Chapter 298 Which Baby
In the side hall of the temple, the wind was blowing coldly.

Shen Jinci stood in front of the tablet, looking silently at Bian Yue who was sitting under a tree in the courtyard in a daze.

Bian Yue saw a kitten, probably adopted by a kind-hearted monk. Under the mottled shadows of the trees, the kitten showed Bian Yue its soft white belly and cried out in a long voice.

Shen Jinci retracted his gaze and looked at the tablet again, his eyes calm, "I brought her to see you. Although she doesn't know you, I think you probably want to see her."

There was a moment of silence, Shen Jinci's Adam's apple rolled, he paused, and then said: "I will take good care of Bian Yue, don't worry. Brother, thank you for letting me return to the Shen family."

No matter how thorny this road was, it ultimately gave him a chance to meet and stand in front of Bian Yue.

For such an opportunity, he was willing to give up everything he had.

Bian Yue was playing with the kitten. She didn't know how long it had been. She looked up casually and saw Shen Jinci coming out with the tablet.
He stared at her without saying a word, his eyes were gentle and his tone was soft: "Yueyue, I will take you to rest."

That night, Bian Yue stayed in the temple's guest room.

It was the first time for Bian Yue to live in such a place, so it was inevitably new. She sat in front of Shen Jinci, wearing a slightly heavy pajamas, and said with a smile: "This is my first time living in a temple! Do you think you will dream of the Buddha at night?"

"You don't believe in Buddhism." Shen Jinci smiled and held Bian Yue in his arms. The night was as cool as water, and the sound of unknown insects came from afar. Shen Jinci looked down at Bian Yue and said softly, "If you like it here, we can stay a few more days."

Bian Yue knew that Shen Jinci was actually worried about her health.

"I'm really fine. I've been feeling much better recently. Jin Ci, I feel really at ease having you by my side." She spoke, emphasizing every word in order to express her firmness. Her eyes were bright as she looked at him seriously.

Shen Jinci was moved by her look, "Of course, you will be fine. Those bad things are in the past. Yueyue will be happy every day in the future."

Bian Yue's smile deepened, and she hugged Shen Jinci tightly, with a look of attachment on her face, "I think I was depressed because I was too tired some time ago, but now, you are always with me every day, I am really not tired anymore, I will recover, and I also want to welcome our baby with you."

Shen Jinci felt pain in his heart. His eyes met Bian Yue's suddenly raised eyebrows, and he couldn't help but be more gentle, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me suddenly?"

"Actually, I prayed to Buddha well today." Bian Yue said, "There are many red ribbons on the tree, and the incense at Ling'an Temple is very effective, so I also made a wish under the tree."

Shen Jinci asked her what she promised.

Bian Yue shook her head seriously and said solemnly: "I can't tell you for now. I will tell you when my wish comes true."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to tell me." Shen Jinci smiled and tucked the quilt in for Bian Yue. His voice was light and gentle, "It's late now. Baby, it's time to go to bed."

Bian Yue smiled and asked, "Which baby?"

Shen Jinci pinched her face, not willing to use too much force, and smiled softly, saying, "You."

Wen Jiao went to look for Bian Yue at night, but was told that Mr. Shen had taken Bian Yue out for a walk. So he came back empty-handed and returned home feeling a little disappointed.

Wen Yongwei was not asleep. In the darkness, he saw Wen Jiao coming back. His expression eased a little and he said softly, "Jiaojiao, come here." Wen Jiao was stunned. He looked at Wen Yongwei sitting in the dark in the hall and frowned, puzzled, "Dad, why don't you turn on the lights at night?"

Wen Jiao turned on the light while speaking.

Only then did she see Wen Yongwei sitting on the sofa in his pajamas, his hair a little messy, obviously having just woken up.

"Dad, are you feeling unwell?"

Wen Yongwei shook his head, patted the seat beside him, and motioned Wen Jiao to sit down.

Wen Jiao followed his instructions and looked at Wen Yongwei's slightly serious expression. She asked anxiously, "What's wrong? You look so ugly. Don't scare me in the middle of the night."

"Nothing, I just feel a little reluctant to let you get married soon." Wen Yongwei looked at Wen Jiao for a long time, then continued, "Jiao Jiao, do you really not regret it?"

"What is there to regret? That's Shen Zhaoli. If I marry him, you won't have to suffer so much in the future." Wen Jiao was calm and frank. She said, "It is a child's privilege to get what you like. I have grown up. I can't let you protect me from the wind and rain for the rest of my life. I can't continue to dream."

In Wen Yongwei's heart, Wen Jiao has always been the little girl who stood behind him and staggered while learning to walk.

"You were born prematurely, so small, how come you have become a sensible adult now?" Wen Yongwei's eyes were filled with a touching smile, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Jiaojiao, your mother passed away early, and I was always afraid that I couldn't take good care of you by myself. Daddy has always been afraid that he didn't do well enough, so when you grow up, Daddy will let you do whatever you want to do."

"Dad." Wen Jiao's eyes were wet, and she choked softly, "I know, I am the same, I hope you can be happy too."

"Of course Daddy is happy. Jiaojiao has always been by Daddy's side, and Daddy is already very satisfied. But... Daddy is afraid that you will be unhappy in the future." Wen Yongwei held Wen Jiao's hand, suddenly smiled, and said: "Do you think I don't know that you like Wei Shuqian? He proposed to me at that time that he wanted to marry you. Although you didn't say anything, Daddy could see that you were willing."

"dad"

"Shen Zhaoli is different. Although you are willing, it is not because you like him. Jiaojiao, Daddy is just an ordinary father. His greatest wish in life is that his daughter can marry someone he likes."

Wen Yongwei sighed, his voice even heavier, "I've been thinking about it over the past two days, and I still think I should give it another try. Let me ask you what you think, Jiaojiao. Dad doesn't want you to regret it for the rest of your life."

Wen Jiao listened to Wen Yongwei's heartfelt words of care, but all she could think of were the words Shen Zhaoli had told her.

She felt more and more that Shen Zhaoli was right.

Her father has been planning for her all his life. Should she make him feel uneasy and worried now?

"Dad, I am willing to marry Shen Zhaoli. I don't like him, but I don't hate him either. He is a very good person." Wen Jiao held Wen Yongwei's hand and said in a firmer tone, "I believe that over time, I will fall in love with him."

The uneasiness on Wen Yongwei's face finally faded away.

After Wen Jiao left, Wen Yongwei picked up the phone on the table and spoke in a calm tone, "Did you hear what my daughter said? Don't bother her anymore."

The man on the other end didn't say anything. After a brief silence, he hung up the phone.
