Chapter 326 Finale ()
Shen Zhaoli picked up the jade Buddha, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "This kind of jade is not easy to find. Are you just asking me to give it to Bian Yue instead of giving it to her in person?"
"No." Xie Zhang said, "I'm leaving Hong Kong today."
"My brother and the others haven't come back yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Shen Zhaoli stopped smiling and said, "We haven't gotten together for a long time, can't we wait a little longer?"
"I dreamed about Jiayi these two days." Xie Zhang raised the corners of his lips slightly, but his smile was very faint.
Under Shen Zhaoli's silent gaze, Xie Zhang's eyes were deep and unfathomable, and no one knew what he was thinking.
He spoke again, his tone becoming even lighter: "I got the call records of Jiayi before she died, but until now, I still don't have the courage to listen to it. Zhaoli, there is an evil ghost in my heart, and that evil ghost keeps telling me that I deserve to go to hell."
Shen Zhaoli had a complicated expression and for a moment, he didn't know what to say to comfort the man in front of him.
He and Xie Zhang were not familiar with each other, but with the relationship of Shen Jinci, he could not just stand by and watch, so he paused and said: "Don't think too much, if you are unhappy, just go out for a walk."
Xie Zhang nodded and did not continue the conversation. He looked at Shen Zhaoli and changed the subject, saying with a smile, "By the way, I almost forgot to ask you, how about you? How do you feel after marrying Wen Jiao?"
"It's good. Wen Jiao's family is very warm and his father is a very kind person. I think he is much better than when he was alone." He said this with a gentle look in his eyes and a deeper smile. "I didn't know before that having elders at home is like this. I want to wait until my mother is more conscious and take Wen Jiao to see her. He will definitely like Wen Jiao very much."
Xie Zhang knew very well who really liked Wen Jiao.
Shen Zhaoli was not a talkative person, but when he mentioned Wen Jiao, his concern was evident between the lines.
If I didn't really love you deeply, how could this happen?
Xie Zhang was just puzzled, "Zhao Li, when you were with Wen Jiao, did you ever think that there might be many twists and turns in the future?"
This was not said literally, but Shen Zhaoli understood the hidden meaning behind Xie Zhang's words.
He put down the jade Buddha in his hand, his fox eyes smiled lazily, but he was determined to win. He said: "Marriage is not a tool for exchanging interests, and love cannot be measured by value. With Wen Jiao in my arms, other troubles and difficulties are not worth mentioning."
Perhaps it was because the high-spirited look on Shen Zhaoli's face was too dazzling, or perhaps it was because he was too cold-blooded back then, Xie Zhang felt as if something had stabbed his heart hard, blood gushed out, and there was an indescribable sharp pain.
His face turned pale, he smiled, and said softly: "You are right, if you are with the person you love deeply, then everything else is not worth mentioning."
Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already March.
Bian Yue was a little pregnant and her steps became more clumsy.
She is often sleepy and doesn't stay awake for long, always feeling sleepy.
Shen Jinci had a lot of colorful daisies airlifted in, filling an entire room.
It’s just because the doctor said that pregnant women should look at more colorful flowers and plants, which is good for their health.
I don’t see Bian Yue very often, but I take care of it every day over a long period of time.
In Kang Yu's words, the flower is not worth much, but Mr. Shen has spent so much time on it that even the fish eyes are pearls.
There was still heavy snow on the island that day. Bian Yue was sleeping in a rocking chair nearby, her face flushed by the firelight.
Li Siheng usually just watched Shen Jinci take care of Bian Yue, and they didn't have much interaction.
It was a surprise that the two of them could coexist peacefully under the same roof.
"Jin Ci, water." Bian Yue woke up and did it as usual.
Shen Jinci was cooking in the kitchen. Li Siheng paused with his hand holding the newspaper, then put it down, stood up, poured a glass of water and handed it to Bian Yue.
Bian Yue didn't even look at anyone, she drank it all in one breath, then smiled and handed the cup to Li Siheng, saying coquettishly, "It's not hot enough." "Got it."
Bian Yue woke up from her nap, looked up, and saw Li Siheng taking the cup of water with an expressionless face and walking aside.
Bian Yue's throat suddenly felt a little itchy.
She coughed muffledly and said apologetically, "Sorry, I thought it was Jin Ci."
Li Siheng's hand holding the water cup suddenly shook uncontrollably. There was a red glow in his eyes. He subconsciously tightened his hand, and his knuckles turned white.
There was an unreal thought lingering in Li Siheng's mind - Bian Yue had not spoken to him for a long time.
They lived under the same roof, but had almost no communication.
This is probably another form of punishment.
"It doesn't matter." Li Siheng said: "Bian Yue, the snow will stop in a few days. Then you and Shen Jinci can go back."
"What about you? Where are you going?" Bian Yue's voice came from behind him, gentle and relieved, "Li Siheng, you will never go back?"
Li Siheng lowered his eyes to hide the complicated emotions in his eyes. He knew that Bian Yue couldn't see him because his back was facing her, but he still smiled and said softly, "Well, we're not going back."
"Then, take care of yourself." Bian Yue said, "Take care of yourself."
She is obviously so much younger than me, but now, she looks more like an adult.
At this moment, Li Siheng felt so clearly his own meanness and cruelty.
He closed his eyes to hide the bloodshot in them and whispered, "Bian Yue, I'm sorry."
The room became very quiet.
Bian Yue didn't say anything.
She was speechless for a moment as she listened to Li Siheng's apology.
Shen Jinci finally came out of the kitchen.
White smoke spread out behind him, washing away his cold and indifferent temperament, making him look much more gentle.
He seemed not to notice the awkward atmosphere between Bian Yue and Li Siheng. He just walked towards Bian Yue, squatted down, pinched her face, and said, "It's time to eat."
Bian Yue smiled, and her voice softened unconsciously, "Then tell me first, what delicious food do you have?"
"Didn't you ask for sweet and sour pork ribs last night? I made it today."
"You've learned a new dish again?" Bian Yue opened her eyes wide in shock: "Shen Jinci, how come you know everything!"
"Then you should eat more, as a token of your affirmation to me." Shen Jinci said with a smile.
After dinner, Li Siheng stood up and started to clear the table.
Shen Jinci held his wrist and said calmly, "I can do it."
"You stay with Bian Yue." Li Siheng said, "If Bian Yue wants to drink water, you know what the temperature should be."
Bian Yue saw that there was something else in the two people's conversation and was about to say something when she suddenly felt a pain in her calf.
She groaned, a very slight sound, but Shen Jinci noticed it immediately. He looked at Bian Yue nervously and whispered, "What's wrong?"
