CHAPTER 735: CHAPTER 735: INDULGING ONESELF

"Let me take a look." Zi Yun took out her medical tools, wanting to come forward and examine Ye Shikai’s body.

"Alright, take a look for me." Ye Shikai lifted his shirt, but was shocked by the sight before him. The knife and bullet scars on his body had slowly faded and lightened, and some less obvious scars had completely disappeared, including the wounds previously inflicted by an assassin.

"Brother, did you use the Scar Healing Ointment?" Zi Yun curiously asked. She was very familiar with Ye Shikai’s body and noticed the significant reduction in scars.

"No...I didn’t. What’s going on?" Ye Shikai was also curious. Could it be that he had such a constitution? That’s not possible. Ye Shikai recalled the medicine applied by Chen Yuxin, perhaps she had applied some special Scar Healing Ointment. Knowing her character, seeing so many scars on Ye Shikai, she would definitely feel distressed.

Zi Yun took a full half-hour to examine with her equipment but failed to detect any abnormalities, ultimately shaking her head in helplessness.

"Someone familiar helped me with the medication before; I think it might be the effect of her medicine," Ye Shikai explained to everyone. "Don’t worry, I know her well; it wouldn’t be poison."

"That’s good."

"Master, I still want to stay by your side these days. Those people might make their move at any time. I am worried they might take this period to assassinate the Netherworld Empress," Nightmare stated plainly, and Illusion Fox also expressed agreement. They had seen the methods employed by Boss Xing and his group in Yanjing, even more ruthless than the Tomb Spirit Organization they previously belonged to.

"That’s fine."

After the conversation, Ye Shikai watched as the others continued to play cards. The pain at the same spot on his back started again, deep into his bones, unbearable, but it subsided after a while.

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

"Honey, come over here." On the first day of their honeymoon, what Ye Shikai least expected was that the place Su Qingyu wanted to visit was a famous local amusement park, coincidentally the same one that had previously been attacked by terrorists. At that time, Ye Shikai had come here with Ji Qian. With a different companion this time, Ye Shikai suddenly felt a sense of oppression.

Ye Shikai didn’t tell Su Qingyu about what had happened last time. This was the time she was most looking forward to, and he didn’t want to disturb it. He had already hurt one woman, and couldn’t bear to hurt another.

Ye Shikai looked around; the previously destroyed amusement facilities had all been replaced with new ones. The park was operating as usual with many visitors, seemingly unaffected.

Perhaps recalling the past events, Ye Shikai felt some aversion to the amusement rides, simply watching Su Qingyu from below. That day, she played like a child, shedding her usual cool demeanor to reveal her purest beauty.

Lunch surprised Ye Shikai even more — soda, fried chicken, pizza. These "junk foods" as Su Qingyu called them, she actually enjoyed eating them. He remembered that he had never seen her eat these before. Now, she ate like she had been starving for days.

"Qingyu, eat slower," Ye Shikai smiled. "I usually never see you eat these, why the sudden appetite?"

"Have you ever seen a CEO eating these at the office?" Su Qingyu retorted with a glance and then continued eating. Indeed, if your CEO was someone who indulged daily, what would you think? It’s like someone’s attire; if a CEO dressed sloppily, then what would subordinates think?

Su Qingyu’s position put her under the spotlight, every move, every word and deed, intensely scrutinized.

Today, Su Qingyu could finally shake off these shackles and let loose her "true nature."

"Qingyu, if you want to eat, I’ll buy it for you," Ye Shikai said with a smile. Su Qingyu was shy, but he never cared about what others said, especially now that their marriage was known all over Yanjing. A husband buying food for his wife — who would dare gossip?

"No."

"Why?" Ye Shikai asked curiously.

"Eating too much will make me fat." Su Qingyu’s cheeks turned red, somewhat embarrassed as she put down the fried chicken. Sure enough, dieting and appetite are forever adversaries.

"It’s fine, I’ll love you even if you get fat," Ye Shikai teased, and Su Qingyu pinched his arm hard, "Humph, if you dare leave me, I will bite you to death."

Su Qingyu flashed her teeth, revealing two small, cute fangs as they locked eyes and couldn’t help but laugh.

In the afternoon.

If Su Qingyu hadn’t completely let loose before, then the "fried chicken" feast had completely changed her. She seemed like an elementary student finally on a long-awaited spring outing.

"Come over here."

"I want to ride the roller coaster."

"And the Ferris wheel."

Ye Shikai even doubted whether Su Qingyu had "regressed in age," as she played for four to five hours straight without any signs of fatigue.

"Qingyu, wait for me," Ye Shikai called from behind, carrying a backpack. A man and a woman, trailing one after the other, they expressed their youth throughout the park.

However, they didn’t notice that from afar, a pair of eyes were intently watching them...

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

Late at night.

"Really, you’re all grown up and yet drink so much alcohol." Ye Shikai drove with one hand while "controlling" Su Qingyu in the passenger seat, the car filled with a strong alcohol smell. Originally, Ye Shikai took Su Qingyu to a bar to enjoy life a bit, but Su Qingyu started drinking alcohol like water as soon as she arrived. Within an hour, she was completely drunk, creating quite an awkward situation. Given Su Qingyu’s beauty, naturally, some tactless people tried to flirt, but they were all stopped by the Netherworld Palace guards arranged by Nightmare.

"I want to drink." Su Qingyu’s pretty face flushed red, her movements restricted by the seat belt, she could only wave her arms.

"You’re drunk; I’m taking you home." Ye Shikai was close to tears. The Su family, led by Su Pengzhan, had strict rules. Su Qingyu, as the eldest daughter, had always been the "obedient good girl." She probably had never been to a bar before, but Ye Shikai overlooked one detail -- his sister-in-law Su Ziqing, always caused a ruckus when drunk. These two sisters were similar when tipsy...

"I want it now." Su Qingyu shifted her body, seeming very uncomfortable.

"I want...I want..."

"What do you want?"

"I’m going to throw up."

"Wait, don’t."
