Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 613 - 497: The Most Incompetent Man, Who Steals a Woman’s Credit_2
Shang Ruyi didn’t struggle; she just let the person behind her hold her.
After a while, he held her a little tighter, slightly pressing against her.
Their skin touched, and the closeness of this distance made their breaths and heartbeats seem to gradually meld into one. Only then did the two of them calm the emotions inside their hearts that were neither angry nor joyful. Yu Wenye lowered his head, brushed his lips gently over her slender, sweat-drenched shoulder, and then said, "Alright."
"..."
Shang Ruyi turned to glance at him.
This glance was neither scolding nor angry, yet carried an endless charm and innocence. The hearts and breaths that had just calmed down suddenly tensed again at this moment.
Yu Wenye frowned and said, "Don’t provoke me anymore!"
Shang Ruyi pouted and immediately turned her head away—who provoked him!
She made up her mind not to pay attention to him tonight. However, the two of them clung so closely, their skin snug against each other, listening to the rhythm of the rain outside, it was a kind of enjoyment. Shang Ruyi even felt that her fiery pain wasn’t so unbearable, and gradually, her heart softened, and her body became more pliant, sinking into that almost suffocating embrace.
The two of them nestled like this, breathing each other’s presence.
After a while, Yu Wenye finally suppressed the little bit of anger in his heart and was gradually colored by the drowsiness that came over, slowly closed his eyes.
But just as he was about to fall asleep, the person in his arms softly said, "Feng Chen?"
"Hm?"
He didn’t open his eyes, just responded to her in a low voice.
Shang Ruyi said softly, "I want to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"This time, on the battle report, did you really write about me?"
"...Hm."
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why write about me in the battle report?"
"..."
Although still not opening his eyes, Yu Wenye couldn’t help but smile, lightly stroking her slender waist with one hand, lazily saying, "Why can’t I write it? This time, the greatest victory in Fufeng was won by you, defeating nearly a hundred thousand enemies in one battle. Don’t you want this honor?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi thought about it and said, "But doesn’t that take away your battle credit?"
What she had always been concerned about was Yu Wenqian appearing in Fufeng. Once he got involved in the war, if Fufeng won big, the battle credits would be stolen by him—although his words later revealed his true intentions, making Shang Ruyi understand he didn’t covet the fruits of this battle in Fufeng, leaving her with some self-chastisement.
Unexpectedly, in the end, it was her who took away the battle credit.
More importantly, he, as a Great General, led the troops to Fufeng, and yet the biggest victory was won by a woman. Not only did this steal his thunder, but didn’t this also disgrace him as the Great General?
Yu Wenye, does he really not mind at all?
Just then, she heard Yu Wenye give a light chuckle, which clearly contained a hint of anger. Before Shang Ruyi could react, she felt a burning pain on her shoulder again.
Yu Wenye actually bit her again!
Shang Ruyi immediately turned around in his arms, glaring at him with reddened eyes, "What are you doing?!"
"What do you think I’m doing!"
Yu Wenye answered her with even more justification, sneering, "What do you take me for? The battle where the most enemies were killed was won under your command. Just because I’m a man and need battle credits under my name, should I steal yours?"
"..."
"I’m telling you, I’m never afraid of others being stronger than me; I’m only afraid that I’m not strong enough. I also don’t fear others overshadowing me in achievements; I’m only scared I can’t create any."
"..."
"And most importantly, only the most incompetent men would steal a woman’s credit."
"..."
After he finished his slightly angry words, the room fell silent.
In the dim light, only Shang Ruyi’s clear eyes, closer than ever, shone brighter than the stars across the inky sky last night and stared at him intently.
After a moment, she suddenly whimpered, turning her head away.
Curled up in the embrace that made her feel safe, Shang Ruyi’s cheeks burned, and her heart thundered.
The feeling wasn’t unfamiliar; she clearly remembered the first time she met this handsome man in the sunlight at the entrance of her room in the Shen Mansion; she had uncontrollably felt this intense heart-beating. And after they got married, in these days of being together, there were countless times she relived that heartbeat, each time seemingly more intense and harder to control than the last.
