Resisting the Wind and Splendor

He was still the same Prince Jin, yet he seemed to have changed.

In the past, Lu Fengjin was full of vigor and arrogance, but tonight, sitting in front of Chu Yueli was a man with a sorrowful face, heartbroken.

He was even somewhat disheartened.

Chu Yueli was pouring him wine.

Lu Fengjin still came to her whenever he had something on his mind, whether he was happy or unhappy, he would confide in her.

Tonight, I'm clearly unhappy.

After drinking several glasses of strong liquor, Lu Fengjin looked at Chu Yueli and asked softly, "Is General Chu's injury any better?"

"Alright." Chu Yueli replied indifferently, her cold face devoid of any expression.

Lu Fengjin knew that this kind of injury could never be healed.

He gently held Chu Yueli's hand: "Ali, don't be angry with me. I was wrong that day. I shouldn't have been harsh with you."

In fact, he has been very good to Chu Yueli over the years.

Even if he were to be harsh with her, or even just speak to her in a slightly harsh tone, he would immediately apologize.

He never even referred to himself as "this king" in front of her, except for that time three days ago.

Chu Yueli lowered her eyes, instinctively wanting to pull her hand back.

Lu Fengjin held her hand even tighter: "Ali, you really... don't be angry with me. I don't know why I've become like this."

"How has it changed?" Chu Yueli stared at his face.

His face and eyes were filled with pain, and he was at a loss.

He is none other than Prince Jin, the God of War of Dongling! He has fought countless battles, big and small, and experienced all kinds of storms. Even if Mount Tai collapses before him, he can remain calm and composed.

When have I seen him in such a predicament?

"Ah Li, you are the only one in my heart." Lu Fengjin suddenly said, "It was true before, it is true now, and it will be true in the future. Our marriage will definitely not change! Ah Li, we will get married next month. From now on, I will only love you."

If it were the Chu Yueli of the past who heard these words, she would definitely be deeply moved.

But after that day, after seeing the murderous intent that rose in his eyes, she suddenly felt, for some reason, that nothing he said had any meaning anymore.

"Ah Li, are you unhappy?" Chu Yue Li's calmness made Lu Feng Jin's mood even heavier.

Chu Yueli raised an eyebrow, seemingly puzzled: "Why should I be happy? Isn't this a promise you made to me before? Why is Your Highness repeating it now?"

Was he speaking to her in this way, or was he subtly reminding himself of something else?

This time, Lu Fengjin avoided her gaze. After letting go of her hand, he picked up his wine and slowly drank it again.

Chu Yueli was losing patience; she needed to go back and take care of Zisu and her older brother.

Lu Fengjin could see her impatience, and his frustration intensified. She would never have treated him like this before.

"Ah Li, can I confide in you about my troubles? Can we still be like before?" Why has he loved Chu Yue Li for so many years? It's because no matter what he goes through, she will never abandon him.

When he was punished for accidentally offending his father, everyone around him turned to curry favor with his fourth brother, but only Ali stayed by his side forever.

She was like his harbor; no matter what storms he encountered, he would feel at ease as long as he returned to her side.

This time, he also hoped to be able to return to her side and catch his breath.

"Ah Li, I think... I think I've fallen for that brat."
