After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash
Chapter 102: What Standing

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: What Standing

Bian Yue said, "I don’t love you, yet I live recklessly relying on your love, which is unfair to you, Shen Jinci. You are a kind person, and you deserve complete love."

"Bian Yue, I don’t need complete love," Shen Jinci’s hand rested on Bian Yue’s left chest, probing gently over an indistinct distance, his voice was low and husky, "If it’s you, as long as it’s love, I don’t mind what kind it is."

Bian Yue was startled, looking at Shen Jinci’s earnest expression, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped. She felt cherished yet also guilty.

But Shen Jinci had clearly offered everything, his every expression seemed to say, all is up to you.

He had given her the power of life and death over him.

Bian Yue grasped Shen Jinci’s hand; the man’s fingertips were warm. Bian Yue held tight and whispered, "Shen Jinci, I can’t be so heartless. If I give you my love, it will be wholeheartedly. Right now... I can’t give it to you yet, but give me some time, maybe..."

Bian Yue’s eyes curved, revealing a soft smile, she firmly said word by word, "Maybe, I can give you my love."

Shen Jinci thought to himself, indeed, he had played a selfish game this night.

Relying on Bian Yue’s gratitude and concern, he demanded her compensation and sincerity...

Days silently passed, for the most part, life goes on in such a peaceful and stable manner.

The day Bian Yue received her inheritance was an unremarkable sunny day.

Li Sihe’s actions were quicker than Bian Yue had imagined.

His health was failing, but he had settled everything accordingly.

In the VIP special care ward at the city center, sunlight entered the room, absent for a long time.

Bian Yue and Shen Jinci sat beside Li Sihe, watching the sickly man retrieve a stack of documents from the drawer.

"The inheritance transfer process is almost complete. These are the documents and materials. A lawyer will come in a few days to finalize the details with you, Yueyue. This is all I can do for you now."

After Li Sihe had finished speaking, he handed the documents to Bian Yue.

Bian Yue took them silently, heavy in her hands like a brick pressed onto her heart.

"Your health isn’t good. You could have had your uncle handle these matters with me, Li Sihe. You didn’t have to go through so much trouble." Bian Yue frowned and finally spoke, her voice hoarse, "Please take care of yourself."

Shen Jinci was sitting beside her, his face remained unruffled as he heard her say these words.

It was uncertain whether Shen Jinci was pretending to be indifferent or truly did not care.

"I am well aware of my own health. During this time alone in the hospital, I’ve thought about a lot, Yueyue. I have made many mistakes; I hope you can forgive me." His voice was weak, an unhealthy paleness to it.

He was such a charming and gentle gentleman. Aside from the unforgettable betrayals, he had always treated her well.

Bian Yue’s heart ached, and she spoke again, her voice choking with emotion, "Li Sihe, it’s hard for me to blame you."

The smile on Li Sihe’s face grew more faint. He looked at Bian Yue before him, yet felt the distance between them was immeasurable.

The young girl had let go of the past, thus also letting go of hatred.

Li Sihe knew very well that when he handed over the inheritance documents to Bian Yue, the best outcome between them was to part ways forever.

Of course, the time they shared did exist, but their relationship could no longer return to what it was.

Li Sihe’s throat ached fiercely, like the dull pain of a blunt knife cutting flesh, each slice bleeding profusely.

He watched Bian Yue in silence. Finally, in the quiet room, he softly said, "Yueyue, I would like to have a few words with Shen Jinci. Could you please step out and wait for him?"

Bian Yue looked towards Shen Jinci, and the man nodded slightly.

So Bian Yue stood up, "Take your time, I will wait outside."

Inside the ward, the two men sat in calm.

It was Shen Jinci who spoke first, his voice bland, "I will call off the pressure on Fengcheng Group’s international assets. It was wrong of me; I didn’t expect you to return Bian Yue’s possessions to her directly."

"If I hadn’t returned it, or delayed the handover, Mr. Shen, how would you have treated the Li Family?" Li Sihe asked calmly, his voice betraying no anger.

"There have been precedents of the Li Family breaking their word. Concerning Bian Yue, your father’s one-sided promises hold no credibility with me. Hence, if you didn’t return Bian Yue’s inheritance on time, I would spare no expense to bleed the Li Family dry."

Towards the end, his words were naked violence.

Li Sihe studied him, his smile unfading, "Often I feel that Mr. Shen, you don’t belong in our class; your methods are too dirty, too ruthless."

Many things should not be brought to light. What Shen Jinci did in the distant lands overseas is well known between the two.

"My actions are not about methods, only results. As long as the outcome is favorable, nothing else matters. Li Sihe, now that my wife has received what she wanted, what does the Li Family want?"

Li Sihe gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Do you really see me that way? You think I kept you here just to negotiate with you for some benefits for the Li Family? Shen Jinci, I am indeed no saint, but I wouldn’t use Bian Yue’s affairs to trade for advantages."

"Then what is your purpose in seeking me out?" Shen Jinci looked at Li Sihe indifferently.

The man already had an unapproachable face, and with no expression now, he seemed even more detached and distant, as though set upon a high pedestal, utterly devoid of pity or tenderness.

Fortunately, Li Sihe was also a hardened individual.

Li Sihe lowered his gaze, his peach blossom eyes still, as if dredging up ice from a deep blue ocean, equally cold.

"Shen Jinci, I hope you can divorce Bian Yue."

Shen Jinci stared back coldly, a harsh glance crossing his face, "On what grounds do you demand I divorce Bian Yue? Li Sihe, perhaps you overestimate yourself."

"I am not speaking out of self-interest. The reason I say this is entirely for Bian Yue." Li Sihe looked steadfastly at Shen Jinci, his expression serious, full of earnest effort, "You love her now, you’re willing to argue and negotiate with your family for her, but love isn’t a long-term guarantee. One day, if Bian Yue becomes a well-known vulnerability of yours, no one will spare her."

Li Sihe sat up from the bed, his usually gentle eyes rimmed red, "Do you think I don’t love Bian Yue? Human nature is complex, many things cannot be managed just by love or care. If in this world, only one person wishes for Bian Yue’s happiness, then that person must be me. Shen Jinci, I don’t believe that your love for Bian Yue will allow you to face sacrifice without flinching in the future."

Shen Jinci took out a hard-shell lighter from his pocket and toyed with it, asking indifferently, "What sacrifice are you referring to?"
