The Supreme Soldier King of the Lady CEO-Chapter 1009 - 989: Complicated Emotions, Ye Huan’s Scheme

"Drink up and get some sleep; it's getting late, and we still have a journey ahead tomorrow."

After taking a shower, Ye Huan made Jiang Shishuang a steaming cup of brown sugar water and handed her the teacup.

Jiang Shishuang's face was complicated as she accepted it with both hands.

"By the way, when I went to settle the bill at the convenience store downstairs, the owner said no one buys sanitary pads on credit. What's going on?"

The sudden question from Ye Huan made Jiang Shishuang stiffen, unable to utter a single word.

Jiang Shishuang's reaction was within Ye Huan's expectations.

The room fell into an eerie silence.

After a while, Ye Huan suddenly "had a revelation" and squinted, saying with a smile, "Could it be that the owner decided to waive the bill because you're pretty and have a great figure, so he didn't take the credit issue to heart?"

Jiang Shishuang was taken aback, her face turning bright red: "What nonsense are you spouting, you smooth talker!"

Having said that, she turned her head away, her face blushing to her ears.

Being complimented by Ye Huan made her inexplicably happy.

While happy, she also gritted her teeth.

Jiang Shishuang was suspicious that Ye Huan's smooth talking and attentive behavior had a singular purpose — to win her over!

The key thing was, in a certain sense, Ye Huan had achieved his goal!

He truly succeeded in stirring some feelings within her!

Jiang Shishuang recalled her previous suspicions about Ye Huan having impure motives when helping her on the Diamond Queen, repeatedly warning Ye Huan not to have delusions, and found herself gritting her teeth even more.

She had warned Ye Huan so firmly back then, but eventually, she found her heart half-stolen by this master of wooing!

As Jiang Shishuang thought this, little did she know that Ye Huan initially had no intentions toward her.

Now, Ye Huan truly had "intentions".

Standing by the window, blowing his hair dry, Ye Huan gazed at the rain droplets reflecting the neon lights, sliding from top to bottom of the window; his deep eyes appeared incredibly calm and undisturbed.

After these simple rounds of probing, Ye Huan felt that his guess about Jiang Shishuang's identity might be correct.

This woman had a significant background!

An incredibly terrifying identity!

As for where she was from, which organization, and whether her identity matched his speculation, a confirmation was required.

Before returning to the hotel, Ye Huan had already called the Dragon Gate's Vice Sect Leader—Patriarch of the Qin Family, Qin Jiuyou, to assist in investigation and confirmation.

Of course, Ye Huan was confident that there was a 99% chance his guess was right.

Having Qin Jiuyou investigate would merely turn that 99% into 100%.

So, Ye Huan started laying out his plans in advance.

Knowing well that Jiang Shishuang wasn't on her period and that buying sanitary pads was just an excuse, he intentionally spent four hours searching Yokohama for brown sugar and brought back a stuffed bear.

For what?

To woo Jiang Shishuang, to move her!

If Jiang Shishuang's identity was indeed as Ye Huan speculated, winning her over would make actions and plans in Japan significantly smoother and make rescuing Kagami Reina, dismantling major forces, and ultimately eradicating this organization much easier!

Ye Huan's previous help to Jiang Shishuang was purely out of kindness.

This time, however, it was laden with intent of utilizing Jiang Shishuang.

Honestly, deceiving a girl's feelings to achieve a goal is quite disgraceful.

Some might say it's even disgusting.

But if Jiang Shishuang's true identity matched Ye Huan's assumption, he would carry no psychological burden regarding his actions.

"Finish the drink and sleep early." Ye Huan smiled after drying his hair, laying down on the soft bed separated from Jiang Shishuang's bed by a nightstand, pulling over the covers, and closing his eyes to sleep.

Jiang Shishuang remained quiet, only finishing her cup of brown sugar water after half an hour.

Feeling Ye Huan's calm and steady breathing, she squinted slightly.

She knew the chance she was waiting for had arrived.

Ye Huan was deeply asleep, without any guard, making it the best opportunity to strike!

Jiang Shishuang's face was uncertain, as she took out the sharp dagger hidden beneath her pillow.

Tiptoeing, she quietly approached Ye Huan.

Now, all she needed to do was raise the dagger and thrust it fiercely towards Ye Huan's neck.

If Ye Huan failed to react, this dagger might not end his life outright but would certainly cripple him.

Jiang Shishuang took deep breaths, forcing her face and expression to turn cold.

Ye Huan must be eliminated!

Otherwise, she would be entirely trapped by him!

Unable to escape for a lifetime!

As the saying goes, a short pain is better than prolonged agony.

Jiang Shishuang was confident that if she wielded the knife against Ye Huan now, she'd likely feel "heartbroken," suffering for a long time, unable to calm her heart.

Yet without attacking Ye Huan, she'd be finished.

Her whole heart would be locked by Ye Huan.

If the sequence discovered this, her mother's remains would be doomed, and she'd lose hope of resurrecting her mother.

Tears welled in Jiang Shishuang's eyes as she bit her lip.

"I'm sorry, if there's a next life, I'd work like a horse to atone." she panted, breathing deeply, with cold eyes, slowly raising the dagger!

The moonlight reflected off the dagger's tip was chilling and incredibly sharp!

Her gaze turned decisive as she raised the dagger over her head and swung it fiercely, aiming straight at Ye Huan's neck!

But when the blade was barely a millimeter from Ye Huan's throat, she froze!

Stalled in place for ages, Jiang Shishuang finally pulled the dagger away from Ye Huan's neck.

She retreated several steps, weakly sitting on the edge of her bed.

No, it couldn't be done.

She couldn't muster even a hint of killing intent.

She found herself unable to strike.

Even forcibly making her heart resolute, she couldn't carry out the act!

Staring at Ye Huan, tears streamed down her face, soaking the sheets.

"Sleeping like a log with no vigilance at all; if anyone wanted to harm you, you'd be done for, you fool!" Jiang Shishuang cursed internally, her body shaking slightly.

To be honest, she had hoped Ye Huan would wake up at that moment, deflect her dagger, and out of rage, kill her instead.

If that happened, she'd find relief.

And being killed by Ye Huan, the enemy of the sequence, her death would be deemed an honorable sacrifice for the organization by the sequence!

Her mother's remains would be treated kindly.

But, Ye Huan didn't wake!

This guy slept like a log, even with a knife about to pierce his neck, and he still slept!

Feeling deeply conflicted, Jiang Shishuang clenched her fists.

"Forget it, I'll mentally prepare myself first." Jiang Shishuang calmed down, deciding to spare Ye Huan tonight and finding herself an excuse: "Once I'm mentally ready, it won't be too late to eliminate him then!"

Internally "coldly" stating this, she lay into the covers, hugging the brown stuffed bear Ye Huan had given her, eyes shut tight.

At that moment.

Ye Huan slowly opened a thin slit in his eyes, bursting with a playful and meaningful gleam.

He hadn't fallen asleep and was acutely aware that Jiang Shishuang had once strongly considered killing him.

Yet he showed no reaction, nor any retaliatory move.

Why?

Because he had calculated that his initial setup was complete, and Jiang Shishuang had temporarily lost the resolve to kill him!

...

"Sir."

Miyamoto Musashi, rushing back via helicopter to the meeting room at Tokyo's Orochi building, bowed respectfully to the sixth sequence, reporting: "The task is done. Miss Jiang, persuaded by me, seemed to be turning a new leaf, likely hesitating tonight... no, in fact, I guess she still might fail to do it tonight but definitely after mental preparation, she'll soon find a chance to terminate Ye Hu'an personally and return to the organization!"
