Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Yueli's words left Lu Yunfei momentarily speechless, unsure whether to be angry or amused.

How could she be so narcissistic?

So shameless! Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?

Of course, Lu Yunfei would never make fun of Chu Yueli; at this moment, he was still trembling with fear.

"No, that's not true. I only consider you my fourth sister-in-law," he said expressionlessly, trying his best to make his tone sound completely devoid of emotion.

But only he knew that he was so nervous that every muscle in his body was taut, and his heart was about to jump out of his mouth.

He truly never expected that Chu Yueli would suddenly say such a thing to him.

"Are you nervous?" Chu Yueli tilted her head to look at him.

"No……"

"Then why are you sweating so much on your forehead? Don't tell me it's too hot today, you should be wearing more clothes by now."

Chu Yueli tapped her long fingers on the table casually: "Yunfei, we are family, and we will spend our whole lives together. You often avoid me, which means you are also avoiding your fourth brother. Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Lu Yunfei remained silent.

It's so painful, so really painful, so painful that sometimes I lie in bed alone and toss and turn, unable to sleep.

But so what? He could never get over the knot in his heart.

Why would someone like me? Is it really just because I'm good-looking?

"I don't like you, Fourth Princess Consort. Please don't make wild guesses. I..."

“Look me in the eyes and tell me you have absolutely no feelings for me!” Chu Yueli suddenly stood up and strode over to him.

In just a split second, she was already in front of him.

The close proximity startled Lu Yunfei, who instinctively tried to back away.

But she followed his steps closely; when he took a step back, Chu Yueli took a step forward.

Finally, Lu Yunfei crashed into the chair, with nowhere left to retreat.

"What on earth are you going to do?"

"Yunfei, do you really like me? How about we go out and spend some time together?"

"What...what nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Yunfei was so anxious that he almost wanted to tear apart the chair and wall behind him and run away by crashing into the wall.

What nonsense is she spouting? She's the Fourth Prince's woman!

She actually wants to go out and live with me? Isn't that a betrayal of my fourth brother? Let alone actually doing it, even just thinking about it makes me feel sorry for my fourth brother.

"What's wrong? Don't you like me? Don't you want to travel around with me and live a good life?"

Chu Yueli took another step forward, her expression now serious and earnest.

“Yunfei, I’m not joking with you. There’s nothing wrong with you, Fourth Brother, about this. I’ve already packed my bags and I’m ready to leave anytime.”

"Fourth Imperial Sister-in-law..."

"From this moment on, call me Ali." Chu Yueli grabbed his sleeve and actually pulled him out the door.

Her bundle was indeed packed and hung on a tree in the yard.

They really came prepared.

"Yunfei, let's go!"

Even the horses are ready.

Chu Yueli leaped onto her horse, looked down at Lu Yunfei, and the smile between her brows was more beautiful than anything in the world.

"Quick! Leave now, and once we're out of the city, we can find a good place to stargaze."

She looked up at the sky, her smile more radiant than the stars: "Shall we find a beautiful place and watch the stars and the moon together?"
