Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Setting You Free

But.... such definite, straightforward, completely confirmable love, Bian Yue has not received for a very long time.

So she said, "Shen Jinci, then... Will we continue to get along as before in the future?"

Shen Jinci is very patient.

Especially so when it comes to Bian Yue.

What he has always been good at is lying low and waiting.

So he said, "Of course, nothing will change."

Bian Yue suddenly looked up at him, her eyes clearly filled with unease; she was testing the waters.

She suddenly smiled at him and said cautiously, "I have a question."

Shen Jinci asked her what it was.

Bian Yue said, "You love me, so surely you wouldn’t want to divorce me, but if... I can never fall in love with you, and I want to divorce you after our partnership ends, what will you do?"

"Nothing will change; we are still partners."

Shen Jinci’s expression did not fluctuate at all; he remains calm and gentle, only the angle of his lowered eyelashes deepened, and he said in a low voice, "I will set you free, if that’s what you want."

Bian Yue didn’t know how she fell asleep; she was carried upstairs in Shen Jinci’s arms.

The man had become as gentle and calm as before, his brows and eyes warm and tranquil. Sitting beside her bed, looking at her restless demeanor, he said, "Sleep, I’ll watch over you."

The fierce argument and declarations of love that had just occurred seemed like they never happened.

Bian Yue wasn’t even sure if all this was just a dream.

She asked him, "You must have rushed back from abroad today; was the flight tiring?"

Shen Jinci said it wasn’t tiring, paused, then added, "Yueyue, I’m sorry, I just got a little jealous, so I couldn’t control my emotions earlier."

His words were very light and sincere, truly filled with remorse.

Bian Yue said it was okay, but what she really wanted to say was, Shen Jinci, I’m sorry to have made you worry.

The same deep night, Fengcheng Group.

Bai Xu stood outside the president’s office, looking at the cold light seeping through the door crack, his expression tense.

His mobile phone was vibrating in his hand; the Li Family’s old residence, Li Tingmo’s assistant had just called, asking why Li Sihe had not returned home.

This kind of matter wouldn’t normally involve Li Tingmo personally.

But it was because Li Tingmo had been informed by Shen Jinci’s warning, asking the Li Family not to disturb his wife unnecessarily.

Although he didn’t name anyone, everyone knew the person intended must be Li Sihe.

Li Tingmo was furious enough to have his subordinates make several calls to Bai Xu, urging Li Sihe to return home.

"Assistant Bai, what shall we do now?" A middle-aged executive asked anxiously, "Should we simply tell the chairman that Mr. Li got drunk?"

Bai Xu took a deep breath, his voice tense, "Never mind, I’ll go wake up the young master."

Li Sihe had actually already awoken, but the moment he opened his eyes, he didn’t know where he was.

Footsteps approached from not far away, Li Sihe looked over and saw Bai Xu walking towards him, his expression serious.

"Young master." Bai Xu hadn’t expected Li Sihe to be awake already; he quickly stepped forward, asking with concern, "How are you feeling now?"

Li Sihe’s movements were slow as he massaged his forehead, he closed his eyes, his eyes alarmingly bloodshot, "Did I meet someone?"

Bai Xu’s expression stiffened, complex emotions crossing his face.

Was this being awake from alcohol, remembering nothing?

"You..." Bai Xu hesitated and sighed as he looked at Li Sihe, "Don’t you remember? You met Miss Bian Yue on the roadside and forcefully...forcefully..."

Li Sihe paused, rubbing his temples. Reminded by Bai Xu, everything flooded back into his mind.

His expression froze and then he slowly said, "I did something bad to Bian Yue."

Bai Xu fell silent.

A shadow passed over the elegant face of Li Sihe as all his memories began to resurface, sluggishly returning to his consciousness.

Li Sihe always made moves without regrets, yet at this moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of desolation.

He tugged at the corner of his lips and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Bian Yue must be very angry?"

"You remember now..." Bai Xu sighed, "Do you... need to go home first? See your father, he has been looking for you."

Li Sihe frowned, annoyance filling his eyes.

"I plan to handle some affairs at Fengcheng Group, tell him I’m too busy to return."

Bai Xu was alarmed and couldn’t help but whisper a reminder, "Shen Jinci was very displeased with your actions tonight, so he informed your father. If you don’t go back, it might make things worse."

It’s ridiculous that newcomers could be so arrogant.

But on reflection, he was now Bian Yue’s lawful husband; he had the right to be arrogant.

Li Sihe’s gaze grew colder. He lowered his eyes indifferently, masking a trace of ferocity as he said lightly, "Whether it’s serious or not, I don’t care."

Bai Xu could see that Li Sihe’s patience with Li Tingmo had also reached its limit, a father-son confrontation was inevitable.

So he refrained from advising further and simply said, "I’ll bring in the documents you need to process. Just a moment."

Li Sihe remained silent, his face expressionless and calm, his peach blossom eyes filled with unspeakable complex emotions.

Right now, he desperately needed something to numb his senses.

Sometimes, work was also a good choice.

That night, the lights in the Fengcheng Group’s president’s office were bright.

By 8 o’clock in the morning, Bai Xu hurriedly rushed out, holding a bloodstained handkerchief, and instructed the secretariat to immediately contact a doctor.

The personal doctor swiftly arrived and after examining Li Sihe reported with a sigh of relief, "Young Master only suffered from lack of rest and emotional distress which caused the bleeding. He just needs a good rest."

Bai Xu stood by, relieved by the news.

Yet Li Sihe remained indifferent throughout, as if the person who vomited blood and was examined wasn’t him.

He didn’t care at all.

After the doctor left, Bai Xu couldn’t help but say, "Young Master, let’s go to Half Mountain Villa. You should see a hypnotist and get some good sleep. Your complexion is really bad."

Li Sihe said it wasn’t necessary; he was fine right now.

"You just vomited blood!" Bai Xu’s voice trembled, both anxious and worried, "I don’t understand, if you really can’t bear to leave her, why did you initially..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, as he met Li Sihe’s cold and emotionless gaze and shut his mouth.

Li Sihe looked away and said coldly, "Get out."

Bai Xu left, gritting his teeth.

But just as he stepped out, he bumped into Wang Dan’an, who was all smiles.

Behind him was a young woman. Bai Xu only glanced at her and his expression changed.

How could this woman look so much like Bian Yue?

Wang Dan’an had already approached Bai Xu, "Assistant Bai, good morning! I’m here to see Mr. Li, could you let him know?"
