The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1561 - 1648: Little Woman, Big Woman

The tip of her nose suddenly tingled, and her heart was filled with sorrow.

Dong Huiying said softly, "I was narrow-minded. Perhaps others may change their feelings over time, but your brotherhood is different, and so is Shujun."

Yixuan noticed she seemed unwilling to talk much about the past, so he gently raised his hand and touched her head. "If you don’t want to talk, don’t force yourself. But I disagree with your use of ’perhaps’."

Yixuan said, "I don’t know what kind of world you lived in before. That world is probably very different from here; this is evident from your initial difficulty accepting the multihusband system here."

"But we brothers, although our stature and bones differ from others’, are unlike those slender and small-framed men in Dayuan who deem thinness as beautiful."

"Yet we grew up here, in this environment, with this background. It’s the typical Dayuan mindset we were influenced by since childhood."

"Even if, to some extent, there are things in Dayuan we disdain and do not internally support, ultimately... no matter what, we’re still people of Dayuan."

"To regard one’s wife as paramount, to hold her as precious—this belief is ingrained in the bones of every Dayuan man, an indelible conviction deep in the soul, a faith, you could say."

"Even if one day our interactions become mundane, become ordinary, this feeling will never change; it will only elevate, transforming from initial passion into a more complex and profound blend of love and kinship."

Dong Huiying hesitantly asked, "How can you be so sure?"

Yixuan smiled. "If you try relying on us more, you’ll probably understand."

There was a faint hint of confusion in Dong Huiying’s eyes.

Rely on them more? What did Yixuan mean by that?

Yixuan lovingly touched her head.

"What you think has changed hasn’t actually changed. It’s just that you suddenly realized this, suddenly discovered it."

"What I can tell you is that someone accustomed to independence is not good."

"Try relying on us more, we are indeed very reliable."

Dong Huiying was momentarily stunned, followed by a long silence.

Dependence?

The words ’dependence’ and ’trust,’ Dong Huiying had heard countless times from these brothers.

She had attempted to rely, attempted to trust.

But so far, she seemed not to have been very successful.

Perhaps her attempt failed, and trust was not absolute or complete. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be thinking about what if feelings faded or if these brothers had a change of heart.

As for independence.

What Yixuan referred to as independence, did the brothers indeed see her as a very independent person?

Yixuan kissed her on the forehead.

"As I see it, how to put this? You are someone who needs to be cherished and cared for, yet you like to act like a big woman, always disguising yourself as seemingly omnipotent, but that is not the real you. You might have just gotten used to being independent in mindset and subconscious."

"Or perhaps it’s because there was no one in the past for you to rely on and trust fully, so under those circumstances, you had to try to be independent on your own."
