Chapter 214: Journey’s End
Bian Yue checked her items with satisfaction, and picked up the red plastic hard lighter. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked in surprise, "By the way, you haven’t told me yet, how did this lighter come about?"
Her eyes were filled with curiosity. Shen Jinci lightly flicked her nose, his tone lazy and his smile light, "Want to know?"
"Yes, I do." Bian Yue pushed Shen Jinci’s arm, drawing out her words with urgency, "What are you keeping secret? Hurry up and tell me."
"It’s not that I’m keeping secrets, it’s just that, for the moment, I don’t know how to explain it." Shen Jinci pulled Bian Yue into his embrace, kissed her hair gently, and slowly said, "If I told you, you probably wouldn’t believe it."
"Tell me." Bian Yue wasn’t usually very curious, but once her curiosity was piqued, she became restless and her voice grew anxious, "You go first, afterwards I’ll tell you whether I believe it or not."
"It was back then..."
Shen Jinci’s unhurried voice pulled Bian Yue’s thoughts back to Xiangjiang from a long time ago.
It was the rainy season, damp and moist. At 23, Shen Jinci had just taken over the complex operations of Lixing Group. He was always rushing around, his youth commanding the respect of all the elders in the Shen Family.
That day, there was an unplanned meeting, and Shen Jinci rushed to the airport where he encountered Bian Yue.
Xiangjiang International Airport was bustling with people.
Shen Jinci saw Bian Yue standing at the security checkpoint, taking a lighter out of her pocket and putting it into the recycling bin.
Impulsively, he had someone retrieve the lighter for him.
