When Yu Wenye's voice sounded again, Shang Ruyi suddenly felt as if a long time had passed, as if she had wandered in a dream, and his deep, hoarse voice once again drew her heart and soul back.
He said, "Do you remember, I once told you that I had a very lonely childhood? Even before my mother gave birth to Yan Jie, her eyes only saw my father, and it was others around us who took care of me."
Shang Ruyi was puzzled but still nodded gently.
These words were spoken at Dayan Temple, when she wanted to completely sever ties with him because of Empress Dowager Jiang, and it was the first time Yu Wenye revealed his heart to her.
At that time, she only remembered his childhood loneliness and the gentle comfort from Empress Dowager Jiang.
Bringing this up suddenly now—
While she was feeling a bit puzzled, Yu Wenye continued, "Actually, what I didn't tell you is that before I became sensible, I did have a period that wasn't lonely because he was there."
