Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Put Your Clothes On

Her posture was so enticing that no man should resist responding.

Yet Shen Jinci truly had no response, just looking at her indifferently, saying without any ripple in his emotion: "I have asked Kang Yu to come over and escort Miss Zhuang home."

Zhuang Jie Ning bit her lip unwillingly.

Just now, to put on a convincing act, Zhuang Jie Ning really had drunk a little.

At this moment, she propped up her dizzy body to stand, slowly walking towards Shen Jinci; her clothes were disheveled, not knowing when, which could reveal large swaths of fair skin with just a bit of movement.

Zhuang Jie Ning’s figure was no less attractive than Bian Yue’s, curvy and striking enough to make any man stare with wide eyes.

Now, her steps were unsteady, several times almost falling over.

Yet Shen Jinci remained unmoved, merely watching her awkward demeanor as if it was beneath his notice.

A sense of embarrassment grew in Zhuang Jie Ning’s heart. Biting her teeth, she walked up to Shen Jinci, tilting her face up, her smile sweet and tender, "It’s so late and yet I’ve troubled Mr. Shen’s assistant to escort me home, I really appreciate it."

Shen Jinci had already taken out his phone, notifying Kang Yu without any expression on his face.

Zhuang Jie Ning listened quietly until Shen Jinci hung up the phone, then she continued with a smile: "Mr. Shen, why haven’t you gone upstairs yet? Hasn’t everything been arranged?"

"I promised Bian Yue that I would watch you get in the car." He paused, his voice still emotionless, "Miss Zhuang, please straighten up your clothes."

Zhuang Jie Ning’s smile became more rigid.

Taking a deep breath, she walked towards the sofa and sat down.

"Mr. Shen is really good to Bian Yue, she is fortunate to have Mr. Shen as her destination, I am truly happy for her."

Zhuang Jie Ning’s smile stretched wider as she slowly said: "The vicissitudes of life, I used to always think that Bian Yue would marry Shiheng."

Shen Jinci said nothing, his expression unreadable and indifferent.

Despite looking over and over again, Zhuang Jie Ning still couldn’t discern what was in Shen Jinci’s mind.

"Mr. Shen, you really are a very charming man. Over the years, I’ve met all kinds of people, but none like Mr. Shen who made my heart skip a beat at first glance."

Zhuang Jie Ning’s gaze was calm as she looked at Shen Jinci, smiling, revealing her true feelings through the alcohol: "Actually, if Mr. Shen wanted to seek a marriage alliance, I am more suitable than Bian Yue. Bian Yue’s life is too complicated."

Finally, Shen Jinci looked at Zhuang Jie Ning properly.

Hope began to light up in Zhuang Jie Ning’s eyes.

But it was quickly extinglished.

Because Shen Jinci said: "I am accompanying you here on the account that you are Bian Yue’s friend. I hope you understand, I have no interest in you."

Zhuang Jie Ning laughed lightly, quickly composing herself, saying leisurely: "My earlier words were just to test Mr. Shen on behalf of Bian Yue, it’s clear you are sincere towards Bian Yue."

Shen Jinci gave no response, while Zhuang Jie Ning’s smile was awkwardly forced.

Kang Yu finally arrived.

Kang Yu helped Zhuang Jie Ning up from the sofa, his smile gentle, "Miss Zhuang, I will escort you home."

Zhuang Jie Ning pursed her lips, standing up without a word.

The car was parked outside the Shen Family Mansion.

Zhuang Jie Ning bent down to enter the car, still unable to suppress her feelings of dissatisfaction as she looked back towards Shen Jinci.

The night breeze carried the damp scent of rain, making the man before her seem even more unreachable and indifferent.

Zhuang Jie Ning asked with a touch of heartache: "Mr. Shen, I have something to ask you. Why do both you and Li Sihe like Bian Yue so much?"

After she finished speaking, her eyes were already red.

