Chapter 122: Chapter 122 Quiet Affection

Meng Chuyue’s face was composed as she seriously replied, "That day... Aunt saved me, but I couldn’t save her. I can only join you in seeking revenge for her."

Meng Chuyue felt somewhat guilty about Qin Weilan’s death.

She didn’t remember the cause of Qin Weilan’s death in her past life, only that she also died that year.

She had painstakingly recalled the details of that day, realizing that even if she hadn’t been there, Qin Weilan couldn’t have escaped the pursuit of those people; judging by the killer’s efficiency, the likelihood of them sparing Qin Weilan once they caught her... was very small.

But she did indeed affect the timing of Qin Weilan’s escape...

She couldn’t help but wonder if Qin Weilan might have had a chance to survive if Meng Chuyue hadn’t appeared and Qin Weilan hadn’t kindly saved her...

Partly due to this guilt, and also because she indeed felt a special affection for Shen Ci, she decided to join Shen Ci in seeking revenge for Qin Weilan.

It was also to prevent Shen Ci from doing anything drastic.

...

"Just for this reason?" Shen Ci spoke with an indescribable sense of loss and a twinge of heartache.

Meng Chuyue gazed at his emaciated yet more radiant face, pulled him to sit beside her, and looking into his eyes, said, "Otherwise?"

Shen Ci met her gaze for a moment, then leaned back against the sofa with his eyes closed and spoke softly, "You... how do you plan to help me?"

Shen Ci was very conflicted in his heart.

Meng Chuyue had no extra feelings for him, and his situation was dire; he should not cling on to her.

Yet he truly liked her...

If he let go now, he would surely lose her forever.

On the other hand, by taking advantage of this opportunity to selfishly keep her by his side, the likelihood of having her was much greater...

How should he choose?

It was a difficult decision.

...

Meng Chuyue had just wanted to answer Shen Ci with "Also because I like you."

But having never been in love in either her past or current life, she felt a bit shy and subconsciously reserved herself.

She inwardly resolved that if Shen Ci said something similar again, she would be braver. Unexpectedly, he suddenly changed the subject.

She felt a bit disappointed, but thinking that there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, she calmly replied, "Make their family go bankrupt."

Shen Ci scoffed, "Is that so easy?"

It had always been his wish, but unfortunately, he never knew how to begin.

Before Shen Ci’s scoff, she added, "With the right strategy... in five years, we can do it."

Meng Chuyue said this with a guilty conscience, as in truth, Shen Ci had caused the Shen Family to go bankrupt in just three years in her past life.

Shen Ci, "..."

Five years? Five years seemed long, but... if she stayed with him, it didn’t matter if it was longer.

Moved by Meng Chuyue’s words, Shen Ci finally made up his mind to selfishly keep her by his side.

But until he became stronger, he would quietly cherish his feelings for her so the Shen Family wouldn’t target her.

Having made this decision, he appeared more relaxed. Containing his sorrow, he asked gently, "Tell me your thoughts."

Meng Chuyue’s eyes brightened, "Okay."

She then shared with Shen Ci many strategies for toppling the Shen Family’s enterprise.

Her insights stemmed from the essence of business warfare years in the future, which Shen Ci found captivating. He didn’t rush to express his opinions, instead requesting Meng Chuyue to cook him a bowl of noodles.

Knowing he hadn’t eaten properly these past few days, Meng Chuyue quickly used the refrigerator stock to make him a big bowl of shredded pork noodles along with a serving of egg custard.

The eggs were from her Space, and the noodles were also boiled using Space Water.

After tasting the food she had prepared, Shen Ci’s resolve to selfishly keep her grew even firmer.

Meng Chuyue, it’s not that I can’t let you go, it’s that you keep provoking me, so don’t blame me for being selfish.

But I promise to treat you very, very well in the future, even better than I treat myself.
