The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1096: Meaningless

"Received it." Ye Shikai gave a bitter smile, realizing that the truth often hurts. The voice message from Luo Shiqi was like a bucket of cold water, chilling him from head to toe on this otherwise perfect day. Now, his heart was in turmoil, unsure of where to go or what to do.

"Boss, let me help you restore your phone." Worm took Ye Shikai’s phone. He had no idea how Chen Yuxin had managed to block his calls; it was a hacker’s work for sure. No wonder he hadn’t received or been able to make any calls these past few days. Those contacts were probably blocked. However, Chen Yuxin hadn’t anticipated Wang Kai’s sudden arrival, overlooking this detail.

"Brother, this kind of woman is too vicious. You absolutely cannot marry her." Zi Yun shouted loudly.

"Alright, are you guys okay?"

"Brother, you’ve been too indulgent with that woman. This is kidnapping. If she had been a bit more ruthless, Worm and I could have been killed. Yet, you’re still standing up for her." Zi Yun was so angry she almost cried. Initially, she thought Ye Shikai would be furious and side with her, but he remained ambiguous, not leaning towards any side. After all, kidnapping was a big deal; Chen Yuxin said nothing, and Ye Shikai was naturally angry inside. But the situation was already set, and he couldn’t just abandon Chen Yuxin.

"Alright, be quiet for a moment." Ye Shikai rubbed his temples, feeling quite impatient. He already had enough on his mind, and Zi Yun was still chattering away beside him.

"You... hmph."

"Zhao Yanran, why are you here too?" Ye Shikai looked up and saw someone unexpected.

"It’s a long story. The information I gave you about the Mothman base last time came from her." Before Zhao Yanran could speak, Luo Shiqi quickly interjected.

"So that’s it."

Zhao Yanran stood on the side, her expression somewhat despondent. Tang Yun had just met with misfortune, and naturally, her mood was low. Tang Yun’s "last words" lingered in her mind, so much so that when Ye Shikai first called her, Zhao Yanran was lost in thought.

Should she tell him Tang Yun’s words? It was Tang Yun’s secret, and before she died, she had also expressed not to reveal the truth, worried it would affect Ye Shikai’s life. Zhao Yanran’s face was tense, looking very nervous. Unbeknownst to her, sweat had already beaded on her forehead.

It’s better to keep it to herself.

The words that were about to come out of her mouth were swallowed back by Zhao Yanran.

"Zhao Yanran, are you feeling unwell?" Ye Shikai sharply noticed her unusual state.

"Tang Yun just met with an accident; she’s not in a good mood." Luo Shiqi explained, and Ye Shikai nodded. In the past, when he let Tang Yun go in South America, he thought they’d never cross paths again. But hearing Luo Shiqi’s words, Ye Shikai’s heart skipped a beat, and sorrow was evident on his face.

"No wonder you could provide me with the information; turns out they were helping you." Ye Shikai said calmly, "Actually, back then, you could have told me. There was no need for secrecy. Although they had both harmed me and even caused Qingyu to fall into a coma, those things are in the past. I’m not one to hold grudges."

"They didn’t let me tell you." Luo Shiqi shook her head helplessly, "They were in danger at the time, so I kept them by my side."

"Tang Yun seemed to have feelings for you." Luo Shiqi changed the topic.

"I see it now. Love, for people like us, is rarer and more precious than power and money." Ye Shikai took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He had transformed from an unknown young man to the all-powerful Netherworld King. He had enjoyed wealth and splendor and witnessed life and death. But after experiencing so much, he saw things more clearly. Perhaps, for ordinary people, love is ’one house, two people, three meals, four seasons,’ but for him, it’s internal and external conflicts, overt and covert struggles.

"Chen Yuxin already has your child. Even if you’re in pain, you can’t change that fact." Luo Shiqi’s expression gradually turned serious.

"I will take responsibility. This is my fault." Ye Shikai sighed, "Shiqi, you should go back. This matter doesn’t concern you. I don’t want to drag you into it anymore."

"Are you worried Chen Yuxin will retaliate against me?" Luo Shiqi said calmly, "It was me who sent the voice message, turning what was supposed to be a beautiful wedding into such an awkward situation, or you could say, I ruined her plan."

"Knowing her nature, she definitely won’t let it rest. But you can rest assured, she can’t touch me in Yanjing." Luo Shiqi smiled confidently. Moreover, as long as Ye Shikai was there, Chen Yuxin wouldn’t dare openly oppose Luo Shiqi. Given the current situation, Chen Yuxin should think about how to win him back rather than rush to retaliate.

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

The Chen family.

Ye Shikai drove back alone. What had been a lively celebration in the morning felt oppressive now. Even though the servants didn’t know what had happened, Ye Shikai could sense it. The atmosphere was heavy, and the servants around didn’t dare speak loudly.

"Kai, you’re back." Before Ye Shikai could react, Chen Yuxin, in a wedding dress, rushed over. Her high heels were nowhere to be seen, and she ran out of the room barefoot.

"Kai, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please don’t leave, okay?" Chen Yuxin buried herself in Ye Shikai’s chest, crying bitterly. Her eye sockets were red, looking like she’d been crying for a long time—like a weeping beauty, evoking deep sympathy. But thinking about how she had ordered the kidnapping of Worm and Zi Yun, and blocked his phone contacts, all these things left him "shaken." That Chen Yuxin would do such things was essentially a way to "control" Ye Shikai.

"I didn’t say I was leaving." Ye Shikai said flatly, placing Chen Yuxin on the sofa.

"Kai, have you forgiven me?"

"Xin, you really scared me." Ye Shikai’s voice was weak, and he looked exhausted. "I never expected you would use such methods."

"Kai, it’s my fault. I was afraid of losing you." Chen Yuxin passionately held his hands, as if letting go would mean Ye Shikai disappearing from her sight forever.

"I’ve told you before, I won’t leave you, or the child. I will take responsibility." Ye Shikai coldly said, "I don’t want to delve into what happened today anymore, and don’t cause any trouble for Luo Shiqi either."

"I’ll listen to you." Hearing that Ye Shikai had forgiven her, Chen Yuxin was overjoyed.

"Alright, you’re probably tired too. Go up and rest." Ye Shikai said calmly. There was no point in delving further into things, and he didn’t have the energy to deal with it anyway.

"Kai, tonight is our wedding night. Let’s go up together."
