Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 675 - 534: Make His Heart Flutter Again_3

Yu Wenye’s breath sank, and he looked down at her.

Shang Ruyi also widened her eyes, looking at him, and whispered, "Have you forgotten?"

Even if he truly forgot, how could she ever forget?

Before she married him, on the road to her wedding, it was he who suddenly charged out, saving her from the hands of the Dragon Gate Rebel Army; in Yanmen County, amidst a million soldiers, it was he who shot an arrow, breaking the Yanmen siege, saving her and all the soldiers and citizens; and then in Jiangdu Palace...

If it weren’t for his bloody battle, breaking through the encirclement, she would long have been charged with regicide, her head separated from her body, possibly even implicating her family.

But she never felt she owed him.

Not only because she also once risked her life for him, infiltrating Wanggang Village alone, then leading men to set fire to Xiao Yuansui’s provisions; and in Fufeng, when he fell ill, she stayed strong to manage everything, outsmarting Xue Xian.

More because—

As husband and wife, or as two people in love, aren’t they supposed to be entangled and tied together like this?

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi smiled softly, looking at Yu Wenye’s somewhat awkward expression, and whispered, "Husband and wife should not only protect each other and be intertwined but also rely on one another."

"..."

"Moreover, if you don’t rely on me, whom would you rely on!"

These words carried a touch of resentment, yet also seemed like a playful tease, instantly softening Yu Wenye’s originally stone-hard heart.

He once again lowered his head, looking at the petite woman clinging to him, his gaze flickering, finally showing a hint of relief.

He sighed deeply, "You really want to go."

Shang Ruyi nodded heavily.

"..."

Yu Wenye took a deep breath again, finally said, "I can promise you."

Shang Ruyi was overjoyed inside, but before she could say anything, he continued, "But you also must promise me, no matter what happens in the neighborhood, no matter how many people fall ill, how many die, you must protect yourself first!"

Saying this, his expression darkened slightly, "No matter how many people I need to save, no matter how I need to win people’s hearts this time, even if something gets lost it can be regained, but—your life and others’ lives, ultimately are not the same, do you understand!"

"..." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a cold tingle down her back, then that feeling surged into her heart.

It caused her heart to lose its rhythm.

Although Yu Wenye’s words sounded selfish, she didn’t feel even the slightest chill, because she understood well, people are just people; even if they have a heart dedicated to the public, how could there not be some bias in that heart?

In everyone’s eyes isn’t there a special existence?

He is like this to her.

Isn’t she the same to him?

So, for him, even knowing the plague ravages the city, she is willing to take the risk.

Thus, she forcefully nodded, "Mm!"

It wasn’t until this moment that Yu Wenye seemed to finally give up on something, as his shoulders, tense from a day’s toil, relaxed slightly, saying to her, "Then, go ahead."

Shang Ruyi’s face immediately showed a smile.

Seeing her like this, Yu Wenye’s gloomy mood also loosened significantly at this moment, yet he said somewhat helplessly, "You, knowing full well this time you can’t win, yet you fight so hard."

Shang Ruyi let go of his hand, but then looked up at him, blinking, "Not necessarily a lost battle."

"Oh?"

"Feng Chen, do you remember, when you first led me into the military camp in Taiyuan?"

"..."

Yu Wenye was taken aback, his eyes suddenly flickering.

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "At that time, you let me compete in horsemanship and archery against Huang Gongyi, and indeed, I lost—from the beginning, it was impossible to win."

"..."

"However, you later told me that although I lost, because I competed frankly and whole-heartedly, I won the respect of the military."

"..."

"And won your respect."

Saying this, she smiled lightly, looking up at Yu Wenye, "That should be the best victory I’ve achieved in my life so far."

"..."

"So, even if my brother says this is a doomed battle, even if we are just trying to find that person, I still want to give it my all."

"..."

"Perhaps, maybe we can win something unexpected?"

"..."

Yu Wenye looked at her, no longer speaking.

Actually, for someone who is skilled in battling and unfamiliar with epidemic management, handling everything today feels like being constantly hindered, exhausted, but at this moment, the tired heart seems to be struck by something, as if it’s coming back to life.
