Chapter 147 The First Summary Meeting of the Opening
The nights in Yanmao District are destined to be turbulent.
The dramatic scene during the day where the overbearing prince carried away the handsome young man in public was like a spark thrown into boiling oil, instantly igniting the gossip spirit of the entire city!
Its popularity and rapid spread far surpass any carefully choreographed drama at the Lucky Star Theater!
In the streets, teahouses, restaurants, and even the VIP room of Yueji Pavilion, everyone was discussing with great excitement and saliva flying:
"Have you heard? That look in Prince Yong's eyes! Tsk tsk, it's like he wants to eat me!"
"That young man is being carried on his shoulders, and his waist is so thin... Ouch!"
"What little squire?! That's Princess Fuxing dressed as a man! But... it's absolutely amazing!"
"The Overbearing Prince Falls in Love with Me (Limited Edition of Jade-Faced Young Master)! This plot! Even more exciting than the storybook!"
"Your Highness, this man's attire is so insane! Even a woman like me is getting my heartbeat quickened just by looking at it!"
"The ranking of the most popular handsome men in Yanmao District has been updated! Princess Fuxing (male version) is number one by a huge margin! She crushes all the young men!"
The image of the jade-faced young man Dongfang Yuning reached the pinnacle of aesthetic taste in Yanmao District, especially among female groups, overnight, and his position is unshakable!
In the dreams of countless ladies, there is a stunning figure in a moon-white brocade robe, whose gender is difficult to distinguish.
That night, the meeting hall of the palace was brightly lit. Participants:
Nangong Yijun & Nangong Lintian looked with complicated eyes at their aunt who was nestled in the emperor's uncle's arms, looking obviously wilted and like a kitten that had been rubbed too much.
Nangong Lintian reports:
"We've completed monitoring of public opinion inside and outside the venue. While the Jade-faced Young Master has become a hot topic, it hasn't affected the reputation of Tiangong Pavilion. Instead...it's increased its sense of mystery and allure."
Nangong Yijun added: "There's been a strong response from the female guests for my aunt to continue hosting tomorrow."
Nangong Yue, with her increasingly obvious pregnant belly, was carefully helped to sit down by Shen Xiaoyun.
Looking at her aunt's "battle-damaged" appearance, she wanted to laugh but felt distressed, so she could only give her a look that said thank you for your hard work.
Chen Xiaoyun helped his beloved wife sit down, while he stood straight, his fox eyes gleaming, the corners of his mouth grinning so wide that they almost reached the back of his ears, his whole body emitting the excited aura of "I've made a fortune!"
In his hand he held an account book as thick as a brick.
Nangong Ye still had that unparalleled handsome yet dark face, like the ultimate Tibetan mastiff guarding his territory.
He held Dongfang Yuning, who had softened like a pool of spring water, firmly in his arms, his big hands possessively wrapped around her waist, his eyes sharply scanning every male creature present, mainly Chen Xiaoyun and his two nephews, full of warning.
Only when he lowered his head to look at the person in his arms, would a barely perceptible trace of...satisfaction and heartache flash across his icy eyes.
Dongfang Yuning was like a lazy cat, nestling softly in Nangong Ye's warm and solid arms, with a blush still on her little face and drooping eyelashes. She looked like her body was hollowed out, but she was still in good spirits.
The little man in her heart was complaining madly:
[118, I feel like a piece of dough being kneaded repeatedly... Is Brother Aye's physical strength... a perpetual motion machine?]
System 118 (sympathy mixed with a touch of schadenfreude):
[Ding! Host, according to the law of conservation of energy, your 'limp' state and the prince's 'refreshed' state form a perfect closed loop!]
(The system displays a Q-version Dongfang Yuning whose battery is depleted and grayed out, while the Q-version Nangong Ye next to him has a "full battery" symbol above his head.) However, looking at the revenue generated... it's worth it!]
"cough!"
Financial Director Shen Xiaoyun cleared his throat and forced himself to suppress the laughter that threatened to burst out of his throat. He was mainly thinking about the emperor's uncle's heroic deeds today and his current sullen face. He tried to make his voice sound professional and steady, but the slightly trembling ending still betrayed the turmoil in his heart:
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness! The first day of the Tiangong Pavilion Second Division Auction (Hardware Section) has concluded successfully! After twelve hours of non-stop calculations by the accounting team, we have finally confirmed: the total transaction volume for the first day is—"
He took a deep breath, used all his strength, and pronounced a figure word by word, which made everyone present (except Nangong Ye) gasp:
"Gold! Three million, eight hundred and seventy-six thousand, five hundred and forty-two taels! Exactly!"
Dead silence!
The teacups in Nangong Yijun and Nangong Lintian's hands fell onto the table with a clang, and they didn't even notice the tea splashing everywhere!
