Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Tonight, How Should We Sleep?

This question came suddenly, Yu Wenye was stunned for a moment, only to see Shang Ruyi calmly looking at him, her black and white eyes seemingly coated with a layer of frost, making her gaze clearer and more composed.

She asked, "You said you know I have something I want, then what about you?"

"..."

"This marriage is neither what I want, nor what you want. Yet, you agreed and went to such lengths to pretend to be husband and wife with me. What is it that you want?"

"..."

Yu Wenye did not speak.

He didn’t expect that amid her calmness, Shang Ruyi would actually question him back, and indeed, her question caught him off guard.

Shang Ruyi stared into his eyes, showing no intention of backing down.

Yu Wenye suddenly felt a bit intrigued. He slowly walked to the low table in the center of the room, flicked his robe aside, sat down, and leisurely looked up at Shang Ruyi: "Then, can you tell me what it is you want?"

"..."

"If you tell me, I’ll tell you."

Shang Ruyi’s frown deepened slightly.

Actually, she didn’t expect her question to yield an answer, she just couldn’t accept being entirely under his control on such a wedding night after being dashed with cold water. She wanted to win back a little for herself.

It’s just that Yu Wenye was not so easy to deal with either.

The two of them, dressed in bright red wedding attire, stood and sat in this joyous bridal chamber as if in a standoff.

After who knows how long, Shang Ruyi finally took a deep breath and said, "Since this marriage is merely a transaction, there’s no need for you and me to really care about each other."

"..."

"I won’t ask anymore."

Having said that, she slowly walked to the other side of the room. By the window stood an exquisitely decorated dressing table that didn’t quite match the furnishings of the room, clearly newly set up for her arrival.

She sat silently in front of the dressing table and began removing the hairpins and rings from her body.

She really didn’t speak again.

Watching her straightened back, Yu Wenye suddenly felt a bit disappointed.

Just a moment ago, there was indeed a moment when he actually wanted to hear why this girl, who suddenly broke off the engagement and refused to marry his elder brother Yu Wenqian, chose to marry him instead.

But at this moment, asking seemed futile. This Shang Ruyi was more stubborn than he had imagined.

To her back, he slowly said, "Shang Ruyi, you really surprise me."

"..."

Shang Ruyi’s hand paused slightly but continued to take off the earrings, looking calmly into the copper mirror reflecting Yu Wenye’s stern eyes, she said, "We are, after all, strangers."

"..."

The two of them stopped talking.

The room remained quietly silent. After a while, she stood up and walked over to Yu Wenye.

Yu Wenye looked up at her, only to see her shedding her elaborate attire, leaving only her raven hair falling behind like a shiny black silk satin, making her look even more slender and fragile.

Even exuding a somewhat pitiable charm.

She opened her mouth, her voice still calm and indifferent: "Tonight—henceforth, how should we sleep?"

This was the most immediate and realistic problem before them.

Since Yu Wenye had made the transaction clear on their wedding night, he clearly had no intention of engaging in any conjugal matters with her.

Yu Wenye looked up at her: "How do you want to sleep?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi remained silent for a moment, then looked around the room again.

Then, she picked up a pillow from the bed and walked towards the other side of the room where a resting couch was placed against the wall.

Just as she placed the pillow on it and was about to lie down, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from behind her. Before she could react, she was abruptly pulled back by a hand.
