"Is that so, then forget it." Ye Shikai lay on the bed, scrolling through his phone, seemingly reading so news. Chen Yuxin had also changed into her pajamas and lay down beside him, not expecting that as soon as she got under the covers, Ye Shikai deliberately or unintentionally moved toward the other side, as if intending to distance himself from her.
"Kai, actually, Ghost hadn’t prepared a gift at all, right?" Chen Yuxin said out of the blue.
"How could that be? It’s just that the gift is rather special, don’t be anxious."
"Kai, you understand too well, you don’t need to hide it from ." Chen Yuxin said blandly, though her tone was light, there was a hint of "gunpowder" in it, not sure if it was because of prejudice against Ghost and others, or because of... the call from Su Qingyu just now.
"Sigh, can’t hide anything from you." In the end, seeing the lie revealed, Ye Shikai could only admit helplessly, "You ca here in a rush; they had no ti to prepare."
"Haha, Kai, do you think I would get angry for such a reason?" Chen Yuxin chuckled softly.
"I just wanted to ease the relationship between you, so I lied." Ye Shikai sincerely apologized. From today’s observations, he realized that although Chen Yuxin verbally didn’t mind what happened last ti, deep down she still harbored grudges. Ye Shikai didn’t want things to escalate; as for the gift, it wasn’t about significance but just a gesture.
"Kai, you still don’t understand the reason I’m doing all this." Chen Yuxin turned her head and stared into his eyes, speaking coldly.
"What reason?"
"I’m doing this all for you." Suddenly, Chen Yuxin began to cry, leaving him at a loss. Just now everything was fine, why did she start crying?
"Xin, don’t cry." Ye Shikai held her in his arms to comfort her.
"The Netherworld Palace’s power is vast; if one day they rebel against you, how will you withstand it?" Once Chen Yuxin cald down, she began to share her heartfelt concerns.
"That’s impossible... you’re overthinking it." Ye Shikai couldn’t help but laugh, thinking if even Ghost could betray him, then who could be a trusted confidant?
"You’ve seen too little, since the day you entered the Netherworld Palace, you’ve never been involved in power struggles, so you don’t understand." Chen Yuxin’s face suddenly showed a look of disgust, "Only those close can harm fundantally; if you’re not on guard, there will co a day you’ll be hard by them, even if there’s no rebellious intent now, it’s hard to say in the future."
Ye Shikai was stunned listening, was this still the sa Chen Yuxin? Absolutely not, perhaps these years of family struggles had indeed changed a person’s nature completely, even a blank sheet of paper, after being in family’s deep and muddled "waters," would get colored in various hues.
"The last incident is an example. Miss Ji is the eldest daughter of the Ji Family, harboring scheming, just that she never shows it to you. Kai, now that I’m with you, she’s surely not content, and while you’re lax in managing the Netherworld Palace, she’s begun recruiting Ghost. When the ti cos, if she makes a move, no one will be able to stop it." Chen Yuxin continued, her expression serious.
"You really are overthinking it; Ghost is just following Ji Qian’s instructions, and she’s definitely not that kind of person." Ye Shikai shook his head. When he and Su Qingyu got married, Ji Qian was heartbroken, but once she heard Ye Shikai was in danger, she risked coming to rescue. If she were really the kind of "person" Chen Yuxin described, it wouldn’t be like this, people who let love turn into hate are the scariest.
"Kai, you just trust people around you too much, a loyal minister doesn’t serve two masters. From this incident, you can see only Jeddon did this, so I want to cultivate him as your power." Chen Yuxin spoke earnestly, however, Ye Shikai seed a bit impatient "Alright, I understand your good intentions, I’m tired today, going to sleep first, you’re still pregnant, don’t worry about so many things, sleep early."
.....................
Ji Family.
"Damn, that bastard man."
"Jerk, scumbag."
In a delicately decorated room, a teenage girl picked up a porcelain piece from the table and smashed it into pieces on the ground.
A single vase worth three hundred thousand was worthless as dung in the girl’s eyes, as if she had smashed an ordinary glass bottle, without the slightest regret.
The girl was the second young lady of the Ji Family, Ji Yu.
"Miss, what are you doing?" The maid outside the room rushed forward, holding Ji Yu back, preventing her from doing anything dangerous. These days, she’s been in such a state; the maids clean up the fragnts daily, replace them with new decorations, only for them to be smashed again by the girl.
"What has made you so angry?" At this mont, a hearty voice ca from outside the door, and a middle-aged man in a white long robe slowly walked in.
"Family Head."
"Family Head."
The maids saw the newcor and all curtsied.
"Dismiss." The newcor was the head of the Ji Family, Ji Tao.
"Father, why are you here?" Upon seeing the man, although still upset, Ji Yu had to temper her attitude in front of her father.
"If I don’t co, all the porcelain in the house will be broken to pieces by you." Ji Tao joked with a smile "So, who are you angry with? You’ve been like this since the day before yesterday."
"It’s that scumbag Ye Shikai." Ji Yu gritted her teeth like she wanted to bite soone.
"Ye Shikai, you an Mr. Ye, right?" Ji Tao thought for a while and finally rembered the na.
"What Mr., just a bastard."
"I heard he’s about to marry that girl from the Chen family, it even made the news." Ji Tao said slowly, "I had looked into his background; surely not a simple person."
"Father, your focus should be on his marriage history. Just a few days ago, he just divorced Su Qingyu, and now he’s rushing to get married again?" Ji Yu felt greatly aggrieved, apparently for Ji Qian, thinking that after he divorced, he would marry Ji Qian and take responsibility. Unexpectedly, he went to marry Chen Yuxin instead.
"That’s their freedom, why are you so upset?"
"He... sigh, forget it, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you." Ji Yu didn’t disclose the relationship between Ye Shikai and Ji Qian, thinking this matter should be revealed by Ji Qian herself.
"Let tell you so good news." Ji Tao suddenly smiled, "Your sister is coming back."
"What, Father, you an Sis is coming back?"
"Yes, she told personally, I’ve already sent soone to fetch her."
