The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 240 - 240 240 Confidence and Letting Go

240: Chapter 240: Confidence and Letting Go 240: Chapter 240: Confidence and Letting Go Ye Shikai returned home and unexpectedly found Su Qingyu and Su Ziqing sitting on the sofa watching TV.

The tea on the table had gone cold, seemingly untouched; they had been waiting for Ye Shikai to come back.

“Eh, how come you two haven’t gone to bed yet?” Ye Shikai said, glancing at his watch.

It was almost eleven o’clock.

He was delayed for several hours because he had gone to the boxing club.

“Brother-in-law, you actually went to Luo Shiqi.

Is that what you call an ‘urgent matter’?” The two sisters were like conducting a trial of him.

“How did you know?

Were you there too?”

“Of course I was…” Su Ziqing began, but stopped abruptly, unable to go on.

Su Qingyu had repeatedly forbidden her from going to bars, and now she had accidentally let it slip.

“Qingqing, didn’t I tell you not to go there?” Su Qingyu’s expression turned cold.

The two sisters had completely different styles: Su Ziqing was fashionable, liked to hang out in bars and KTVs, while Su Qingyu was an ‘iceberg CEO’.

Aside from some social dinners, she led a simple life of going from point A to point B, of course, that was the routine before Ye Shikai had come into her life.

Hence, Su Qingyu had always detested places like bars.

“Sis, I’m grown up now.

Besides, Yaoyao was there, whose dad is a gangster that no petty ruffian dares to offend,” Su Ziqing said indignantly.

However, at a glare from Su Qingyu, she immediately caved in.

“Besides, even if it was wrong for me to go, was it right for you, brother-in-law, to secretly meet Luo Shiqi without telling us?” Su Ziqing turned her sharp words towards Ye Shikai again.

Although deep down she really liked her brother-in-law, she also disliked it when other women approached Ye Shikai, and Luo Shiqi was a formidable rival.

“I did go to see her, because upon my return to Huaxia, I had not yet informed her of my safe arrival.

Am I not allowed to do that?” Ye Shikai said sternly.

He rarely spoke to Su Ziqing so aggressively, but on this matter, he felt his privacy was being invaded.

Putting aside Luo Shiqi’s affection for him, they were also very close friends.

Wasn’t Ye Shikai allowed to let a friend know he was safe?

Moreover, Ye Shikai’s initial intention was simply to check on Luo Shiqi, but Su Ziqing’s words painted him like a cheating husband seeking an affair.

This was not Ye Shikai’s fault, nor Luo Shiqi’s, and certainly not Su Qingyu’s.

It was just destiny that while Ye Shikai and Su Qingyu were married, he also encountered Luo Shiqi.

“Qingqing, you go upstairs first,” Su Qingyu told Su Ziqing to go up first, the latter already sounded on the verge of tears.

There was a long silence.

“I’m sorry, I got a bit agitated just now.” Ye Shikai took a sip of cold water to calm down.

Su Qingyu was his wife, and it was normal for her to be displeased with the ambiguity between him and Luo Shiqi.

Ye Shikai had always been controlling his feelings for Luo Shiqi.

If he were the kind of man who let his lower half do his thinking, he would have probably taken advantage of her already.

Su Qingyu was not that agitated.

Emotional issues couldn’t be resolved with temper.

She poured a cup of hot tea for Ye Shikai.

“Actually, when I found out about your identity, I did think that you would never be confined to just me,” Su Qingyu said lightly.

“Qingyu, it’s not like that.”

“Remember how my dad kept telling me that your identity was very mysterious?

I used to think he was just comforting me.” Su Qingyu took a sip of her hot tea.

“Thinking back now, it’s ironic.

Turns out I’ve always been a frog at the bottom of the well.”

“It’s my fault; I’ve always kept it from you,” Ye Shikai said, feeling somewhat guilty.

“I understand your intentions; you didn’t want to drag me into those matters,” Su Qingyu stroked Ye Shikai’s cheek, feeling the warmth.

“You’re a remarkable man.

There are some aspects I can’t help you with, but they can.

Miss Ji can help you consolidate your foreign influence, Anna is British royalty with political clout, and as for Luo Shiqi, her standing in Yanjing far surpasses mine.

She can help you in every way, and then there’s…”

“Enough, Qingyu.

Don’t go on,” Su Qingyu said more, the guiltier Ye Shikai felt.

He had incurred these emotional debts, and now Su Qingyu had to pay them back with him.

“As long as I still have a place in your heart, that’s enough for me.” Su Qingyu’s lips were close to Ye Shikai’s ear as she spoke softly.

Having a place in his heart is enough, this brief sentence was like a hammer smashing heavily into Ye Shikai’s heart, disrupting his inner peace for a long time.

“I, Su Qingyu, have always been proud, and I’m no different when it comes to feelings.

If I weren’t confident that I can retain your heart, what right would I have to demand that you cut ties with them?” Su Qingyu revealed a confident smile, “Since I can accept Miss Ji, why should I be jealous of Luo Shiqi?”

Ye Shikai was stunned.

If anyone’s wife had such a generous heart, it would have to be Su Qingyu.

“Does that mean I can…” A glimmer of desire appeared in Ye Shikai’s eyes.

“Don’t even think about it.” Su Qingyu outright rejected him, “You’re pushing your luck.

I’ll have you know, I come armed with certification; let’s see who dares to shake this status.” Su Qingyu triumphantly pulled out a marriage certificate from behind and waved it in front of him.

Ye Shikai was exasperated.

Why do you carry your marriage certificate with you everywhere?

Huaxia traditions emphasize legitimacy and propriety; Su Qingyu could carry on like this, all thanks to Su Pengzhan, after all.

“Wife, isn’t this playing hard to get?

You say you don’t mind my relationships with them, yet you wield that red book like the Imperial Sword,” Ye Shikai couldn’t help but tease.

The next second, regret hit him.

He felt a chilling sensation on his back; Su Qingyu’s cold gaze swept over him sharply as if it could slice him to pieces.

“Oh, so you actually dared to go.” Su Qingyu, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, bristled instantly.

Her fair leg shot out, striking directly at his chest.

Ye Shikai endured the pain, collapsing to the ground, which was the exact spot the Big Demon King had hit.

Who would have thought that when Su Qingyu lost it, she really lost all sense of measure.

“Are you okay?” Ye Shikai was writhing in pain on the ground, and Su Qingyu instantly panicked, bending down to check his condition quickly.

“Is it here?” Su Qingyu pointed to Ye Shikai’s chest.

“Yeah, it hurts.” Ye Shikai grimaced, clutching his chest tightly, as though having a heart attack.

“Let me rub it for you.” Feeling the gentle touch of her soft hand moving across his chest, Ye Shikai couldn’t help feeling warm, his face also revealing an expression of sheer pleasure.

“Great, you’re playing dead.” Once Su Qingyu realized she’d been duped, she hit his chest frustratedly and embarrassedly.

Ye Shikai suddenly grabbed Su Qingyu’s hands with both of his and sat up.

Their lips met.

The living room was filled with romance…
