Chapter 591: Chapter 591 Wei Ruo’s Confession_1

Wei Ruo continued, “Second Brother, we’ll walk the future path together.”

Together. This simple phrase held countless implications.

Wei Jinyi was unclear about which interpretation Wei Ruo meant.

Perhaps she hoped that next time he decided to take on such ventures, he would inform her earlier and take her along.

Or perhaps she hoped that he would acknowledge and trust her abilities, and leave some matters for her to deal with at the right times.

Or maybe… it held some other meaning.

However, Wei Jinyi didn’t ask. There were answers to some questions that did not necessarily need to be known. Once asked, there was no taking them back.

After living in the small courtyard for three days, Wei Jinyi’s condition stabilized. Everyone began their journey back to the King Rui Residence in Jiliao.

To accommodate Wei Jinyi’s health, the group traveled incredibly slowly, taking half a month to return to the King Rui Residence.

Many of the wounds on Wei Jinyi’s body were healing. Although there were no more severe complications, he temporarily lost sensation in his legs, unable to walk.

Wei Ruo did not tell Wei Jinyi whether he would be able to walk again. She only told him that injuries involving muscles and bones would take longer to heal.

Xu Zhushan carved a wheelchair for Wei Jinyi out of wood.

He knew that simply a wheelchair would not fully repay the debt, but it was the only thing he could do at present.

Every morning, Wei Ruo would come into Wei Jinyi’s room to change his medication, have breakfast with him, drink some medicine, and then push him to the courtyard to bask in the sun.

Then, they would both handle official work in the room, sitting on either side of the desk.

Only after they had eaten lunch together, would Wei Ruo briefly step out. She would go into the fields to inspect and personally tend to the fields.

In the evenings, besides helping Wei Jinyi change his medicine, Wei Ruo would also massage his legs to ensure the muscles would not atrophy from inactivity.

At these times, Wei Jinyi would always furrow his brows.

He refused Wei Ruo more than once, even requesting Xiaobei to replace her, only to be turned down by Wei Ruo each time.

“My method is more professional. They can’t compare to me. I can’t trust such an important task to those who are not professional.”

Wei Ruo’s reasons were justified, leaving Wei Jinyi with no room to reject her.

Even when Wei Jinyi summoned others, they would be dismissed by Wei Ruo.

Without Wei Ruo’s approval, even Wei Jinyi’s orders were not enough for Xiaobei and the others to take action.

Therefore, the task of massaging Wei Jinyi’s legs still fell on Wei Ruo personally.

Today was their third day back, and the third day Wei Ruo massaged Wei Jinyi.

In the room, a dim candlelight made everything visible.

Wei Ruo sat on a low stool, preparing to begin.

Wei Jinyi sat in his wheelchair, seriously watching Wei Ruo.

When Wei Ruo’s hand once again reached for the belt around Wei Jinyi’s waist, he held her hand.

“Ruoruo, you can’t do such things anymore,” Wei Jinyi said solemnly.

“Why not?” Wei Ruo countered.

“If you want to remarry in the future, you shouldn’t have such intimate interactions with me.” Wei Jinyi declared.

“When did I ever say I wanted to remarry?”

“Even if you haven’t thought about the future, such behavior is inappropriate at present.” Wei Jinyi said, restrained and forbearing.
