Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 665 - 529: Yu Wenye, How to Choose?!

This night, amidst the ferocious onslaught of wind and rain, passed.

Although they went to bed very late the previous night, at just 7 AM, Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi got out of bed. After washing up and just sitting down to eat, someone below reported—

Mr. Pei is here to visit.

This was somewhat unexpected for them.

After all, with the epidemic rampant in the city now, normally, the sons of these official families—unless tasked with important duties like Yu Wenqian and Yu Wenye, who needed to go out for business—were all keeping their doors and windows tightly shut. How could they allow their family members to roam around?

But, it wasn’t entirely unexpected either.

After all, after what happened in the Taiji Palace yesterday, Pei Xu should’ve told him everything. Considering his penchant for getting involved in any lively scene, the fact that he waited until this morning to visit showed some restraint.

Maybe he didn’t even sleep well last night.

So, Yu Wenye had them bring him in, and upon seeing that familiar figure, described as dashing but actually more like an idle loafer, swaggering in, the worry that had wrapped around him all night, even refusing to leave him in his dreams, was blown away by the fresh breeze Pei brought with him.

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "Mr. Pei is here."

Pei Xingyuan, dressed in a long emerald robe, combined with his naturally tall and slender figure, possessed a certain refined elegance, like that of a bamboo slenderness, though the playful expression on his face dispelled that elegance entirely.

He pretentiously cupped his hands towards Shang Ruyi and said, "Sorry to disturb."

After saying this, without waiting for Shang Ruyi to return the courtesy, he turned to Yu Wenye and said, "Feng Chen, congratulations!"

Yu Wenye frowned a bit impatiently and said in a deep voice, "You say ’congratulations’ at a time like this? Are you not afraid that Uncle Pei’s stick isn’t thick enough?"

Pei Xingyuan immediately realized and said, "I spoke out of turn, forgive me. I’ll punish myself with a bowl."

After saying that, he swaggered over to sit in front of them. Just as Tushere had ladled a bowl of porridge, about to place it in front of Yu Wenye, he took it.

Seeing him like this, Shang Ruyi and Tushere both couldn’t help but laugh.

Although Yu Wenye was still wearing a serious expression, a hint of a smile leaked from the corner of his eyes. He finally sighed and sat down, saying, "You really are not at all polite."

Pei Xingyuan indeed wasn’t polite in the slightest, slurping a spoonful along the edge of the bowl. The porridge, finely boiled to a soft and mushy consistency, spread a rich aroma of rice in his mouth; swallowing it, even his organs warmed up, and he comfortably sighed.

Then he said, "Why should I be polite with you?"

"..."

"I’m not that kind of fake proper person; I am the genuine gentleman of elegance!"

Shang Ruyi, just then, was taking another bowl of porridge from Tushere. Hearing his words, as if there was another meaning behind them, she looked up at him, only to see Pei Xingyuan smiling at her and saying, "Your elder cousin, he’s the fake proper one."

Shang Ruyi widened her eyes, "My brother?"

"Yes,"

Pei Xingyuan took another sip of porridge and then said, "I first went to the Shen Family in the morning. I heard Uncle Shen was released, and as a junior, I needed to check on him."

Shang Ruyi quickly said, "My uncle—"

Pei Xingyuan smiled and said, "Don’t worry, although Uncle Shen got hurt, he’s in good spirits. The doctor said with one month of rest, he’ll be as lively as a dragon and tiger again."

Shang Ruyi let out a long sigh of relief.

In fact, after the affair in the Taiji Palace ended yesterday, she wanted to visit the Shen Family to check on her uncle, but then the outbreak of the epidemic came, making it inappropriate to visit. Now hearing from Pei Xingyuan that Shen Shiyan was fine, she could finally set her heart at ease.

Yu Wenye also said, "That’s good."

Pei Xingyuan then said, "After that, I found Fu Ming, asking him to come along with me since he’s been quite concerned about his little sister."

Yu Wenye’s expression darkened slightly.

Shang Ruyi quickly asked, "Then he—"

Pei Xingyuan snorted and said, "But he said something about how you were both busy with major affairs all day yesterday, surely exhausted, and even if you rested at night, you wouldn’t sleep well. So he decided not to come today to disturb you, and even told me not to come, lest we disturb your rest. Hmph, fake proper."

"..."

"See, I came over, and yet you both are already up."

Shang Ruyi exchanged a glance with Yu Wenye, and both of them couldn’t help but laugh.

Yu Wenye impatiently said, "Then why did you come over so early? Just to steal our meal?"
