Chapter 1134 1114: The Grand Celebration Begins! Jiang Shishuang's Inner World
"Martin, you're awesome!" Li Hao shouted obsequiously.Martin was quite pleased with Li Hao's flattery, and his mood improved a lot.
Then, he took out his phone and made a call to finalize the preparations for tomorrow's celebration banquet!
"Beep beep beep—"
After a few rings, the call was connected.
"What's up?" The voice on the other end of the phone was very cold.
"Shishuang, it's your brother Martin. I wanted to talk to you about something. Are you available?"
Although Jiang Shishuang's voice was tinged with coldness, it sounded very ethereal, like a nightingale's song, especially pleasant.
Listening to Jiang Shishuang's voice, Martin couldn't help but fantasize about tomorrow's "wedding" with Jiang Shishuang and all sorts of scenes in the bridal chamber.
"If you've got something to say, just say it." Jiang Shishuang still remembered Martin staring at her with lecherous eyes when he previously entered the hospital room, so she had a poor impression of him. Naturally, her tone was impatient and cold now.
"It's like this."
"Isn't the Ma Family going to host a celebration banquet tomorrow, I..."
Martin noticed Jiang Shishuang's annoyance with him, so he changed his tone and used Ma Pufang's name to invite Jiang Shishuang: "My mom said it's not good for you to stay in the hospital all the time. Why not come to the Ma Family's celebration banquet tomorrow night and unwind a bit? It might improve your mood and be beneficial for the baby in your belly."
"..."
Jiang Shishuang was silent for a long time; she had no interest in the Ma Family's celebration banquet, but Ma Pufang had been very kind to her lately, offering meticulous help, and she was very grateful, not wanting to disrespect Ma Pufang.
Moreover, hearing that it might benefit the baby, she decided without hesitation, and directly agreed: "I will attend tomorrow, but I don't want to be visible in front of too many people. Could you provide me with a backstage position?"
Jiang Shishuang thought that Ye Huan's family might attend the Ma Family celebration banquet, and to avoid confronting Ye Huan, she made this request.
"No problem!"
Martin eagerly agreed, the backstage position didn't matter, as long as Jiang Shishuang was present!
Then, he asked curiously, "Shishuang, you're not at the hospital?"
During Jiang Shishuang's few seconds of silence just now, Martin heard very clearly the sound of a night breeze that only occurs outdoors.
"It's none of your business!" Jiang Shishuang coldly threw down this sentence and hung up the phone.
Looking at the dark phone screen, Martin laughed lewdly, his eyes shining with lust: "Acting all high and mighty now, tomorrow I'll make you submit!"
Meanwhile.
A kilometer away from Cyan Peak Town's night market street, on the rooftop of an office building, Jiang Shishuang stood in the night breeze, dressed in a black trench coat, her hands in the coat pockets, gazing quietly at the end of the street where a sweet and sour sparerib stall was located.
Indeed, after a series of intense inner struggles at the hospital, she couldn't resist the longing for Ye Huan, put on a trench coat, and followed Liu Tianyun's group secretly to the Grand Hotel.
After they went out, Jiang Shishuang had been secretly following them from a kilometer distance, tracking for an entire afternoon.
Watching Ye Huan and his wives shopping and having fun, she felt uncomfortable inside.
She also wanted to go shopping with Ye Huan!
She also wanted Ye Huan to help her pick out beautiful clothes!
She also wanted to feed Ye Huan shaved ice, drink milk tea!
But, no!
Time and again, Jiang Shishuang suppressed the impulse to step out of the shadows to meet Ye Huan.
She didn't want, nor could she let Ye Huan know about her situation now!
Otherwise, she believed she would become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of Liu Tianyun and the other women.
She wasn't afraid of Liu Tianyun and the other women, but she feared harm coming to the child in her belly!
Therefore, she desperately suppressed her yearning for Ye Huan, restrained herself from appearing in front of Ye Huan, and just watched him from afar, a layer of tenderness and love in her beautiful eyes.
"Ye Huan, until now, I don't know if meeting you, liking you, is a good thing or a bad thing. But I won't regret it." Jiang Shishuang murmured softly to herself as Ye Huan's family rose to leave. The moment Ye Huan suddenly cast his gaze towards the rooftop, she took a deep breath and swiftly retreated, disappearing into the night.
While retreating rapidly, she also took out her phone, zoomed in the focus, and took a picture of Ye Huan.
Jiang Shishuang guessed that Ye Huan's family came to Cyan Peak Town mainly to attend the Ma Family celebration banquet.
