The Bodyguard King's CEO Wife-Chapter 1224: Inner Strength Lost

After Chen Yuxin hung up the phone, she sat lazily on the sofa, lightly holding a glass bottle in her slender hand, inside were some silver powders. Her face showed a hint of fatigue and decisiveness, her belly was already slightly bulging. As time went by, the symptoms of pregnancy became more obvious. Her other hand gently stroked her belly, as if caressing the fetus; however, at this moment, Chen Yuxin seemed to have none of the excitement and joy of becoming a mother, but rather appeared worried.

"Ruoya, do you think it’s really okay for me to do this?" Chen Yuxin’s gaze fell onto the glass bottle in her hand. The powder inside still emitted a sparkling light, much like decorative glitter. Chen Ruoya stood by, head lowered, with a high-cold demeanor.

"In my view, whatever the Family Head does is always right."

"But... will he like this?"

"If the Master doesn’t like it, that’s not the Family Head’s fault. It’s the Master’s mistake for not considering the Family Head’s feelings." Chen Ruoya had always been loyal to Chen Yuxin, and she consistently believed that Chen Yuxin was an innate leader who had already expanded the family’s influence at such a young age. Hence, her loyalty to Chen Yuxin was absolute, and even if there were mistakes, she would never claim they were Chen Yuxin’s.

"Does Kai really not consider me ever?" Chen Yuxin muttered to herself, her grip on the bottle growing stronger, nearly crushing it.

"Is there any place for me in his heart?"

"Does he really not care about me at all?"

"I will never allow this." Chen Yuxin murmured, with a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.

"Family Head, the Master has already arrived at the airport now." Chen Ruoya looked at her phone and reported.

"Prepare the car immediately, head to the airport."

"Yes, Family Head."

Yanjing Airport.

"Qian, in the near future, Zheng Ji might still contact us, but I’m tied up and will need to trouble you more." Ye Shikai considered that the matter with the Zheng family was still unresolved, so Zheng Ji would certainly continue contacting the two of them. Now that Zheng Ji and his father had already collaborated with the Ji Family, having Ji Qian liaise with Zheng Ji was the most appropriate choice.

"I didn’t expect you to help anyway." Ji Qian was somewhat proud, "Alright, I’m leaving first. Later, Chen Yuxin should also be arriving. If she sees me with you, she’ll probably misunderstand again."

"Alright then, take care at home." After hugging Ji Qian, Ye Shikai headed off in different directions.

Rumblings.

Just as Ye Shikai walked out of the airport, he saw a luxury car approaching from afar. Without thinking, it had to be Chen Yuxin coming over to pick him up.

"Kai." Chen Yuxin stepped off the car and directly embraced Ye Shikai. People around the airport looked at the two; a beautiful woman and a "fairly handsome" man hugging was certainly eye-catching.

"Alright, I’m back now, let’s go home." Ye Shikai directly got into the car, and Chen Yuxin followed inside. Both sat in the back seat, while Chen Ruoya drove in the front.

"Kai, have some water." Chen Yuxin poured a cup of warm water from the thermos. Ye Shikai didn’t hesitate and drank it directly.

"How have these days been?" Chen Yuxin said mildly.

"Pretty good, I saw several people from the Zheng Family in East Sea; of course, they helped me a lot." Ye Shikai nodded in reply.

The two talked back and forth, and unknowingly, Ye Shikai suddenly felt his head growing dizzy, a wave of drowsiness creeping up his brain. The luxury car’s seat was indeed comfortable, as he leaned back, gradually falling asleep...

....................................

Unknown how long had passed, Ye Shikai slowly opened his eyes, discovering himself lying on the bed at home.

"Kai, you’re awake. You look exhausted." Before he could react, Chen Yuxin, dressed in home wear, walked in carrying a bowl of chicken soup.

"Come, drink this." Chen Yuxin gently extended the spoon to Ye Shikai’s mouth, showing the image of a good wife at home. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"What happened just now?" Ye Shikai curiously asked, perplexed to find himself in bed when he should have been inside the car.

"I told you you must be exhausted. You fell asleep as soon as you got in the car, so I had people help you upstairs." Chen Yuxin smiled, while Ye Shikai was half skeptical; usually no matter how tired he was, he would never let someone easily approach, but this time he had been "carried" from the car to the room without noticing, which was quite unusual.

But perhaps as Chen Yuxin said, he was truly exhausted.

Ye Shikai tried using his arms to prop himself up, only to almost fall to the ground; his arms felt utterly powerless.

"What... what is this?" Ye Shikai didn’t believe just sleeping could cause this, so he tried circulating his inner strength.

"Darn, it hurts." A sharp pain made Ye Shikai gasp, why did trying to flow his inner strength cause such chest pain, and it seemed as though all his inner power was sealed, unable to be exerted.

"What’s happening?" Ye Shikai stared amazedly at his body, with no visible external injuries.

He suddenly turned his head, Chen Yuxin faced him with a faint smile, her hands crossed behind her back.

It must be her doing.

"Xin, what have you done to me?" Having experienced the "Single Love Poisonous Insect" recently, Ye Shikai realized something was off with Chen Yuxin.

"What’s wrong?" Chen Yuxin replied with a smile.

"What’s wrong? Where is my inner strength? What’s happening? Is it because of this soup?" Ye Shikai suddenly flipped the bowl off the bedside table, the chicken soup spilling all over the floor, showing he was truly angry this time, abruptly lifting the quilt and rising off the bed. Due to losing his inner strength, Ye Shikai even felt somewhat unsteady; this bowl of chicken soup must have had some drug in it that could seal his inner strength, and his body feeling tingly and numb was perhaps due to the drug too.

"Kai, wouldn’t living like this be great? You wouldn’t face any danger in the future." Chen Yuxin seemed unable to hear his words, placing her hands on his shoulders. Now, Ye Shikai could clearly see the emptiness and coldness in Chen Yuxin’s eyes as though she was a machine.

"You’re really crazy."

Ye Shikai paused in shock, exerted all his strength to push Chen Yuxin away, wanting to leave the room, yet his mind was still in chaos. Could it be due to what happened in East Sea? Could Chen Yuxin possibly know what he was doing there? What did her words mean?

Moreover, perhaps the key issue now was finding an antidote to restore his inner strength; otherwise, he would be rendered a "waste".
