After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash
Chapter 103: Growing Flesh and Blood

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Growing Flesh and Blood

Li Sihe gave a desolate smile, his hand clenched into a fist. The blood in his IV needle flowed backwards, but he couldn’t care less, his voice chilled, "You sit at the highest position in the Shen Family; you cannot shirk your responsibilities, nor betray your clan. For you, Bian Yue’s existence is merely icing on the cake."

"But Bian Yue is naive, and she doesn’t know how to be the wife of a top family. Sooner or later, you’ll grow tired of her innocence and simplicity. Shen Jinci, we are both men, and I don’t believe anyone’s love can last forever."

Li Sihe paused, then continued, "But now, Bian Yue already possesses everything of the Bian Family. I am confident that I can let her live carefree for the rest of her life, and no matter who she wants to be with in the future, I will never rudely interfere. I know I can’t give her the fulfillment she desires, but in the end, Shen Jinci, you and I are the same. Neither of us can give her that. We aren’t suited for Bian Yue."

Shen Jinci calmly listened to Li Sihe’s words. Indeed, the man spoke with enough calmness and rationality.

People like them weren’t suited for Bian Yue. If this were a fairy tale, the little princess would of course be suited for a gentle and virtuous prince charming.

But like Li Sihe, when all is said and done, they’re both heartless businessmen.

Specifically, standing at the pinnacle of all life, looking down from above for so long, their heartlessness only grew.

Li Sihe’s concerns were not without reason.

"I understand what you mean. You think that now I’m fond of Bian Yue, that I’d do everything for her, but this doesn’t mean I’ll love her forever. People’s hearts change easily, especially men’s love. It’s the most unreliable thing, right?"

Shen Jinci’s fingertips grazed the grinding wheel, the flames jumping. He looked intently, asking casually.

"Yes, I also know that now if I ask you to divorce Bian Yue, you will not agree. But Shen Jinci, can you at least promise me that before you prepare to do something that will hurt Bian Yue, please let her go free?" Li Sihe compromised, his voice growing heavy.

Shen Jinci frowned, observing the man’s earnest demeanor, his lips slightly pursed.

Sometimes, Shen Jinci would still be jealous of Li Sihe.

He easily had seven years of Bian Yue’s time, had her wholehearted love. Even though that love has now vanished, he still had the confidence to earnestly request it in front of him.

Because Bian Yue truly cared about him, giving him the upper hand.

"Li Sihe, I’m not one for explanations, and I like even less to explain to those who are irrelevant. But I can promise you that I won’t hurt Bian Yue. As for the power of the Shen Family, in my opinion, it’s not as important as Bian Yue."

He spoke so calmly, earning a sarcastic laugh from Li Sihe.

"The Shen Family isn’t as important as Bian Yue? Shen Jinci, it’s just the two of us here, there’s no need for pretense. I won’t go to Bian Yue to complain about you, so why play the saint?"

His voice carried anger.

"What’s there for me to pretend? I don’t care about the Shen Family; to me, it is of little consequence, so your request is invalid here." Shen Jinci stood up, looking at Li Sihe serenely, and spoke lightly, "I don’t want to explain to you how I can be so certain, but I assure you, Bian Yue is always my first choice. As for your talk about a change of heart..."

Shen Jinci laughed, an indifferent demeanor, his eyes lowered as he watched Li Sihe, each word clear and cold, "I am inherently heartless. It is Bian Yue’s existence that gave my heart flesh and blood..."

Too sentimental a statement; even though Li Sihe was so sure before, now he couldn’t help but be stunned.

He watched Shen Jinci turn and leave, and for a long time, he maintained the same posture, like a lifeless tree...

Li Sihe thought, is there such a thing as profound love? People all have their selfish desires. He had done everything he could, hadn’t he? With him, Bian Yue’s existence was already second only to that of the Li Family. For people in their social class, that was the utmost that could be done.

But just now, Shen Jinci had asserted that Bian Yue would always be his first choice.

Li Sihe laughed in such a manner, all by himself in the hospital room, softly scoffing.

Bian Yue stood in the hospital corridor, watching the sun, the stack of thick documents in her hand giving her a sense of settled relief.

She looked out the window at the scenery, her expression very calm.

When Shen Jinci approached her, he lightened his steps.

"Yueyue, let’s go, let’s go home."

Hearing Shen Jinci’s voice, Bian Yue came back to her senses. She instinctively looked towards the direction of the hospital room, feeling uneasy, "What did Li Sihe talk to you about?"

"Nothing much, just a reminder to take good care of you, and if I ever stop loving you, to let you go free."

The word ’love’, coming from Shen Jinci’s mouth, was indescribably tender.

Bian Yue blinked, asking softly, "What did you say?"

"Want to know?"

"Not really..." Bian Yue coughed gently, saying, "It’s just a casual question, let’s go."

Shen Jinci hadn’t planned on telling Bian Yue. Some things, once spoken, are much less persuasive than action.

In fact, Shen Jinci had only said "I love you" to Bian Yue once.

Not because he didn’t want to say it anymore, but because such words, when said too often, can sometimes become a burden.

Shen Jinci did not want to put any pressure on Bian Yue.

He always hoped the little girl would be happy by his side.

When entering the elevator, Bian Yue received a call from anny. Anny said, "Yao Yimin’s schedule has now been cleared, President Bian, when you have time, we can discuss the script with her in person."

Wang Dan’an’s willingness to let go of Yao Yimin, allowing her to replace the late Shi An’an in "Shengshi Yan", and doing so with such eagerness, was beyond Bian Yue’s expectations.

"So soon, Yao Yimin agreed?" Bian Yue paused in surprise.

After all, getting a movie queen to act in an historical idol drama was no easy task.

"The specific details I am not clear on, but it’s said that Yao Yimin really likes the script. She spent two all-nighters reading it, and then made her decision," anny’s voice was excited, she said, "President Bian, no matter what, this is good news! Why not come to the company tomorrow?"

Bian Yue agreed, and before hanging up, she asked about how Meng Qi and Ah Si were doing with their training lately.

"They are both very serious, it’s just that they still need to work on acting. Their agent suggested to me, wondering if we should first send them to participate in variety shows, I’m still considering it."

Bian Yue mused, pausing for a moment, then said, "Alright, I’ll come to the company tomorrow, let’s have a meeting, and discuss all the recent matters."

After chatting with anny, the elevator doors just happened to open, and Shen Jinci wrapped an arm around Bian Yue’s shoulders as they entered the elevator, the corners of his eyes carrying a careless smile.

Bian Yue curiously looked at him, asking, "What are you laughing at?"
