Chapter 103: Growing Flesh and Blood
Li Siheng smiled bleakly, his hands clenched into fists, blood flowing back from the IV needle. He didn't care, his voice was cold: "You sit in the highest position in the Shen family, you can't give up your responsibilities, and you can't betray your family. For you, Bian Yue's existence is nothing more than icing on the cake."
"But Bian Yue is naive. She doesn't know how to become the wife of a top family. Sooner or later, you will dislike her because of her ignorance and naivety. Shen Jinci, you and I are both men. I don't think someone's love can last a lifetime."
Li Siheng paused, then continued, "But now, Bian Yue already has everything in the Bian family. I am sure that she can live a worry-free life. No matter who she wants to be with in the future, I will never disturb her. I know that I can't give her the perfection she wants, but in the final analysis, Shen Jinci, you and I are the same kind of people, and you can't give it to her either. People like us are not suitable for Bian Yue."
Shen Jinci listened to Li Siheng's words calmly. Indeed, what the man said was calm, objective, and rational enough.
People like them are not suitable for Bian Yue. If it were a fairy tale, the little princess would certainly be suitable for the gentle and kind Prince Charming.
But he and Li Siheng are both heartless businessmen after all.
However, standing on the top of all living beings and looking down for a long time, one becomes even more indifferent.
Li Siheng's concerns are not without reason.
"I understand what you mean. You think that I like Bian Yue now and can do anything for her, but this does not mean that I will love her forever in this life. People's hearts are fickle, especially men's love. This is the most unpredictable thing, right?"
Shen Jinci's fingertips slid across the grinding wheel, flames flickered, he watched carefully and asked casually.
"Yes, I know that. I am asking you to divorce Bian Yue now, but you will not agree. But Shen Jinci, can you at least promise me that before you are ready to do anything to hurt Bian Yue, please let her go free?" Li Siheng gave in and his voice became heavy.
Shen Jinci frowned, looking at the man with an extremely concerned look, and pursed his thin lips.
Sometimes, Shen Jinci still feels jealous of Li Siheng.
He easily possessed Bian Yue for seven years and received Bian Yue's wholehearted love. Even though this love has disappeared now, he still has the confidence to make an earnest request in front of him.
Because Bian Yue really cared about him, he had the upper hand.
"Li Siheng, I don't like to explain, especially to irrelevant people, but I can assure you that I will not hurt Bian Yue. As for the power of the Shen family you mentioned, in my opinion, it is not as important as Bian Yue."
He said it so calmly that Li Siheng gave him a sarcastic smile.
"The Shen family is not as important as Bian Yue? Shen Jinci, there are only two of us here. You don't have to hide anything. I can't go to Bian Yue to accuse you. Why do you have to pretend to be such a romantic?"
There was anger in his voice.
"What do I have to pretend? I don't care about the Shen family. The Shen family is better than nothing to me, so your request is not valid for me." Shen Jinci stood up, looked at Li Siheng calmly, and said lightly: "I don't want to explain to you why I can be so sure, but I assure you that Bian Yue will always be my first choice. As for the change of heart you mentioned..."
Shen Jinci smiled indifferently. He lowered his eyes and looked at Li Siheng, and said coldly: "I am a heartless person. It is Bian Yue's existence that made my heart grow flesh and blood."
The words were too sensational. Even though Li Siheng was so confident before, he couldn't help but be surprised at this moment.
He watched Shen Jinci turn around and leave. For a long time, he maintained the same posture, like a dead tree, lifeless.
Li Siheng thought, there is no such thing as deep love, everyone has selfish motives, he has done everything he can, right? In his eyes, Bian Yue is second only to the Li family, and for people of their class, this is the limit of what they can do.
But Shen Jinci just said that Bian Yue is always the first choice.
Li Siheng smiled like this, and sneered softly in the ward where he was the only one left.
Bian Yue stood in the hospital corridor and watched the sun. The thick stack of documents in her hand made her feel relieved. She looked at the scenery outside the window with a calm expression.
Shen Jinci walked towards her with light steps.
"Yueyue, let's go home."
Bian Yue came back to her senses when she heard Shen Jinci's voice. She subconsciously looked in the direction of the ward and asked anxiously, "What did Li Siheng talk to you about?"
"Nothing, just told me to take good care of you, and if I don't love you anymore, I'll let you go free."
The word "love", spoken from Shen Jinci's mouth, carries with it an indescribable tenderness.
Bian Yue blinked and asked softly, "So what did you say?"
"Want to know?"
"Not bad." Bian Yue coughed softly. She said, "I'm just asking casually. Let's go."
Shen Jinci originally had no intention of telling Bian Yue. Some things spoken out loud are far less convincing than actions.
In fact, Shen Jinci only said "I love you" to Bian Yue once.
It’s not that I don’t want to say it anymore, but if I say it too much, it can sometimes become a burden.
Shen Jinci didn't want to put any pressure on Bian Yue.
He always hoped that the little girl would be happy when she was with him.
When entering the elevator, Bian Yue received a call from Anny, who said, "Yao Yimin's schedule has been vacated. Mr. Bian, when are you free? We can talk to her in person about the script."
Wang Dan'an gave up Yao Yimin so that she could replace the deceased Shi An'an and star in "The Beauty of the Golden Age", and his action was so positive that it was beyond Bian Yue's expectation.
"Yao Yimin agreed so quickly?" Bian Yue was so surprised that she stopped.
After all, it is not easy to get a movie queen to star in a costume drama.
"I don't know the specific details, but it is said that Yao Yimin liked the script very much and spent two nights reading it, and then decided on it." Anny said excitedly, "Boss Bian, no matter what, this is good news! Why don't you come to the company tomorrow!"
Bian Yue agreed, and before hanging up the phone, she asked about Monk and Asi's training progress during this period.
"They are both very serious, but they still need to improve their acting skills. Their agent suggested to me whether I should send them to participate in variety shows first. I am still considering it."
Bian Yue pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll come to the company tomorrow and we'll have a meeting to talk about everything that's happened recently."
After finishing chatting with Anny, the elevator just opened and Shen Jinci walked into the elevator with his arm around Bian Yue's shoulders, with a nonchalant smile in his eyes.
Bian Yue looked at him curiously and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
