Resisting the Wind and Splendor

This time, Lu Yunfei really thought it over carefully.

Finally, he shook his head: "No."

"Why?" Chu Yueli wasn't angry; she was just asking very seriously.

Lu Yunfei lowered his eyes, looking at an unknown corner. After an unknown amount of time, he said, "I... am not your ideal man. Even without the Fourth Prince, you would not have fallen in love with me."

"So insecure about yourself?" Chu Yueli glanced at him and laughed, "Is it really necessary? You're a stunningly handsome man, in terms of looks and figure, how are you inferior to your fourth brother?"

He's so handsome he doesn't even realize it. Does he know how many girls in northern Xinjiang have been completely captivated by him since he came here?

These days, she's been driven crazy by matchmakers trying to arrange marriages for her.

Unfortunately, Consort Yu was someone who loved to travel around and was never around. As her sister-in-law, Consort Yu truly lived up to the saying "an elder sister-in-law is like a mother." Over the years, countless matchmakers sought her out.

But Lu Yunfei didn't even bother to glance at any of the girls who came.

Sometimes girls would deliberately try to ambush him, or even create accidents to get close to him, and some were even injured by him.

It wasn't that the Ninth Prince was too rude, but rather, in his view, those unexpected events were very likely assassinations.

There's no need to be soft-hearted towards assassins.

I don't know if I'm just naturally lacking in emotional intelligence.

This situation continued until Chu Yueli realized that he was indeed treating her somewhat differently.

It wasn't just respect for the Fourth Princess Consort; it was more of a conflicted feeling of wanting to get close yet forcing oneself to stay away.

Don't you know how charming you are?

Chu Yueli's words made Lu Yunfei blush again.

But after blushing, she still firmly shook her head: "I'm not someone you can like. No, I should say you could never like me, no matter how we meet."

"So convinced?" Chu Yueli returned to her seat and lay down. "Really?"

Lu Yunfei did not answer the question, but seeing that she began to look at the night sky above, he also focused his attention on the night sky.

Regardless of whether it's truly achievable, at least it should be done this way.

"I'm a little sleepy, Yunfei. I'm going to take a nap first. We'll go to the snow mountain tomorrow."

After Chu Yueli finished speaking, she turned to the side, closed her eyes, and said nothing more.

Lu Yunfei thought she said she was sleepy just to avoid facing his embarrassment.

In fact, he knew very well that the reason for saying that he wanted to spend some time with him was just to help him resolve his inner conflict.

Actually, there's really no need for that.

not worth it.

He always manages to find a way to untangle his inner knots.

He hesitated, wondering whether he should wake Chu Yueli and return to Jiangbei City instead.

Only when I'm home can I get a good night's sleep.

How could anyone fall asleep in such a cold and uncomfortable place?

But to his utter surprise, Chu Yueli's breathing actually became even shortly after she lay down.

Fell asleep?

He hesitated for a long time, but didn't see much change in Chu Yueli's aura. Finally, after half an hour, he was completely certain that she had really fallen asleep.

In this desolate place?

In such cold weather, aren't you afraid of getting cold if you just fall asleep like this?

Moreover, there are bound to be wild beasts and wolves in this wilderness; she is truly daring.

Or perhaps, she trusted him enough to sleep soundly knowing he was by her side.
