The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1559 - 1646: Her Choice—This Is the Xiao Ying I Know

"But look, the people she sent at the beginning were detained by you, and when she came in person, the result was no different."

"It’s because you’re kind-hearted that you didn’t kill them; otherwise, they would have been dead long ago and couldn’t stir up any trouble."

"That’s why I say, if you really want to stand at that supreme position, you absolutely can. Don’t forget that you still have Yun Ge and those eighty thousand female soldiers who call themselves Ghosts."

"Those Ghosts, they used to be Dayuan’s soldiers, but now they are all your loyal Death Soldiers. They devote their lives solely to you."

"If you want to reach the top, with your own capabilities and their support, it’s absolutely certain."

"Neither the Eighth Princess nor the Ninth Princess, with the current situation, can be your opponent."

"And if that day truly comes, you might be as distant to us as the clouds in the sky."

"Third Brother probably thought of this, which is why he made the business bigger and gradually changed his original intentions."

Yixuan said a lot in one breath, and Dong Huiying’s expression became dazed.

What Yixuan said today, she had never thought about, never considered, and never realized before.

She was silent for a while..."I have no interest in any of that."

"Occupying that position requires governing for its sake. I am very aware of my character. I am only suited to live a life of idleness, like a wandering cloud and wild crane. I’m very lazy, enjoy comfort and freedom, and don’t like being constrained. Once on that position, with worries about the nation and the world’s people, that way of life is too exhausting. It’s not what I want."

"Everyone has their own aspirations. I’m not suitable, nor have I ever thought of competing for it."

Yixuan buried his face in her neck, letting out a low, cheerful laugh.

"I knew it would be like this, because that’s the Xiao Ying I know."

Dong Huiying blushed slightly.

"Speaking of which, this scene feels familiar to me."

Yixuan raised his eyes to look directly into hers, and she looked back at him without evasion. "Do you remember when we lived in Qingfeng Purple Garden? That was before you ran away from home."

"I learned from you that Shujun took Yue Ning to Taihang Town. I worried Shujun might be in danger, also because your attitude at that time left a bad impression on me. I might have been avoiding, trying to give myself time to calm down, to think carefully about how to resolve the situation."

"I was very confused then."

"When I reached Taihang Town and met Shujun, one night he and I talked at length just like now. He told me a lot about you, just like you’re talking to me about him now."

No matter how much pain or bitterness there was in the past, it had all passed, but what Dong Huiying remembered most deeply were those sweet moments.

She sighed and said, "I’m not afraid of being laughed at by you. I guess I’m not that strong woman; I think my character is actually very weak, and all of this is traceable."

"For example, in the past, whenever something happened, my instinct was to evade it rather than think first about how to face it or change it."

"This is a flaw in my personality, a weakness in my character, and one of my biggest personal shortcomings."

"Once I possess something, I never want to let it go. I want to hold tightly to what I can, to what I have."
