The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1103: Sharing a Kiss
"You’re not in good health right now, you shouldn’t go." Chen Yuxin urged the driver to head towards the mansion, leaving Ye Shikai helpless, unable to simply jump out of the car.
"Kai, why are you still acting like a child?" Back at the Chen family home, Ye Shikai stubbornly refused to get out of the car. Chen Yuxin grabbed his hand, trying to coax him out.
"You can tamper with my phone, but does that mean I have no right to go out?" Ye Shikai said coldly.
"Kai, I’m also doing this for your own good. You’re not well; I’m worried about you." Chen Yuxin’s expression changed slightly. Since the last incident when Ye Shikai discovered the issue with his phone, Chen Yuxin had been particularly nervous. Now that Ye Shikai brought up the topic again, her tone immediately shifted.
"I’m fine, you go inside first." Ye Shikai outright refused. Unconsciously, a nameless anger welled up inside him, making his tone abrupt.
"Kai, maybe it’s better to let it go." Before Chen Yuxin could finish her sentence, Ye Shikai drove away from the Chen family home.
"Ruoya."
"Family Head, is there anything you need?"
"Follow him with your people and report to me immediately if there’s any change."
"Yes, Family Head."
Ring, ring.
Ye Shikai drove alone, not far from the house, when his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was a call from Chen Yuxin.
Not knowing why, anger surged within Ye Shikai, and he abruptly hung up the phone and even turned it off.
Ye Shikai drove without navigation and didn’t even know where he should go, yet his hands expertly turned the steering wheel.
Knock, knock, knock.
The heavy wooden door echoed with the sound of knocking. Su Qingyu quickly came to open the door and was stunned by the scene outside.
Ye Shikai was panting, his face appearing flushed as if he’d just run a marathon.
"Why is it you, um..."
Before Su Qingyu could finish, Ye Shikai’s fierce kiss landed on her lips, and with a gentle push, she was pinned against the wall as he passionately kissed her. Su Qingyu’s eyes widened in shock, completely unprepared for Ye Shikai’s sudden action.
Ye Shikai extended his arms, tightly embracing Su Qingyu, as the passionate kiss seemed never-ending...
Slap.
A sharp sound of a slap echoed through the room, leaving it silent.
"Ye Shikai, are you crazy?" Su Qingyu shouted, her voice hoarse with frustration as her face flushed red. Ye Shikai’s eyes were bloodshot, gasping heavily.
"Yes, I am crazy." Ye Shikai said slowly and deliberately, not sure why, perhaps feeling too stifled in recent times. Earlier, he’d instinctively come here, unwilling to deceive himself. The person in his heart had always been Su Qingyu.
"Do you know you’re already married...?" Before Su Qingyu could finish, Ye Shikai kissed her again.
Five minutes later.
Ye Shikai slowly released Su Qingyu. If the first kiss was impulsive, the second was filled with mutual longing, as Su Qingyu didn’t choose to resist.
"Qingyu, I’m sorry." Ye Shikai suddenly started crying, his voice choked up. While breaking up, people say couples can still be friends, but in reality, it’s incredibly difficult. If the feelings remain, it’s either rekindling the relationship or forever forgetting each other...
Ye Shikai had once tried to forget Su Qingyu, but seeing her today made him realize that he could never forget her.
He once promised to give Su Qingyu the best, but promises are easily made, and keeping them is hard, especially emotional vows. Time is the most ruthless thing; it tears apart countless lies in Yanjing, a city of over twenty million people. Every day plays out stories of love broken and rekindled, due to external interference or internal changes. Initial intentions fade, and in the eyes of ordinary people, Ye Shikai’s experience is unusual. Arriving at this point might be coincidental, but it’s more of an inevitability.
"Go back. She’s already by your side. We’re finished," Su Qingyu said blandly, as they fell from the Illusion Realm into reality suddenly.
"I’m sorry. Today... I was impulsive." Ye Shikai sighed deeply and slowly turned to leave, as light rain began to fall from the sky, mirroring his mood.

East Sea.
"Mr. Zheng, we’ve been in East Sea for some time now, but our companion is still missing. Do you have any solutions?" At the hotel, Ji Qian and the Netherworld Palace group sat around the dining table, while Zheng Ji took the central seat. These days, he almost daily entertained the group, but finding someone in East Sea is like searching for a needle in a haystack. All the while, a shadow of ’despair’ blankets everyone, even though Ghost is a cultivator with extraordinary prowess. If still alive, he could contact the Netherworld Palace in countless ways, even a call from a public telephone booth. Yet after so long without a response, everyone tacitly understands the situation.
"There’s no need to worry. Finding someone is not easy, but I will do my best."
"Mr. Zheng, if you cannot assure finding our companion, we won’t trouble you further." Ji Qian made to leave, prompting Zheng Ji to quickly stand and stop her.
"Haha." Zheng Ji suddenly laughed aloud.
"Mr. Zheng, what do you mean?" Ji Qian furrowed her brow, curious.
"I formally introduce a friend." Zheng Ji stood up, speaking slowly and deliberately, clapping his hands as a man slowly entered from outside. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Lang.
"Greetings everyone, it’s a pleasure to meet for the first time." Lang surveyed the group and spoke lightly.
"Lang, regarding your task..."
"Rest assured, Mr. Zheng, everything is arranged. I brought a gift for you." Lang retrieved a photo from his pocket and handed it to Ji Qian.
"Miss Ji, please examine carefully. Is this person the companion you’re searching for?" Zheng Ji took a sip of tea and returned to his seat.
The group craned their heads, curious as they looked at the photograph—Ghost and Gu Xin were seen holding hands, shopping in an East Sea mall.
"It’s him." The group’s previously worried faces finally showed signs of hope.
"Mr. Zheng, please tell us where he is now and where this photo was taken." Ji Qian quickly asked.
"Haha, Miss Ji, Mr. Ghost’s exceptional abilities initially made Lang want to make him Vice Leader, but now it seems, that position remains vacant."
