I gotta go.” “Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye.” Despite Tianjing’s persuasion, Ye Shikai ultimately left the National Security Bureau. He felt in his heart that with his current state and personality, he was no longer suited for working within the system. He might as well be a good worker. By the time he returned to the residential complex, it was already very late. Afraid that Su Qingyu had been anxiously waiting, he drove very fast. Upon opening the front door, he saw that the lights in the living room were still on. Sure enough, they hadn’t gone to bed yet. Ye Shikai glanced at the sofa and saw Su Qingyu and Su Ziqing sitting side by side watching TV. “My wife, Qingqing, you two haven’t gone to bed yet.” Taking off his coat, Ye Shikai sat in front of the sofa and ate a sliced apple. “Haha, classmate Ye, don’t be late for class tomorrow.” Su Ziqing suddenly burst into laughter, then made a silly face. Ye Shikai was startled at first, but then immediately realized the joke as the courses were held at Yanjing University’s Financial Management College, and Su Ziqing was a student in that field, so she called him “classmate.” “Don’t be disrespectful. I’m your brother-in-law,” Ye Shikai rolled his eyes and said. “Qingqing, stop messing around.” Su Qingyu gently scolded, then turned to Ye Shikai with concern, “Where did you go just now?” “To the National Security Bureau, dealing with some case-related matters.” Ye Shikai did not mention Tianjing’s attempt to recruit him, fearing that Su Qingyu would start to worry. “Was it about that Mothman case from a while back?” Su Qingyu suddenly showed interest, while Su Ziqing excitedly sat down beside Ye Shikai. Could it be that the sisters were also interested in these kinds of supernatural cases? “Yeah, if it wasn’t for your husband’s magnificent and martial prowess, could it have been resolved so quickly?” Ye Shikai boasted proudly. “Ew, shameless.” Su Ziqing gave a look of disdain as if Ye Shikai were bragging. “If you don’t believe me, it’s fine. Anyway, I’m going to start working at the National Security Bureau in a few days.” Ye Shikai suddenly had an odd idea to pretend to agree and see Su Qingyu’s reaction. “What? Brother-in-law, you’re going to the National Security Bureau? That’s really dangerous...” “I object.” Before Su Ziqing could finish speaking, a loud shout interrupted her, it was Su Qingyu’s voice. Both turned their heads and saw Su Qingyu looking somewhat out of sorts, both feeling a bit awkward. “Qingyu, what... there’s no need to get so worked up,” Ye Shikai rarely saw Su Qingyu lose her composure like this, and there was a hint of displeasure on her face. “I’m the lady of the house, and I don’t agree.” Su Qingyu presented a firm attitude, her stern face glancing over, and Ye Shikai did not expect such a strong reaction from her. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. “Qingyu, what’s wrong?” Ye Shikai asked cautiously. “I don’t care, you just can’t go, there’s no room for discussion.” Su Qingyu spoke loudly, and even Su Ziqing had never seen her like this before. Ye Shikai, seeing her this angry, began to regret deceiving her. “Qingyu, I was just kidding with you before, I’m not really going to the National Security Bureau,” Ye Shikai quickly stepped forward to comfort her. Su Qingyu’s expression relaxed, but she was still somewhat distrustful, looking at Ye Shikai with vigilance. “Really, I’m not lying to you. I’m usually so lazy; I’m not cut out for the National Security Bureau,” Ye Shikai said, smiling as he put his hand on Su Qingyu’s shoulder. “Annoying, why didn’t you say so earlier.” In a pretense of anger, Su Qingyu threw a cushion at Ye Shikai. Inside the room. Ye Shikai and Su Qingyu lay in bed, but both were tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. “Are you asleep?” Su Qingyu asked softly, hugging Ye Shikai’s body, her light body fragrance lingering around him. “No.” Ye Shikai couldn’t sleep either, his hands overlapped, resting behind his head. “Wife, why are you so against me going to the National Security Bureau?” Ye Shikai couldn’t help asking, he had been puzzled by Su Qingyu’s sudden outburst. Did she dislike the National Security Bureau, or was there some other reason? “Don’t ask anymore, you’ve already promised me anyway, going back on your word... means you’re a puppy.” In the darkness, Su Qingyu’s cheeks turned slightly red. “Woof.” “Stop it, you.” Su Qingyu shyly punched Ye Shikai, then couldn’t help but giggle. “Haha, alright, let’s not talk about it. I have class tomorrow.” Ye Shikai said with a slight smile, turned over, and then the two slowly drifted off to sleep. The next morning. Ye Shikai, with somewhat dark circles under his eyes, walked into the living room. In high school, his grades weren’t bad, but he didn’t particularly enjoy being in the classroom. He never imagined that eight years later, he would find himself back there. Dozens of years of toil, and overnight it’s like being back to the drawing board. “Brother-in-law, why do you look so downcast?” Su Qingyu looked at Ye Shikai’s listless appearance, her face mischievous. “Ah, the past is unbearable when remembered.” Ye Shikai sighed, drove to Yanjing University, and because he was attending a Financial Management training course, he deliberately dressed in a sharp suit. “Wow, who’s that handsome guy next to the beauty of the university, Su?” Once out of the car, the two became the center of everyone’s attention. “Yeah, could he be her boyfriend?” Another student said. “I remember now, last time when Su, the university beauty, was harassed, it was this guy who took down a bunch of small thugs and even called the special police.” “Yeah, yeah, I remember now too.” ...... “Sister Qing, this is the place, study well alright.” Su Ziqing led Ye Shikai into a lecture hall and gave him a push inside. Ye Shikai looked around the classroom, which seemed to be filled with young elite businessmen and some middle-aged entrepreneurs. He chose a seat at the back, glanced around, and remembered that many students used to hide at the back and sleep during classes. Although Ye Shikai felt like doing the same, remembering Su Qingyu’s expectations, he dismissed the thought. Since he had enrolled, he might as well attend the class seriously. Suddenly, Ye Shikai felt someone poke his back, he slowly turned around, and got a big shock – how come she is also here. “Ye, you’re attending the class too?” The woman in front of him was smiling playfully, licking her red lips. “Shiqi, why are you here too?” Ye Shikai couldn’t help exclaiming; the woman in front of him was Yanjing’s Underground Queen and a well-known entrepreneur, Luo Shiqi. “Hehe, you’re wrong, now you should call me ‘Classmate Luo’.” Luo Shiqi said meaningfully, then sat down right next to Ye Shikai. He had chosen a seat at the back against the wall and the tables were connected – the only exit was now blocked by Luo Shiqi.
