As she walked through the hall, her every step measured and elegant, a faint, playful smile graced her lips.
People greeted her respectfully, some perhaps admiring her beauty, but most bowing to the unmistakable authority her presence demanded.
With effortless poise, she responded with polite nods, gracefully dismissing any who dared approach too forwardly.
Her eyes, dark and lustrous like liquid spring water, scanned the room casually, yet they seemed to carry an unspoken seduction.
Any man meeting that gaze would feel a fire ignited deep within, a rush of heat that was hard to ignore.
But then, something unusual happened. As her eyes swept the hall, they froze, fixating on a figure ahead...Ye Chen, standing tall in his ornate robes.
Surprise and disbelief flashed across her face. She stopped in her tracks, completely captivated by the sight before her.
In that instant, she became the center of attention.
All eyes in the hall shifted toward her, but the woman's gaze remained fixed on Ye Chen.
Men around her stared, momentarily envious and unsettled.
Just a handsome face… what's the big deal? some thought bitterly, but seeing her reaction, they couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
Ignoring the stares and whispers, Ye Chen smiled softly at her. "Ya Fei, it's been a long time." His tone was warm, gentle, carrying the familiarity of someone who had shared countless childhood memories.
Recognition dawned. The woman's heart leapt. Standing before her was not just any young man...this was the boy she had thought of every day for the past three years, the one who had left an indelible mark on her heart.
Thud, thud, thud!
Her steps quickened, echoing like music across the polished floor as she approached him.
Finally, she stopped right in front of him, taking in his matured features.
The boy she had once towered over by a head was now fully grown, his presence commanding yet still familiar.
"Ye Chen… it's been three years. You've grown so much....I hardly recognize you," she said, holding back her excitement, her breath catching slightly as she raised her delicate face.
Had it not been for the crowd, she would have rushed into his embrace immediately. These past years, every thought, every moment, she had wished to see him again, sending messengers monthly to the capital to track his whereabouts.
"You've become even more enchanting over the years, Ya Fei," Ye Chen replied, inhaling faintly her sweet, subtle fragrance.
His heart stirred. The girl before him, once innocent and delicate, now exuded a potent allure that made it difficult to stay composed.
Of course, this beautiful woman in crimson was no stranger....she had grown up alongside him within the Mittel family..
She was his childhood companion, his closest friend, and now… his primary reason for coming to Wutan City.
"Ye Chen, we shouldn't linger here. Come with me," she said, her hand extending toward him, ignoring the envious gazes of men around them. With graceful authority, she guided him out of the hall.
Her initiative, reaching out and holding his hand, caused a stir.
"Master Guni, who is this pretty boy? I've never seen him before," a brash middle-aged man asked, a trace of jealousy in his voice.
"Fool," Guni snapped coldly, stepping forward. "Watch your tongue. If you anger him, not even your family can save you."
The man froze, pale as he realized the seriousness of Guni's words. Others in the hall glanced at the young man differently now, noting the respect and protection he commanded. Clearly, his status was no ordinary one.
Later, in a quiet room of the auction house, Ye Chen found himself tightly embraced by Ya Fei. He gasped lightly, trying to catch his breath.
The warmth of her body, the soft curve of her form, and her intoxicating scent awakened the fire coursing through him....the Dragon Elephant Body he had cultivated surged with energy.
How can I resist biting her…? he thought, heat rising in his lower abdomen.
Noticing his slight discomfort, Ya Fei finally released him, her cheeks flushed as a soft smile played on her lips.
"Ye Chen, it's been three years… and you're still as shy as ever," she teased lightly.
The woman before him was a temptress, a bewitching fairy who effortlessly stirred desire. Ye Chen's mind raced with determination.
I must win her over. I came here for her. There's no room for hesitation.
His eyes, burning with resolve, met hers. This time, I will not let her slip away.
Ye Chen, did you come all the way to Wutan City just to see me?"
Ya Fei's almond-shaped eyes glimmered with a teasing smile, her gaze soft yet playful.
"Of course," Ye Chen replied, feigning a wounded expression.
"Three years without seeing you… and you didn't even come to visit me once. Truly heartless."
"Oh? So it seems I still carry some weight in your heart, little brother," Ya Fei said, covering her mouth as she laughed, though a subtle glow of satisfaction flickered in her eyes.
Ye Chen smiled faintly, yet there was a teasing sparkle in his eyes. "I'd never forget you, Ya Fei.
Though you've always been overshadowed by talent and family favor, in my eyes, you've always mattered."
