Chapter 558: Chapter 558: The More One Tries to Hide, the More One Is Exposed
Brother, you’ve really saved big ti this ti, Ye Shikai felt secretly delighted in his heart. Indeed, the ssage he had just sent was to Wang Kai. He had originally wanted soone to attract attention, and after much thought, Wang Kai was the most suitable candidate.
“Hey, Old Ye, you…”
“What, sothing happened over there? What’s the situation, so urgent? Don’t worry, I’ll be there right away.” Ye Shikai’s rapid-fire speech effectively silenced Wang Kai on the other end of the phone. With an ergency at hand and the ssage not explaining why, Ye Shikai now had to put on a bit of an act.
“Old Ye, you…”
“Beep beep.” Before Wang Kai could continue, Ye Shikai hung up the phone. The less said, the better. Now, it was ti to make a quick getaway.
“Xin, sothing urgent ca up, I need to head out right away.” Ye Shikai got up with a serious face and quickly changed back into his original clothes, planning to make a quick escape.
“Wait a second.” Suddenly, Chen Yuxin sprang out, blocking Ye Shikai’s path.
“Xin, I’ll get really mad if you keep this up.” Ye Shikai feigned anger, tidied up his clothes, and prepared to leave.
“Wait a second, I want to go with you.” Chen Yuxin stamped her feet in urgency, but Ye Shikai had no intention of taking her with him. After all, that would be like shooting himself in the foot. Fortunately, Chen Yuxin was wearing pajamas, and surely she wouldn’t go out like that. If she went to change her clothes, Ye Shikai could make his escape imdiately.
“There’s no ti, an ergency, I have to go now, wait for to return.” As he spoke, Ye Shikai quickly walked away and went to turn the doorknob, only to find the door wouldn’t budge. Ye Shikai nearly passed out from frustration. Why was this Array everywhere?
“Xin, quickly undo the Array.” Ye Shikai really wanted to curse out loud, deciding at the sa ti that he must learn how to break this Array, otherwise he would always be trapped.
“Let change my clothes.”
As soon as Ye Shikai turned around, he saw Chen Yuxin slowly shedding her pajamas, and to make matters worse, she seed not to be wearing anything underneath… Ye Shikai imdiately turned back, chanting in his mind, “Eyes off, eyes off.” To be honest, even eight years ago, their relationship wasn’t close enough to be “completely open and honest” with one another.
“You, you, you, go change in the bathroom, I’m still here,” shouted Ye Shikai.
“Kai, do I look beautiful?”
“You are beautiful (sister).”
Ye Shikai threw himself at the door handle, using all his strength to try to open it. Under normal circumstances, his Inner Strength was enough to tear down a whole wall, but under the influence of the Array, he could only open a small slit in the door.
“Hehe.” Chen Ruoya chuckled lightly, quickly changed into casual attire, and with a few hand gestures, she easily opened the door.
Don’t look back, just run.
Ye Shikai dashed out of the Chen family’s mansion and was about to get into a car when he suddenly realized that he had arrived in Chen Yuxin’s car…
Five minutes later.
As the Rolls-Royce slowly drove up to him, Chen Yuxin grabbed his hand with a beaming smile and led him straight into the car.
Ye Shikai really wanted to smash the car door with a kick.
“Xin, could you let go of my hand?” Ye Shikai couldn’t bear Chen Yuxin’s affectionate gaze and pulled his arm out of her “bondage.”
“Kai, the food stall is just ahead, just wait a little bit.” Indeed, the place Ye Shikai was headed to was a well-known food stall. He had thought of this spot on the fly during his rushed coordination of stories with Wang Kai, due to the pressing ti, he had chosen this location for the etup.
Now Ye Shikai truly felt the weight of the saying, that one lie would need countless others to cover it up…
Places like food stalls are known for their casual atmosphere, and people co here for the joy of eating. Madams bred in the lap of luxury like Chen Yuxin probably wouldn’t set foot in such a place.
“Old Ye, over here, over here.” Just as Ye Shikai arrived at the food stall, he saw Wang Kai waving at him from afar. Upon closer inspection, Wang Kai had already ordered a table full of food.
“Gulp gulp gulp… Pff…” After guzzling down a beer, Wang Kai suddenly saw a stunningly beautiful woman appear in front of him, intimately holding Ye Shikai’s hand, which shocked him into spraying the beer out of his mouth.
“Old Ye, who’s this?” Wang Kai exclaid. Even though his eyesight wasn’t great, he was certain this was not Su Qingyu. As he pondered, a sly smile appeared on his face.
“I’m his fiancee.” A simple answer brought Wang Kai and Ye Shikai to a sudden halt. The previously bustling food stall seed to chill instantly, and ti seed to slow down for a fraction of a second, during which Ye Shikai and Wang Kai exchanged a simple yet complicated look…
Wang Kai: Old Ye, what’s this about? Cheating before the wedding?
Ye Shikai: It’s complicated, I’ll explain later.
Wang Kai: So you’ve beco a scumbag now.
Ye Shikai: Would you shut up?
Wang Kai: How could you do this? If you cheat, how am I supposed to pursue Qingzi?
Ye Shikai: …………
“Oh oh, let’s sit down and eat together then.” Wang Kai laughed awkwardly and waved his hand. The waiter served up a cold beer.
“Cough cough, Xin, this is my good friend, Wang Kai. He has also recently returned to Yanjing from abroad,” Ye Shikai quickly explained.
“Hello.” Chen Yuxin nodded slightly and said indifferently, “I heard you had an urgent matter to discuss with my fiance.”
“Err, that… haha… just a small personal matter…” Wang Kai suddenly found himself at a loss for words and could only smile awkwardly while scratching his head.
“Xin, Old Wang here wants to borrow money. He’s just too embarrassed to say it because you’re here.” Ye Shikai hurriedly lied, seemingly becoming quite adept at lying without a blush or a skipped heartbeat.
“Really, Old Wang, making such a big deal over borrowing money on the phone, you scared to death,” Ye Shikai feigned a reproachful tone, poured himself a drink, and eased the tension.
“Yes, I do feel a bit embarrassed,” Wang Kai followed the lead, adopting an embarrassed expression.
“In that case, let loan it on his behalf,” Chen Yuxin revealed a knowing smile.
“No.”
“No.”
Both n spoke in unison and then looked at each other…
“What’s wrong?” Chen Yuxin smiled softly, her goddess-like smile captivating the nearby n.
“Xin, let lend it to him; you don’t need to get involved,” Ye Shikai said with a laugh, lightening the awkward mood.
“Cough cough, Xin, the food here is really good. You should try so,” Ye Shikai picked up chopsticks and offered a dish to Chen Yuxin.
“Yeah, that… sister-in-law, this dish is pretty good. You should give it a taste.”
