Resisting the Wind and Splendor

A breeze was blowing at that moment.

Chu Yueli's long hair was tied up, her black hair flying in the wind, and her clothes fluttering as she walked away, making Lu Fengjin's heart tighten.

Although he disliked her methods and scheming, he could not find another person with such an outstanding appearance in the entire capital.

Even if he doesn't favor Ah Li, he must keep her confined in his cage and never let her be tainted by other men.

Lu Fengjin quickened his pace: "Ali..."

He suddenly stopped walking.

He saw clearly who was sitting opposite Chu Yueli.

"Fourth...Imperial Brother?" Lu Fengjin was completely dumbfounded. "When...did you return?"

"I returned to the capital last night and have already met with Father Emperor." Lu Beimo's tall figure sat on the stone bench, sunlight streaming down, casting a long shadow on the ground.

After several years, he still seemed to be the same fourth prince.

He possessed an innate ferocity, was profound and enigmatic, and exuded a chilling aura; most people would probably not dare to look him in the eye.

Lu Fengjin's attention quickly fell on his face.

He wore a half-mask on his face; it was terrifying!

Seeing his mask, Lu Fengjin's confidence returned.

In terms of talent and looks, Prince Jin is the best in the capital. He has nothing to be humble about in front of Lu Beimo.

"Ah Li, you invited the Fourth Prince as a guest, why didn't you tell me? I could have come and had a few drinks with him!"

Seeing that Chu Yueli's face was somewhat pale, Lu Fengjin knew that the arrival of his fourth brother was probably also unexpected for A-Li.

Chu Yueli was indeed somewhat uneasy. The mask on Mo Wang's face kept reminding her that she was the one who led him into that battlefield, which caused his disfigurement.

He met the Emperor the night before he returned to the capital, and came to see her early the next morning. If you said he had no other purpose, no one would believe you.

However, Lu Fengjin's words made her laugh.

"If Your Highness wishes to invite Prince Mo for drinks and conversation, you should invite Prince Mo to Prince Jin's residence. What does this have to do with my Duke's mansion? Why are you blaming me?"

Lu Fengjin froze.

This girl is still angry!

But with a formidable enemy at hand, shouldn't they unite against it first?

"It seems that Miss Li and the Fifth Prince aren't as good as the rumors suggest," Lu Beimo suddenly said with a smile. "So, Miss Li, what do you think of my suggestion?"

Chu Yueli's once flawless face turned even paler.

Lu Fengjin's expression darkened, and he showed obvious hostility towards Lu Beimo: "Fourth brother, we should resolve our own affairs. Why make things difficult for a little girl? A-Li doesn't understand anything; she's just..."

"Fifth Prince, you misunderstand. I came to the Duke's mansion today to discuss matters between myself and Miss Li, and it has nothing to do with you, Fifth Prince."

Lu Beimo suddenly stood up.

His imposing figure became even more intimidating as he stood up.

Chu Yueli felt that all the light on her body was completely blocked by his body.

And she was completely enveloped in his shadow.

The Ink King's aura is truly awe-inspiring.

“Miss Li, this small gift represents my heartfelt wishes. I hope you will accept it. After I return to my residence and settle things, I will visit you again another day.”

After Lu Beimo finished speaking, he turned to Lu Fengjin and said, "Fifth brother, I have some business to attend to today and cannot stay long. If you would like to have a drink with me, you are welcome to come to the Mo Prince's residence anytime!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Zisu stood not far away and saw Mo Wang pass by. His intimidatingly cold aura frightened Zisu so much that she quickly lowered her head and bowed, not daring to breathe loudly!

Several years ago, King Mo was already a fearsome war demon on the battlefield. Now, after returning from pacifying the northern frontier, he has become even more menacing.

When you get close, even your heart starts to tremble slightly, and you feel an instinctive fear.

That's... terrifying!

Lu Fengjin looked at the wooden box on the table. After Lu Beimo walked away, he stared at Chu Yueli and asked, "Did Fourth Brother come to see you because of that battle? What did he say to you?"

It was clear that Chu Yueli was also unsettled.

Lu Fengjin had known Chu Yueli for so many years, and he rarely saw such unease in her eyes.

Fourth brother, did you really scare her?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Fengjin called out again, "Ali?"

Chu Yueli then came to her senses, raised her eyes to meet his gaze, and said calmly, "If I said that Prince Mo has come to propose marriage, would you believe me?"
