After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash
Chapter 160: A Higher Love

Kang Yu was standing outside and saw Shen Jinci turn back, inevitably puzzled, "Mr. Shen...why are you...?"

"Where is the lounge?" Shen Jinci asked calmly.

Kang Yu was momentarily stunned, then said, "The lounge is right next to us, I’ll take you there."

Yet, he couldn’t help but remain perplexed on their way.

Filled with curiosity, Kang Yu asked, "Mr. Shen, didn’t you deliberately finish all your work early today just to attend Miss Bian’s celebration party?"

"I was just worried that she might feel uncomfortable facing this kind of scene alone for the first time, but she handled it well," Shen Jinci’s eyes carried a light and faint smile, as if he was talking to himself softly and tenderly, "If I go there now, I would only overshadow her."

His Little Yue could stand on her own; as for himself, there was no need to stand by her side to share in the limelight.

The love that Shen Jinci understood was probably that, when Bian Yue needed him, he could calmly and confidently catch her in her moment of need.

As for her shining brightly in places he couldn’t see, Shen Jinci would only feel pride.

His beloved rose should be seen by more people.

Her radiance should not be covered by anything.

Kang Yu listened, shocked, and after a long silence, he looked at Shen Jinci’s profile, still that cool and noble figure, reasoning above all, always considering the return on investment.

In Kang Yu’s career, Shen Jinci was the strongest and most resolute person he had ever seen.

Such a person seems inherently disconnected from warmth and tenderness, yet ever since Shen Jinci got married, Kang Yu was one of the few who personally witnessed how Shen Jinci gradually changed into the man he is today.

Undoubtedly, he loves Bian Yue, but his love is much more refined than many might assume, transcending indulgence and doting; he truly contemplates life on behalf of Bian Yue...

Meanwhile inside the banquet hall, the atmosphere was lively.

Bian Yue had a round of drinks with everyone and her face didn’t show it; she said with her usual smile, "Thank you all for coming today. ’Shengshi Yan’ is Honey’s largest project since its establishment. Our entire company has poured precious effort into it, and I believe the final product will live up to all our expectations."

Her words were certain, and the faces of the crowd reflected different emotions.

"We naturally believe in President Bian! I propose a toast; let’s all wish ’Shengshi Yan’ record-breaking viewership!"

It wasn’t clear who spoke, but it was met with unanimous agreement, and everyone raised their glasses in celebration, the scene vibrant and warm.

Wang Dan’an too stood in the crowd, watching from afar the composed smile on Bian Yue’s face.

This young lady was tougher to deal with than Wang Dan’an had anticipated; her ambitions were too big, she was too eager, unwilling to stand behind Shen Jinci and be someone who reaps without sowing.

Wang Dan’an was somewhat curious how such a young lady could harbor such grand ambitions, unavoidably making these old industry veterans like him grumble inwardly.

The assistant approached Wang Dan’an’s side, glanced at Bian Yue standing at a high place among the crowd, nervously withdrew his gaze, and spoke in a low voice, "President Huang has sent word, that Su Youxue really did get the support of Fengcheng Group, and even Zhuang Jie Ning is paving the way for Su Youxue; it looks like Fengcheng Group is truly intent on making Su Youxue a new star."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dan’an revealed a smug smile.

If Li Sihe was willing to support her, he was naturally pleased to see it happen—after all, Su Youxue was his artist. So, whether it was Su Youxue’s drama becoming a hit or Bian Yue really making a name for herself in the industry through ’Shengshi Yan’, he was the beneficiary.

Thus, Wang Dan’an looked towards his subordinate with a satisfied smile, whispering, "Let Huang Zhangyue have a good talk with Su Youxue. On the surface, there should be nothing untoward, it needs to be respectable."

"Understood, President Wang, I get your meaning." The subordinate grinned obsequiously, saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll inform President Huang right away."

The crowd began to applaud, and Wang Dan’an reigned in his smile, joining in the clapping with due seriousness.

Suddenly, a lazy and indifferent male voice arose beside him, "President Wang truly lives up to being a businessman, knowing not to put all your chips in one place."

Wang Dan’an’s expression changed abruptly as he turned to look beside him, where Xie Zhang had appeared, unbeknownst to him.

Wang Dan’an had heard a bit about the strained relationship between Xie Zhang and Bian Yue, although he didn’t know the reason for their falling out, it was very clear that the two had severed ties.

Thus, upon seeing Xie Zhang, Wang Dan’an remained relatively calm, smiling and saying, "Young Master Xie, what brings you here? As far as I remember, the Xie Family hasn’t planned on entering the film and television industry lately."

"What? Does the Xie Family need your guidance on what we do?" Xie Zhang sneered coldly, his tone discourteous.

"Of course not, Young Master Xie always does as you please, it’s not our place to point fingers," Wang Dan’an replied, his smile lingering, before probing, "Is Young Master Xie here today especially for Bian Yue?"

"Bian Yue and Li Sihe are both my friends," stated Xie Zhang indifferently.

Wang Dan’an nodded thoughtfully at Xie Zhang, with a smile slowly saying, "So Young Master Xie has come specially to check on the project of the two friends?"

Xie Zhang didn’t answer.

Wang Dan’an was uncertain, and after hesitating for a moment, chose not to speak.

After a lengthy silence, Xie Zhang suddenly said coldly, "I do have some differences with Bian Yue that likely won’t be resolved anytime soon, but she will always be the sister I watched grow up. If President Wang plans any schemes against her..."

"Young Master Xie, you are misunderstanding, my cooperation with President Bian is completely sincere; where is there room for any schemes? My intentions towards President Bian are also genuine, aiming for a win-win situation."

Wang Dan’an pledged earnestly, but Xie Zhang’s expression remained frosty.

He watched Wang Dan’an intently, about to say something, when Bian Yue, not far away, had already walked over, holding a wine glass.

Following behind Bian Yue was Yao Yimin.

When Yao Yimin saw Xie Zhang, the smile she usually controlled so effortlessly suddenly froze on her face.

Having navigated the world of fame and profit for many years, only on matters concerning her sister Wen Jiayi would she ever lose her composure like this.

She looked at Xie Zhang with eyes beginning to turn red.

Meanwhile, Bian Yue frowned, not expecting Xie Zhang to attend the celebration banquet.

"Xie Zhang?" Bian Yue’s brows relaxed slightly as she asked indifferently, "Why are you here?"

Xie Zhang looked towards Bian Yue, and his demeanor warmed considerably from before, saying gently, "I heard Honey and Fengcheng held their celebration banquets on the same day, so I came specially. Bian Yue, I have something to ask you."

Bian Yue’s voice was even cooler, "Does it have to be today?"

Xie Zhang looked unwaveringly at Bian Yue, his expression resolute, "It has to be today."

The two went to the balcony, where Bian Yue stood against the wind, her features cool and distant, "What is it?"