If so, once the Ma Family banquet was over, their family would leave this small town.
She only had a year left to live.
This parting might be eternal.
Jiang Shishuang wanted this photo to be her last solace in her brief remaining life...
...
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Shen Taoyuan and I are just normal friends. She's carefree and likes to talk nonsense, so don't take her seriously."
"I met her on my way to Japan. It's quite ridiculous to say, but she was impersonating me on a cruise, hosting a so-called 'Great Emperor Banquet,' which I later uncovered. Since I needed her help with something and she wasn't malicious by nature, I forgave her. Later in Japan, she was kidnapped by an organization..."
In the grand suite of the Magnificent Hotel, in the bath, Ye Huan spread his arms on the edge of the bathtub, recounting his time in Japan with Shen Taoyuan to his beloved wives who lay resting on his arm.
Of course, he skipped over the thrilling parts about the confrontation with Orochi and the sequence.
"In short, she and I really are just purely friends, so please don't misunderstand," Ye Huan said with a wink.
Liu Tianyun, Zhang Huimin, and Su Qingqing, along with Qin Ya, all rolled their eyes simultaneously after hearing Ye Huan's story.
It's known that Shen Taoyuan had claimed they were comrades through life and death!
This implied that there must have been many thrilling stories between them, yet Ye Huan's narrative was very mundane, clearly omitting the exciting parts on purpose.
However, since Ye Huan didn't want to talk about it, they obediently refrained from asking too much.
But not misunderstanding at all...
How could there be no misunderstandings?
Shen Taoyuan was naturally beautiful, her smiles charmingly captivating, with a breathtaking beauty, and an elegant figure, exuding the aura of a seductive kitten, but spoke with the innocence of a sheltered young girl.
Such a girl is immensely enticing to someone like Ye Huan, who is already married and has been with mature women—an "old man."
What's more, Shen Taoyuan clearly didn't dislike Ye Huan!
Shen Taoyuan's father, Shen Dahai, even intended to have Shen Taoyuan marry the Saint of Huaxia!
Others might not know who the Saint of Huaxia is, but don't they know?
Isn't it Ye Huan?
Sigh, what can they do?
Does it matter if they misunderstand or not?
Except for Dragon Fragrance, Liu Tianyun and the others pinched Ye Huan's arm with a hint of resentment, this rascal's male charm is way too strong, attracting girls wherever he goes.
But beyond that, he excels in every aspect, naturally drawing girls to him.
Too "annoying!"
Unlike the others, Dragon Fragrance not only felt no resentment but was also eager for Ye Huan to make progress with Shen Taoyuan.
After all, that way, there would be a companion for her to "move in at the same time" to Tingxiang Pavilion, easing the awkwardness of entering Fragrance Pavilion for the first time!
"By the way, dear," Liu Tianyun said, with a slight feeling of guilt after pinching Ye Huan, and then massaged his arm gently, frowning slightly, "Have you noticed, Beibei is acting a bit odd, not like your fan?"
"Yes, a bit."
Ye Huan nodded. His observational skills were far beyond ordinary, and he had long understood from Lu Beibei's eyes why she targeted him, but he chose not to say much and didn't care too much about it.
What he's concerned about is something else!
While wandering in Cyan Peak Town with the girls in the afternoon, he vaguely sensed someone watching them from the shadows.
That feeling intensified when they left the night market street at night!
Yet he couldn't catch the person's trace in the dark, indicating their strength was exceptional, at least at the level of a Half-step Divine King, a top-tier expert!
Moreover, Ye Huan could feel that the person observing him from the dark harbored no malice.
Not only was there no malice, but there seemed to be... another kind of emotion?
Who exactly is following his group?
Ye Huan frowned, unable to figure it out.
...
The next day, throughout the streets and alleys of Cyan Peak Town, under the call of the Ma Family, decorations were put up with lanterns and streamers, creating a festive and lively atmosphere. Red banners were hung between poles and buildings, welcoming the leaders of various Ancient Martial Clans from afar and wishing for the smooth conduct of the Ma Family's celebration banquet!
At dusk, in the Ma Family courtyard.
"Is this where I sit?" Behind the curtain of the main stage in the center of the Ma Family courtyard, Jiang Shishuang furrowed her delicate brows, pointing at a table in front of her.
"Didn't you want a backstage position? Here it is."
Martin discreetly glanced at Jiang Shishuang, dressed in a black trench coat, swallowing secretly.
Too stunning, too cool.
A girl with such an icy elegance is surely a thrilling conquest!
Jiang Shishuang said no more, seating herself there.
