Chapter 544: Chapter 544: Discussing the Wedding
“Sigh, women are always fickle,” Ye Shikai said gloomily.
“Who are you calling fickle?” Suddenly, a cold voice sounded, and the office door opened slowly, revealing a gorgeous figure before the two of them.
“Qingyu, Qingyu,” Ye Shikai took a couple of steps back, while Zhuang Yan was so scared that she immediately buried her head in her papers.
“Always loafing around, and you still haven’t come in,” Su Qingyu glared at Ye Shikai coldly, but Zhuang Yan couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. To be honest, since Ye Shikai returned to Yanjing, he truly couldn’t find a suitable role. At least for a Main God, let alone working as a mere employee, even being a CEO would be beneath him.
In terms of assets, Netherworld Palace’s were definitely on par with any other corporation, but due to the peculiar nature of Netherworld Palace’s assets and their primary distribution overseas, it was impossible for Ye Shikai to relocate all of them to Yanjing. Moreover, the business landscape of Yanjing wouldn’t allow such a large inflow of capital.
Ye Shikai relaxed comfortably on the office sofa, poured himself a cup of coffee, and leisurely watched Su Qingyu get busy with work.
Su Qingyu glanced at Ye Shikai leisurely killing time and her face slightly changed. She then noticed the empty coffee cup beside her and suddenly came up with a good idea.
“Ahem.” Su Qingyu put down her pen and lightly coughed twice, but Ye Shikai, holding a newspaper, propped his legs up on the table, unmoved.
“Cough… cough…” Su Qingyu’s coughs got louder, displaying a hint of impatience. After a long while, Ye Shikai slowly extended his hand, scratched his shoulder, and continued reading his newspaper…
“Hey, didn’t you hear me coughing?” Su Qingyu couldn’t help but shout, looking very dissatisfied.
“Oh, is that so? Then have some water,” Ye Shikai responded nonchalantly, with a carefree expression, and then turned back to his newspaper.
“You…” Su Qingyu, stomping her feet in anger, walked up to Ye Shikai, snatched the newspaper from his hands, and glared at him fiercely.
“Qingyu, what are you doing?”
“You… you, you didn’t even show any sign of concern. I coughed, and you didn’t even offer to pour me any water.”
“Are you sick?” Ye Shikai asked curiously.
“Aiya, it’s just a cough, hurry and pour me a cup of coffee,” Su Qingyu directly placed the cup on the table, inwardly cursing at Ye Shikai for being such a blockhead.
“If you’re sick, you can’t drink coffee, it’s bad for your health,” Ye Shikai said indifferently, a comment that completely exasperated Su Qingyu. Was this the so-called ‘straight man cancer’…
“Haha,” looking at Su Qingyu’s frustrated expression, Ye Shikai couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Alright, I got it, I’ll pour coffee for my dear wife now,” Ye Shikai stood up, carefully poured the coffee and pushed it towards Su Qingyu.
“Qingyu, have those company executives contacted you again, and what about Zhang Song, has he given you a hard time?” After the laughter, the two of them began discussing some serious matters. After listening, Su Qingyu’s eyes revealed a touch of disappointment and she slowly placed her coffee cup down. Although she didn’t speak, Ye Shikai already knew the answer.
“Damn it,” Ye Shikai cursed, a surge of nameless anger welling up in him. This Zhang Song dared to trouble Su Qingyu. If it were abroad, Ye Shikai would personally “sentence him to death.” Since the emergence of his second personality, Ye Shikai always became enraged over trivial matters. If it involved an issue of principle, Ye Shikai could even feel an impulse to kill.
“There, honey, don’t be angry. As for those people’s decisions, I’ll just ignore them,” Su Qingyu came forward to comfort him.
“I’m not angry, just discontented,” Ye Shikai said coldly, these people are like flies that cling persistently, impossible to shake off nor swat, and make mischief at crucial times.
“Husband, let’s discuss our wedding,” Su Qingyu said, grinning as she sat on the sofa, her smile like that of a little girl receiving her favorite gift.
“Wedding.” The moment Ye Shikai heard these two words, his face blushed, then showed an embarrassed expression.
“Right, since we have already announced the news, we should discuss our wedding, and it can also shut up those gossipers outside,” Su Qingyu said, slowly leaning in, smiling as she spoke.
“That sounds good, but I’m not too familiar with this. You handle it,” Ye Shikai scratched his head, looking somewhat helpless. To every man, marriage is an important part of life—a watershed moment. If before he was in a relationship with Su Qingyu, then after the wedding, it would be about responsibility and protection.
No wonder they say marriage is the grave of love. The ceremony isn’t even here yet, and Ye Shikai is already feeling the pressure…
“Mhm.” Su Qingyu nodded.
Ye Shikai smiled, then his expression turned troubled again, as if he thought of something and couldn’t help but take out a cigarette.
“You’re thinking of Luo Shiqi and Miss Ji,” Su Qingyu mentioned their names without any avoidance.
“That’s right, Qingyu, you know how they feel about me…” Ye Shikai hadn’t finished speaking when a finger was placed upon his lips.
“It’s okay, you don’t need to say it. I know.”
“Ah, and there’s Lan,” Ye Shikai’s mind brimmed with the faces of various women. Indeed, he was a man with excessive charm. Suddenly, Ye Shikai recalled what the fortune teller outside the airport had said.
Ye Shikai turned his head away, looking guilty, and inadvertently caught sight of the newspaper that Su Qingyu had snatched away.
Outside the Dark Night Bar, a small alley, the startling discovery of five bodies.
Ye Shikai’s complexion drastically changed, he grabbed the newspaper and said to Su Qingyu, “Is this today’s newspaper?”
“Yes, weren’t you just reading it?” Su Qingyu asked curiously, not understanding why Ye Shikai suddenly became so agitated.
“Damn it, Wang Kai, how could he…” Ye Shikai grabbed the newspaper, then slammed it down on the table, startling Su Qingyu.
“Qingyu, I’ve got some urgent business to deal with,” Ye Shikai shouted, seeming very anxious, grabbing his coat and leaving the office.
Yanjing, Zhu Xi Hotel.
This is one of the most luxurious hotels in Yanjing, and also where Wang Kai is staying. Ye Shikai cursed inwardly, the five bodies must be that of “Niu” from last night, and the only one capable of killing five people in one go could only be Wang Kai.
“Sir, hello. Is there anything I can assist you with?” the front desk clerk asked respectfully.
“Please check for me, which room Mr. Wang Kai is staying in.”
“Uh… I’m sorry, sir, we keep our guests’ accommodation information confidential.”
