Chapter 580: Chapter 580: A Small Test
Seeing the situation, Chen Yuxin felt an infinite sense of loss and was also very anxious. What she feared most was that Ye Shikai would dislike her and leave her. Hearing his words, she beca impatient and grabbed his arm.
“You’ve killed my n, what more do you want?” Ye Shikai said coldly, showing a fierce look in his eyes for the first ti towards Chen Yuxin, his anger mixed with a hint of hatred.
“Kai, I was wrong about that incident. I told them to stop afterwards, but I did not expect them to directly resort to assassination.” Chen Yuxin’s face showed guilt. She would never understand the feelings Ye Shikai had for his subordinates; they were the ones who had battled by his side, and those transferred to the Yanjing base were even closer confidants. The heavy casualties pained Ye Shikai’s heart.
“I don’t want to talk to you right now.” Ye Shikai gestured with his hand, “Xin, I’ve imagined countless tis what you would be like in the future. I thought you would change, but I never expected you to change so much.” With that, Ye Shikai turned and walked away.
Disappointedly to the extre.
Ye Shikai walked ahead, and Chen Yuxin followed him, maintaining a distance of seven or eight ters. Half an hour later, Ye Shikai’s anger subsided, and the alcohol effect wore off, so he found a bench to sit on.
“Why are you still following ?” Ye Shikai asked, looking at Chen Yuxin in front of him, speaking helplessly.
“I’m waiting for your anger to die down.” Seeing this, a bit of relief finally appeared on Chen Yuxin’s worried face. She knew Ye Shikai well; as long as he cald down, it would be her chance to apologize.
“It’s getting dark, you should hurry back,” Ye Shikai said, turning his face away to avoid looking at her.
“What about you?”
“I’ll find a hotel to stay in later,” Ye Shikai replied unconvincingly.
“Lies.” Chen Yuxin sat down beside Ye Shikai and smiled, “You didn’t bring your ID with you, how could you stay at a hotel?”
Ye Shikai sighed. Indeed, he hadn’t brought his ID with him when he left, and even with money, he couldn’t stay anywhere now. It seed Chen Yuxin must have gone through his wallet while he was unconscious.
“Kai, it was my fault that my n injured yours. I won’t make the sa mistake again, and I will compensate your n. I’ll have soone transfer money to their families right now,” Chen Yuxin’s face showed remorse, and she apologized with her head lowered, having thought it through. Ye Shikai’s anger towards her earlier was mainly for this reason.
“Sigh, I don’t want to talk about this anymore.” Ye Shikai massaged his temples. He also felt responsible for the incident and wouldn’t shirk it off. The guards of the Chen family acted out of safety concerns; it was their duty, after all.
“Alright, then co back to the hotel with . You have nowhere else to stay, and it’s so cold outside,” Chen Yuxin said, and suddenly a chill wind blew.
“Forget it, I’ll just sleep on the park bench. Soone will co to get tomorrow.” Ye Shikai shook his head and refused. He now had a psychological shadow over being alone with Chen Yuxin.
“No way, it’s too cold. Kai, just co with ,” Chen Yuxin said, outright refusing and reaching out to pull Ye Shikai.
“Hey, the girl looks pretty good,” said six n who approached from a distance, likely local thugs, attracted by Chen Yuxin’s beauty and trying to strike up a conversation.
“Sweetheart, if your boyfriend doesn’t want you, co with us,” one of the thugs walked forward, trying to harass Chen Yuxin but she dodged. Chen Yuxin’s face darkened; as a high-ranking person, she was now being harassed by riffraff. Just as she was about to use her Inner Strength, Ye Shikai stopped her, giving her a subtle look and signaling not to kill anyone.
“I’m giving you a chance to scram imdiately,” Chen Yuxin said coldly.
“Feisty little lady, aren’t you?” A thug chuckled as he stepped forward, reaching out to harass her, only to have his wrist abruptly seized by a jade hand. With a fierce twist, his hand was turned 180 degrees. The man cried out in pain, and with a single push from Chen Yuxin, he was shoved to the ground.
“Get her.” The other five sprang into action, but they were no match for Chen Yuxin. Even without using her Inner Strength, her martial arts skills were more than enough to dispatch them with ease.
“Don’t you dare co closer.” Seeing what happened, one of them panicked, pulled out a small knife from behind, and shouted at Chen Yuxin, before charging at her. Unexpectedly, Chen Yuxin didn’t dodge or even defend herself, instead, she just watched as the knife was stabbed towards her chest.
“Bang.” A shadow flashed by, and the knife-wielding thug turned into a broken-stringed kite, kicked seven or eight ters away, and sent flying into the greenery.
“Why didn’t you block?” The one who intervened was, of course, Ye Shikai, who now couldn’t help but reproach Chen Yuxin for her actions.
“Aw, are you worried about ?” Chen Yuxin chuckled slyly. Her goal had been achieved. As a powerful cultivator, she could have easily dodged that knife even if it was already at her throat. Her actions were all to test Ye Shikai.
“I don’t want anyone around to get hurt, for any reason,” Ye Shikai said indifferently, turning his head only to find that the thugs had run off without a trace. It was unfortunate to go wandering late at night and encounter a female demon.
……………………
In the end, Ye Shikai still couldn’t stand up to Chen Yuxin. Although Jiangnan wasn’t Yanjing, as a wealthy and influential person, Chen Yuxin enjoyed top-tier treatnt wherever she went.
Like the villa in front of them, for example.
“I sotis co to Jiangnan for business, or to visit my great-grandfather, so I simply had soone buy a villa here,” Chen Yuxin explained to Ye Shikai.
“Family Head, I’ll take my leave now,” Chen Ruoya said as she led them into the villa, then left.
“Kai, you sleep in this room. I’ll sleep upstairs. There are clothes and toiletries available,” Chen Yuxin transford into the image of a virtuous wife in a second, but this ti she didn’t pull Ye Shikai to sleep with her. Probably she didn’t want to provoke him. Chen Yuxin had thought it through; pressuring Ye Shikai might just make him annoyed.
“I’m going to watch TV in the living room for a bit; you go ahead upstairs,” Ye Shikai said indifferently.
“Alright then, I’m going up,” Chen Yuxin said with a gentle smile before heading upstairs on her own.
Everything seed peaceful. Ye Shikai looked around; Chen Yuxin didn’t co back down to “disturb” him. Maybe he was overthinking this ti, or perhaps he was just being overly sensitive. Ye Shikai found a few movies to watch; it had been a long ti since he felt as relaxed as he did now.
“Kai, I’ve finished bathing. Would you like so fruit?” At that mont, the sound of “thump thump thump” ca from the stairs, as Chen Yuxin descended in a bathrobe.
“Sure,” Ye Shikai said, still watching the TV, without turning his head.
“Okay, I’ll go to the kitchen and cut the fruit.”
