CHAPTER 294: CHAPTER 294: HAVING NIGHTMARES

Zhuang Jie Ning finally got to hear Li Sihe’s voice.

It’s him! It’s really him! He’s still alive!

Li Sihe is still alive!

Then what is all this suffering for? Is it just my bad luck?

Why should she endure all this?

Zhuang Jie Ning’s body grew cold as she glared viciously at the back of Li Sihe, letting two bodyguards take her down from the car.

Inside the hall, the door was locked from the outside. Zhuang Jie Ning sat on the cold Marble floor, watching Li Sihe’s slender fingers unveil the mask and naturally remove his cap, revealing that breathtakingly handsome face.

"You lunatic!" Zhuang Jie Ning, for a moment, didn’t know how else to describe the cold rage in her heart. She burst into hysterical laughter, laughing until tears streamed down and her poise was completely gone.

She lay on the floor, tears splashing onto the ground, her temperament of a noble young lady utterly replaced by insanity. She began to murmur, "You are alive, yet you pretended to be dead, just to take revenge on me, Li Sihe, how can there be someone as ruthless and cruel as you in this world!"

Li Sihe looked at Zhuang Jie Ning indifferently, his tone even, "You can rest here for the time being. Once my business is done, I will let you go."

"Your business?" Zhuang Jie Ning mockingly repeated, tears uncontrollably sliding down, "Let me guess, you’ve gone to such lengths to fake your own death, and now you’re risking exposure by coming back to the country, it must be for Bian Yue, right?"

Li Sihe’s face was impassive, staring at the fury in Zhuang Jie Ning’s eyes, he calmly said, "What I do doesn’t need to be explained to you."

"You’ve taken me away in front of everyone, do you think you won’t be discovered?" Zhuang Jie Ning said resentfully, "My father will find out about you soon!"

"The airport has lost an hour of surveillance data. To avoid being held accountable, the relevant departments have already replaced it with backup fake footage. Rest assured, no one will find out you’re missing," Li Sihe spoke coldly, and rose composedly, "Get some rest early."

"Li Sihe!" Zhuang Jie Ning’s tears poured out, "Don’t you have nightmares?"

Li Sihe looked down on her from above, his expression unflinchingly calm, "Why would I have nightmares?"

"That was a living life! Even if he wasn’t your child, wasn’t he still a child of the Li Family? You just mercilessly killed him!"

Zhuang Jie Ning’s voice was hoarse as she struggled to stand up and approached Li Sihe, "There might be a lot of hatred between us, but the child is innocent, how could you bear to do it?"

"Zhuang Jie Ning, that wasn’t a child, it was your bargaining chip to scheme against me." Li Sihe said coldly: "He could not live."

Zhuang Jie Ning felt an icy chill in her chest.

This man seemed gentle and harmless, but in reality, he had a heart of solid iron.

"Bargaining chip? Li Sihe, have you forgotten? I too once thought of living a good life with you, it was you who refused me first, you rather chased after Bian Yue who had no hope for you than be with me."

Zhuang Jie Ning sneered with trembling lips, "You clearly knew, I didn’t care whether you loved me or not, I only wanted a mutually beneficial marriage. It was you! You refused to give it to me first! But I needed a child to stabilize my position away from home, ultimately, you wronged me!"

While laughing, Zhuang Jie Ning, amid Li Sihe’s indifferent gaze and with tears streaming down, choked out, "It’s your fault, it’s you who made me lose everything..."

Li Sihe watched Zhuang Jie Ning’s crying and laughing figure, withdrew his indifferent gaze without even a word of explanation, and turned to leave.

Zhuang Jie Ning watched him walk away, with despair already in her heart, now further enveloped by coldness. She closed her eyes, letting tears fall, choking back sobs, "Li Sihe! You will get your retribution!"

The man’s steps faltered for a moment, but then he walked on with ease, never looking back.

And Zhuang Jie Ning slumped back onto the ground, as if all her strength had been drained, her eyes devoid of any life.

No one knew the depth of her despair, like an unstoppable tide, it had already overwhelmed her...

Bian Yue woke up early the next day.

Her morning sickness was quite severe, and it was at these moments she truly felt that she was carrying a child inside her.

Bian Yue leaned over the washbasin, slowly straightening up to see Shen Jinci looking at her with a pained expression.

He held a glass of water, in pajamas, and apparently in such a hurry that he hadn’t even put on his shoes, standing somewhat awkwardly beside her.

How would Bian Yue have ever thought that one day she would see Shen Jinci like this.

"Does it feel very bad?" Shen Jinci passed her the glass of water, his voice tinged with worry and tension, "It’s hot water I just poured, drink some more."

"I don’t want to drink water." Bian Yue looked at him, amused, saying, "How come you look even paler than me?"

Seeing her in the mood to joke, Shen Jinci’s lips curved into a faint smile, his voice relaxing a bit as he said, "Because I’m very worried about you."

"It’s just morning sickness, all pregnant women go through it." Bian Yue said, "Actually, our baby is already very well-behaved, look how quiet she usually is."

Shen Jinci followed Bian Yue’s words, looking towards her flat belly.

His hand slowly lifted, gently caressing Bian Yue’s abdomen, his voice becoming even softer, "You have to be good, don’t make your mom suffer anymore."

Bian Yue’s smile deepened, teasing him, "But she’s still so little, she probably can’t understand what you’re saying."

Shen Jinci pursed his lips, seriously saying, "Understood, I’ll think of a way, see if I can communicate with her through mind."

Bian Yue asked how he planned to communicate through mind.

Shen Jinci said, "When Yueyue sleeps at night holding me, I can enter your dreams, maybe I could find this little troublemaker."

Bian Yue couldn’t help but laugh even louder.

Lixing Group, Shen Jian’s office.

Shen Shiniang sat on the sofa, angrily slamming the cup on the table, "Shen Jinci is really ruthless, making me wait so long before allowing me to return, I’m his uncle after all!"

Shen Jian had already suffered a lot at the board meetings, knowing well that Shen Jinci was not an easy person to deal with, and that Shen Zhaoli was not someone to be taken lightly either.

These days had been a headache for him, and now seeing Shen Shiniang like this, it made his own head pound. He couldn’t help but say, "Brother, just hold back your words, being able to come back safely is already a blessing, don’t provoke them anymore!"

Shen Shiniang’s expression shifted slightly. Clearly remembering past events, his fiery demeanor instantly died down as he feigned composure, "Just the two of us here, what’s wrong with saying a few words? Moreover, I’ve already found a way to teach Shen Jinci a lesson!"

Shen Jian frowned, looking at Shen Shiniang puzzled, "Brother, what do you mean by that?"
