After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash
Chapter 39: Are You Seducing Me?

Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Are You Seducing Me?

I understand her better than you do.

Such a powerful statement.

The two men exchanged looks, both profound.

Shi An’an was on the verge of going mad; she really couldn’t stay there any longer, "Ah Hen, let’s go! Please, take me away with you!"

"Bian Yue is still unconscious; you have no idea what she’s thinking or how she plans to deal with Shi An’an. Why not wait until she wakes up, then handle all this?" Li Sihe spoke calmly, his light voice delivering a judgement: "Shi An’an’s death is insignificant, but Bian Yue may not want to see such an outcome."

Shi An’an looked up at Li Sihe in disbelief, her heart dropping into an icy abyss.

She suddenly realized how ridiculous all her demands were.

— Li Sihe never regarded her as a person.

"Not worth mourning over."

They had been close, so how could he say such a thing?

Shen Jinci remained silent. Li Sihe could only continue, "After all, I was the one who informed Mr. Shen that Bian Yue was in trouble, so he could save her so quickly. Doesn’t that count as owing me a favor?"

"Owe you a favor? If you couldn’t control your own woman, Bian Yue wouldn’t have been harmed." His indifference carried a tinge of hostility.

Such a sharp retort left Li Sihe speechless, he could only pause in silence before saying, "But Bian Yue should be waking up soon, right? Doesn’t Mr. Shen need to be by her side? What’s the point of having a standoff with me here?"

Bian Yue was indeed about to wake up, and the matter involved the Shen and Li Families, with no immediate resolution in sight.

Shen Jinci made a prompt decision.

"You can take Shi An’an away, but without my permission, she is not allowed to leave Xiangjiang." He spoke with a heavy tone, his sparse eyes carrying a deep emotion.

After he finished speaking, he got up to leave, passing by Shi An’an who instinctively shrank away, closing her eyes nervously.

Only when the sound of the study doors closing again did Shi An’an finally relax and open her eyes.

She looked up at Li Sihe beside her.

"Ah Hen..." She grabbed the hem of Li Sihe’s clothes, her eyes hollow, giving a feeble smile: "You never intended to rescue me, did you? You came for your father’s sake, right? But Ah Hen, I truly love you."

Li Sihe looked down indifferently, flicking away Shi An’an’s grip on his clothes, with not an ounce of tenderness or pity...

Bian Yue was awakened by the sharp pain in her hands; she slowly opened her eyes and heard Shen Jinci’s voice.

Shen Jinci said, "Yueyue, does it hurt a lot?"

His voice was very soft, filled with care and urgency.

Bian Yue hadn’t complained to anyone about her pain in a long time, no matter how much it hurt, she had to bear it alone, and speaking too much of it would only show affectation and immaturity.

Bian Yue wasn’t a child anymore; she understood this.

But Shen Jinci’s question showed such concern.

So the tears almost fell, with a sour taste.

Bian Yue said, "It hurts a lot."

"Should I call the doctor to prescribe some painkillers for you?" Shen Jinci’s slender fingers ran through Bian Yue’s hair, caressing it gently, a gesture full of affection.

"Painkillers won’t work, and taking too many makes you sleepy."

"Then what should we do?"

"Shen Jinci." She called his name, her voice quite hoarse.

"Mhm?" He paused his hand movements, leaned in slightly, bringing them closer, and hoarsely said, "I’m here, I’m right here."

It was as though he was coaxing a child.

But Bian Yue found it comforting.

"I used to be locked in a dark room, so I’m a bit afraid of the dark." Her desire to confess rose, and she paused, turning to face Shen Jinci as she lay on her side in bed, "So I was actually really scared today."

"I know, I won’t let Shi An’an off." His tone was calm, with a reassuring conviction.

Bian Yue understood very well what extent Shen Jinci’s ’won’t let off’ could mean.

"Don’t..." Bian Yue frowned, whispering: "I don’t want to tear my face off with the Li Family yet, and I don’t want to trouble you with my matters. It was already very kind of you to come and rescue me, Shen Jinci, can you... can you not do anything to Shi An’an?"

Shen Jinci was simply cradling Bian Yue’s injured hand gently, a tender smile forming in his eyes, "Alright, I’ll listen to you."

"Is it because I’m injured that you’re behaving so nicely? Shen Jinci, you’ve smiled a lot today." Bian Yue’s voice became more cheerful.

"Don’t you like it when I smile more?" he asked.

"It’s not that, it’s just that I’m not used to seeing you smile. You have no idea, the first time I saw you, you looked so fierce," Bian Yue said softly.

The ’first time’ Bian Yue spoke of was at the top-deck cabin in Picnic Bay.

The two had passed by each other without a word exchanged.

"How do you know that was our first encounter?" the man asked lightly, his voice even softer.

Bian Yue was perplexed, "Wasn’t it our first meeting?"

Of course, it wasn’t. I had seen you many, many times before that.

Shen Jinci murmured this in his heart.

But he just smiled, bending down to kiss Bian Yue’s forehead, "Mm, I’ve seen you in my dreams."

His words were very seductive.

Bian Yue blushed so much that she forgot the pain in her hand.

Her long eyelashes trembled lightly, and her heart raced unreasonably fast.

The little princess was still not accustomed to calculating minds, everything was straightforward. She said, "Shen Jinci, are you seducing me?"

The word ’seduction’ was used uncertainly.

But Shen Jinci’s smile deepened.

"What counts as seduction?"

"You kissed me..." Bian Yue paused, adding seriously, "On the forehead."

"Yueyue, your hand is injured," he suddenly said, deviating from the subject.

Bian Yue was befuddled, "What does this have to do with my question?"

"You’re injured," Shen Jinci lifted her stray hair with his index finger, gently straightening it out for her, softly saying, "What’s the use of me seducing you?"

Bian Yue’s face turned very red.

Her eyes widened adorably, moist and gazing at Shen Jinci, speechless for a long time.

"What you’re doing is immoral," Bian Yue inhaled deeply, resembling someone frightened.

This assertion piqued Shen Jinci’s interest to inquire further, "Why is it immoral?"

"Because you don’t love me..." Bian Yue’s gaze became resolute, "Your seduction is immoral. And..."

"And what?"

"And your health isn’t good..." Bian Yue observed Shen Jinci’s pale complexion, the man’s features deep and prominent, but his countenance was cold and harsh, seemingly having nothing to do with sunshine and health.

Bian Yue was even more steadfast in her conviction, "You also don’t know how long you have to live, what would I do then?"

"So what you’re saying is, if I can live to be a hundred years old and love you, then I can seduce you, right?" He reasoned with her meticulously, polishing her words to be impeccable.

Bian Yue actually felt what Shen Jinci said made a lot of sense.

She appeared to be persuaded.

Shen Jinci’s hand, straightening her hair, paused; the smile in his eyes faded, his expression becoming very serious, he spoke, "Yueyue, what makes you think I can’t?"
