Chapter 103: Growing Flesh and Blood
Li Sihe gave a desolate smile, his hand clenched into a fist. The blood in his IV needle flowed backwards, but he couldn’t care less, his voice chilled, "You sit at the highest position in the Shen Family; you cannot shirk your responsibilities, nor betray your clan. For you, Bian Yue’s existence is merely icing on the cake."
"But Bian Yue is naive, and she doesn’t know how to be the wife of a top family. Sooner or later, you’ll grow tired of her innocence and simplicity. Shen Jinci, we are both men, and I don’t believe anyone’s love can last forever."
Li Sihe paused, then continued, "But now, Bian Yue already possesses everything of the Bian Family. I am confident that I can let her live carefree for the rest of her life, and no matter who she wants to be with in the future, I will never rudely interfere. I know I can’t give her the fulfillment she desires, but in the end, Shen Jinci, you and I are the same. Neither of us can give her that. We aren’t suited for Bian Yue."
Shen Jinci calmly listened to Li Sihe’s words. Indeed, the man spoke with enough calmness and rationality.
People like them weren’t suited for Bian Yue. If this were a fairy tale, the little princess would of course be suited for a gentle and virtuous prince charming.
But like Li Sihe, when all is said and done, they’re both heartless businessmen.
Specifically, standing at the pinnacle of all life, looking down from above for so long, their heartlessness only grew.
Li Sihe’s concerns were not without reason.
"I understand what you mean. You think that now I’m fond of Bian Yue, that I’d do everything for her, but this doesn’t mean I’ll love her forever. People’s hearts change easily, especially men’s love. It’s the most unreliable thing, right?"
Shen Jinci’s fingertips grazed the grinding wheel, the flames jumping. He looked intently, asking casually.
