The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

"Qingyu, this matter is her secret. Let's not probe into it anymore. Perhaps she just doesn't like the atmosphere of the family," Ye Shikai knew that families like the Ji Family were like walking on thin ice, a slight misstep could lead to a profound abyss; it was as if a single touch could contaminate you, enveloping even those as clean as a blank sheet of paper.

Chen Yuxin's face once again surfaced in Ye Shikai's mind—wasn't she a living example? How innocent she was eight years ago, blushing for a long time even after telling a slightly risqué joke. But now, she had become a familiar stranger to Ye Shikai.

"Hey, hey, what's going on with you?" Lost in thought, Ye Shikai recalled the times when they were in school. He was so distracted that he only came back to himself after Su Qingyu called his name three times.

"Oh, it's nothing." Ye Shikai turned his head away, only to realize that his eyes had moistened. Perhaps this was why first loves struggle to last a lifetime. Only when both parties are unburdened can they have such open-mindedness to dream wildly. But after experiencing so much, they start to walk in different directions, drifting further apart...

Initially, Chen Yuxin's sudden departure had indeed had a significant impact on Ye Shikai. Although partly due to his father's wishes, her departure was also an objective reason for his enlistment in the military. Even if Chen Yuxin hadn't left and they were still together now, Ye Shikai would have truly been living off her.

Would he have been happy then, even with his loved one, to watch her bear troubles alone? Thinking of this, Ye Shikai began to understand Su Qingyu's desire to cultivate.

Ye Shikai stole a glance at Su Qingyu. A Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill was exceedingly rare, but it wasn't true that it was impossible to obtain. In fact, Ji Qian had one—it was found in a relic. But Ye Shikai would not tell Su Qingyu that.

"Boss, welcome back." Upon arriving at the airport, Ye Shikai was greeted by... Ghost, with eyes darkened by fatigue.

It wasn't just darkened eyes; they were deep dark circles, as if they were deliberately made up. Su Qingyu was directly startled by the sight.

"Ghost, how many days have you not slept?" Ye Shikai inquired.

"I've been investigating non-stop recently; there wasn't much time for rest," Ghost said indifferently, waving his hand for the Hidden Guards to take their luggage.

"Boss Xing has surfaced again?" Ye Shikai curiously asked in the car.

"Yes, this period, we've discovered several research outposts of Boss Xing's and have secretly reported them to the police," Ghost continued as his gaze suddenly turned dim, "But when the police arrived, the places were already emptied."

"They moved so quickly," Ye Shikai was astounded. From collecting intelligence to the police taking action, at most, it was only four hours. Yet, a secret base had been completely wiped clean in such a short time—it seemed impossible. More importantly, how did they know the base had been exposed...

"Boss, I suspect there's an internal traitor among us." Ghost pulled out his phone and sent a message to Ye Shikai. Ghost wouldn't mention such a topic in front of Su Qingyu, but the matter was severe, and Ghost didn't dare to broadcast it loudly.

"Handle this matter immediately, and keep it low-key," Ye Shikai replied with a grave expression via text.

"What's wrong? Is there something bothering you?" Su Qingyu keenly detected something amiss with Ye Shikai, thinking it was the pain acting up again, and quickly leaned closer.

"Oh, no, it's nothing, just a spam message," Ye Shikai evasively replied, putting his phone away.

"Qingyu, let's go home first. It's been a month, and I think Qingqing has had enough of her 'good days'," Ye Shikai said with a teasing smile.

"Qingqing is now under Dad's watch, you might not know this, but actually, Yaoyao is still Dad's little undercover agent," Su Qingyu whispered in Ye Shikai's ear.

"Dad even has this trick up his sleeve," Ye Shikai exclaimed, "So, Dad has always been aware of Qingqing's actions."

"Just look at what Dad used to do for a living, surveillance is just a basic skill for him," Su Qingyu said with a smile.

"Poor kid."

Ye Shikai thought the house must have been a mess, probably even had a party last night, and been left in total disarray.

"It's so quiet." When the two of them arrived home, they were shocked by the sight before them. Everything was neat and clean, even better than when they left, without a trace of the mess they had imagined. Could Su Ziqing have "turned over a new leaf"?

Bang.

Suddenly, a loud pop sounded above their heads.

"Surprise, brother-in-law, sis, happy honeymoon!" All of a sudden, Su Ziqing came out with streamer poppers and said loudly near their ears.

"Qingqing, didn't you go to school?" Su Qingyu was startled and flicked Su Ziqing's forehead lightly.

"There's no school today, so I came back. I heard you guys were coming back today, of course, I had to welcome you," Su Ziqing said, and then went to the back, opened their suitcases very naturally, and started rummaging, "Eh, where's my gift? Is it underneath?"

"What gift?" Ye Shikai and Su Qingyu exchanged a glance and laughed.

"Ah, what, you guys really didn't buy me a gift?" Su Ziqing's expression went from expectant to that of a wronged woman in an instant, as if she had been deceived by the entire world...

"Ha ha."

"You're laughing at what, hmph." Su Ziqing saw the two of them exchange smiles, felt depressed but also a bit curious.

"Qingqing, look at this." Ye Shikai produced a box as if by magic, but really he had just previously placed the box in the Storage Ring and then took it out in an instant, like a perfect magic trick.

"Eh, what's this?"

"Just open it and you'll know," said Ye Shikai with a mysterious smile. Su Ziqing slowly opened the box, and a beautiful diamond necklace lay inside.

"Wow." Su Ziqing was initially stunned, then she cheered loudly.

"It's so beautiful." Su Ziqing eagerly took out the necklace and put it on her neck. The diamond was a full five carats with very high clarity. It was a gift from Bonarson before they left, and Ye Shikai had it processed into this exquisite diamond necklace.

"Brother-in-law, I love you to death." Su Ziqing blurted out, then suddenly realizing that Su Qingyu was present, her pretty face turned red, full of embarrassment.
