47: Chapter 47, Nice Bootlicking!
“Wow, big sister, you’re so beautiful,” Yiyi exclaimed with admiration.
The woman wearing a cheongsam had an oval-shaped face, her fringe neatly swept up, slightly long eyelashes, lightly drawn brows, and beautiful, captivating eyes that sparkled with bravery.
Her nose was pert and adorable, and her lips alluringly beautiful, like juicy watermelon, just a gentle dab of lipstick yet enough to make men’s hearts race.
And she was far more beautiful from the front than from the back.
The woman in the cheongsam exuded a subtle charm mixed with that bravery; it was precisely such a temperament that rendered her inscrutable.
This was not an ordinary, simple woman.
Fang Yi thought to himself silently.
When the cheongsam-wearing woman heard Yiyi’s compliment, she seemed pleased and thus the corners of her pretty mouth curled into a lovely smile.
She looked at Yiyi and said, “You’re pretty too.”
The little girl modestly responded, “Not at all, I’m not as pretty as you, big sister.
You’re as beautiful as my sister.”
What’s your sister’s name?” The cheongsam-clad woman had already noticed that Yiyi was no ordinary girl.
“My sister’s name is Lin Mengyan,” Yiyi said with no small measure of pride.
Upon hearing this, the cheongsam woman’s expression changed slightly, and the black-clothed man named Meng Wei behind her had a dramatic shift in his expression.
Fang Yi caught the change in both of their demeanors, realizing that these two were aware of Lin Mengyan’s reputation.
However, the woman in the cheongsam remained relatively calm.
She suddenly turned to Fang Yi, extended her hand, and introduced herself, “My name is Bai Jingjing.”
“Bai Jingjing?” Fang Yi felt the name was vaguely familiar.
“Yes, you heard right.
It’s Bai Jingjing, just like the White Bone Spirit from a movie,” Bai Jingjing said with a laugh.
“Oh, I am Fang Yi.” Since she extended such courtesy, Fang Yi naturally didn’t want to lose face.
Their hands met in a handshake, but Meng Wei, who followed behind Bai Jingjing, showed a flash of anger in his eyes, seemingly disgruntled by this interaction.
After the handshake, Fang Yi said, “Miss Bai really is stunningly beautiful.”
“That’s kind of you, but I don’t know your relationship with Lin Mengyan…” Bai Jingjing trailed off.
Fang Yi knew why Bai Jingjing’s attitude towards him had suddenly changed and he replied lightly, “Friends.” He didn’t specify how deep or shallow this friendship was; he left it all to Bai Jingjing’s imagination.
Bai Jingjing slightly squinted her lovely eyes as if sizing up Fang Yi.
She smiled and asked, “I wonder what you need from me…”
“It’s , she would like the big red flower in your hair,” Fang Yi said.
The big red flower was a decoration in Bai Jingjing’s hair, meant to highlight her noble temperament, but she was evidently surprised by Fang Yi’s request.
However, before she could reply, Meng Wei behind her spoke up indignantly, “Kid, isn’t your demand a bit unreasonable?”
“I’m not making an unreasonable request.
If Miss Bai is willing to give it, then she can; if not, I won’t insist,” Fang Yi replied.
Bai Jingjing smiled faintly and said, “Well spoken.
It’s just a big red flower, after all.
Please forgive my subordinate’s ignorance,” she said as she took the red flower from her hair and handed it to Yiyi.
“Thank you, big sister,” Yiyi said, holding the big red flower, extremely elated.
Having obtained the red flower, Fang Yi took his leave, and Bai Jingjing did not hold them back.
She watched Fang Yi and Yiyi depart, while Meng Wei dissatisfiedly remarked behind her, “Alliance Hierarch, was such consideration necessary for this boy, merely because of that Lin Family young lady?”
Bai Jingjing replied, “That little girl is Lin Mengyan’s sister.
Both out of affection and reason, I should give her the red flower.
