Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 612 - 497: The Most Incompetent Man, Who Steals a Woman’s Credit

When Yu Wenye handed the empty bowl to Tushere, he looked down and met Shang Ruyi’s nearly admiring eyes. He was puzzled, though he didn’t want to pay attention to her, he couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong?"

"Oh, nothing."

Shang Ruyi quickly shook her head.

Yu Wenye glared at her again, more reluctant to pay her any attention, and turned around to enter the inner room, lying down on the bed.

Shang Ruyi sensed it too; she faintly felt that Yu Wenye seemed angry again like when they first returned home, but if she asked him, he would surely deny being angry — perhaps the more she asked, the angrier he might become.

Thinking this way, she kept silent and sent Tushere away, then sat at the dressing table herself.

Although it was just a family banquet, she had seriously styled her hair earlier, wearing a few dignified hair ornaments. Now, as she took them off, her long, shiny hair cascaded down like fine silk, draping behind her.

Shang Ruyi only gazed at her reflection in the copper mirror, picking up the comb to gently brush her hair. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Simultaneously, she sorted out her thoughts.

Comet appears, disaster arises.

These six words are not difficult to understand. Yet, judging from Yu Wenquan’s attitude today and his reticence about the event of Emperor Wen’s passing, Shang Ruyi faintly sensed that these seemingly straightforward words concealed a not-so-simple truth.

Or rather, a deep scheme.

Moreover, tomorrow the Emperor plans to gather Yu Wenquan, Ji Hong, Pei Xu, and her uncle Shen Shiyan to discuss this matter. It’s unclear what the outcome will be.

Does her uncle really know something?

Another point that concerns Shang Ruyi is that when meeting at the pavilion outside the city today, Pei Xingyuan mentioned that lately, Shen Wuzheng has been closely associating with people from the Historical Bureau. Even today, it was at the Historical Bureau where Pei Xingyuan found Shen Wuzheng.

Is there something in this matter tying to Shen Wuzheng?

Based solely on a map, Shen Wuzheng caused the two main leaders of Wanggang Village to fall out, ultimately leading to the demise of Wanggang Village. If he were to face the prophecy "Comet appears, disaster arises," what actions would he take?

She struggled to ponder in front of the copper mirror, yet failed to notice that the quiet room, initially cooled by the night breeze, was gradually replaced by an intense and even restless atmosphere.

And that atmosphere emanated from the bed, from the person lying there in silence, even somewhat rigid.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed behind Shang Ruyi. She was startled and only had time to see a pair of originally stern eyes reflected in the copper mirror, now burning with intensity as if about to spew fire. Then, she suddenly rose into the air!

She was scooped up horizontally by someone!

"Ah?"

Startled, Shang Ruyi was about to say something, only to be roughly pressed onto the bed, amidst the soft brocade blankets, unable to react before a scorching body descended upon her like Mount Tai.

Soon, she was engulfed by waves of heat from that burning body, losing consciousness in an instant.

A sudden rain drenched the arid land.

When the clouds dispersed and the rain ceased, it was already midnight. Outside the window, water from the eaves occasionally dripped onto the bluestone slabs, producing ding dong sounds, deepening the night.

Shang Ruyi lay on the bed, drenched in sweat, seemingly as if she had been soaked by rain.

She panted gently, trembling slightly.

A rough, still slightly hot hand gently stroked her sweaty, smooth back, devoid of the fierce brutality from the recent plundering, now carrying a bit of tender gentleness contented from satisfaction.

Shang Ruyi, feeling somewhat annoyed, turned around to face him fiercely, "I hate you!"

Just as she finished speaking, there was a sharp pain on her collarbone.

"Ah!"

She gasped lowly, Yu Wenye had lowered his head and bit her collarbone. Though not heavy, her skin had become fragile after his earlier ravaging, making this moment particularly painful, causing Shang Ruyi to shiver lightly, tears welling in her eyes, "What are you doing!"

Yu Wenye raised his head again to glare at her, "What do you think I’m doing!"

Both of them were gasping, their breaths still infused with the lingering sensuality from the recent entanglement. Truly angry, they weren’t, but Shang Ruyi definitely felt a little upset inside, not knowing how to vent, just glaring at Yu Wenye again and turning her face to one side.

The once gently caressing hand slightly exerted force, encircling her waist, pulling her into his embrace.
