Facing Li Sihe’s accusatory gaze, Shen Jinci remained calm.
He said indifferently, "The old grudge between us runs deep. It was only a matter of ti before you began to suspect ."
Upon hearing this, Li Sihe’s face grew colder. He looked at Shen Jinci’s self-assured manner and could not help but sneer, "Don’t be too smug. Even if I die, I will uncover your true identity before I do, Shen Jinci. I won’t allow soone as suspicious as you to stay by Bian Yue’s side!"
Shen Jinci simply pushed his cup closer to Li Sihe, "You should refrain from overexerting yourself these days. Li Sihe, you won’t have many more chances to visit a hospital. One must cherish their life."
Li Sihe had long stopped caring. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then looked back at Shen Jinci with a painful and enduring smile. The daily tornt of his illness had already weakened his body considerably.
He glared at Shen Jinci resentfully and chuckled bitterly, "Ha, don’t put on such an act. Bian Yue isn’t here, you can drop the pretense now. You’d be glad to see dead."
Shen Jinci had no intention of continuing the conversation with Li Sihe and sat silently aside.
It was like punching cotton for Li Sihe; without a response, there was nothing but raging anger left to be vented.
He had already found so leads. Pursuing them to uncover everything was rely a matter of ti.
He cursed his failing health which was barely clinging to life.
He closed his eyes, his face turning ashen and slowly said: "Shen Jinci, I will find the truth. I will expose you..."
His words were like a low murmur filled with malevolence.
Yet, Shen Jinci felt no turmoil inside.
At this stage, he had no intention of sitting still awaiting his demise.
If Li Sihe really intended to continue investigating, it might be better for him to tell everything to Bian Yue.
But ultimately, it’s hard to confront one’s deeply dark and cruel side, especially in front of a person they care most about.
Bian Yue was not only the person Shen Jinci cared for most, but also his only bond in this world.
This enormous secret hung over like a sword of judgnt. Until all truths were laid bare, no one knew what the final outco would be...
Thus, Shen Jinci needed to find a way out.
Not a way out for himself, but... for Bian Yue...
Bian Yue encountered Su Youxue in the hospital corridor, who was followed by several experts from the garden. Seeing Bian Yue erge, she quickly approached and asked, "Did sothing happen to Sihe?"
"He’s okay. I ca out to look for you," Bian Yue replied, glancing at the doctors behind Su Youxue with a polite expression.
Su Youxue’s expression relaxed visibly, and sighing in relief, she said, "Alright, let’s go back imdiately, co on."
But after only a few steps, a voice tinged with mockery followed from behind.
"I thought I was mistaken at first, but it’s really you guys. How co, no need to stay by Li Sihe?"
Zhuang Jie Ning and Li Tingmo approached from not far away. At that mont, Zhuang Jie Ning wore a face that was clearly relishing the spectacle. As she spoke, her eyes lingered on Bian Yue, briefly showing a flicker of coldness.
Bian Yue said nothing and continued straight back to the hospital room.
Inside, there was dead silence, making the sound of Bian Yue pushing the door unusually clear.
Li Sihe heard a noise, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly looked over. Seeing Bian Yue, a joyful expression appeared on his face, "Yueyue, you’re back..."
But in the next mont, the smile on Li Sihe’s face disappeared.
Zhuang Jie Ning and others walked in, making the already spacious hospital room suddenly feel cramped.
"Your dad and the others are here, so I will leave now. Make sure you rest these next few days. Your assistant Bai Xu told that the Li Family’s private hospital will soon send soone to pick you up. I’ll co visit you again next ti."
After Bian Yue finished speaking, she tugged at Shen Jinci’s sleeve, "Jinci, let’s go."
"Yueyue..." Li Sihe wanted to say more but stopped.
anwhile, Shen Jinci wore a calm expression, allowing Bian Yue to lead him out.
Zhuang Jie Ning watched Shen Jinci’s receding figure, feeling a whirlpool of complicated emotions in her heart.
Why...
Why don’t I even deserve one more glance from him?
In this hospital room, it seed that apart from Bian Yue, everyone else was just air to Shen Jinci.
There was a sting in Zhuang Jie Ning’s eyes, she suddenly smiled and loudly said, "Mr. Shen, you and Bian Yue take your ti leaving. I’ll have soone send the wedding invitation for Li Sihe and my wedding to Lixing."
Su Youxue’s stance faltered montarily, she looked at Zhuang Jie Ning in astonishnt, her hand involuntarily tightening, the skin digging painfully into her fingertips.
And Bian Yue stopped in her tracks, looking towards Zhuang Jie Ning, also sowhat surprised. Given Li Sihe’s current physical condition, he probably had difficulty even standing up, yet Zhuang Jie Ning was talking about holding a wedding.
Beside them, Li Tingmo’s expression remained unchanged, clearly having reached a consensus on the way here.
Bian Yue had seen business marriages before and knew that in such marriages, love was trivial.
But the current situation was not at all a good ti for a wedding.
Shen Jinci watched this farce with a cold gaze, his eyes falling on Li Sihe behind the hospital bed, who appeared indifferent, as if separated by frost and snow, emanating a cold air.
He did not seem like the groom of this wedding, more like a spectator.
And Su Youxue stared blankly at the glaring smile on Zhuang Jie Ning’s face, tears welling up in her eyes, she took a deep breath and hoarsely said, "Miss Zhuang... Li Sihe is not in a condition for a wedding, isn’t it unnecessary to rush this?"
"I am speaking to Mr. Shen, why are you interfering? Su Youxue, I just couldn’t be bothered to deal with you so I allowed you to stay by Li Sihe’s side, did you really start to think you’re Mrs. Li?"
Zhuang Jie Ning sneered, her eyes brimming with mockery, but in the next mont, when she looked at Shen Jinci, that mockery turned into complex pain.
She paused, then continued, "Mr. Shen, although the cooperation between Lixing and Feng Cheng has concluded, I still hope that our families can get along well. If the child in my belly is born, Mr. Shen, you should co for the full-month celebration."
A single sentence completely turned the already silent atmosphere into an even more eerie stillness.
After Bian Yue and Shen Jinci left, in the hospital room, Li Sihe’s expression darkened, coldly looking at Zhuang Jie Ning.
His eyes seed to be looking at an irrelevant passerby, questioning word by word, "Whose child is it from the Li Family?"
Li Tingmo had been silent since he ca in, and seeing Li Sihe’s indifferent emotions, he nervously said, "Sihe, don’t be angry, no matter whose child this is, ultimately, it will be registered as your child."
"Right, does it matter whose child it is? What you, Li Sihe, need is a child, isn’t it?"
Zhuang Jie Ning’s hand gently brushed over her flat belly, smiling elegantly, "Li Sihe, you should be thankful for . If it weren’t for , after your death, your dad would be without descendants."
