After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash-Chapter 196: What You Want
Chapter 196: Chapter 196: What You Want
Bian Yue said that, and laughed as well, "As long as both parties haven’t signed, everything is unknown, isn’t it?"
Shen Zhaoli nodded, picking up the contract on the table, "Yes, without a signature, there is no agreement. Honey can naturally have other options."
After speaking, Shen Zhaoli did not delay any longer and stood up to leave.
As he was leaving, Shen Zhaoli looked at an indignant Wen Jiao and said with a smile, "The cooperation between Lixing and Honey will be communicated by me in the future, Miss Wen, don’t brew black coffee next time, I prefer latte."
"What a dummy! Loser!" Wen Jiao was so angry that she cursed.
Bian Yue remained silent until Shen Zhaoli had left.
Wen Jiao looked at Bian Yue, whose face was calm but whose thoughts were unknown, and was somewhat worried, "Bian Yue... are you okay? Why aren’t you speaking?"
"Wen Jiao... I suddenly feel like what just happened wasn’t real." Bian Yue’s voice was very light.
"Why?" Wen Jiao gently patted her back, "Bian Yue, you did really well just now."
"I just... I just wasn’t really mentally prepared for a purely business talk with Shen Jinci..." Bian Yue paused, whispering, "But... what I did just now felt quite good."
"Bian Yue, you don’t need to feel any pressure. Lixing wasn’t soft, either. If you really can’t reach a deal, why don’t you just cooperate with Lu Zhonian."
"No." Bian Yue’s expression slowly returned to calm, her gaze resolute, she softly said, "I want to secure the cooperation with Lu Zhonian, and I want to secure that with Lixing too. I don’t just want to secure them; I want the board of Lixing to wholeheartedly let me win."
Wen Jiao has known Bian Yue for many years, watching her transform from a fragile girl into someone with firm eyes and clear goals, if she said her heart wasn’t touched, it would certainly be a lie.
She indeed felt that Bian Yue had changed a lot during this period.
Therefore, Wen Jiao, influenced by her emotions, affirmed seriously, "Bian Yue, I’ll follow your lead!"
In the afternoon, Bian Yue had a quick meal, watched the new dance routine of Meng Qi and Ah Si, then went straight home. freёwebnoѵel.com
In front of Wen Jiao, her composure was somewhat fabricated.
In fact, her mood was not calm.
How could it be calm? The decision-maker on the other side was her own husband.
Bian Yue was not yet invulnerable to that extent.
Shen Jinci had also returned home early, and when Bian Yue saw him, her gaze slightly hesitated.
The two sat on the couch, silent for a while.
The man was still dressed in a black suit, elegantly handsome, his brows and eyes nobly cold.
With a calm demeanor, he looked at Bian Yue’s somewhat pale face, as if nothing had happened, and asked softly, "What’s wrong? Are you very tired today?"
Bian Yue’s eyelashes trembled slightly, she looked up dazedly at him, her voice slightly hoarse, "Not tired, Shen Jinci... have you read through the cooperation document with Lixing?"
"I have." Shen Jinci said, noting a flash of disappointment on Bian Yue’s face.
"That’s good, I thought you hadn’t seen it." Bian Yue forced a calm smile.
Shen Jinci’s eyes deepened, he continued in an even clearer tone, "Come here."
Bian Yue bit her lip, "I’m tired, I don’t want to move."
"Yueyue, come here." Shen Jinci’s voice took on a slightly warmer hue, he said, "Are you angry?"
Bian Yue was reluctant to admit that she was angry.
So, after a slight hesitation, she stood up and walked over to Shen Jinci.
Shen Jinci did not speak, he quietly took her hand and pulled her into his arms.
His movements were clearly gentle, but paradoxically there was an indescribable sense of control, leaving Bian Yue with no room to resist.
She sat stiffly in his arms, her expression tense, and said softly, "What are you doing..."
"I had Shen Zhaoli deliver this cooperation document to you, guessing it would upset you. Are you wondering why I suddenly started handling things formally?"
Bian Yue was caught off-guard by his words, her face growing more uncomfortable, yet she still murmured, "I understand, you did the right thing, I... shouldn’t have thought you would pave the way for me."
"Bian Yue, I can do many things for you, including paving the way, but I chose not to because I know you can handle it well yourself."
Shen Jinci held Bian Yue a bit tighter, his voice low and moving, blending with the quiet evening and the twilight outside, a kind of harmonious gentleness.
Bian Yue thought, no one in this world except herself would associate Shen Jinci with gentleness.
Bian Yue heard him say, "So, I will not show any favoritism, you can try to find your own limits, and making mistakes is okay."
"If there are mistakes, you won’t just stand by, will you?" Bian Yue smiled, the knots in her heart slightly unraveling, she said, "If I make a mess, you will... you will bring me home."
"Yes." His answer was without a moment’s hesitation, but soon after, he seriously gazed at Bian Yue, restraining the playfulness in his words, and said earnestly, "But I believe I can wait for Yueyue to stand by my side, right?"
Bian Yue smiled, and after a moment, she said yes.
It seemed this matter was lightly overturned.
Bian Yue thought, was this her seeking benevolence and receiving it?
Perhaps to a certain extent, it was.
The next morning arrived as promised, with the sunshine.
Shen Jinci prepared breakfast, watching as Bian Yue nibbled on bread, his eyes bearing a gentle smile.
The young girl still hadn’t fully woken up, her way of eating indescribably cute.
Groggy and adorable.
Thus, Shen Jinci’s eyes tender, his voice clear and low, he asked, "Yueyue, for your birthday this year, shall I throw a birthday party for you?"
Bian Yue paused, put down her bread, sipped her milk slowly, and after a moment of contemplation, she said, "A birthday party? Wouldn’t that be too troublesome?"
"With"Shengshi Yan" about to be released, and Honey dealing with cooperation matters, I thought you probably won’t have much mind to leave Xiangjiang, so I planned a birthday party."
Shen Jinci filled Bian Yue’s glass with milk, saying, "At that time, not only can you celebrate your birthday, but also meet some people from the industry, it would be a win-win."
Bian Yue was quite surprised.
She said, "I thought you would take me..."
"I thought so," Shen Jinci interrupted Bian Yue softly, his eyes’ mirth thinning, soberly and calmly he stated, "But that’s not what you need right now, is it? Yueyue, I shouldn’t just give you what I want to give you, I should think about what you need."
When Bian Yue was a girl, she once asked her mother, Bi Yaxian, how to be sure a man loves you.
