Chapter 164: No Choice but to Kiss

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: No Choice but to Kiss

Su Youxue said, "Today is the celebration party for ’Beijixing’, both Miss Zhuang and I attended. Miss Zhuang helped me a lot today."

"Hmm," Li Sihe responded indifferently, his reply lackluster, "The marriage alliance between the Zhuang Family and the Li Family is about to be realized. She’s not helping you; she’s helping herself."

Su Youxue nodded, her expression obedient, "Then... after you marry Miss Zhuang, is it okay for me to still stay here?"

"You do not need to worry about her, between her and me, we are just a couple in name."

Li Sihe, observing the uneasy and probing expression on Su Youxue’s face, suddenly thought of Bian Yue when she first arrived at the Li Family, also looking at him with the same uncertainty.

Therefore, feeling inexplicably tender-hearted, Li Sihe whispered softly, "If she bullies you, don’t be polite to her, and don’t consider my feelings. You can do whatever you want."

But Su Youxue was no longer the tactless woman she used to be. She knew that Li Sihe’s words were meant for her, but his eyes clearly did not include her.

The person he wants to protect unconditionally is certainly not her.

Su Youxue raised the corners of her mouth, her smile tinged with reluctance, "I understand, Mr. Li, rest assured, I know my limits. Mr. Li, it’s beautiful weather today, shall I take you out for a walk?"

"Maybe tomorrow," Li Sihe stifled a cough with his fist, his voice hoarse, "You go ahead, I’d like to be alone for a while."

Su Youxue agreed and did not forget to tidy up the blanket for Li Sihe when she left.

As she got up to go outside, she just stepped out when she encountered Zhuang Jie Ning.

The latter reeking of alcohol, staggering and floating unsteadily.

"Miss Zhuang, be careful." Su Youxue stepped forward to support Zhuang Jie Ning, kindly saying, "Are you too drunk? Let me take you back to your room."

Zhuang Jie Ning shook off Su Youxue’s hand, heading straight for Li Sihe’s room, "Li Sihe is awake, right? I want to see him!"

Su Youxue’s expression changed, she wanted to stop her, but ultimately, she could not overcome Zhuang Jie Ning and let her go inside.

Li Sihe had already heard the noises outside, so seeing Zhuang Jie Ning was no surprise, only his gaze turned cold.

"What do you want?"

"What is this attitude? Is this how you talk to your fiancée?" Zhuang Jie Ning sneered, took a few steps forward, and approached Li Sihe’s bedside, "Li Sihe, we’ve known each other for so many years, why can’t you be more capable, even Bian Yue you can’t hold onto!"

Li Sihe’s expression turned ice-cold, his voice a severe warning, "The trouble you caused in front of Bian Yue, my father already knows. Haven’t you learned your lesson yet, still daring to spout nonsense here? Zhuang Jie Ning, the Zhuang Family is not your Death Exemption Token!"

Zhuang Jie Ning’s sneer intensified, her gaze fixed hatefully on Li Sihe, "What right do you have to speak to me like this? If it weren’t for your inability to watch Bian Yue, I wouldn’t have ended up like this today and wouldn’t have become your wife. I still have hopes of marrying Shen Jinci, it’s all your fault!"

Su Youxue, standing behind Zhuang Jie Ning, was shocked.

She never imagined that the person Zhuang Jie Ning held dear was Shen Jinci.

No wonder, no wonder his malice towards Bian Yue was so intense.

Li Sihe looked coldly at Zhuang Jie Ning, his eyes filled with derision, "Don’t overestimate yourself. Shen Jinci is not like me; he will not compromise to marry you. Even without Bian Yue, you wouldn’t catch his eye."

"Li Sihe! What gives you the right to say that! I am the top maiden in Xiangjiang! I am well-educated, sensible, I come from the topmost background, I can stand beside any man!"

Zhuang Jie Ning, having her sore spot hit, her face flushed red, her words erupted from deep within, "It’s you! You bringer of early death! Sickly good-for-nothing, you are not worthy of me! Why don’t you just die!"

However, as soon as her words fell, Su Youxue, who had been standing silently behind Zhuang Jie Ning, suddenly stepped forward, and a slap landed on Zhuang Jie Ning’s face.

As if struck by lightning, Zhuang Jie Ning sobered up considerably.

She stared at Su Youxue in disbelief, her voice shocked, "You dare to hit me? Su Youxue, what status do you have to hit me?"

"Miss Zhuang, you shouldn’t curse Mr. Li like that," Su Youxue raised her eyes to look at Zhuang Jie Ning, her voice steady and stubborn. "I won’t allow anyone to curse Mr. Li like that."

Li Sihe looked at Su Youxue with slight astonishment, while Zhuang Jie Ning’s beautiful eyes widened. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "You lunatic! You really are sick!"

After saying that, she left with big strides.

Su Youxue seemed to relax all at once, cold sweat appearing on her forehead.

She nervously turned to Li Sihe, still trying to appear calm and said, "Mr. Li, don’t listen to her, you will live a long life."

Li Sihe didn’t say anything, just looked at Su Youxue’s face, thinking to himself, she’s really foolish.

Bian Yue woke up in the middle of the night and saw Shen Jinci sleeping beside her, his long lashes drooping, his sleeping face peaceful.

Shen Jinci had the best sleeping posture Bian Yue had ever seen.

He could sleep in one position all night long, lying beside Bian Yue, almost having no presence.

Of course, that’s only if Bian Yue didn’t look at him.

After all, with such a handsome face, it was hard not to notice him.

Bian Yue looked at his sleeping face and couldn’t help but laugh softly, "He looks quite cute when he’s asleep."

After saying that, she propped up her body to touch his eyelashes.

They felt soft, like little brushes.

For a man, he was exquisitely delicate.

"They’re really long..." Bian Yue quietly admired, not forgetting to imagine, "If only I could transplant them onto my eyes."

"Transplant what?" Shen Jinci suddenly spoke, startling Bian Yue.

The two looked at each other in the dim light, Bian Yue watching as Shen Jinci slowly opened his eyes, and she involuntarily swallowed, whispering, "It’s nothing, you must have heard wrong in your dream."

"I heard wrong?"

"Yes!"

After Bian Yue finished speaking, she wanted to act as if nothing had happened and quickly lay back down.

But Shen Jinci, holding her waist, didn’t let her move. His unwavering gaze on Bian Yue made their breathing intertwine, the atmosphere becoming exceptionally intimate.

Bian Yue’s face belatedly felt a bit hot. "Do you... do you think we’re too close?"

Yet Shen Jinci remained calm as he softly stated, "I don’t think so."

Bian Yue was somewhat at a loss, silently watching him, finally whispering, "I think, maybe, it’s still a bit too close."

Shen Jinci’s hand at Bian Yue’s waist traced her sleepwear quietly, "Want to lie back down?"

"Yes." Bian Yue nodded, obediently saying, "I want to sleep a bit more."

"Kiss me first."

"Ah?" Bian Yue stammered, "Is... is a kiss necessary?"
