Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"So, Your Highness has come to talk to me about annulling the engagement?" Chu Yueli's face remained calm and composed.

But the ten fingers hidden in the sleeve slowly became taut.

The sharp nails seemed to be digging into the flesh of my palm, causing a slight stinging pain. However, because of the pain in my heart, that little pain in my palm became less important.

Her fiancé came to her looking distressed and told her that he had fallen for another girl and wanted her to comfort him as she used to.

Ah, the world is so vast, there are countless wonders.

It's truly ironic.

The words "announcement of engagement" struck Lu Fengjin's heart with immense and profound pain.

"How could that be! How could I break off our engagement? I could never leave you in my entire life!"

He was very excited and grabbed Chu Yueli's hand again.

This time, I gripped it tighter and with more force than ever before.

Chu Yueli's fingernails were originally facing her palm, and when he gripped her hand like that, the entire fingernail was deeply embedded in her flesh.

It hurts terribly, but I feel like I don't feel anything at all.

She looked at Lu Fengjin and asked calmly, "So, what exactly did Your Highness want to say to me tonight?"

"Ah Li, please don't treat me so coldly. After all these years of relationship, can't we even overcome this little setback?"

He held her hand while picking up the bottle and chugging down half of it.

Finally, he smashed the bottle on the table, pressed his fingertips against his forehead, closed his eyes, and looked pained.

"I don't know what's wrong with me. She's so ugly, so thin and small, not even a fraction as good as you, but every night when I close my eyes, her eyes appear in my mind."

"Those big, watery eyes were full of arrogance. How dare she be so cocky when she saw me! What a fool who isn't afraid of death."

He was swearing, but his handsome, thin lips unconsciously curled up slightly.

But he didn't realize he was laughing; he still seemed to be in pain: "Perhaps she's different from any other girl I've ever met. She won't fawn over me or flatter me, she won't always obey me, and in fact, her rebellious nature often makes me so angry I want to kill someone!"

"Perhaps that's why I can't forget her." Lu Fengjin closed his eyes tightly, finally returning to reality.

He opened his eyes and looked at Chu Yueli, saying softly, "Ali, give me some time, I will forget her! I promised you that I would only love you in this life, and I, Lu Fengjin, will always keep my word! Ali, believe me!"

"Okay." Chu Yueli said calmly, pulling her hand back and looking at the man she had liked for many years.

When she was very young, at the age of eight, he rescued her from a fire. From that day on, she told herself that she would marry no one but him.

He was only twelve years old at the time, but he was already a young hero, full of vigor and ambition!

Chu Yueli really liked him.

To keep up with him, Chu Yueli learned various skills from a young age. In addition to playing the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, she also desperately learned everything that could be used on the battlefield.

But he said he likes gentle women.

So even though she studies hard, she won't flaunt it in front of him, much less show it off.

In his eyes, she had always been a gentle and graceful girl, well-educated, tender, and delicate.

But today, he said he's fallen for a flamboyant and arrogant young girl...

Chu Yueli stood up, looked down at the somewhat drunk Lu Fengjin, and said calmly, "Then please, Your Highness, restrain your thoughts after you return."

“I know you’re still angry, Ali, but I will keep my word.” Lu Fengjin stood up and looked at her stunning face under the moonlight.

"Give me some time, and I'm sure I can forget her and bring you back into my heart! I'll definitely fall in love with you again!"
