Yanjing, riverside.
Ye Shikai walked alone by the river, night had fallen, and a cool breeze blew. Without Inner Strength now, he couldn’t have forced his way out; perhaps Chen Yuxin worried about his ntal state, so she unexpectedly agreed to his request. Speaking of which, Chen Yuxin’s worry wasn’t unfounded. Back when he was with Su Qingyu, he was never "peaceful," and if not for Su Qingyu’s calm nature, they might have already quarreled and gone cold. But now... thinking about it doesn’t an much anymore.
Ye Shikai still looked haggard. After going through so much, his mindset had changed. Soone once said that when a person experiences many major events, the confusion inside them resolves naturally.
Ye Shikai and Chen Yuxin’s relationship is quite delicate, and it keeps evolving. The key to marital longevity lies in the ability to endure together. Before marriage, couples are like differently sized gears; marriage grinds them continuously. Those who fit together naturally can grow old together, but others may end up hurting each other.
Blowing in the riverside’s evening breeze, gazing at the bustling city across the banks, many thoughts flashed through Ye Shikai’s mind. At this mont, everything felt clear; past experiences flowed in his mind like a movie...
As he kept thinking, Ye Shikai stood by the river like a statue. It was already dawn, and nearby passersby had left. Even the vehicles on the street were sparse.
At this mont, a luxury car slowly drove up and stopped behind Ye Shikai. Its noise was light, seemingly to avoid disturbing Ye Shikai’s thoughts.
A woman got out of the car, a breathtaking woman whose every move enchanted people. Naturally, it was Chen Yuxin. Perhaps because it was late, the guards assigned to Ye Shikai by the Chen family worried about his safety and dared not disturb the "son-in-law," so they reported the situation to Chen Ruoya and conveyed it to Chen Yuxin.
Chen Yuxin didn’t worry that Ji Qian would take Ye Shikai away. Yanjing was the turf of the Ji Family as well as the Chen Family, and Ji Tao wouldn’t allow Ji Qian to detain her husband, Chen Yuxin. Emotionally and rationally, the Ji Family would lose face or even bring sha. Moreover, beside Ye Shikai, Chen Yuxin had secretly arranged two Divine Separation experts and a dozen Out-of-Body Stage guards. Even if the four generals of Netherworld Palace were here, they couldn’t capture him easily.
"What’s wrong, Kai? You’ve been standing here for hours; let’s go ho." Chen Yuxin walked up to him, gently leaned on his shoulder.
"Let’s go." Ye Shikai turned and left, entering the car with Chen Yuxin. However, around them, dozens of people were "lying in ambush."
"Nightmare, why haven’t we moved yet?" Demoness saw the car start and couldn’t help but shout.
"It’s the lord’s order." Nightmare sighed; Ye Shikai’s phone was with Chen Yuxin, but Ji Qian gave him a phone to communicate secretly. However, the first command sent from this rescue phone instructed Nightmare to keep people idle nearby; no matter who ca, they shouldn’t act but quietly protect.
"What’s going on? What is the lord thinking?" Demoness fiercely wanted to stand up, and Soul Destroyer quickly pulled her down. It was dawn, quiet everywhere, even a slight sound could be heard. If Chen Yuxin discovered them, it might bring them embarrassnt.
"I think he has his plans. Relax, Ghost Shadow is still in the Chen family; recently, Chen Yuxin hasn’t gone too far, maybe she discovered her conscience."
"Hmph, I don’t think so." Demoness murmured, but they had to obey Ye Shikai’s orders. They couldn’t track him, so they had to retreat.
On the road.
"Kai, you’re scaring ." Sitting in the car, Chen Yuxin felt Ye Shikai emit a faint chill like an iceberg, making Chen Yuxin uncomfortable. Living with a person without emotions, anyone would struggle.
"Really? Sorry, I’ve been feeling down lately." Ye Shikai shook his head, his tone so flat, making Chen Yuxin worry if her actions made Ye Shikai unruly ntally.
"Kai, are you still mad at ? Sorry, it was my fault before. I’ll change; whatever you want, I’ll change." As Chen Yuxin spoke, she gripped Ye Shikai’s arm tightly, refusing to let go. She started to panic; of course, she worried Ye Shikai might leave her and their unborn child. Equally, she feared Ye Shikai might ignore her, live on separate terms under the sa roof...
"I’m not angry."
"You clearly are angry." Before Ye Shikai could finish, Chen Yuxin shouted, not out of anger but urgency. She wished Ye Shikai was simply "angry." At least, no matter how big the rage, it eventually fades. But if the heart turns cold, it can’t be ward again...
"Master, the house is reached."
"Get out of here." Chen Yuxin shouted, and the driver lacking tact dared interrupt them now. Frightened by Chen Yuxin’s scream, he stepped out of the car, running as far as he could.
"Alright, don’t stress out. I’ve just been a bit moody. You’ve been pregnant for months; it’s not good to get angry." Ye Shikai lightly shook his head, checked his watch, "It’s already dawn, go upstairs and rest quickly, staying up late isn’t good."

East Sea.
"All the dishes are local East Sea flavors. Apologies for the modest hospitality." Zheng Ji very politely led Ghost and Gu Xin into the private room. Throughout this, Gu Xin’s gaze was on Zheng Ji— not infatuated with Mr. Zheng’s rich vibe, rely confirming his identity. After all, Gu Xin couldn’t react, never expecting it would be real. An heir of East Sea’s wealthy family would be so familiar with Ghost, even being respectful to him. During the dean’s eting, Zheng Ji was treated cordially by the dean himself, despite being an elder speaking to a young man, in a humble tone. Unimaginable that such a "renowned" young man treated a "hospital security guard" so politely.
"Mr. Zheng is too kind; eating here could cost two months’ salary." Ghost joked.
