Chapter 205
It was already late, almost dawn, when Bian Yue returned home.

She had sent a text message to Shen Jinci in advance, saying that she would be home late tonight, so she was inevitably surprised when she saw Shen Jinci still waiting for her in the hall.

"Jin Ci, why haven't you slept yet?" Bian Yue was stunned and asked puzzledly: "Didn't I tell you to go to bed early?"

"I slept too much and just woke up." Shen Jinci was wearing home clothes, and his usual cold temperament was reduced.

He walked towards Bian Yue, took the bag from her naturally, and took off her coat for her. He looked at the grayness in Bian Yue's eyes and said softly, "Why are you so busy right after your birthday? Yueyue, I hope you can take care of yourself, okay?"

"Today..." Bian Yue paused, looked at Shen Jinci, and said softly, "Today I met Lu Zhinian."

"Well, I understand. This is your work matter. You can decide for yourself," Shen Jinci touched Bian Yue's hair and said distressedly, "It's late now. Go to bed first, okay?"

Bian Yue frowned, held Shen Jinci's wrist, and said nervously, "But, I...I want to tell you right now."

Shen Jinci looked at all the complicated emotions on Bian Yue's face. He lowered his eyes and asked, "Do I have to tell you today?"

"must."

"Okay, then you eat something first and we'll talk slowly."

The midnight snack was sweet porridge prepared by Shen Jinci, which was made with honey and red dates and had a light taste.

Just as Shen Jinci guessed, Bian Yue really didn't have time to eat properly today.

She scooped up the sweet porridge and ate most of it before finally speaking, "I met Lu Zhinian today because I signed a cooperation agreement with him. Jin Ci, I didn't tell you before that Xinghe and I have always had dealings. I did struggle between Lixing and Xinghe for a long time, and now, after repeated evaluations and considerations, my first choice is not Lixing."

Shen Jinci saw the anxiety in Bian Yue's eyes.

She must be afraid of getting angry.

Shen Jinci's jade-like face was cold and indifferent, his gaze was soft and indifferent, his temperament was noble and restrained, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Bian Yue said uneasily in his silence: "Shen Jinci, if you have anything to say to me, just say it. I am sorry for you in this matter. I shouldn't have broken the promise."

"Yueyue, I just have a question for you."

"Tell me." Bian Yue asked quickly, "What do you want to ask?"

Shen Jinci's eyes were calm, his emotions were not agitated, and he said slowly: "I just want to ask you, why didn't you tell me in advance, but waited until everything was settled?"

Bian Yue's face turned pale, she clenched the spoon in her hand, and said helplessly, "I don't know how to tell you, Jin Ci, I really don't want to."

"Yueyue," Shen Jinci interrupted Bian Yue softly, "You chose Xinghe over Lixing out of considerations of interest and rationality. You did a good job. You have nothing to apologize to me for. I am proud of your decision. I know you gave up your sensibility."

Bian Yue looked at Shen Jinci in surprise.

Shen Jinci suddenly changed the subject and said, "It's just that you should have trusted me. You should have told me about this in advance."

There was a shattered light in Bian Yue's eyes. She put down the spoon, walked to Shen Jinci, and said in an uneasy voice, "Yes, I know. Are you angry?"

"No."

"You are obviously angry." Bian Yue's hands were a little cold. She touched Shen Jinci's face and whispered, "Shen Jinci, if you are angry, you will be mean to me."

"I'm not angry, but I don't want to be mean to you." Shen Jinci smiled and touched Bian Yue's hand. "Is this what you want to tell me?" "Yes"

"Now that you've finished speaking, let's go and have a rest?" Shen Jinci held Bian Yue's hand and said softly.

Bian Yue's nose felt slightly sour. She looked at her hand held by Shen Jinci, and stood there without moving.

She lowered her eyes, with mixed emotions, "Shen Jinci, I broke my promise. From your perspective as a husband, you can be angry."

Shen Jinci looked at Bian Yue's stubborn face, he smiled helplessly, and said softly: "Yueyue, from the perspective of a husband, I can't be angry with you. I will support you unconditionally no matter what decision you make. Even from the perspective of a partner, your behavior is understandable in my eyes."

Bian Yue's emotions calmed down a little. She came back so late today because deep down in her heart she didn't know how to face Shen Jinci.

But he just let it go so easily, with no intention of arguing or seeking an explanation with me.

He is more rational and mature than me.

Bian Yue let Shen Jinci take her back to the bedroom. She looked at his profile, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Until late at night, Bian Yue hugged Shen Jinci's waist and whispered, "I have already made preparations for today."

"What preparations?" Shen Jinci chuckled.

"You are ready to have a quarrel with me."

"Why should I quarrel with you? Just because Li Xing is not Honey's first choice? Bian Yue, business matters are originally a two-way choice. You have done a good job. You should do the same in the future."

Bian Yue's heart tightened slightly. She said, "Today, on my way back, I received a message from Shen Zhaoli. Shen Zhaoli asked me how I was thinking about the cooperation."

Shen Jinci touched her hair and said nonchalantly: "So, what does Yueyue think now?"

Bian Yue lowered her eyes and whispered, "I still want to cooperate with Li Xing."

"Is that so?" Shen Jinci sighed, understanding what Bian Yue meant. "You want Li Xing to give up his shares in Mi Tang and become the second largest shareholder based on the previous cooperation, right?"

"Yes," Bian Yue hugged Shen Jinci tightly, her voice was hoarse, "Shen Jinci, am I asking for too much?"

"Yueyue, if you can get it, it must be because the board thinks it is worth it. I won't stop you from doing anything, nor will I help you. As I said before, you don't have to worry."

Bian Yue finally felt at ease when she heard Shen Jinci's calm voice.

A strong sense of drowsiness came over me, "Shen Jinci, I'm a little sleepy."

"Go to sleep." Shen Jinci patted her head gently.

Bian Yue fell asleep quickly, so she didn't know that Shen Zhaoli came in the rain late at night.

In the study, Shen Zhaoli frowned and looked at Shen Jinci, speechless with astonishment, "Bian Yue cooperated with Xinghe without even saying hello to you, Shen Jinci, you really indulged her too much."

"She is the decision maker for Honey. She makes decisions and is only responsible for Honey." Shen Jinci said calmly, "Why did you come here so late today?"

"Okay, whatever you want." Shen Zhaoli sat on the sofa, frowned, threw a USB drive on the low table, and said in a cold and serious voice: "You guessed it, Li Siheng is investigating you recently."
