Chapter 534: The Marriage of Two People
"Turns out he's your friend, brother-in-law. Phew, you scared me to death," Su Ziqing gently patted her chest. "I thought he was a gangster."
"Someone as suave and handsome as me, how could I be just some minor thug?"
"He's here in Yanjing for a sightseeing tour, and I just happened to be going the same way," Ye Shikai explained.
"Oh, I see. Then let's hurry back," Su Ziqing said with a faint smile, pushing their suitcases over.
Just as they reached the car door, Wang Kai naturally got into the passenger seat, making Ye Shikai curious—could it be that he really wanted to chase after Su Ziqing?
"Qingqing, why didn't your sister come?" Sitting in the back, Ye Shikai took out his phone, but the message he sent to Su Qingyu hadn't been replied to, piquing his curiosity.
"She's busy at the office, so she asked me to pick you up," Su Ziqing turned her head and grinned mischievously, "Brother-in-law, my sister has prepared a surprise for you."
"A surprise, or a shock rather?" Ye Shikai suddenly felt uneasy; this little witch never seemed to rest, each mention of a surprise always ended up as a messy affair.
"Hehe, you'll know when you get there," Su Ziqing said with a cheeky laugh.
All along the way, Wang Kai was trying to strike up a conversation with Su Ziqing, and this guy, not only was he great at fighting but seemed to have a knack for hitting on girls too.
"Old Wang, I'm heading to the office for a bit, do you want to come with me?" Ye Shikai spoke to Wang Kai in the front seat.
"Sure, I've got nothing else going on," Wang Kai shrugged indifferently.

Tianya Group.
When Ye Shikai reached the lobby, he couldn't help but feel emotional, finally able to see his wife.
"Missing your wife, huh?" Suddenly, a teasing voice rang in his ear, Wang Kai joked on the side.
"Cut it out," Ye Shikai's face drooped immediately, truly a "mood killer." The three reached the company lobby, but the scene in front of him baffled him.
"That must be Ye Shikai."
"Yeah, yeah."
"I heard he's from the PR department, he does look handsome up close."
"I heard that PR Director An Lan has taken an interest in him."
"Keep it down, if the upper management hears our gossip, we're done for."
"Oh right."
Including the receptionist, almost everyone looked at Ye Shikai with an odd gaze, as if looking at an alien. It's peak work hours, and as the crowd converged towards the elevator, the doors were about to close.
"Wait, sorry," Ye Shikai hurried forward to press the button, the elevator doors slowly reopened. Normally, everyone inside was looking down at their phones, but as they raised their heads and saw who it was, suddenly everyone walked out, leaving the once full elevator empty in seconds.
"Wow, Old Ye, didn't expect you to have such a presence in the office," Wang Kai teased Ye Shikai in the elevator, "A personal elevator, pretty nice."
"It's really bizarre," Ye Shikai, grimacing as if he had swallowed a bitter herb, was at a loss for words. What exactly was going on?
"Ding dong." The elevator came to a smooth halt, and Ye Shikai returned to the PR department, planning to first check on An Lan.
"Wow, Old Ye, your department sure has a lot of beauties, the Netherworld Empress must really be broad-minded." Wang Kai looked around, his eyes sweeping over a "blooming" scene. Indeed, the PR department was recognized as a gathering place for beauties within the company.
"Less talk, believe it or not, I'll kick you out." Ye Shikai said in a low voice, glaring fiercely at Wang Kai.
"Tsk."
Ye Shikai searched the entire PR department but couldn't find An Lan, so he had no choice but to return to his desk.
"Whoa, Handsome Ye is back. Where have you been enjoying yourself lately?" Suddenly, a seductive voice lingered in his ears. Turning around, he saw Wanna leaning on his shoulder.
"Team Leader Wan, it's you. By the way, do you know where Mr. An went?" Ye Shikai shivered with goosebumps all over—Wanna really was fatally enchanting, she must have been a fox spirit in her past life.
"Oh, Handsome Ye has married the president, yet you still care so much about Mr. An. That doesn't seem very appropriate." Wanna gently stroked Ye Shikai's cheek, the scent of her perfume flooding his nostrils.
"What." Ye Shikai's pupils constricted, and he exclaimed loudly. Realizing his loss of composure, he then sat back down, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart.
"Team Leader Wan, how did you know?"
"Check out the company's internal website yourself; the president announced it personally." Wanna glanced at him before turning and walking away.
Ye Shikai quickly logged into the company's website on his computer. The top news was about his marriage with Su Qingyu, accompanied by a photo of the two of them, and the comments section was full of people mocking him. Ye Shikai was utterly shocked, and most crucially, the news was released by Su Qingyu herself.
How could she just send it out directly.
Ye Shikai finally understood why everyone in the company looked at him as if they were looking at Yama. The president's man, wouldn't that be... the boss's lady.
Looking back at Su Ziqing, who had a mischievous smile on her face, it seemed this was the so-called "surprise." Ye Shikai slumped lifelessly in his chair, indeed, it was more of a shock.
"Brother-in-law, why are you so unhappy?" Su Ziqing approached, her hands gently resting on Ye Shikai's shoulders.
"Eh, just quite shocked, that's all." Ye Shikai took a long breath, finally feeling somewhat better.
"I need to go ask your sister." Suddenly, Ye Shikai stood up hastily and took the elevator to Su Qingyu's office.
.....................
"Qingyu, Qingyu." Ye Shikai didn't knock, just pushed the door and entered.
"Eh, this must be Ye." What Ye Shikai didn't expect was that the usually quiet president's office was crowded with people. Looking around, these seemed to be the company's executives and shareholders.
"Yes, that's me." Ye Shikai walked straight to Su Qingyu's side, he, the Netherworld King, didn't care about these people's status at all.
"How can you just come in like this? Didn't you see I was handling matters?" With everyone here, Su Qingyu was obviously somewhat constrained and could only speak in a hushed angry tone.
"I saw, but I have something to ask you." Ye Shikai was eager to understand what was happening.
"Young man, you are the president's fiancé." At that moment, a disdainful voice spoke up, and Ye Shikai turned his head to see a middle-aged man sitting in a chair.
"Nonsense, if not me then who, you?" Ye Shikai couldn't stand this tone and directly retorted.
"You... a mere employee..."
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're a mute. Sit there quietly, or else I'll make sure you can never speak again." Ye Shikai said coldly, a chill suddenly enveloping everyone, a hint of blood-red flashing through his eyes…
