Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"Then, Princess, are you really not leaving tomorrow?" Xiao Shijiu still had a sliver of hope, although, as things stand now, the hope is not very great.

"Why are you so nervous? Are you really reluctant to let me go?" Yuwen Ying glanced at him.

“Of course, Princess is my good friend, so naturally I don’t want you to leave.” Xiao Shijiu said sincerely.

Now that the princess has left, who knows when she will return, or perhaps she will never come to the Northern Frontier again.

From now on, he will lose this good friend.

How can I not feel sad?

“But I can’t stay here forever. If I stay here, I’ll just be a joke.” Yuwen Ying pouted.

She is rarely unhappy.

Over the years, she has been unhappy only a handful of times, because she is very good at regulating her emotions.

There's nothing to be unhappy about. When you're unhappy, just think about happy things.

Just like she said, life is only a few decades long, and every day that passes is one less day, so why not spend every day happily?

But right now, she's really unhappy.

Even Xiao Shijiu could sense her disappointment.

"Do you and the Ninth Prince really have no chance?"

"He still wants to push me onto you. Do you think there's any chance for me and him?" Yuwen Ying almost rolled her eyes at him.

No, the person she wanted to roll her eyes at was Lu Yunfei.

I thought about it for a long time, and I wanted to yell at him, hit him, and glare at him!

“Princess, you seem to harbor a lot of resentment.” Xiao Shijiu saw through it at a glance.

"How can I not resent it?" I was really angry, very, very angry!

“He doesn’t like me, and I’ve accepted that. He won’t want me anyway. But he can choose not to have me, but he can’t just push me onto another man. What right does he have?”

"Yes, what right does he have? It's your own life, you should be in charge of it!" Even Xiao Shijiu felt that the Ninth Prince had gone too far this time!

Knowing full well that Princess Yingying liked him, he actually wanted to push the princess onto him...

"But then again, if you're willing, I wouldn't mind at all, no, I'd be more than happy to!" Xiao Shijiu laughed heartily.

Yuwen Ying couldn't help but kick him in the calf: "Are you helping him bully me too? Is it because I'm all alone here that anyone can bully me?"

"How could I dare to bully you? Aren't you afraid of beating me to death?" Xiao Shijiu subconsciously dodged, but didn't actually dodge.

She casually dodged a couple of steps, but was still kicked several more times. This finally eased some of the resentment in Yuwen Ying's heart.

"Look, Princess, you are so beautiful, kind, and of the highest quality. To be able to marry you is a blessing earned through countless lifetimes. It's just that the Ninth Prince doesn't know how to cherish you. I know very well how to cherish you, but unfortunately, Princess, you don't like me."

Xiao Shijiu smiled, and it was unclear whether he was serious or joking.

However, this appearance doesn't look serious at all.

Although it was unconventional, it could cheer Yuwen Ying up.

"If he weren't so good-looking, I might have actually fallen for you." But there are no "ifs" in this world.

From the moment she first saw Lu Yunfei, she had already fallen in love with that exceptionally handsome man.

Although Prince Mo was also very handsome and peerless, he was not Yuwen Ying's type.

Prince Mo is too cold and aloof.

Lu Yunfei was different. Although he was also cold, he was aloof, distant, and indifferent, with a touch of melancholy.

That one meeting back then ruined my life. If I had known this would happen, and had never met you, perhaps I wouldn't be so heartbroken now.

Perhaps, everything is preordained.
