She was so entranced that Wen Jiao beside her had to cough again and said sincerely, "Bian Yue, gather yourself, we're still here."
Only then did Bian Yue realize what she was doing.
She was terribly embarrassed and cursed her shallow eyelids for being mesmerized by Shen Jinci's beauty!
In her panic, Bian Yue looked up and met the man's gaze; his eyes clearly held a gentle smile, which was enough to dissipate any indifference.
Bian Yue's ears turned red.
"I... I slept very well," she said in a dry voice, obviously trying to steer the conversation elsewhere.
"That's good," Shen Jinci replied, as if he hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary. He gently patted Bian Yue's head, holding back with restrained gentleness, and softly said, "I need to discuss some matters with Shen Zhaoli. You chat with Wen Jiao for now, shall we all have lunch together later?"
"Sure, go ahead with your business," Bian Yue moved closer to Wen Jiao.
