Chapter 37: Shopping with Rose Ethan then left the hotel with his supercar. The car enthusiasts watched the vehicle disappear with envy and fanaticism. But the owner was none other than Ethan Hunt—the most popular young man in the city. Though they didn’t know exactly who Ethan was, they knew one thing: he had the power and authority to move the entire Martial Alliance in the city if needed. Ethan parked his car near Rose’s apartment building. This super-luxurious car immediately caught the attention of everyone in the district. But no one dared come near it—they feared a single scratch could cost them their lives. Ethan messaged Rose. Three minutes later, Rose appeared.
She wore an elegant off-shoulder navy-blue velvet dress that hugged her figure gracefully. The fabric shimmered subtly under the sunlight. Her hair was tied up in a soft bun, with a few strands falling around her ears. Silver heels and delicate pearl earrings completed the look, making her appear noble and stunning—like a goddess descending to earth.
Ethan stepped out of the car. But when he looked at Rose— He was mesmerized by her ethereal beauty. His mind drifted into silence; no one knew what he was thinking. But what Ethan didn’t know was that Rose was facing an even more intense reaction than him. The last time she saw him, he was still at the Master level. Now, he had broken through to Grandmaster and undergone a second baptism. There was a vast difference in him—before and after. Rose’s heart pounded like a drum. It felt as though it might leap from her chest."This damn man is more beautiful than me. Unforgivable," Rose snorted inwardly. "I must learn his secret for this kind of beauty."
Ethan suddenly felt a chill on his back. "Which son of a b** is cursing me from behind?"**
He smiled, stepped forward, and said, "Hello, my lady. Shall we go?"
Rose smiled back as Ethan opened the car door for her. She stepped inside gracefully. Then Ethan followed.
. "Where do you want to go?" Ethan asked.
Rose replied, "I don’t have any particular choice. Do you have one?"
Ethan thought for a moment.
"Let’s go shopping first."
Rose’s eyes immediately lit up. Which girl didn’t like shopping? Rose was no different. She had just buried that passion deep inside—for her mother and sister. But with Ethan entering her life, those suppressed desires began to rise again. She wanted to be spoiled.
Ethan smiled and sped off with a boom.
They arrived at the biggest shopping center in the city. It was run by a branch of the Paragon Group—an international enterprise owned by the top families of the world.
Ethan parked his car. A parking boy nearby stood with reverence in his eyes. This was the Celestial Nova Special Edition. The owner had to be extremely influential.
The boy opened the door. Ethan stepped out with elegance, radiating a noble aura.
Ethan then walked to Rose’s side and opened the door for her.
Rose stepped out.
Ethan threw the key to the parking boy. "Park it."
The boy was still awed by the aura of the couple. They were the epitome of perfection—a celestial pair made for each other.
He snapped out of it and quickly got into the driver’s seat. He had never driven such a car before. He was thrilled.
Ethan and Rose entered the shopping center.
"So, Rose. What do you want to buy? You can have anything in this place. And when I say ’anything,’ I mean it—including me."
His mouth was close to Rose’s ear. Her ears turned red like tomatoes. Steam almost came out of her head. She quickly walked ahead, leaving Ethan behind.
If she stayed a moment longer, she might have died.
Ethan laughed and followed.
"Hahaha, sorry, don’t be angry. I was just joking. But the part about ’you can buy anything’—that was serious."
Rose’s heart was still in turmoil.
She entered a random shop to escape the butterflies in her stomach.
Ethan followed her in.
A woman approached them. "Hello ma’am, hello sir. Welcome to our shop. What would you like to buy?"
It was a luxurious women’s clothing store—spacious, elegant.
Ethan looked around and asked, "Do you sell the most beautiful and expensive clothes in this shopping center? If not, we’ll leave. And don’t try to deceive me with nonsense. That’ll cost you heavily. Just answer yes or no."
He didn’t want to intimidate the salesgirl, but he also knew how shops often boasted about being the best just to beat competitors. Ethan wanted only the finest for Rose. So his tone was sharp.
The girl was frightened. This man radiated a dangerous aura. And with his heavenly looks, he was definitely no ordinary person.
Her throat went dry, but she still gathered her courage and replied, "Yes."
Ethan smiled. The dangerous aura vanished. Now, he looked like a completely harmless man.
Rose rolled her eyes. Who talks to a lady like that?
But deep down... she felt happy.
Cough cough, not happy at all. Definitely not happy.
Ethan said, "You see this lady here? Doesn’t she look like the Queen of Angels? Do you have something worthy of her?"
Rose, whose heart had just calmed, immediately felt it pounding again.
"This bastard really wants to kill me! I need to be more prepared for this kind of sneak attack."
