Chapter 878: Chapter 878: Su Qingyu Apologizes
Looking at the situation between the two won, it seed like it wasn’t an act. Perhaps this was “tacit understanding.” Ye Shikai was hugged by the two won on his left and right. The three of them lay on the bed, and he found himself unable to move. Besides, the two won clung to him like two octopuses, making it difficult to break free.
“Alright, let’s just leave it at that.” Ye Shikai sighed, with the drunkenness rising within him. He felt utterly weak, and he had no idea how expensive this bed was that it was so soft, making him reluctant to get up once he lay down. He turned to look at the two won, both already asleep, muttering in their sleep. He tried to listen, but the dizziness in his head made his hearing foggy, and his eyelids grew increasingly heavy. Before long, he fell asleep.
The next day.
“Where am I?” Ye Shikai slowly opened his eyes, greeted by a dazzling white ceiling. It felt like he had a dream. In the darkness, he was being firmly pressed by two soft ‘objects,’ wanting to open his eyes, but his eyelids refused to cooperate, and there was a constant dullness in his chest.
Everyone who gets drunk knows there’s a ‘fragnt’ between complete intoxication and waking up, which is the most mysterious. It’s said that one speaks the truth after drinking, aning that after getting drunk, you have no inhibitions, and you let out all the feelings you usually bottle up. Also, physical actions beco ‘unconscious.’
The scariest part of this fragnt is that after regaining consciousness, there’s no mory of that period in your mind. In other words, even Ye Shikai himself had no idea what happened.
He vaguely rembered drinking last night. He brought the two won here to rest, and then it seed… he also fell asleep.
A drunken tryst. Thinking of this, Ye Shikai thought imdiately of that first.
That was truly terrifying.
Ye Shikai was shocked into a start, sitting up abruptly, and when he looked down, he saw his clothes were still on, though sowhat wrinkled, and even his pants were still intact. He let out a breath of relief. It seed like what he imagined hadn’t happened. Otherwise, he should be stripped bare by now…
Raising his head, he saw Ji Qian and Luo Shiqi sitting neatly on chairs nearby, both looking tense. Ye Shikai’s heart skipped a beat again. Could it really have happened?
“Ahem, um… good morning.” Ye Shikai was very awkward and didn’t know what to say.
“It’s already afternoon,” Ji Qian said flatly, making Ye Shikai feel even more awkward. People usually wake up late after getting drunk. Who would’ve thought he would sleep so long after being drunk last night?
“Ahem, last night… was there anything… you know.” Ye Shikai asked awkwardly.
“Don’t think too much. Last night we just… slept in the sa bed.” Luo Shiqi intended to sound righteous but suddenly lost her montum. It seed like she didn’t have much reason to stand her ground either. Ji Qian’s face started to blush at this point. If it had just been her and Ye Shikai spending the night, it might not have caused such a reaction since they were practically a ‘married couple.’ But this ti, it was awkward since it was Luo Shiqi and Ji Qian both with Ye Shikai in the sa bed.
“You two were really sothing last night, drinking so much and making drink so much too.” Ye Shikai coughed lightly. Since nothing happened, the matter wasn’t serious.
“Hmph, mind your own business. I drink as much as I want.” Luo Shiqi was not convinced and shot back directly.
“Yes, Miss Luo welcos . What’s it to you?” Ji Qian joined in, echoing her while Ye Shikai couldn’t help but feel irritated. What was this? The two of them were at odds last night, yet today they’d aligned on a ‘common front,’ and it ended up all being Ye Shikai’s responsibility.
Well played. This ‘black pot,’ Ye Shikai would bear alone.
Luckily nothing happened, or Ye Shikai would have been even more unsettled.
“You’re clearly a cultivator, yet you got drunk deliberately, right?” Ye Shikai pulled Ji Qian aside to a secluded corner. With both won present, they were unwilling to admit fault, but now Ye Shikai could ‘lecture’ her alone.
“She’s not a cultivator either. If she can drink, why can’t I?” Ji Qian said plainly, proving again that she simply didn’t want to concede.
“Then why did you make drink so much?” Ye Shikai clearly rembered how awful it was to drink so much last night, almost to the point of vomiting.
“I… couldn’t drink anymore.”
I give up.
………………………
The welco party thrown for the Moon God Temple ended with all three getting drunk. No doubt after last night, the National Security Bureau, Boss Xing, major families, the Main God Temple, the Dark List, and various assassin and rcenary groups knew the Moon God Temple had arrived in Yanjing.
At ho.
“Qingyu, this is a gift for you.” Ye Shikai handed over a diamond necklace. “It’s from a European master craftsman.”
“It’s beautiful.” Su Qingyu accepted the necklace, a faint smile appearing on her face. After all, won love these little ‘surprises,’ and Su Qingyu was no exception. Thankfully, Ye Shikai was rich. Otherwise, who could afford to spend millions of euros on a ‘small gift’ for his wife?
“So, how was your trip to unwind?” Su Qingyu placed the necklace in the jewelry box, sat in a chair, and casually asked.
“Well, over the past few days, I’ve visited many places. Without realizing it, I’ve found answers to so of the questions in my heart.” Ye Shikai sighed a long breath. Previously, the pressure on him was too great, and he complicated so issues. After easing his mind and body, he figured things out.
“It was my fault before. I shouldn’t have pushed you.” Suddenly, Su Qingyu blurted out an unexpected apology.
“Ha.” Ye Shikai couldn’t believe his ears. Just now… Did Su Qingyu apologize to him? For real? In his impression, Su Qingyu rarely conceded directly. Usually, he was the one to offer a way out.
Could it be that, during these days, Su Qingyu also ca to realize…
But no matter what, seeing this scenario, it seed Su Qingyu really wouldn’t pressure Ye Shikai to find a so-called ‘stable livelihood’ anymore. Thus, he wouldn’t have to worry every day.
“Maybe it’s just that I don’t really understand you. As a wife, I didn’t stand in your shoes, and that was my mistake.” Su Qingyu dropped her head, a look of contrition on her face. Ye Shikai really wondered if he was dreaming. Su Qingyu was apologizing with such a significant ‘concession.’
“Actually… it’s not a big deal. You want to live a plain and simple life, which cos from good intentions. Qingyu, that day will co, but it will take so ti.” With Su Qingyu saying this, Ye Shikai wouldn’t be relentlessly reproaching her; on the contrary, her apology made him feel guilty. He silently vowed to himself to give Su Qingyu the happy and peaceful life she wanted.
