The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1735: Cold-Blooded

Government Office.

"How come, I didn’t know you had a hobby for gardening." Mi Wen led Ye Shikai to the back garden of the residence. According to the servants’ information, all the flowers and plants here were personally planted by Mi Wen.

"When I have nothing to do, I come here to plant these... Did you hear this from the servants?"

"Yes, they said that all the plants here were planted by you."

"Don’t you have any doubts?" Mi Wen retorted.

"I believe them, and besides, if the servants planted them, then all the flowers and plants would be clean and orderly. But these flowers and plants haven’t been pruned much, it’s obvious the person planting them is a beginner. If they are your work, then it makes sense." Ye Shikai explained.

"However, I really didn’t expect you to have such a hobby." Ye Shikai was a bit surprised. Let alone Mi Wen’s gardening skills, the sheer scale of it was already surprising. A room full of flowers and plants, the person planting them must be quite leisurely, yet he couldn’t associate "leisure" with Mi Wen.

"So, what should I be like in your heart?" Mi Wen asked, curious about the image she held in Ye Shikai’s mind after hearing his description.

"I thought this place would be filled with weapons, or even torture devices."

"You’re mocking me." Mi Wen’s face suddenly turned cold. Anyone would be unhappy to hear such words, especially a woman, compared to being directly called "venomous" and "ruthless."

"That’s right, I’m mocking you." Ye Shikai didn’t deny it, openly admitting with a look that said, "Do what you will with me."

"In my eyes, you’re just a cold-blooded creature. How about denying that?" Ye Shikai retorted, and the maids nearby were too scared to even breathe. Ye Shikai was openly defying Mi Wen. Historically, defying a superior was a severe crime, and Mi Wen seemed already displeased.

Mi Wen couldn’t deny it. Wu Anjun Bai Qi once executed forty thousand surrendered Zhao Army soldiers. Opinions about him were mixed; some said it was a last resort, others said he sought a permanent solution in the cruelest way. But no one could deny he was a "tough guy," otherwise, he couldn’t have made such a decision. Similarly, Mi Wen executed eighty thousand Qin Army soldiers, in Ye Shikai’s eyes, she was the same type of person as Bai Qi, perhaps even more ruthless...

"You’re provoking me for a reason today, right?" Mi Wen suppressed her anger and did not lose her temper.

"Nothing, just wanted to upset you, so what." Ye Shikai said coldly, intending to provoke Mi Wen, without any purpose, or rather, to vent his dissatisfaction. The pressure from Mi Wen was something he couldn’t accept, and the suppressed anger needed an outlet.

"If you have the guts, then kill me." Suddenly, Ye Shikai snatched the sword from a guard nearby and handed it to Mi Wen.

"You’re my future husband, how could I kill you." Mi Wen tossed the sword aside.

"Do you really intend to marry me?" Ye Shikai stepped forward, eyes intense, his tone almost interrogative.

"Of course, it’s something I long for." Mi Wen expressed her heartfelt desire openly in front of the guards and maids, showing that it was sincere.

"No matter what you think, I advise you to give up this idea. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. And when disappointment reaches an extreme, it becomes despair." Ye Shikai whispered in her ear before turning to leave.

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

"I’ll give you a chance to apologize for what you said to me in the back garden this afternoon." At night, just after Ye Shikai finished dinner, Mi Wen barged into his room, coldly questioning him, leaving Ye Shikai bewildered.

"And if I refuse to apologize, cold-blooded animal?"

Bam.

Before Ye Shikai could react, Mi Wen suddenly charged at him, knocking into him. Ye Shikai, caught off guard, staggered back and tripped over the bed, falling onto it.

Upon opening his eyes, a sharp blade was already hanging above his head, gripped by Mi Wen, plunging down.

Ye Shikai felt a slight pain on his cheek as a warm liquid slowly slid over it. Although Mi Wen spared his life, the blade left a cut on his cheek, causing blood to flow...

"What, you still couldn’t resist the urge to kill. Well, I’ve had enough of this life, you can kill me if you want." Ye Shikai remained unafraid, but rather laughed.

"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have hurt you." Suddenly, a panic flashed across Mi Wen’s cold face, and she immediately stood up to fetch antiseptic medicine.

"Don’t move, I’ll put medicine on you." Mi Wen’s attitude took a complete turn, showing regret, a stark contrast to her earlier cold and decisive demeanor, leaving Ye Shikai dumbfounded. Could it be that Mi Wen had a split personality?

"It’s alright, I’m fine." Ye Shikai waved it off. As a cultivator, such a minor wound would heal by the next day, without leaving a scar.

"Husband, I..."

"Wait, don’t call me that." As soon as Ye Shikai heard the term, he reacted sensitively, "I’m not your husband. If the maids outside hear it, aren’t you afraid it’ll cause a huge scandal?"

"They don’t dare speak, and besides, our marriage is just a matter of time."

"I’ve already told you, I won’t marry you."

"Shh," Mi Wen suddenly placed her finger at his lips, indicating him not to finish his sentence.

"Don’t speak so conclusively, that day is coming soon." Mi Wen suddenly smiled, and Ye Shikai had a bad feeling. She didn’t seem to be joking, rather confident, could it be...

"Did you do something to Ling’er?" In anger, Ye Shikai directly grabbed her collar. He had never thought of hitting a woman, but if it crossed his bottom line, he wouldn’t hesitate.

"She is safe, I can even say her three meals are more sumptuous than mine, and I promised you I wouldn’t harm her now." Mi Wen didn’t resist, nor did she show fear, but rather a hint of anticipation.

"Then what do you mean."

"If she leaves you of her own accord, then you will have no reason to refuse me."
