The Supreme Soldier King of the Lady CEO-Chapter 1008 - 988: Falling for Ye Huan—For a Lifetime?

"My period came, I went out to buy a pack of sanitary napkins."

In Jiang Shishuang's hand was a conspicuous pack of Sofy, but she wasn't actually on her period yet.

She asked Miyamoto Musashi for money to buy sanitary napkins, just in case Ye Huan might go to the rooftop.

With the napkins, she could provide a reasonable excuse for not being on the rooftop.

Ye Huan squinted his eyes: "I remember you went downstairs in a new set of pajamas, didn't take any money, right?"

Jiang Shishuang was momentarily stunned. Using sanitary napkins as a cover was a spur-of-the-moment idea; she hadn't considered so many details.

After calming down, she replied with a straight face: "Didn't take any money, just put it on credit."

In their brief exchange, they had probed and countered each other multiple times.

Outwardly, Ye Huan showed a face of realization, but internally he chuckled.

After dinner, he had stayed in the suite and hadn't gone to the rooftop. His offhand question was merely a test for Jiang Shishuang.

As he had suspected, Jiang Shishuang wasn't on the rooftop earlier but instead went somewhere else with the person she was meeting.

As for buying the sanitary napkins, it was probably a reason she came up with to justify not being on the rooftop.

The money, he guessed, was given to her by the person she was meeting.

Ye Huan saw through everything but revealed nothing.

"I'm going out for a bit." After blow-drying Jiang Shishuang's hair, Ye Huan changed his clothes, threw on a coat, and was ready to walk out.

"It's already ten o'clock, where are you going?" Jiang Shishuang slightly frowned, a bit of anxiety rising in her heart.

"To pay your debt. It's not good to let it linger." Ye Huan noted the flash of panic in Jiang Shishuang's eyes, his lips curling into an almost imperceptible smile, as he pretended to leave the suite.

"Don't..."

"Don't what?"

"N-nothing, go ahead."

"Okay."

Ye Huan left.

After Ye Huan left, Jiang Shishuang's expression turned ugly.

If it's found out that there wasn't actually any tab, wouldn't the lie be directly exposed?

After waiting for a bit, she got up and slightly pulled the curtains open, seeing Ye Huan actually going into the convenience store next to the hotel, her gaze suddenly turned as cold as water!

Jiang Shishuang took a deep breath, let the curtain drop, sat at the bedside, and pounded a small fist onto the bed, forcefully suppressing the panic in her heart, and laid down under the covers.

Planning to pretend to sleep!

If she pretended to sleep, Ye Huan wouldn't question her further!

Then, she'd quietly wait for late night to come.

Once he fell asleep, she'd end his life!

This way, even if Ye Huan found out about the lie, there'd be no consequence!

A murderous glint flashed in Jiang Shishuang's eyes, her whole heart turning completely cold, devoid of any emotion!

At that moment, a gentle rain started to fall outside the window.

Four hours later, at two o'clock in the deep night.

"Whoosh——"

Outside the window, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the torrential rain poured down, washing Yokohama's night city over and over.

Three and a half hours after Ye Huan left the suite, the light rain had turned into a heavy downpour, accompanied by crashing thunder.

Jiang Shishuang lay in bed, covering her ears with the quilt, eyes shut tight, her face full of dread.

At this moment, she couldn't stop the images of that stormy night on the ship from flooding her mind, with her clinging tightly to Ye Huan as he gently comforted her, patting her back, and guiding her into a peaceful sleep.

She bit her lip tightly, her mind restless.

When the thunder sounded, she instinctively thought of Ye Huan, feeling as if just his presence could entirely fill the void of insecurity in her heart.

This feeling irritated her immensely!

And also, where on earth had Ye Huan gone?

Going downstairs to settle a bill at the convenience store, did it take four hours?

Could this guy have used the excuse to pay as a cover to experience some "special services" of Japan?

That must be it!

Otherwise, why would he be out so long without returning?

At this thought, an inexplicable surge of anger rose in Jiang Shishuang's heart, her beautiful eyes blazing with fury!

No.

She suddenly realized she had no reason to be angry!

Whatever Ye Huan was doing, what did it have to do with her? She wasn't a wife waiting for her husband to return home early.

Yet, she was just so angry!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!

Jiang Shishuang stared fiercely, her eyes wide open.

Just then.

