The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1729: Returned

"Where... is this place?" When Ye Shikai woke up again, it was dim before his eyes, with only two candlelights in the darkness. This was the same somewhat "modern-style" room as before. Ye Shikai instinctively pulled the quilt over his body, turned his head to lie on his side, but the next scene made him fall off the bed.

There was actually a woman sleeping beside him.

"What, you finally woke up? You coughed up blood and fainted this afternoon, you scared me to death." Mi Wen was awakened by Ye Shikai’s action of pulling the quilt.

"Who scared whom, exactly?" If it weren’t for his strong psychological resilience, he might have fainted again just now. Mi Wen was actually sleeping right next to him. Upon closer inspection, his clothes were still neat and tidy, which made Ye Shikai breathe a sigh of relief. If something really happened between them, that would be a big deal.

"So, do you find this room familiar?" Mi Wen put on a piece of clothing and slowly walked down from the bedside.

"Last time, you told me that you came from two thousand years later, and actually, I believed it then. So, how is it? Does decorating the room like this make you feel more at home?" Mi Wen said lightly, with the appearance of a considerate wife.

Ye Shikai looked carefully at the surroundings. It indeed looked similar to his original room, and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.

"Wait a minute, how did you know?" Ye Shikai asked in return.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Miss He. If it weren’t for her showing me the pictures of your original room, how would I have known?" Mi Wen explained. He Linghan had Ye Shikai’s phone, which had no signal in this era, but it stored some photos. So it seemed that He Linghan was indeed in Mi Wen’s hands.

"You... what have you done to her? I beg you, please let her go." Ye Shikai said anxiously, "I can help you conquer the world, as long as you don’t touch her." In a moment of urgency, Ye Shikai wanted to take a step back to gain Mi Wen’s agreement.

"Then what if I want you to marry me?"

"This..." Upon hearing this, Ye Shikai couldn’t help but hesitate. If they really got married, even though it wouldn’t be taking his life, it would be a lifelong torment.

"It seems you lack sincerity." Mi Wen’s face instantly turned cold. "I know, if she’s not dead, you’ll always be thinking of her, and your heart won’t have a place for me."

"So I would rather kill her. Even though you might not accept me, you’ll hate me for a lifetime, and you’ll never forget me."

"You’re simply a lunatic."

"Yes, if I weren’t a lunatic, why would I humiliate myself so many times? If I’m a lunatic, it’s because of you." Mi Wen shouted loudly, her eyes turning red. Ye Shikai didn’t want to argue with her and simply turned his head to ignore her.

"Come back." Mi Wen said coldly.

"Go back where?"

"Of course to bed, do you not sleep in a bed?"

"Then you go back to your room to sleep." Of course, Ye Shikai was unwilling to "share a bed" with Mi Wen, so he resolutely refused to return to bed.

"You, a dignified master, yet to be married, sleeping with me, a grown man? Do you not understand propriety, justice, integrity, and honor?" Ye Shikai retorted.

"I am the master here, everything here is mine, I can sleep wherever I want."

"Fine, you sleep here, I’ll go elsewhere." Ye Shikai picked up his clothes and intended to leave the room.

"Stop."

"What else do you want?"

"If you leave this room, He Linghan’s corpse will appear in front of you, do you believe that?"

Ye Shikai suddenly stopped. Yes, He Linghan was still in Mi Wen’s hands. If his impulsiveness caused her harm, Ye Shikai would be devastated. Right now, he should endure it.

"Fine, I’ll come back, okay?" Ye Shikai, holding back his anger, walked to the bedside, directly wrapped the quilt around himself like a caterpillar, then lay on his side on the bed, almost sleeping against the edge, with the slightest turn risking a fall to the floor.

"I’ll agree to whatever you say, but you must promise not to harm her."

"Of course."

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

The next day.

"I want to go out, why are you stopping me?" Ye Shikai tried to step out the door but was stopped by several guards.

"Mr. Ye, the master has ordered that if you wish to go out, we must report to her first, and she will decide." The guard replied respectfully.

"What?"

"Please be patient, Mr. Ye. We are also following the master’s orders. If you just leave like this, our heads might roll."

"Do you think you can stop me if I want to get out of this door?" Ye Shikai sneered. Although these guards were Mi Wen’s personal guards and cultivators, they were no match for Ye Shikai.

"Mr. Ye, the master left a message that if you insist on going out, you will bear the consequences."

"You..."

"Mr. Ye, please be patient, and don’t trouble us. My brothers have already gone to report, they’ll be back soon."

"Forget it, I’m not going out." In anger, Ye Shikai turned and went back inside. He initially wanted to go out and regroup the Hidden Guards, but now Mi Wen had put him under house arrest. Actually, he didn’t worry about not getting out; those guards couldn’t really stop him. But with He Linghan in Mi Wen’s hands, Ye Shikai kept reminding himself to think twice, not to act impulsively. He thought of He Linghan and forced himself to calm down.

"Damn it." In a fit of anger, Ye Shikai smashed the cup on the table. He had underestimated things. This was Linxiang City, Mi Wen’s stronghold. Taking action wasn’t so easy.

"Who’s there?" Suddenly, Ye Shikai heard footsteps behind him and turned sharply, but the person in front made him completely dumbfounded.

Surprise, excitement, embrace.

"Master, I’ve finally found you."

"Xue San, how could it be you?" Even if Ye Shikai racked his brains, he wouldn’t have guessed the newcomer was the supposedly "dead" Xue San.

"It’s a long story. That day, I was surrounded by the Qin Army in the warehouse, and in desperation, I set it on fire. However, I was lucky enough to find an escape route through which I fled. Later, I was chased by the Qin Army and had no choice but to jump off a mountain, but got caught on a tree, and that’s how I survived." Xue San explained. At the time, the battle was intense, and the members of Xue San’s unit thought he died in combat, but little did they know, he survived the ordeal.

"Then why didn’t you return sooner?" Ye Shikai asked.

"Don’t mention it. To escape the Qin Army’s chase, I disguised myself in civilian clothes to find the troops, but couldn’t find them no matter what. After much difficulty finding some, the soldiers didn’t believe my story. Eventually, I made it to Linxiang City, only to hear you had a fallout with the master."
