The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

"You ventured into the Underworld to grow your power and avenge your father, while I'm here to avenge my brothers and... investigate the whole incident thoroughly." Ye Shikai confided in Dongfang Lian, and it seemed like they were comrades in misfortune. The operation that severely damaged the Dragon Teeth special forces years ago remained a barrier for Ye Shikai. Initially, he intended to leverage the Netherworld Palace's influence to investigate this matter, but after three or four years, there was still no news.

"Is that so? I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. So, you're not fighting for the Netherworld King's throne."

"Holding a high position naturally comes with pains hard for ordinary people to understand. Everyone believes those in power hold life and death authority, fighting fiercely for this position, unaware that they will regret it once they truly sit there." Ye Shikai lamented, realizing few could empathize since they hadn't reached such heights.

Fortunately, Ye Shikai had a loyal group of followers, serving as his strong backing, people he could rely on when facing danger.

"Fine, I know you're impressive." Dongfang Lian rolled her eyes, "To be honest, if this wasn't meticulously planned, I wouldn't be confident that I could make you submit."

"If I guessed right, you weren't chosen by the school for your camping experience. Rather, you volunteered to be the leader for the camping activity, didn't you?" If everything was planned, Dongfang Lian would have done her utmost to become the leading teacher; otherwise, it would all be wasted.

"That's not it. It was a tough job, and no teacher wanted to take it. I casually offered, and my superiors decided it would be me."

"Alright, but you nearly killed me this time. I didn't expect your skills to be so good." Ye Shikai, though sympathetic to Dongfang Lian, was terrified and even disgusted by the incident. Su Ziqing's fate was uncertain, causing him immense inner turmoil, let alone Dongfang Lian nearly ending him with a knife. It was life-threatening.

"By the way, if I hadn't uncovered you, where were you planning to take us?" Ye Shikai suddenly asked out of curiosity. Dongfang Lian's expression shifted, revealing a sly smile as she leaned to whisper in Ye Shikai's ear.

"Of course, to your grave."

This woman was truly vicious.

Ye Shikai unintentionally glanced at Dongfang Lian's desk; some bold words on a document caught his eye.

Voluntary transfer from class advisor position.

Previously, Dongfang Lian was the advisor for Han Ruoyao and Su Ziqing's class. Although advisors didn't meet students frequently in university, class leaders were different; advisors depended on them for information transmission. Dongfang Lian probably intended to avoid contact with Su Ziqing, given that such events occurred between them. It's unlikely they'd peacefully chat.

"You're not a class advisor anymore."

"No problem, it's just a position. I can reduce some stress." Dongfang Lian said blandly, "Being an advisor is quite tiring."

"Alright, I noticed Qingqing has changed a lot, perhaps since you seldom meet." Ye Shikai nodded.

"By the way, what do you plan to do if you one day get your revenge?"

"What else can I do? I'll continue teaching, of course." Dongfang Lian organized her documents, seemingly more suited to her bookish identity.

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

At home.

Before entering, Ye Shikai felt apprehensive. Su Qingyu had repeatedly reminded him to take good care of Su Ziqing before the camping trip, ensuring no harm came to her. Yet, both had narrowly escaped disaster.

Though due to Dongfang Lian, ultimately, it was still Ye Shikai's responsibility. Su Ziqing was blameless.

He braced himself and pushed the door open. As expected, a chill swept over him.

Su Qingyu glanced coldly at Ye Shikai, her gaze sharp and icy, sending shivers down his spine. What choice did he have against his wife's reckoning?

"Qingyu, don't be angry; let me explain." Ye Shikai hurried to the sofa, choosing not to beat around the bush and directly apologized. Su Qingyu was already aware of their camping hills ordeal since last night—her dark eye circles a sign of sleeplessness.

"Humph, you still dare come back." Su Qingyu retorted harshly, preparing to leave the sofa but was gripped by Ye Shikai.

"Qingyu, I bear responsibility for this matter, but I... I didn't know beforehand."

"Fine, fine. Qingqing already explained to me." Su Qingyu gestured dismissively, "It's a good thing you and Qingqing weren't harmed. Otherwise, what was I to do?"

"Haha, no way. Your husband always turns misfortune into fortune." Ye Shikai sensed change, finally relaxing as his efforts in soothing Ji Qian were not in vain—thankfully, his wife wasn't being unreasonable.

"See if you dare venture out and mess around again."

"I won't go out, absolutely won't."

"Swear it."

"I swear, if I ever take Qingqing out again for fun, I'll eat my words." Ye Shikai raised his palm, pointing at the ceiling.

"That's more like it. Let's leave this matter behind and never bring it up again." Su Qingyu nodded in satisfaction, "By the way, is that teacher Dongfang Lian still teaching at the university?"

"Yes, I've already discussed it with her." Ye Shikai recounted everything, yet Su Qingyu seemed uneasy, possibly fearing Dongfang Lian might endanger Su Ziqing again—considering the two resumed attending classes together today, there was cause for concern.

It seemed Dongfang Lian was a worry not just for Ji Qian, but also for Su Qingyu.

"If that's the case, alright. I don't care about others; I only want Qingqing's safety assured."

"Rest assured, she's my sister-in-law. I've already arranged for close protection and informed Yaoyao to keep an eye on Qingqing."

"By the way, dear, there's something I need to tell you." Just then, Su Qingyu lowered her voice, its alluring tone lingering near Ye Shikai's ear. Cough, cough, after half a year, Ye Shikai knew this side of his wife well; such a tone usually suggested trouble.

"Cough, cough, go ahead. I'll agree." What choice did he have, being at fault? He had to let Su Qingyu take some advantage now.

"The company is hosting a shareholder meeting and a banquet. Please accompany me." Su Qingyu smiled faintly.
