Chapter 25 This marriage is a transaction

Shang Ruyi was standing in the middle of the room when she heard footsteps behind her, walking towards her slowly step by step.

She suddenly felt her heart start to beat wildly.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and she could even feel a dangerous and charming aura coming from behind, but she didn't want to run away at all, she just stood there quietly, motionless.

Until Yu Wenye walked up to her.

The tall figure stood in front of him, casting a thick shadow that enveloped him. Just like when he first met him, he felt that he was looking down at him. Although Shang Ruyi covered his face with a fan, he couldn't help but

Blushed.

At this time, he stretched out his hand and put it on the back of her hand.

"...!"

At this moment, Shang Ruyi's heartbeat no longer felt like his own.

From the surprise when I first saw this handsome young man, to the touching feeling when he single-handedly rescued me from the horse bandits like a magic weapon, to the joy when I saw the makeup-inducing poem, I traveled all the way, even though it only lasted one day and one night.

In the meantime, there seemed to be countless trickles coming, gradually converging into a tide, surging in my chest.

Shang Ruyi suddenly felt that this marriage might not be just a last resort decision.

Maybe--

Maybe, she can be more sincere and attentive.

Thinking like this, she raised her head from behind the fan and looked at Yuwen Ye with a pair of bright eyes.

"I actually-"

"I have something to tell you."

They both spoke at the same time and were both stunned for a moment. Shang Ruyi immediately said: "Speak first."

Yu Wenye glanced at her, and the hand covering the back of her hand pressed down with a little force: "You are still holding this fan, aren't you tired?"

Shang Ruyi blushed slightly: "The etiquette cannot be discarded."

Yu Wenye said: "I mean, you know that this marriage is just superficial, but you still hold it up, aren't you tired?"

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's heartbeat suddenly stopped.

She opened her mouth and said in a dry voice: "You mean-"

Yu Wenye looked at her calmly with indifferent eyes and said: "Since you and I both know the meaning of this marriage, we can save some unnecessary things."

This sentence is like a bucket of cold water being poured down on you.

The warmth in her chest also turned cold in an instant.

Shang Ruyi slowly put down his hands and looked at Yu Wenye's stern face. He was speechless for a moment, but Yu Wenye continued calmly: "I know you want something."

"..."

"I can also see that you won't tell anyone what you want."

"..."

"But these are not important. What is important is that although this marriage is not what you and I want, it is obvious that we both need this marriage. So starting from today, we can pretend to be a couple in front of everyone.

This way, you can get what you ask for."

Shang Ruyi opened his mouth and tested it several times before squeezing out his voice from his throat: "You mean, this marriage is a transaction."

"good."

"This is your plan all along."

Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows slightly: "What else?"

His expression looked so calm, which made Shang Ruyi's surprise at the moment seem a bit ridiculous.

Yes, in the conversation he had with himself when he left Shen's Mansion, the two of them had already explained everything clearly. Obviously, he had already made plans from then on.

I don't know how long it took before Shang Ruyi finally spoke, and instinctively maintained his calmness: "Okay."

"..."

"fair enough."

There is nothing wrong with a cold transaction.

At least, compared with the heartbeat and heartache that may occur after you really put your feelings into it, there won't be any trouble in just trading.

Looking at Shang Ruyi's calm and numb expression, Yu Wenye felt relieved. He was right. She was not a woman who couldn't stand any setbacks and would make a fuss and yell when something happened.

She was so calm that it even surprised him.

At this time, Shang Ruyi raised his head and looked into his eyes, saying, "What about you?"

"What?"
