Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 294 - 294 290 Overbearing

294: Chapter 290: Overbearing 294: Chapter 290: Overbearing Yun Qi made her way gracefully across most of the party hall toward Ye Fan.

As she approached Ye Fan, people noticed her and stopped their conversations, turning toward Yun Qi with smiles on their faces.

“Miss Dongfang.”

“Miss Yun Qi.”

…

…

Ye Fan and the other men courteously greeted Yun Qi.

Yun Qi nodded elegantly and smiled, “Hello, everyone.”

Then, she fluently called out each person’s name.

Except for Ye Fan, everyone whose name Yun Qi called out showed a flattered smile.

“Hehe, I apologize for interrupting your conversation,” Yun Qi said with a smile, her gaze fixed on Ye Fan.

The men, astute as they were, immediately understood that Yun Qi had approached not to chat with them but specifically to see Ye Fan.

“Haha, how could that be?” laughed the men loudly, casting envious glances at Ye Fan before finding excuses to walk away.

When unrelated people had left, Yun Qi stepped closer to Ye Fan and smiled gracefully, “I am very sorry about tonight, for you to leave empty-handed.”

“Hehe, Miss Yun Qi, you exaggerate.

It was an auction after all, and naturally, the highest bidder wins,” Ye Fan said with a light smile.

“How could I blame you?”

Yun Qi smiled and said, “May I know if you will still need these kinds of medicinal ingredients?

If you do, I can notify you when such items are auctioned again, or perhaps, put you directly in touch with the sellers.”

“I certainly do need them, thank you, Miss Yun Qi,” Ye Fan replied with a smile.

“By the way, do you happen to have friends who deal in medicinal herbs?

I urgently need a batch of ginseng and lingzhi with certain age qualities.”

“Is it a large quantity?” asked Yun Qi.

Ye Fan responded, “Around three million to five million, with a considerable age.

If there are items like the century-old ginseng auctioned tonight, there’s no limit to the transaction amount.”

“Hmm.

Alright, I will ask around for you, there should be some,” Yun Qi said.

Ye Fan smiled and replied, “Thank you.”

Yun Qi smiled sweetly.

After a pause, she said, “Ye Fan, would you be interested in meeting Miss Mo?”

“Uh?” Ye Fan was taken aback, immediately guessing that Mo Xiaoyan must be pretending not to know him.

However, it was unclear why she would employ Yun Qi to come and speak with him.

Seeing Ye Fan’s surprise, Yun Qi thought he was astonished because Mo Xiaoyan had taken a liking to him.

In fact, she was also a bit surprised that among so many young talents of Hua Hai at the party, Mo Xiaoyan had noticed Ye Fan distinctly from the crowd.

Although she knew Ye Fan had charm, it mainly came from his substance.

At a glance, Ye Fan presented as tall with a posture straight as a spear; approaching him gave a sense of a mysteriously powerful life force.

In other aspects, in terms of looks and demeanor, he was merely pleasant to look at but not particularly outstanding, certainly not comparable to the dashing, debonair, gentle, and elegant demeanor of Hua Hai’s new generation of “Four Young Masters.”

Ye Fan suppressed the surprise and confusion in his heart, and nodded lightly with a smile, “Sure.”

Dongfang Yunqi elegantly turned and gestured outward, saying, “Let’s go over there.”

Ye Fan nodded slightly, chatting leisurely with Dongfang Yunqi as they walked toward Mo Xiaoyan.

It was said that when Dongfang Yunqi had gone to call Ye Fan over, Mo Xiaoyan suddenly noticed a handsome and dashing young man approaching her with a warm smile.

She merely glanced at him once before shifting her gaze away.

To her, what dashing gentleman hadn’t she seen?

Because of Ye Fan, she was not in the mood to attend to those who swarmed around her only because of her beauty and family background, like flies with no real strength, the so-called elegant gentlemen of a troubled world.

However, despite her disinterest, Xiao Yichen still approached her.

“Hehe, Miss Mo, hello,” Xiao Yichen started a conversation in what he considered his most pleasant tone, his posture meticulous, his smile spot on, striving for perfection to make Mo Xiaoyan feel good at first sight.

Regrettably, Mo Xiaoyan just looked at him coldly and indifferently, speaking softly, “Hello.

I’m a bit tired right now and don’t want to talk.

Please, go ahead.”

Xiao Yichen’s smile froze, not expecting Mo Xiaoyan to dismiss him so directly.

But, he wasn’t about to back down.

“Hehe, yes.

Miss Mo, it’s your first visit to Hua Hai, and you’ve just met many famous ladies, you must be somewhat tired; I was too abrupt,” Xiao Yichen maintained his smile.

Then, he elegantly took two glasses of champagne and handed one to Mo Xiaoyan, smiling with concern, “Have some champagne.

It’s refreshing and can help soothe your fatigue.

I believe it will make you feel better.”

Mo Xiaoyan then looked straight at Xiao Yichen, who maintained his charming and warm smile.

“You are quite adept at grasping the opportunity,” Mo Xiaoyan coldly remarked.

“You must be a regular at these kinds of parties, and a veteran among the romantics…”

Xiao Yichen hastily replied with a chuckle, “Hehe, Miss Mo, you wrong me, Xiao Yichen.

I am still single, as everyone well knows.”

In just a few sentences of small talk, he managed to subtly reveal his name to Mo Xiaoyan and seemed ready to continue the conversation.

Regrettably, Mo Xiaoyan wasn’t a naive girl.

Having encountered such advances many times, she was not fooled.

She sneered disdainfully, slightly turning away, no longer paying attention to Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen was secretly infuriated by Mo Xiaoyan’s haughty dismissal but such neglect was not enough to drive him away.

He continued with a smile, “Miss Mo, given that you’ve just arrived, you may not be very familiar with the geography and culture of Hua Hai.

It happens that I’ve lived here for over twenty years, and am quite well-regarded in social circles, often honored as the foremost among the new generation of the Four Young Masters of Hua Hai.

If Miss Mo doesn’t mind, I’d be happy to show you around the best spots in Hua Hai…”

“Why trouble the great Young Master Xiao!”

Suddenly, a strong voice came from behind, causing Xiao Yichen to turn around angrily to see who dared to interrupt him.

As he turned, he immediately saw a tall figure followed by a pair of eyes gleaming coldly.

It was Ye Fan.

Xiao Yichen involuntarily shrank back a bit.

The fact that he had commissioned Jiang Yingming to hire thugs to ambush Ye Fan had been exposed.

According to the now crippled Jiang Yingming, with one hand ruined and one leg broken, Ye Fan was not only highly skilled in martial arts but also ruthlessly fierce, killing without blinking an eye.

He feared that Ye Fan might disregard the party’s atmosphere and seek direct revenge on him.

Ye Fan strode up to Xiao Yichen, looking down at him, a mere grasshopper who turned pale under his gaze, and disdainfully said in a calm voice, “You can leave now.”

Xiao Yichen, having never been treated with such contempt and rudeness, his handsome face flushed red.

Just as he was about to retaliate, he immediately felt Ye Fan’s eyes filled with murderous intent, an overwhelming aura pressing down on him.

He was instantly terrified, sweating profusely, stepping back and turning pale, left without uttering a word, slinking away in defeat.
