The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1785: The Answer

"Your silence is an admission," Chen Yuxin deduced from Ye Shikai’s silence, realizing that this woman named He Linghan was definitely not an ordinary person. At least for Ye Shikai, she must be extremely important.

Chen Yuxin’s mind was racing, linking together the few things she learned: Ye Shikai traveled back to the Qin Dynasty, and his insistence on climbing the mountain was for the rumored energy in the Kunlun Secret Realm that could traverse time and space. And the motive was precisely He Linghan.

"Who exactly is this He Linghan? You must tell me today." Chen Yuxin’s attitude suddenly turned tough. She had a faint sense of unease. There were not many women that Ye Shikai couldn’t forget, day and night. It was very likely He Linghan was one of Ye Shikai’s lovers.

"Xin, are you forcing me again? It’s always like this. In order to get what you want, you’re willing to go to any lengths. Can’t I have some secrets? You never consider my feelings." Ye Shikai retorted.

"Is that so? Then why aren’t you willing to tell me those secrets? Is it something shameful?" Chen Yuxin sneered, "Who exactly is this He Linghan, and what’s her relationship with you?"

"What will you do if I refuse to say?" Ye Shikai said coldly.

"Then I will definitely not let you leave. Everyone outside is mine; you can’t escape." Chen Yuxin’s anger boiled. The more Ye Shikai concealed, the more it indicated the ambiguous relationship between him and this woman before, something Chen Yuxin could not tolerate.

"So, if I don’t speak, are you planning not to let me leave?"

"Absolutely not. I went up Kunlun Mountain originally to find you. As long as I can find you, those treasures don’t matter at all. I’ll take you down the mountain right now." Chen Yuxin said firmly.

"Fine, since you insist on knowing, I’ll tell you." Ye Shikai had lost his patience. He couldn’t tolerate Chen Yuxin’s attitude. Every time it was like this; his chest was like being crushed by a huge stone, hard to breathe.

"He Linghan is my wife. I have already married her." Ye Shikai’s tone had no hint of concealment. He spoke firmly, even with a sense of deliberately provoking her.

"What did you say?"

"I said, He Linghan is my wife. We have held a bridal ceremony and consummated our marriage. I went to the Kunlun Secret Realm for her. Are you satisfied with this result?" Ye Shikai shouted loudly.

Chen Yuxin’s hands trembled, her face turned pale, and her eyes reddened, as though she was at the extreme of anger or sorrow. Such words dealt her a heavy blow. Her greatest wish was to be with Ye Shikai, but now she learned that Ye Shikai had another wife, and it was told by his own mouth—this kind of blow was enough to make one faint.

"I originally didn’t plan to say it; you forced me." After calming down a bit, Ye Shikai sighed deeply. He had some regrets, but this matter could not be concealed forever. Saying it now, he felt much lighter; carrying such a secret is certainly uncomfortable.

"Kai, is what you said true? Tell me you’re just trying to upset me." Chen Yuxin shook her head, tightly grasping his arm and shaking it continuously. She hoped that his words were merely an outburst.

"Xin, in this matter, I am the one who has wronged you, but during the time we spent together, you never listened to my true feelings. You always lived in your own world." Ye Shikai murmured, "At first, you did all those things just to break me and Qingyu apart, and marry you. But you never knew my heart was filled with such pain. In the days afterward, I lived exhausting and oppressive, but you never cared. You only wanted to possess me. My joys, sorrows, and pains never concerned you. To keep me with you, you even... even destroyed my Dantian."

"Kai, all those things were my fault, a moment of confusion. I promise it won’t happen again. From now on, I’ll listen to you, okay?" Chen Yuxin’s tone was almost pleading. She didn’t want Ye Shikai to leave again, much less for Ye Shikai to abandon her for another woman.

"Honestly, when I first traveled back to the Qin Dynasty, I also found it difficult to accept. Compared to modern times, it was practically a wasteland, but I quickly adapted. There, I could live easily every day. Although constant war prevailed, with He Linghan by my side, I didn’t feel tired or bitter." Ye Shikai sighed, "I never expected to be able to return to modern times again. I even had no desire to come back."

"But fate played its part, and I returned without any preparation."

"Kai, I know what you’re thinking, but I hope you can reconsider. Now that you’re back, if you go again, I fear you’ll never return. The kids and I cannot lose you." Chen Yuxin continued to desperately persuade, but his mind was made up and would not change.

"Father, beyond this snowfield, we’ll be very close to the top of Kunlun Mountain."

"It hasn’t been easy. Who would’ve thought that this expedition to Kunlun Mountain would cost us so many people?" Ji Tao lamented.

"Compared to other families, our losses are already minimal." Ji Qian comforted, as the Ji Family lost less than a hundred people, while some families lost three to four hundred. Kunlun Mountain, after all, is Huaxia’s ’Holy Mountain’, every Family Head should be mentally prepared.

"The rumor has it that within the Kunlun Secret Realm, there are many treasures. If we can obtain them, then this journey wouldn’t be in vain. It’s just that..." Ji Tao looked at the nearby families. There were a dozen more families progressing together. Among them were influential families like the Zheng Family and the Li Family. Even the Tang Family and the Wang Family had strength and reputation. Every family was not to be underestimated, making the competition extremely fierce. Whether the Ji Family would ultimately obtain the treasures was still uncertain.

The Ji Family had formed an alliance with the Li Family. If treasures were to be acquired, they would share equally. Before that, if any family encountered danger, the other must do all in its power.

"Family Head, look ahead, what is that?" Chen Ligong pointed toward the distant sky, where countless Snow Demons hovered. Although they had encountered terrifying creatures at the Heavenly Chasm before, the sight of the Snow Demons still stunned everyone.

"It seems we have encountered another difficult situation."

The families all halted their steps. They were merely three miles away from the Snow Demons, yet these creatures seemed not to harbor any intentions to attack preemptively.

"Father, what should we do now? There’s no other route to bypass here." Zheng Ji observed, seeking guidance from Zheng Li.

"These Snow Demons appear to dwell here regularly. Their strength unknown, we must first send a portion of our people to test them."
