Chapter 70: Chapter 70: My Wife

"You have no evidence; on what basis do you claim he’s deceiving me? Moreover, what has he deceived me about?" Bian Yue stared coldly at Li Sihe.

Li Sihe originally didn’t want to use this matter as leverage to get Bian Yue back; his pride prevented him from resorting to exposing others behind their backs.

But Bian Yue was really too assertive, assertive to the point that it scared him.

So after a moment of silence, Li Sihe calmly said, "He lied to you about having a terminal illness! Bian Yue, Shen Jinci is not sick at all!"

The coldness on Bian Yue’s face was gradually replaced by astonishment.

"What joke is this? He...," Bian Yue’s voice faltered, her pupils dilating slightly in unease, "how could he not be sick... the Xiangjiang Evening News... the Xiangjiang Evening News had been headlining it for a week, saying that he was ill."

"That was to deceive you into marrying him! If he didn’t feign a terminal illness, why would you consider a marriage alliance with him?"

Li Sihe’s eyes reddened, a rare show of emotional vulnerability. He gripped Bian Yue’s shoulders, his voice hoarse, "Yueyue, he is truly not a good person, come back to me, I can protect you!"

Bian Yue just looked at him expressionlessly.

She swept Li Sihe’s hand away, resolutely.

Li Sihe looked down, staring at his hand for a long while and then chuckled lightly, "After all I’ve told you, are you still unwilling to turn back?"

"What do you want me to turn back for?" Bian Yue stared into Li Sihe’s eyes, "Whether Shen Jinci has deceived me or not, I will find out myself. Whatever his intentions, whether he intentionally deceived me, I will find out on my own. But no matter the outcome, I will never go back to you, Li Sihe! You’ve already betrayed me once; I won’t give you a second chance to hurt me!"

Bian Yue was even more ruthless and cold-hearted than Li Sihe imagined.

His fingertips grew cold uncontrollably shaking, "Bian Yue, you’d rather trust a man you’ve not known long, and you won’t trust me?"

"The man you’re speaking of, whom I haven’t known for long, is my husband."

"But he lied to you..."

"That’s merely your side of the story," Bian Yue’s eyes coolly fixed on Li Sihe, her voice firm, "Now, give me my phone and let me get out of the car!"

The despair in Li Sihe’s heart grew thicker, almost suffocating him.

He had never, never felt so utterly out of control of a situation.

He gazed at the resolute face of Bian Yue and suddenly laughed, the laughter desolate.

The night was too deep, Bian Yue must have been mistaken to have seen tears in Li Sihe’s eyes.

How could he be crying?

Even when he himself moved out of the Li Family, he was calm as if nothing had happened.

From that day on, Bian Yue truly gave up on him.

But now, why was he looking at her with such a desperate expression, as if he really couldn’t bear to let go?

The two remained in a silent standoff when Bian Yue’s phone suddenly vibrated.

The caller ID displayed Shen Jinci.

"Give me the phone!" Bian Yue became anxious.

Li Sihe looked down at the caller ID, his long lashes drooping, hiding his emotions.

"Li Sihe, give me my phone, this is really too much."

Bian Yue’s voice carried a hint of anger.

But Li Sihe was even calmer, his thin lips slightly curved, raising his phone high, his smile careless, as he watched Bian Yue’s anxious eyes and said softly, "What do you think Shen Jinci would feel if he hears my voice now?"

Bian Yue glared, her face reddening with anger, "Li Sihe, have some decency!"

Li Sihe’s gaze suddenly turned cold, "Unfortunately, I don’t."

Bian Yue was shocked by his resolute look, she guessed what Li Sihe was about to do, but before she could stop him, he had already answered the call and put it to his ear.

"You are sick! Give me back my phone!"

Bian Yue blurted out angrily.

And Li Sihe laughed lightly, his voice transmitting through the receiver into Shen Jinci’s ears, he spoke lightly, provoking enough, "Good evening, Mr. Shen."

When Shen Jinci heard Bian Yue’s angry shout, he guessed something must have happened, and the sound of Li Sihe’s voice was undoubtedly the best answer.

Li Sihe thought he would hear Shen Jinci lose his temper in rage, but the man responded indifferently and calmly, "Mr. Li, please return the phone to my wife."

The word ’wife’ was emphasized.

Li Sihe’s smile turned a bit colder, as if frost covered his face, the knuckles holding the phone turned white, the next moment, his smile cooled down, expressionless, "Mr. Shen is much calmer than I thought."

"So are you, Mr. Li, even more unprincipled than I imagined."

Bian Yue already reached out to snatch her phone from Li Sihe’s hand, and this time, the man let go, and she finally got what she wanted.

Bian Yue took the phone, her face turning pale, and hastily whispered, "Shen Jinci, it’s not what you think, Li Sihe insisted on pulling me into the car, it’s not me..."

"Yueyue," Shen Jinci gently interrupted her explanation, his voice calm, even lacking the usual haughtiness, sounding deliberately soft, he was calming his own emotions, even in such an embarrassing moment, he said, "Come home early, I’m waiting at home for you."

"You came back to the country?"

"Yes, didn’t you say you were scared living alone?" Shen Jinci said, "So, I came back overnight."

Bian Yue felt a sting in her heart.

She understood how much trust it took for Shen Jinci to be so forbearing.

Bian Yue did not want to be an untrustworthy person, so she firmly said, "I’ll be back soon."

After saying that, she ended the call and faced Li Sihe’s already emotionally turbulent eyes.

"Are you satisfied now?" Bian Yue coldly said.

"Not really satisfied, I’m not happy with your attitude." Li Sihe’s voice was warm, but at this moment, his peach blossom eyes were as cold as ice, hard to hide the fierce expression, "Bian Yue, how could you do this to me?"

Bian Yue really didn’t know, how she had treated him.

"Don’t you find it funny to say that? Li Sihe, we broke up because you cheated! How can you have the face to question me here!" Bian Yue angrily raised her voice, "Please pull over now, I don’t want to talk to you!"

"What? In a hurry to go home, to see your husband?" Li Sihe’s eyes, at some point, began to redden, spreading inch by inch, each inch painfully intense.

"Yes!" Bian Yue frowned, staring coldly at him: "I need to go back to see my husband, is there a problem, Li Sihe, the one with a problem is you, entangling with a married person like me!"

Li Sihe felt as if a large chunk had been hollowed out from his heart, he stared blankly at Bian Yue, and suddenly, he forcefully closed his eyes.

Bian Yue’s hands clenched into fists, watching Li Sihe warily.

His emotions were clearly out of control tonight, Bian Yue couldn’t help but be on guard.

But the man opened his eyes, the previous emotional turmoil seemed like Bian Yue’s illusion, he said calmly, "I’ll take you home."
