Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 450 - 391: You Are Still the Good Daughter-in-law of the Yuwen Family
Shang Ruyi’s eyes flickered, and she wanted to explain something in a bit of a panic.
But at this moment, her throat was clogged, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, and she hadn’t had time to force her voice out of her throat when she heard Yu Wenye say coldly, "Do you think I don’t care about you?"
"..."
"Just like in Jiangdu Palace, you think I would disregard your life and death, right?"
"I—"
At this moment, even if she could speak, Shang Ruyi didn’t know what she should say.
Just a moment ago, she indeed felt lost, even despairing.
And because she was forced to the brink, she put her entire body and mind, all her energy into grappling with those people. She couldn’t conceal the emotions in her eyes in time, so he saw them clearly.
But being asked again now, it was only uncomfortable.
She lowered her head, shifted her gaze, trying to evade this question.
"Talk!"
Yu Wenye raised his voice slightly, still quiet, yet between the two of them, it was like a sharp sword.
Shang Ruyi had no way to escape—after all, her hand was still caught in his palm, and at this moment, he grasped it even more tightly, not allowing her a chance to retreat or dodge.
Clearly, she had just escaped from that almost impenetrable dire situation, as if she’d salvaged a life, but immediately, she was forced onto a dead-end road again, one she found no way out of nor escape from. Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a surge of unspeakable grievance; she bit her lower lip and looked up at him.
That look was somewhat heated, and also somewhat blurred.
And Yu Wenye’s hand hesitated for a moment.
She... seemed like she was going to cry.
Though it wasn’t the first time he saw her with tears brimming in her eyes, nor the first time he forced her to tears, but right now—was indeed not the best time.
His breath became erratic as well, and he said in a deep voice, "You—"
"I’m sorry,"
Feeling the heat in her eyes about to overflow, Shang Ruyi lowered her head and forced herself to swallow the grievance and embarrassment that had yet to dissipate from her heart, but her voice was already tinged with a sobbing tone. She could only repeatedly say, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."
She said these three words over and over.
Just these three words, yet it seemed as if all those embarrassing and unspeakable things had been said.
And for some reason, even though he intended to make her uncomfortable, make her embarrassed, and understand her mistake, truly hearing those three words and the sobbing tone embedded within them, Yu Wenye’s heart seemed stabbed by something.
He gritted his teeth, trying to calm the strange throbbing pain in his chest.
After a silent moment, he barely regained his voice and said hoarsely, "Shang Ruyi, there is no invincible person in this world, and no one can guarantee they can handle any situation or any difficulty. I’m really glad you can look to me when you face insurmountable challenges."
"..."
"But I didn’t speak up immediately because I agree with what you said—that one’s own affairs should be faced by oneself."
"..."
"Moreover, someone who can’t handle even this kind of situation can’t be my wife nor the daughter-in-law of the Yuwen Family."
"..."
"However, you’ve already done what you should do."
"..."
"So what I should do as your husband, I won’t lack in any aspect, nor will I be late."
As he spoke, he looked at Shang Ruyi’s reddened eyes again, his voice lowering once more and taking on a hint of unfamiliar gentleness: "You did great."
"...!"
He was clearly comforting her, but for some reason, hearing his words made Shang Ruyi’s heart ache even more.
She could only grit her teeth, fiercely swallowing that inexplicable stir in her chest.
Then she nodded lightly.
When she finally calmed her emotions and looked up again, she saw Yu Wenquan standing not far ahead, instructing Xue Daotong and the others—presumably measures to deal with this major event. After they all received their orders and left, he raised his head and glanced at Eunuch Yu on the steps.
And the other party seemed to inadvertently nod slightly.
Then turned around and walked into the Great Hero Hall.
Shang Ruyi stood stunned for a moment, the trace of doubt in her heart when she saw Eunuch Yu come out of the hall earlier deepened somewhat at this moment.
Eunuch Yu and the Yuwen Family...
But before she could think further, a strong sense of oppression gradually approached before her, and when she looked up, it was Yu Wenquan coming toward her.
