After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash-Chapter 311: The Stirring of Feelings and Intentions
The place I wanted to go to, in the end, was never reached. Li Sihe knew, not just for today, but perhaps for the future, there might never be another chance.
Both of them remained silent all the way back.
The atmosphere was even more deathly still than on the way here.
Li Sihe’s face was pale, his driving steady, more cautious than before.
Bian Yue looked out the window, the trees lining the path, heavy with frost and snow, were unrecognizable, the remote farms devoid of even a hint of life. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Bian Yue thought, Li Sihe really left no stone unturned.
In such a place, even if Shen Jinci found her, it would be quite troublesome to take her away.
The snow became heavier in the night, Bian Yue lay in the bedroom dozing off. When Li Sihe entered, he brought warm porridge in his hands.
He placed the porridge in front of Bian Yue, squatted down, an expression of concern on his face, "Even if you’re angry with me, there’s no need to joke with your health, right?"
Bian Yue opened her eyes and saw the man in front of her with a gentle smile.
"It’s my first time cooking porridge, I’m not sure if it suits your taste, but you should eat more to have the strength to protect your child, right?"
Bian Yue looked at Li Sihe’s sincere face, took the porridge from his hands, and drank it without saying a word.
"Do you want to eat anything else?"
"No, thanks."
Li Sihe’s smile slightly faded, "Then get some rest early."
Bian Yue saw him stand up, seemingly intending to leave for real, she spoke again, her voice even calmer, "I can’t stay here forever, I want to leave."
She still refused to give up.
Between the two of them, even to this day, only the words ’leave’ can be a topic of sparse conversation.
How could it not be considered another form of tragedy.
Li Sihe looked at the empty porridge bowl in his hand, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and said softly, "Originally, I was really sick, Bian Yue, you say I used my own death as a scheme, I admit, I did just that, but at that time, I had no other choice."
His tone was suppressed, hoarse, "When I learned about my illness, I really thought I was dying. It is only in that state, does a person truly realize what they care about. I sacrificed so much for the Li Family, not just myself, I sacrificed you too, but Bian Yue, when I was in a desperate situation, all I felt was regret. At that time, I even couldn’t convince myself what all these years of hard work were for. At the end, I gained nothing."
Bian Yue slightly lifted her brow, watching Li Sihe’s back. He was turned away from her, the light falling on his figure, just like many moments from years past, she too watched his back.
But her state of mind was already no longer the same as before.
Bian Yue silently gazed at him, her eyes and brows revealing an emotionless demeanor.
Li Sihe still didn’t turn around, it seemed that he could only say these words with his back to Bian Yue.
He paused, then continued in the quiet room, "So, I wanted to gamble once, gamble for a chance to start over. To survive, I tried many ways. Those drugs caused adverse reactions in my body, numerous times, I felt worse than dead, the doctors even told me that this way, I might only be hastening my death."
"Bian Yue, everyone was persuading me not to waste my efforts, to die peacefully, even my father had already planned the Li Family’s successor, he let Zhuang Jie Ning conceive a child with a distant branch of the Li Family, he never cared for my feelings from beginning to end. The most unbearable days, I endured alone. I only had one thought, if I lived, I would come back to you."
As Li Sihe got to this point, he finally turned slowly, looking at Bian Yue.
His eyes held a crescent of red, desolation and vulnerability clearly visible, he gave a self-mocking laugh, his voice trembling, "I was unscrupulous, I schemed and plotted, to keep you by my side, I’ve planned for so long, but now, you won’t even grant me a smile, Bian Yue, back when the Bian Family fell, you were desperate, hopeless, yet you still could smile at me. Why is it that now, you’ve become so determined?"
Bian Yue frowned; after a long silence, she finally spoke, her voice weightless, "Because the 16-year-old Bian Yue truly believed you could take her out of desperation, but now, the desperation I’m in is given by you. Li Sihe, one cannot be so selfish, you want and go to great lengths to get, but what about what I want? Is it natural for it to be trampled under your feet?"
Li Sihe listened to Bian Yue’s words, his grip on the porcelain bowl grew tighter and tighter, the green porcelain shattered in his hand, fragments embedding into his flesh, blood dripping steadily.
Bian Yue watched silently, not uttering a word.
Li Sihe sneered, turned and left, his retreat carrying a trace of fluster.
This round of open-heartedness ended, ultimately, in failure.
A man as proud as Li Sihe, confronted with such cold words from Bian Yue, how could he not be disturbed.
Perhaps his heart was already in extreme pain.
But he did not show it on the surface, only a detached look.
Bian Yue heard the sound of the door closing.
It was as if she realized something and got up to go over. At the moment she twisted the doorknob, it was as expected, immovable.
Li Sihe had trapped her in this room, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would keep her confined.
But Bian Yue remained calm, she finally understood why Li Sihe had said those words to her.
He was betting she would soften, even if just a little, he would accept it, and continue to find ways to make her accept him.
But her attitude was so decisive.
Li Sihe finally understood, Bian Yue would not look back, her refusal was unambiguous, without a trace of softening.
Therefore, his methods had suddenly become harsh.
Bian Yue was not one to sit idly by, in this moment, she became even calmer.
She stepped back, and the next moment, her gaze fell on the bedsheet.
When Bian Yue returned today, she had purposefully remembered where the car was parked, not far from here. She thought that even without any communication tools, at least she could leave first.
Bian Yue had known Li Sihe for so many years, she dared not claim to have completely seen through him, but she also knew, even now, due to his feelings for her, he could momentarily refrain from harming the child.
But over time, he would one day contemplate, and not let her child off.
The calm in Bian Yue’s eyes gradually turned into determination.
She thought, she couldn’t keep waiting for Shen Jinci to appear, she must save herself.
The escape plan progressed exceptionally smoothly, the moment Bian Yue got into the car, she still felt an unreal sense of astonishment.
The next moment, she did not delay any longer, resolutely started the car, and headed out of the castle...
