Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Hug the Moon
Su Youxue bit her lip and nodded.
Zhuang Jie Ning thought, after all these years, just how many people have truly seen Li Sihe.
Seemingly gentle and courteous, a modest gentleman.
But in reality, his heart is ruthless to the extreme, regarding no one else.
There was only that one person... the exception.
Zhuang Jie Ning said, "Do you know who is coming today?"
Su Youxue looked bewildered, shaking her head in ignorance.
"It’s Bian Yue, and her husband Shen Jinci."
Su Youxue gazed blankly at Zhuang Jie Ning, her eyes filled with deeper confusion.
Clearly, the person who had sent her to Li Sihe had not mentioned Bian Yue, or more precisely, had deliberately avoided it.
Su Youxue smiled with a mocking tone, "You just mentioned that Li Sihe has never touched you, don’t you find that strange? If he had no interest in you, why keep you by his side?"
Right to the point.
Su Youxue did not speak, but her eyes clearly also held curiosity and bewilderment.
"I’m not actually one to meddle in other people’s affairs, but seeing you like this is truly pitiful," Zhuang Jie Ning lightly ’tsked’ and said indifferently, "Because you resemble Bian Yue."
"Today’s guests..." Su Youxue became even more bewildered. "What’s the relationship between Bian Yue and Mr. Li?"
"Before the engagement dispute with me, Li Sihe had a fiancée, and that was Bian Yue."
Zhuang Jie Ning gently caressed Su Youxue’s face, sighing with pity, "Miss Su, all your favor stems merely from your resemblance to Bian Yue. When you walked in just now, I noticed immediately, your eyes are indeed too similar to hers."
Su Youxue’s heart felt as if it was being fried in hot oil.
She had never imagined that the real answer would be so embarrassing.
"Thanks to Miss Zhuang for informing me," Su Youxue took a deep breath, her eyes reddening, "I understand that I am nothing but an object for Mr. Li to pass time when he’s bored. Whom Mr. Li truly likes, I don’t care."
Zhuang Jie Ning gave a cold laugh, scrutinizing Su Youxue.
She had seen too many of these female celebrities seeking to climb up the social ladder, positing themselves as morally superior while acting contrary.
Zhuang Jie Ning didn’t believe there was any difference in people’s hearts.
All are equally rotten.
She tugged at the corner of her lips, giving a cold laugh, "If you don’t mind, then why are you upset? Miss Su, don’t you want to replace that Bian Yue and become the true love of Li Sihe?"
Su Youxue looked at her, shocked, visibly moved, but quickly, she looked down and calmly said, "I am unworthy, Miss Zhuang is joking."
"Don’t hurry to reject me, Su Youxue, I am not a person who can’t tolerate others, regardless of whether I end up marrying Li Sihe or someone else, I won’t mind his affairs or even where his heart lies."
Zhuang Jie Ning patted Su Youxue’s face, "I can help you gain Li Sihe’s favor, if you’re interested, you can come to me."
Su Youxue looked uncertain, watching Zhuang Jie Ning leave with a smile on her face, her heart pounding.
She could help her gain Li Sihe’s affection?
How could that be possible.
As Zhuang Jie Ning walked to the door, she suddenly stopped, turning back to look at Su Youxue, she said with a smile, "If you don’t believe me, you can try it out. Tonight, go to Li Sihe’s room with a bowl of Longan Tea you’ve made yourself."
Su Youxue frowned, "I can’t..."
"Exactly because it’s not possible," Zhuang Jie Ning said, "Besides, you can sneak a peek at today’s drama. After all, that Bian Yue and you... your eyes really do look alike."
Bian Yue, Bian Yue, this name seems like a sharp needle, stabbing one’s heart...
Bian Yue fell asleep on the road, and when she woke up, the car had already stopped at the Li Family’s gate.
Shen Jinci adjusted the blanket on her, asking if she wanted to sleep a little longer?
Groggily, Bian Yue looked out of the window, her voice husky yet sweet, "Haven’t we already arrived?"
"If you’re still tired, sleep a little longer." Shen Jinci touched the corner of her eye, his voice clear and gentle, filled with tender concern, "Why are your eyes so swollen? Didn’t sleep well last night?"
Bian Yue said she had slept well, paused for a moment, and then said, last night she dreamed of her mom and dad, Shen Jinci, I haven’t dreamed of them in a long time.
Shen Jinci’s hand at the corner of her eye hesitated, then he whispered, "Hold Little Yue, is that okay?"
It really sounded like coaxing a child.
Bian Yue couldn’t help but laugh with bright eyes, she said, "Alright."
So Shen Jinci embraced her within his arms.
In her ear, he spoke in a voice only they could hear, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here, whatever your parents left for you, I’ll get them back for you."
Bian Yue, unsettled, voiced her worries, "This matter might be quite troublesome, right?"
"It won’t be too troublesome, your matters are never troublesome," Shen Jinci paused briefly and then said, "Bian Yue, you can try to trust me completely."
Bian Yue said, "I already trust you a lot."
"Not enough."
Bian Yue looked confused, "What should I do then?"
"You should feel that no matter what the matter is about you, I will never consider it a trouble." Shen Jinci kissed her forehead gently, saying, "Only that would suffice."
The touch on her forehead was moist; Bian Yue’s eyelashes trembled even more absurdly, her hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, the rims of her ears reddened.
Shen Jinci said, "I know you have many concerns, so you don’t need to think about anything."
"Then... what should I do?"
"Don’t just listen to what I say, you only need to see what I do," he said this way.
When the two walked into the hall, Li Tingmo, Tang Yuwei, and Li Sihe were all present.
Zhuang Jie Ning was there, too, laughing and chatting with Tang Yuwei.
Their appearance broke the balance in the hall.
Li Sihe’s gaze fell on Bian Yue and Shen Jinci’s clasped hands, his eyes as if pricked by needles, his usually gentle façade revealing a devious hostility, extremely precarious.
Li Tingmo was smiling quietly without any change in expression, his face full of affection.
Upon seeing Bian Yue appear, Zhuang Jie Ning feigned surprise with a light sigh, saying, "Oh, Bian Yue, why are you here? Is there something important?"
Having said that, Zhuang Jie Ning smiled again and turned to look at Tang Yuwei, saying, "Auntie, since you’re busy, I’ll take my leave first, continue chatting."
Tang Yuwei grasped Zhuang Jie Ning’s hand with eyes that held a touch of blame, heaved a sigh and said, "You child, why be so formal? Just treat this place like your home, we’re talking as a family, what is there for you to avoid?"
Tang Yuwei then looked at Bian Yue, her eyes expressing difficulty, "Bian Yue, you see... I..."
Bian Yue did not speak; Shen Jinci had already taken her by the shoulders, his voice cool and composed, plainly stating, "Let’s talk about what matters directly."
"Mr. Shen, it’s been a long time since we last met with Bian Yue, why not have a meal first?" Li Tingmo smiled as he stood up, suggesting, "After all, Bian Yue also grew up in our Li Family, coming back this time is like coming home, we can’t forego the necessary formalities."
