Chapter 19: Rain on the way back to Hong Kong
Bian Yue hadn't heard such words for a long time.

"Anything?" She asked softly, the smile on her lips clearly showing disbelief, "Mr. Shen has never been in love, right?"

Shen Jinci looked at her lively face, but he was not angry. Instead, he said calmly, "We never talked about it."

"Has Mr. Shen ever had a woman?" Bian Yue blinked, her eyes clear.

Shen Jinci also answered frankly, "No."

This time, it was Bian Yue who was stunned.

Who would believe it?

The means by which men attract women are nothing more than power, wealth, appearance, and romance.

He clearly lacks nothing, and everything he has is already perfect.

But he had nothing.

Bian Yue was stunned for a moment, and remained silent for a long while before she coughed and said, "Mr. Shen should have a romantic relationship. Then you will know that it is really exaggerated to paint such a rosy picture for women."

"What do you mean I drew?" the man asked calmly.

Bian Yue said bluntly, "You said I can do anything as long as I am by your side."

"How do you know this is a cake?"

Shen Jinci's eyes lowered and became increasingly gloomy. He stared at Bian Yue. Bian Yue saw her own gradually panicking reflection in his eyes.

"I"

"Bian Yue." He called her name, paused, and said seriously: "I never joke, and I never say anything I am not sure of. Today I dare to tell you that you can do anything by my side, and I can guarantee everything you do."

Bian Yue retreated in defeat at the sight of his serious expression.

The rainy season in Hong Kong is so long. The rain hits the floor-to-ceiling windows. The dim lights outside the windows illuminate the pavilions and terraces in the manor, with colors like splashed ink.

Bian Yue's heart seemed to be swaying in the wind and rain.

She blinked her eyes, revealing bitterness, and said nothing.

"Have you ever been to a port on a typhoon day?" the man asked suddenly.

Bian Yue was stunned, thought seriously, and said: "I don't like going out on rainy days. I have never been there."

"Typhoons are common in the rainy season. When ships encounter typhoons, they return to the port from the sea to avoid being capsized in the sea by uncertain storms."

When Shen Jinci said this, he suddenly bent down and looked at the woman in front of him.

Bian Yue's heart skipped a beat. The man's elegant and handsome face was so close to her. The distance between them was very close.

Shen Jinci raised his lips lightly, speaking in a nonchalant tone, but each word was extremely cautious. He said, "Bian Yue, I want to tell you that I have always been here. As long as you come, I will be here. I will wait for you until the rainy season ends."

He probably wasn't someone who was good at sentimentalizing, and naturally he wasn't someone who could say sweet words, but these words were better than anything Bian Yue had ever heard before.

He really knows what he needs.

The atmosphere was so warm that the temperature rose.

Just when Bian Yue wanted to admit defeat and retreat, his cell phone rang.

It’s a call from Li Tingmo.

Bian Yue and Shen Jinci looked at each other and spoke hesitantly. She said, "Do you want to hear it?"

Shen Jinci said: "Do you need me to listen?"

Bian Yue did not argue out of spite and said sincerely, "Yes."

So the phone was put on speakerphone. Li Tingmo naturally didn't know that Bian Yue was at Shen's house at the moment, so he spoke directly and got straight to the point.

The content simply means that Bian Yue should be cautious. Canceling the marriage is no small matter. The Li family has raised you for many years. If you break up with them, I'm afraid all the family members will criticize you.

"You also know that the relatives of the Li family are sometimes unreasonable. Bian Yue, if you have a falling out with them, it will be difficult for me to do anything." Li Tingmo's voice was even helpless, as if every word he said was for Bian Yue's sake.

Bian Yue listened patiently and asked Li Tingmo what he wanted to do.

Li Tingmo sighed, like a loving elder, "You don't have to do anything. If you don't want to get married, uncle can't force you. It's just that the inheritance your parents left you was originally said to be returned to you after you married Si Heng. Now it seems that we can only choose a more appropriate time."

"I understand," Bian Yue said, "When the time comes, I will go back to the Li family with my husband and have a good talk with my uncle."

Li Tingmo was very satisfied with what she said, but when she heard the word "husband" from Bian Yue's mouth, she stood up immediately.

In the Li family study, Li Tingmo's expression was covered by the dim light, and was rendered into a gloomy and ferocious face. He was so angry that he stood up directly, gritted his teeth and asked uncertainly, with anger: "Husband? Bian Yue, what do you want to do? You are angry with Si Heng, so you want to make him angry?"

Bian Yue answered sincerely: "No, I have thought about it seriously and decided to get married."

"Bian Yue! I don't agree with your marriage, not to mention that you have an engagement with the Li family! Whoever in Hong Kong dares to marry you will be the enemy of the Li family!" The threat was already revealed at the end of the words.

In the past, Bian Yue really thought that Li Tingmo and her parents were close friends and that he truly loved her.

But fake things can never stand up to scrutiny.

Bian Yue gave the phone to Shen Jinci.

Shen Jinci saw Bian Yue looking into his eyes, with a layer of clear mist in them.

The little princess was used to being proud, but in front of her precious "relatives", she was still hurt to pieces.

Shen Jinci took the phone and saw Bian Yue walking to the corner of the room alone.

"In short! Go back to the Li family immediately! I won't allow you to marry a man of questionable character!" Li Tingmo became more and more angry as he spoke. He couldn't understand how such a big change could have happened in just a few days.

Shen Jinci looked at Bian Yue's back, canceled the hands-free mode, and put the phone to his ear, "Unruly? Who are you referring to?"

Li Tingmo was stunned. He intuitively felt that the voice was so familiar, but he couldn't believe it.

Impossible, how is this possible?
"You" Li Tingmo was at a loss for words, "You are."

"Shen Jinci." The man's tone was dull, his emotions were buried between the lines, and the pressure was overwhelming, "Bian Yue's husband."

Li Tingmo was so scared that he sat back down, looking embarrassed and saying, "Mr. Shen Shen."

"I will help Bian Yue deal with her inheritance. If you have any problems, you can contact me directly in the future." Shen Jinci's tone was flat, without a trace of warmth.

"Mr. Shen, your child Bian Yue is young and ignorant. How can she be the wife of the head of the Shen family? She has been spoiled by Si Heng for many years and has no law to follow. You can't stand it."

Li Tingmo racked his brains and spoke tactfully, but all he said was to dissuade her, "If you like Bian Yue's personality, there are many suitable women in Hong Kong."

Shen Jinci looked at Bian Yue who was standing with her back to him. She was really thin, and her back was frail and so unreal that it seemed like a dream.

The rain outside was getting heavier and white lightning began to streak across the sky.

Shen Jinci only focused on looking at Bian Yue's lonely figure.

He said, "But I only like Bianyue."

Thunder roared, drowning out Shen Jinci's answer in the rumbling thunder.

Bian Yue didn't hear it, like a small drifting sailboat, nervous about the thunder and lightning in front of her.

She was about to cover her ears when Shen Jinci came from behind her and hugged her tenderly. He said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

　Happy listing! Happy May Day!
