Chapter 22: Memories Like a Blade
Bian Yue couldn’t help but laugh, her lightly made-up face even more captivating than the rare sunshine of the day.
She said, "Mr. Shen, you know how to cheer up a girl so well, yet you’ve been single for so long, it’s really strange!"
Shen Jinci’s smile slightly diminished, and he said lightly, "Bian Yue, I don’t flatter people; I prefer to speak straightforwardly."
Bian Yue felt that Shen Jinci’s words were really provocative, but she quickly reminded herself not to take it to heart, as this man’s days were numbered. She feared the eventual heartbreak of a permanent departure, a pain as intense as war.
So, Bian Yue pretended not to understand and picked up her lipstick again, carefully applying it.
Getting the marriage certificate was easier than Bian Yue had anticipated.
This ceremony, laying the foundation for a lifetime between two people, could be concluded in just about ten minutes, how dreamlike.
Bian Yue held the marriage certificate, staring blankly at the photo on it.
When taking the photo, she hadn’t noticed, but now she realized that today Shen Jinci was in a formal black suit, while she was in a white dress, which matched perfectly.
His eyes and brows held a faint smile, capable of giving the illusion that he was pleased. Bian Yue had seen Shen Jinci’s face in financial newspapers, always aloof and indifferent.