It’s just a flower after all, no need to be petty about it.
As for that Fang Yi, it’s the first time we meet, but think with your ‘pig’s brain’ for a moment—would Lin Mengyan let her sister be accompanied by a friend with who she is only faintly acquainted?”
Her words made the situation very clear; Bai Jingjing surmised that Fang Yi’s relationship with Lin Mengyan was not simple.
Meng Wei wanted to say more, but Bai Jingjing cut him off, “Who exactly is the Alliance Hierarch here, me or you?” Her words carried an air of dominance.
Meng Wei had no choice but to fall silent, closing his mouth.
Although this Alliance Hierarch of his seemed easy to talk to, if she got angry, it would be nothing for her to give him a beating.
“Sis, look, a big red flower!” Back at Lin Mengyan’s place, Yiyi said while showing off the big red flower she held.
“So beautiful, who gave it to you?” Lin Mengyan asked.
“It was a big sister named Bai Jingjing who gave it to me,” Yiyi said proudly.
Lin Mengyan’s brows furrowed as she suspiciously glanced at Fang Yi.
Fang Yi replied with a wry smile, “I really don’t know who that Bai Jingjing is.
I saw that Yiyi liked the big red flower, so I went to get it for her.”
“You wouldn’t know, that’s quite normal.
Actually, Bai Jingjing here in Moon City is considered a legend,” Lin Mengyan explained.
I’d be honored to hear more.”
Bai Jingjing, who had followed an old man to Moon City ten years ago, started to strive for a living here.
She was unlike ordinary women and was also a practitioner.
Relying on a level of ruthlessness and toughness not found in typical women, she established her business in Moon City.
For the White Tiger Gang to gain a foothold in Moon City, and as a woman no less, one could see just how formidable and domineering Bai Jingjing was.
Lin Mengyan only briefly mentioned Bai Jingjing to Fang Yi.
She herself had only heard of Bai Jingjing, as well, due to her belonging to the prominent Lin Family, and that was why Lin Mengyan had some understanding of Bai Jingjing’s “legendary” story.
“This woman does sound interesting,” Fang Yi commented.
I wonder if you’re interested in her?” Lin Mengyan said with a teasing smile.
Fang Yi looked serious and said, “Miss Lin, do I look like the kind of man who is fickle?”
Lin Mengyan feigned a moment of realization and said, “I understand now, you’re only interested in Shen Binnan, aren’t you?
However, as a friend, I feel I should give you a word of advice.
Here in Moon City, countless wealthy heirs want to pursue her, and some even wish for a May-December relationship, but none have caught her eye.
I’ve heard that some prominent young masters from Huacheng are also interested in her.”
Fang Yi sighed and said, “It seems I have quite a few rivals then.
What to do, perhaps I should switch targets?” As he spoke, his eyes mischievously swiveled, gazing unwaveringly at Lin Mengyan.
“Big brother, do you want to pursue my sister?
I’ll be the first to support you,” the little loli suddenly chimed in.
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Lin Mengyan lightly tapped the little loli’s head, then looked at Fang Yi and said, “If you want to chase after me, you’ll find that you have no shortage of rivals either.”
Lin Mengyan naturally would not accept defeat when it came to comparing herself with Shen Binnan.
Fang Yi was about to say more when the bidding event reached its climax.
The entire hall quieted down, and a host walked up to the podium at the front, starting the opening remarks.
Fang Yi bid farewell to Lin Mengyan and went to look for Shen Binnan.
After all, he was Shen Binnan’s bodyguard and her little follower.
Thus, Fang Yi began searching through the crowd and quickly spotted Shen Binnan in a corner.
“Finished chatting?” Shen Binnan asked indifferently.
“Not happy at all,” Fang Yi said earnestly.
“Compared to you, Lin Mengyan is simply too boring.
When compared to you, she doesn’t stand a chance!”
Shen Binnan was silent for a few seconds, then said, “Not bad with flattery, keep up the good work.”
