"So... you really plan on keeping this strictly business and not holding back?" Shen Zhaoli took a deep breath, looking at Shen Jinci, and slowly shook his head, "Aren't you being too unsympathetic?"
Shen Zhaoli actually already considered Bian Yue one of his own, and to some extent, he felt that Bian Yue seemed more like family than Shen Jinci did.
He frowned, his tone matter-of-fact, "If Bian Yue wants it, why not just give it to her directly? With Lixing involved, who would dare to trip her up?"
"If she's always protected by me, of course no one would dare to do anything to her, but what if one day, she wants to live independently?"
Shen Zhaoli's brow furrowed deeper, "Are you saying... Bian Yue would leave you?"
The word 'leave' seemed to carry sharp thorns, piercing into Shen Jinci's flesh, and yet he still maintained a calm and composed appearance, seemingly unharmed by these words at all.
