The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

Ye Shikai pretended to leave, stood up, but found Ji Qian turning her back to him, seemingly upset.

"Alright, why start throwing a tantrum now?" Ye Shikai smiled and hugged Ji Qian's slender waist from behind. Since he came, it was natural to celebrate with her, no reason to leave first. This time had been hard on Ji Qian, and they hadn't even chatted properly.

"By the way, here's my gift for you." Ye Shikai took out a black box from his backpack.

"What's this?" Ji Qian said lightly, but there was a hint of anticipation in her voice. It was clear she was very much looking forward to Ye Shikai spending her birthday with her; beneath her cool demeanor, there was still a girlish side. Ye Shikai's arrival pleasantly surprised her.

"You'll know once you open it." Ye Shikai said mysteriously, and upon opening, it was a light cyan jade bracelet, transparent and bright, clearly a treasure.

"Honestly, I didn't know what gift to give you. Whatever I could give, you already have. This gift, I got from an old friend." Ye Shikai said somewhat helplessly. Ji Qian wasn't just the owner of the Moon God Temple but also a famous businesswoman in Europe. Nothing she couldn't get. This jade bracelet might be a luxury item to common people, but for Ji Qian, it's just a jade ring.

"Your presence is the best gift." Ji Qian smiled lightly, carefully taking out the jade bracelet, putting it on. The bluish-green bracelet contrasted with her fair arm, giving off a simple and elegant feminine feel.

"I'm sorry for not being able to spend more time with you," Ye Shikai said with a bitter smile.

"You have your matters to attend to, I can understand that."

"Well, it's still early now, let's have dinner later." Seeing Ji Qian not blaming him made Ye Shikai feel a bit better. Even if he could only spend half a day with her, it should be the most wonderful "half a day."

"Oh, wait a second." At this time, Ji Qian suddenly gestured for Ye Shikai to stop, then quickly walked into the house, and came back out a minute later.

"This is for you." Ji Qian opened her hands, and a ball of energy emitting a blue glow floated above her palms. Ye Shikai recognized it immediately, it was the Water Element.

Since coming out of Atlantis last time, the Water Element had been with Ji Qian. The Air Element and the Earth Element were with Wang Kai and Athena respectively, and the Fire Element he kept himself.

"This... no, it's too precious." Even with their close relationship, Ye Shikai was still shocked. This was a supreme treasure that even the Twelve Main Gods dreamed of. It could be said that no one in the world wouldn't want it.

"Take it; the Four Elements can suppress the energy of Demon Addiction in you, and the second persona... hasn't shown up again, right?" Ji Qian said lightly.

"It hasn't lately, and without encountering a demon exorcist, I don't even need to use inner strength." Ye Shikai shook his head repeatedly.

"But still, be cautious."

"I understand," Ye Shikai nodded. Ji Qian smiled slightly and handed over the Water Element.

"This... I still don't think it's necessary, keeping it with you for emergencies might be better." Ye Shikai was still somewhat hesitant.

"Without you, how could I have gotten the supreme treasure?" Ji Qian whispered softly in Ye Shikai's ear.

"Alright, enough said, just take it."

Yanjing, Tianya Group.

"Achoo." Su Qingyu pulled out a tissue, showing slight fatigue on her face.

"Qingyu, have you caught a cold?" At this moment, An Lan gently pushed open the office door, bringing a cup of hot coffee, "Here, have some coffee."

"Thank you, Lanlan."

"No need to be polite," An Lan said with a smile, sitting on the sofa, "By the way, what's he up to now, always so busy like he's got no time at all."

"He's helping the National Security Bureau with an investigation."

"Is that so? Needing to investigate cases all the way to Europe?" An Lan changed the topic, and the pen in Su Qingyu's hand paused suddenly.

"He told me he had something to do in Europe, and he'll be back in the evening." Su Qingyu continued without looking up.

"Really, Qingyu, you can't just let him off so easily." An Lan's implied meaning was clear to Su Qingyu, and she might even think the same. An Lan didn't know Ji Qian, but Su Qingyu was well aware that Ji Qian was in Europe, and Ye Shikai's sudden trip to Europe probably had something to do with Ji Qian.

However, Su Qingyu didn't know Ye Shikai was there to celebrate her birthday, so she didn't say much. She still hoped to give Ye Shikai some space.

"Recently, a friend of mine got divorced because her husband had someone else outside, and after five years of marriage, they separated." An Lan continued, attempting to warn Su Qingyu, not because she distrusted Ye Shikai, but the temptation of the outside world is irresistible, and who knows what could happen. Moreover, if a marriage can't be managed, it's as good as non-existent.

"An Lan, you don't need to worry so much. I trust him, he truly has difficulties." Su Qingyu comforted An Lan and also herself, or rather, she was deceiving herself.

"Alright then, think what you want. In any case, be cautious." Seeing Su Qingyu unyielding, An Lan felt a bit helpless.

"By the way, Qingyu, have you heard any news about the demon exorcist recently?" An Lan suddenly asked.

"Yes, I know." Su Qingyu nodded. Not only was she aware of it, but she also knew that the person in charge of the case was Ye Shikai.

"I heard he's killed several people; you should be careful."

"Of course." Su Qingyu wasn't worried, with Ailina responsible for her safety, she felt very assured.

"President, Mr. An, here is the information submitted from downstairs." Just thinking of Ailina, she happened to walk in. With her tall build typical of European women, a straight nose, and attractive features, she was eye-catching when she joined the company. Later, Su Qingyu found out that Ailina was sent by Ye Shikai to ensure her safety.

"Alright, Qingyu, I'll head back to my department. Don't forget what I said." An Lan took the document and said lightly.

"Okay, you go ahead."

"President, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving too." After An Lan left, Ailina also planned to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Su Qingyu.

"Wait a moment."

"President, do you need something?"

"Ailina, do you know what he's doing in Europe?"
