The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 68 - 68 68 Eavesdropping

68: Chapter 68 Eavesdropping 68: Chapter 68 Eavesdropping “How is that even possible?” Ye Shikai couldn’t help but exclaim, not wanting to be seen as a lunatic by others, especially by Su Qingyu.

“So what happened with you today…” Su Qingyu said, shivering just at the thought of his behavior earlier, particularly when Ye Shikai was holding that stone, making him seem not like a human, but a wild beast.

“Uh…

that was, that was…” Ye Shikai struggled to find an explanation for his earlier behavior.

Should he tell her about his Demon Addiction?

Not to mention how to explain the origins of this disease, she probably wouldn’t even understand it.

“Qingyu, you know that I used to be a soldier, right?” After a long time, he finally figured out what to say.

“I know, my dad told me.” Su Qingyu said, not only aware that he had been a soldier but also that he was a Major.

“In fact, I…

I’ve been through a lot of brutal wars, and, I’ve killed people.”

“Right, and then what?” Su Qingyu’s face showed a flicker of fear when she heard that Ye Shikai had killed people, but she quickly came to terms with it.

After all, he was a soldier, and a member of the special forces at that.

Su Pengzhan had killed people during his military service too.

“I caught a disease, something similar to post-war psychological trauma, it flares up from time to time…”

“Oh, so that’s it.

No wonder you acted like that.” Su Qingyu’s face showed sudden understanding.

She knew a little about post-war psychological disorders, but it seemed like Ye Shikai’s condition was quite severe.

Ye Shikai felt relieved that Su Qingyu understood so easily.

He thought he’d have to explain in detail, but it seemed unnecessary now since she got it.

“Do you have these episodes often?

What happens when they occur?” Su Qingyu became inquisitive like a curious baby.

Ever since she returned to Huaxia, the illness hadn’t acted up much.

If it wasn’t for that stone at the auction today, she wouldn’t have had an episode.

Just like Ji Qian said, that stone truly contained some energy, and it seemed to resonate with the energy within her.

“I shouldn’t, I guess today was just a bit…

overwrought.”

Suddenly, Ye Shikai grabbed Su Qingyu’s arm tightly and said, word by word, “Qingyu, you must remember, if I ever have an episode, you need to stay as far away from me as possible, never come close.” Su Qingyu was startled by his actions, but seeing his serious expression, she subconsciously nodded in agreement.

She had seen it for herself today; once the illness flares up, he can’t control himself.

“I’ll explain it to Qingqing; I probably…

scared her today.” Ye Shikai said apologetically.

It wasn’t just her; he probably scared everyone at the venue.

“Yes, she was so frightened after you ran out of the venue that she almost fainted.” Su Qingyu said with concern.

Ye Shikai was surprised; it seemed his little sister-in-law truly cared about him.

She may appear indifferent usually, but it’s in these critical moments that true feelings show.

“And about today, when she said you were her boyfriend, there was a reason for that…

Don’t overthink it.” Su Qingyu suddenly made the remark, causing Ye Shikai to almost laugh.

“Of course, I know.

Qingyu, who do you think you are?”

Rather than say Su Qingyu was overthinking, it was more accurate to say she had too little faith in their marriage.

She hardly invested anything in it, so why would she expect Ye Shikai to be completely devoted?

She probably thought that was how he felt.

Since you don’t have high hopes for me, why should I be burdened by feelings?

Let’s just live our separate lives and not get in each other’s way.

“And that Luo Shiqi, what is really going on between you two?” Sure enough, this hit the main issue.

His illness was one thing, but now it was time to explain his relationship with Luo Shiqi.

“She spent a billion on a pendant for you today, don’t tell me she thinks she has too much money.” Su Qingyu snorted coldly, clearly convinced that he and Luo Shiqi were indeed involved.

Truly, his relationship with Luo Shiqi was not ordinary, extending even to life and death situations.

He had saved her before, recalling their first meeting when he mistook her for a bartender and remembered drinking the “Forget Sorrow” cocktail she offered.

Reflecting on the many experiences of the past…

“That’s it, brother-in-law, you owe me an explanation today.” At that moment, the door to the study suddenly opened, and the person who entered was none other than Luo Shiqi, that little girl.

He didn’t expect she had been eavesdropping at the door all this time.

She must know about his illness now.

“Stinky brother-in-law, you definitely sought her out behind my sister’s back and even slept with her last night…” By the end of her sentence, Su Ziqing blushed, her face turning as red as an apple.

Ye Shikai, on the other hand, was stunned.

What was she talking about, and when had he ever slept with her?

The little girl was really outspoken.

“Hey, Qingqing, when have I ever slept with her, don’t talk nonsense,” Ye Shikai quickly said, sensing the chill from Su Qingyu beside him.

If Qingqing kept going, he might very well be beaten to death by Su Qingyu.

“Hmph, I don’t believe you.” Su Ziqing, lacking evidence, couldn’t assert herself and started to play the rogue, tossing her head to one side and ignoring him.

It seemed she wanted an apology from him.

“Really, there’s nothing going on between us.

Although she has been pursuing me, I have never accepted her affection.” Ye Shikai said, trying to explain.

“Impossible, why would she chase you?” Su Ziqing was the first to disbelieve; she had never thought Luo Shiqi would go after Ye Shikai.

However, Su Qingyu was frowning deeply, startled to learn that Luo Shiqi was indeed pursuing Ye Shikai.

“I saved her once, maybe…

women like the hero-saving-the-beauty trope.” As soon as Ye Shikai finished his sentence, both women gave him a disdainful look.
