Chapter 598: Chapter 599: Two Stripes (1)

Gan Yuan glanced sideways, watching the man beside her.

Under the moonlight, the man’s profile was impeccably perfect, and his dark eyes were filled with determination and tenacity.

"Is this matter... really that important to you?"

The Moses she remembered was not one who desired power too much, so why had he come to such a decision this time? A relentless curiosity pressed down on Gan Yuan’s heart.

Or could it be that people truly change?

Moses withdrew his gaze from the crescent moon, glanced at her quickly with a turn of his head, and then lifted his face again to look into the distance.

"More than anything else."

Gan Yuan nodded.

"I will do everything I can to help you accomplish it."

She didn’t understand the reason behind his words, but since it was such an important matter to him, she would certainly do everything she could, even if it meant... repaying all the favors she owed him.

Moses’s lips curled up, his tone soft with tenderness.

"I know, my Gaia will never disappoint me. You can do it!"

Gan Yuan looked down and remained silent.

If it had been before, she would certainly have laughed and hugged his shoulders, or punched him lightly on the chest with her fist, saying arrogantly, "Of course." But now...

Time had passed, circumstances had changed, and she and he... would probably never be able to return to the way things were.

Under the moonlight, a man and a woman stood side by side, ready for battle, yet no longer chatting freely as they had in the past, each lost in their own thoughts.

...

...

The next morning, everything went according to Moses’s plan.

At breakfast, Gan Yuan specifically suggested to bring along the butler, and Moses did not refuse. After the meal, a group of them set off for the airport, headed for the Capital of F Country.

During the flight, Gan Yuan felt unwell several times but struggled to suppress it without showing any signs. After everyone arrived and checked into the hotel, she immediately rushed into the restroom.

Fortunately, Moses hadn’t arranged for Jessica to share a room with her but had booked the best room just for her.

As they were having dinner together in the restaurant, Gan Yuan cautiously spoke up.

"I think... I’d like to go out and buy a few outfits, is that alright?"

Moses’s face showed little emotion; he simply indicated that for her safety, he would have Jessica accompany her.

So, after the meal, the two girls left the hotel together, with Gan Yuan making a point to bring the butler along.

Jessica drove, while Gan Yuan and the butler sat in the back seat.

The car had not gone far when she felt a wave of nausea in her chest. Despite pressing it down for a long time, she couldn’t contain the overwhelming urge to retch. Worried that Jessica would notice, she quickly grabbed a tissue to cover her mouth and nose.

"Are you... alright?" The butler immediately noticed that something was off.

Gan Yuan wiped the corner of her mouth and gave him a disguising smile, "Probably just didn’t eat well tonight."

Shortly after, the car arrived at a large shopping mall.

Gan Yuan led them straight to the women’s clothing department and randomly picked out a few outfits, then used the pretext of an upset stomach to suggest going to a drugstore to get some medicine.

The butler and Jessica naturally did not suspect anything, and immediately carried the large and small bags she had purchased downstairs to a nearby drugstore.

Gan Yuan glanced around and quickly spotted the area with the item she actually needed. Pretending to search for something, she walked over to the family planning section, used her body to block the surveillance camera, reached behind her with one hand, and quietly grabbed a small box of test strips, stealthily slipping them into her pocket. Then she headed to the digestive medicine section and picked up two boxes of stomach medicine as a cover, successfully made the purchase, and left.
