The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

Chapter 542: Late Night Talks



"Huh, Qingyu still hasn't come home." After sending Han Ruoyao off, Ye Shikai and Su Ziqing returned home, but as soon as the door opened, Ye Shikai sharply noticed that Su Qingyu hasn't returned yet.

Ye Shikai looked at the clock on the wall, it was already half past eleven, nearly midnight, why hasn't she come home yet? Ye Shikai had a bad premonition.

"Brother-in-law, you don't need to worry about my sister, sometimes she works overtime to handle company affairs, and it's possible for her to be busy until two or three in the morning." Su Ziqing changed into her slippers and, seeing Ye Shikai's concern, explained to comfort him.

"Really? I'll still make a call." Ye Shikai was somewhat uneasy, and went directly to the room to take out his cell phone.

"Beep... Beep..."

"Hello, Qingyu, is that you?" After a few seconds, the call finally connected, and Ye Shikai breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed Su Qingyu was alright.

"Mm."

"It's very late, aren't you coming back?" Ye Shikai said anxiously.

"Oh, I'll be back soon." From the other end of the phone, Su Qingyu's voice sounded somewhat weak.

"Beep... Beep..."

"Hello, hello, why did you hang up so quickly?" Ye Shikai threw the phone on the bed, feeling somewhat oppressed inside; Su Qingyu's behavior today was unusual, even if she had to work overtime, it shouldn't be like this, it rather seemed like she was hiding something.

The more Ye Shikai thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Forget it, I'll go there in person, Ye Shikai picked up the car keys from the table, drove the Lexus straight to Tianya Group. It was already late at night, but for the bustling city of Yanjing, the roads are indistinguishable from day and night. Ye Shikai, feeling anxious, couldn't help but speed, and what was usually a half-hour drive, he reached in less than twenty minutes.

"Finally arrived." Ye Shikai drove the car to the entrance of Tianya Group's building, just as he was about to get out, he saw a woman walking out from the company's main door in an evening dress exuding a noble aura, followed by six or seven black-clothed guards. Ye Shikai grew curious, there shouldn't be any banquet in the company today, so what was this woman doing here? The answer was obvious, it must be Su Qingyu, no wonder she dressed so formally before leaving, she was going to meet someone.

Ye Shikai quietly sat in the car, silently watching the woman, and conveniently took a photo.

"Knock knock knock."

"Come in." Su Qingyu spoke softly.

"Qingyu."

"Huh, how did you come here." The moment Su Qingyu saw Ye Shikai, her face immediately showed a surprised expression, but deep in her eyes, there was a hint of panic that went unnoticed.

"How can I sleep peacefully when my wife hasn't come home this late?" Ye Shikai said with a smile, pulled up a chair, and sat down next to Su Qingyu.

"Talking nonsense again." Su Qingyu snorted coquettishly.

"Did someone come to see you?" Ye Shikai suddenly blurted.

"Mm, it was about company matters." Su Qingyu turned her head away, continuing to deal with the papers on the desk.

"Alright, it's so late, let's go home first." Ye Shikai gently took Su Qingyu's small hand and said with a smile.

"Okay, that works."

When the two of them walked out of Tianya Group's main gate, Ye Shikai let Su Qingyu get in the car, but he scanned the parking lot and sharply noticed that the woman's car hadn't left at all and was instead parked in another spot.

Ye Shikai hid behind a car and silently lit a cigarette. Why hadn't this woman left? What was she waiting for...

"Smoking again, do you know it's bad for your health?" As soon as she entered the driver's seat, Su Qingyu waved her hands repeatedly as if smelling a foul odor—indeed, people who smoke often carry a hard-to-remove tobacco scent.

"Really? I think my health is rather fine," Ye Shikai said with a faint smile. To a cultivator, the likelihood of falling ill is almost zero, as Inner Strength would eliminate any harmful bacteria.

"Cut it out, you're quitting smoking from today," Su Qingyu snorted coldly, throwing out the cigarette Ye Shikai had in his mouth, and crossed her arms in an uncompromising stance.

"You really are bossy," Ye Shikai smiled faintly. "But smoking has become a habit for me, I'm afraid it's hard to change."

"It has to change," Su Qingyu said, her cheeks flushing like a young girl turning away.

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

Yanjing, Wang Mansion.

Wang Qian and Su Qingyu had talked for several hours in the company, and by the time they got back to the mansion, they were visibly tired. A trace of resentment flashed in Wang Qian's eyes—Su Qingyu had turned down her request. Could it be that she truly was not afraid of Wang Family's power? Moreover, today she learned the identity of Su Qingyu's husband, Ye Shikai—who was he? Wang Qian was very familiar with Yanjing's business circles and simply could not match this name to anyone.

Could he be some kind of hidden "big shot"? In the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger realm of Yanjing, such possibilities could not be excluded. Wang Qian, being extremely cautious, wouldn't make a move without understanding the situation thoroughly.

If Ye Shikai truly was a major figure, then opposing him would be a loss for the Wang Family.

"Sister, how did your talk go?" As soon as Wang Qian entered the house, a man approached her, the second son of the Wang Family, Wang Hai.

"Su Qingyu didn't agree," Wang Qian said coldly. She knew her brother well, a typical spoiled rich kid. Su Qingyu is a business genius, not just striking in appearance but also sharp-witted, such a proud woman indeed isn't easy to compromise.

"What, how could that be, isn't she afraid of our Wang Family?" Wang Hai asked, his face full of shock, which quickly turned to disappointment. Wang Qian looked at him with disdain—indeed, Wang Hai's only advantage was his family background.

"I also heard that her husband is called Ye Shikai. I've just returned to Huaxia and still a bit unfamiliar; do you know him?" Wang Qian laid down on the sofa and took a sip of coffee.

"Ye Shikai? Who is he? I've never heard of him," Wang Hai expressed his confusion, scratching his head, unable to recall such a person.

"Young Master, I have heard of this man," a guard-like figure spoke up at this moment.

"Who is he?"

"I have heard about him through my undercover source under Luo Shiqi," the guard continued. "This man is quite close to Luo Shiqi; they even frequently spend time alone together."

"Is that so?" Wang Qian's gaze sharpened, all of a sudden becoming very serious.

"Absolutely true, the informant is my trusted confidant, there is no mistake in this matter," the guard firmly stated.

"This person also has ties with Luo Shiqi; he really is no simple man," Wang Qian took another sip of her coffee, a solemn glint flashing in her eyes.
