390 He is My Man (1/2)
Almost every character imaginable were attending the auction, though most of them were Jianghu elites.
Present in the hall were rich sponsors and wealthy heirs who were keen on modern martial arts, as well as some who merely wanted to expand their social circle. However, all those influential people and attractive models dulled in comparison to Luo Puti, one of two legendary beauties of Dragon City. She was the center of attention once she stepped into the room.
Everyone knew who she was, but the same thing could not be said of Chen Xiaobei – who immediately became their top gossip topic.
”Who the hell is that kid?”
”Don't know him. Don't think he belongs to our circle either!”
”Is he from abroad? It seems like he's pretty close to Luo Puti. He might be her boyfriend!”
Everyone was shocked, but they did recognize him after a while.
”He's that recent internet sensation! The man behind the First Love Peach that went viral! I think he managed to hook up with Luo Puti during her mission in Green Vine City!”
”No way! How did an orchard owner manage to woo her?”
”Yeah! He has the looks, but he doesn't have money, power, status or fame! Any other Luo Puti suitor can beat him easily!”
”F*ck! How dare a fruit farmer like him dared to pursue Luo!! Prick! I'm insulted!”
...
Women were jealous of Luo Puti's perfect appearance while men grow restless whenever the topic came to Luo Puti's future boyfriend. She was one of Dragon City's greatest sights, a title only shared by Lady Xuan from the Liu Family. Together they were the Legendary Twin Belles of Dragon City!
Millions of men dreamed to have them as their girlfriends, even during the days that they were high-schoolers. However, Chen Xiaobei managed to get Luo Puti before all others, so it was natural that every man in the room was restless.
”Well, lucky for him that Wu Jiechao isn't here. The brat would have been stretchered off otherwise!” One of them said enviously.
Wu Jiechao had become infamous for breaking the legs of a man from Hong Kong who made a move on Luo Puti. He even warned that the man would face a beating as soon as he steps foot in Dragon City again!
”Should I tell him about this guy?” Another man said, clearly intent on making a mess of things.
”Good idea, I'm getting really bored here. I need some drama in my life!”
”Yeah! Call him now!”
...
Everyone was eager for some drama to stave away boredom. Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti – who were unaware – looked for a place to sit down and examined the list of auctioned items.
Five items that were open for bidding tonight.
