The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1812: Despair

Taking a closer look, how could he not recognize this room? He was now in the secret room of the Chen family, where Chen Yuxin had once "imprisoned" him. However, he had quickly escaped. This secret room contained many of the Chen family’s "secret research," a top-secret place for outsiders, but not unfamiliar to Ye Shikai.

Ye Shikai stood up from the bed, and only then did he realize that his body was wrapped in so many bandages. After lying for so long, getting out of bed made his legs almost give way. He removed the bandages on his arms, revealing many wounds, though they had long since healed. His head was a bit dizzy, as if he had some memory loss. What exactly... had happened before?

"Kai, you’re awake, that’s wonderful." At this moment, the sound of a porcelain bowl shattering suddenly came from the doorway. Ye Shikai turned and saw Chen Yuxin excitedly rushing over, the bowl in her hands falling to the ground.

"Xin, why are you here?" Ye Shikai was a bit slow to react. Actually, he wanted to ask why he was in the Chen family’s secret room.

Wait a moment, Ye Shikai suddenly realized something was wrong. Wasn’t he supposed to have traveled back to the Qin Dynasty? Why was he still in the modern era? That huge energy mass in the Kunlun Secret Realm, rumored to have time-traveling power, why, why was he still here?

"Xin, why am I here?" Ye Shikai pushed Chen Yuxin away. If he hadn’t traveled back, wouldn’t it mean there was no chance left? He could not accept this fact.

"Kai, what are you talking about? You were seriously injured in the Kunlun Secret Realm, and I brought you down. How is your injury now?" Chen Yuxin carefully examined his injuries but was pushed away impatiently by Ye Shikai, who was solely focused on the matter of time travel.

Ye Shikai tried hard to recall. Back then, in the hall, he intended to use the energy mass to travel back again, but Ji Qian stopped him. She even took action against Ye Shikai. In the end, she threw water elements toward the energy mass, and then he lost consciousness.

"Kai, calm down a bit, sit down first." Seeing this, Chen Yuxin showed great patience. Now that Ye Shikai had finally awoken from his severe injuries, he needed rest. She didn’t want Ye Shikai to have any more accidents.

"That day you were severely injured in the Secret Realm, covered in blood. I was scared to death and hurriedly brought people to take you down the mountain for treatment. Now that you’re finally awake, I am really happy."

"I was in a coma." Ye Shikai murmured. At that time, he only felt an immensely powerful energy, then he completely lost consciousness. According to Chen Yuxin, it was the shockwave from the energy mass explosion that severely injured him.

"Yes, you were in a coma for over half a month. I was worried to death."

"Half a month, it’s been that long?" Ye Shikai suddenly stood up.

"Kai, what are you trying to do?" Chen Yuxin quickly asked.

"Xin, I’m not joking with you. I must return to the Qin Dynasty. Ling’er is still waiting for me there." Ye Shikai intended to leave the secret room, but an array was set at the door, and he couldn’t open it.

"What’s going on? Quickly open the array and let me out."

"Kai, are you still thinking about that woman named Ling’er?" Chen Yuxin’s expression suddenly changed, looking very serious. In fact, she already knew everything. After coming down the mountain, Ji Qian had explained it to her. To be honest, Chen Yuxin felt miserable, her husband marrying another woman was unacceptable for anyone, but she was relieved. Ye Shikai’s accidental return to the Qin Dynasty was an unexpected event that nobody, including himself, anticipated. Mysteriously traveling back to the Qin Dynasty over two thousand years ago, no one could guarantee the chance to return to the modern era. In this situation, to the modern world, Ye Shikai, who traveled back to the Qin Dynasty, was essentially a "dead person."

But now that Ye Shikai had returned, he still couldn’t forget He Linghan. This made Chen Yuxin feel disappointed and desperate.

"Ling’er is very important to me." Ye Shikai said firmly.

"Then what am I to you, Kai? Since we got married, have you really considered me your wife?" Chen Yuxin’s tone was "calm." Ye Shikai’s actions deeply hurt her heart. Indeed, Chen Yuxin had done many things to hurt him back then, and they got married because of the child. For this, Ye Shikai was forced to divorce Su Qingyu.

"Ling’er is unique to me." Ye Shikai turned around and said softly.

"Then what about me, what am I?"

"You are irreplaceable." After saying that, Ye Shikai directly left. The Chen family saw Ye Shikai come out and dared not stop him, letting him leave the residence.

However, as he left the Chen family residence, someone stopped him.

"Qian, why are you here?" Ye Shikai got out of the car and, seeing Ji Qian, felt a surge of anger.

"Please don’t leave, okay? Listen to my explanation." Ji Qian stopped him, pleading bitterly.

"Enough, I don’t need your explanation." In fact, Ye Shikai already understood why Ji Qian acted so madly that day. The Other Shore Flower enchanted her consciousness, not letting Ye Shikai leave, which was Ji Qian’s true intention, but more because of the Other Shore Flower. After the energy mass explosion, the Other Shore Flower in the entire palace lost its energy supply, losing its ability to enchant people. In short, although Ye Shikai resented her, he didn’t hate her.

"I wasn’t intentional that day." Ji Qian suddenly cried. Ye Shikai had spent a long time with her, and this woman always appeared strong; at least, she would never cry in front of others.

"Whatever it is, talk in the car."

Ten minutes later.

"Where are you going now?" Ji Qian asked curiously as Ye Shikai was practically "speeding" the whole way.

"Of course, the airport. I want to return to Kunlun Mountain."

"It’s useless. The Kunlun Ruins have long been closed. Reopening them might take decades."

"What did you say?" Ye Shikai slammed the brakes. Decades, meaning he might never have the chance to return this lifetime.

"I’m sorry, it’s all my fault." Ji Qian cried again.

Ye Shikai’s anger surged, raising his hand, but ultimately he slowly lowered it, leaning powerlessly against the car seat. His only opportunity to return to the Qin Dynasty was gone.

How could it be like this?

In utter despair, Ye Shikai suddenly laughed. Perhaps this was a big joke played on him by the heavens.
