CHAPTER 310: CHAPTER 310: EVEN IF IT’S JUST AN ACT

Li Sihe for a moment, felt somewhat helpless.

He smiled slightly and said softly, "Yueyue, saying such things won’t anger me."

"I’m just answering," Bian Yue replied calmly.

"Alright, I got it." Li Sihe paused, then continued, "After the meal, shall I take you somewhere?"

Bian Yue looked up at him, her eyes full of tiredness, "What are you planning now?"

"Nothing much, just want to take you out for a walk, don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you." Li Sihe’s smile faded a bit, and he said, "Bian Yue, I admit my methods were unsavory, but... I can’t bring myself to hurt you, you should know, I can’t bear to."

Bian Yue did not respond.

She calmly continued eating, her demeanor distant.

Li Sihe didn’t mind, he continued, "Take your time eating, we’ll set off after you’re done."

Bian Yue knew, this was just to inform her.

He was determined to take her out with him, not giving her any chance to refuse.

So, Bian Yue didn’t bother to argue, she coldly continued eating and said nothing more.

After the meal, Li Sihe took Bian Yue out of the house for the first time.

It was snowing outside, big snowflakes falling heavily, an endless expanse of pure white, almost blinding.

Bian Yue felt Li Sihe drape a thick blanket over her shoulders.

"It’s cold outside, we must keep warm." Li Sihe’s tone was considerate, "With your current health, you can’t afford any mishaps."

Bian Yue didn’t act rashly, knowing what mattered most, as Li Sihe had said, her health couldn’t be compromised.

"Wait here for me, I’ll bring the car around." Li Sihe’s eyes curved into a gentle smile, "Don’t wander off, there’s no one around here."

Bian Yue didn’t need his reminder; the moment she stepped out the door, she understood why Li Sihe dared to take her out. Indeed, there was no third person around.

The vast manor had just the two of them.

Bian Yue tightened the thin blanket around herself. She stood still, and soon, a black SUV pulled up in front of her.

Li Sihe got out and opened the passenger door for her.

When Bian Yue got into the car, he stood behind her, carefully assisting her.

Along the way, the landscape was blanketed in white snow. Bian Yue leaned back in her seat, lazily watching the snow outside, her expression listless.

"Is the place we’re going far?"

"Not far, the doctor said you can’t exert yourself too much." Li Sihe slowly said, "It will be a blizzard in a few days, and then we won’t be able to get out."

Bian Yue chuckled, "So, you taking me out now, you thought of everything."

Her tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

Li Sihe heard it, but he pretended not to, just smiling and saying, "Do you remember, you once went to the Mainland and when you came back you told me we should go see the snow there together someday."

It felt like a lifetime ago. Those earnest promises made back then, Bian Yue never looked back at them.

She closed her eyes, her expression distant, devoid of emotion, "It’s been too long, I don’t remember."

Li Sihe’s hand tightened on the steering wheel as he lightly said with a smile, "It doesn’t matter, as long as I remember."

Bian Yue frowned, remaining silent.

The car stopped at the foot of a mountain.

Li Sihe slowed the vehicle and began to ascend the mountain road slowly.

Bian Yue felt a bit sick, the car had just reached a third of the way when she couldn’t hold back from retching and hoarsely said, "Stop the car."

Li Sihe anxiously looked at her and parked the car by the roadside.

Bian Yue pushed open the door and ran to the roadside, vomiting.

Li Sihe, holding a water bottle, anxiously watched her and asked what he could do to make her feel better.

Bian Yue took the water bottle, rinsed her mouth, and said with a pale face, "Li Sihe, why bother making it hard on yourself, you’re not cut out for looking after others."

After saying this, she didn’t wait for Li Sihe to respond and got back into the car.

Li Sihe stood by the roadside, the piercing cold snowflakes landing on his face, his eyes and brows seeming to darken. After a while, he forced a small smile and got into the car.

Bian Yue was dozing off.

Li Sihe gazed at her profile for a long time before he lowered his head and carefully took a ring from his pocket, gently placing it on Bian Yue’s ring finger.

His movements were very gentle, yet Bian Yue still woke up, panicked and clearly shocked, "What are you doing?"

Li Sihe pursed his lips, "If you’re not feeling well, we can go back."

Bian Yue looked down and saw the ring that had appeared on her finger.

She immediately tried to remove it, but Li Sihe already knew her intentions. He held her hand tightly, "Keep it on."

"Li Sihe, I’m already married!"

"I know, you don’t need to keep emphasizing this to me."

Bian Yue tried to pull her hand back, but Li Sihe’s grip was too firm and it was in vain.

She scoffed sarcastically, "Then what’s the point of all this now? I don’t know where you originally intended to take me, whether you wanted to make amends or cheer me up, but in the end, these things only moved you! Li Sihe, I’m no longer the Bian Yue who solely wanted to be with you, the timing is wrong now, everything you do is wrong."

Li Sihe instinctively tightened his grip until he saw her wince in pain, which jolted him back to reality slightly loosening his grip, he bit his lip, said solemnly, "I know! Bian Yue, I know the timing is wrong, but I still want you to understand, I am genuinely changing for you, I want to start over with you."

His hand covering the back of Bian Yue’s was ice-cold, and in his eyes, she saw a trace of despair.

Bian Yue rest her gaze calmly, "You refuse to give me my phone, at least return my ring. Li Sihe, I already have a wedding ring. You hiding it and giving me another that I don’t want will only make me resent you more."

The word "resentment" was heavily pronounced.

Li Sihe wouldn’t let go, staring at Bian Yue, he spoke calmly, "Shen Jinci will be here soon. Bian Yue, my time is running out, it’s only a few days, can’t you just pretend, pretend for me?"

"I can’t." Bian Yue’s voice was cold, "Not even for a minute."

The two of them remained in a stalemate, the atmosphere inside the car completely chilled.

Finally, it was Li Sihe who compromised, releasing Bian Yue’s hand. He watched as she, without a moment’s hesitation, removed the ring and placed it between them, "Keep your things to yourself."

The place they intended to visit was never reached. Li Sihe knew, not just today, perhaps in the future, there would never be another chance.
