Yanjing, Netherworld Palace base.

"Greetings, Netherworld King and Netherworld Empress." Everyone knelt on one knee to welcome the two of them.

"Why so formal? Get up quickly." Ye Shikai hurriedly said, and everyone slowly stood up. Chen Yuxin's gaze swept over everyone, making the scene a bit awkward for a moment.

"Ahem, Xin, let me take you on a tour." Ye Shikai also noticed the awkwardness and quickly stepped forward to say.

"Alright, that sounds good."

"Ghost, go prepare dinner, we'll stay here to eat later."

"Okay, Boss."

Speaking of which, Chen Yuxin hadn't really shown them any unpleasant attitude, but she didn't respond in any way in front of everyone. Similarly, the members of the Netherworld Palace were also a bit embarrassed about actively "greeting" her because of the last incident, resulting in the scene getting cold.

"This is the gym, and there's also a bar." Ye Shikai led Chen Yuxin around the base. Although it's built underground, this basement-like base is not small at all, comparable to a shopping mall.

"Kai, I have some things I want to talk to you about." When the two walked to a secluded place, Chen Yuxin suddenly grabbed his arm.

"What's the matter? Just tell me." Ye Shikai curiously asked.

"About Jeddon that we talked about last time, I want to transfer him here to take charge of the daily operations of the base."

"Ah… what did you say?" Ye Shikai was somewhat shocked. Chen Yuxin actually wanted Jeddon to come and take charge of the big picture.

"This… doesn't seem appropriate. Ghost has always handled things steadily. Last time's incident was just a misunderstanding, why do you still mind?" Ye Shikai was obviously unwilling to do this. "Moreover, if I just let Jeddon come, what would Ghost think? He and I have a life-and-death friendship; you don't need to overthink it."

"Kai, I hope you'll seriously consider this matter." Chen Yuxin said seriously. "If you're worried about losing face, then I'll say it for you."

"No, Xin, this is a matter of the Netherworld Palace, you shouldn't get involved." Ye Shikai could see that Chen Yuxin still had prejudices against them. Although Jeddon is loyal too, transferring him like this would just make everyone disheartened.

"Aren't we a couple now? The affairs of the Netherworld Palace are naturally my affairs as well." Chen Yuxin said lightly. "Kai, you need a completely independent force of your own."

"Alright, enough. You just don't worry about it, I know what I'm doing." Ye Shikai, feeling helpless, had to sternly ask Chen Yuxin to stop here.

"Kai, if you keep acting this way, one day, the Netherworld Palace will fall into someone else's hands." Chen Yuxin argued unusually, leaving Ye Shikai a bit puzzled as to why she thought this way.

"Ji Qian can mobilize the martial force of the Netherworld Palace because I was a hands-off shopkeeper before, so I entrusted her to help manage it." Ye Shikai felt very tired, as if convincing her was simply impossible.

"If you want to blame them, it's also because of my responsibility; blame me first." Ye Shikai showed a hint of anger. "Xin, if you keep being unreasonable like this, then I'll just leave."

"You… hmph."

.................................…

"I've prepared some small gifts for everyone as a meeting gift." At the dining table, Chen Yuxin gave Ye Shikai face. Initially worried that things might get awkward if there were a dispute at the table, fortunately, Chen Yuxin was considerate of him.

"Is that so? I didn't know, you really are thoughtful." Ye Shikai said with a smile. Chen Yuxin waved her hand, and the attendants behind her carried two big boxes over.

"The gifts… let's look at them later, let's eat first." Ye Shikai signaled the attendants to put the boxes on the table behind and then invited everyone to start eating.

At this moment, Ye Shikai's phone beeped, a text message… from Ghost.

Boss, we didn't prepare any gifts (with an awkward emoji attached).

"Haha, Xin, I heard from Ghost that they're preparing a big gift for you as a wedding present." Ye Shikai, quick-witted, suddenly laughed and said.

"Yes, but the gift is quite special; it can definitely be ready before the wedding." Ghost quickly understood and chimed in.

In Huaxia, it's customary to reciprocate. If Chen Yuxin found out they forgot to prepare a meeting gift, it would ruin the atmosphere.

"Is that so? Then thank you very much." Chen Yuxin smiled faintly.

"Although there were misunderstandings with everyone before, now that we have reconciled, I won't pursue it any further." Chen Yuxin seemed to have sensed the strange atmosphere at the table, so she chose to address the issue; otherwise, her moving the chopsticks while they all ate quietly made it quite obvious.

"Alright, Ghost and the others know their mistakes. We're all one family now, they understand." Ye Shikai hurried to mediate, worried that Chen Yuxin would bring up the matter of transferring Jeddon, so he kept making eye contact.

After the meal, in the room.

"Thank you, Xin, for not bringing that matter up in front of everyone just now."

"You're my husband; naturally, I have to care for your dignity in anything I do." Chen Yuxin gently hugged Ye Shikai and said softly.

"By the way, did you send out the invitations to them?" Chen Yuxin suddenly asked.

"No need to send; they'll all come. They're handling security and organization for the wedding." Ye Shikai explained.

"Kai, I've already arranged people to handle that."

"Ah… well, that's awkward."

"How about letting them handle it? I've already talked it over, and I know Ghost and the others' abilities. Entrusting the wedding security to them is absolutely foolproof."

"Hmm, okay, I'll listen to you."

"I'm going to take a shower, wait for me a bit." Ye Shikai took off his jacket and placed it on the bed, then walked into the bathroom with his change of clothes.

"Hurry up."

Ring ring ring.

Just as Chen Yuxin was about to lie down and relax, a ringing sound started, the source of which was Ye Shikai's jacket.

Chen Yuxin, barefoot, slowly walked over and took out the phone to see, and her face instantly changed.

"Xin, could you see who's calling?" At this moment, Ye Shikai's voice came from the bathroom as well.

The caller ID on the phone said "Dear Wife," which, of course, wasn't Chen Yuxin's call, but… Su Qingyu's call.

Whether forgotten or unwilling to let go, Ye Shikai hadn't changed Su Qingyu's contact note.

"Hello, are you there?" After answering the phone, a soft voice came from the other side.

Chen Yuxin directly hung up the call, her fingers trembling slightly. She opened the phone settings, set Su Qingyu's number to "blocked," and then deleted the call record.

"Xin, whose call was that?" At this time, Ye Shikai also came out of the bathroom.

"Nothing, just a telemarketing call."
