Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 467 - 467 463 Provocation

467: Chapter 463 Provocation 467: Chapter 463 Provocation An Qiye walked over to greet Dongfang Yunqi, and Dongfang Yunqi responded with a smile as usual.

An Qiye couldn’t help but let his gaze linger over Dongfang Yunqi’s entire body.

Tonight, Dongfang Yunqi was wearing a slim, luxurious gown that beautifully showcased her tall, graceful figure under the bright, hazy lights, making her exceptionally enchanting.

He inadvertently stared in awe for a moment before quickly regaining his composure and starting a conversation with Dongfang Yunqi.

After exchanging a few words with An Qiye, Dongfang Yunqi hinted that she was very busy and didn’t have time for small talk.

“Hehe, then I won’t bother you, you’re busy.” An Qiye said understandingly with a smile.

Turning away from Dongfang Yunqi, he returned to his seat.

An Qiye checked the time and found that his conversation with Dongfang Yunqi had lasted about half a minute longer than usual, which secretly pleased him.

“Qiye bro, look, that brat Ye Fan is here!” Jin Yongning suddenly exclaimed, “He’s talking with Dongfang Yunqi right now.”

An Qiye immediately turned his head and indeed saw Ye Fan standing in front of Dongfang Yunqi, talking to her.

From a distance, Dongfang Yunqi’s elegant, stunning face clearly bore a more joyful smile than the one she had during her conversation with him.

An Qiye’s handsome face involuntarily twisted slightly, and he immediately tried to appear nonchalant.

As for Jin Yongning and the others, their faces revealed jealousy, and they couldn’t help but mockingly say, “A toad wishing to eat swan meat!”

“Exactly, doesn’t he ever look in the mirror!

Weigh himself and see how much he’s worth!”

Although they didn’t have the courage to pursue Dongfang Yunqi, they couldn’t stand seeing Ye Fan, whom they considered far inferior, getting close to her.

Listening to the people around him attacking Ye Fan, An Qiye couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

“…Regarding using a gun with collectible memorial value, are you sure you want to use it as a birthday gift?” Dongfang Yunqi asked.

Ye Fan nodded slightly, “Decided.”

“Hehe, it just so happens that I received an auction item today, a Browning pistol from 1906.

It’s said to be one of the first real pocket pistols in the world and is the template for almost all current pistols,” Dongfang Yunqi said with a smile, “Your luck is not ordinary.”

Ye Fan couldn’t help but be delighted and said with a smile, “It looks like I won’t have to worry about going home empty-handed tonight.

Thank you.”

“However, the starting price is a bit high, two million,” Dongfang Yunqi said, “It clearly exceeds the price range for your grandfather’s birthday gift.”

Ye Fan said with a light smile, “That’s alright.

Special things deserve special treatment.

My grandfather is not a stickler.

He should really like this gift.”

He knew his grandfather had spent the first half of his life in the military, never without a gun, and had been half a sharpshooter.

Even though the country had been at peace for many years and he was now over ninety years old, he still had a special affection for guns.

If there were indeed a progenitor pistol to be collected, he would undoubtedly be delighted.

From a distance, although An Qiye looked at Ye Fan and Dongfang Yunqi with calm disdain, seeing Dongfang Yunqi laughing and talking with Ye Fan, and their conversation lasting significantly longer than his, made him wildly jealous.

“You still have to greet other friends, I won’t disturb you any longer,” Ye Fan said proactively.

Dongfang Yunqi smiled and nodded, “Hmm, I was just about to go backstage to arrange some work.

Let’s chat after the auction at the party.”

Ye Fan nodded slightly and turned to walk towards the chairs in the auction hall.

Dongfang Yunqi also stopped hosting other friends and left the hall.

Hu Jing had been keeping an eye on Ye Fan.

When Ye Fan walked over, she immediately raised her arm, which was as pale as a lotus root, to wave at him.

Ye Fan saw Hu Jing and walked over to sit down beside her.

“Are you very familiar with Yun Qi?” Hu Jing couldn’t help but ask.

Ye Fan responded with a faint smile, “It’s alright.

She has helped me a few times, but I haven’t had the chance to repay her.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Jing felt a wave of defeat inside.

Clearly, it wasn’t Ye Fan who deliberately befriended Yun Qi; instead, it was Yun Qi who took the initiative to befriend Ye Fan.

Although she was confident in herself, facing a woman like Yun Qi, who was superior in terms of identity, abilities, and even beauty and temperament, she could only look up to her.

She looked down at her clothes and felt that, although she had dressed up to further her relationship with Ye Fan today, she suddenly lost all her confidence.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Fan noticed the sudden dimness in Hu Jing’s expression and couldn’t help but ask.

Hu Jing looked up and forced a slight smile, “I’m fine.”

“Oh.” Ye Fan acknowledged with a word, did not pursue further, and picked up a list of tonight’s charity auction to skim through.

The list was much more detailed than the invitation, not only listing all the items for auction tonight but also providing a brief introduction to each.

Hu Jing thought Ye Fan would inquire further but he seemed indifferent, which made her feel even more dejected.

She too picked up an auction list, pretending to focus on it while her mind swirled with thoughts.

She couldn’t help but stealthily glance at Ye Fan with a corner of her eye, and upon seeing his chiseled, resolute profile, she fell slightly into a daze.

In the past, she had looked down on Ye Fan, thinking that he was just a fortunate beneficiary of nepotism.

After initial contact, she found that Ye Fan did have some substance and began to treat him ordinarily, even contemplating competing with him for power and outmaneuvering him.

But, as she got to know Ye Fan more, she realized that he was far from the simple person she had imagined and was someone she had to completely look up to.

Indeed, look up to.

Even so, she was still uncertain about how much of the iceberg she had seen of Ye Fan.

Just then, she suddenly heard a series of arrogant footsteps approaching, which tensed up the atmosphere inexplicably.

Startled, she quickly looked in the direction of the footsteps and saw three or four pompous, well-dressed young men striding towards her and Ye Fan.

Ye Fan had long noticed the three or four entitled men coming towards him.

He glanced over these individuals, recognized two familiar faces after a moment of thought, and remembered they were the troublemakers who had appeared when he had late-night snacks with Yun Qi on Thursday night.

“Ye Fan, those guys…” Hu Jing said in a low, worried voice.

Ye Fan gave a dismissive chuckle, “Just a few annoying mad dogs who don’t even understand the situation.”

Hearing Ye Fan say this, Hu Jing instantly felt reassured.

Although she knew the four men all came from notable backgrounds, she believed that Ye Fan could easily dismiss them.

While they were talking, Jin Yongning and Meng Zhanpeng and others already approached Ye Fan, looking down scornfully at him as he sat unmoving.

The other two young men saw that although Ye Fan was tall and held himself straight, which gave him some presence, his skin had obvious signs of being sunburnt, and his clothes, though new, seemed cheap, merely a two hundred yuan outfit.

At a glance, it seemed like a worker had bought a new outfit just to fit into such an upscale charity auction.

Therefore, their disdain and jealousy towards Ye Fan intensified.

“Kid, you think you’re worthy of attending a charity auction?” one of the young men, Song Kai, said in a haughtily scornful tone.

Another young man immediately scoffed dismissively, “Definitely here to fish in troubled waters, thinking about freeload at the charity auction’s party!”

“Where did these mad dogs come from, snarling at people?” Ye Fan glanced at the two men, and said lightly.
