Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 782 - 595: I Will Be There for Every Challenge_2
Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and continued: "Since back then, we all anticipated he could ascend to power, then what kind of person would his son and daughter-in-law be? How could I, being in the midst of it all, not think about it?"
"..."
"How could I not figure it out?"
"..."
"At that time, Brother already said he wanted to take me away, you must have thought about it too, right? If I really couldn’t accept it, I would have left back then."
"..."
"Since I didn’t leave then, now, it’s even less likely that I will."
"..."
"Because,"
At this point, she looked up at Shen Wuzheng and smiled: "this path is what I chose myself!"
At this, her own breath couldn’t help but weaken, and finally, under Shen Wuzheng’s deep yet gentle gaze, it was as if she was defeated, unable to say the words that followed.
And Shen Wuzheng’s brows slowly relaxed.
However, his eyes held more understanding and heartache.
He said, "So, it’s not that you don’t mind."
"..."
"You have convinced yourself not to mind. Isn’t that right?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi lowered her head, not answering this question. In fact, with Shen Wuzheng’s sharp insight, to utter such an answer meant he had already completely seen through her thoughts. Only after a long silence, and even the long sigh of her brother beside her, did she raise her head again, smiling: "Brother, I say I don’t mind because I chose this."
"..."
"I chose not only this path but also him."
"...!"
Shen Wuzheng took a deep breath, even his pupils shook.
This sentence was still ambiguous, but for a woman, it already expressed too clearly the feelings she couldn’t utter.
She likes Yu Wenye.
Even after marriage, despite enduring hardships, and even having once felt disappointed in this relationship, Yu Wenye had never let her down. Even if their relationship experienced challenges and will face many further difficulties, what she likes is this man with grand ambitions, wise strategies, and a mind filled with universe conundrums, swallowing the ambitions of heaven and earth.
Yu Wenye is already King Qin and may ascend to even higher positions in the future.
This destined, it’s impossible for her to be his only woman.
Emotionally, she cannot accept it, but due to responsibility and future expectations, she must accept it because she has never been a woman controlled solely by emotions.
"..."
Looking at her expression that, while somewhat broken, was also gentle enough to seem to embrace everything, Shen Wuzheng remained silent for a long time. When he finally spoke again, it was not to Shang Ruyi, but he leisured, "Ah Er, let’s return to the residence."
Outside, the coachman immediately responded.
Subsequently, Shang Ruyi felt their carriage make a turn onto a slightly smoother, broader road, the carriage shook less than it had earlier.
And so—
She instantly came back to reality but didn’t know whether she should take a relieved breath or feel even happier, after all, not every brother in this world would give up everything for their younger sister. Shen Wuzheng was knowledgeable and eloquent, but his words to her were never flattering, they were merely true.
Shang Ruyi looked up and met Shen Wuzheng’s gaze that had completely calmed down. He said: "Little sister, the path you chose will be very difficult, since you chose it, I will accompany you walking forward."
"..."
"I may not be able to help you through every difficulty, but in each difficulty, I will be there."
"..."
Upon hearing these words, a smile appeared on Shang Ruyi’s face.
Though she still felt sorrow and knew the road ahead was not easy, Shen Wuzheng’s words cleared all the gloom from her mind at that moment.
"Brother,"
She spoke, her voice slightly trembling, a multitude of emotions seemed to surge within her chest. Yet because of such happiness, she couldn’t utter a single word. Ultimately, she just gently leaned her head against the shoulder of this brother who was always gentle to her, providing the strongest support and shelter, softly said, "You are so good to me."
Shen Wuzheng chuckled lightly.
Like when they were young, he simply reached out and gently patted his little sister’s shoulder, teasingly said: "If I’m not good to you, who else would I be good to?"
Shang Ruyi’s laughter became even more joyous.
In her heart, she held a deeper concern for not wanting to leave, and most importantly, it was still her uncle and aunt, and this brother who would risk everything for her. To her, they were the most important people, irreplaceable. If she, as Princess Qin, just left like that, abandoning her uncle and aunt, wouldn’t that be a crime?
