In my memory, the girl was never talkative since she was a child. Even when facing her fiancé, she would just silently follow behind him like a little tagalong.
Years later, the girl returned from the mountain and met him several times.
The girl is no longer the little Cinderella she once was; she has become ethereal and otherworldly, as beautiful as a fairy. The only thing that remains unchanged is that she is still as indifferent as ever.
Even though Shen Yunhao repeatedly proposed to annul the engagement and put on that attitude on the wedding day, it didn't make her angry or upset at all. Instead, she calmly went through the wedding and left without saying a word.
Shen Yunhao thought that nothing in this world could possibly cause such a woman to have the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Until now.
He then realized that he was wrong.
The woman in my arms could be so fragile, and she could cry so bitterly...
Yes, Ning Yuyao cried.
The girl buried her face in Shen Yunhao's arms, her nose twitching, her eyes red, but no tears fell.
It seems that she had already cried all her tears some time ago.
Shen Yunhao could feel that she was hugging him very tightly, almost using all her strength, as if he would disappear if she let go.
Even so, despite Ning Yuyao's "all-out effort" as a Soul Condensation Realm cultivator, Shen Yunhao still couldn't feel the slightest discomfort.
It wasn't that Shen Yunhao's skin and bones were indestructible, but rather that the girl herself had suppressed all her spiritual energy, and now she was no different from an ordinary little girl.
It's not so unattainable, nor so ethereal and otherworldly.
She was just a simple, innocent young girl who had just gotten married...
There were quite a few people watching this scene.
Besides Lai Fu in front, there's Ying Tangtang shaking her head and sighing in the courtyard, and Shen Wenruo secretly watching from not far away. You could even include the little green vine on Shen Yunhao's wrist that dares not move.
At this moment, neither the life-saving grace nor the brother-sister relationship could be used by Shen Yunhao as an excuse to escape reality, and everything returned to the question at the very beginning.
How can I refuse such a beautiful woman's hospitality?
Facing the slender, delicate body in his arms, Shen Yunhao raised his hand and then lowered it, then lowered it and raised it again.
It perfectly captures the inner turmoil...
But to others, it appears to be a completely different story.
Shen Wenruo: "It's utterly pathetic! He doesn't even dare to hug her, and yet he goes out to find other women. He really doesn't know what's good for him!"
Ying Tangtang: "Is this kid still thinking about breaking off the engagement? Damn it, if he dares to say it, I'll throw him off the cliff again!"
Laifu: "Young Master, are you perhaps considering whether to touch his buttocks or his waist first? As expected of you, Young Master, you're so composed. If it were me, I would have already carried him into the room..."
Blessings come against all odds.
After hesitating for a long time, Shen Yunhao finally sighed.
He raised his hand to support the girl's shoulder and gently pushed her away half an inch.
"!!!"
Ying Tangtang narrowed her eyes slightly and made a hand seal with one hand.
If this brat dares to bully my junior sister, I'll beat him to the ground right now and he won't be able to be dug out!
The girl looked up at him, her dark eyes brimming with tears, the corners of her eyes reddened and slightly moist. Combined with her pitiful and alluring face, she was truly a sight to behold.
Even so, Shen Yunhao could still catch a glimpse of... panic in the girl's eyes.
What is she afraid of...?
Shen Yunhao pursed his lips, then naturally raised his hand and used his thumb to wipe away the tears from the corner of the girl's eyes, revealing a smile of long-awaited reunion. His tone was teasing, yet also contained a hint of doting affection: "How come I didn't know before, Yao'er, that you were such a crybaby..."
"Ah...it's melted..."
Laifu covered his face with his hands and seized the opportunity to make a quick getaway.
"Holy shit!" Even Shen Wenruo couldn't help but curse, turning around and leaving immediately: "Where did that stench come from! I've really opened my eyes... If you're so good at flirting, you should have said so earlier, making me worry so much! Alright, alright, I can go and report now!"
In the courtyard, Ying Tangtang froze on the spot.
who I am?
Where am I?
Is this guy really the same silly boy who insisted on breaking off the engagement before?
Is this... a sudden epiphany?
The one who reacted the most was naturally Ning Yuyao, who was closest to her.
The girl's face flushed red instantly, and she lightly punched Shen Yunhao in the chest, almost burying her head in his chest.
"I...I didn't cry..."
After saying that, he seemed to lack confidence and turned around and ran back into the courtyard.
"Hey! Yao'er! Where are you going?"
Ning Yuyao ignored Ying Tangtang's questioning and ran back to Shen Yunhao's room as if fleeing.
"ah?"
Only Shen Yunhao stood there, blinking, looking completely bewildered: "This... they just ran away? This won't do..."
"snort!"
A soft hum came from the wrist.
Oh, I forgot about you!
As he spoke, he took off his bracelet and put it down in a clump of grass.
"You play by yourself for now, I'll come find you later."
Qing Teng: "..."
Mo Yan: "..."
After finishing all this, Shen Yunhao sighed, walked into the courtyard, and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ying Tangtang in the middle: "Thank you so much, Miss Ying, for taking care of Yao'er these past few days!"
Shen Yunhao had met Ying Tangtang before, when he went to annul the engagement. At that time, he was fearless and was scolded half to death by this senior sister.
"ha?"
Ying Tangtang could hardly believe her ears.
Isn't this change a bit too drastic?
"Um...it's really nothing. She's my junior sister, so of course I have to take good care of her. You don't need to tell me that!"
Ying Tangtang still subconsciously kept her distance from Shen Yunhao.
"That's true... but I still want to thank you, young lady! After all, it's my fault as your husband for not fulfilling his responsibilities."
Hearing this, Ying Tangtang's expression softened even more, and she immediately switched to elder mode: "If you had realized this sooner, Junior Sister wouldn't have been so heartbroken!"
Actually, she also wanted to tell Shen Yunhao that the person he should be most grateful to was Ning Yuyao herself!
If Ning Yuyao hadn't sacrificed her most precious resources to rebuild his bone structure, this silly boy would probably still have the same useless bone structure as before...
However, this was ultimately a private matter between the couple, and as an outsider, she shouldn't interfere.
In the end, he could only sigh and say, "After the wedding, Yao'er went back to the mountain to cultivate in seclusion. It wasn't that she intended to leave without saying goodbye... When she came out of seclusion a few days ago and learned of your death, she was truly heartbroken for a long time..."
Ying Tangtang paused, still somewhat worried, and said, "She really likes you, so... please don't bully her anymore!"
Stop bullying her...
The words he uttered made Shen Yunhao, who already felt indebted, feel even more guilty and ashamed.
Faced with Ning Yuyao like this, does he really still have the courage to propose a divorce?
