After waiting for the auction to end, Gu Yuan, led by his maid back to the reception room, sat in a chair with a calm demeanor. He stared up at the ceiling, greedily breathing in the cool air. A grand occasion was a grand occasion, and even this reception room was so grand and elegant.
Just as Gu Yuan was waiting for the maid to bring his chain mail and elixirs, two cheerful and light voices were heard.
"Sister Wan'er, I didn't expect you to come in person. Why didn't you tell me so that I could make arrangements for you." With a hint of blame, Lie Yu'er and Lan'er supported Lin Wan'er and walked into the reception room.
"Hehe, I just came over to take a look. Sister Yu'er is so busy, how could I bother you? I just didn't expect that Sister Yu'er's popularity seems to be far beyond my expectations." Lin Wan'er stuck out her tongue and teased Lie Yu'er.
"Hmph, I think you're asking for a beating. How dare you come out when you're so weak?" Lie Yu'er was mature and charming on the stage, but at this moment she cared about Lin Wan'er like an older sister next door.
"It's okay. I'm just bored. It's good to come out and take a look. If you stay in for too long, you'll get sick."
"Hey, is it her?" Gu Yuan exclaimed softly. No wonder the voice seemed familiar. He didn't expect that she actually knew that enchanting beauty.
As soon as the three of them entered the reception room, they instantly attracted the attention of many people. Lie Yu'er was charming and seductive, while Lin Wan'er had a youthful and yandere look, both of them were top beauties. Lan'er, while not stunningly beautiful, was also quite pretty.
"Mr. Gu, so you are here too." Lin Wan'er, who had just come in, immediately saw Gu Yuan who looked calm and composed, and stepped forward to greet him in surprise.
Gu Yuan stood up and nodded. Because of the help this sickly girl had given him before, he still had some good feelings towards Lin Wan'er.
"Do you know each other? Wan'er, won't you introduce him to your sister? Is he the young man you secretly met without telling your sister?" Lie Yu'er teased Lin Wan'er in return, making Lin Wan'er blush.
She rolled her eyes at Lie Yu'er and said, "This is Master Gu Yuan. I've met him at the door before."
"Hello, I'm Gu Yuan."
Gu Yuan habitually extended his hand towards Lie Yuer, but this friendly gesture caused an uproar in the quiet reception room.
"What the hell? Who is that guy? He actually wants Miss Yu'er to shake his hand?"
"Don't stop me! I'm going to beat that guy to death!"
"Brother in front, move aside and let me go first!"
Gu Yuan turned around and looked at the people behind him, feeling somewhat helpless. This woman was indeed a witch.
Lan Er, standing by, looked at Gu Yuan and chuckled. Serves him right! Who told this guy to say our young lady was in poor health? Although the young lady was indeed in poor health...
Lin Wan'er looked at Gu Yuan's outstretched hand, and her face instantly became stunned. She secretly glanced at Lie Yu'er beside her. She knew Lie Yu'er's character very well. Although she looked like a socialite, she was actually very indifferent at heart. Just look at how she treated those suitors over the years... Therefore, Gu Yuan's initiative to extend his hand at this time was considered a polite gesture by others, but in Lin Wan'er's view, Gu Yuan was being self-indulgent, and this would probably only put him in an embarrassing situation.
After a long time without any response from Lie Yu'er, Gu Yuan sighed secretly as he looked at the enchanting beauty in front of him. That's right, he wasn't an acquaintance of hers, nor was he a big shot, so why should she give him face?
"Hey, I told you, this brat dares to touch my goddess? How embarrassing!"
"What do you mean by your goddess? The one I see is my goddess!"
"That's my goddess! Just look at how shabby she looks, my goddess will definitely..."
Suddenly, the man stopped talking, as if something was stuck in his throat, veins on his face emerged, and his face turned red.
After a slight hesitation, Lie Yu'er placed her jade-like fingers into Gu Yuan's hands. "Hello, I'm Lie Yu'er, the chief auctioneer of Tianxuan Auction House."
Gu Yuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this enchanting beauty would not put him in trouble after all.
"Fuck him! He dared to touch my goddess' hand? I will fight him to the death!"
"That's right! I want to duel him!"
Gu Yuan lightly touched her with his fingers and immediately withdrew his hand without paying attention to the scolding from the people behind him. Even though he had many thoughts about this enchanting beauty in the audience before, he did not show any abnormality at this moment.
Lie Yuer raised her eyebrows slightly. The guy in front of her, who was dressed simply and even a little shabby, was different from others. When others saw her, their eyes were full of enthusiasm, but why was his look always calm?
Could it be that my charm has decreased? Lie Yuer laughed in her heart. The person in front of her was just a little brat. What did he know?
Lin Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that Lie Yu'er didn't reject Gu Yuan. This was a good thing.
"Mr. Gu Yuan, right? Your chain mail and recovery pills cost a total of 10,000 gold coins. Would you like to pay in cash?" A maid walked in from outside with two items on a tray in her hand.
"Pay in cash."
"It turns out to be him." Lie Yuer murmured softly. No wonder the voice sounded familiar.
"Sister Wan'er, go over there and rest first. I'll go find out for you if there's anything you need." Lie Yu'er looked at Lin Wan'er and said.
"Well, don't worry. I don't have much hope this time anyway. If there is really nothing, then forget it." After saying that, Lin Wan'er's face seemed to become even paler.
"I'll help the young lady to rest." Lan'er said in panic.
"Excuse me, Master Gu."
Looking at Lin Wan'er's pale face, Gu Yuan couldn't help but frown. He didn't know what was wrong with her body. Maybe he could help her.
