Shang Ruyi immediately understood his meaning and blushed, pulling her hand away from his, muttering, "Being liked by you is really unlucky."
Yu Wenye smiled faintly, "Do you think being my wife is such an easy thing?"
"..."
"Moreover,"
his eyes flickered as he looked at Shang Ruyi, "what you are, is still the daughter-in-law of the Duke Sheng."
These words made Shang Ruyi's heart stir. She suddenly remembered that night when Yu Wenquan discussed important matters with them. After the two left the study, everything was still fine, but Yu Wenye's mention of these words soured her mood.
And it was these words, back then, when he wanted to separate from her, that she, no matter how thick-skinned, would resolutely refuse.
He seemed to have always remembered.
Shang Ruyi instinctively said, "I—"
Yu Wenye asked, "Why?"
"..."
"Why do you have to be Father's daughter-in-law, as if you care more about him than about me?"
