Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 644 - 518: Shang Ruyi Making Waves

Yu Wenquan’s brow furrowed slightly.

Shang Ruyi immediately turned her head, seeming like she wanted to say something, but after considering it, she stopped and only looked at him quietly.

That glance was extraordinarily calm, and it exuded a clarity free of the slightest impurity. Although Yu Wenye’s gaze was stern, the moment it met hers, his breath still caught slightly.

Then, Shang Ruyi gently said to him, "It’s not what you think."

"...!"

Yu Wenye’s breathing deepened.

He seemed to realize something, a flash of insight darting across his eyes, and his tightly pressed lips parted slightly as if to speak, but after pondering for a moment, he refrained.

Yu Wenquan looked at the two of them and then said, "You go back first. I still have some words to share with Ruyi."

Yu Wenye also raised his head to glance at him, said nothing more, simply bowed and turned to leave.

Shang Ruyi continued watching his silhouette disappear into the dim night outside the door. Only then did she slowly turn back, just to see Yu Wenquan slowly stand up and walk to her. With a gaze more profound than ever before, he scrutinized her for a few moments before saying again, "I always thought that my sons could handle great responsibilities."

"..."

"Now it seems, combined, their temperaments don’t match up to yours."

"..."

"Ruyi, I am very satisfied with you."

"..."

"And also guilty."

Shang Ruyi immediately said, "Father, please don’t say that."

She knew very well Yu Wenquan’s personality. He might indeed feel guilty towards her, his daughter-in-law, but he could express it, and she could not accept it; once she, as the younger generation, accepted the elder’s guilt, it would be like clearly holding a restraint against him.

What elder would be happy for such a situation to occur?

Moreover, Yu Wenquan is destined to stand at the pinnacle of power in the world, and someone with such a disposition cannot allow himself to have emotional guilt towards others.

If ever he feels it and cannot eliminate the guilt, he will eliminate the one who caused it.

Shang Ruyi slightly gathered her thoughts, and then clearly said, "From a young age, Ruyi lost parental care, though my uncle and aunt cared for me, my nature is dull and incapable of great care. But you, father, did not despise Ruyi, nor did you mind my impudence in marriage decisions. For this, Ruyi is already very grateful to you."

"..."

"So this——"

Her mind flickered for a moment, and she immediately withdrew the words "injustice," lightly smiled, and moved on, saying, "is nothing."

Yu Wenquan, as astute as he is, could certainly hear that she swallowed the word "injustice."

In his heart, besides being satisfied with this daughter-in-law, he also felt a bit more appreciation. At this moment, he couldn’t help but seriously ponder a question——

His longing for that seat of power had been for long, planned for long, even earlier than those around him suspected. Now he was almost just a step away from that position, and he certainly would not retreat, paying any cost to advance that one step further.

But if the cost is this daughter-in-law...

He actually hesitated a little.

Even though a great man has no fear of lacking a wife, there are some people——he understood, that are hard to come by.

Looking at his daughter’s intelligent and decent appearance, Yu Wenquan pondered for a long time, finally sighed, saying, "Although said so, I still feel that my son——both my sons, are not worthy of you."

These words indeed startled Shang Ruyi a bit.

She dared not respond further, but Yu Wenquan himself felt the words too direct, awkwardly chuckled twice, turned around to go back and sit down, and then gestured to Shang Ruyi: "You sit too."

Shang Ruyi apologized, then sat to the side.

It was only then that the atmosphere of conversation resumed, and Yu Wenquan sighed, saying, "Although I have some disappointment in Ye’er, he said one thing very true——I have the best daughter-in-law. Even though I knew for a long time that my old friend’s daughter must be extraordinary in character, I did not expect this much."

"Father..."

"You can rest assured."

"..."

"No matter how tomorrow unfolds, no matter the result in the future, I will not let you suffer."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi’s eyes flashed suddenly.

But she did not immediately express thanks or draw closer in gratitude, instead, after a brief silence, she softly said, "Father, actually Feng Chen just now also didn’t state something correctly——he is not, not your good son."

Yu Wenquan’s profound gaze slightly darkened.

After a moment, he said, "True."

After a pause, he sighed again, "You are right."
