Chapter 862: Conflict Arises Again
Su Qingyu truly dares to ask for the stars, directly demanding a billion from Ye Shikai. After all, she's his own wife. Even if she wanted stars from the heavens, Ye Shikai would figure out a way to get them for her. The most awkward part was when Su Qingyu asked why there's still a billion when she had already 'taken charge' of the small treasury last time. Ye Shikai was helpless, at least casually saying it's dividends from other business shares.
Although Ghost is his confidant, Ye Shikai recently discovered that Su Qingyu seems to have taken an 'interest' in the assets of the Netherworld Palace, frequently probing about them. When Ghost saw it was Su Qingyu asking, he didn't hold back and revealed all...
Ye Shikai could feel the expression on Su Qingyu's face, looking like she was about to devour someone, when she learned about the total assets of the Netherworld Palace.
It's like a wife discovering her husband secretly kept a 'big asset' behind her back. Come on, those assets were there all along...
Speaking of which, when he married Su Qingyu, Su Pengzhan didn't seem to have mentioned anything about 'bride price'. This was quite enlightened, considering in Huaxia, countless men are barred from the marriage hall due to the 'bride price'. Su Pengzhan didn't say to give it, but Ye Shikai couldn't bear this sentiment. This money can be considered as catching up on the bride price.
"Right, there's something I want to tell you." The two were lying in bed, Su Qingyu suddenly turned over, facing Ye Shikai seriously.
"Go ahead, I'm listening." Ye Shikai was still somewhat sleepy. Last night, the two were like strangers reuniting, indulging themselves until Ye Shikai felt drained in the morning.
"You don't have much to do in Yanjing usually. Haven't you ever thought of finding something to do?" Su Qingyu seemed a bit hesitant. Ye Shikai, dazed, simply responded with "Mm," "Ah," "Oh."
"Wake up." Su Qingyu lightly slapped Ye Shikai, finally breaking his drowsiness.
"What are you doing?" Ye Shikai was somewhat displeased. It's hard to sleep on weekends, especially since there's Tianjing looking out at the infected, he rarely gets a chance to rest.
"I mean, do you plan to do something else?" Su Qingyu sat up, holding down Ye Shikai's shoulders, forcing him to face her.
"I'm not going as a coach anymore?" Ye Shikai rubbed his eyes, muttering.
"You, as a coach, can come and go as you please, and even when you do go, it's only for a few days." Su Qingyu rolled her eyes. Indeed, this is considered one of Yan Kuan's privileges to Ye Shikai, after all, he's married now. He couldn't always stay in the army, and the coach's position is separate from the formal member establishment, so he doesn't have to abide by the Dragon Teeth Special Operation Team's rules unless there are special circumstances.
"With Ouyang Feng there, training those guys is more than sufficient." Ye Shikai laughed awkwardly.
"I'm serious, listen carefully." Su Qingyu gritted her teeth, seeing Ye Shikai's lack of progress, inevitably made her a bit angry.
"Alright, I know. I've been busy with the case these days, so don't cause me trouble. I'll find something to do later." Ye Shikai lay on the bed again, dismissively murmuring.
"You... fine, just you wait." Su Qingyu, seeing this, was furious, kicked him up, and angrily got up, taking a cup of ice water from the table, then splashed it directly on Ye Shikai's face.
Chilling to the core...
"Damn." Ye Shikai was shocked awake, his face full of ice water, really didn't expect that Su Qingyu actually splashed him.
"Can you listen carefully now?" Su Qingyu lay back down, her eyes full of resentment.
"Alright, fine, I surrender. Go ahead." Ye Shikai was helpless. It seemed that unless he listened to Su Qingyu, he couldn't keep sleeping.
"An Lan and I talked, and suggested that you do something." Su Qingyu said coldly.
"Can I refuse?" Ye Shikai turned away. Frankly, he really seems unsuitable for those regular jobs. As he knows, there isn't cultivator who would truly sit on an office chair and become a white-collar worker earning a few thousand each month, buried in the metropolis.
Even being a bodyguard earns more than this...
"You dare." Seeing Ye Shikai being difficult, Su Qingyu resolutely said, the more this attitude prevailed, the more determined she became to find something for Ye Shikai to do.
"Honestly, you should at least respect me."
"Does it mean that if you lie in bed all day doing nothing, I should agree?" Su Qingyu gritted her teeth and said firmly.
"Then what do you want me to do?" Ye Shikai's fire energy also started to rise. Early in the morning, Su Qingyu seemed to have taken gunpowder, her fire energy so strong she even splashed ice water.
"I just want you to find something to do, and then live well." Su Qingyu saw this, understood Ye Shikai was somewhat upset, but still spoke.
"Aren't we living well now?" Ye Shikai countered, "Is it because of last time's incident that scared you?"
"I've said, I wasn't." Su Qingyu turned away. The Mothman incident, although it frightened her, she didn't keep it on her mind.
"If you're afraid of being with me bringing danger, well, I don't mind if you temporarily 'leave'." Ye Shikai misinterpreted Su Qingyu's thoughts. If Su Qingyu was scared of the 'Netherworld Empress' position bringing danger to her and Tianya Group, he wouldn't insist, even if it meant divorce, he wouldn't hold any grudge.
"What do you mean by this?" Su Qingyu's expression became uglier hearing this, full of grievance.
"I've been exhausted these days. If you don't have urgent matters, don't bother me." Ye Shikai was very annoyed now, said it, and just lay down to continue sleeping.
"You..." Su Qingyu was angered, stood up, stomping her feet furiously. Already troubled by Ye Shikai's attitude, now being said this, the negative emotions inside burst directly, so she didn't care about him, washed up and left.
Lunch time.
"Seeing your expression, it's obvious you fought with Qingyu." In a high-end western restaurant, Ye Shikai was having lunch with Luo Shiqi. After this morning's frustration, he didn't want to apologize. Su Qingyu felt aggrieved, but Ye Shikai himself felt aggrieved too. He spent so much effort on solving the case, and what did he get? Yet after coming home, he still wasn't understood by his wife.
"Shiqi, you're mocking me again." Ye Shikai's steak was cut into many small pieces before him. He wasn't very hungry, only drinking red wine.
"Hmph, I'm not your outlet for venting. You argued with Qingyu, why come to me?" Luo Shiqi complained charmingly.
