The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 66 - 66 66 Conversation with Ji Qian

66: Chapter 66: Conversation with Ji Qian 66: Chapter 66: Conversation with Ji Qian “I’m sorry.” After being silent for several minutes, Ye Shikai spoke first, his tone filled with self-reproach and shame.

He had deeply hurt the woman before him, then like a coward, silently returned to Huaxia.

And now, she had come back and saved him at his most dangerous moment.

If it weren’t for her timely stabilization of the energy within his body, who knows what would have happened…

“Is a simple sorry enough?” Ji Qian said coldly, her eyes rimmed red as she stared intently at the man she loved and hated.

She wanted to hate him, but couldn’t bring herself to do so.

Ye Shikai was at a loss for words.

Saying sorry at this moment seemed more like an afterthought, but it truly was a heartfelt apology, and beyond that, he didn’t know what else to say.

“Do you love her?” Ji Qian asked.

Hearing this, Ye Shikai abruptly raised his head.

The “her” Ji Qian was referring to was obviously Su Qingyu, whom he had already mentioned on the day he returned to Huaxia that he was back to get married.

“I…” Ye Shikai intended to say “love,” but as the words reached his lips, he hesitated.

Did he truly love Su Qingyu, or was it merely fondness, or perhaps for some other reason?

To say “love” casually is truly irresponsible; he didn’t want to lie to Ji Qian, nor deceive himself.

“I will always protect her,” Ye Shikai then asserted firmly.

Even if she was only his wife in name, he was determined to protect her.

That was what a man should do.

The next time something happens with Su Qingyu’s company, he would immediately take money from the Netherworld Palace to cover the company’s deficits.

He had even risked his life to protect Luo Shiqi when she was in trouble; as his wife Su Qingyu, even if he had to trade his life for hers, he would save her.

“Does she love you?” Ji Qian asked again.

“Probably…

doesn’t.” Ye Shikai answered, which was an undeniable truth so far.

Su Qingyu had always been somewhat indifferent towards him, at most they were merely good acquaintances.

Otherwise, Su Qingyu wouldn’t have kept their marriage a secret until now and kept it hidden from everyone.

However, Ye Shikai didn’t blame her, considering this marriage was also unfair to her.

If it were her, randomly pulling a man off the streets and telling him they had a marriage arrangement to marry wouldn’t likely be accepted either.

“She doesn’t love you at all, and you returned to Huaxia just for her?” Ji Qian’s cold face unexpectedly showed a hint of jealousy, but it was just a hint.

More than that, her face conveyed resentment, helplessness, and sadness.

“You’d rather abandon me for her, do you forget…”

“Stop talking, I’m sorry, I owe you an apology.” Ye Shikai cut off Ji Qian’s words, being reminded of those things that happened abroad only made him feel more guilty.

After a long silence, Ji Qian sighed deeply, her eyes filled with deep melancholy, “The energy in that stone today triggered your Demon Addiction, I’ve already helped suppress it, cough cough…” Before she could finish talking, Ji Qian coughed twice, her complexion turning pale.

It seemed that suppressing the energy in her body had drained much of her Inner Strength.

Seeing this, Ye Shikai felt even more heartache; he owed her too much, and today he owed her a huge favor.

Ye Shikai reached out and held Ji Qian’s shoulders.

“You can’t overuse your Inner Strength anymore, or if the Demon Addiction acts up again, I’ll see what you’d do.” Ji Qian said, her tone still carrying some blame.

If it hadn’t been for her return to Huaxia today, Ye Shikai might have succumbed to madness.

“What…

You’re not staying in Huaxia?” Hearing this, Ye Shikai suddenly realized, could it be that Ji Qian was going back?

“I hate~ this place.” Ji Qian turned her head away, her face becoming fearsome momentarily, chilling to behold.

She spoke through gritted teeth – a frightening tone indeed.

Since Ji Qian had turned away, Ye Shikai couldn’t see her expression.

“Then why did you come here today?” Ye Shikai suddenly thought that encountering that stone today was entirely because Su Qingyu had taken him to the venue, and the moment he got into trouble, Ji Qian appeared.

This could only mean she was at the venue earlier, and her return to Huaxia today must have been for another reason.

“I came to see him.” Ji Qian said coldly, her gaze as chilling as if she were looking at her enemy.

“I’m going back to Europe tomorrow.

There are matters to attend to in the Moon God Temple.” Ji Qian said, suddenly her eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent.

“The Fox Hunter Killer Group, I’ve already wiped them out.”

“It was you who wiped them out.” Ye Shikai sighed lightly, not surprised.

Ghost had mentioned to him before that the Fox Hunter Killer Group had disappeared overnight, as if vanished from the face of the earth.

It turned out to be the doing of some power, and Ye Shikai had thought of Ji Qian’s involvement.

With such a strong power and in-depth knowledge of the foreign underworld, very few people could fit that profile.

Making this deduction wasn’t hard.

“You refrained from using the power of the Netherworld Palace because you’re afraid of drawing attention, right?” Ji Qian stated.

“You’re right, I didn’t destroy them because I didn’t want outside forces to notice my presence in Huaxia, after all… now there’s not just me, there’s also…”

“Enough, I don’t want to hear about her.” Ji Qian interrupted Ye Shikai abruptly, agitated.

“You better go back, don’t keep her waiting.”

“Okay, then you… take care.” Ye Shikai’s tone was apologetic and reluctant.

Before he could finish, Ji Qian had already turned and left.

Watching her back, Ye Shikai sighed deeply and then turned towards the hotel.

“Where did you go?” Upon arriving at the hotel, he saw the women anxiously waiting at the entrance.

Seeing him return, Luo Shiqi was the first to rush up, while Su Qingyu and Su Ziqing’s expressions also relaxed, the weight in their hearts finally lifting.
