46: Chapter 46, The Cheongsam Woman!

This pamphlet is the promotional booklet here, with many pictures accompanied by text descriptions.

The rings in the pictures are very beautiful, and even just as images, it’s clear that their craftsmanship, style, and design are definitely of the highest quality.

Superb!

And in the text below the pictures, there’s also an estimated price, which is the starting bid for this auction: starting at two hundred thousand.

“This ring belonged to an antique collector, I really like this design; it was worn by a noble from Ligastate last century,” Shen Binnan explained.

Fang Yi looked at her expressionlessly, “Do all you rich people have so much money it burns a hole in your pocket?”

Shen Binnan said, “Just a hobby.”

Fang Yi had no words.

The hobbies of the wealthy could involve splurging tens of thousands—it wasn’t anything remarkable, but that was a hobby only the rich could afford, way beyond the reach of poor folks.

Meanwhile, Fang Yi casually took the pamphlet from Shen Binnan’s hand, browsed through it out of boredom, and then followed Shen Binnan into the hall.

The people in the hall were of all sorts, not looking like they were here to bid, but more as if they had come to a ball, one by one dressed to the nines, except for Fang Yi, who looked rather shabby.

Shen Binnan took a glass of red wine and sipped it slightly.

Fang Yi came over and said, “I have a question.”

“Shoot.”

“Whose suit am I wearing?

Your ex’s?”

Shen Binnan looked at him with an ‘what the hell is going on in your head’ gaze, silent for a moment, “It was my dad’s.”

Fang Yi: “…”

Just then, a woman walked toward them with a little girl by the hand.

“Big brother!” A pretty girl who was as adorable as a porcelain doll rushed over and hugged Fang Yi’s waist.

Fang Yi patted his own forehead, looked towards the newcomers, and said, “Could you keep your sister in check?”

Lin Mengyan replied in a joking tone, “Her affection towards you is a sign of respect, don’t be unappreciative.”

“…Well, that’s quite the honor,” said Fang Yi, his mouth twitching as he bent down and patted the little girl’s head, “Let me go, little lady.

It’s not good for men and women to touch so freely.”

“But Yiyi likes hugging you like this, big brother,” Yiyi cooed.

Fang Yi was completely speechless.

“You really are charismatic,” Shen Binnan said with a half-grin.

“Not bad,” Fang Yi humbly replied.

“That’s enough, you can get lost now,” Shen Binnan said.

“Huh?”

Shen Binnan looked at Lin Mengyan, made eye contact, and without turning her head said, “I want to catch up with her.

It’s not proper for you, a big man, to be standing around us.

Lin Mengyan, don’t you agree?”

Lin Mengyan’s lips curled up in a faint, enigmatic smile, “Couldn’t agree more.”

“Er…”

“Right, look after Yiyi for me, don’t let the bad people run off with her,” Lin Mengyan said.

The exchange of looks between the two women made Fang Yi feel as if, like in the movies, sparks were flying between them—rest assured, not the sparks of love, but another kind.

It was as if there was a feud between the two women, with enemies turning extra hostile at each other’s sight.

…

Without Fang Yi having to say anything, Yiyi took hold of his hand.

Yiyi was ten, like a little princess, and was also dressed in a tailored princess dress, looking extremely adorable.

Leaving the two women behind, Fang Yi held Yiyi’s hand in one and the pamphlet in the other, flipping through it.

Suddenly, Fang Yi saw something in one of the pictures that caught his eye.

The object in the picture was ginseng, but unlike ordinary ginseng, this ginseng was blood red and only as big as a thumb, looking pitifully small.

This red ginseng, different from ordinary ginseng, had a higher starting bid due to its rarity—it started at fifty thousand.

Fang Yi felt a strong interest in this blood-red ginseng.

Not for any particular reason, except that Fang Yi had once seen in the old man’s medical books that this type of ginseng was rare and easily mistaken for ordinary ginseng.

There was a label in the picture naming this ginseng Fire Ginseng, but Fang Yi knew its real name—it should be called Dragon Blood Ginseng.

“Big brother~~~ Big brother~~~”

While Fang Yi was engrossed, his hand got shaken by the little girl, snapping him out of his trance.

The little girl was pouting with a cute and fair face, full of displeasure, “Big brother, what are you thinking about?

Don’t you like playing with Yiyi?

If you don’t want to, just tell me, and I won’t play with you.”

Fang Yi squatted down in front of the little girl and smiled, “Not at all, I was just thinking about something on my mind, but now I’m all yours.

Tell me what you want to play, I’ll take you.”

A little girl is easy to coax, especially a sweetheart like Yiyi.

If circumstances allowed, Fang Yi would immediately get her a lollipop.

Yiyi tilted her head in thought, then suddenly her eyes lit up, pointing at a woman’s head, “Big brother, I want that big red flower!”

“What big red flower…” Fang Yi muttered as he turned to follow the little girl’s pointed direction, and his eyes went wide.

The woman had her back to Fang Yi, but he could still see her slender and delicate figure, the woman was actually wearing a light red cheongsam.

(…)

While Fang Yi was gawking, a man in black suddenly whispered in the cheongsam woman’s ear, “Alliance Hierarch, someone’s ogling you.”

The corners of the cheongsam woman’s lips curled into a seductive smile, her arms crossed, “Let them look.

Isn’t that why I wore this, for people to look?” She was completely unconcerned.

The man in black had no choice but to say no more, yet he gave Fang Yi a fierce glare, clearly warning Fang Yi to back off.

“Big brother, that person looks so fierce,” Yiyi tugged at Fang Yi’s hand, slightly intimidated, “Never mind, I don’t want that big red flower anymore.”

Fang Yi shook his head and smiled, “No, if Yiyi wants it, then we must get it.

Wearing it, Yiyi will look very pretty.”

With that, Fang Yi took the little girl’s hand and approached the woman in the cheongsam.

As they got near, the man in black stepped in front of Fang Yi, his gaze sharp and menacing, he said coldly, “Back off!”

Fang Yi’s eyelids flickered as he replied, “I just want to say a few words to this beautiful lady; there’s no need for such rudeness.”

The man in black said, “Who do you think you are?

Get lost now or don’t blame me for getting physical!” Saying this, he had already started clenching his fists.

“Meng Wei, stop!”

However, before the man in black could make a move, the cheongsam woman suddenly turned around.
