The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1784: Who Is She
Previously on The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife...
"No matter what, Kai, since you’re back now, please don’t leave again, okay? I’m really worried about you," Chen Yuxin advised.
"Alright, it’s so late now, you should go to bed early. The environment here is so harsh, and you’re pregnant, you really shouldn’t have come up with me." Ye Shikai didn’t answer, instead he advised Chen Yuxin to rest early. Ye Shikai was determined to go up the mountain, and Chen Yuxin was equally stubborn, insisting on accompanying him up. Ye Shikai couldn’t promise her anything, nor could he bear to outright refuse.
"Okay."
Ye Shikai returned to the tent, lay down beside, and soon the tent’s zipper was slowly drawn open, and Chen Yuxin came in. Ye Shikai wasn’t surprised; he had expected it.
"Kai, are you asleep?"
"As you can see, I’m not," Ye Shikai replied coldly.
"Can we chat for a bit? I haven’t seen you for so long these past few days, and I really want to know what happened." Chen Yuxin continued, "Back then you wanted to go to the Holy Mountain for the Main God Conference, I really didn’t approve, all because of that woman Ji Qian..."
"This has nothing to do with her." Before Chen Yuxin could finish, Ye Shikai interrupted her.
"Back then, it was my own insistence to go to the Holy Mountain."
"Alright, anyway, now that you’re back, being safe is all that matters." Chen Yuxin didn’t dare to anger him and had to agree to everything. In her heart, she loathed Ji Qian, even contemplating getting rid of her several times, but Chen Yuxin dared not do so. Firstly, acting against Ji Qian would mean declaring war on the Ji Family. Secondly, it was due to Ye Shikai; she didn’t want to be hated by him because of it.
"Kai, when you traveled back to the Qin Dynasty, did you encounter danger? It’s nothing like it is now." Chen Yuxin gently held his waist and whispered in his ear.
"Danger, there was indeed some. At that time, without Inner Strength and amidst the war, I almost died in the chaotic army. Speaking of which, I have you to thank for that." Ye Shikai’s tone was filled with resentment towards Chen Yuxin. Hearing this, she trembled violently, her hands tightly gripping Ye Shikai’s clothes.
"I’m sorry."
"I don’t want to hear that now. I’m a bit tired, and I’ll have to keep traveling tomorrow. You should return to your main tent to rest," Ye Shikai said and then turned his back. However, Chen Yuxin didn’t leave; instead, she hugged him tightly, and this time Ye Shikai didn’t stop her, allowing her to hold him. Before long, he fell asleep.
He had a very long dream. It seemed like he was back on that execution ground...
Ye Shikai saw "himself" lying in a pool of blood, his chest pierced through by Xuanjian. He Linghan was holding his body tightly, and Mi Wen looked on in shock and astonishment. The sky was pouring down rain. Ye Shikai was curious; by now he should have already traveled back, but why was there still a "him" on the execution ground?
But soon, Ye Shikai figured it out; he was merely dreaming, and what was in it was just a fantasy, not that he had really returned to the Qin Dynasty.
With an opening of her hand, Mi Wen’s sword fell to the ground. Maybe until the moment she unleashed the sword, she hadn’t realized Ye Shikai had died beneath her blade.
Ye Shikai died beneath her obsession. At this moment, her heart was possibly more pained than He Linghan’s.
According to past experiences, there should be a lightning strike now, bringing Ye Shikai back to the modern era. However, it didn’t happen in the dream; he still lay there, with He Linghan holding his corpse tightly, and Mi Wen also slowly bent down, stroking his chest.
Seeing He Linghan’s heartbroken expression, Ye Shikai felt extremely uncomfortable, but he had no way, just silently watched from the side.
"It’s you, it’s all because of you." Suddenly, Mi Wen’s eyes turned blood-red, tightly gripping Xuanjian, the edge against He Linghan’s throat. She had no Inner Strength and was as weak as a chick; how could she be Mi Wen’s opponent? Moreover, there was no help around. A Barrier was set around the execution ground; outsiders couldn’t enter at all.
"If not for you, she wouldn’t have refused my requests." Mi Wen fell into a frenzied state. Ye Shikai once thought about what her reaction would be after being mistakenly killed by Mi Wen; she must go mad, definitely venting her anger on He Linghan. This was also Ye Shikai’s greatest worry; if Mi Wen wanted to act, killing her would be as easy as flipping a hand.
"Mi Wen, you’re a lunatic," He Linghan cursed coldly.
"Fine, since you love him so much, let me send you to accompany him in the grave," Mi Wen raised Xuanjian high and brought it down with force.
"No," Ye Shikai cried out in shock, sitting up abruptly, his eyes wide open, gasping heavily. It was a nightmare, but too real. Ye Shikai touched his back, and although the weather was cold, his back was drenched in cold sweat. Thinking during the day and dreaming at night, he had been constantly thinking about He Linghan’s matters, so naturally, he would dream of her. However, this result was the last thing he wanted to see.
Exhaling deeply.
Ye Shikai took a deep breath, and it took a long time to calm down. It was a dream, but it’s something that could very well happen.
Dreams are a possibility of reality; He Linghan might not really be killed by Mi Wen. Instead, this nightmare strengthened Ye Shikai’s determination to return to the Qin Dynasty. He must go back; only then can he save He Linghan.
"Kai."
Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded by his side. Ye Shikai was startled; the nightmare had been so vivid that he forgot someone was sleeping beside him.
Chen Yuxin slowly sat up, her eyes a bit swollen, as if she hadn’t slept well.
"Who is He Linghan?" Chen Yuxin suddenly asked.
"How do you know her?" Ye Shikai was taken aback.
"You were calling her name all night, you sweated a lot, were you having a nightmare?"
"Don’t worry, I’m fine." Ye Shikai turned his body, trying to brush it off, but Chen Yuxin was a very sensitive person. If it wasn’t someone extremely important, how could Ye Shikai call out a name in his sleep, and Chen Yuxin knew all his connections, but never heard of someone named He Linghan.
"Who exactly is He Linghan?" Chen Yuxin clearly didn’t intend to let the topic go; she had to know who this woman was.
"I’m still very sleepy, let me sleep a bit more," Ye Shikai waved his hand to brush it off.
"No way," Chen Yuxin pounced on him, forcefully pulling Ye Shikai into a sitting position.
"Kai, who exactly is this He Linghan? You’re determined to go to the Kunlun Secret Realm, is it for her?" Chen Yuxin linked the two things together, and actually, it was very easy to think of. During the day, Ye Shikai refused to say why he insisted on going up the mountain, and now he wouldn’t reveal He Linghan’s identity. Chen Yuxin wasn’t stupid; she could quickly figure it out.
