After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash
Chapter 136: What Are You Plotting?

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: What Are You Plotting?

"But I am sure that if you die, I am willing to die with you."

She spoke very earnestly, without any hesitation, and Shen Jinci saw in her eyes that there was no sign of retreat.

"Yueyue," he sighed softly, calling her name with a hoarse voice, "Can’t this also be considered love?"

My dear Little Yue, some think love is a fierce epic, a tragic once-in-a-lifetime event, but I think that love is all about rushing forward.

Bian Yue was stunned by Shen Jinci’s words for a long time, is this... love?

Bian Yue had never considered this question.

Had she fallen in love with Shen Jinci?

But upon reflection, even she herself did not know when this love began to grow.

Bian Yue remained silent, but her eyes deeply moved, as if a clear arc of light was swaying... reaching into Shen Jinci’s heart.

He could not bear to continue questioning, so he hugged her and whispered softly, "It’s late, how about we rest now?"

Bian Yue agreed, saying, "Shen Jinci, you are not going back tonight, will you stay here with me?"

Shen Jinci said yes.

Bian Yue’s lips lightly curled, she deliberately made it difficult for him, softly saying, "Stay with me? But I am not sleepy at all tonight, I don’t plan to sleep."

"What do you want to do then?" Shen Jinci asked methodically, "How about we go outside to see the stars?"

Bian Yue’s eyes gleamed with deeper amusement, she said, "Mr. Shen, it’s raining outside, there are no stars on rainy days."

"In that case..." Shen Jinci pretended to ponder, he touched Bian Yue’s hair, and murmured softly, "If Bian Yue wants to see them, then there can be."

Bian Yue didn’t take it seriously, she yawned and said seriously, "Alright, I’m really sleepy now, let’s sleep."

At night, they still slept in each other’s arms, but it wasn’t long before Bian Yue fell asleep when the hotel room phone rang.

Shen Jinci quickly answered it, something was said on the other end, he frowned and walked downstairs.

This is in the outskirts of Xiangjiang, far away from human contact, and lacking vibrancy and noise.

It rather seemed like a desolate and abandoned place.

Yet, at such a location, at 1 am in the hotel lobby, the night had fallen so silent, two men precious with time sat facing each other.

Li Sihe obviously did not expect the person to come down would be Shen Jinci.

A flash of shallow anger appeared on his face, but soon, it was replaced by a gentle demeanor as he began to speak with almost no hostility, "Mr. Shen, you are a busy man, and yet you have come to the suburbs at night to accompany Bian Yue, you must be tired."

"Not as tired as you, sick and still scampering around," Shen Jinci replied indifferently. "You should take more care of your health, life is unpredictable, a regret that comes too late."

That was a truly malicious thing to say.

Li Sihe just smiled, not minding it.

He took out a stack of photos and placed them on the table, "These are photos of Bian Yue’s parents, I found them recently, I haven’t had a chance to give them to Bian Yue, please hand them to her."

Shen Jinci glanced briefly at the photos and picked them up, "I will give them to her."

"I know you will," Li Sihe smiled subtly, raising his eyes stealthily to look at Shen Jinci, "Mr. Shen, you are unlike many others I know."

Shen Jinci remained silent.

Li Sihe paused, then continued, "I met you a few times in my youth, do you remember?"

Shen Jinci lowered his gaze, his tone growing even colder, "Sorry, I don’t remember."

"That’s ok, I was just a kid back then, it’s normal for Mr. Shen not to remember, but..." Li Sihe smiled meaningfully, "Thinking back now, I feel Mr. Shen was more gentle and gentlemanly than you seem now, not as indifferent and arrogant."

Shen Jinci tugged at the corner of his mouth, his smile faint, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Back when Bian Yue was 16, someone sent her a letter, of course, this letter never reached Bian Yue, but stayed with me," Li Sihe paused, taking out the letter from his pocket, placing it in front of Shen Jinci, "Mr. Shen, did you know? Bian Yue once had a pen pal."

Shen Jinci’s expression remained faint, listening to Li Sihe’s probing words with increasing indifference.

He looked at him, his expression turning cold, "Bian Yue’s past is her life, I don’t want to pry, nor do I wish to interfere."

"Of course, Mr. Shen is generous, that’s why you are sitting here today," Li Sihe nodded, his smile faint, "But I keep thinking, this pen pal was knowledgeable, and from the way they wrote, it seems they were older than Bian Yue. I have always wondered who this person was until recently, when reviewing the cooperation documents between Fengcheng Group and Lixing Group, I discovered the handwriting of this person is very similar to Mr. Shen’s, one could even say, identical."

Li Sihe said this, his smile vanishing, his sickly pale face showing a trace of malice, "I can’t help but suspect your intentions for approaching Bian Yue, are they inappropriate?"

Shen Jinci’s lips twisted into a mocking curve, his long fingers subtly playing with the photos in his hand, he looked up at Li Sihe, his voice soft, "What are you implying I’m scheming?"

"This question should be asked by Mr. Shen himself, what exactly are you scheming?" Li Sihe completely hardened his face, staring intensely at Shen Jinci, his expression defensive, "Back then, Bian Yue was so young, what was the reason for your approach?"

"How can you be sure that the person who wrote the letter must be me? Did it have my name as the signature? There are many people in this world with similar handwriting."

Li Sihe did not catch the deeper meaning in Shen Jinci’s words, his heart tightened, his hands clenched into fists, looking at Shen Jinci, "I don’t care what you are thinking, I absolutely won’t allow anyone to harm Bian Yue under my watch!"

"I won’t."

"Then why did you approach Bian Yue initially?" Li Sihe pointed at the letter on the table, "Shen Jinci, don’t say this person isn’t you."

This person indeed wasn’t Shen Jinci.

But, it seemed like it should have been him.

He had already replaced that person’s life, destined to live in his shadow forever.

Sometimes Shen Jinci also wondered, what kind of person was his older brother?

He had envisioned many possibilities, but each time, the conclusion was the same — that person was a true gentleman, noble and beautiful.

Shen Jinci prided himself on being able to match him in the pursuit of power and status, but he was not sure, if both stood before Bian Yue, whom she would love more.

He knew he was hypocritical, selfish, and cold-blooded.

So, he looked at Li Sihe, his smile faint, picking up the letter from the table, he spoke softly, "I will pass this to Bian Yue, as for who this person is, Li Sihe, I must say, I don’t care."

"Don’t you feel hypocritical saying that?" Li Sihe laughed out of extreme irritation, "Bian Yue was only 16 back then! Why did you take an interest in Bian Yue? Shen Jinci, are you mad?"
