Chapter 89 Phoenix
Lei Yu's face immediately darkened.
A cool breeze was blowing, but Shang Ruyi felt her cheeks getting slightly hot. She didn't say a word, just followed him and walked slowly forward.
Yuwen Ye's friends all chuckled to themselves.
Pei Xingyuan laughed and said, "Fengchen, you used to say that you had no interest in love and that you would not start a family until you achieved great things. Now look, weren't you speaking too soon?"
"I have seen loving couples, but I have never seen couples like you, inseparable for even a moment."
"They're so inseparable, it makes me want to get married too..."
Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at him.
Yuwen Ye's face remained indifferent, only revealing a hint of a smile when he met Pei Xingyuan's gaze. He said, "You all talk too much."
Everyone chatted and laughed as they continued walking.
However, Shang Ruyi's heart was unconsciously thrown into turmoil by the gentle night breeze.
It turns out that he used to think this way—he wasn't interested in love and romance, and was only focused on building his career.
It is good for a man to have such a mindset. If he indulges in love all day long and has no ambition, then he is like a spineless chicken. Shang Ruyi followed her father since childhood and witnessed people's struggles, efforts, and even bloodshed and death for their ideals and careers. She even looked down on men who only knew how to linger among women.
But is Yuwen Ye really completely uninterested in love?
It seems that he feels this way about himself, at least.
But what about the others?
For example, what about the person he was previously engaged to? Did he also think the same way—that he wouldn't settle down until he achieved great things?
Then why did you accept being married?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up at that indifferent, cold face in the night, wanting to ask him—really?
Seemingly sensing her gaze, Yuwen Ye looked down at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
The thought flashed through her mind for a moment, but she quickly suppressed it. Even without asking, she could imagine what answer she would get.
It's none of your business.
Even though they were in front of outsiders, Yuwen Ye might not embarrass her, and their relationship had recently become much closer. However, this closeness always gave her a feeling of being on the verge of collapse, and she didn't want to break it easily again.
Then he changed his mind and asked, "Do you have a nickname?"
"Um?"
Yuwen Ye was probably taken aback when she suddenly asked such a question.
Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "Young Master Pei called out so many people's nicknames just now, but he didn't call you one. Do you have a nickname?"
Yuwen Ye paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."
Shang Ruyi immediately became interested: "What is it?"
"..."
He remained silent for a while, then raised his head and walked forward. After a long time, he finally said, "Phoenix."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi looked at him with some surprise.
It turns out that his nickname is Phoenix.
His courtesy name was Fengchen, and his nickname was Fenghuang... How come this person is so connected with the phoenix?
No wonder Pei Xingyuan called everyone by their nicknames except his. Calling him by his nickname made A Dan and the others feel even more ashamed.
He... seems to be blessed by something from birth, never losing his composure, and never finding himself in an embarrassing situation.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "It's a really good name."
Yuwen Ye glanced down at her, remained silent for a long while, and then said, "Mingyue Nu... is also very good."
