Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Here for a Marriage Proposal

The little girl looked at him, her eyes drowsy and smiling. She said, "Is it dawn? Are we going to hang out now?"

"It’s still early." Shen Jinci’s voice was gentle as he kissed the top of Bian Yue’s hair and softly said, "You can sleep a bit longer."

Bian Yue rubbed her eyes, struggling to open them. She yawned and asked, "What time is it now?"

Shen Jinci said it was 5 o’clock.

Suddenly energized, Bian Yue sat up and said, "Shen Jinci, do you want to see my secret base?"

Shen Jinci asked her where the secret base was.

Bian Yue said Xiangjiang Girls’ High School, my high school, if we go there at this time, everyone should be in morning study.

Xiangjiang Girls’ High School and Weicheng High School are just separated by a street.

But at the same time, one side is brightly lit, and the other is dark and unlit.

As for Furong Street, it’s always bustling, unaffected by the passage of time, never appearing old.

Shen Jinci’s Cullinan was parked under the evergreen tree by the roadside, with a misty rain falling, dampening the fallen leaves on the ground, making them muddy and slippery when stepped on.

Bian Yue pulled Shen Jinci across the street but didn’t head toward the gate of Xiangjiang Girls’ High School. Instead, they moved towards the dark and unlit Weicheng Middle School.

Shen Jinci looked down at Bian Yue holding his hand, his eyes filled with an indistinct sense of turmoil.

He pursed his lips, suppressing the curling of the corners, and looked up at Bian Yue’s silhouette.

"Aren’t we going in?"

"I don’t like studying, my secret base isn’t inside the school," said Bian Yue. "It’s on the mountain behind Weicheng Middle School."

The "mountain" isn’t really that high.

Bian Yue led the way, her steps brisk throughout.

Shen Jinci maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far, close enough to touch her with an outstretched hand.

If the mountain path was slippery and she accidentally missed her step, he could steady her in an instant.

When they reached the mountaintop, the light rain had just stopped.

The sky was dim, shrouded in a layer of mist, with everything below the mountain indistinct.

Bian Yue pointed towards the hazy view, whispering, "I used to sit here and watch."

Shen Jinci turned his head to listen to her, his expression serious. He took off his expensive suit jacket and laid it on a low rock next to them, "Sit here and watch, the ground is cold."

Bian Yue stared at the suit for a moment, then looked up again with a brighter smile in her eyes. She sat down, leaving most of the space for Shen Jinci.

Bian Yue patted the space next to her, urging, "Come here, sit with me."

Shen Jinci, who had lived within the strict confines of the Shen Family for years, rarely acted out of bounds and seldom truly let go.

He felt a long-missed relaxation and sat down following Bian Yue’s gesture, a soft smile in his eyes.

Bian Yue said, "In a while, when the day brightens, there should be a dawn."

"Really? That must be very beautiful."

"I used to sit here, reminiscing about my mom and dad."

Bian Yue propped her cheek in her hand, her eyes half-closed and her expression lazy. She spoke in a soft, gentle voice, "Shen Jinci, besides Wen Jiao, you’re the first person to come here with me."

Shen Jinci understood the underlying meaning in Bian Yue’s words.

He didn’t say anything but stroked Bian Yue’s hair.

With a light and carefree tone, Bian Yue said softly, "Before, someone else also said they would come here with me, but they broke their promise."

That person was Li Sihe.

A young man’s careless promise that was never fulfilled.

Bian Yue no longer looked dejected, she calmly said, "But I feel really happy."

"Why?"

"Because you are kind to me, Shen Jinci, I don’t have much to own, and I don’t know what I can give you." Bian Yue spoke earnestly, unaware of the ambiguous closeness between them, she leisurely continued, "So, being able to bring you to this place that means so much to me, I’m very happy."

What Shen Jinci didn’t tell Bian Yue was that he knew this place.

It was in the real Shen Jinci’s journal.

That entirely aristocratic Shen Jinci, truly worthy of Bian Yue.

And now, as he looked at the Bian Yue before him, no matter how many times he saw her, it still made his heart wrench in a way he couldn’t express.

His face, however, betrayed nothing, as if it were only filled with a gentle smile, without a ripple.

Only Shen Jinci himself knew the fierce storms that raged in his heart.

Shen Jinci lowered his gaze, looking at Bian Yue’s serious profile, his elegantly indifferent face filled with deep affection, "Bian Yue, are you really happy?"

He asked with too much caution.

The moment Bian Yue subconsciously turned towards him, the sky was faintly bright.

And in this soft morning light, Bian Yue looked at him with a sure and earnest gaze, saying, "I’m very, very happy by your side."

She answered wholeheartedly, each word free from superficiality.

At the Wen Family estate.

Wen Jiao had just woken up from her sleep, also looking at the long-missed morning light.

She took a photo for Bian Yue and messaged, "Yueyue, the sun is lovely today, remember to go outside for a walk."

After all, it was a rare sunny day in the rainy season.

Bian Yue replied quickly too, "Jiaojiao, I’m watching the sunrise with Shen Jinci."

Wen Jiao felt unexpectedly envious, but she was truly happy for Bian Yue.

She said, "Enjoy it, and remember to share it with me afterwards."

Ever since returning from the Shen Family, Wen Jiao had not stepped out of her bedroom.

Mr. Wen, Wen Yongwei, who lost his wife early on, raised his only daughter Wen Jiao by himself, and naturally cherished her dearly, pampering her to no end.

These days, Wen Jiao had been in a foul mood and didn’t communicate with her father, locking herself daily in her room, which made Wen Yongwei extremely worried.

In the Wen Family’s hall, Wen Yongwei kept glancing upstairs from time to time, pacing back and forth, fretting so much that more white hairs seemed ready to sprout.

"Why is Jiaojiao staying in her room every day? How can she bear this in the long run?" Wen Yongwei frowned, "What exactly has made my Jiaojiao unhappy?"

The butler was an old man too, having watched Wen Jiao grow up, he had long considered her his own daughter. Hearing Wen Yongwei’s words, he sighed heavily, feeling blue, "I don’t know what’s gotten into the young miss recently, she’s been like this."

"Have someone look into it!" Wen Yongwei commanded in a low voice, "I want to see who has made our Jiaojiao unhappy!"

"Yes."

The butler retreated and walked out.

Outside, the sunshine was just right, the old butler squinted against the brightness and when he finally managed to open his eyes, he saw an imposing man striding towards him, with a handsome yet stern face, radiating a sharp aura. His phoenix eyes looked at people coldly and arrogantly. Two rows of black-suited bodyguards followed him, each holding a black case.

The newcomer had a threatening vibe.

The butler frowned and stepped forward, blocking the way firmly, "Who are you people? This is the Wen Family, please leave if you don’t have an invitation!"

Wei Shuqian, with an indifferent manner, casually glanced at the butler before him, his voice indifferent, "I’ve come to ask for a marriage."

The butler’s lips quivered for a long time, speechless.

This presence, it didn’t seem like one of someone coming to propose, but rather like someone picking a fight!

City Center Hospital, Li Sihe ordered his discharge to be processed, and got into the car under Li Tingmo’s unwelcoming demeanor.
