Chapter 11 Father-in-law is Coming

"Sure, I'll be right there." Ye Shikai was somewhat surprised. Su Qingyu's tone was like that of a little girl who had done something wrong. Since his return to Huaxia, Su Qingyu's tone had either been cold or assertive. But thinking about it, it was probably because of Su Pengzhan. Although Su Qingyu was a cold-faced businesswoman, she always portrayed the image of a good daughter to her parents.

Although Ye Shikai was disappointed with Su Qingyu's attitude yesterday, he had come to a realization. Since they were now husband and wife, some issues still needed to be resolved face-to-face. They couldn't keep giving each other the cold shoulder forever. He needed to be responsible and not just avoid her all the time. Upon entering the elevator, Ye Shikai went straight to the top floor where the CEO's office was. Leaving the elevator, he made his way straight to the office.

"You must be Ye Shikai, the president is waiting for you inside," a slim woman with delicate eyebrows approached Ye Shikai. He recognized her; she was Su Qingyu's assistant, Zhuang Yan, seemingly a Master's graduate returned from a prestigious university in America. Ye Shikai didn't pay her much attention and pushed the door open to enter.

Su Qingyu was sitting on the couch and upon seeing Ye Shikai, her gaze was somewhat unpleasant and uneasy, "Sit here." Su Qingyu pointed to the sofa opposite and pushed a cup of coffee in front of Ye Shikai after instructing him to sit down. Ye Shikai was thrilled, his wife who always gave him cold looks now showed such a thoughtful side, perhaps the sun had risen from the west today.

"My father is coming." Su Qingyu suddenly blurted out. Ye Shikai almost spit out the coffee in his mouth, "What? Our father is coming?" Ye Shikai thought about it, since Su Pengzhan already knew about the situation between him and Su Qingyu, he would certainly want to meddle.

"What do you mean our father, that's my father," Su Qingyu said displeasedly, rebuffing Ye Shikai's words. "We're married, so your father is now my father too."

Su Qingyu glared at Ye Shikai, her face showing irritation, but when remembering yesterday's incidents, her expression turned to one of guilt and unease, "Ye Shikai, are you still angry about yesterday?" At this, Ye Shikai's expression deepened, losing his earlier playfulness, "Qingyu, if you truly cannot accept me, I will leave." After all, he was not the type to insist relentlessly; as a mere leader of mercenaries, his hands stained with blood, he understood she was a favored daughter of heaven, untouched and pure as a lotus.

Su Qingyu's heart shuddered, her way of addressing him changing, "No, I don't want to drive you away, and let's cancel the one-month divorce agreement too." What? Could it really be that this woman had turned her attitude so quickly?

"Last night my father called, he is coming to our house tonight," Su Qingyu said with some shame, bowing her head. During yesterday's conversation with Su Pengzhan, after he found out about the one-month agreement, he scolded Su Qingyu vehemently, leaving her completely confused on the other end of the phone.

"Ye Shikai, I apologize for yesterday. My attitude was not right, I didn't consider your feelings," Su Qingyu said, biting her lip. To say she was sincerely apologizing was absolutely impossible; as a superior, she never apologizes first. Apologizing to Ye Shikai now was primarily because of Su Pengzhan.

"Qingyu, I was also at fault yesterday, I shouldn't have slammed the door and left." Seeing Su Qingyu acting so out of character and showing softness to him, Ye Shikai decided he should also offer her a way out.

"Come with me." Suddenly, Su Qingyu grabbed Ye Shikai who was beside her. "What's going on, where are we going?" Ye Shikai was dumbfounded. Did Su Qingyu take the wrong medicine today? First, she made coffee for him, then apologized, and now she was pulling and dragging.

Su Qingyu pulled Ye Shikai out of the office and pointed at her Lamborghini saying, "Get in the car, we're going to the mall." After saying this, she didn't allow Ye Shikai to refuse, directly pushing him into the passenger seat, then drove straight to the mall.

Su Qingyu brought Ye Shikai to a big mall called "Heaven", located in the city center with usually a large flow of customers. Su Qingyu pulled Ye Shikai into a men's suit store. Since Su Pengzhan was coming, she still wanted Ye Shikai to look presentable. It was indeed shameful that as his wife she didn't even know her husband's size. Su Qingyu picked up a dark blue suit, "Try this on."

Watching Ye Shikai walk into the fitting room, Su Qingyu fell into deep thought. Ye Shikai was at most a slightly handsome ordinary person. Just because his father saved Su Pengzhan, there was no need to force her daughter to marry him. She herself was a president. If others knew her husband was an ordinary man living off a woman, it would cause a great impact. It's like a golden flower of Yanjing rooted in dung.

"Wow," suddenly, a shrill scream rang next to Su Qingyu's ear. Following the sound, a handsome and dashing figure appeared in her sight. Who else could it be but Ye Shikai? His mature eyes seemed to have seen through the vicissitudes of life, his slightly lean cheeks a bit skeletal, his 1.8-meter-tall stature, the suit perfectly showcasing Ye Shikai's great figure. Indeed, as the saying goes, 'Clothes make the man.' From a distance, such a dignified and elegant person, was this really Ye Shikai?

"Honey, do you think it looks good?" Ye Shikai walked up to Su Qingyu, excited like a child, "Sir, you have a good eye. This suit is this season's latest model, the discounted price is only eighty-six thousand yuan."

Hearing this price, Ye Shikai gasped, "Woah, Qingyu, maybe we should forget it."

"Swipe the card." Su Qingyu ignored Ye Shikai, directly handed a platinum credit card to the sales clerk, then turned and looked at Ye Shikai with some resigned resentment, "Ye Shikai, my dad is coming today, you should at least pay attention to your appearance. Moreover, this is the first time... I'm giving you a gift." Towards the end, Su Qingyu bowed her head shyly, Ye Shikai chuckled lightly, but his heart was filled with more emotion.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Nanny Wu had already prepared a full table of dishes, Ye Shikai sat upright on the sofa, constantly looking at his watch. Su Qingyu was also serious beside him, as if facing a trial. Ye Shikai and his father-in-law had not met many times, but the impression was profound, solemn and impressive, dressed impeccably.

Ye Shikai looked at Su Qingyu next to him, puzzled. What had her father-in-law said to Su Qingyu yesterday that made this woman, who had faced many challenges in the business world, so nervous?

After about fifteen minutes, Su Qingyu could no longer sit still, "I'm going to the door to see if Dad has arrived." She stood up and walked to the door, just as she turned the handle, the door opened from the outside. Su Qingyu trembled, stunned for a few seconds, and faced the person outside.

"Dad, you're here."
