I’m a Villain! Why Are You Trying to Date Me?
Chapter 47

Chapter 47

Unknowingly, Bai Bing’er had already become emotionally involved. Lin Tian’s thoughts were now quietly influencing her actions and emotions. A faint smile even appeared on her face, without her realizing it, all because Lin Tian had mentally complained about the other two girls.

She leaned back, adjusted her chair, and angled herself again to see Lin Tian’s side profile.

Bai Ze, her father, was stunned.

Where did my little princess go? Why is she sitting over there now?

He turned to look at her and was even more shocked. His daughter, who had always been emotionally detached due to her ability to see through people’s hearts, now looked genuinely joyful. She was excited, like a young girl in love.

Is it because of that boy?!

Bai Ze’s heart filled with a sour, helpless emotion.

Have I raised my precious cabbage for 20 years, just for it to be taken by some random pig*?!

TL/N: This is a funny metaphor used by parents unsatisfied with their daughter’s choice of spouse.

Still, he didn’t say anything. If it were someone she truly liked, he wouldn’t stop her. But when he looked again, he saw Shang Chan and Zhao Mengmeng beside Lin Tian. His jaw dropped.

No way… All three girls like the same guy?!

His face darkened. He wanted to yank Bai Bing’er back, but he knew her too well. Once she decidedon  something, not even he could stop her.

Just as he sighed deeply, he suddenly met the eyes of Zhao Dongyun. They’d been business rivals for years. But now, the battle wasn’t about business. It was about… their daughters. And when Bai Ze saw Zhao Dongyun looking helpless and furious, he smiled.

Lu Xun once said that people don’t truly understand each other’s joy or sorrow. But I disagree! Other people’s sorrow is my happiness!

Zhao Dongyun saw that smug grin and got even angrier. On one side, the Bai and Zhao families were in a subtle tug-of-war between juniors and elders alike. On the other side, Jiang Yifeng’s eyes lit up.

When the 24-kilogram agarwood log was brought on stage, his body reacted. He felt a craving, a pulse of desire!

My heavenly sacred body had reacted to a natural treasure! I have to win this!

Jiang immediately began planning his bid. He never imagined a casual auction visit would turn into a fateful encounter with something that could boost his physique.

Xuan Yuan Qingya glanced at him coldly.

So, Lin Tian was right. This really is Jiang Yifeng’s destined item.

But after what Jiang did to her, how could she possibly let him have it?

Thinking of Lin Tian’s internal monologue, she smiled faintly.

Jiang had spent 800 million to win it in the original timeline but only after he had acquired Xinghai group and Ice Eye group.

With his current finances, how much can he bid now?

She didn’t care. The Xuan Yuan family had never lacked money.

If he bids eight hundred million, I’ll bid 1.8 billion! Let’s see him beat that.

But then she noticed that Bai Bing’er, Shang Chan, and Zhao Mengmeng all seemed to have feelings for Lin Tian. Xuan Yuan Qingya’s eyes dimmed slightly.

She didn’t realize that her emotions were already being influenced by Lin Tian’s words, his thoughts… his very presence. And even if she did realize it, she wouldn’t run from it.

Ordinary flowers wither under the sun, proud snow-blooming plum blossoms never do.

Despite how chaotic everything seemed with the chairs scraping, fathers fuming, and girls maneuvering, only ten seconds had passed since the partitions were removed.

Now, everyone was exposed to the main hall. On stage, auctioneer Xue Xue bowed slightly and spoke softly:

“Dear guests, the sealed bidding will begin. You may discuss among yourselves now. In ten minutes, please submit your bids in sealed envelopes. We’ll determine the winner afterward.”

Lin Tian broke out in cold sweat.

[Ten seconds in, and these women have already caused so much drama. Ten minutes? I might not survive at all…]
