Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world

"Qingcheng, Yajing."

As soon as they stepped through the scarlet carpeted doors of the auction hall, a clear, melodious female voice, like the clinking of jade stones, pierced through the noise and reached everyone's ears.

Following the sound, one could see Dongfang Mingyue wearing a moon-white haute couture gown with dark gold cloud patterns embroidered on the hem, which accentuated her snow-white skin and slender figure. Beside her was Song Xinyan, who was also exquisitely made up. The two walked gracefully from a side corridor, and judging from the way their skirts moved without wind, they had obviously been waiting at the venue for a while.

"Ling Tian, ​​we meet again." Dongfang Mingyue parted her red lips slightly, smiling brightly.

She and Qin Qingcheng were already on good terms, and the Wen family, as one of the three top families in the central region, lived in Haishi, so they had already crossed paths.

Dongfang Mingyue familiarly pulled Song Xinyan along and introduced her to Qin Qingcheng and Su Yajing. After some pleasantries, her gaze fell directly on Luo Lingtian, her affection for him undisguised.

"Miss Dongfang, this dress suits you very well today." Luo Lingtian smiled faintly, reached out and shook hands with her. The touch of his fingertips was soft and delicate, like holding a fluffy ball of cotton, with an excellent feel.

"Since we've run into each other so coincidentally, why don't we go to the private room I reserved?"

The moment she let go, Dongfang Mingyue naturally took Luo Lingtian's right arm, her face flushed with fragrance, her smile gentle, and her suggestion natural and intimate.

The atmosphere instantly became strange. The guests who had been talking in hushed tones all turned their attention to this scene with a mixture of curiosity and surprise.

Luo Lingtian raised an eyebrow, glancing subtly at Qin Qingcheng beside him. She remained composed, her eyes showing no trace of jealousy, but rather a hint of indulgence. He coughed lightly and turned to Mo Yu and the others: "What do you all think?"

"Sure! It'll be more fun with more people, it's perfect to go together!"

Looking at Luo Lingtian, who was surrounded by two stunning beauties, Qin Qingcheng on his left and Dongfang Mingyue on his right, Mo Yu secretly gave him a thumbs up and quickly smiled to smooth things over, instantly breaking the awkwardness in the room.

The others nodded in agreement, but their eyes held a hint of curiosity as they watched the spectacle unfold.

And so, Luo Lingtian, surrounded by two women—no, three women—walked at the front, followed closely by the two couples, Mo Yu and Wenren Yajing, and Luo Yuntian and Lin Ruoxue. The group headed in a grand procession toward the private room reserved by Dongfang Mingyue.

Why is it described as being surrounded by three women? It's because Song Xinyan followed closely beside Dongfang Mingyue, her gaze frequently falling on Luo Lingtian. Although she didn't directly link arms with Dongfang Mingyue, her intimate posture was obvious to Mo Yu and Luo Yuntian, two seasoned players in the dating scene.

The two exchanged a knowing glance: if Luo Lingtian didn't only have two arms, Song Xinyan would probably have come up and taken one of them too. Don't ask why, just ask yourself, it's a man's intuition, and it's incredibly accurate.

A moment later, Fu Shiyan and Li Shiheng also entered the auction hall with their entourage. Their eyes swept across the room and they happened to catch a glimpse of Luo Lingtian being surrounded by three women, causing them to pause slightly.

A hint of surprise flashed in Fu Shiyan's eyes, while Li Shiheng frowned slightly. Then, both of them looked away and led their people to their private rooms without lingering.

"Who's that kid? What a grand entrance!"

"With three stunningly beautiful women by his side, he must be someone important, probably a top young master from some wealthy family?"

"Don't make wild guesses! I know the woman on his right who's holding his arm; she's Dongfang Mingyue, the apple of the Dongfang family's eye!"

"What? The apple of the eye of the Dongfang family? Just who is that kid to make Dongfang Mingyue so close to him?"

After Luo Lingtian and his group disappeared around the corner of the stairs, the guests in the hall could no longer contain themselves and began to whisper among themselves, their voices filled with shock and curiosity.

Compared to these people's speculations, Luo Lingtian was also secretly grumbling to himself. He was naturally happy to see such a stunning beauty as Dongfang Mingyue take the initiative to throw herself into his arms, but the fact that she dared to openly express her affection in front of Qin Qingcheng, his best friend and fiancée, while Qin Qingcheng seemed completely indifferent, left him somewhat puzzled.

He was confident that he could win over Qin Qingcheng and get her to accept his idea of ​​having three wives and four concubines and enjoying the bliss of having multiple wives, but before he could even implement the plan, how could they have "reached a consensus" ahead of time?

Furthermore, has my charm really reached such a level? I only met Dongfang Mingyue once, yet she's already so captivated by me?

Luo Lingtian became more and more surprised as he thought about it, but feeling the different sensations from his left and right arms, one side gentle and soft, the other delicate and charming, both exquisite, his doubts were immediately forgotten. Whatever, he was the one who benefited anyway.

"Tsk tsk tsk, our Mr. Luo, his good fortune with women is truly enviable!" In another corner, the members of the Dragon Group also saw this scene. Chen Xuan clicked his tongue, his tone full of envy. Apart from the only female member, Tan Yueyue, the others nodded in agreement, their eyes almost overflowing with envy.

"Alright, look at how pathetic you all are. Let's go, let's go to the private room first."

