I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Not far to Gu Yan's right, in front of the huge glass window that was originally one-way and could see the auction hall outside, a wheelchair had appeared.

Cecilia Chen sat quietly in her wheelchair.

She tilted her head slightly, her icy blue eyes calmly looking down at the crowd gradually taking their seats through the glass.

A few strands of silver hair brushed against her fair profile, the afternoon light casting a soft glow on her perfect features.

Gu Yan felt as if she'd been electrocuted, jumping up from her chair and blurting out, "Holy crap!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet private room.

Cecilia seemed to only then realize his presence.

She didn't turn her head immediately, but instead stretched out her slender fingers and gently tucked a strand of silver hair behind her ear, revealing her beautifully shaped jawline and neck.

"Master Gu Yan."

"Did my appearance here startle you?"

Then, she slowly turned her face, her icy blue eyes looking at Gu Yan, her tone flat and indifferent.

Gu Yan's heart was still pounding wildly, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.

What are those people outside doing?

How did we end up leading the main character to his command center?

What about Chen Sinian?

That's not how he wrote the script!

But he doesn't have time to look at his phone right now.

Cecilia was right in front of him, less than three meters away.

calm down!

Gu Yan took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down quickly.

Cecilia was in her private room...

It might not be a bad thing!

Doesn't this make it easier for him to perform?

Up close, Bai Zikong's excellence is even more apparent!

His panicked expression vanished instantly, replaced by a slightly frivolous yet amazed smile. He sat back down in his chair and crossed his legs.

"How could that be?"

"Miss Cecilia is so beautiful and charming, I'm only pleasantly surprised, how could I be frightened?"

He dragged out his words, deliberately letting his gaze sweep over Cecilia's face and body, making a lecherous face.

He deliberately used the name Cecilia.

The novel mentioned that there was an unwritten rule in Shanglu City.

Unless she gives her permission, she should be addressed as Miss Chen.

Only people who are very close to Cecilia can call her that.

She now loathes and is extremely wary of men. His flippant way of calling her name, coupled with his lecherous face, would definitely make her feel disgusted to the max!

This will perfectly highlight Bai Zikong's politeness and respect later on!

Zhang Zihao, standing to the side, watched Gu Yan go from being shocked to calm, and then instantly get into character and handle the situation with composure, his eyes wide with amazement.

His admiration for Gu Yan was like a surging river.

This is an emergency!

Master Gu Yan was able to adjust himself in the blink of an eye in front of Miss Chen's powerful aura!

Too bad!

Cecilia blinked her icy blue eyes, her movements elegant, her tone even sounding a little...

gentle?

"If Master Gu Yan likes it, that's good."

"Master Gu Yan... is also very handsome."

She paused for a moment, her gaze lingering on Gu Yan's face.

Gu Yan: "...???"

For a moment, he wondered if he had transmigrated into the wrong book, or if he was reading a pirated novel.

He clearly stepped on a landmine with perfect precision!

He called her by her first name and even had a lecherous look on his face! According to the original story, Cecilia should have given him a cold look or simply ignored him!

He subconsciously and instantly activated his emotional vision.

A flash of seven-colored light passed through my eyes.

In my field of vision, on Cecilia's cold, shattered mental ruins...

That warm and pleasant golden hue not only didn't disappear, but it seemed to...

It's a little brighter now?

Even at the edge of the ruins, there was a tiny, extremely fine fragment that seemed to...

Was it somewhat soothed by some force?

What... what's going on?

He stepped on a landmine, but the other person was actually in a better mood?

Has the ruin been repaired even a little bit?

While repairs are a good thing, this isn't right!

His plan was to have Bai Zikong be the healer!

How come it worked for him out of nowhere?

Zhang Zihao, standing next to him, was also stunned and secretly swallowed.

Miss Chen... is she really that good-tempered?

impossible!

Why are you being so gentle with Master Gu?

Is Master Gu...?

Is that a bit too much?

Cecilia noticed the fleeting, strange, seven-colored light in Gu Yan's eyes, as well as the momentary look of bewilderment on his face.

"Master Gu Yan, do you know? Your pupils... are very beautiful."

She tilted her head slightly and added four words very softly, "...quite cute."

Gu Yan was still unsettled by her discovery. She vaguely thought she heard the last few words, but she couldn't make them out.

"Cecilia, what did you say? What's cute?"

"What's cute? I said, I'm a little thirsty. Could you please, Master Gu Yan... pour me a glass of water?"

Cecilia remained expressionless, her icy blue eyes fixed on him.

Gu Yan: "..."

He's starting to have serious doubts about life.

Is this really the Cecilia Chan described in the book—elegant, dignified, intolerant of any imperfections, and extremely wary of men?

Something's not right!

But the play still has to be performed.

He suppressed his doubts and the uneasy feeling in his heart, and gave Zhang Zihao a wink.

Zhang Zihao immediately understood, quickly went to the small bar next to him, poured a glass of warm water, and carefully handed it to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan took the water glass, stood up, walked to Cecilia's wheelchair, bent down slightly, and handed the water glass to her: "Miss Cecilia, please."

Cecilia reached out her hand, her slender, fair fingers taking the cup.

Their fingertips inevitably touched lightly.

At the very moment of touch—

"Well!"

Gu Yan let out a muffled groan, her face turning deathly pale!

A familiar pain, yet more intense and sharp than any he had ever experienced when interacting with a patient, suddenly pierced his mind!

It felt like countless red-hot steel needles were piercing my temples at the same time!

Several extremely blurry, fragmented images, filled with cold despair and the colors of flames, even flashed before my eyes.

Those are the most painful fragments of memory deep within Cecilia's heart!

Damn it! His ability was triggered passively!

Under normal circumstances, if one does not actively activate the Eye of Emotion to provide in-depth guidance, and it is just ordinary physical contact, the therapeutic effect should be very weak, and the backlash should not be so strong.

The fact that the touch just now caused such intense pain can only mean one thing.

Cecilia's inner wounds were so severe that they were almost terrifying!

The pain and negative emotions revealed by even a superficial, unconscious touch were enough to overwhelm him!

at the same time--

"Um……"

Cecilia couldn't help but let out a very soft, trembling moan from her throat.

The moment Gu Yan's fingertips touched her, an indescribable warm and comfortable feeling, as if from the deepest part of her soul, instantly surged through her limbs and bones like an electric current!

The nerves that had been taut to the point of breaking, and the heart that had been cold and stinging, felt as if they had been soaked in the gentlest and warmest spring water, receiving unprecedented relief and relaxation!

That feeling...

It felt so good it made her scalp tingle, even...

It's a little addictive!
