"Moreover, anything she can’t do, I can do just as well." Chen Yuxin left a gentle kiss on Ye Shikai’s cheek, with a slight smile and a face full of confidence.
"Alright, you’re the best, aren’t you?" Ye Shikai gently shook his head. It seed that every woman he interacted with had a competitive nature. It was no wonder, whether it was Su Qingyu, Ji Qian, or the Chen Yuxin in front of him — they were all capable individuals. On the outside, they appeared gentle, but inside, they had a tenacity. Chen Yuxin was especially so; even back in school, despite seeming delicate and pitiable, she always ranked at the top during exams. To say she didn’t put in any effort would be a lie.
"Hehe, Kai, don’t think about those things. We have to leave tomorrow, so get so rest early." With that, Chen Yuxin turned and went to the office. Speaking of which, she hadn’t managed the Chen Group for a long ti. Now that she’s back in Yanjing, it’s about ti she handles the major affairs of the group.
"Alright, you go handle your affairs. I have sothing to do and need to go out for a bit." Ye Shikai picked up the car keys from the coffee table and turned to leave the Chen family mansion.
Driving slowly, Ye Shikai recalled the "familiar" text ssage he received at ho just now. Though there was no na noted, he imdiately knew who sent it.
Yanjing University, in a cafe.
"So, tell , what do you want from , Dongfang... Teacher?" Ye Shikai took a sip of the coffee in front of him, looking at the beautiful teacher across the table. In a plain tone, he noticed several students around were watching, indicating that Dongfang Lian was quite popular at Yanjing University.
"Ye Shikai, I heard you got married again recently, didn’t you?" Dongfang Lian lowered her head, sipping her coffee with her elegant legs crossed. Her tone was icy. Of course, this seemingly kind and approachable teacher wasn’t as benign as she appeared. Few knew the venom in her heart as Han Ruoya and Su Ziqing never ntioned it.
It’s said that the more beautiful a woman is, the deeper her thoughts, and they’re often unfathomable.
Dongfang Lian’s father was forrly part of the Underworld, so being the daughter of an Underworld power leader, she was "influenced" from a young age. Ye Shikai had no doubts about her cunning.
"Yes, did you call out just to congratulate ?"
"Hmph, a scumbag like you deserves to die, yet you want to congratulate you? I spit on that." Dongfang Lian coldly snorted, and Ye Shikai’s expression darkened. To outsiders, he indeed seed like a scumbag who abandoned his wife, and regardless of his reasons, he couldn’t deny that outco.
"Then I’m leaving." Ye Shikai made a move to leave, only to feel a force on his shoulder. Looking up quickly, he saw that Dongfang Lian had, at so point, instantly appeared behind him, her hands pressing on his shoulders.
"Are you crazy? This is a public place. Do you want everyone to know we are cultivators?" Ye Shikai couldn’t help but hiss quietly. Looking around, the matter of being a cultivator was a secret, and if seen, it would be known to the whole world.
"Hmph, I ca to you because sothing important is going on." Dongfang Lian’s hands moved slowly from Ye Shikai’s shoulders to his neck, then... swish, a dagger popped out from her right sleeve.
"What the hell, what are you doing?" Ye Shikai was shocked feeling the cold tal against his neck. What exactly did Dongfang Lian want? Luckily, no one around saw it.
"Are you investigating my father’s cause of death?" Dongfang Lian asked harshly.
"Of course, I have people investigating. It’s just that so urgent matters have co up, causing a delay." Ye Shikai hurriedly responded.
"Hmph, busy with your honeymoon, right? People like you are bound to be abandoned by everyone sooner or later." Dongfang Lian coldly snorted.
"It’s not just that." Ye Shikai extended his hand, pushing the dagger away from his neck. "A major event occurred in the Netherworld Palace. Ghost was attacked and lost his mory in the East Sea. We are now helping him recover his mory," Ye Shikai explained.
"Excuses. You n just love making excuses." Dongfang Lian pressed the dagger against his neck again with a bit more force. Ye Shikai was now sowhat worried. If she lost control and thrust it down, things would get dire. However... her words sounded so strange, as if Ye Shikai had hurt her feelings.
"What do you want to do then? Ignore everything else and focus only on your matters? Besides, it’s been so long since..."
"Shut up, say one more word, and I’ll cut your tongue out," Dongfang Lian threatened coldly. As soon as she finished, Ye Shikai found the opportunity. He suddenly stood, pushed the dagger away, then instantly sat in Dongfang Lian’s seat. He was so swift that even people nearby hadn’t noticed.
"I have a temper too, you know." Ye Shikai sat calmly. Since returning from Bai Qi’s Relics, he had broken through the sixth stage of the Emperor Xuan Scripture, greatly enhancing his strength. Dongfang Lian was no longer his opponent.
"Alright, I’ll keep your situation in mind. Rest assured, since I’ve promised you, I will fulfill my commitnt and at least... give you an explanation."
"Wait a minute, I’m not letting you go yet." Dongfang Lian quickly called after Ye Shikai.
"Is there sothing else?"
"Sit down, let’s chat about sothing else." Dongfang Lian put away the dagger, sat in Ye Shikai’s seat, and downed a cup of coffee.
"Hey, that was my coff..."
"What’s wrong?" Dongfang Lian looked up, puzzled.
"Uh, never mind, it’s nothing."
"I have other things to discuss." Dongfang Lian continued, "Actually, I know everything about your situation. These days, I also sent people to East Sea City to monitor your every move," Dongfang Lian said calmly, as if stating sothing very ordinary.
"What the hell, you were surveilling ?" Ye Shikai slamd the table in shock.
"So what?"
"You’re also a university teacher, right? Don’t you know that surveillance and stalking are illegal?" Ye Shikai countered, wondering what on earth Dongfang Lian was thinking, acting as if doing harmful things for her own benefit was perfectly justified.
"Do I need to reason with you?"
Alright, Ye Shikai understood. Dongfang Lian wasn’t targeting everyone, just him...
"Okay, I get it. You’re just here to give a hard ti. I’m leaving now."
"Wait, let’s talk business," Dongfang Lian quickly said. "Do you have any plans after your honeymoon in Europe?"
