The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

Ye Shikai's body trembled slightly, his expression was very downcast. Su Qingyu was exceptionally perceptive, and she knew why Ye Shikai had come here—to save Ji Qian. Now that the person had been rescued, why wasn't he returning? The reason was obvious. But now, Ji Qian did not want Ye Shikai to stay at all. Expressionless, she moved to leave but was stopped by Ye Shikai again.

"Wait." Ye Shikai suddenly became agitated, his grip a bit too strong, almost hurting Ji Qian.

"Um... I still have a few days before I leave, during this time... let me stay with you." Ye Shikai lowered his head, his voice clearly lacking confidence. He feared Ji Qian would refuse. Indeed, he understood Su Qingyu's feelings very well, but this time, he wanted to make a decision following his heart's desire—at least, he could spend these few days with her.

The two fell into silence, Ye Shikai waiting for Ji Qian's response.

Without speaking, without crying, Ji Qian slowly reached out her hand and gently held Ye Shikai's hand, their fingers interlocking...

........................

In recent days, Wang Kai and Athena did not rush back to their respective Main God Temples. For the people of the Underworld, just being alive was already fortunate. After Atlantis returned, everyone celebrated well in the Netherworld Palace.

"Has your second personality recurred recently?" Under the beautiful sunset, Ye Shikai and Ji Qian sat in a small boat, enjoying the sunset.

"Not really, probably because I haven't been using my inner strength." Ye Shikai leaned back in the seat, and Ji Qian lazily leaned on his shoulder, letting the boat drift freely. In the ruins, the second personality frequently emerged largely due to the excessive use of inner strength, which drained too much and triggered the second personality, nearly killing Ji Qian. However, from another perspective, the situation was dire at that time and if not for the eruption of divine power from the second personality, perhaps everyone would have been in danger.

"What if the second personality emerges in Huaxia? What would you do?" Ji Qian's words were filled with deep concern, her brows tightly furrowed.

"Worried about me, huh? A little while ago you were acting indifferent, as if you couldn't wait for me to leave." Ye Shikai lightly teased Ji Qian's cute nose, indeed, she still cared deeply inside.

"Annoying, can't you be serious?" Ji Qian retorted petulantly, shrugging slightly, "I'm just worried you might hurt someone by accident."

"Be serious, how would you handle it if the second personality really did emerge?" Ji Qian said with a serious face.

"What else can I do? Just have someone kill me on the spot." Ye Shikai said teasingly, yet his tone was thick with self-mockery. He wasn't indifferent, but truly had no other solution. If there really came such a day, his only request would be to have the other party kill him immediately, regardless of anything.

If the second personality harmed Su Qingyu, just thinking about it made Ye Shikai break out in a cold sweat, he dared not think further.

"You..." Ji Qian wanted to get angry but seeing Ye Shikai's expression, she silently leaned on his shoulder again.

"Keep the Four Elements with you, it can at least suppress the Demon Addiction," Ji Qian said softly after a long time.

"I know."

........................

As the sun set, the temperature also gradually dropped, Ye Shikai unconsciously held the woman in his arms a bit tighter.

"Qian."

"What is it?" Ji Qian lifted her head and said softly.

"Promise me one thing." Ye Shikai spoke calmly.

"What is it?" Ji Qian asked curiously.

"You first agree, then I'll tell you what it's about." Ye Shikai shook his head, looking quite serious as if it was a matter of great importance.

"You first tell me what it is, then I'll consider whether to agree or not."

"Alright then, if one day, my second personality completely takes over my body, and my own consciousness completely disappears, you have to promise me to obey him, okay?" A trace of sadness flashed through Ye Shikai's eyes.

"No way." Ji Qian refused outright; she understood what Ye Shikai meant. The second personality was brutally ruthless and unrecognized even by his own kin, but most crucially, his destructive power and ambition were immense, truly a complete devil. If Ji Qian adamantly refused, she would definitely be killed by him. Rather than that, Ye Shikai would prefer that Ji Qian be submissive to him, at least to ensure her safety.

"Listen to me..."

"There's no way." Before Ye Shikai could finish, Ji Qian interrupted him preemptively.

"I absolutely cannot bear to kill you with my own hands." Ye Shikai lamented; after all, though it is called the second personality, the physical body still belonged to Ye Shikai. In the end, whether it was himself or the second personality, it was still "Ye Shikai."

"If that's the case, I'd rather die by your hand." Ji Qian's words silenced Ye Shikai completely.

"Besides, you know very well, the second personality hates me to the core, even if I complied, do you think he would spare me?" Ji Qian said with a bitter smile.

"Sigh, forget it, let's change the subject." Ye Shikai shook his hand, showing his helplessness. Sometimes Ji Qian was so stubborn it bordered on paranoia; reasoning with her could lead one to doubt their own existence...

"You and Chuanzi, you didn't do something, did you?" The words had barely left her mouth when Ji Qian coldly threw out this sentence.

"What, her? She's still a child." Ye Shikai frowned, why do women get jealous over nothing?

"Is that so? But I heard from Athena that you took quite the 'care' of her at the tomb, to what extend did this 'care' go?" Ji Qian's words were like spikes striking directly at his heart.

A complete misunderstanding, Ye Shikai inwardly despised Athena a thousand times; that woman had nothing better to do and always said things that led to misunderstandings.

"Where did that come from? After all, she has a powerful grandfather, I couldn't just ignore her completely. What if something happened to her, how would I face Iga Chilang's trouble?" Ye Shikai hurriedly explained.

"Yeah, her grandfather is the Ninja Emperor, and he dotes on this granddaughter a lot." Ji Qian said indifferently.

"Exactly." Ye Shikai sighed in relief, thankfully his response was quick enough, his will to survive was strong.

"What about her figure?"

"Not bad, and considering her young age, she still has room to grow..." A second later, when Ji Qian's frosty face appeared in front of him, Ye Shikai realized he had said the wrong thing.

It was completely a natural reaction from a man.

"Ah, stop kicking, there's a lake below."

"Hey, listen to my explanation, I'm going to fall, I'm falling, aaaah."

"Splash."

From the center of the calm lake, came the sound of a man falling into water.
