14: Chapter 14: Three Obediences and Four Virtues 14: Chapter 14: Three Obediences and Four Virtues Just out of the restroom, Ye Shikai’s phone started ringing “ding-a-ling” with the call display showing it was his wife, Su Qingyu, “Hello, wife, what’s up?” Hearing Ye Shikai’s casual tone, Su Qingyu got even more furious. She had just heard the door closing and, upon looking out the window, saw Ye Shikai leaving the villa. Then with the noisy background on the phone, no need to guess, this bastard had actually gone out to fool around. Did he even remember he had a home? Su Qingyu gritted her teeth and said, “Ye Shikai, you have twenty minutes to get home, or else I’ll tell Dad you’re out looking for women.” “Wife, you’ve misunderstood...” Before Ye Shikai could finish, a dial tone sounded in his ear. The woman hung up on him, but Ye Shikai firmly believed that if he didn’t return home promptly, Su Qingyu would really dare to tattle to Dad. The consequences of that would be... Ye Shikai returned to his booth and found Han Ruoyao, “Yaoyao, I’ve got an emergency and need to leave first, you should get home early too.” Disappointment flickered in Han Ruoyao’s eyes, “Okay then, uncle, be sure to keep in touch with me.” After saying this, Han Ruoyao joked with a chuckle, “If you get heartbroken again, I can introduce you to some beauties.” Ye Shikai, after listening, had a face full of deadpan lines. This girl, she really was a little imp. Just as Ye Shikai reached the entrance, a figure flashed in front of him, a sexy figure, the cocktail waitress, “Handsome guy, you’re leaving already? Come back often in the future.” Ye Shikai looked at the mysterious smile on the woman’s face, and couldn’t see through this woman’s thoughts. With his own skills and life-and-death experiences, he could normally see through the expressions of ordinary people at a glance, but this woman’s thoughts were like hidden in fog, deeply concealed and elusive. Ye Shikai sensed a hint of danger—this woman was certainly no ordinary person. Ye Shikai ignored the woman and walked straight out the door, leaving her standing aside. The woman’s complexion flashed with a hint of displeasure, “Qi, this guy has some nerve, not even giving you face.” A beauty standing next to the woman said. The woman found a seat and slowly sat down, lighting a lady’s cigarette. Adding a bit of elegance to her inherent charm, she took a drag skillfully and slowly exhaled, “Xiao Mei, this guy, is not so simple.” Outside the bar, Ye Shikai flagged down a taxi and handed the driver a hundred yuan, “Hurry, to Lishi Garden, I’ll be dead if we’re late.” The driver also sensed Ye Shikai’s urgency and immediately stepped on the gas, speeding all the way to the community. Arriving at the front door, Ye Shikai checked his phone. Twenty minutes exactly. He opened the home door and the trace of relief on Ye Shikai’s face vanished immediately, replaced by a chill. Su Qingyu was sitting on the sofa, staring straight at him, like a sculpture, and with the dim light in the living room, Ye Shikai had the feeling of entering a haunted house... “Wife, why haven’t you gone to bed yet? Hurry back, it’s cold in the living room, don’t catch a cold.” Ye Shikai reached out to help Su Qingyu get up from the sofa, but she fiercely slapped away his hands, “Ye Shikai, don’t you think you owe me an explanation? Why are you at a bar in the middle of the night? Even if I don’t let you get some, you can’t be going there to pick up call girls, can you? Are you trying to retaliate against me, to make me feel I’m not even as good as a whore?” “Wife, don’t get agitated, I was invited by a friend, how could a decent man like your husband go find call girls?” To say it was a friend’s invitation was a rough explanation, but as for claiming decency, Ye Shikai was saying so with a rather guilty conscience. However, he was evidently capable of lying without a blush or a heartbeat, all thanks to his thick skin. Su Qingyu sneered, “Ye Shikai, you think I’m a three-year-old kid? This is your last chance, tell the truth, otherwise, I’ll castrate you.” After speaking, Su Qingyu suddenly had a fruit knife in her hand, and Ye Shikai broke out in cold sweat. This woman, why is she always thinking of castrating him? But he himself was in despair. “Wife, put the knife away first, if you hurt your delicate hand, how heartbroken your husband would be.” “Wife, I really didn’t lie to you, if you don’t believe me... I’ll call my friend and have him vouch for me.” After saying that, Ye Shikai took out his phone, found Han Ruoyao’s number, and just as he dialed it, the call connected, “Yaoyao, you have to vouch for me quickly, otherwise I’m a dead man.” Ye Shikai’s appearance was such that he was nearly crying for his parents. Meanwhile, Han Ruoyao, still in the bar, slightly curled the corners of her mouth, hmph, thinking you dare to leave this miss aside, now I’ll make you pay “Hello, my dear, you start missing me so soon? You were so amazing just now, made me feel so good.” Ye Shikai immediately hung up the call, otherwise that little vixen would say even more provocative things, the atmosphere in the living room fell into a weird silence. At this moment, Ye Shikai’s heart was collapsing. He only had two thoughts, one was how to teach Han Ruoyao a lesson the next time they met, the other was how to explain himself to the female demon in front of him. Suddenly, Ye Shikai felt something cold on his face, as if something was touching his face. On a closer look, it was actually Su Qingyu’s hand holding a fruit knife, “Ye Shikai, I’ve had enough of you.” Oh no, the best plan is to run when it’s tough. Ye Shikai quickly ran to the other side of the sofa, “Wife, I can explain, just now... I dialed the wrong number.” Su Qingyu sprang up from the sofa, clutching the fruit knife tightly in her hand, and pounced at Ye Shikai with her teeth and claws bared, “You bastard, come here, I’m going to castrate you.” Do you think I’m stupid enough to stand still and let you hit me? So, a harmonious Tom and Jerry chase ensued throughout the villa... The next morning, Ye Shikai came out of his room, sporting a pair of panda eyes. Last night, he had run to his room and locked Su Qingyu out, infuriating her to the point of cursing outside for half an hour. Ye Shikai nearly thought she was going to set fire to the house. The mighty Netherworld King, cornered into his room by a woman, unwilling to come out. Ah, but she’s my wife, after all. Su Qingyu, as a wife, perfectly embodied the ‘three obediences and four virtues’: never reasonable, never gentle, never considerate, can’t be annoyed, can’t be hit, can’t be scolded, can’t be talked back to. Walking downstairs, Su Qingyu was already sitting at the dining table having breakfast. Ye Shikai cautiously approached Su Qingyu, putting on a silly and shameless expression, “Wife, have you calmed down?” “Hmph.” Su Qingyu turned her head away. After a whole night, her anger had subsided, but she wasn’t about to show Ye Shikai a pleasant face. Time and again, it had been shown that the moment she showed him a pleasant face, he would become restless. Seeing that Su Qingyu wouldn’t bother with him, Ye Shikai sighed. However, a small sense of relief remained in his heart— at least the anger had subsided, which meant he could be at ease. He returned to his seat, drank some soy milk, and ate a few pieces of bread. After finishing breakfast, Su Qingyu picked up her handbag from the sofa and walked straight to the door. Suddenly she turned around, reminding Ye Shikai to visit Su Pengzhan’s house that afternoon. She felt uneasy and warned him not to forget about it before leaving. Ye Shikai actually hadn’t forgotten, but suddenly he remembered how that little devil Han Ruohan dared to frame him yesterday. He thought about how he would deal with her next time. Ye Shikai arrived at the company, almost eight o’clock. He hurriedly punched the clock and went back to the Public Relations department. Suddenly, he heard An Lan’s voice, “Ye Shikai, come to my office.”
