144: Chapter 144: Who is this Beauty? 144: Chapter 144: Who is this Beauty? “Honey, you must be kidding,” Ye Shikai put the documents on the table, utterly bewildered. “Of course not, if you can’t do it, then you’ll have to give me massages every day,” said Su Qingyu with a pout, acting like a little girl. Ye Shikai smiled contentedly; so she wanted a massage. It seems his massage last time was quite effective. “If my wife wants a massage, I’d be more than obliged,” chuckled Ye Shikai. “You know what’s good for you,” Su Qingyu responded. “If I can’t nail it down, I guess I’ll have to resort to seduction,” Ye Shikai said, picking up the contract again. “You dare, if you dare to have that kind of relationship with her, you’re done for.” Su Qingyu pointed a finger at her own face. “What if she forces me? I’m as weak as a chicken,” Ye Shikai replied with a wicked smile on his face. “Ye Shikai, you jerk,” Su Qingyu grabbed a water cup and threw it at him, but of course, he caught it easily. This woman really dares to throw anything when she’s agitated. Last time it was a fruit knife, this time a water cup, next time, who knows if she’ll grab Su Ziqing and throw her... “Alright, my dear wife, just wait for your husband to swiftly handle this contract,” Ye Shikai said, putting the documents into his bag. “So what will be my reward if I get it done, huh?” he asked. “Dedicate your life to the company’s business, what more do you want?” Su Qingyu batted her eyes at Ye Shikai who grimaced. Alright, Su Qingyu, you win, truly unrivaled in audacity. Back at the PR department, Ye Shikai told An Lan about the matter and was about to leave. Ye Shikai was not worried about whether he could seal the deal or not. Luo Shiqi’s feelings for him were naked and unabashed. That jade pendant worth hundreds of millions was bought without even blinking an eye. Although Ye Shikai was somewhat reluctant to take advantage of this, since the contract was already here, he could consider it owing Luo Shiqi a favor. Besides, with Netherworld Palace people here, would they ever lack money? But before he could leave, Ye Shikai was stopped at the door, by none other than Ailina. “I’m going out for work, what do you want?” Ye Shikai had been on edge for the past few days because of Ailina. This woman was like a ghost, always mysteriously appearing around him. “You’re off to see your little wife, aren’t you?” Ailina took a sip of water from her cup, her words startling. “What do you mean by ‘little wife’? And how do you know about it?” Ye Shikai questioned. “It was Ghost who told me. He said you’ve got a little wife in Yanjing, the queen of the Underworld, quite different from your wife who only knows work. I’m actually a bit interested,” Ailina remarked, her face unintentionally breaking into a smile. Ye Shikai grimaced, a premonition telling him that bringing Ailina would definitely spell chaos. “No, you can’t go. Have you forgotten? I asked you to stay close and protect An Lan.” Ye Shikai found an excuse, hoping Ailina would give up the idea. “I’ve already arranged protection for her. You can relax; I won’t cause any trouble.” Ailina took the initiative, picking up the handbag from the chair, making it clear that she wouldn’t give up until she went with Ye Shikai. So Ye Shikai left the company with Ailina. On the way, he had already called Luo Shiqi. As expected, she wasn’t concerned about the contract. After all, with her financial power, even Su Qingyu, the president of Tianya Group, couldn’t compete with Luo Shiqi in terms of wealth. “When we get to their company, you can’t go too far. This isn’t abroad; you can’t just kill people willy-nilly in Huaxia,” Ye Shikai recalled Ailina’s past abroad, remembering a time when a mercenary leader tried to take advantage of her. She reacted swiftly with knife in hand, instantly sending him to his demise. Moreover, she and her subordinates wiped out that mercenary group. Hence, she was also known as the “Black Widow”—whoever she bit, even if they didn’t die, would lose a layer of skin. “I know, you really nag a lot.” Ailina took off her high heels in the car, rubbing her feet, seemingly having trouble adapting to white-collar life after being used to the life of a mercenary abroad. “How does it feel, your feet hurt, right?” Ye Shikai said. “Nonsense, try standing in high heels for as long as I did,” Ailina said irritably, and Ye Shikai chuckled. For some reason, Ailina never seemed to treat Ye Shikai with any deference despite his status as the Netherworld King; instead, they were more like adversaries. “Then you should hurry back. It’s exhausting here,” commented Ye Shikai as he glanced at Ailina’s swollen feet. “No, I’m sticking to you now. It wasn’t easy to come all this way; how could I go back just like that.” Ye Shikai drove the car, and before they knew it, they arrived at New City Group, one of Luo Shiqi’s corporations. It was also here that Ye Shikai had learned of Luo Shiqi’s identity. The last time Ye Shikai had barged into the group to collect money, the people there were probably still traumatized. “Why does it feel like they’re all scared of you?” Walking along, the employees of New City Group scattered at the sight of Ye Shikai, as if seeing a grim reaper, which puzzled Ailina. “Don’t you know? In Huaxia, there’s a saying called ‘overwhelming charisma.'” Ye Shikai couldn’t help but gloat. “Darling, you finally came.” What Ye Shikai didn’t expect was that as soon as the elevator door opened, Luo Shiqi sprang out, wrapping his arm with an affectionate gesture, shocking Ailina beside him. Ye Shikai was also caught off guard, as the elevator was supposed to be on the first floor this whole time. How could Luo Shiqi be inside? Perhaps she had intentionally hidden inside to surprise Ye Shikai. “Eh, who is this beauty?” Luo Shiqi’s gaze inevitably fell on Ailina, who was standing beside her. Just now, she had instructed her secretary to disperse the employees, so why was there still someone here? Luo Shiqi’s eyes sharpened; Ailina was tall, at least 1.75 meters, much taller than Luo Shiqi, and likewise, a great beauty, which made Luo Shiqi somewhat uncomfortable. “Hello, my name is Ailina; I’m his colleague,” Ailina extended her hand, graciously shaking hands with Luo Shiqi. “I didn’t expect your good fortune with women; not only do you have Su Qingyu as a wife, but you also have such a beautiful female colleague.” Luo Shiqi deliberately emphasized the words “beautiful female colleague,” and Ye Shikai knew she was jealous, but in front of Ailina, she wouldn’t say it directly.