Having been around Shen Jinci for a long time, Kang Yu could tell that Shen Jinci had run out of patience as soon as he entered.

He hurriedly said to Zhuang Jie Ning with a smile: "Miss Zhuang, you have had too much to drink, better go back and rest early!"

After saying this, he closed the car door without waiting for Zhuang Jie Ning to react.

Through the car window, Zhuang Jie Ning still looked at Shen Jinci, her eyes becoming more and more complex.

Kang Yu sat in the passenger seat.

As the car drove away, Kang Yu saw Zhuang Jie Ning’s graceful and delicate face through the rearview mirror and said kindly: "Miss Zhuang, you better not come to the Shen Family Mansion anymore."

The connotation in these words was not lost on Zhuang Jie Ning, making her feel even emptier inside.

"Assistant Kang, how long have you known Mr. Shen?"

Kang Yu pondered for a moment before replying slowly, "Quite a few years."

"Then what you said must be true." Zhuang Jie Ning chuckled softly and closed her eyes.

She really didn’t hate Bian Yue; she just couldn’t understand...

In the silent car, Zhuang Jie Ning’s face was shrouded in darkness, her emotions indecipherable...

Bian Yue woke up in the middle of the night with a dry mouth. She turned over in bed, rubbing her eyes as she propped herself up to sit.

Only then did she see that Shen Jinci was sitting on a sofa nearby, flipping through a thick file.

Bian Yue wanted to show concern for him, and ask if reading those files would ruin his eyesight.

But Shen Jinci apparently noticed she was awake. He looked up from the file, closed it, and asked her what was wrong.

Bian Yue said, "I’m a little thirsty. I’d like some water."

"I’ll go out and get it for you."

Soon, Shen Jinci returned with a cup of warm water in his hand.

Bian Yue took a sip and tasted honey.

"Has Jie Ning gone back?" Bian Yue curiously looked at Shen Jinci.

The water in the cup had already been finished, and she handed the empty cup to him, longing for more.

Bian Yue noticed his austere and scrutinizing gaze, and she asked uneasily, "Why...why are you looking at me like that?"

"I just want to see if you’re really foolish."

Bian Yue was stunned. After a while, she clumsily retorted, "Are you calling me an idiot? What makes you think I’m stupid?"

"That Zhuang Jie Ning, she wants to seduce me," Shen Jinci stated calmly, just stating a fact.

Bian Yue was grateful that she had finished her water, so she didn’t spurt it out upon hearing Shen Jinci’s words.

She coughed violently, looking at Shen Jinci in disbelief, "You... You must be misunderstanding something. How could Jie Ning be... that’s impossible?"

"Why is it impossible?"

Bian Yue was taken aback, "Her family background is good, and she has plenty of options. There’s really no need for her to become a mistress."

Shen Jinci frowned and warned with a grave voice, imparting knowledge earnestly, "Bian Yue, you’re oversimplifying human nature. Just because she has many choices doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to take what’s yours."

Bian Yue latched onto the keyword.

"Are you... mine?"

For a moment, the severity on the man’s face softened. He seemed to be contemplating before finally saying, "Yes."

Bian Yue didn’t dare to accept that.

But Shen Jinci had taken the file that was beside him.

"What for? Wanting me to look at it with you?" Bian Yue rubbed her forehead, "I’m not interested in Lixing’s affairs."

"It’s a contract related to you; didn’t we talk about giving you money last time?"

Bian Yue took the contract from him and skimmed through it quickly, her eyes landing on the critical phrase.

It read: Remittance on the 10th of each month.

Bian Yue counted the zeroes, there were many.

"This money..."

"Not enough?"

"No."

Shen Jinci lifted his eyelids, his brows slightly raised, looking at Bian Yue indifferently, "If it’s not enough, I have a plan to give you more."

Bian Yue asked what the plan was.

Shen Jinci raised his hand, pointing at his own face, "Kiss me now, and I’ll remit an extra ten million to you each month."
