calm the heat rising in his chest.
The feel of her body, her scent, her voice—it was overwhelming.
Three years had turned Yafei from a beautiful girl into a dangerously enchanting woman.
Every word, every smile, stirred something inside him.
And right now, standing this close, with her delicate face only inches from his, he felt a primal urge he hadn't expected.
She was no longer just a childhood friend.
She was a woman.
And she had to be his.
"I've waited long enough," he thought. "I came to Wutan City for this. For her."
His eyes grew firm as they settled on her gentle face. No more hesitation.
He would win her over.
No matter what.
