The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

The pair of military rank epaulettes seemed incredibly heavy with honor to Ye Shikai, and he could not bear to discard them. They symbolized recognition of his capabilities. Before getting married, Ye Shikai would have worn this uniform without hesitation, but now the situation was different. He was the Netherworld King, the leader of the Netherworld Palace, and also the husband of Su Qingyu. Every decision had to be carefully considered, and he could not just agree impulsively.

"Ye, you are my most valued subordinate, and I believe that deep down, you are willing," Yan Kuan handed the neatly pressed uniform to Ye Shikai, noticing his hesitation. Yan Kuan understood, after all, this was no minor matter.

"I've kept this uniform for you for so many years. No matter your decision, please keep it," said Yan Kuan earnestly, then patted Ye Shikai's shoulder, "Take your time to think it over."

"Old chief, give me some time to think about it," Ye Shikai sighed deeply and spoke faintly, feeling the uniform in his hands getting heavier.

Ye Shikai walked across the training ground with the uniform, the vast base all crafted to forge this "sharp blade." Ye Shikai pondered; it was time to think, but the first dilemma was the identity of Netherworld King. According to what Luo Shiqi had said, the National Security Bureau most likely knew his identity, so Yan Kuan would have no reason not to know either. If so, why would he still invite him to be an instructor? Even if Yan Kuan trusted Ye Shikai's loyalty, what about the National Security Bureau? They needed absolute security, no potential risks were allowed.

But one thing was undeniable; Ye Shikai was the person most valued by Yan Kuan. If not for the accident, Ye Shikai's military career would have been smooth sailing. So Yan Kuan's invitation for a "retraining" must have been due to some issue.

"Captain, how is it? I wasn't wrong, right? General Yan did ask you to be an instructor, right?" At that moment, Ouyang Feng approached from a distance.

"Yes, indeed."

"What's your decision then?" Seeing Ye Shikai's indecisive expression, Ouyang Feng immediately understood he had not decided yet and tentatively asked, "Or does your sister-in-law disagree?"

"I haven't asked yet, I need to discuss it at home first," Ye Shikai shook his head lightly and said flatly.

"Alright then, the base is far from the city center, I'll drive you home first," Ouyang Feng nodded and said.

"Mm."

.........…

Back home, Ye Shikai slowly changed into the uniform, adjusting it in front of the mirror, his unique temperament resonating with the military dress—determined, resolute. This uniform was not regular service attire but a combat uniform, so looking at the mirror reminded Ye Shikai of past operations.

Ye Shikai's military rank was high, and when he was promoted to Major at only twenty-one, it was considered a miracle to the ordinary people. However, as a captain of the Dragon Teeth special forces, this rank fitted well. Although he hadn't worn the uniform for four years, the moment he put it on, it felt familiar.

At that moment, the door to the room was opened, and the person who entered was Su Qingyu. Clearly, she was startled by Ye Shikai's attire, freezing in place and barely recognizing him at first glance. Ye Shikai in his military uniform looked imposing, and Su Qingyu also showed a knowing smile.

Historically, beauties fall for heroes, heroes love beauties, and likewise, beauties love heroes.

"Where did you get this from?" Su Qingyu came forward, inspecting carefully.

"I left it at the base when I retired. I went back today and the old chief had been keeping it for me," Ye Shikai said with a light smile, adjusting his collar and looking in the mirror.

"Not bad, quite handsome," Su Qingyu chuckled softly.

"Your husband has always been handsome," Ye Shikai teased, flicking Su Qingyu's nose, her previously smiling face suddenly changed.

"What did your old chief tell you?" Su Qingyu suddenly asked seriously.

"Nothing much, just talked about some things," Ye Shikai had a bad feeling and turned away, evasively speaking.

"No, you're definitely hiding something from me," Su Qingyu held Ye Shikai's head firmly and forced him to look at her, "What else did he say? Tell me."

"He asked me to become a military instructor," Ye Shikai admitted, unable to hide the truth.

"I disagree," Sure enough, Su Qingyu immediately objected coldly, "You can change jobs, but I don't agree with you going into the military."

"Qingyu, this instructor position doesn't require staying at the military base; I just need to train them during the day, and I'll be back home in the evenings," Ye Shikai tried to speak in a more neutral tone, knowing that Su Qingyu has always been opposed to him engaging in dangerous work. Su Pengzhan had mentioned that the military unit Ye Shikai was part of was very dangerous, so Su Qingyu was particularly sensitive to this.

"You didn't hear me," Su Qingyu said assertively, "I disagree."

"Qingyu, you're being really unreasonable," Ye Shikai didn't know what else to say, but he knew he definitely shouldn't argue with a woman, especially when she's angry.

"Unreasonable? You have the nerve to mention that, did you forget we are planning our wedding? Have you considered this family at all?" Su Qingyu was displeased. Previously, when Ye Shikai went to Atlantis, he nearly broke up with Su Qingyu, but at that time, it was to save Ji Qian, so Su Qingyu somewhat understood. But now, Ye Shikai's plan to return to the military seemed purely because of his personal desire, completely disregarding the family situation and her feelings, which made her so furious.

"Qingyu, let's be reasonable, how could you say I never considered our family," Ye Shikai retorted, clearly displeased as well.

"Fine, then answer me, is the military unit you want to join dangerous? Could people die?" Su Qingyu asked coldly.

"Qingyu…"

"Answer me, yes or no."

"Yes."

"Then can you guarantee you won't get hurt, can you or can't you?"

"Can't," Ye Shikai shook his head, admitting the truth.

"Ye Shikai, you're really being selfish," they were silent for a few seconds before Su Qingyu coldly threw out those words and turned around to sit at the vanity table.

"Qingyu, can you please stop being angry," Ye Shikai tried to control his emotions; he didn't want to get angry, his hands resting on Su Qingyu's shoulders, which she immediately pushed away.

"I'm not angry," Su Qingyu said coldly.

"Then let's not talk about this for now, how about we talk about the wedding instead?" Ye Shikai sighed, forcing a slight smile on his face.
