After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash
Chapter 165: That’s Enough

Chapter 165: Chapter 165: That’s Enough

"It’s not like that," Shen Jinci said indifferently.

Bian Yue let out a sigh of relief, "Then I’m going back to bed."

"If we don’t kiss, let’s just sleep like this tonight. After all, it was you who woke me up. Me holding you in sleep isn’t too much, is it?"

Bian Yue didn’t know how to answer this question. Too much? It seemed like...

"It seems like, it’s a bit too much indeed." Bian Yue whispered, "If you hold me like this, I can’t sleep."

"Then give me a kiss."

How did the topic circle back to this again?

Bian Yue wondered if beneath Shen Jinci’s detached and indifferent exterior, there lay the potential of an old rogue?

Bian Yue’s face turned even redder, "If I give you a kiss, can we go back to sleep?"

"Okay."

Bian Yue closed her eyes and kissed Shen Jinci’s cheek.

The restraint around her waist loosened at once, and Bian Yue let out a sigh of relief before quickly lying back down.

The night was deep, and for a moment neither of them spoke.

Shen Jinci spoke up, his voice a bit hoarse, saying, "Bian Yue, I love you very much."

These words came abruptly, making Bian Yue instinctively turn to look at him, her heartbeat quickened.

She didn’t know if it was because of the kiss just now or Shen Jinci’s sudden confession.

"I... I know," she said.

"I love you very much, no matter what you do, no matter what you want, no matter what you become, I will always love you. So Yueyue, do whatever you wish to do with confidence," Shen Jinci said, then slowly closed his eyes.

He didn’t seem to be waiting for Bian Yue’s response.

Bian Yue didn’t know how to describe the feeling in her heart, sour and astringent.

After a long silence, she said quietly, "I... know."

After Bian Yue fell back asleep, Shen Jinci slowly opened his eyes.

Memories from 4 hours ago flooded back into his mind.

In the study, Shen Zhaoli was fiddling with the lighter in his hand, looking over nonchalantly, and said slowly, "I have found the person’s whereabouts. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to see them tomorrow. Shen Jinci, are you sure you want to see this person?"

"Sure," Shen Jinci said indifferently.

Shen Zhaoli frowned, pausing his play with the lighter. He looked intently at Shen Jinci and said earnestly, "Don’t blame me for not reminding you, some things are like Pandora’s Box. You want to investigate a matter, and it will bring up other issues. Soon, it is very likely you can’t end it by yourself."

"Just say what you mean," Shen Jinci’s voice was even colder.

"I’ve uncovered some old issues. You were ill before and had a serious sickness."

Shen Zhaoli paused, his concern for Shen Jinci hard to hide, "What happened at Lixing Group during the period you were sick, has nothing to do with you, and if it involves Bian Yue, it is even less related to you."

Shen Zhaoli stood up, approached Shen Jinci, and said calmly, "I am not interested in what happened between you and that old man before. I’m just kindly reminding you, if you find out that the old man has done something behind your back, what do you plan to do?"

Shen Jinci kept silent, still showing no signs of emotion.

Shen Zhaoli, seeming anxious, broke it down frankly, his hand resting on the table, his voice calm, "I have found out that when the Bian Family met with trouble, Lixing Group indeed received inside information."

Shen Jinci looked up, a glint of darkness finally in his eyes.

Shen Zhaoli continued, "I know you hope that the answer would be that the Shen Family was unaware of the issues with the Bian Family, but the truth is, the Shen Family knew. I don’t know to what extent the Shen Family was involved, but meeting with that old butler will only serve to prove the Shen Family’s guilt, and there is no other meaning."

"So you want me to stop and not investigate any further?"

"Yes," Shen Zhaoli said calmly, "Bian Yue is innocent, and so are you."

The deep of night, Shen Jinci silently watched Bian Yue.

Bian Yue is innocent.

But is the real Shen Jinci truly innocent?

If this matter does involve the real Shen Jinci, then when the time comes, should he tell Bian Yue all the truth?

Shen Jinci’s mind was in turmoil as he watched Bian Yue’s profile, for a long, long time, unsure of what to do...

The next day, Bian Yue and Anny went to the platform for "Shengshi Yan" broadcast and handed over the sample clip.

The broadcasting platform is Xinghe Video, one of the four major online platforms, with a high market share and backed by the Lu Family, a top-tier power in the Beijing Circle, with no shortage of traffic. Born with a silver spoon, naturally, it has the strongest financial strength among the four platforms.

Bian Yue’s ability to get the platform’s approval and make it through the summer lineup among all the entries was a stroke of luck.

The business executive in charge of the reception was a man in his early thirties, who clearly didn’t expect such an insignificant matter to have caught President Bian’s personal attention.

Huang Xin was first stunned, then greeted with a smile: "Why did President Bian come personally? We should have been the ones to visit you. My name is Huang Xin, just call me Little Huang, I’m in charge of the business department."

Bian Yue smiled, "Hello,"

Huang Xin’s eyes crinkled with a smile as he reached out to Bian Yue, "Thank you, President Bian, for your recognition of our platform. Please, take a seat and we can talk at leisure."

Bian Yue smiled, and after a polite handshake, she slowly took a seat.

She remained composed, glanced at Anny beside her, and then received the file handed to her.

"This is the entire dossier of ’Shengshi Yan’, Mr. Huang, if there’s anything you don’t understand later on, feel free to ask me directly."

Bian Yue was humble in her attitude.

Being in the same circles, Huang Xin had heard that the person calling the shots at Mintang Media was a young woman in her twenties, who had supposedly married into wealth, which was why her career had been smooth sailing.

Such unsubstantiated news could not be taken seriously, but now, seeing Bian Yue’s respectful and confident demeanor, he was rather impressed.

"Rest assured, President Bian, we’ve already secured 11 advertisers and the momentum is good. If everything goes well, the popularity won’t be low," Huang Xin assured confidently, "Since Xinghe spent a hefty price for the rights to ’Shengshi Yan’, it shows our confidence in its content. President Bian, rest assured, we will spare no effort to make this project a success."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Bian Yue claimed she had other matters to attend to and excused herself.

Huang Xin, a seasoned veteran of the corporate world, was impeccable in his presentation, sending Bian Yue off to the entrance, and not forgetting to say with a friendly smile, "Our CEO is not in the country today, but next time, we must invite President Bian over for tea."

The business car slowly pulled up to the side, Bian Yue looked up at the towering cold building in front of her, withdrew her gaze, and said with a smile, "There will be an opportunity."

After leaving, amidst Huang Xin’s ceremonial smile, she got into the car with composure.

Anny, cooperating with Bian Yue all this time, didn’t express her displeasure until they got into the car, "That Xinghe really puts on quite the show, only sending a business executive to receive us!"
