Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 614 - 497: The Most Incompetent Man, Who Steals a Woman’s Credit_3

It seemed like she was growing more and more fond of him.

In truth, it wasn’t that she was completely indifferent to winning that battle without being able to leave her name. After all, it was a method of fire attack she had devised through painstaking thought, and she had her own pride. However, as no woman had ever been a general in this dynasty, there was no role for her in the conferral of honors and rewards, so she felt a sense of regret and was even more determined to protect this battle achievement from being taken by others.

But unexpectedly, Yu Wenye was so candid. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

He recognized others’ strengths because that didn’t mean he was weak; on the contrary, others’ strengths stimulated him to seek powerful strength himself, thus allowing him to become stronger.

This is the belief a true strong person should have!

At this moment, Shang Ruyi remembered when she once told him outside Ban Yan Temple: he was a miracle granted to her by the God Buddha.

During her most frantic and helpless moments, she "abandoned" Yu Wenqian and chose him. No, more accurately, she chose the son of Duke Sheng—besides Yu Wenqian’s unexpected son, he was like a spring to her parched self, encountered at the last moment of life, in a panic.

At that time, she couldn’t consider whether this life-saving spring was bitter, full of mud that was hard to swallow, or even poisonous.

But to protect her family, she couldn’t think too much, could only make a choice, and therefore had to bear all the consequences of that choice.

Yet she never expected that the spring bestowed by heaven not only quenched her thirst but also was a clear, sweet spring that could soothe the soul, and heal her aching heart, something people search the world for but can rarely find.

If this is not a miracle, then what is?

At this moment, this "miracle" stood facing his suddenly silent, disordered-breathing wife who turned her back on him, a bit stunned himself, shook Shang Ruyi’s thin shoulders, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

"..."

"Speak!"

"..."

"Shang Ruyi!"

He extended his hand to shake her again, but then he saw the delicate woman in his arms suddenly turn to face him, quickly glance at him, and then bury herself into his embrace, tightly wrapping her arms around his slim waist, nestling against his chest like a cat afraid of the cold, indescribably obedient and gentle.

In that instant, Yu Wenye’s heart was softened by her sudden closeness.

A little caught off guard, he instinctively relaxed his breath, extended his hand, gently wrapped her back, bringing her closer to himself, and whispered, "What’s wrong with you now?"

"..."

The person in his arms was silent for a while, then softly said, "Heaven is truly kind to me."

What?

Yu Wenye frowned slightly—what does this have to do with heaven?

Isn’t it just the two of us right now?

He was about to scold her for her nonsensical words, but then saw Shang Ruyi bury her face deeper into his chest, muffledly saying, "I originally, I just wanted to be the daughter-in-law of Duke Sheng..."

Her voice grew quieter as she spoke, so even though the two were tightly together, the latter words were somewhat indistinct.

However, Yu Wenye faintly grasped something, which made his breath deepen, but what made his breath deepen further was feeling her warm breath against his chest, so hot that it made the heart beating within his chest start to burn.

A flame once again ignited from his chest.

Yu Wenye took a few deep breaths and exhaled several times, initially intending to suppress the fire within him, but unexpectedly, it not only failed to calm down, instead, the flames surged with a prairie fire’s force, engulfing his whole body, even his rationality. At this moment, he no longer endured, just bit his lip, and with one motion, pressed the soft body in his arms beneath him once again.

In no time, the quiet room was filled with the sounds of struggle and rolling.

After a series of sticky breath sounds, a somewhat pitiful voice rang out in the night—

"I, I’m so tired..."

"Sleep tomorrow."

...

As the night deepened,

Being thus tormented till exhaustion, Shang Ruyi finally fell asleep.

However, just as she was deeply slumbering, she felt someone nudging her. She was extremely tired, still immersed in a drowsy yet sweet dream, could only barely murmur, "Don’t touch me, last night you promised to let me sleep today..."

As soon as her words fell, she heard a chuckle.
