Yang Huaijin eventually accepted the Song Dynasty flower-and-bird painting sent by Feng Zhi.
That day, he came out of the auction with a grim expression. Soon after, the painting was delivered to Yang Huaijin’s apartment in the Sixth District Harbor. Lao He originally came to ask Yang Huaijin how to deal with it, but to his surprise, after a moment of silence, Yang Huaijin instructed him to accept the painting and even prepared a return gift.
Since Feng Zhi already knew his identity, he couldn’t just reject the gift!
Thinking that his appearance caused the painting, which could have been bought for three to five million, to ultimately cost Feng Zhi 9.2 million, coupled with this Song Dynasty flower-and-bird painting, Feng Zhi paid a considerable price that night. Yang Huaijin felt slightly relieved. Feng Zhi tightly bid at the auction, clearly trying to provoke him, so it served Feng Zhi right to lose some money!
…
Fang Xingping has always been concerned about Yang Huaijin’s health and has spared no effort in introducing potential partners to him. He teaches at the university, where there are numerous student social activities, such as the masquerade party he ‘forced’ Yang Huaijin to attend this time. Yang Huaijin respects his teachers and elders, but after several attempts to decline, he couldn’t refuse anymore and had to attend reluctantly.

“Teacher Fang, I’m already in my thirties. It’s really not appropriate for me to participate in social activities with young people in their twenties. Can’t you spare me?” Yang Huaijin expressed his frustration to the elderly matchmaker.

“You’re making it sound like I’m breeding or something,” Yang Huaijin laughed. “Please, I don’t want to be labeled as ‘middle-aged Omega lusting after a 20-year-old sugar baby’.”
“Nonsense!”
Regardless of his reluctance, the matter was settled. Fortunately, it was a masquerade party, and everyone wore masks, so Yang Huaijin’s appearance wouldn’t be too awkward.
At a party with only Alphas and Omegas, identifying each other was very simple. Most Alphas were tall, robust, and physically fit, while Omegas were generally petite, delicate, and often exhibited ambiguous neutral qualities, even male Omegas. No one would release pheromones in public, but both AOs could accurately detect their preferred ‘scent’ through some kind of ‘sensing.’
However, there were still some people with poor eyesight, like the pretty girl standing in front of Yang Huaijin inviting him to dance at this moment.
The slender and beautiful girl was dressed in a red dance dress, with a rabbit mask, beautiful golden hair, delicate chin, and the curvature of her slender neck and shoulders, all proving that she was a very young Omega girl.
Yang Huaijin sized up the girl in front of him and couldn’t help but think with some resignation: This girl is not bad at all, except for her poor eyesight. Standing at one meter seventy-nine, Yang Huaijin had a slender figure. In the underworld, no one would associate ‘Master Jin’ with an Omega, especially since he had no ‘scent’ and didn’t emit pheromones, so everyone thought he was a Beta. Today, he deliberately dressed in a more neutral and gentle manner to conceal the murderous aura of the underworld on him, but unexpectedly, he was still mistaken for an Alpha.
He couldn’t delay the girl in finding a partner. Yang Huaijin smiled and raised his wrist, where the red ribbon indicated he was an Omega. They weren’t suitable.
Unexpectedly, the girl approached instead and said in very awkward Chinese, “I know, but can I date you?”
“Alice.” A calm and pleasant voice interrupted the girl.
“Ryan!” The girl, like a cheerful butterfly, fluttered into the man’s arms, coquettishly tilting her head back to speak to him.
Yang Huaijin followed the girl’s gaze and saw the tall man named Ryan looking in his direction. This was a very striking European man, clearly a powerful Alpha, with a tall and upright figure exuding an elegant aristocratic demeanor in every movement. Fluent Chinese flowed from his mouth: “Sorry, my little sister caused you trouble. Hello, I’m Ryan, and this is Alice.”
“Noah,” Yang Huaijin stated his English name and shook hands with the man. “Hello, your sister is very cute. I hope she finds an excellent partner.”
“You are very cute too,” the girl’s voice was youthful and vibrant.
“Don’t be silly, Alice. It’s not correct to describe a man as cute in Chinese. You should praise this gentleman for his handsomeness and charm,” Ryan chuckled and looked at Yang Huaijin. “My sister is only 16 years old, still young. So, Mr. Handsome Noah, may I ask you to dance on behalf of my sister?”
Yang Huaijin shrugged and smiled, “That’s truly an irresistible request.”
