Chapter 101: Sharing a Lifetime Together

Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Sharing a Lifetime Together

Bian Yue is not the type to be fussy or make a fuss. She never hesitates when confronting her own feelings.

So she said, "Of course, Shen Jinci, I will care about you."

I will certainly care about you.

A simple sentence like that was enough to satisfy Shen Jinci.

He touched Bian Yue’s head and said with a smile, "Okay, let’s go to sleep, shall we?"

After saying this, without waiting for Bian Yue to reply, he picked her up and headed toward the bedroom.

Bian Yue’s face was pressed against Shen Jinci’s chest; his voice emanating from within his chest, sounding more magnetic and alluring than ever.

He said, "Yueyue, I slept very well tonight, I haven’t slept this well in a long time."

"Is that so... Is it because you’ve been too tired these past few days, so you slept more deeply? Is that it?"

"No, it’s because I was sleeping by your side, Bian Yue. Can I... sleep with you from now on?"

The two of them had already entered Bian Yue’s bedroom. Shen Jinci did not put her down but instead looked down at her with downcast eyes.

All of Bian Yue’s reliance was on his arms alone.

So, somewhat nervous and unsure, Bian Yue said, "Your... your request is a bit sudden, isn’t it?"

"A little."

It was Bian Yue’s turn to fall silent.

While Shen Jinci watched her silently, a faint smile playing around the corner of his lips. He put Bian Yue on the bed and said softly, "I’m joking. Just for today, after today, I will still return to my own room. Yueyue, I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable."

Bian Yue propped herself up on the soft sheets, looking at Shen Jinci’s face that was very close and inexplicably felt a pang of tenderness.

She didn’t know what was over her, only that subconsciously she did not want Shen Jinci to be disappointed, so she slowly said, "We can..."

Shen Jinci looked at her and gently asked, "We can what?"

"We can sleep together, if... if you really have insomnia." Bian Yue paused, then added, "But I have bad sleeping habits, I might grind my teeth at night."

A profound smile appeared in Shen Jinci’s eyes, he pinched Bian Yue’s cheek, and asked her, "Grind teeth?"

"Yeah!" Bian Yue said, "I once recorded it using a sleep monitoring app."

"Next time if I hear it, I will record it for you too." Shen Jinci’s tone was still gentle, but with a touch of teasing.

Bian Yue blushed and tried to cover his mouth, indignantly saying, "No way! You can’t have this kind of black history on another person’s phone!"

Shen Jinci just held her hand, kissing the sweaty palm of her hand.

He said, "I’m just kidding, I can’t hear anything."

Bian Yue coughed lightly, she felt that Shen Jinci was a bit alluring this way; lately, she did not know why, but when she looked at him, she suddenly felt uneasy.

So Bian Yue changed the subject, saying, "You haven’t told me yet, what were you doing when you were 24?"

"Me at 24? That was already 5 years ago..."

Shen Jinci seemed to be contemplating as he sat by Bian Yue’s side, naturally playing with her hair, his gaze deep and gentle, "That was the second year after my father’s death; I formally took over all the affairs of the Shen Family, I was busy every day, endless meetings, endless people to meet."

From those concise words of Bian Yue, she read much information.

She looked at Shen Jinci with a pained expression and in a softened voice said, "Shen Jinci... you must have had a hard time back then?"

Had it been tough?

Actually, Shen Jinci didn’t feel that way.

Compared to the days of living on the edge, managing a seemingly clean Shen Family was not difficult at all.

In fact, one might even say he was right in his element.

He didn’t feel it was tough, he just found some of those impeccably dressed elites sometimes so hypocritical that it was nauseating.

But the little girl’s eyes were so soft and moist, so full of concern.

Thus, Shen Jinci smiled and sighed in all seriousness, "Yes, it was very tough indeed."

Bian Yue thought back to that year, she had lived relatively smoothly; no matter what, Li Sihe had provided her with a carefree environment, allowing her to grow as she wished.

But Shen Jinci, he faced the cold arrows and blades of the entire Shen Family alone.

Bian Yue frowned deeply, empathizing with him, and earnestly said, "You’ve really not had it easy, Shen Jinci. I hope you can have it easier in the future, and I’ve told you, anytime you need me for anything, don’t be polite, just speak up!"

Shen Jinci thought to himself that he was actually a nasty person deep down.

Faced with Bian Yue’s sincere words, he felt selfish and asked her, "Anything?"

Bian Yue also firmly said, "Anything."

The man’s hand gently caressed Bian Yue’s cool face; the high and mighty looking down, staring into her eyes, he said, "Then can I ask for your love? Yueyue, can you share a bit of your love with me?"

For a moment, Bian Yue was at a loss for words.

Love, it’s supposed to come from the heart.

Currently, for Shen Jinci, Bian Yue undoubtedly felt too much gratitude; it was so heavy that many other emotions were mixed in and became indistinguishable.

"I..." Bian Yue lowered her eyes, not daring to look into Shen Jinci’s eyes, she was caught in a deep struggle, taking a long time to make up her mind, then with grave earnestness, she said, "Shen Jinci, I... I will try my best, to try to like you."

Such a childish thing to say.

Many things are not achievable through mere efforts.

Shen Jinci scrutinized Bian Yue’s face; the little girl was like a bright moon, pretty and sitting in front of him, yet so elusive. He restrained his impulse to pull her into his bones and softly pressed, "And afterwards? Once you like me, Yueyue, what do you plan to do?"

Bian Yue was somewhat clear about the implication of Shen Jinci’s words.

She looked at him with her starkly contrasting black and white eyes and asked him, "Shen Jinci, do you... do you not want to separate from me?"

What she actually wanted to ask was, do you no longer want to divorce me, even after everything has settled.

Shen Jinci didn’t consider himself a good man, so when he spoke, he could be frank; he said, "Yes, Yueyue, I don’t want to divorce you, I don’t want to be apart from you."

Their agreement was, once Bian Yue got her inheritance back and Shen Jinci stabilized the Lixing situation, the two would naturally separate.

But now, Shen Jinci said he didn’t want to.

Bian Yue’s fingertips dug into her flesh, bringing a sharp, dense pain.

She was in turmoil; at this moment, she couldn’t give Shen Jinci any direct answer.

"I... I don’t know if my feelings for you can support us truly spending our lives together." Bian Yue spoke earnestly, "Shen Jinci, honestly, I don’t mind spending my life with you, that’s nothing but gain for me, but that’s not fair to you."

"Why isn’t it fair?" the man asked calmly.

Bian Yue said, "I don’t love you, yet I live without restraint on your love, that’s not fair to you, Shen Jinci, you are a good person, you deserve complete love."
