99: Chapter 99 Confession of Inner Feelings 99: Chapter 99 Confession of Inner Feelings The journey of life is like a one-way train trip, encountering a myriad of people.
Some accompany you for a part of the journey, others may just be a chance encounter, passing by in a flash.
As each person disembarks, there’s an inevitable sentiment of loss.
When the final stop is reached, one looks back suddenly to an empty carriage and the feelings are too complex to express in words.
Looking at Ye Shikai’s somewhat dazed expression, Su Qingyu recalled the last time in the cemetery, during the memorial for Ye Shikai’s mother, he gave off the same feeling, as if his heart was missing an important part, all his strength drained, a sense of powerlessness and loss evident on his face.
“Why did she have to go?” Su Qingyu couldn’t help but ask.
They say that men with stories are the most attractive, and Ye Shikai, who had experienced many big and small stories, was worth getting to know over time.
“I don’t know either.” Ye Shikai took another cigarette from his pocket and was about to light it when a jade hand by his side swatted it away.
Turning his head, he saw Su Qingyu looking somewhat displeased at him.
“Smoke less in the future, it’s bad for your health.”
“I know, I didn’t expect my wife to be so concerned about me.” Ye Shikai smiled faintly, and this act from Su Qingyu warmed his heart.
“Hmph, smooth talker, continue, tell me what happened to you afterwards.”
“After that, I tried looking for her but never had any success, and then…” Ye Shikai paused, seemingly recalling something.
“After trying all means, I gradually gave up hope.
Maybe she was just a passerby in my life.
After so many years, I seem to have forgotten her.” Ye Shikai spoke slowly, not mistaken, after so many years, she had slowly been buried deep in his mind.
The lover he once loved passionately had slowly become a stranger, and thinking of this, the figure he saw last time in the tea market once again surfaced in his mind…
“Have you, really forgotten her?”
This question stumped Ye Shikai.
He had never thought he would meet her again one day.
If he really did, would he truly feel nothing?
The last time, he had desperately chased after her in the tea market, but the current him was no longer the same person.
He was no longer as carefree as before, not a lonely orphan who could satisfy only himself.
He now had many responsibilities; the comrades from Netherworld Palace, friends he met after returning to Huaxia, and the woman before him…
His relationship with Su Qingyu had just begun to mend, and their feelings were only starting to get back on track.
Yet now, he was thinking of a woman he had not been in touch with for eight years.
Thinking of Su Qingyu’s past pains of being abandoned, did he really want to become the second man to do that?
Ye Shikai cursed himself for being such a jerk, unable to even assure his woman.
“Qingyu, I won’t let you down.” Ye Shikai didn’t directly answer the question, but instead, he said this.
To forget someone forever isn’t so simple, especially when that memory has been deeply etched into his heart.
Even joining the military was, to a large extent, influenced by this past event.
However, he could assure that he would never betray Su Qingyu.
“Mm, I believe you.” Su Qingyu revealed a relieved smile.
She was a smart woman; she knew why Ye Shikai didn’t directly answer her question.
She wasn’t unreasonable.
Memories in people aren’t like files in a computer to be easily deleted, and she wouldn’t force Ye Shikai.
Besides, it had been eight years since they’d had any contact.
It wouldn’t be easy to encounter her so abruptly.
Su Qingyu leaned her head on Ye Shikai’s shoulder, and he felt a warmth in his heart, extending his arm to lightly embrace her waist.
The two looked like a loving couple.
“Qingyu, what happened to that boyfriend of yours later?”
“He was dumped by that girlfriend of his, and now, I have no idea where he is,” Su Qingyu replied.
“He taught me a valuable lesson.
Without him, I might not have the drive I have now.”
Ye Shikai nodded slightly, showing a knowing smile.
“But now, you’re a big CEO.
Aside from me, you probably won’t take a second look at anyone else.
Without me, you might end up being single forever, so you…
Qingyu, why are you biting me!”
Ye Shikai had just meant to tease her, but Su Qingyu’s face turned red, and she bit down on his shoulder, and with quite some force at that.
Sigh, women are so changeable.
One moment they’re loving and the next, they turn as if there’s a deep hatred.
At that moment, Ye Shikai thought of an expression – to bite with teeth when love reaches its peak.
“Hmph, let’s see if you dare to do it again.” Seeing that Ye Shikai was pleading, Su Qingyu slowly let go of her bite, still with a triumphant look on her face.
Ye Shikai was right; someone as proud as Su Qingyu with the title of Tianya Group CEO had every reason to reject ninety-nine percent of male suitors.
And looking at her demeanor, probably no man in Yanjing could conquer her.
Had he not come to Huaxia, she might indeed have remained single.
“Ouch, are you alright?” Suddenly, Su Qingyu cried out in alarm.
Following her gaze, Ye Shikai saw that his white shirt on the shoulder had begun to turn red.
Su Qingyu had actually bitten him until he bled, this woman, she must have tiger teeth.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” Su Qingyu panicked instantly, not expecting to have drawn blood from Ye Shikai, flustered and at a loss.
“It’s nothing, no big deal.” Ye Shikai reassured her, the minor injury was indeed not a big deal to him, besides, he could have used his True Qi to protect himself, but that might have ended with Su Qingyu’s teeth being knocked out.
“You, take off your shirt, I need to see.” Su Qingyu said shockingly.
If he took off his shirt, wouldn’t that leave him bare-chested?
But the anxious Su Qingyu probably did not even think of that.
“Qingyu, are you sure?”
“Stop talking nonsense, hurry and take it off.” Su Qingyu stepped forward, placing her hands on his collar to start undressing him.
Alright then, if you want to see, I’ll let you see, but don’t blame me if you get mesmerized by my physique…
Just then, a bright flashlight beam suddenly shone on him, and along the direction of the light came a woman’s voice.
“Hey, what are you two doing over there?”
