In a hazy blur, she heard Shen Jinci’s indulgent words, "Whatever you do is right."
His voice was too soft, Bian Yue had already fallen asleep and heard nothing.
Her sleeping face tranquil, she nestled in his arms, trusting him entirely.
Shen Jinci had never been trusted like this before; his past was too dark, so much so that even the thought of glancing back at it now felt blood-soaked.
Bian Yue didn’t know that after she fell asleep, Shen Jinci sat alone in the study for a long ti.
He held the collaboration docunt between Honey and Lixing, flipping through it over and over again, before taking a lighter nearby and lighting it without hesitation.
The flas flickered in his hand, the fire devouring the pages, burning to ash little by little in his grip...
When Bian Yue woke up, Shen Jinci was already asleep by her side, holding her as he always did. His long lashes rested on her peaceful sleeping face, beautiful like a painting.
Bian Yue rarely saw soone whose appearance changed so drastically between sleep and wakefulness.
No matter how gentle Shen Jinci’s deanor was during the day, one could tell he had a cold aura, that deep down he was a very indifferent person. But now, lying beside her, he was elegantly beautiful, an impeccable face.
Bian Yue raised her hand, cautiously touching his brows and eyes, her heart suddenly stirring.
These coming days were bound to be busy with the premiere of "Shengshi Yan"; there was no room for error.
She had many people to et today, foreseeably hectic, yet looking at Shen Jinci, she sowhat couldn’t bear to get up.
Bian Yue herself didn’t realize, a smile played at her lips.
Under her gaze, Shen Jinci eventually slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes dark and deep, carrying a just-awoken languor, he asked softly, "When did you wake up?"
Bian Yue said, just a few minutes before you.
"Busy today, too?" Shen Jinci stroked her hair, "Take care of your health."
"I know, you too, take care of yourself," Bian Yue replied, and then, thinking for a mont, she leaned in to kiss his cheek.
The young girl’s face was a bit red, her lips curled in an uncontrollable smile, she said, "Mr. Shen is truly a feast for the eyes."
Shen Jinci chuckled, raising an eyebrow, the tone betraying no emotion, "Flirting with again?"
"After all, today’s busy, teasing you is like recharging," Bian Yue said. "Shen Jinci, you don’t mind."
"Of course not, just this weekend, can Miss Bian make so ti?"
"Hm?"
"You forgot?" Shen Jinci sighed, raising his hand, his knuckles gently tapped against Bian Yue’s forehead, "This weekend, it’s your birthday."
Bian Yue’s eyes widened suddenly, "Ah, is it my birthday already? I really did forget."
Shen Jinci thought to himself, she really was too busy, indeed full of concerns.
A wave of tenderness surged over him, Shen Jinci gently pulled Bian Yue’s arm, pulling her into an embrace, "It’s okay... I’ll rember it for you."
Bian Yue’s smile deepened between her brows, and she nodded vigorously, her eyes bright within his embrace. She said, "Yes, I know, you will rember everything for ."
"This afternoon, I’ll have Shen Zhaoli finalize the cooperation details with you at Honey. He will contact you in advance."
The sudden words from Shen Jinci made Bian Yue stiffen unconsciously.
She really wasn’t a good actress; all her emotions were like transparent glass, with nothing concealed, and Shen Jinci could only pretend not to see them.
"This afternoon?" Bian Yue’s voice was one of surprise.
"What’s the matter? Is there a problem?" Shen Jinci looked intently at Bian Yue, his voice soft and tender, "If you think that the cooperation needs to be postponed, you can tell ."
"Jinci, I know you’ve put a lot of effort into the cooperation between Honey and Lixing. So, I will be careful with any decision I make," Bian Yue paused, her expression sincere, "Can you give a little more ti?"
"Yueyue, the board of directors at Lixing is already pressuring ; I can’t wait any longer. If you really want to stand on your own in the business world, you can’t expect to keep making concessions for you." Shen Jinci’s voice was calm, rely stating a fact, yet Bian Yue looked at him sowhat unexpectedly.
His sudden switch to business talk was sothing Bian Yue was unaccustod to.
At this mont, she clearly and distinctly realized that Shen Jinci, indeed, had shown her the heavy favoritism that Lu Zhonian had ntioned.
Bian Yue knew that Shen Jinci was right now.
So she lifted her smile, saying softly, "Okay, then I’ll wait for Shen Zhaoli to co to ."
Shen Jinci’s heart seed to be gripped tight; he looked at Bian Yue, emotion of unwillingness spreading.
In the prolonged silence, he kissed Bian Yue’s forehead, whispering softly, "My Little Yue, you’ll stand by my side, right?"
Bian Yue’s smile deepened; feeling the love-filled kiss from Shen Jinci, she said, "Yes, I will."
The morning eting at Lixing Group today went exceptionally smoothly.
The cooperation with Honey, which had been at a standstill and mired in controversy, was suddenly relaxed today by Shen Jinci, who agreed to the board’s demand to add a professional manager to Honey and also reduced the investnt share.
This ant that Lixing would be directly interfering with Honey’s internal decisions in the cooperation.
For the board of Lixing Group, this decision was enough for each to take a step back.
"Mr. Shen is indeed clear-headed, knowing what the right decision is. At the previous board eting, I was quite disrespectful to Mr. Shen. I would like to apologize to Mr. Shen here."
"Yes, if Honey can beco an asset to Lixing in the future, it is naturally a welco developnt for all of us. You and Miss Bian are husband and wife after all, and there’s really no need to be so strict."
Everyone had their say, but in summary, they all seed to be satisfied with the outco.
Shen Zhaoli frowned, not understanding as he looked at Shen Jinci’s unflinching face.
Until everyone left the eting, Shen Zhaoli remained sitting; he looked at Shen Jinci, who was about to stand up, and said coldly, "Brother, don’t leave just yet, I have sothing to ask you."
Shen Jinci sat back down, and with only the two of them left in the eting room, he placed a contract in front of Shen Zhaoli, "This is the new cooperation agreent I’ve drawn up. Find so ti this afternoon to discuss it with Tong Bian Yue."
Shen Zhaoli frowned, "A new one? Was there sothing wrong with the previous one?"
Seeing that Shen Jinci didn’t answer, Shen Zhaoli picked up the proposal and began to leaf through it.
Having read half of it, Shen Zhaoli put the proposal down, very astonished, "Are you sure you want to discuss the cooperation with Bian Yue like this? Shen Jinci, this is really talking business. I thought you would at least leave so benefits for Bian Yue."
"She’s too kind-hearted; I can’t let it continue," Shen Jinci said, looking at the proposal Shen Zhaoli had tossed onto the table, his eyes without a single ripple, "The first lesson I need to teach Bian Yue is to learn to be ruthless."
