Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Some things, if said by Lu Fengjin, would be inappropriate and unseemly.

However, if it came from Tuoba Feiyuan's mouth, Lu Fengjin would not feel embarrassed at all; on the contrary, it would make Chu Yueli feel particularly awkward.

He laughed and said, "How could I know? Fourth Princess's thoughts have always been hard to fathom. Only she knows what she wants to do."

"Does Fifth Brother intend to continue speaking to me like this? I thought that after getting married, Fifth Brother would become more mature and composed." Chu Yueli said expressionlessly.

Lu Fengjin's face immediately darkened, and the anger in his chest burned even brighter: "What do you mean?"

"Fifth Brother, let's not beat around the bush. I came to see you tonight on official business. If you insist on wasting my time with this attitude, then I will come another day."

She stood up.

Lu Fengjin's face instantly turned extremely ugly: "Does Fourth Sister-in-law think that my Prince Jin's Mansion is a place you can come and go as you please?"

"Does Fifth Prince intend to use force to keep me here? Ninth Prince knows I'm here tonight, and if I don't go back, he'll come looking for me."

"You come to my place and you still have to be on guard at every turn!" Lu Fengjin was also angry, and suddenly stood up, glaring at her.

She stood up too quickly and forgot that Tuoba Feiyuan was still holding her arm.

As they moved together, Tuoba Feiyuan was pulled along and almost fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry..." Lu Fengjin's apology was sincere.

Given Tuoba Feiyuan's temperament, he should have been furious long ago.

But Tuoba Feiyuan was very calm tonight. He simply shook his head and continued to sit quietly in his seat without saying a word.

It was as if she was waiting for him to give her instructions: whether to stay and continue acting alongside him, or to leave immediately.

It seems that she is willing to do anything he asks her to do, no matter what it is.

Even Chu Yueli was quite surprised by Tuoba Feiyuan's change.

She used to be so arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone, and even dared to beat the desert flower of Prince Jin in public. After her body was ruined, she seemed to have completely become a different person.

However, having endured such great suffering, if one does not change oneself, one will likely suffer even more in the future.

Lu Fengjin couldn't help but glance at Tuoba Feiyuan a few more times, and felt inexplicably sad.

Recalling her former high spirits and now her dejected, haggard, and pitiful appearance, it still stirred his compassion.

"Feiyuan, you go back first."

"Yes." Tuoba Feiyuan stood up, bowed to him, and then turned to leave.

Just as she reached the door, she heard Lu Fengjin's voice behind her: "Tomorrow, I'll take you out for a walk."

Tuoba Feiyuan was startled and turned around abruptly to look at him with disbelief.

"Ah, Ah Jin... what you said, is it... true?"

His surprised and excited expression made Lu Fengjin feel even more guilty.

She had indeed made some mistakes in the past, but overall, her feelings for him were genuine.

The woman he pursued no longer wanted to give him a second glance, and the woman he married was merely using him.

Only Tuoba Feiyuan was willing to use her own body to shield him from hidden weapons, and was even willing to give up her life for him.

He may not really like her anymore, but he still feels a sense of responsibility towards her.

Now, this sense of responsibility has suddenly surged again.

Lu Fengjin sighed inwardly, nodded to her, and said, "Really."
