Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Yuwen Ying kept her word and, after that night, she truly stopped bothering Lu Yunfei.

For the next two days, Yuwen Ying did not appear in Lu Yunfei's sight again.

Today is the third day, which is the penultimate day since Yuwen Ying agreed to follow General He back to Nanmeng.

Tomorrow, we should set off.

She didn't go to Lu Yunfei; instead, it was Lu Yunfei who took the initiative to come to her today.

“Actually, if you want to stay here, you don’t necessarily have to leave.” These were the first words Lu Yunfei said to Yuwen Ying after they met.

Yuwen Ying was so shocked she couldn't react for a moment: "What does the Ninth Prince mean? You want to keep me here?"

Could it be that I slept too late last night and couldn't sleep well, resulting in not only blurred vision but also hearing loss?

Try to keep her?

Isn't it that you just want to pack her up and throw her back to Southern Mongolia as quickly as possible?

It's been more than four years, and even Yuwen Ying herself can feel his growing distance at all times.

Trying to persuade them to stay? That's like the sun rising in the west.

"You... and Xiao Shijiu are not very close?" Lu Yunfei just felt that if Yuwen Ying and Xiao Shijiu really had feelings for each other, then it wouldn't be a bad thing for her to stay for Shijiu's sake.

"What...do you mean by that?" Yuwen Ying's eyes darkened slightly.

“I don’t mean anything by it. If you like staying in the northern frontier, you can actually consider staying for the sake of the Nineteenth Army.”

"What does this have to do with Nineteen?" Yuwen Ying asked, but it seemed she had already figured it out.

I just don't understand why he's so meddlesome.

Is he afraid that she will come up with an excuse to stay, just like every time before, saying she'll stay until the end but not actually leaving, and continuing to pester him?

So Lu Yunfei's idea now is to push her to someone else first, so that he can eliminate any future troubles?

Yuwen Ying's mood plummeted to rock bottom in an instant.

She could accept that he had no feelings for her and was unwilling to grow old with her, but how could she accept that he would push her away to another man?

"Ninth Prince." Xiao Shijiu was carrying a large cloth bag and happened to walk over from not far away.

After giving Lu Yunfei a salute, he looked at Yuwen Ying and said, "Princess Yingying, I have prepared some food for you. Have your servants take it with you so you can eat it slowly on the way."

"I might not even leave tomorrow, so why are you preparing all this for me?" Yuwen Ying lowered her eyes, a bitter smile flashing across them.

Xiao Shijiu was taken aback: "Not leaving?"

Immediately, her face lit up with a smile: "You're really not leaving? That's wonderful! I was really afraid I wouldn't see you again!"

He was very happy, but he gradually noticed that something was wrong with Yuwen Ying's aura.

"Princess Yingying? What... happened?"

Xiao Shijiu glanced at Yuwen Ying, then at Lu Yunfei, still not understanding what was going on between the two.

Did you have a fight?

However, the princess's decision to stay must be related to the Ninth Prince. Since she has decided not to leave, why is she arguing?

Nineteen was so frightened that she dared not breathe and wished she could disappear as soon as possible.

He shouldn't have shown up at a time like this. Why did he have to come and deliver something at this time?

Lu Yunfei remained silent, and Yuwen Ying did not utter a sound.

Feeling superfluous, Nineteen could only manage a dry laugh before cautiously saying, "Um, I... I have something to do..."

Looking at the cloth bag in her hand again, her smile became even more awkward: "Since the princess isn't leaving, then I'll take these back and eat them myself, hehe."
