Resisting the Wind and Splendor

That's something I don't want!

Chu Yueli became anxious: "Whether it's my boudoir or this place, it's all my courtyard! Your Highness, how can I, a young lady from a humble family, allow you to spend the night in my courtyard?"

"So you want me to sleep in your boudoir?" Lu Beimo's voice was even lower and deeper, with a slight nasal tone, making him sound like he was about to fall asleep.

Chu Yueli was both angry and anxious; she had never seen such a shameless man before!

"Your Highness has so casually ruined my reputation, and you will never actually marry me in the future. Does Your Highness really not care about my life or death at all? What difference is there between Your Highness and them?"

She thought he would at least get angry, and if he did, he would quickly leave in a huff, and they would never cross paths again.

But to his surprise, Lu Beimo showed no sign of being angry at all.

He even gave a disdainful smile: "Why bother with all those formalities and worldly rules? I've said it before, if you feel uncomfortable staying in the capital, then I'll go to the northern frontier."

"Your Highness, do you still plan to return to the Northern Frontier?" Chu Yueli was stunned. This was the second time she had heard Lu Beimo say that he would take her back to the Northern Frontier in the future.

But he is the King of Ink, and now he is a top contender for the throne. What is he going back to the Northern Frontier for?

Once back in the northern frontier, he could only become a vassal king.

Chu Yue Li certainly wouldn't dare say these things, as she still didn't know whether King Mo was a friend or foe.

Looking at Lu Beimo again, his eyes were closed and his breathing was even. She could even hear the faint snoring coming from the tip of his nose.

Really fell asleep!

On her stone bench, which was too short for him to stretch out his legs!

Chu Yueli had never felt so helpless when facing someone.

He is not afraid of being ridiculed, threatened, or bribed; he is completely impervious to reason.

There's absolutely nothing we can do about him!

Finally, she could only run out from under the pavilion, glare at the big tree in the distance, and say unhappily, "Can't you control your prince?"

Jing Lei leaped down from the tree and landed lightly in front of her, saying helplessly, "Miss Li, I have never dared to interfere with my master's affairs."

"He's sleeping in the courtyard of an unmarried girl, and you don't care?" Chu Yueli's usual composure was completely shattered tonight by Lu Beimo.

Jing Lei didn't seem to care: "This matter is only known to the three of us. I won't tell anyone."

Chu Yueli really wanted to roll her eyes at him.

Does not saying anything mean that this never happened?

But Jing Lei had another idea: "If the young lady is afraid of being gossiped about, she should just agree to marry my prince."

"I don't know why you always joke about such things, but I can say for sure that the Emperor would never allow a girl who broke off her engagement with his son to marry his other son. Has your prince ever thought about this?"

She looked serious, but Jing Lei also looked earnest: "His Highness has thought about it."

"He thought about it?" Chu Yueli was somewhat surprised. Jing Lei's eyes didn't seem fake.

"Of course Your Highness has thought about it. Although Your Highness has not told us your plans, I have been by Your Highness's side for so many years and I know Your Highness's temperament well."

Jing Lei looked at Chu Yueli with a serious and sincere expression.

"Please trust the prince, young lady. He has said he wants to marry you, and he will definitely find a way to bring you back to the palace in a proper and grand manner, without ever mistreating you in the slightest!"

His genuine attitude made Chu Yueli unable to bring herself to refute him.

The problem is, no matter what the King of Ink could do, she never wanted to marry him!

She and Lu Beimo had never spent any time together, so how could there be any feelings between them?

It's utterly unreasonable that they've stuck with her like this!

Is there anyone who can control this shameless prince?
