The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

"Alright then." Ultimately, under Ye Shikai's insistence, Chen Yuxin abandoned the idea of remaking the meal. Ye Shikai felt that she seemed very nervous; during each part of the meal, she paid meticulous attention. Whenever Ye Shikai's wine glass was empty, she would pour more wine. She ensured that each dish was served at its optimal time, orderly as if rehearsed.

An hour later.

"I really enjoyed the meal." Ye Shikai revealed a satisfied smile, he was never one to complain about too much food, he would eat whatever was served, and nearly all the dishes were finished.

"Kai, are you happy now?" Suddenly, Chen Yuxin posed a question that Ye Shikai found difficult to answer; it struck a chord with him.

"Happy, Qingyu is a very excellent wife." Ye Shikai paused, since he couldn't choose Chen Yuxin, he had to firmly reject her.

"Then... am I as excellent as her?" A hint of dimness flashed in Chen Yuxin's eyes as she continued to inquire.

"You are both very excellent, at least in my heart." Ye Shikai nodded firmly, both in response and in his true feelings. Chen Yuxin and Su Qingyu were extraordinary beauties, extremely gentle, and business-savvy women...

It's really incomparable.

"Why then, I have known you for so long, she has only known you for a short while, why did you choose her?" Chen Yuxin tried to remain calm, but whenever Ye Shikai was mentioned, she couldn't maintain her composure.

"Xin, such things are difficult for me too, can you understand that?" Ye Shikai shook his head, raised his glass, and downed the red wine. Indeed, if it were about the duration and depth of relationships, Chen Yuxin was not only his earliest girlfriend but also the woman he couldn't let go of.

But fate plays tricks; after separating for four years, a woman named Ji Qian entered Ye Shikai's world. Following an all-too cliché yet real heroic rescue, Ji Qian started to occupy his heart, soothing the scars in Ye Shikai's heart silently, like a drizzle nourishing everything, quietly staying by his side...

Later, he returned to Yanjing, under a ludicrous arranged marriage he met a cold female CEO named Su Qingyu. Initially, their relationship wasn't good. During this "cold period," he met a lovesick woman named Luo Shiqi, who was his "listener" during his most downcast moments.

Five hundred glances in a past life only lead to a brush passing in this life. Perhaps the next second, at the next street corner, he will meet someone unforgettable.

"But can you understand me?" Chen Yuxin's voice suddenly choked up, "I'm fed up with the endless nights, I don't want to be alone like this anymore."

Ye Shikai broke into Chen Yuxin's heart, planting a seed there, and after surviving harsh conditions, when the seed of affection bloomed into the flower of reunion, there was no one to pick it...

"Of course, I understand you. That's why I came to meet you today, to comfort you," Ye Shikai hurriedly consoled, fearing Chen Yuxin might break down again.

"Comfort." Chen Yuxin murmured, a determined light suddenly flashing in her eyes. "Kai, did you come here just to comfort me?"

"For so many years, I've had enough of insincerity and seen enough of the world's coldness. Eight years ago, after I was forcibly taken away by my parents, do you know what I thought of?" Chen Yuxin's words deeply troubled Ye Shikai.

"Not anger, not regrets, not missing you," Chen Yuxin's emotions exploded. "What I thought was, I wasn't strong enough. I might appear as a princess of the family, but was just a puppet at others' disposal."

"I want to choose my own life, be my own master, not be manipulated by others..."

"Every time I think of when we parted, how powerless I was to resist, I hate how weak I was then. Weak to the point where when I left, I couldn't even fight back or express my thoughts." As she spoke, Chen Yuxin's tears streamed down...

"It's okay, the crying... that's all in the past, I don't blame you," Ye Shikai gently patted her shoulder, softly consoling her.

"Kai, you haven't been in my family; you don't understand my hardship." Chen Yuxin slowly showed a furious look. "I have only one way to choose my own life, and that is to reach the top."

"Since then, I've been determined to become the Family Head." Chen Yuxin's words deeply moved Ye Shikai. In a major family like the Chen family, how this fragile woman climbed step by step to the position of Family Head, he dared not imagine, and Chen Yuxin did not dare to reminisce, just as Ye Shikai in the Underworld, how he stepped from a mercenary to the throne of the Netherworld King, felt like walking through hell.

Ye Shikai could hardly imagine how that delicate girl managed all that.

"Family infighting, constant deception and changes, Kai, you don't know what I've done." Chen Yuxin excitedly held Ye Shikai tightly, refusing to let go, a woman's way of seeking security. Seeing Chen Yuxin's pained expression, Ye Shikai couldn't help but shed tears too.

"I did all this for you," Chen Yuxin leaned close to Ye Shikai's ear, her near-mournful words completely broke Ye Shikai.

"Xin, you don't actually need to do all this." Ye Shikai said bitterly. He, a poor kid, didn't deserve a 'princess' to "struggle" for eight years on his behalf; indeed, Chen Yuxin could have lived a much easier life, dressed in silks and satins, living a debutante's life.

"Kai, we can still be together. I can compensate Qingyu. Isn't Tianya Group her heart and soul? I can double, triple its market price. Whatever she wants, I can make it happen, I just want you."

Chen Yuxin eagerly watched Ye Shikai, waiting for a decision, an agonizing choice.

"No." Ye Shikai struggled to utter a word.

"Why." Chen Yuxin trembled, as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

"Because I love her." Ye Shikai stated firmly. "I love her, just like I love you."

"You're lying, I don't believe you would fall out of love." Chen Yuxin shook her head; in her mind, Ye Shikai was definitely not a fickle man, otherwise, he wouldn't have captured her heart initially.

"I haven't fallen out of love," Ye Shikai suddenly pulled Chen Yuxin close, whispering deliberately in her ear, "I love you, and I love her too. My feelings for both of you are real."
