The Unmoving Bride

Seeing they weren’t interested in eating, Yuan Yixiang didn’t press, finished her meal quickly, then sipped some tea before speaking, “Shang Bieye, do you remember the condition I mentioned?” “Miss Yuan, if you’re willing to give Yan Xinmeng the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill, I would agree to ten conditions.” Shang Bieye said eagerly. “No need.” Yuan Yixiang shook her head with a faint smile, “You just need to agree to one condition, I can’t handle more.” “Miss Yuan, what is the condition?” “Leave your wife immediately and never see her again.” Shang Bieye was taken aback, scrutinizing Yuan Yixiang to see if she was serious, and from her eyes, he saw sincerity. Wu Yangfeng slammed the table in agitation, “Saving a life is more meritorious than building a pagoda, but breaking up a marriage brings seven lifetimes of bad luck, Miss Yuan, why must you do this?” “I just can’t stand to see couples lovey-dovey or lovers affectionate, what can you do about it? Besides, I’m not asking him to die, why are you so worked up?” Yuan Yixiang said haughtily. “You…” Wu Yangfeng was about to retort when Shang Bieye stopped him. “If I agree to your condition, will you really save Xinmeng?” Shang Bieye asked softly. “Yes.” Yuan Yixiang confirmed. Shang Bieye closed his eyes, suppressing the pain in his heart, and slowly, word by word, said, “I agree.” “Bieye…” Wu Yangfeng looked at him anxiously. “This was your own decision, not forced by me. Sigh!” Yuan Yixiang sighed suddenly, “What ‘What is love in this world, that people live and die for it’ is all a lie. I see you don’t even love your wife that much, and she has loved the wrong person.”
Upon hearing this, Shang Bieye glared at Yuan Huixiang with anger, looking displeased. “Miss Yuan, I came here specifically to seek medical help, why do you have to belittle me like this? Indeed, I also thought about following her in death, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope to spend the rest of my life with her, why shouldn’t I try? Today, you’ve set this condition, and although I am extremely reluctant in my heart, if she can live safely in this world, I will accept it willingly. As for how much I love my wife, or whether my wife has loved the wrong person, I think that’s none of your business.” Seeing Shang Bieye’s eyes filled with both anger and pain, Yuan Huixiang suddenly burst into laughter. “Hehe, well said, it’s none of my business.” Yuan Huixiang turned to look at Wu Yangfeng, giving him a meaningful glance, “Did you hear that? It’s something no one can interfere with!” “You…” Could she know my feelings? Wu Yangfeng was startled as he looked at her. Yuan Huixiang gave Wu Yangfeng a slight, mocking look, then turned and walked to the wooden bed where Yan Xinmeng lay. She suddenly reached out and pressed several acupoints on Yan Xinmeng’s body, saying, “Miss Yan, it’s time to wake up. If you don’t wake up, someone might really leave you foolishly.” Yan Xinmeng’s body moved slightly, and Yuan Huixiang gently helped her up. “Brother! Brother Wu!” Yan Xinmeng said weakly. Seeing Yan Xinmeng awake, both Shang Bieye and Wu Yangfeng were so overjoyed they couldn’t speak. Shang Bieye rushed to the bedside with a stride to help Yan Xinmeng up, while Wu Yangfeng, after taking half a step, stopped and stood still. Yuan Huixiang walked over and patted Wu Yangfeng on the back, “Let’s go! This isn’t a place for us. Let’s go outside.” Wu Yangfeng said nothing, quietly following Yuan Huixiang out of the thatched hut.
