It wasn’t until she was embraced by the man that his anxious and eager voice rang in her ears, saying, "How are you? Yueyue, are you alright!" Bian Yue, hearing his voice, felt it was surreal. "I’m here, Yueyue, I’m right here." Bian Yue’s eyes brimmed with pain, a warmth surging upwards, and her voice uncontrollably choking, "Call my name, call my name again..." "Bian Yue... Bian Yue..." Shen Jinci held her face, repeating each word softly and slowly. His eyes were clearly reddening, but he still controlled his emotions, speaking calmly and tenderly, "Yueyue, I’m here, don’t be afraid, I will take you away." Bian Yue’s tears poured down as she held onto Shen Jinci without the slightest hesitation. Even though there were so many strangers around now, surrounded by enemies, it wasn’t a place to talk at all. But Bian Yue’s emotions, upon seeing Shen Jinci, were already uncontrollable. Her tears were scalding as she buried her face in Shen Jinci’s chest, weeping out loud, "I’ve finally... finally seen you, I haven’t seen you for so many days... I was really scared, Jinci... I was really afraid..." "Don’t be afraid, Yueyue don’t be afraid... I will never let you fall into danger again, I will protect you, rest assured, from now on I’ll be by your side, never leaving." Googlᴇ search novèlfire.net He was such a cold person, usually as detached as the snow, forever unmelting, but now, he was holding Bian Yue tight, his hands trembling. He didn’t care about the many people present, his demeanor completely abandoned, just repeating words of comfort to the girl he loved most. How can someone always reside atop a pedestal; love always leads to irretrievable doom. When Li Sihe emerged from the sidelight, Li Tingmo did not follow him out. His shrewd scheming had won him everything he desired, yet birthed an unprecedented sense of desolation. And Li Sihe, his heart so numb and calm, just walked out the door, letting the heavy snow cover him completely. Amidst the vast expanse of snow, Li Sihe stood still, watching Shen Jinci embrace Bian Yue and head toward the black business car. Bian Yue was still draped in his suit jacket, completely enveloped to the point where her facial expression couldn’t be made out. But Li Sihe saw Bian Yue gripping Shen Jinci’s neck tightly, her posture dependent and clingy. She trusted him so much. Unconditionally, utterly, uniquely... But she was once his own, Bian Yue... Li Sihe only felt a piercing cold wind rushing into his heart, a bloody cavity within, followed by a surge of a blood-tinged scent. He felt so vividly how superfluous his existence was to Bian Yue. Li Sihe didn’t know how to deal with such an answer. He stood silently, his fingers cold from holding the umbrella, the tang of blood in his throat growing stronger, nearly making him unsteady. Until Kang Yu braved the snow to approach him, saying, "Mr. Li, Mr. Shen asked you to take the car in the back, the lady needs to rest, and it’s too cramped for three." The implication of the words was exceedingly harsh. Yet Li Sihe had no strength to argue, his face calm to the point of showing no emotion at all, simply following Kang Yu’s words and sitting in the back. Li Sihe had never been so agreeable before, even he himself had to laugh. The car drove through the desolate expanse of snow. All along the way, Bian Yue wouldn’t close her eyes while in Shen Jinci’s arms. She looked at him with wide-open eyes, and after a long while, she poked his face with her hand, "You’ve gotten thinner." Shen Jinci clasped Bian Yue’s hand in his own, tenderly kissing the back of her hand, his voice excessively hoarse, "Does it look very bad?" Bian Yue shook her head, quite seriously: "How could it? You are the most handsome person in the whole world." Shen Jinci’s eyes were fiercely red, he hugged Bian Yue even tighter, his low voice raspy, "I know, you should rest for a bit." "I don’t want to rest." Bian Yue said: "I just want to look at you , Shen Jinci, how can you be so handsome? Your eyes, nose, and mouth are all so handsome, if our baby takes after you, they will certainly be beautiful." "That’s not good." Shen Jinci said: "They should take after Yueyue; taking after me is no good." Bian Yue frowned, "It’s really good, say it again!" Shen Jinci’s eyes held shards of moisture, he looked at Bian Yue, tears suddenly, without any warning, falling. Bian Yue was so startled that she sat up, "Shen Jinci..." "Bian Yue, it’s really good... if they take after you, that would be really good..." Having said this, he could no longer control the emotions in his heart, and kissed the corner of Bian Yue’s lips. Bian Yue felt the dampness on her cheek, Shen Jinci cradling her face, saying: "Having you by my side is really good..." In the castle manor, the fire in the fireplace burned fiercely. Zhuang Jie Ning had been sitting on the sofa in a daze, looking at Bai Xu in front of her, anger surging in her eyes, "If it weren’t for your meddling, helping Bian Yue, I wouldn’t have ended up this unlucky, becoming a chess piece in Li Sihe’s game!" Her emotions had long been in disarray and collapse, now suppressed to the breaking point, indiscriminately attacking everyone around her. Bai Xu looked at Zhuang Jie Ning indifferently, his eyes cold: "Miss Zhuang, you are currently not Mr. Li’s wife, I really have no obligation to answer your questions." "You are wrong." Zhuang Jie Ning sneered coldly, "Legally, I am now Li Sihe’s deceased wife, if he wants to sever ties with me, he can only come back to life and go with me to get a divorce certificate." Bai Xu looked coldly at Zhuang Jie Ning, not wanting to pay too much attention to her mad ravings. This, however, made Zhuang Jie Ning even more resentful, her sneer intensifying, "How many people do you think will come back today?" "Mr. Li will bring Miss Bian back." "You really overestimate Li Sihe; such a profit-driven person, who could even use and scheme against his own father, do you think he would put himself in a penniless situation for the sake of Bian Yue?" Zhuang Jie Ning sneered disdainfully, "Bai Xu, you have been with the Li Family for so many years, don’t you realize that this time, Li Tingmo is aiming at Li Sihe?" "Miss Bian is different to Mr. Li compared to others," Bai Xu stated calmly. These words, when they reached Zhuang Jie Ning’s ears, were very ironic, "Yes, different. Specifically to Shen Jinci, probably even more different." Zhuang Jie Ning looked at the snow outside the window, looking and looking, until redness welled up in her eyes, she said, "Bai Xu, I am Xiangjiang’s number one socialite." Her voice was so light, but the resentfulness was intense, making it impossible to ignore. And outside the door, there was a tumultuous sound of cars parking. Zhuang Jie Ning, as if awakened from a dream, rushed out of the hall. She stood dazed at the doorway, seeing Shen Jinci carrying Bian Yue, walking in from outside. Suddenly, Zhuang Jie Ning burst out laughing, she laughed lightly, her voice cheery, "Bian Yue, congratulations to you, you’ve escaped death once again!"
