54: Chapter 54: The Counterfeit 54: Chapter 54: The Counterfeit “Brother-in-law, perhaps let’s just forget it. I might as well not go. Here’s the money back to you,” Su Ziqing hesitated for a while and finally handed the 50,000 yuan back. “Qingqing, just keep it, your brother-in-law still has some savings and won’t miss the 50,000 yuan.” “Hehe, then I’ll take it. Thanks, brother-in-law.” In the end, Su Ziqing did not decline further, and since Ye Shikai said so, she might as well accept it graciously, happily taking the money and running out. Ah, when will this little girl grow up? Ye Shikai sighed inwardly, every time he saw Su Ziqing, he couldn’t help but be reminded of Su Qingyu. Not just because the sisters resembled each other by a third, but also due to their personalities— one naive and cheerful, the other cold as ice, one passionate as fire, the other gentle as water. Perhaps when Su Pengzhan named them, he had already destined their personalities, “Qing as in yang” and “Yu as in yin;” Ye Shikai couldn’t understand these combinations of yin and yang, but he didn’t believe that Su Pengzhan was a prophet, rather he thought that Su Qingyu’s personality was shaped by her environment. After Su Ziqing left, Ye Shikai lay down on the bed. Last night, Su Qingyu came to find him, and this morning Su Ziqing came to find him as well. Only after an hour did Ye Shikai slowly get up from the bed and go downstairs, to find only Su Ziqing eating breakfast alone, which puzzled him a bit. “Eh, Qingqing, where’s your sister? I haven’t seen her.” Su Ziqing glanced at him, “My sister left early, unlike you, brother-in-law, who sleeps like a pig all day.” Ye Shikai scratched his head sheepishly. This was also true. Su Qingyu was a big boss, busy with a pile of work all day, unlike him, a normal white-collar worker who seemed to have nothing to do after work. “How can you talk about your brother-in-law like that? And I just gave you 50,000 yuan.” “Hehe, the money is already in my hands, and you can’t take it back now.” After saying this, Su Ziqing playfully stuck out her tongue, and Ye Shikai smiled helplessly, still treating Su Ziqing like a child, and sat down to eat breakfast. After breakfast, Ye Shikai and Su Ziqing left the villa together. They caught a car, and considering the recent appearance of an assassin, Ye Shikai first dropped Su Ziqing at school before heading to his company. “Hehe, Brother Ye, you’re finally here. The president has been waiting for you downstairs for a long time.” As soon as he entered the company lobby, Wanna ‘jumped’ out from the side, giving him quite a scare. Following Wanna’s pointing hand, there sat a woman on a long bench in the lobby—it was none other than Su Qingyu. What was she doing here waiting for him? “President, are you looking for me for something?” Ye Shikai approached and asked. In this company, he still had to conceal his relationship with Su Qingyu. Su Qingyu glanced at Wanna, waved her hand to signal her to leave first, and Wanna nodded and left. “Qingyu, what did you want to see me for?” Ye Shikai sat beside Su Qingyu, looking at her with some confusion. “Come with me.” Against Ye Shikai’s expectations, Su Qingyu grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the company, across the street to a hotel, holding his hand tightly the whole way, leaving Ye Shikai baffled. Su Qingyu pulled him into a four-star hotel and once at the front desk, said coldly, “Take out your ID card.” “Qingyu, what are you doing...” Ye Shikai was shocked. “Cut the crap, give me your ID.” Su Qingyu directly reprimanded, startling everyone present. Su Qingyu took her own ID card and handed it to the front desk staff. Ye Shikai was stunned, wondering if he was dreaming. What’s going on? Could it be because of yesterday’s chat? Ye Shikai started to doubt life itself as Su Qingyu was extremely abnormal today. After getting the card, Su Qingyu grabbed Ye Shikai’s arm and pulled him into the room, immediately closing the door behind them. “Qingyu, what are you trying to do?” Ye Shikai was shocked, still wondering if the sun had risen from the west today. How could this woman change her face as fast as flipping a book? Just a few days ago, she was still brooding over the marriage issue, but today she was acting this way. Su Qingyu’s pretty face turned red, looking like a demure lady, which was very strange. Today, she seemed drugged, usually indifferent to Ye Shikai, but today she brought him here; each of these actions shocked Ye Shikai immensely. “Wife, did something upset you?” Ye Shikai asked. Su Qingyu did not answer his question but instead reached out to take off his jacket, leaving Ye Shikai utterly shocked. He swallowed and quietly watched Su Qingyu’s actions. Su Qingyu then smiled sweetly at Ye Shikai, making him feel uncomfortable. Their faces were less than ten centimeters apart—he could even feel the heat of Su Qingyu’s breath. Normally she hated any contact with Ye Shikai, and because of the wedding issue, she almost had a conflict with Su Pengzhan, so naturally, she didn’t show Ye Shikai a good face, so at home, they also slept separately. However, Su Qingyu’s actions today were utterly abnormal, making Ye Shikai’s lips curl slightly. Su Qingyu’s hand stroked Ye Shikai’s chest, but her other hand reached behind her back, touching the cold metallic sharp object... “Beauty, is the act over? Is it fun pretending to be my wife?” Suddenly, Ye Shikai coldly spoke, causing Su Qingyu’s heart to tremble as she pulled out a sparkling ice pick from behind and directly stabbed at Ye Shikai on the bed. But Ye Shikai was prepared, he slightly smiled, dodged the ice pick, then quickly moved beside the bed, stood up, and looked at the “Su Qingyu” on the bed. Interesting, she even pretended to be my wife this time. “Tell me, beauty, what do you want, playing assassination with an ice pick?” Ye Shikai’s face showed no tension or panic, but was rather calm. He believed that the assassin in front of him was definitely no match for him. “You knew it was me all along, didn’t you?” “Su Qingyu” showed a hint of anger; being played by a target was an insult to her as an assassin. “That’s right.” Ye Shikai simply admitted it. “Then why didn’t you expose me?” “Because... my wife is a great beauty.” Ye Shikai showed a slight leer, which infuriated “Su Qingyu” to the extreme. She tightly gripped the ice pick in her hand, ready to stab at Ye Shikai.
