Li Sihe's throat tightened, he chuckled, this time the smile was even more forced, "I thought that by abducting Bian Yue like this, you would pursue me at any cost."
"It's meaningless," Shen Jinci said. "It's not that I don't want to deal with you. From my standpoint, even flaying you a thousand times wouldn't be satisfying, but I can't afford to let Bian Yue suffer even a bit more. Her health can't endure such emotional fluctuations again, and even if I wanted to settle scores after the fact, now is not the time."
"You really do... think of Bian Yue in everything." The words at the end were inevitably stiff.
But Shen Jinci's tone was unrippled, more like a statement: "Neither of us wants any harm to come to Bian Yue's body, right?"
Li Sihe's smile dissolved in Shen Jinci's few words.
He closed his eyes, then reopened them before saying, "Don't worry, I won't do anything now."
