The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

"Wait a minute." Suddenly, Wang Qian called Wang Hu back. Initially, she had sent the Wang Family's Second Elder, Ma Ang, but he couldn't do anything to Ye Shikai. Now, having Wang Hu lead a group of gunmen to kill Ye Shikai seemed even less likely to succeed. Ye Shikai seemed to have a lucky halo; no matter how daring Wang Qian's gambles were, he always managed to survive against the odds. If she only let Wang Hu attack Ye Shikai, it might not just fail to harm him but could also provoke retaliation.

"Miss, do you have any further instructions?" Wang Hu quickly returned, seeing Wang Qian's hesitation, feeling a surge of curiosity.

"Forget it, go ahead, but make sure you're prepared," Wang Qian thought for a moment, then said lightly.

"Yes, Miss."

After Wang Hu left, Wang Qian sat alone on the sofa, seemingly deep in thought. She wanted to become the future heir of the Wang Family, so she needed assets in her hands. To rise to a high position, many obstacles lay before her, especially in such a large family like the Wang Family. She indeed had the capability, but unfortunately, as a woman, being high up could attract criticism. Thus, she must remove the obstacles in her path.

"Elder Ma." Wang Qian called out lightly.

"Miss, you called for me." A middle-aged man walked in slowly from outside the door; upon closer inspection, it was none other than Ma Ang, the Second Elder of the Wang Family.

"Elder Ma, how is your power now?" Wang Qian asked directly. Treating a large family as a microcosm of a royal court, the family scions were all "heirs to the throne," and the cultivators within the family were akin to retainers and aides of various "princes." They were the family's hidden strength, loyal to their respective masters.

As the Second Elder of the Wang Family, Ma Ang was one of Wang Qian's trusted confidants. Unlike ancient feudal dynasties, modern large families allowed women to become heirs, like Chen Yuxin; however, due to long-standing views, it was much harder for women to become family Sect Leaders.

"Mid-stage Soul Emergence, I recently had a breakthrough." Ma Ang said lightly. With the Wang Family's superior cultivation resources, Ma Ang's cultivation speed was already incredibly fast; many cultivators at most reached Nascent Soul without progressing further.

"Very well." Wang Qian nodded.

"Miss, is there something you need me to do?"

"Yes, help me with something over the next few days." Wang Qian waved her hand, as Ma Ang leaned in, Wang Qian whispered a few words in his ear.

.......................................…

No speaking, no speaking; apart from the sound from the TV in the living room and the clattering from the kitchen, the entire house was deathly silent.

Ye Shikai sat on the sofa in the living room, "focused" on watching TV, while Su Qingyu was in the kitchen making dinner, in a quiet afternoon before the storm, the cold war between them from the morning had not yet resolved.

Su Qingyu was a proud woman; it didn't seem easy to make her apologize. However, Ye Shikai also thought of himself as principled, defending the "dominant position" at home, so how could he apologize first, especially when he didn't even know what he did wrong...

Perhaps he should apologize; harmony brings prosperity.

No, no way, after all, he's the "head of the family," how could he apologize so easily, where would Ye's dignity go?

He decided he couldn't lower his stance this time; he couldn't just indulge her, even if he was a "good man" who spoiled his wife, he still needed principles.

Ye Shikai suddenly stood up; the incident from the morning needed addressing. He should go find her and talk.

"Dinner's ready."

"Okay, I'm coming."

Handsome for less than three seconds...

Su Qingyu had always cooked well, but today, she made a bento, and this bento seemed a bit fishy...

Opening the bento, Ye Shikai looked at the empty box and felt his heart collapse.

"What the hell." Ye Shikai stood up abruptly, staring at the delicious bento in front of Su Qingyu, what... was this.

"What's going on here." Ye Shikai was quite unhappy; any man facing this would probably be a bit angry.

"I asked you to come have dinner; I didn't say I cooked for you." Su Qingyu said coolly, picking up the delicacy with her chopsticks and chewing it.

No wonder Su Qingyu made bento today; she didn't plan on letting him have dinner.

"Qingyu, you're too much." Ye Shikai still didn't lose his temper; it was clear Su Qingyu was sulking with him. The cold war wasn't good for their relationship, but what couple doesn't argue...

"Why, don't you think you're great? Why should I cook for you?" Su Qingyu turned her head coldly.

"I think I'm great, but I still need to eat."

"Qingyu, you're still mad, right." Ye Shikai felt dejected, seeing no reaction from Su Qingyu, only able to sigh bitterly. This woman was really hard to appease.

"You're just trying to get me to find a job, have something to keep busy with, right? I'll go look, will that do?" Eventually, Ye Shikai was the one to back down first. Su Qingyu's intention was good, just not suited to the situation. If there weren't Boss Xing, weren't Zeus, Ye Shikai wouldn't mind going back to being a white-collar worker at the company.

Su Qingyu lowered her head, eating without speaking.

"Ugh." Ye Shikai sighed, stood up slowly, and walked to the door. Without food at home, he couldn't stay hungry.

....................................

"Haven't had street food in a while." Ye Shikai looked at the table full of food and started eating greedily.

"Yo, you're devouring like a starving ghost reincarnated, dinner just ended not long ago." Luo Shiqi sat across, having been called out by Ye Shikai via phone after returning home.

"Eh, the one at home didn't cook, so of course I went out." Ye Shikai said with some complaint while eating the delicious food.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to have a day like this." Luo Shiqi laughed heartily.

"You're still in a cold war, huh." Luo Shiqi asked.

"Ugh, you women are truly complicated creatures." Ye Shikai said while chewing a piece of beef.

"If you think the one at home is no good, you can come to me." Luo Shiqi gently brushed her hair, striking a "very attractive" pose, especially alluring to men...

The red flag at home stays upright, while colored flags flutter outside.

Luo Shiqi's seductive figure could captivate ninety-nine percent of married men and a hundred percent of single men, but Ye Shikai still managed to hold himself back.

"No thanks, if Qingyu finds out, it wouldn't just be a cold war."
