The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1950: Unable to Understand
Previously on The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife...
Curiosity often leads to many "bad things," so Ye Shikai never cares about them. However, the secret chamber of the Chen family is not irrelevant to him, which is why he asked about it.
Chen Yuxin’s answer was somewhat perfunctory, and though he verbally accepted it, he was half-believing and half-doubting in his heart. A secret chamber that used the Chen family’s array—he really wanted to know what secrets it held. Previously, he wasn’t at the Chen family house, not staying by Chen Yuxin’s side, and was unaware of her every move. Recently, in the days they spent together, he hadn’t seen Chen Yuxin go to the secret chamber every day. Maybe it’s really just some old documents in there.
Ye Shikai turned sideways and slowly drifted into sleep. Chen Yuxin did not ask further, laying her cheek against his chest, feeling his breathing, and soon closed her eyes.
The next day, Chen Group.
As a business titan of Yanjing, many companies visit the group for business negotiations daily, both domestic and international. Ye Shikai was glad he didn’t go to the public relations department; otherwise, he’d be extremely busy.
A "Deputy Minister" was parachuted into the Comprehensive Department, and in this department of just over forty people, it was a "big deal," as it concerned their "livelihood." Although Ye Shikai was only put in a deputy position, it sparked much discussion. Of course, the discussions were not all "derogatory"; there was much more interest in getting to know Ye Shikai.
"I heard that our new deputy minister is the Chairman’s husband."
"Really, no wonder. He’s quite handsome."
"Sigh, no wonder he could become deputy minister straight away. It’s really unfair."
"Alright, alright, stop gossiping, and hurry up with work. If the leader hears, you’ll be in trouble."
There was a lot of discussion among the people. Some even said Ye Shikai rose by marrying into wealth, but no one dared say it too loudly. After all, this was the Group—if caught and passed around, and it reached Ye Shikai, their jobs wouldn’t be safe.
Noon.
"I didn’t expect you to be so leisurely here." Chen Yuxin directly opened the office door and saw Ye Shikai leisurely reading a newspaper.
"Yes, nothing to do." Ye Shikai said lightly, casually closing the office door. The minister knew his identity, wouldn’t dare offend him, and would rather treat Ye Shikai with utmost respect than let him work.
"Xin, you’re the Chairman. Even if we want to meet, you shouldn’t come directly to the office to find me." Ye Shikai complained a bit. Doesn’t this mean gossip will spread among the employees? He didn’t mind, but it might affect Chen Yuxin’s reputation.
"What’s the matter with that? If anyone dares to object, I’ll fire them."
"Cough cough, alright then. Did you come here for something?" Ye Shikai asked.
"Nothing, just came to find you." Chen Yuxin leaned forward, almost leaning on him.
"Xin, what are you doing?" Ye Shikai quickly pushed her gently away. It would be trouble if someone came in now and saw this.
"Alright, it’s already noon. Let’s go eat." Ye Shikai quickly changed the subject, otherwise who knows what Chen Yuxin might do.
"Okay, let’s go out to eat."
.....................
Afternoon.
"Kai, there’s a negotiation later. You should come."
"A negotiation? The affairs of negotiations should be handled by the public relations department. Why do I have to go?" Ye Shikai didn’t understand. The Comprehensive Department was just a miscellaneous department. What did a business negotiation have to do with him?
"You’re an executive of the Group now; you should come and take a look. Okay, that’s enough. Ruoya will come to notify you later." Chen Yuxin did not give Ye Shikai a chance to refute, turned around, and left. He wanted to chase after and ask, but it was too late.
Half an hour later.
"Brother-in-law, the meeting room is this way." Chen Ruoya personally went to the Comprehensive Department and "invited" Ye Shikai to the meeting room. Ordinarily, this wasn’t his duty, but Chen Yuxin insisted he come, leaving him puzzled.
"Brother-in-law, please hurry; everyone is already there."
"Ruoya, I shouldn’t have to come, and I really don’t understand..."
Chen Ruoya gently pushed open the meeting room door. As Ye Shikai saw the scene before him, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Qingyu, Lan." Ye Shikai murmured. On either side of the meeting room, stood people from the Chen Group and the Tianya Group. Many of them were familiar faces. As the door swung open, the eyes of over a hundred people turned to him simultaneously, making Ye Shikai feel utterly uncomfortable, as if pierced by a thousand arrows...
Ye Shikai felt time stand still for a moment, as if he could hear the thoughts of everyone.
Despite so many people being present, Ye Shikai did not lose composure. Instead, he feigned surprise and sat to the side.
"Kai, you finally came." At this moment, Chen Yuxin stepped forward and held him tightly, pulling him to her side. Chen Yuxin, the Chairman of Chen Group, pulling Ye Shikai to her side in front of the senior executives of both companies.
"Xin, what are you doing?" Ye Shikai whispered, his face flushing, his gaze inadvertently falling on Su Qingyu beside him. Her eyes showed a flicker of avoidance, as if guilty. She must feel embarrassed now too.
Even though divorced, seeing Ye Shikai and Chen Yuxin so affectionate made Su Qingyu naturally feel uncomfortable.
"Sorry, I need to use the restroom." Twenty minutes later, Ye Shikai quickly found an excuse to leave. The atmosphere in the meeting room was too weird, and he couldn’t endure it, choosing to "hide" instead.
Knowing it was a negotiation with Tianya Group, why did Chen Yuxin make him come? Ye Shikai finally understood. She displayed such intimacy earlier, clearly to embarrass Su Qingyu. But why did Chen Yuxin do that? He didn’t understand. Would it make her happy? It seemed immature. What was her intention? Was it for her happiness or to intentionally embarrass Su Qingyu? He couldn’t understand the significance of her actions.
Ye Shikai left the restroom and did not return to the meeting room, nor did he go back to the department. Instead, he left the Group entirely. In the car, he thought of texting Su Qingyu to explain everything. After typing out a line, he deleted it all. Su Qingyu should still be in the negotiation; it’s better not to disturb her now. He also didn’t call Chen Yuxin to demand an explanation. He wanted a clarification, an explanation, but not now.
