The pair of military rank epaulettes seemed incredibly heavy with honor to Ye Shikai, and he could not bear to discard them. They symbolized recognition of his capabilities. Before getting married, Ye Shikai would have worn this uniform without hesitation, but now the situation was different. He was the Netherworld King, the leader of the Netherworld Palace, and also the husband of Su Qingyu. Every decision had to be carefully considered, and he could not just agree impulsively.
"Ye, you are my most valued subordinate, and I believe that deep down, you are willing," Yan Kuan handed the neatly pressed uniform to Ye Shikai, noticing his hesitation. Yan Kuan understood, after all, this was no minor matter.
"I've kept this uniform for you for so many years. No matter your decision, please keep it," said Yan Kuan earnestly, then patted Ye Shikai's shoulder, "Take your time to think it over."
