The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

Is this for real? Ye Shikai sighed inwardly, twisting the doorknob a few more times, but the door wouldn't budge, definitely sealed with an Array.

"Come on, are you kidding me?" Ye Shikai exclaimed. Even the most vicious criminals wouldn't receive this kind of "treatment" in prison, this is practically house arrest.

Ye Shikai didn't initially have many issues with it, but this incident has caused him to start worrying. In the past eight years, Chen Yuxin's changes were too drastic, beyond Ye Shikai's imagination. Her changes were even more significant than his, and her intentions had become difficult for him to grasp.

Twenty minutes later.

After taking a shower, Ye Shikai changed into the pajamas, which surprisingly fit perfectly. These brand-name pajamas seemed tailor-made, but how did Chen Yuxin get his measurements?

"Hey, Xin, I'm done with my shower, please open the door quickly," Ye Shikai knocked on the door and raised his voice.

"Click." A few seconds later, the bathroom door opened, and Chen Yuxin was there, smiling at him, both wearing obviously matching couple's pajamas.

"Why did you set up an Array?" Ye Shikai was getting angry, regardless of what Chen Yuxin felt inside, such behavior was something that Ye Shikai, as a man, couldn't accept.

"Kai, can you not fuss about it?" Chen Yuxi seemed to completely ignore Ye Shikai's anger, pulling his hand to go outside.

"That's enough." Ye Shikai angrily shook off her hand, unable to comprehend Chen Yuxin's actions. "What exactly are you trying to do? Just tell me straight, what's with setting up an Array? Are you trying to make a fool out of me?"

"Kai, I'm sorry," Chen Yuxin blurted out apologetically as Ye Shikai scolded her, her pretty face blushing, murmuring, "I was just worried you would leave."

"I promised to talk with you, and I won't break my promise, but what you did made me very angry," Ye Shikai stated seriously and then went straight to the sofa and lay down.

"Kai, the sofa is so uncomfortable, go lie on the bed," Chen Yuxin said dejectedly.

"No need, I'm just here to chat with you, I'll go home later," Ye Shikai continued forcefully from the earlier momentum.

"No, you promised to stay with me, didn't you? And during dinner, you lost the three moves challenge," Chen Yuxin, excited by his words, almost pounced over.

"Alright, let's just talk for the night then," Ye Shikai relented and nodded, resigned to having lost the three-move challenge, he was willing to accept the consequences.

"Kai, where have you been these eight years?" Chen Yuxin sat on the single-seat sofa, propped her chin, and batted her eyes at Ye Shikai.

"Joined the military, then went abroad, did some business, and later came back to get married," Ye Shikai replied with his eyes closed, putting a pillow behind his neck, unaware of the gloominess that flickered across Chen Yuxin's face at the mention of "getting married," like the calm before a storm.

"How did you get into cultivation then?" Chen Yuxin continued to inquire.

"I obtained a treasured tome during a battle, and that's what started my cultivation," Ye Shikai didn't hide anything, naturally referring to the Emperor Xuan Scripture.

"How about you? How did you start to cultivate?" Ye Shikai asked in return.

"It was taught to me by my great-grandfather." Chen Yuxin said shyly, lowering her head. Ye Shikai's expression changed slightly. Chen Yuxin was over twenty years old, so wouldn't that mean her great-grandfather would be over a hundred years old? However, cultivation can prolong life, so living to a hundred years old was considered normal. But for someone over a hundred years old, his Inner Strength must be incredibly profound.

The growth of Yanjing's families relied heavily on the support of the cultivators within each clan. These cultivators were like invisible "assets" and the backbone of the family's power. The Chen family had been able to stand tall in Yanjing for many years and even grow to such extent, thanks to the support of cultivators. Ji Qian once said that cultivators existed since ancient times, and in the past, they were centered in the East before gradually moving West. During this period, many secret manuals, sacred texts, and treasures must have been left behind. As time changed, cultivators mostly lived in seclusion.

This would easily explain why Chen Yuxin could set up Arrays—it must have been her great-grandfather who taught her—and also why her Inner Strength was so profound.

The two of them chatted sporadically, and soon night fell.

"Kai, the sofa is cold to sleep on, come up here." Chen Yuxin lifted a corner of the blanket and whispered to Ye Shikai.

"No need, I'm too hot." Ye Shikai turned away perfunctorily. If he really went up to sleep, it would be the end of him. If Su Qingyu found out, she'd chop him to pieces...

"But I'm cold," suddenly, a soft voice whispered in Ye Shikai's ear, and he felt two arms wrap around his waist from behind, followed by the soft pressure of something against his back...

Chen Yuxin had actually squeezed herself onto the sofa with him.

"Hey, you're mistaken, get down quickly." Ye Shikai couldn't help but yell out. Squeezing two people onto one couch could only be incredibly crammed, and even when he slept with Su Qingyu, they were not this "intimate." Ye Shikai certainly couldn't take it, but he couldn't just push Chen Yuxin off either.

Now he was trapped on the inside part of the sofa, and he definitely couldn't get off without going past Chen Yuxin. But seeing the situation, it didn't look like he would be able to get up for the time being...

"Xin, stop touching me," Ye Shikai felt two restless hands stroking around his waist, making him feel like he was on the verge of succumbing. Firmly grabbing her hands, Ye Shikai was somewhat panicked; he had to think of a way out of this.

"Xin, I'm a bit thirsty. Could you pour me a glass of water?" In a moment of desperate cunning, Ye Shikai spoke to stabilize the situation first. As long as she got down from the sofa, he could make his escape.

"Okay."

Taking advantage of Chen Yuxin going to pour water, Ye Shikai quickly pulled out his phone and typed a message, then hit send.

"Here, drink up." Chen Yuxin handed him a glass of water, which Ye Shikai gulped down instantly.

"Ding-ling-ling." Suddenly, Ye Shikai's phone rang, but before he could answer, a jade-like hand swooped in from the side.

"Wang Kai, who's that?" Chen Yuxin, looking at the caller ID on Ye Shikai's phone, asked curiously.

"A good friend of mine, please give me the phone quickly, don't keep him waiting," Ye Shikai said with an anxious look, while Chen Yuxin seemed somewhat skeptical.

"Is it a man?"

"What a question, do you think Wang Kai sounds like a woman's name?" Ye Shikai said with an exasperated expression, not believing Chen Yuxin would ask such a thing.

"Give it to me quickly."

"Oh, okay." Chen Yuxin quickly handed the phone back to him.
