Bian Yue exchanged glances with Wei Shuqian, nodding subtly and said, "Mr. Wei, let’s talk, if it’s convenient."
minutes later, Bian Yue was sitting beside Shen Jinci, looking at the expressionless Wei Shuqian in front of her.
"Miss Bian, there isn’t much interaction between us. If you have sothing to say, please get straight to the point," Wei Shuqian’s voice was indifferent, devoid of much warmth, as he added, "Of course, it’s best to keep it brief."
"Mr. Wei, I know I am being presumptuous, but I still want to ask, why are you so intent on marrying Wen Jiao? Is it because of the mistakes she made when she used to date you?"
As Bian Yue spoke, she frowned and softly continued, "I don’t know why Wen Jiao agreed to you, but I know she’s been in a bad mood today. She hasn’t left the house in a long ti, she ntioned eting with several tis but always canceled last minute and never showed up. I know she has worries."
Shen Jinci rely listened, appearing as an observer, his gaze fixed solely on Bian Yue.
Unnoticed, he naturally took Bian Yue’s hand in his and pressed it gently, a posture subtly revealing possessiveness.
"Miss Bian, I’m not aware of these concerns. If Wen Jiao has any worries, you should ask her," Wei Shuqian maintained his consistent deanor, with a slightly restrained tone after noticing Shen Jinci’s actions, "I am not Wen Jiao, I don’t know what she thinks."
"Then, Mr. Wei, can you answer my previous question? What are your thoughts?" Bian Yue pressed Wei Shuqian, asking, "Is it out of revenge? Do you want to trap her for life?"
Wei Shuqian sneered, looking at Bian Yue, his eyes tinted with a trace of mockery, "Miss Bian, even soone like , dissolute to the bone, would not use my own marriage for revenge. It’s my whole life too."
Bian Yue’s brows relaxed, she asked, "Do you love Wen Jiao?"
Wei Shuqian’s expression flickered montarily but soon returned to being impassive.
He stood up displeased, coldly stared at Bian Yue, "I hate her."
After saying that, without waiting for another question from Bian Yue, he left directly.
Shen Jinci chuckled softly, leaning lazily on the sofa, and lightly wrapped his arm around Bian Yue’s shoulder, giving it a squeeze, saying, "He is not a patient man. Don’t ask anymore."
Bian Yue sighed with a hint of resignation, "I’m just worried about Wen Jiao. She once said she would visit at the drama set, but she never showed up even when the shooting ended."
"Maybe she was held up by family matters? You and Wen Jiao have known each other since childhood and t so many tis. A little ti apart won’t affect your relationship, don’t worry."
Shen Jinci paused, his voice losing its joviality, "Yueyue, Wei Shuqian won’t harm her."
Bian Yue puzzled, "How can you be so sure?"
Shen Jinci’s expression tensed slightly, then he gently combed through Bian Yue’s hair, stating, "I’ve t him a few tis and got to know him a bit."
"Do you have a collaboration with him?"
"Perhaps in the future."
Bian Yue, thoughtful, nodded. She hadn’t forgotten her purpose and placed the proposal in front of Shen Jinci. "About what you ntioned last ti, I discussed it in a eting at Honey, and redrafted a version. Take a look and see if it satisfies you."
"Alright, leave it here. I’ll take a look slowly."
Bian Yue urged, "Why wait? Look at it now."
Shen Jinci’s eyes twinkled with mirth as he asked Bian Yue, asking how much ti President Bian had allotted him.
Bian Yue replied not much, pleading with Mr. Shen to hurry as she needed to go to the variety show set in 40 minutes to support her new artist.
"How can you be such a demanding client? Urging and giving such tight timing when asking for a favor?" Shen Jinci smiled slowly, "This attitude makes it hard to believe in the sincerity of your cooperation."
Bian Yue raised an eyebrow, her hands climbing up to Shen Jinci’s neck, "Why do I feel like Mr. Shen is using his authority for personal gain?"
"What am I scheming?"
"I—"
Bian Yue said, with her eyes gleaming genuinely, touching Shen Jinci’s heart.
Then Bian Yue paused and continued, "—your ti."
"Then, can President Bian afford to give a bit more ti?" Shen Jinci raised an eyebrow, "40 minutes is truly not enough."
"It’s just a few pages, Mr. Shen, you can glance through it quickly," Bian Yue said.
Shen Jinci gazed into Bian Yue’s eyes, until even the usually oblivious Bian Yue felt an unusual embarrassnt, he then whispered warmly, "It’s indeed quick, but I can’t focus on anything with you here."
Bian Yue truly didn’t know how Shen Jinci could, with such a cold and noble face, speak such romantic words as naturally as eating and drinking.
Her heart thudded, her hands tightening around Shen Jinci’s neck, and she whispered into his ear, "I know 40 minutes is definitely not enough, I just ca... to deliver the proposal, and incidentally... see you."
Her voice brushed like a feather against Shen Jinci’s heart, inducing a faint itch.
"Incidentally see ?" His voice was magnetically husky, extrely pleasing to the ear.
Bian Yue’s ears turned red, she said, "Well, actually it’s mainly to see you. As for... regarding the proposal, that’s just incidental."
"Mm." Shen Jinci finally satisfied, caressed Bian Yue’s hair, "I’ll take a good look after you leave."
Bian Yue, reluctant to part, stood straight, distancing herself from him, her hand lingering on his shoulder, "Shen Jinci, I want to work hard."
"That’s good."
"No, you don’t understand," Bian Yue shook her head earnestly, "It’s not just about running Honey well, but also to make it the top in the industry and to regain the Bian Family’s status among Xiangjiang’s elite, even if I’m the only one left in the Bian Family."
Bian Yue waited nervously for Shen Jinci’s response.
His gaze remained focused, he stared at Bian Yue unwaveringly.
Bian Yue whispered, "If one day, Honey and Lixing should transition from a cooperative to a competitive relationship, would that be alright?"
"Yueyue, that’s good," Shen Jinci said amidst Bian Yue’s eager gaze, his tone steady, "you go ahead and test your limits; that’s good. As for , Shen Jinci, I unconditionally stand by your side."
Bian Yue asked, "What if you have to choose between the Shen Family and ?"
"The Shen Family is my responsibility, but I can find soone suitable to take over the responsibility and leave with you. Yueyue, if such a day really cos, you will definitely be my top choice."
His words were rational, but Bian Yue was moved nonetheless.
She knew Shen Jinci had seriously considered it.
Gazing into Shen Jinci’s profound eyes, the next mont, she tentatively leaned closer, kissed the corner of his lips, and quickly pulled away.
Her expression was nervous, yet also brave. She looked at the man whose gaze visibly darkened, and firmly stated, "Shen Jinci, I love you too."
