The Supreme Soldier King of the Lady CEO-Chapter 959 - 939: Laying All the Cards on the Table!

The wealthy merchants couldn't believe what they were seeing.

They watched as Shen Taoyuan walked straight to the corner, seated herself right across from the young man they had scorned as overconfident, and greeted him warmly!

Shen Taoyuan actually took the initiative to share a table with that guy?!

This can't be right?!

The merchants' eyes bulged wider than eggs, then their faces turned beet red!

They felt as if their cheeks were being slapped resoundingly - the embarrassment was unspeakable!

Just a moment ago, they were mocking that young man's audacity for trying to make a move on Goddess Shen, and in the next, the very Goddess Shen they only dared to dream of was amicably dining with him!

Damn, their faces were truly swollen from the slap.

The clown turns out to be me.

The merchants suddenly recalled some events.

Last night at the auction, it was this young man who competed with Kaman, driving the bid up by seventy billion, and managed to snag the Qin Dynasty Heirloom Seal of the Realm for just one dollar. Afterward, he was invited backstage for a private chat by Shen Taoyuan. It must be him dining in the corner!

For a moment, the merchants felt both awkward and envious, so envious that their eyes turned red!

Goddess Shen not only shared a table with him but greeted him with such a bright smile. Could it be that sparks flew during their private exchange last night, and they confirmed their relationship?

It's not impossible!

Thinking of this, the wealthy felt even more envious; their eyes grew even redder!

The merchant who had dreamt of Shen Taoyuan was so envious and jealous he spat up blood and fainted!

In his dream, he was dining with Shen Taoyuan, but in reality, she chose to have breakfast with the young man he deemed overconfident!

He was about to take the final step in his dream but woke up in excitement, while Shen Taoyuan just might have accomplished all those things with that young man last night!

It's enough to make one die of envy!

This guy must have accumulated blessings for eighteen generations to have such fortune!!

Ahead, the merchants feared they might faint or vomit blood from envy if they continued watching, so they left the restaurant, their faces swollen from the slap, in a dejected manner!

"Mr. Ye, look."

In the restaurant corner, Shen Taoyuan said with a smile, "They are so envious of you."

Ye Huan raised an eyebrow, slightly displeased. He saw through Shen Taoyuan's intentions of using him as a shield by sitting with him.

Wasn't she just stirring up trouble for Brother Huan?

"Brother Ye, actually, if it were truly possible." Shen Taoyuan blinked shyly, "I think you're a really good candidate."

"Why? Just because I have the Jade Seal?" Ye Huan smirked, taking out the golden-carved Dragon Jade Seal and slamming it onto the table.

"No... it's not just that..." Shen Taoyuan looked awkward, "I genuinely think you're great and want to try developing something with you, but unfortunately, I don't have that freedom. However..."

At this point, Shen Taoyuan's eyes lit up, "'Great Emperor Ye Huan' was overjoyed to hear about the Jade Seal yesterday. He said if I could borrow the seal for two days, he'd return my freedom!"

Ye Huan chuckled, "What, isn't 'Great Emperor Ye Huan' supposed to be magnanimous to the public? Does he also restrict women's freedom?"

"Ah, Brother Ye, you don't know."

"But I tell you, you mustn't let it spread."

Shen Taoyuan sighed, resting her cheek in one hand, looking troubled, "Ye Huan appears righteous on the surface and gives an excellent impression, but behind closed doors, he's an outright bloodsucker... and a big pervert..."

"Pfft!"

Ye Huan couldn't help it and sprayed soy milk all over Shen Taoyuan's face!

Shen Taoyuan couldn't suppress her rising anger!

Damn Ye Hu'an, if not for the Jade Seal being in your hands, I would've flipped out!

Shen Taoyuan stifled her anger, while wiping her face with a napkin, forcing a smile that was awkward yet polite, "Brother Ye... what's wrong with you?"

Ye Huan coughed a couple of times, gritting his teeth, "Is 'Great Emperor Ye Huan' that despicable? How come I didn't know?"

"Of course he is!"

"Not only does he restrict my freedom, but he's also tried countless times to take me by force!"

"It's only because I threatened to expose his scandalous behavior that he backed off."

"Brother Ye, you really don't know, every single moment around Ye Huan is nerve-wracking, Ye Huan is a total bastard, a pervert, a stud..."

"Stop!"

Ye Huan couldn't take it anymore and interrupted Shen Taoyuan with anger on his face.

He was truly infuriated.

Not only was Shen Taoyuan using his name to scam people for money, but now she was also besmirching him to con him out of the Jade Seal. Where's the justice in that?

In a moment, Ye Huan lost any good feelings he might have had for Shen Taoyuan.

With a lightning-fast left hand, Ye Huan retrieved the Jade Seal, while with his right hand, he put a piece of beef in his mouth, saying coldly, "You want the Jade Seal? Let your Great Emperor come talk to me personally."

"But..."

How could Shen Taoyuan possibly know Great Emperor Ye Huan?

She hesitated, then lied, "I can fully represent Great Emperor Ye Huan, Brother Ye, you can just talk to me."

Ye Huan shrugged, "Words are wind; why would I trust you?"

"Why don't you trust me? Am I not pretty enough? Is my figure not good enough?" Shen Taoyuan patted her rounded thighs twice, then said shyly, "Brother Ye, I'm sincere about you, don't you want to rescue me and be truly together with me?"

"Miss Shen, you have a beautiful face and a fantastic figure, but I've already told you, I'm not the kind of man driven mad by lust."

"We've only known each other for such a short time; I'd have to be crazy to trust you."

"If you want the Jade Seal, either bring your Great Emperor to talk to me, or..."

Ye Huan's face showed a meaningful expression.

Shen Taoyuan sensed there was more to his words and quickly asked, "What conditions do you have?"

Ye Huan smirked, directly stating, "Provide me with the information on the Fire Cloud Jade, and I'll lend you the Jade Seal for two days."

"Fire Cloud Jade?"

Shen Taoyuan was stunned for a moment, saying, "Mr. Ye, have you forgotten? The Fire Cloud Jade was already auctioned for one trillion to Kaman Hart, the son of the Great Commander of Kangaroo Country."

Ye Huan's face showed a mocking expression.

"You can fool everyone else, but not me."

"You know exactly what the 'Fire Cloud Jade' Kaman has is."

"Moreover, since you can replicate such a precise Fire Cloud Jade, it indicates you had the genuine Fire Cloud Jade for reference, meaning the real thing is likely in your hands or someone you know."

Ye Huan's eyes and face were full of playful intrigue as he stared at Shen Taoyuan, whose expression had completely changed, teasing, "Miss Shen, am I right?"