"Click."

The suite door opened.

Upon hearing the noise, Jiang Shishuang, furious beyond measure, sat up and glared angrily at Ye Huan, "Where have you been messing around?"

Seeing Ye Huan holding a one-meter-sized plush bear in his left hand and an iron can in his right, she paused for a moment, somewhat puzzled.

Ye Huan didn't look like someone who had been out messing around, did he?

"Weren't you on your period? I went downstairs to settle the bill and thought I'd buy you a can of brown sugar. But the Japanese don't have the habit of using brown sugar, so many stores don't sell it. I ran around for most of the day and finally found some in a large mall run by Huaxia people."

"Also, thinking you might be afraid of thunder, I casually bought you this."

"If you hold it tightly, it might give you some sense of security, so you won't be that afraid."

Ye Huan ripped open the packaging of the half-person-sized white plush bear and casually tossed it into Jiang Shishuang's arms.

Jiang Shishuang was stunned for a full five minutes.

When she came to her senses, the anger on her face had vanished, her voice trembling slightly with disbelief, "You went out in the heavy rain for so long in the middle of the night just to buy me brown sugar?"

"No, didn't I also buy that bear?"

"Hold on a second, I'll boil some hot water first. I'll make you some brown sugar later."

Ye Huan started boiling water with an electric kettle and then plunged into the bathroom for a shower.

Jiang Shishuang lowered her head, her pearly teeth biting tightly, as a warm current flowed through her heart.

For a moment, she even ignored the lightning and thunder outside the window.

Going downstairs in the middle of the night to "casually" buy a can of brown sugar, braving the rainstorm and roaming around in Yokohama for four whole hours?

And thinking she might be afraid of thunder, he bought back a plush bear on a whim?

Was it really just casual and on a whim?

Jiang Shishuang did not believe it.

Even if Ye Huan initially went downstairs with the intention of "casual," his ultimate purpose had already shifted to making sure to buy a can of brown sugar and definitely bring back a plush bear!

Isn't this just foolish!

She only pretended to tell him she was on her period to trick him, yet he braved the rain to buy brown sugar, covering half of Yokohama!

How could this bastard be so foolish!

Jiang Shishuang "rebuked" Ye Huan in her heart, but tears of crystalline brilliance welled up from her eyes out of emotion, dropping onto the little bear in her arms as her hands involuntarily tightened around it.

She originally suspected that Ye Huan was out late to experience a certain public service unique to Japan, but he went out for a can of brown sugar, braving the thunderstorm and not caring if he became soaking wet, running through half of Yokohama.

Jiang Shishuang felt extreme guilt for misunderstanding Ye Huan.

Once, only one person had treated her with such care, providing her with meticulous care and attention.

Her mother!

Now, there was one more person.

Ye Huan!

Right up until the second Ye Huan returned, Jiang Shishuang's heart had been ice cold, full of murderous intent.

In just four hours, the ice inside her heart had developed countless cracks under the warmth of his care.

The warm current born from thoughtful care both fascinated her and left her in turmoil.

She was very much attached to this feeling of being cared for.

Yet she was also disconcerted by the emotions that followed such care.

She truly didn't know what to do.

Confront these feelings?

Impossible.

Ye Huan was already married, and he had five wives.

He was so attentive and gentle to others, there were probably countless women outside already captured by his kindness.

To truly confront these feelings would mean becoming his lover, maybe the tenth, or possibly even the hundredth?

Jiang Shishuang could not tolerate herself becoming such a disgusting existence.

Moreover, her mother's body was still kept at the headquarters of the Sequence, and the biotechnology of the Sequence was becoming increasingly advanced.

To confront these feelings would be to betray the Sequence.

Jiang Shishuang couldn't imagine what would happen to her mother's body.

To betray the Sequence would render all the efforts she had made in the Sequence over the years completely wasted!

If she did not face these feelings, then she could only get rid of them!

There's only one way!

Quickly get rid of Ye Huan!

The earlier she gets rid of Ye Huan, the sooner she can forget these feelings!

Jiang Shishuang forcibly tried to summon the intent to kill in her heart.

But try as she might, she couldn't muster even the slightest intent to harm Ye Huan!

This made her panic.

If she continued to be shown such care by Ye Huan, she was one hundred percent sure she'd completely fall for Ye Huan!

And.

This fall could last a lifetime!
