Chapter 116: You Understand Me Best
Ye Fei gazed into Li Yuan's deep, obsidian-black eyes.
After staring at him for a moment, Ye Fei smiled and said half-jokingly, "You guys spoil me so much, I'm easily getting carried away."
"Little sister, fly with confidence, your older sister will always be with you!" The Seventh Elder made a gesture to Ye Fei with unparalleled domineering power.
"It's only right to spend some money on Xiao Fei," Huang Rongyu replied with a gentle smile, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Huang Yingyue covered her mouth in surprise: My God! When did my brother become willing to spend so much money on a girl?
Waaah, even her younger sister doesn't receive this much love!
Upon hearing Huang Rongyu's words, Li Yuan's eyes darkened.
His gaze followed Ye Fei's eyes closely, and his slender hand held onto the hem of Ye Fei's clothes, as if he wouldn't let go until she agreed.
Ye Fei was utterly bewildered. Wait, are you two vying for his affections?!
"Stop! Stop!"
Seeing the atmosphere getting increasingly awkward, Ye Fei quickly spoke up to stop it: "I'm very grateful that you're willing to spend money on me, but my conscience really bothers me... How about this, if there's anything I want, you can lend me the money first, and I'll pay you back as soon as possible, okay?"
Huang Rongyu felt a little disappointed: "Xiao Fei, actually you don't have to pay it back..."
As the third prince, he was not short of money and was happy to spend it on her.
The Seventh Elder squinted, surprised that Little Fei'er was so proud and unwilling to let anyone take advantage of her.
Li Yuan didn't think for long before agreeing: "I promise you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei beamed with joy: "As expected of my little brother, you understand me best!"
Looking at her radiant smile, Li Yuan's dark eyes softened.
Meanwhile, in a private room on the second floor.
Ye Ning sat beside Ye Jingyao, her gaze sweeping back and forth across the third floor.
"Father, will His Highness the Third Prince come to the auction?" Ye Ning felt uneasy for some reason, as if something was going to happen to hinder her.
Ye Jingyao said in a deep voice, "I don't know if other members of the royal family will come, but His Highness the Third Prince will definitely come."
Ye Ning asked in surprise, "Father, why are you so sure?"
"I have received news that a rare light-type spiritual master technique will be auctioned this time. His Highness the Third Prince is a light-type spiritual master, so he will definitely not miss it."
Ye Ning took a deep breath and raised her hand to adjust the jade hairpin in her hair.
In order to befriend the Third Prince, she dressed up specially, put on the dress she had bought at great expense, and appeared at Wugui Pavilion in her most perfect form.
Once the auction is over, she is determined to win the heart of the Third Prince.
Only if she catches his eye can she legitimately enter Lingfeng Academy...
Ye Ning slightly curved her lips, but her hands inside her sleeves clenched into tight fists.
...
With a loud chime, the noisy and bustling scene gradually calmed down.
The annual Wuguige Auction, which has attracted much attention from all sides, has officially begun.
The man who stepped onto the auction stage was a handsome young man in a blue robe. He held a folding fan and had a smiling expression on his face, making him seem easy to get along with.
"Welcome, distinguished guests, to Wugui Pavilion. I am Zhu Ying, a steward of Wugui Pavilion, and I will be presiding over the auction this year."
With a flick of her folding fan, Zhu Ying led a beautiful woman in a purple robe to the auction stage, carrying a tray.
"Without further ado, the auction will begin immediately—the first item up for auction is a piece of Crimson Flame Gold Crystal weighing thirty catties from the Flying Snow Mine of Lingyun Kingdom!"
