...
Shen Taoyuan sobbed as she returned to the secret room. The first thing she did was check the potted Western Mandrake on the bar!
Sure enough, the hateful Ye Hu'an had plucked a petal!
It originally had seven petals. She had taken one before infiltrating room 320 yesterday afternoon, leaving six.
Now there are only five left!
There was also a note under the pot!
"Miss Shen, you seem very interested in my Qin Dynasty Heirloom Seal of the Realm, so I've lent it to you for a few hours. Please return it after the shipwide eting and search—Ps: Ye Hu'an."
Seeing the words on the note, Shen Taoyuan cried even harder out of anger. This was a blatant provocation!
She cried loudly and walked into the secret room, going straight to the bathroom door, glancing at the flower pot on the window sill beside her.
There was a bit of ash in the pot!
Sure enough, Ye Hu'an had placed a lit petal in it, causing Xiaoyuan to faint!
That ans Ye Hu'an completely figured out what she, Shen Taoyuan, had done and perfectly replicated it, reenacting what she had done in room 320, right there in that secret room!
Shen Taoyuan cried even harder, feeling a strong sense of defeat.
She initially wanted to sche against Ye Hu'an, to socially destroy him and get him thrown off the ship.
But Ye Hu'an turned the tide, socially destroying her instead, turning her from a goddess in the eyes of the wealthy into a theft suspect, despised by everyone and harshly scolded!
The more Shen Taoyuan thought about it, the angrier she got. But with no other way to vent, all she could do was cry, and her sobs grew louder!
Xiaoyuan, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the commotion and imdiately woke up.
She looked around.
Her eyes fixed on the desperate Shen Taoyuan, squatting down with her back against the bathroom door, sobbing uncontrollably. Xiaoyuan's expression beca anxious as she approached Shen Taoyuan, "Miss, why... why are you crying? What's happened?"
"Sleep like you're dead; the suite was infiltrated, and you didn't even know!" Shen Taoyuan raised her head and cried.
The suite was infiltrated?
Xiaoyuan's face changed dramatically, "Miss, what exactly happened?"
Shen Taoyuan bit her lip and recounted everything that had just happened to Xiaoyuan.
Xiaoyuan looked shocked, "Who exactly is this Ye Hu'an? Not only does he have sharp eyesight, but such astonishing insight and execution. After figuring out what you did, he used your own thod against you in retaliation?"
"Who knows! He imdiately noticed I had carved a fake Fire Cloud Jade, and with a bit of thought, deduced that I or soone by had the genuine Fire Cloud Jade! He has keen eyesight, insight, observation, judgnt, and execution, all top-notch—it's absolutely eerie!" Shen Taoyuan was crying and utterly frustrated.
"Then... then miss, maybe you shouldn't cry. How about we find a chance to leave the ship?" Xiaoyuan suggested.
"No way!"
"How can we leave the ship, I can't just swallow this insult!"
"I won't let Ye Hu'an off the hook, I must get back at him!"
"Moreover, I've never even seen his true face, and running away in such disgrace, I'd never be able to get my revenge later!"
Shen Taoyuan's teeth began chattering with anger, she pounded the ground with her fist, glaring, "And didn't he say his true face would scare to death? I really want to see if he can indeed ugly to death!"
"Miss, it's really not good to stay here too long. If our fake identities are discovered and exposed by Ye Hu'an, it will be hard to escape the ship, and the Fire Cloud Jade might be stolen by him, too!" Xiaoyuan advised.
"No rush!"
Shen Taoyuan wiped her tears, gritting her teeth, "If we leave the ship, it has to be after I reveal that bastard's disguise and see his true face, otherwise who will I take revenge on later!"
"Okay, but once you reveal his disguise, we imdiately leave the ship!"
"Sure."
Shen Taoyuan patted her chest, regaining her composure.
A glint of anger flashed in her eyes, "Ye Hu'an, you say your real face can scare to death, I really doubt that, just wait, I really have to reveal your disguise to see if you're really as ugly as you claim, can you truly scare to death!"
...
"Aweso!"
"Ye Hu'an, you are the most compatible man with my taste that I've ever t!"
"Faced with such a tempting woman, not only did he stick to his principles, resisting her allure, but after being tricked by her, he turned the tables on her, totally aweso!"
In cabin room 320.
Jiang Shishuang sat on the bed, her face showing delight, giving a thumbs up to Ye Huan!
Seeing that vixen, Shen Taoyuan, defeated made her genuinely happy!
"Fits your taste? Let clarify, I'm a married man, don't develop any inappropriate thoughts toward , I won't agree to it!"
"Idiot, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Jiang Shishuang imdiately beca embarrassed and angry, grabbed a pillow beside her, and threw it at Ye Huan!
Then, she let out a panicked scream!
The hairpin was originally under the pillow. With that throw, the hairpin and pillow separated, and fell to the ground!
With quick reflexes, Ye Huan caught the hairpin just before it hit the ground, tossing it back to Jiang Shishuang. Seeing her strong reaction, he curiously asked, "Is this hairpin important to you?"
Jiang Shishuang examined the hairpin, sighed in relief upon seeing it was undamaged, nodded, and tightly clutched it in her palm. A hint of nostalgia appeared on her face, her voice uncharacteristically soft, "This was my mother's hairpin, used her whole life. It's the only keepsake she left ; I value it above my own life."
"Sorry for bringing up bad mories."
"It's okay."
Jiang Shishuang slightly shook her head, returned the hairpin to her hair, twisting her long locks into a bun. She glanced at Ye Hu'an, feeling he suited her taste more and more, thinking he could be brought into her circle, trained as a subordinate!
Typically, n faced with a vixen like Shen Taoyuan would lose their minds, yet Ye Hu'an seed uninterested, instead wanting to pursue her, Jiang Shishuang!
This showed Ye Hu'an's taste wasn't flawed!
Moreover, his insight, judgnt, and other skills had reached a genius level!
Very impressive!
If she could quash his unsuitable desires for her, she could truly take him on as a subordinate!
Jiang Shishuang thought so, nodding to herself secretly.