Just as Ye Fan was about to agree, Yang Shiyu gently pinched the soft flesh on his waist, causing him to wince in pain. He coughed lightly, forced himself to remain calm, glared at Chen Xuan and the others, and then affectionately took Yang Shiyu's arm, leading the way towards the private room reserved by the Dragon Group.

"No, Lao Ye, what kind of look is that? Stop pretending, do you dare say you're not envious?" Chen Xuan and the others reacted and were immediately displeased when they saw Ye Fan's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance. Ge Ming was the most unconvinced and directly retorted.

"What do I envy? Having Shiyu by my side is enough."

As Ye Fan spoke, he deliberately lowered his head and kissed Yang Shiyu's pretty face. Yang Shiyu's cheeks immediately turned slightly red, and she playfully slapped him, but the sweetness in her eyes was undeniable.

"Hey! I've got a short temper!" Ge Ming was so angry he jumped up and down, but there was nothing he could do. What could they do when they were all single? Tan Yueyue rolled her eyes at their childish behavior and muttered to herself: A bunch of childish idiots.

Inside the Li family's private room, the atmosphere was solemn. Two bodyguards in black stood straight outside the door, their expressions cold and stern, shutting out all the noise from the outside world.

Inside the private room, Li Shiheng leaned back on the sofa, an unlit cigar between his fingers. Sitting next to him was his secretary, Fang Jianlin. The two were not only superior and subordinate, but also brothers who had risked their lives for each other.

When Li Shiheng joined the army in his early years, Fang Jianlin once took a bullet for him, which left him with a chronic illness and made it impossible for him to stay in the army. So he retired and returned to civilian life.

Later, when Li Shiheng inherited the family business, he immediately sought him out and made him his personal secretary.

Of course, this is not only because the other party had been kind to him, but also because the other party was indeed very talented.

"That adopted son of the Luo family is truly remarkable." Fang Jianlin spoke slowly, his tone tinged with emotion. To be able to gain the favor of the Dongfang family's darling daughter and to be so indulgent towards Qin Qingcheng, such abilities are definitely not something an ordinary adopted son could possess.

"It's none of our business." There were only two people in the private room. Li Shiheng's expression was more casual. He naturally knew that Luo Lingtian was not simple. Otherwise, he would not have been so polite to Luo Lingtian at the Luo family's old mansion.

If it were anyone else, he wouldn't even give them a second glance, let alone be polite. Even if Li Tingchuan wanted to target them, he would just turn a blind eye.

"So, what do you plan to do with Li Tingchuan?" Fang Jianlin shrugged and asked, following up on his question. No matter what Luo Lingtian's status or abilities were, he had no grudge against the Li family, so there was really no need to pay too much attention to him.

"Ignore him." Li Shiheng twirled his cigar between his fingers, his tone indifferent.

"Over the years, he has relied on the favor his grandfather did for the old man to flaunt his power and influence in the name of the Li family. That favor should be repaid by now. Consider this the last time we'll indulge him. If he continues to be arrogant and ignorant in the future..."

Li Shiheng didn't finish his sentence, but the coldness in his words made the temperature in the private room drop several degrees. Fang Jianlin instantly understood what he meant, nodded silently, and said no more.

No matter how powerful the Li family is, they are not invincible. If Li Tingchuan is allowed to use the Li family's name to do whatever he wants, the Li family will probably be implicated one day.

For example, if he hadn't happened to be there this time, he probably would have inexplicably gained another enemy, Luo Lingtian. Being able to win over the little princess of the Qin family in the capital and at the same time have an ambiguous relationship with the little princess of the Dongfang family, even if he is just a pretty boy with no real ability, it would still be enough to give the Li family a hard time.

Meanwhile, inside the Fu family's private room, a different scene unfolded. Fu Shiyan sat on the sofa, his gaze gently falling on Qian Yutang beside him.

Qian Yutang, like a little mouse that had stolen some rice, was stuffing the snacks on the coffee table into her mouth. Her cheeks were chubby, and she looked cute and adorable. Fu Shiyan looked at her like this and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved up. A warm feeling inexplicably rose in his heart.

"You said before that person's luck changed, what happened?" Fu Shiyan withdrew his gaze and asked softly.

He used to be a staunch materialist who never believed in feng shui or fortune telling, but after Qian Yutang cured his strange illness that he had suffered for many years, he changed his views on these mysterious things.

Although he didn't believe her completely, he knew that this girl possessed genuine abilities that ordinary people didn't have.

Qian Yutang swallowed the pastry in her mouth, picked up a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile, "You mean that guy below me? I observed his fortune before. He has auspicious purple energy coming from the east and a dragon lurking in the abyss. He is destined for great wealth and high status, no less than you."

In contrast, Li Shiheng, the later head of the Li family, had a chaotic and disordered aura, with black mist swirling around his head—clearly a sign that his fortune was about to run out.

Fu Shiyan's heart skipped a beat. He leaned forward slightly and asked, "Li Shiheng's luck is about to run out? What do you mean by that?"

"You don't even understand this?" Qian Yutang blinked and explained as if it were a matter of course, "All living things in the world are accompanied by fortune. Fortune is like a lamp. As long as the lamp oil is not exhausted, people will be safe and sound."

If the lamp oil burns out and the luck is extinguished, then the lifespan has ended and death is inevitable.

However, now, that man below has provoked someone he shouldn't have, and his luck has plummeted, while Li Shiheng's dark aura has mostly dissipated, and his luck has stabilized considerably. Clearly, he benefited from Luo Lingtian's help, escaping a deadly disaster.
