Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 760 - 584: Two Souls, Utterly Sincere to Each Other_3

Yu Wenye closed his eyes and said softly, "That, is the most important thing..."

After a while, they returned to the Duke Mansion.

The sky quickly darkened, and the Duke Mansion extinguished its lights even earlier than usual, seemingly to create a facade of peace and uneventfulness. Yu Wenquan didn’t even go to the study to read as he usually would; he retired early to his room and went to bed.

However, everyone knew that at this moment within the Imperial City, the deployment of the Left and Right Brave Guards had already begun. Although everyone knew that the Little Emperor had no troops at his disposal and that he would have no choice at tomorrow’s court session, no matter what the officials said, precautions still needed to be in place to ensure everything went smoothly.

Thus, even in the silent night, it seemed that countless undercurrents were in motion.

Making one restless.

Shang Ruyi finished her bath and returned to her room, just in time to see Mu Xian leaving in a hurry, likely having escorted the Empress Dowager back to the palace and now reporting back to Yu Wenye.

Shang Ruyi asked, "The Empress Dowager, is everything alright?"

Yu Wenye, who had also just finished bathing, was dressed in plain casual clothes, sitting by the bed. Hearing this, he looked up at her.

The room was only lit by a single lamp, the light somewhat dim. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

But his eyes, they were particularly bright, even flickering intensely at that moment.

He said, "It’s fine."

Shang Ruyi nodded, "That’s good."

Having said that, she walked in. Fearing Yu Wenye would reprimand her again, she had instructed Tushere to dry her hair in the bathroom after bathing, so now it was only slightly damp. She sat at the vanity, combing her hair in the copper mirror.

Perhaps it was because all the windows and doors were tightly shut, the room felt a bit warm.

Shang Ruyi glanced at the table; the incense burner wasn’t lit. Sniffing the room’s scent, it seemed more like the faint warmth exuded from Yu Wenye’s body after his bath. His body temperature was inherently high, and whenever he bathed, he would bring back a rush of warmth, especially in summer, making it unbearable.

Yet it was clearly already autumn, and the weather had started cooling. Tonight’s temperature was inexplicably high.

Shang Ruyi thought for a moment, then put down her comb and went to the window, preparing to open it for some fresh air.

Just as she stretched out her hand, a wave of heat enveloped her from behind. Before she could turn around, her back was pressed against a scorching chest, making her shiver slightly.

It was Yu Wenye!

He suddenly came up behind her, reaching out to grasp her wrist.

"Hmm?"

Shang Ruyi was startled, not yet realizing, her whole body was pulled backward, falling into his embrace. Those arms, like red-hot iron tongs, swiftly wrapped around her waist, pulling her tightly against him.

Shang Ruyi froze, "What are you doing?"

"..."

The person behind her did not speak, only tightened his embrace, as if wanting to embed her slender body into his.

To prove something.

Although Shang Ruyi didn’t know what he wanted to prove, in these busy days, they lived ascetically; even when sharing a bed, it was merely to catch up on sleep, to conserve energy for the challenges ahead. Yet this sudden closeness, it was as if Shang Ruyi was thrown into a smelter, her blood rushing, leaving her bewildered yet seemingly igniting a flame within her heart.

An indescribable emotion surged within her.

She seemed to understand.

The body that shivered due to the scalding temperature now trembled even more intensely with a different warmth rising from the depths of her heart. When she spoke again, her hoarse voice trembled gently.

"Feng Chen..."

These words made Yu Wenye’s breath deepen.

And as Shang Ruyi uttered these words, her cheeks flushed with color, embraced so tightly she almost couldn’t breathe, yet she made no effort to struggle, simply leaning softly against that heated embrace.

Once more, she softly said, "Feng Chen."

These words seemed to ignite something completely, and she heard a low growl-like breath beside her ear. Suddenly, the world spun, and she was lifted by those strong arms, carried in just a few steps into the inner chamber, the heated body falling onto the soft bed.

An even hotter body pressed down.
