Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 455 - 395: She Is the Best Woman in the World

Chapter 455: Chapter 395: She Is the Best Woman in the World

At this moment, Shang Ruyi felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her whole body numb, losing all sense of feeling.

No, something still remained.

Pain.

Her lips were being bitten hard, and in just a moment, they were broken and started bleeding. The salty, metallic taste she barely caught was immediately swept away by Yu Wenye—he was like a fierce beast that had completely abandoned its self-restraint, roaring with greed, ravaging her lips.

Soon, the taste of blood filled the space between their lips.

And that bloody taste finally brought her back some sensation.

"You—"

Shang Ruyi murmured a word but was instantly swallowed again by Yu Wenye, who kissed her fiercely, as if wanting to pour all his emotions from those days onto her in this very moment.

And Shang Ruyi, was in even greater pain.

She struggled, reaching out to push away the chest pressing down on her, but no matter how she pushed or hit, the strong body before her was like a mountain, unmoved.

Breathing, entirely controlled, even suffocating.

It seemed, he wanted to kill her!

The desperate feeling of nearing death finally burst forth some power in her already weak body, and Shang Ruyi used all her strength to push him away, her eyes red as she shouted, "Are you crazy?!"

But before she finished speaking, Yu Wenye grabbed her chin again, biting heavily on her blood-drenched lips.

The piercing pain made her shudder.

Seeing Yu Wenye about to kiss again, Shang Ruyi desperately pushed him away, struggling as she shouted hoarsely regardless, "This is a temple!"

Even as she looked past his cold eyes, Shang Ruyi immediately saw behind him, the Bodhisattva gazing down with lowered eyes, watching her.

Also watching them.

This was the Dayan Temple, where the assembly was held, and the Buddhist Hall honored Three Saints.

It was the purest and most sacred place on earth.

Yet at such a time, he was doing this to her!

Shang Ruyi was both ashamed and anxious, but Yu Wenye’s gaze remained as stern as ever, with an extra hint of ruthlessness at this moment. He lowered his head, gripping her chin to make her look at him, gritting his teeth as he spoke, "So what about the temple? What about the God Buddha? Have you forgotten where it was the first time between us?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi was taken aback.

The next moment, her face turned crimson.

How could she forget, how could she possibly forget?

Their first time had been inside the Buddhist Temple. Back then, her heart was entirely focused on him, she had given everything to him, and even tolerated what he did at Ban Yan Temple—

Just like before, his arms wrapped around her, his kiss, even the breath across her cheek, hadn’t changed.

She felt her cheeks heat up, and Yu Wenye’s gaze seemed to soften for a second, but then it became even colder and severe, and he said heavily, "I told you, I don’t believe in or worship God Buddha, yet just now, I actually wanted to pray to them."

"..."

"Pray for them to let you forget everything, and pray for them to let you understand me."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi’s heart sank; she looked up at him incredulously.

At that moment, in Yu Wenye’s cold and sharp eyes, there was a flicker of piercing red; unsure if it was reflecting the blood on their lips or if his heart and soul were on the brink of collapse, it deepened the bloodlust in his gaze. He said, "Yet I was still wrong, God Buddha is useless; relying on you is useless."

"..."

"You are even more foolish than I thought!"

"You—"

Suddenly humiliated like this, Shang Ruyi was infuriated and anxious, wanting not only to break free from him but driven to strike him in anger. However, before she could even lift her hands, he grabbed them forcibly, pinning them against the cold door, and this time, he didn’t hold back at all, slamming her hard against the door.

With a loud crash, the heavy, muffled sound echoed through the silent Buddhist Hall.

Almost as if it spread even further.

Shang Ruyi shuddered immediately—this was Dayan Temple!

Even more, not far from here was the Lecture Hall, just now the three bell sounds marked the end of the Inner Altar Dharma Assembly; the people there should be coming out and might be headed this way.

If they were discovered, if they were seen—

Shang Ruyi couldn’t even dare to imagine!

She was instantly distressed, her eyes reddened, her voice hoarse as she said, "You’re crazy, let go—"

Before she could finish, Yu Wenye’s eyes turned even redder as he glowered at her viciously, lowering his head once more to fiercely block her mouth, crushing the words between their lips and teeth.

"Mmm!"

All of Shang Ruyi’s struggles and cries for help were shattered by his burning breath and the strength of his kiss, unable to break free, she could only grasp a margin of breath amidst his almost violent aura. Yet it was just this slight breath of life that made her dimly hear footsteps seemingly approaching from outside.