Nangong Yue took a breath of cold air and subconsciously covered her stomach!
Dongfang Yuning's originally dull eyes suddenly widened into a wide circle! Her mouth opened slightly, enough to fit an egg!
"Three...three million eight hundred and seventy thousand?! Tongzi! Quick! Pinch me! Am I dreaming?!"
System 118 (data flow is crazy):
[Ding! Confirmed! Host! You're not dreaming! Three million, eight hundred and seventy-six thousand, five hundred and forty-two ounces! Pure gold!]
(The system frantically sprinkles gold coins in Dongfang Yuning's mind, with a huge '$' firework in the background) We're rich! We're rich! The construction funds for Yanmao District are completely maxed out! Your cat and dog manor can be inlaid with diamonds!]
Before anyone could recover from their shock, Shen Xiaoyun immediately threw out an even more explosive proposal, his voice rising a few notches with excitement:
"Your Highness! Based on feedback from the venue and public opinion analysis, the female guests have extraordinary enthusiasm and anticipation for you... ahem, for Jade-faced Young Master to host today's skincare and elixirs special event!
The support is so high, it's like everyone is united! I boldly suggest that, in order to give back to customers, improve customer satisfaction, and maximize the profits of this special event... I implore Your Highness to continue hosting the event tomorrow as the elegant young master!
Before he finished speaking, the air pressure around Nangong Ye instantly dropped to freezing point!
That cold gaze was like a physical blade, piercing Shen Xiaoyun with a "swish"!
The temperature in the entire conference room plummeted! Even the candlelight seemed to be flickering from the cold!
System 118 (Alarm):
[Ding! 'Jealous King·Tibetan Mastiff·Ye' rage mode activated! Locked target: Shen Fox!
Killing intent maxed out! Director Shen is in danger! (The system displays a black flame burning above Nangong Ye's Q-version head, with the blood-red word "danger" in the background)
Nangong Yijun & Nangong Lintian madly reduced their presence:
Director Shen! Brother-in-law, a warrior! You're so bold! The Emperor's uncle's eyes can kill!
Nangong Yue: [Xiaoyun! You…you’re risking your life for money?! Hurry up and wink at your aunt!]
Dongfang Yuning instantly felt the arm around her waist tighten its grip, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She could even hear the "clacking" sound of her husband's back teeth rubbing against each other!
Her desire to survive immediately exploded!
The soft little hand quickly covered Nangong Ye's big hand that was around her waist, and her fingertips gently drew circles on the back of his hand in a flattering manner. At the same time, she raised her little face and used her big watery eyes with a little mist.
Looking pitifully at his tense jawline, her voice was soft and sticky, with a lazy and coquettish tone as if she had just woken up:
"Husband, you see, Director Shen is also doing this for the greater good. There are so many lovely sisters and sponsors waiting for you. If they are happy, our Yanmao District will be more prosperous, and we can earn more money to buy sweets for you, husband."
As she spoke, she rubbed her little head against his neck, like a spoiled little kitten.
"My husband is the best, the most understanding, and the one who loves Ning'er the most. Just agree to this, okay? Ning'er promises that she will come back immediately after the show and will never even glance at anyone else! Okay~~"
System 118 (Tactical Eye Cover):
[Hiss… Host! Your skill in acting cute and adorable… has reached perfection! 'Clip Sound' + 'Scratch Kill' + 'Sugar-Coated Bullet'!]
The prince's defense... is crumbling! (The system shows the black flames above Nangong Ye's head being eroded by pink bubbles)
Nangong Ye's body visibly stiffened. The soft touch on his neck and the sweet, coquettish voice tickled his tense nerves like feathers.
I lowered my head to meet those eyes filled with innocence and pleading, and felt the seductive movements on the back of her hand... Some charming scenes from the room just now flooded into my mind uncontrollably...
His Adam's apple rolled heavily, and the violence and coldness surging in his eyes, like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun, began to melt and transform at a speed visible to the naked eye... and finally settled into a deep helplessness that was accompanied by a warning and infinite pampering.
He snorted coldly, his voice still low, but the freezing coldness was obviously weakened:
"Just this once! If you ever see those women looking at you like that again..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, but the possessiveness in his eyes and the hint of some kind of love re-education made Dongfang Yuning and Shen Xiaoyun shudder at the same time.
Dongfang Yuning immediately smiled and nodded like a chick pecking at rice:
"Mmmmm! My husband is the best! Ning'er loves my husband the most!"
Inner thought: [Huh… all clear! I have to work harder tonight to tame this giant Tibetan Mastiff and have him be my gatekeeper tomorrow!]
Chen Xiaoyun wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead as if he had just survived a catastrophe.
heart:
[My aunt is mighty! With her wealth and beauty, she's invincible! The emperor's uncle... deserves his fate!]
