Ye Shikai activated his Inner Strength, and his body gradually became transparent until he completely vanished. Although the Netherworld King's Head Vault couldn't aid him in battle, this invisibility was undoubtedly a great skill, allowing him to come and go without a trace. Luckily, it didn't fall into the hands of thieves; otherwise, it would definitely be a crime.

Ye Shikai suddenly leaped, flipping directly over the Ji Family's outer wall. Truly living up to a great family, the entire mansion was like an enormous courtyard complex, as intricate as a labyrinth, making it hard for him to find his way.

He heard that Ji Tao had arranged a banquet here, so they must all be in the liveliest spot. Ye Shikai followed the source of the sound, step by step, heading toward the Ji Family's main hall.

"Qingyu, what are you worried about?" In the reception hall, Su Qingyu wandered around with a bewildered look. An Lan thought she was feeling unwell and hurried over to ask.

"It's been a whole day, and he hasn't answered his phone. Could he be in danger?" Su Qingyu wasn't intentionally disturbing him; she was just worried about his safety. In fact, she wouldn't wear her heart on her sleeve, nor did she have the nerve to ask Ghost and the others, leaving her anxious and nervous for an entire day.

"Don't worry, Miss Ji just told me he answered the call, and nothing happened to him."

"Then why isn't he answering my calls?" Su Qingyu's face fell even more. Of course, he was about to get married, and disturbing him now would just add to the ambiguity. Perhaps he simply didn't want to answer.

"An Lan, I'm fine now. Let me be alone for a while." Su Qingyu whispered, taking a wine glass and finding a quiet place to sit alone.

Suddenly, Su Qingyu felt someone grab her arm. Just as she was about to scream, a hand covered her mouth, and she was pulled into a secluded corner.

"Help..."

"Don't scream, it's me." Ye Shikai removed the Netherworld King's Helmet, and his body reappeared.

"How could it be you?" Su Qingyu was utterly shocked, almost crying out. Fortunately, Ye Shikai quickly covered her mouth.

"Keep your voice down. I didn't have an invitation. I snuck in." Ye Shikai said somewhat awkwardly.

"Why didn't you answer my calls all day?" Su Qingyu, realizing, suddenly pushed his chest.

"I found it strange too. Somehow, my phone had suddenly blacklisted you, so of course, I couldn't receive your calls," Ye Shikai said, curious.

"Really?"

"By the way, I did manage to call through once, but you hung up after two seconds."

"That's impossible." Ye Shikai immediately retorted. In an instant, it seemed as if something occurred to him. These days, the only one who could have accessed his phone was Chen Yuxin.

"Why would she do that?" Ye Shikai mumbled, deep in thought, not realizing Su Qingyu was still by his side.

"What did you say?"

"Ahem, nothing." Ye Shikai deflected. "When you were looking for me, was there an urgent matter?"

"Actually... not really, just... wanted to… talk with you." Su Qingyu's tone was conflicted, hesitant to speak. As her words fell, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

"Qingyu, what do you want to say?"

"I..."

"Kai, you're here." Suddenly, a clear and cold female voice sounded behind them. Su Qingyu instinctively turned her head, looking at the corner. Ye Shikai quickly turned and saw who came.

"Xin, it's you." Ye Shikai's body trembled. The corner was rather narrow, and viewed from behind, it seemed as if the two were... kissing.

"Kai, why are you here?" Chen Yuxin wasn't blind. Her gaze mostly landed on Su Qingyu.

"I... I received an invitation, so I came," Ye Shikai casually found an excuse.

"Why didn't you call me when you came?" Ye Shikai awkwardly replied with a question.

"I saw you were reviewing materials, so I didn't want to disturb you," Chen Yuxin explained, shifting her gaze to Su Qingyu, gleaming with cunning, softly saying, "Miss Su, you're here too."

"I have some things to do, so I won't disturb," Su Qingyu said, looking down as she walked past Ye Shikai, never once making eye contact with Chen Yuxin.

"Qingyu, you..." Ye Shikai instinctively wanted to chase after her, but Chen Yuxin held him back by his arm.

"Xin, what are you doing?" Ye Shikai broke free from her grasp, but Su Qingyu had already walked far away.

"What were you doing with her just now?" Chen Yuxin's face turned cold; she wasn't asking but accusing, as if she had caught them red-handed, as if Ye Shikai and Su Qingyu were doing something "shameful" in the corner.

"Talking." Ye Shikai looked innocent. They hadn't done anything, not even begun a conversation, when Chen Yuxin interrupted.

"Who would believe you were talking in the corner? Kai, don't forget, I'm your wife now. How am I supposed to feel about this?" Chen Yuxin's face showed anger. Clearly, she was genuinely upset. After all, there were so many business figures from Yanjing here; if their actions were seen, it would inevitably be gossiped about, impossible to explain away.

"Stop being unreasonable, will you?" Ye Shikai felt frustrated. "I was just talking with her, Xin. You've never trusted me."

"Also, you're the one who blacklisted Qingyu on my phone, right? You knew she'd be at this banquet, so you deliberately kept me from knowing and came alone, didn't you?" Ye Shikai turned to leave, but Chen Yuxin clung to him tightly, luckily they were in a corner where no one else was nearby.

"I'm sorry, Kai, it was my fault. I shouldn't have deceived you." Chen Yuxin hugged his waist tightly. It's said that trust is the cornerstone of a marriage, and her actions had indeed saddened Ye Shikai. If Chen Yuxin hadn't blacklisted Su Qingyu on his phone, he wouldn't have traveled all the way to the Ji Family, sneaking in to find Su Qingyu.

"Alright, you're not wrong either." Ye Shikai shook his head helplessly. "Xin, you make me feel troubled this way. Let there be no next time."

"I understand, Kai. Shall we go home?" Chen Yuxin immediately smiled upon hearing Ye Shikai forgive her, holding his hand tightly.

"Since we came all this way, let's wait until the banquet ends before we leave." Ye Shikai sighed, pointing to the ongoing banquet in the distance. Ji Qian, clad in a white evening gown, stood at the center, drawing everyone's attention. Ji Qian had left Yanjing for many years, fading from everyone's view. Today, as she appeared with such beauty, everyone was stunned, and some even whispered that had Ji Qian not left Yanjing, she would definitely have been one of the four great beauties.
