After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash-Chapter 193: Everything You Do Is Right
Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Everything You Do Is Right
Bian Yue took a deep breath with effort, suppressing the complex emotions in her heart, and slowly walked towards Shen Jinci.
The latter heard footsteps, turned his head to look at her, emotions gentle in his eyes. Today, he wore a black shirt that made his complexion appear even fairer, his brows and eyes exquisitely picturesque.
Shen Jinci’s temperament is cold and indifferent at its core, but only when facing Bian Yue does a smile stemming from the heart emerge.
He held her hand and softly asked if she was tired today, and if they would go together to see Bian Shu tonight?
Looking at him, Bian Yue was at a loss for words for a long time, unsure of what to say.
Her throat rolled eagerly, and after a long while, she said, "Alright, let’s go see Bian Shu together."
Bian Yue had yet to figure out how to tell Shen Jinci about this matter, more precisely, she was also unsure if she wanted to agree to Lu Zhonian’s business proposition.
She had things on her mind, and had yet to learn how to perfectly conceal them, as Shen Jinci took notice of all her restless emotions, yet did not expose them.
Bian Shu’s current residence was within the Shen Family Mansion, just one to the south, the other to the north, quite a distance apart.
On the way, the two walked on a road dimly lit with lights, Shen Jinci holding her hand, never letting go.
"Yueyue."
"Ah?"
"How about I perform a magic trick for you?" Shen Jinci spoke with a serene voice, overly soft as he said these words.
Bian Yue was startled, "What kind of magic trick?"
Shen Jinci stopped in his tracks, pulling Bian Yue to stand under a roadside lamp nearby, and said, "Close your eyes first."
Although Bian Yue was puzzled, she didn’t resist. She closed her eyes, curiously asking, "Is it that mysterious?"
"Alright, you can open them now," Shen Jinci’s voice carried a hint of mirth.
Bian Yue slowly opened her eyes to see the flame flickering from a lighter in Shen Jinci’s hand.
"A lighter?"
"This isn’t a lighter, this is a wishing bottle. Make a wish to it, then blow a breath, and your wish will come true," Shen Jinci said this with a tone so earnest that it unexpectedly carried a persuasive power.
The corners of Bian Yue’s lips unconsciously curled up, and unprovoked, she recalled a short poem, saying, "I long for someone to love me violently until death, understanding that love is as powerful as death."
After finishing, she complied with Shen Jinci’s request and gently blew on the lighter.
As the flame extinguished, Bian Yue saw the smile fade at the corners of Shen Jinci’s lips. He gazed at her, his look intense as he said, "Bian Yue, your wish has already come true."
A sour surge of emotions welled up in Bian Yue’s throat, so many words at that moment seemed ready to spill forth.
But all she did was muster a smile, her voice hoarse, "I know."
Yet happiness is but a fleeting illusion, and I’m not certain if the emotions of this moment can represent a lifetime.
People change; this is something Bian Yue has always known.
The secluded villa, hidden behind a sea of flowers, provided an environment well-suited for convalescence.
Stopping at the doorway, Shen Jinci said, "I’ll wait for you outside, call me if you need anything."
Bian Yue nodded, her heart torn with complex emotions, so much so that at this moment, she kept her gaze down, not daring to look into Shen Jinci’s eyes.
She turned and walked into the house, oblivious to Shen Jinci’s gaze, which remained fixed on her retreating figure.
At the moment Bian Yue closed the door, Shen Jinci dialed Kang Yu’s phone.
The man’s voice was indifferent and frosty. "Find out who Bian Yue met with today."
Inside the room, Bian Shu’s mood had been very stable today. Seeing Bian Yue enter, she put down the newspaper in her hand and revealed a slightly reserved smile, pale and fragile.
"It’s Bian Yue... Why have you come..."
Bian Yue was pleasantly surprised by Bian Shu’s stable mood. Her smile deepened as she sat beside Bian Shu and softly said, "I heard from the doctor that you might wake up tonight, so I came to see you. Sister... how have you been these years?"
"Pretty good, Yueyue. When will uncle and aunt come over? It’s been so many years since I’ve seen them, are they doing well?" Bian Shu’s smile remained, but her eyes held an eager expectation.
Bian Yue’s eyes suddenly burned hot, and her lips trembled slightly, her voice tinged with a sense of shattering, "Sister... Dad and Mom... have passed away..."
The last few words felt like they took all her strength to say.
Bian Shu’s smile froze, and she stared blankly at Bian Yue, tears filling her eyes, "What exactly happened?"
Bian Yue dug out old news and all the information, handing it to Bian Shu.
She tried to control her emotions. The shock on Bian Shu’s face grew heavier, and after hearing everything, she remained silent for a long time.
Seeing her dazed, Bian Yue slowly embraced her.
Bian Yue, feeling the faint scent of medicine on Bian Shu, said softly, "Sister, uncle passed away trying to save my father. Don’t worry, even though the Bian Family is no more, I will protect you well and won’t let anyone harm you."
Bian Shu, in Bian Yue’s embrace, breathed rapidly, asking, "Bian Yue, who? Who caused the death of uncle and aunt?"
Bian Yue held Bian Shu tighter, and at an angle where Bian Shu couldn’t see, tears fell as she choked out in a low voice, "Many people, I know the Li Family is the biggest mastermind behind the scenes."
As the words fell, she heard Bian Shu’s desperate sobs. She clasped her own arms tightly, speaking in a voice breaking with despair, "Yueyue, do we no longer have a home?" ƒгeewebnovёl_com
Bian Yue’s heart twisted in agony. She waited until Bian Shu’s emotions stabilized before speaking earnestly and firmly, "Sister, rest assured, I will revive the Bian Family. I won’t let our family be disgraced."
"Bian Yue... Bian Yue..." Bian Shu murmured her name, insisting, "You can’t forgive those people, you absolutely can’t let them off, or our father’s spirit in heaven will never rest in peace."
Bian Yue felt as if a sharp sword had suddenly pierced her heart, her face turning deathly pale, and for a moment, she was overwhelmed with unspeakable despair.
She soothed Bian Shu to sleep and left the room with unsteady steps.
Shen Jinci was still standing at the door. Bian Yue saw his slender fingertips holding a white cigarette, the fiery red glow flickering, his way of smoking despondent and yet seductive.
But the moment he saw her, Shen Jinci rapidly snapped the cigarette in half.
Bian Yue hadn’t seen him smoke in a long time. Smelling the faint tobacco scent on him, her eyes conveyed a blank questioning, "Why did you suddenly start smoking?"
Shen Jinci gave a small laugh and softly said, "Just bored standing here, it’s nothing. Let’s go back, Yueyue."
Bian Yue nodded, and just as she was about to step out, Shen Jinci lightly grasped her arm and pulled her into his embrace, lifting her off the ground.
The night was cool as water, and in Shen Jinci’s arms, Bian Yue felt a featherlight drowsiness.
Her head rested against Shen Jinci’s chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, which only deepened her sleepiness.
Not until Shen Jinci spoke, saying, "Yueyue, you’ve worked hard."
Bian Yue, though drowsy, still frowned with guilt, "Shen Jinci, I don’t know what the right thing to do is."
In a blurred haze, she heard Shen Jinci’s almost indulgent words, "Whatever you do is right."
