Chapter 72 I Like You
There was really no apology in his tone, and the pressure from the superior was clearly visible at this moment. He lowered his eyes to look at her, his long eyelashes hiding the hostility in his eyes, leaving only a calmness that made people dare not guess.

He said calmly: "Yueyue, are you here to ask for a divorce from me?"

The little girl's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at him.

At that moment, Shen Jinci felt as if his heart was easily held in someone's hands.

With just a little effort, she could make him wish for death.

Will she ask for a divorce?
If she told me, what should I do?
Promise her?
No, this is impossible, he would rather do whatever it takes to keep her by his side. He will give her the best of everything to compensate for her lost freedom.

He was not a good person to begin with. He had never done a good deed in his life. He was selfish and indifferent to the world.

So why should he go against his own nature?
He was not a gentleman at all.

Thinking of this, the hostility in Shen Jinci's eyes grew stronger and stronger.

But the next moment, he saw Bian Yue's red eyes.

So the evil thoughts just now receded easily like the tide.

Bian Yue is a princess. How could he use his dirty, shameful possession to trap her by his side?
如果
If she really wants to leave, it would be better to let her go free.

His nature told him to keep her at all costs, but love told him to let go.

Shen Jinci smiled bitterly and sighed in his heart.

Bian Yue looked at Shen Jinci in surprise, obviously not expecting that he would think of this.

"Why do you think..." Bian Yue was speechless for a moment. She paused and said, "Why do you think I would want a divorce because of this? Shen Jinci, it's really not the case. I just want to know why you lied to me."

How wonderful it was that his little moon was always kinder than he imagined.

Shen Jinci raised his hand and touched Bian Yue's face, his fingers were cold and trembling slightly.

He curled his lips, his voice getting lower and lower, "You just want to know why I lied to you?"

Bian Yue nodded. She was calm and composed, not even angry at all. She said, "Shouldn't you tell me?"

"I thought you wanted to divorce me." Shen Jinci pursed his lips calmly, suppressing the panic that was about to burst out.

He was afraid of losing her.

terrified.

"Shen Jinci, marriage is not a joke, even though we are working together."

"It's not cooperation." The man spoke, gently interrupting her.

The astonishment in Bian Yue's eyes became more intense, and the helplessness in her eyes gradually deepened, "We."

"I like you." Shen Jinci said, "Bian Yue, I like you."

When Bian Yue heard this answer, she felt like her brain was shutting down.

Like, not like.

It's love, not like.

Multiple portions.

Bian Yue's heart seemed to be in pain. She didn't know how to respond for a moment. She could only stupidly follow his words and ask, "Do you love me?"

Shen Jinci gently held his face, and his eyes became more focused, saying word by word: "I love you."

So the answer is obvious.

"I'm not pretending to be sick, and my life is not hanging by a thread. How dare you marry me?"

It's that simple.

Bian Yue's breathing was slightly stagnant, and her voice became even more tense and deep, "You are pretending to be sick in order to marry me."

"Yes." Bian Yue was not a fool. She quickly guessed the whole story.

"So, the front-page headline of the Hong Kong Evening News is part of your plan."

"Yes."

"I broke up with Li Siheng, and I came to find you, which was also part of your plan."

Shen Jinci gently rubbed Bian Yue's lips with his fingertips, rubbing them slightly harder, leaving a deeper red color, "Yes."

"You tried every possible means to marry me because you love me." She said this without any confidence. Even though Shen Jinci had just admitted his love in person, Bian Yue was still unsure, and even she felt guilty.

"Yes, I love you." Shen Jinci's eyes softened. He kissed Bian Yue's forehead and praised her generously, "You are so smart, Princess Moon."

Bian Yue's eyelashes trembled unnaturally. She lowered her eyes and stood up in a panic, "I want to be alone for a while."

The moment he stood up, his wrist was grabbed.

Shen Jinci guessed that Bian Yue would retreat.

Tonight, he was grateful for her tolerance, but he also knew that he was being rude and reckless.

But now that things have come to this, if we don’t move forward, we will regress.

If he continued to indulge Bian Yue as before, the latter would only become more and more afraid to face him.

Therefore, Shen Jinci could only use tough measures to keep her.

He pulled her into his arms, holding her waist, gently but forcefully, "Are you angry?"

Bian Yue said no.

Shen Jinci said: "I didn't want to tell you this originally. I know you are sensitive and you will feel burdened if I tell you this, but today's incident happened suddenly and I can't continue to cover it up."

Bian Yue gritted her teeth and said bluntly: "I thought we were working together."

"We can still cooperate. My married status is a good bargaining chip for the head of the Shen family. Our cooperation will not change, and I don't need to make any response to my affection." He took the perspective of interests and rationality and was able to control himself.

He paused, and then said: "Yueyue, love does not require a response. This is just my personal choice, and you don't have to pay for it."

He was telling her that nothing would change, and he would not bind her in the name of love.

But Bian Yue looked at Shen Jinci, with such uneasiness in her eyes, she said: "But what do you love about me? Shen Jinci, what is there about me that is worthy of your love?"

"If I tell you everything, will it sound cliché?" he asked calmly, running his hand across her face and tidying up her falling hair.

Bian Yue pursed her lips, "A little bit."

Shen Jinci looked at Bian Yue's anxious eyes, her noble face, and her elegant smile. He said, "Yueyue, you are not me, how do you know it's not true? Maybe from another perspective, I have been waiting for you for a long time?"

"A long time ago? But when have we met before? How can we start with this long time ago?"

The confusion in Bian Yue's eyes was genuine. She looked at Shen Jinci and asked in confusion, "Shen Jinci, my memory is not that bad. If you have seen me a long time ago, how come I have no impression of you at all?"

I lowered my head and suddenly felt a small hard object in my hand.

Bian Yue looked closely and saw that it was the hard plastic red lighter.

Bian Yue remembered, "You said before that this is a gift from me to you."

Those were the words Shen Jinci said to himself when they were sitting in the pavilion on the day they got their marriage certificate.

But then and now, Bian Yue was just as confused.

She said: "I really don't remember when I sent you off."

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember, Yueyue. Maybe," he paused and spoke softly, "maybe, those things are no longer important. What matters is the result, and the result is that I love you very much."

Bian Yue's ears turned red. She was not a timid person. She had always tried to live a flamboyant life.
