The Bodyguard King's CEO Wife-Chapter 1226: Extremes

Ye Shikai once pampered the woman in front of him immensely. During their school days, Chen Yuxin’s frail demeanor always triggered his protective instincts. But the Chen Yuxin now is no longer the same as before. When the two reunited in Yanjing, Ye Shikai had once longed for the possibility that they could interact as they did in the past. Despite all that had happened, meeting again was not easy. But he never imagined that eight years would turn her into a complete "stranger."

Extreme, sinister, ruthless.

Ye Shikai has never been weak. If it were an outsider trying to destroy his Dantian, it would be impossible. But what he couldn’t imagine was that the one who coldly stabbed a dagger into his body was his wife. It was indeed akin to capsizing in a ditch.

Initially, he thought Chen Yuxin would at most be unhappy or throw a tantrum. After all, he did indeed stay in a life-threatening place when Chen Yuxin needed him. In terms of fulfilling a husband’s responsibility, he indeed fell short. But he never expected Chen Yuxin to act so extremely.

"I’m not hungry, take it away." Ye Shikai said indifferently, expressionless. In fact, he was already starving. Without Inner Strength, he was no different from an ordinary person. Fortunately, when he was in Dragon Teeth, he had developed a strong physique, and his wounds healed faster than the average person.

"You haven’t eaten anything all day, how could you not be hungry?" Chen Yuxin placed the items on the table and sat by the bed, gazing down at him.

"Weren’t you going to kill me? Why would you save me now?" Ye Shikai still harbored resentment. Having his Dantian destroyed and losing his Inner Strength was a torture worse than death for a cultivator. What’s more, the one who harmed him was the one beside his pillow.

"Kai, I apologize to you, what I did was wrong. I love you deeply and you’re still the child’s father. How could I kill you?" Chen Yuxin leaned down, resting against Ye Shikai. "That stab only destroyed your Dantian, but it would never endanger your life."

"You..." Ye Shikai turned his head in anger. He had clearly seen through this woman’s heart, as poisonous as a snake or scorpion. Her cruelty extended to outsiders as well as to Ye Shikai.

"Let’s divorce, you’re too terrifying." Ye Shikai said plainly.

Slap.

Ye Shikai had not reacted, and a red mark appeared on his cheek.

"I will not allow you to speak like that." Chen Yuxin shouted loudly. Before Ye Shikai could speak, two streams of tears rolled down like broken silver beads, and she suddenly fell on him, her tears gradually soaking through his clothes.

Marrying Ye Shikai, she had dreamed of since childhood, especially during these eight years of separation, she was absorbed day and night. When Ye Shikai became the Netherworld King and dated Ji Qian, he might have forgotten this childhood sweetheart, but Chen Yuxin thought of this "first love" every day and night.

Hence, what Chen Yuxin hated most was when people questioned her marriage; even more so, she didn’t want Ye Shikai himself to say it. Hearing him say "divorce" was like a knife stabbing into her heart. Perhaps this pain was deeper and more painful than the stab she gave Ye Shikai yesterday...

"Let me go. Maybe we shouldn’t see each other for a while; let’s separate temporarily." Ye Shikai said softly.

"It’s impossible. This is your home, and I absolutely won’t allow it." Chen Yuxin refused coldly, getting off Ye Shikai. Perhaps due to his anger, Chen Yuxin did not throw a tantrum. Both needed to calm down. Affection works that way; after marriage, moving from ambiguous lovers to real spouses, the "close" identity raises higher emotional demands. Ye Shikai still harbored Su Qingyu in his heart and was entangled with a myriad of things, so he couldn’t focus entirely on Chen Yuxin and their unborn child. Whereas Chen Yuxin, since marriage, focused all her attention on Ye Shikai and their marriage, she even let Chen Ruoya handle many of the company’s matters. Especially after having a child, she stayed at home. Love requires both giving and receiving; Ye Shikai gave less, while Chen Yuxin’s demands and desires grew. Hence conflicts naturally arose, and as they accumulated, they inevitably exploded. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Let me go." Ye Shikai shook the iron chain in his hand.

"Kai, you’ve lost your Inner Strength, so you can’t manage anything now. All I want is for us to live well together. Is that too much to ask?" Chen Yuxin turned to question.

"I’ve neglected your feelings these days, that’s my fault, but it’s no excuse for what you did." Ye Shikai argued, "If you don’t free me, I’ll go on a hunger strike and die in front of you."

"Ha-ha." Suddenly, Chen Yuxin burst into giggles.

"Why are you laughing?" Ye Shikai stared curiously.

"Kai, it won’t be long before you’ll beg me." Chen Yuxin leaned closer, their eyes meeting, less than ten centimeters apart, allowing Ye Shikai to see the bloodshot eyes of Chen Yuxin.

"What do you mean by that?" Ye Shikai immediately asked.

"You’ll understand soon enough." Chen Yuxin smiled, stroked his cheek, and then left the room.

What did these words mean? Ye Shikai kept pondering in his mind. He now had no Inner Strength, couldn’t leave the Chen family, so he could only hope for someone to come rescue him.

Seek the Soul Destroyer. If the people of the Netherworld Palace learned the truth, they would rush in without hesitation, even risking their lives. But the Chen family’s residence was as strong as a fortress, and being in Yanjing meant they couldn’t succeed, and instead, would be in grave danger.

His only option was to turn to Ji Qian, but Chen Yuxin was so sensitive to emotions, she likely knew very well about Ye Shikai’s situation with Ji Qian. Even the things they did recently, Chen Yuxin knew a bit.

If Ji Qian attempted a rescue, not only would it be futile, but it would also provoke Chen Yuxin further, plus the Chen and Ji families were prominent families in Yanjing, making the situation difficult to resolve.

At present, Ye Shikai could only persuade Chen Yuxin, hoping she’d calm down.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Ye Shikai felt a sharp pain in his body, followed by chills, and couldn’t help but shiver.

"What’s happening?" Ye Shikai panicked. Without Inner Strength, he couldn’t understand what was going on with his body either. Without Inner Strength, he couldn’t even use his Storage Ring anymore. The Storage Ring, usually like a treasure trove, was now just an ordinary copper ring.
