Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 781 - 595: I Will Be There for Every Challenge

Chapter 781: Chapter 595: I Will Be There for Every Challenge

Shang Ruyi was momentarily stunned.

After a while, she subconsciously glanced behind her, not looking outside the carriage, but at the carriage compartment.

In fact, she had noticed as soon as she got on the carriage that while it appeared large and spacious from the outside, it felt more cramped once inside. Clearly, the rear part of the compartment had been sectioned off.

And upon closer inspection, she found several bundles placed inside that partition.

Shen Wuzheng followed her gaze back and said calmly, "I brought some luggage, not much."

"..."

"But it’s enough to leave."

Shang Ruyi couldn’t help but gasp.

She knew that Shen Wuzheng wasn’t saying this to comfort her, to let her know that she still had her maternal family, and this brother she could rely on, to make her feel better. He was actually planning to take her away!

Her heart tightened instantly, and when she spoke, her voice was somewhat hoarse, "Brother..."

Shen Wuzheng looked down at her, calm yet firm, and said, "As long as you agree, no, as long as you wish—"

"..."

"I will take you away."

This was not the first time Shen Wuzheng had said such words to her, and she also understood why in Yanyue City and now here, Shen Wuzheng brought up this matter twice.

After a long silence, she spoke softly, "Brother, I... I don’t want to leave..."

Shen Wuzheng didn’t speak, but his brow furrowed slightly, his gaze fixed on her. Though his heart was still somewhat distressed, facing his gaze, Shang Ruyi remained calm, meeting his eyes steadily.

Yet her calmness only made the furrow in Shen Wuzheng’s brow deepen.

After a while, he said, "You don’t mind?"

"..."

Once again, this question.

Yu Wenye had asked her this more than once before, and she vaguely sensed that the constant entanglement between them seemed to stem from this question.

And now, even Shen Wuzheng was asking.

But she had already given the best possible answer, even now, facing Shen Wuzheng’s serious expression, she calmly and earnestly said, "No."

"..."

Shen Wuzheng’s expression grew more serious, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "You don’t mind other women around Yu Wenye?"

"I don’t mind."

"Then, how do you really feel about Yu Wenye—"

At this point, Shen Wuzheng’s own throat tightened, unable to voice the question. Although they grew up together like siblings, and even though they hadn’t seen each other during his years away studying, their relationship hadn’t diminished. However, no matter how close, he understood that as a brother, some things should not be asked directly.

But there was no need to ask directly, Shang Ruyi immediately understood what he wanted to ask.

Shen Wuzheng thought for a moment and then said, "Back then, you refused to marry Yu Wenqian and chose to remarry him—I never asked you why, because you said he treated you well and accompanied you to Zhanping River Posthouse to rescue father and mother; later, at Wanggang Village when we met again, although you had lost—, and were very frustrated, I could see that you had feelings for him."

"..."

"Ruyi, isn’t that right?"

Shang Ruyi obediently nodded her head.

Although she was shy to speak of matters of the heart, since it was brought up, she was frank, for back then, even before Yu Wenye had feelings for her, she was already infatuated with him, even boldly confessing her feelings to his face, despite rejection and neglect, she never changed her heart.

She knew she still liked him.

Even though now, that fondness inevitably came with hardships, struggles, turbulence, and even pain...

Shen Wuzheng said gravely, "Since that’s the case, how can you not mind?"

"..."

"Today there’s one concubine of King Qin, tomorrow there might be more concubines, wives... Ruyi, how can you not mind?"

Shang Ruyi looked at him, smiling softly and gently, "But this is the path I chose for myself."

Shen Wuzheng’s breath became heavy.

Shang Ruyi smiled, continuing, "Marrying him was my choice."

"..."

"Initially, I hadn’t thought so far ahead, but from the moment I knew Father had taken Chang An City and installed a new emperor, I understood—actually, Brother, you might have realized even earlier that Duke Sheng’s grand plan would succeed one day."

"..."

"That’s why, Brother, you wanted to go to Wanggang Village alone and take that place for them."

"..."

Shen Wuzheng furrowed his brows tightly, saying nothing.
