After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash
Chapter 45: So Much Care

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: So Much Care

Bian Yue knew this was not the place to talk, she whispered softly, "Shen Jinci, come out with me."

Everyone present knew how insanely Shen Jinci had just acted.

No one believed he could calm down and leave with Bian Yue, including Shen Zhaoli who had a broken leg.

Shen Zhaoli knew the Shen Family had violence ingrained in their bones; even today Shen Jinci had not gone all out, merely breaking a leg was not enough to appease his anger.

He simply couldn’t leave.

Yet after Bian Yue spoke those words, she walked outside without looking back.

And the man, who was originally filled with cold ruthlessness, actually let go and followed the tender little princess outside.

Everyone was too shocked to react; by the time Shen Jinci had left, they hurriedly went to help Shen Zhaoli who was on the ground.

Meanwhile, Bian Yue had already pushed the door and entered a nearby rest room.

She placed the thermal box on the table, turned around, and saw Shen Jinci standing in front of her.

His eyes were downcast, his expression untraceable and typically cool and elegant. However, his hands were shaking.

Bian Yue held his hand, frowning, "What’s wrong with your hand?"

Shen Jinci gently pulled away.

He closed his eyes, hiding the bloodshot look, "Bian Yue, I’m not in a stable mood right now, you go back first. We can talk about anything when I get home."

Bian Yue replied, but I only came to bring you food, and I won’t leave until I see you finish eating.

Bian Yue could feel that after she spoke those words, Shen Jinci’s hand trembled less severely.

She sighed in relief, her eyes bright as she looked at him, "Let’s eat first, we can talk about anything else after the meal."

It was actually a very simple homemade dish.

Bian Yue watched Shen Jinci eat quietly without speaking, feeling embarrassed: "This is the takeout I packed while dining out with Anny, I know you are a clean freak, these dishes are clean, no one has touched them."

Shen Jinci continued eating. After finishing, he leisurely wiped his lips with a tissue, his demeanor graceful as he looked up and whispered softly, "Aren’t you scared?"

"What?"

"Seeing me like that just now, weren’t you scared?"

Bian Yue laughed, "Why would I be scared?"

"I thought you were a little princess, little princesses can’t stand such bloody scenes."

Shen Jinci’s tone was calm and straightforward, "Bian Yue, I didn’t expect you to come, if I had known, I wouldn’t have acted like that in front of you..."

Bian Yue cut off Shen Jinci’s words, "So you mean you would behave like that if I wasn’t present?"

The man paused, then silently nodded.

Bian Yue rested her chin in her hands, looking at Shen Jinci’s somewhat heavy expression.

She asked curiously, "Shen Jinci, why do you think I would be scared?"

"Because it’s a normal human reaction," Shen Jinci replied calmly, "I’m very sorry you had to see that."

Bian Yue walked up to Shen Jinci.

Her stature was petite, standing in front of him almost allowed Shen Jinci to look her straight in the eye.

Bian Yue folded her arms, slowly saying, "Ever since I walked in, you’ve been asking me if I was scared, saying I shouldn’t have seen such a scene. But Shen Jinci, I really want to know why you acted out, you aren’t someone who acts rashly."

Shen Jinci’s throat hurt, his voice hoarse as he said, "I was afraid he would hurt you."

It took Bian Yue a while to guess the reasons behind it.

She bent down and looked at Shen Jinci, this man who in the eyes of the world was extremely cold-hearted, cruel, and even cursed to have committed so many evils that he deserved retribution.

Bian Yue looked at him a long while, seeing only his concern for her.

So Bian Yue said: "You hit him, will you be in trouble?"

It was really beyond Shen Jinci’s expectation.

He was unusually silent, looking at Bian Yue with a serious expression, his Adam’s apple bobbed, "No."

"That’s good." Bian Yue breathed a sigh of relief, smiling as she patted Shen Jinci’s shoulder, "Shen Jinci, we are partners now, if there’s anything I can help with, don’t be polite with me!"

Shen Jinci felt this moment was very surreal.

He had thought of many possible reactions from Bian Yue.

However, he never expected that she would accept it so calmly.

"Bian Yue, aren’t you scared at all?" he asked in a low voice, each word serious: "Even I am afraid of my own appearance."

"You said it yourself, you were afraid he would hurt me. Shen Jinci, I live selfishly, without great love. If you did it for me, how could I possibly be afraid?"

Bian Yue was frank and straightforward: "I like this feeling of being cared about, and I won’t lie, I rarely experience it."

What responded to her was a man’s embrace.

He held her waist, hugged her tightly, his face leaning on her shoulder, his demeanor very affectionate, he said: "Yueyue, if you like being cared about, I will give you lots of care."

The moment Bian Yue was embraced by Shen Jinci, she felt an unreal sense of security.

She was held steady in the man’s arms, like a long-travelling bird finding a place to rest.

Bian Yue was momentarily dazed, the little bird in her heart kept flapping its wings, but at that moment, it wanted to stop.

Bian Yue thought it must be because Shen Jinci held her too tightly, so tightly it felt like the oxygen was thin, even breathing felt heavy, thus the little bird gave up flapping its wings, willing to stop.

This was not her intention.

Bian Yue thought she wanted to push him away, but she was also addicted to the body warmth, unable to refuse.

After a long while, Shen Jinci finally let her go, but one hand was still faintly resting on her waist, and with the other hand, he gently adjusted her hair, softly asking: "So, what did you come to see me for today?"

Only then did Bian Yue remember her original purpose.

Bian Yue said: "Shen Jinci, come back with me to the Li Family, I want to talk about the inheritance face to face with uncle."

"Alright, when do you think is appropriate?"

Bian Yue said, the sooner, the better.

Shen Jinci still agreed.

He then resumed his concise, valuable, and elite demeanor.

The matter came to a close, Bian Yue randomly sought a topic, she said: "Shen Jinci, when did you get a younger brother?"

"That’s a child my father adopted, I’ve hardly seen him, not close." Shen Jinci paused, his voice bland, "It’s just that my father liked him a lot, often kept him company. His existence to the Shen Family, can only be considered a personal attachment of my father."

Bian Yue nodded somewhat understandingly, she said: "Then if he gets injured, will it affect your reputation?"

The man’s eyes deepened with amusement, he touched the back of Bian Yue’s head, his tone candid, "Yueyue, my reputation really isn’t that good."

Bian Yue knew.

But Bian Yue didn’t want Shen Jinci to have a bad reputation because of her.

Bian Yue planned to find some time to visit Shen Zhaoli.

She didn’t show it, but instead said: "So if there’s nothing else, I should go back?"

Shen Jinci nodded.

As Bian Yue turned to leave, the man stood up, holding her hand.

He looked at the surprise in Bian Yue’s eyes, softly explained: "It’s raining outside, I’ll take you home."

Thus, in full view of those board members, they saw Mr. Shen, who just radiated hostility, now gentle and smiling, accompanying his wife out of the lounge, tenderly draping his suit jacket over her.
