The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

Chapter 556: Hidden Potential



"So you're saying you're willing to stay and keep me company." After listening, Chen Yuxin revealed a surprised and delighted smile.

"Ah, well, there are actually a lot of things I want to talk to you about." Ye Shikai saw an opening and breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had lost, it wouldn't be right to go back on his word. Upon second thought, reminiscing the past with her wasn't such a bad thing. He could take this opportunity to advise her. Fortunately, Su Qingyu wasn't the clingy type, and everything should be fine after an explanation.

"That's fantastic, then you should stay here tonight." Chen Yuxin exclaimed joyously. Ye Shikai truly hadn't expected her level of Inner Strength to be this profound. Let alone in combat, just the speed she exhibited earlier was definitely not something an ordinary cultivator could possess. Ye Shikai was the Netherworld King, and just now he had used almost seventy to eighty percent of his full power to barely manage a tie with Chen Yuxin. What's more critical was that this might not even be the limit of her full strength.

Ye Shikai inwardly exclaimed, realizing he really needed to redefine his perception of this childhood sweetheart.

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

"Hey, Qingyu."

"What's wrong? Haven't you come back yet?" Su Qingyu's voice rang from the other end of the phone, making Ye Shikai feel a bit guilty.

"Ah, I have some matters to discuss with a friend. It's gotten quite late, so I'm not coming back tonight. You and Qingqing go to sleep first." Ye Shikai hastily concocted an excuse, fearing Su Qingyu would catch on to anything, especially since Chen Yuxin was looking at him with a predatory gaze that sent chills down his spine...

"Oh, alright then. Take care."

"Mm, sure, will do." As soon as Ye Shikai finished speaking, he hung up the phone, afraid of betraying any slip-up.

"Cough cough, Xin, um... could you trouble the servants to prepare a guest room for me?" Ye Shikai stumbled into this situation, but he was determined to keep his dignity.

"Of course." Chen Yuxin smiled, "Please wait here for a moment, I'll go and ask the servants to arrange it." After saying that, she swiftly left the room, bodily blocking the doorway, then shut the door behind her.

"Click." The distinct sound of the door locking, and Ye Shikai nearly broke down. How much did she fear him running away? The metallic glass and tightly locked door meant Ye Shikai was practically imprisoned.

Returning to the dining table, Ye Shikai stuffed a few pastries into his mouth and decided to wait. He took out his phone intending to play games to pass the time, only to find, shockingly, that his phone couldn't connect to the network.

"How strange, I haven't missed any phone bill payments." Ye Shikai tried several times curiously, but to no avail, his gaze fleetingly sweeping over to the upper left corner of the screen, he was startled to see that there was no signal.

There was signal blocking here. What on earth did Chen Yuxin want to do?

"Xin, open the door!" Ye Shikai rushed to the door and desperately twisted the handle, of course to no avail. He then channeled his Inner Strength, hoping to forcefully break the lock.

With a swift punch, Ye Shikai threw a light punch, but the wooden door didn't budge as expected. Instead, the energy of the punch was directly reflected back, and the door remained unscathed.

"This door is weird." Ye Shikai placed his hand on the door and infused a burst of Inner Strength, only to feel a strong repulsion that sent him stumbling back several steps.

"Sword Spirit, what's the deal with this door?" Left with no other options, Ye Shikai decided to consult the Sword Spirit in his mind.

"There is a protective Array on this door. Unless you break the Array, this amount of Inner Strength will definitely not be enough to break the door," the Sword Spirit stated indifferently.

"What, that too?" Ye Shikai exclaimed in surprise, not expecting that Chen Yuxin was also skilled in array formations, and had used it to confine him.

"Do you have a method to break the array? Teach me quickly." Ye Shikai asked eagerly.

"This array should belong to the secret treasures of Huaxia, definitely created by a powerful figure, without the array formation, it simply cannot be broken," Dao Soul said helplessly.

"How could this be?" Ye Shikai felt like he had plummeted to rock bottom. He walked over to the window and, sure enough, the metallic glass was also embedded with the same array formation, meaning he was truly "isolated" now.

"Unexpected, isn't it? That such a young woman could set up such a powerful array." Dao Soul couldn't help but marvel, "This woman hides her strength deeply, this I must remind you."

"It can't be." Ye Shikai felt that Dao Soul's words were a bit of an exaggeration. Although Chen Yuxin was a cultivator, she couldn't be that strong, right? In his subconscious, Chen Yuxin was still that little girl who always relied on him.

"Hmph, one day you will know."

"Bang." Suddenly, the wooden door was flung open. Ye Shikai turned his head sharply to see Chen Yuxin smiling at him.

"Xin, why did you set up an array, and also blocked the signals?" Ye Shikai began by questioning her.

"Alright, stop asking so many questions, just come with me." Chen Yuxin didn't answer, instead, she directly grabbed Ye Shikai and "dragged" him out of the room.

"This is your room." Chen Yuxin said with a smile as she pulled Ye Shikai into one of the rooms.

"Hey, this is clearly your room." Ye Shikai couldn't help but complain, setting aside anything else, whose guest room would be entirely pink wallpaper, and pink bed sheets? It was obviously a woman's room.

"You've found out." Chen Yuxin said with a smile while taking a set of pajamas from the bed and handing them to Ye Shikai, "Go take a shower, and then we'll sleep together."

"Hey, hey, I agreed to keep you company with a chat, how did it become keeping you company by sleeping." As soon as Ye Shikai spoke, he felt something was wrong, this sounded a little awkward...

"But didn't you promise me? Tonight, you are mine," Chen Yuxin said with a faint smile, gazing fondly at Ye Shikai.

"No, Xin, I'm already married, you really are... stop messing around." Ye Shikai suddenly became anxious; he had never thought about sharing a room with Chen Yuxin, let alone getting into bed.

"No, you must keep me company tonight." Chen Yuxin's expression suddenly turned cold, her arms swiftly grabbed Ye Shikai, and somewhat "violently" pushed him toward the bathroom, then she immediately closed the door...

It has to be said, the Chen family's mansion is still very luxurious, the bathroom is so large, estimating at a glance, it's even bigger than his previous home's bedroom. The white towels were neatly arranged, and Ye Shikai was somewhat unaccustomed to it; he even felt a bit uncomfortable using Su Qingyu's bedroom bathroom when they first shared a room, let alone now when it's "voluntary."

Ye Shikai shook his head, no, how could he get into bed? This would only exacerbate the conflict. Ye Shikai didn't undress; he planned to burst out and then run for his life...

Ye Shikai tiptoed to the door, wanting to twist the handle. The bathroom door was locked from the inside, that should be fine, right?

"Click, click." Ye Shikai twisted the handle to the end, but the door did not open as expected. A sinking feeling in his heart, the door was also reinforced with an array.