I don’t know if it was a mistake in her hearing or just the illusion of a heavy heartbeat at that moment, but she felt as if those footsteps were getting closer.

They were about to enter the Buddhist Hall!

But Yu Wenye, it seemed he didn’t hear it, or perhaps he did but didn’t care, as he viciously devoured her lips, kissing her with such force that he stole her last breath.

"No—"

Shang Ruyi, summoning strength from who knows where, let out a nearly shattered moan amid his entanglement and torment.

In the next moment, tears burst forth from her eyes.

Tears dripped down, flowing to the edges of their lips, immediately drawn in, adding a salty and bitter taste between the bloody savor.

That taste made Yu Wenye shudder and suddenly stop.

He lowered his head, and his eyes, almost wildly reddened, finally regained a bit of calmness and composure at this moment. He clearly saw the girl in his arms, pale-faced, with swollen lips stained with a sorrowful hue of blood, ravaged and close to breaking. The anger in his heart dissipated at once.

His hands also softened.

Yet he still held her, unwilling to relax even a little, but as he looked at her, he finally calmed down.

"Shang Ruyi..."

He called her name, though it was just the lightest, faintest whisper between the two of them, but for Shang Ruyi, it was like thunder, making her tremble, tears rolling down continuously, completely shattering her swollen, angry pretense from just now.

She wasn’t that strong, nor did she have the strength to confront this man.

She dreaded the shame of being seen, and dared not face this man’s anger, yet this man hurt her at her most vulnerable place, making her cry.

Seeing Shang Ruyi seemingly soulless, collapsing into him, his soul seemed to endure a tearing pain as well.

He murmured with reddened eyes, "I’ve only kissed you like this, and I only want to kiss you..."

"..."

"Shang Ruyi, do you understand?"

As he spoke the last word, his usually steady voice seemed to carry a slight tremor, and his chest, pressed tightly against hers, seemed to tremble subtly at that moment.

Shang Ruyi’s heart also began to tremble.

She raised her eyes, and through blurred tears, his gaze gradually softened, as if the intense kiss just now had finally melted the ice in his eyes and heart. When he looked at her again, there was a trace of tenderness tinged with a sense of bewilderment.

He said softly, "Since I was sensible, my mother became frail and sickly after giving birth to Yan Jie—though even without Yan Jie, her eyes only saw my father. We, though her flesh and blood, were less important to her than my father.

"I was cared for by everyone, seemingly living well, but in my heart—no one knew.

"And back then, she appeared.

"She always had me come to the palace, teaching me to read and write, how to conduct myself, and she comforted all my untold sufferings during those years...

"Later, I learned that in truth, she was also lonely.

"She was chosen by Emperor Wen and Empress Du as the future Crown Princess Consort, the future Empress to be educated and then placed beside that person; her entire life predestined, as if she needn’t have feelings of her own.

"But I knew she did.

"Yet that person did not!

"So she told me everything she wanted to say, but that person wouldn’t listen—she taught me the way of a ruler, told me that the ruler is the boat, and the ministers are the oars, the people are water; she said men should have ambitions to establish achievements before considering personal emotions...

At this point, his voice was hoarse, with a heaviness emanating from the depths, "I have reached this day because all the strength, wisdom, and ideals were given by her."

"..."

"She is a perfect woman, the best person one could imagine in my heart."

"..."

"She is better than anyone, undeniable."

At the moment she heard these words, Shang Ruyi only felt an emptiness in her heart.

She knew she wasn’t jealous, truly without any jealousy—one can’t resist having such a gentle companion during lonely times.

Indeed, what she just said wasn’t lying to him either.

Even she herself would fall in love with such a woman. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi let out a bitter smile, looked up at Yu Wenye, and said softly, "I know, you don’t have to say anymore. I—"

But before she finished her words, she felt Yu Wenye’s aura sink once again.

He lowered his head, looking at her sparkling, almost-breakable gaze, saying deeply, "But, I never want to embrace her, and I certainly don’t want to kiss her."

"...!"

"What she never taught me, I learned from you."

"..."

"I only realized, I might want to embrace someone, kiss someone, and that person isn’t her."

Saying this, he looked deeply into Shang Ruyi’s shocked, breathless face, speaking each word clearly, "Shang Ruyi, do you understand—she is the best woman in the world, but all I want is you."
