Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 561 - 465 You Can Foreknow_2

Yu Wenqian involuntarily stepped aside.

Then, he saw Shang Ruyi look down at Yu Wenye’s tightly closed lips. She said nothing, merely reached out to gently pinch his cheeks, which had become noticeably thinner due to the recent illness, then slowly leaned down—

Placing her lips upon his.

"...!"

Yu Wenqian’s gaze sharpened.

At this moment, Shang Ruyi no longer cared about who was present or who was watching. All her focus was concentrated on this instant. As the two pairs of lips touched, a breath of warmth and tranquility passed into Yu Wenye’s mouth, and at once, his chest seemed to be freed from a binding, suddenly heaving.

He finally resumed breathing!

Only then did Shang Ruyi breathe a sigh of relief, slowly straightening up, watching as his complexion gradually calmed, and the dark purple hue on his lips started to fade away.

All is well now...

At long last, all is well.

The corners of her tightly pressed lips revealed a trace of a relieved smile.

But the next moment, her heart tightened again.

Due to their close proximity, she could clearly feel that although Yu Wenye’s breathing was weak, his breath was as hot as fire; furthermore, there was a sickly, almost flame-like blush on his cheeks, yet his body was cold, as if some mysterious fire inside him was burning, consuming him from within, not showing the slightest outward sign.

As if it intended to burn away the last vestiges of his life.

His remaining time truly was scarce.

"Feng Chen..."

Shang Ruyi murmured softly, as if wanting to say something, but countless words only melded into the shared breaths between her and him, close at hand.

She gently, in her heart, said: "It’s alright."

As if he had heard this heart’s voice, even though he was on the verge of being completely exhausted, Yu Wenye’s tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, only leaving a few vertical lines between them due to the tight furrow. Shang Ruyi couldn’t help but reach out and gently rub them away for him.

Then, she looked up, gazing at Yu Wenqian who stood to one side.

At this moment, a few sudden vertical lines appeared in Yu Wenqian’s brow.

It seemed rare to see him with such a heavy expression, and at this moment, there was an added layer of complex emotions in that heaviness, as if what had just happened had deeply shocked him. Although Yu Wenye had resumed breathing, he seemed, at that moment, to have suffocated.

Even his hands hanging by his sides were tightly clenched into fists.

Shang Ruyi thought for a moment, then stood up and said: "Elder brother."

"..."

"Sorry for making a fool of myself, elder brother."

"..."

Yu Wenqian said nothing, only gazed deeply at her.

After a long while, he finally revealed a faint smile, but that smile seemed to carry an indescribable sense of desolation and bleakness, though it was fleeting, and in a moment, became gentle and calm again. He said: "Sister-in-law, why say such words? With Feng Chen fine, we’re all relieved."

"Hmm."

After these words, the two didn’t speak again, as if unsure what to say.

The atmosphere was indescribably stifling, even awkward, and after quite some time, Yu Wenqian finally spoke: "Sister-in-law, you came here now, is it because matters on that side are already settled?"

Shang Ruyi glanced at him: "Elder brother knows I have matters to handle?"

Yu Wenqian said: "One might say I know."

"Why?"

Shang Ruyi’s gaze was intense as she stared at him, as if trying to discern something from those clear, pale gray eyes: "Why would elder brother know?"

Yu Wenqian glanced back at her and said: "Guessed."

"..."

"And I guess, sister-in-law, you must have found out the real culprits who set the fire outside your residence and harmed Feng Chen and you that day."

"..."

"I just don’t know how you plan to deal with them."

"Them?"

Shang Ruyi’s gaze sharpened: "Elder brother also knows it wasn’t just one person, and presumably you know who each of them is."

Yu Wenqian said: "Song Yu, and Ma Xu."

"..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"And surely Song Yu is the mastermind, Ma Xu merely an accomplice. So sister-in-law, the one you mainly need to deal with would be Song Yu."

"..."

"Is this also elder brother’s guess?"

"Yes."

Shang Ruyi silently looked at him for a long time, then suddenly said: "Elder brother, how can you have foreknowledge of these things?"

Yu Wenqian’s gaze flickered as he looked at her: "Sister-in-law, do you think there really are people with foreknowledge in this world?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi furrowed her brow.

But she didn’t answer, only looking deeply at Yu Wenqian: "What do you think, elder brother?"

"..."

The two exchanged a lengthy, silent gaze.

Yet this silence was not of quiet wordlessness, but instead seemed like sharp things clashing in the stillness. It was less a silent gaze than a wordless standoff.

After a while, Yu Wenqian faintly laughed.

He said: "In this world, is there really such a divine person who can have foreknowledge?"

Saying this, he seemed unwilling to continue the topic, lowered his head to glance at Yu Wenye, then looked at Shang Ruyi again, with a serious expression said, "Now, Xue Xian’s forces have temporarily been repelled, and they should not threaten Fufeng’s safety for a while; the persons secretly harming you and Feng Chen, sister-in-law, you have also investigated. Now, perhaps it’s time to discuss Feng Chen’s illness."

"..."

"I mentioned earlier, Feng Chen’s illness only has three days left."

"..."

"Today is already the third day."

"..."

"Just now, if it weren’t for you risking yourself to breathe for him, Feng Chen might not have lasted, but you cannot always do this."

"..."

"In his current state, what is your plan?"

Shang Ruyi said: "My plan is—to let him continue to recover here."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenqian’s brow immediately furrowed again, and he said gravely: "He will die!"

"He won’t!"

Hearing her resolute words, Yu Wenqian’s eyes flickered slightly, looking at Shang Ruyi with a deeper gaze, and his words carried a subtle nuance.

He said: "Sister-in-law’s words sound as if you have foreknowledge."

"..."

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, looked up at Yu Wenqian.

She said: "Yes."
