The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1124: Winning Over People’s Hearts

"Young master, rest assured, with me in the family, those people won’t be able to stir up any trouble." Elder Mo bowed respectfully, solemnly swearing to ensure Zheng Ji’s safety.

"For now, those elders don’t dare openly challenge me, and my trip to Yanjing is under the guise of an investigation. They can’t stop me outright and become subjects of gossip. Therefore... I need you, during the time I’m in Yanjing, to help me stabilize them as much as possible. And, if they make any moves, report to me promptly." Zheng Ji’s tone was serious, and Elder Mo’s expression grew even more grave. He was a family elder and had raised Zheng Ji, teaching him skills. In Huaxia’s culture, a master holds the same status as a father. As a result, their relationship was both superior-subordinate and "teacher-student, father-son." From a young age, Zheng Ji was a gentleman, gentle yet not weak, strong and unwavering in dealing with matters. If cultivated properly, he could be an excellent family leader.

Thus, both officially and personally, it was only natural for Elder Mo to wholeheartedly support Zheng Ji.

Moreover, Zheng Ji wasn’t someone with empty ambitions; he had the ability to handle family affairs, only requiring time and assistance.

"Young master, I have many friends in Yanjing. If necessary, they can all lend you a hand."

"Master Mo, thank you for your willingness to assist a junior." Zheng Ji bowed deeply, and Elder Mo hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Young master, what are you doing? This is too much for me." Elder Mo’s face changed at the sight. Since ancient times, there has been a distinction between ranks, and Zheng Ji’s actions made him, the subordinate, feel distinctly uneasy.

"Master Mo has taught me skills, and now you’re willing to assist me. I’m immensely grateful."

"Young master, I, Mo Changfeng, would give my old life for you."

"Thank you." Zheng Ji replied each word solidly and forcefully, making such a grand gesture of gratitude to Elder Mo and speaking so passionately, there was no way Mo Changfeng wouldn’t pledge his allegiance.

Since ancient times, the wisdom of powerful rulers has been in their ability to make good use of people and gather loyalty. Every hero has trusted aides, and Zheng Ji is such a person, capable of ensuring those around him are loyal to him. He naturally employs different strategies for different people. With Mo Changfeng, whose relationship with him is like "father-son," playing the emotional card is enough to make Mo Changfeng dedicate himself entirely, living and dying for him.

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

Yanjing, Chen family estate.

Ye Shikai was gazing thoughtfully at the distant scenery alone, holding a wine glass for half an hour, yet had not taken a sip of the red wine inside.

"Kai, I’ve packed everything; we can depart tomorrow." Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded at the doorway, causing Ye Shikai to slowly turn his head, stunned by the sight before him. Chen Yuxin donned a pink princess gown and looked quite "stunning." The pink hue softened the cold elegance, highlighting Chen Yuxin’s gentleness and daintiness. It must be said, the same outfit can have different effects on different people. If another woman wore this dress, perhaps it would only appear cute. However, on Chen Yuxin, it looked perfect.

But, considering they were going on a trip, wearing this... really appropriate?

"Is it pretty?" Chen Yuxin was quite satisfied with the effect. Men are visual creatures; pleasant words cannot compare to the stimulating "fleeting glance" before them. Seeing Ye Shikai’s shocked expression, Chen Yuxin was even happier.

"Yes." Ye Shikai nodded, "But we’re going on a trip; wearing this... isn’t quite suitable."

"Who says you can’t wear a gown on a trip?" Chen Yuxin stubbornly replied, adding softly, "Kai, let’s go like this. Besides, it’s our honeymoon; I want to look beautiful for you."

"Alright, do as you please then." Ye Shikai shrugged it off. After all, Chen Yuxin was the Family Head; she could wear whatever she wanted without anyone caring. And from a certain angle, when a woman dresses beautifully, it benefits the man, too...

"Hold on, no." Suddenly, Chen Yuxin exclaimed, scrutinizing Ye Shikai’s attire with eyes like scanners.

"What’s the matter?" Ye Shikai was "startled" not daring to move.

"You need to tidy your outfit as well." Chen Yuxin looked seriously at Ye Shikai, evidently displeased with his attire. Ye Shikai believed he lacked artistic talent and didn’t have high standards for clothing. When at home, he wore casual attire, but planning to go out later, he had changed into a regular down jacket.

"What’s there to tidy up?" Ye Shikai shook his head.

"You can’t wear this on our honeymoon." Curious, Ye Shikai glanced at his clothing; the down jacket was good for over two thousand bucks, he didn’t see any issue.

"This outfit... isn’t decent? I think it’s fine."

"No way, wearing this on a honeymoon, plus it’s not cold in Europe now, no need to wear so much." As Chen Yuxin spoke, she reached to remove Ye Shikai’s jacket, "Let me help ’dress’ you up."

"Let’s just leave it, it’ll do." Ye Shikai said indifferently.

"No way, I’m the boss, humph." Chen Yuxin huffed coldly, feigning displeasure.

"Alright, whatever you say."

"Kai, you don’t seem in a good mood; did something happen?" Chen Yuxin astutely noticed that since returning from the East Sea, Ye Shikai would often stand by the window daydreaming, staring outside quietly. Occasionally, she wondered if he was suffering from "depression" or something similar.

"Nothing, just thinking about the Ghost situation makes me a bit agitated." Ye Shikai shook his head. In fact, he didn’t want Chen Yuxin to focus too much on this. Firstly, Chen Yuxin didn’t think well of Ghost, and if she intervened, it might backfire. Secondly, Chen Yuxin could easily get into disputes with Ye Shikai over these issues, which he didn’t want to deal with right now.

"Well, no need to worry. Miss Ji has gone to the Northeast for this, hasn’t even left you a message. It seems she’s quite anxious." Chen Yuxin seemed to hint at something, and Ye Shikai was not foolish; he got it.

"Xin, she’s done so much for me, at the very least... I hope you won’t interfere with her."

"Humph, how much can she do for you?" Chen Yuxin’s expression changed slightly, evident jealousy on her face.

"She manages and runs the Netherworld Palace for me, and she’s helping Ghost, which is also helping me."

"What she can do, I can do just as well." Chen Yuxin huffed coldly, slightly angry.
