Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Lu Fengjin withdrew his gaze, walked to the seat belonging to the Prince Jin's residence, and sat down.

He refused to look even half a glance in the direction of the Duke's mansion.

However, Tuoba Feiyuan was still standing to the side, showing no intention of sitting down.

Lu Fengjin frowned slightly: "What's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell?"

After being flogged, she lay in bed for several days to recover, and it was only in the last two days that she was able to walk with difficulty.

Lu Fengjin had originally advised her to rest for a couple more days, but she insisted on coming along, so he didn't object.

Tuoba Feiyuan lowered her head, glared at him, and said somewhat dejectedly, "Don't you think I'm a little different today?"

Lu Fengjin looked her up and down.

She had dressed up specially for today, with makeup on her face and an exquisite look. She was wearing a bright purple court dress, which Lu Fengjin saw when she went out and thought was very beautiful.

He even praised it at the time.

But at this moment, not far away was the Duke's mansion, and that woman... that Chu Yue Li, who was dressed in a simple outfit and without makeup, was sitting within his line of sight. It seemed that no matter where he looked, he could see her figure out of the corner of his eye.

That delicate little face was so white it seemed to glow!

It's hard to ignore.

Any woman standing next to her would immediately be overshadowed.

Tuoba Feiyuan, who was originally quite good-looking, suddenly looked... a bit dark, and rather dull, next to Chu Yueli...

"I like you, not because of your looks. Sit down." He tried to make his tone gentle.

Tuoba Feiyuan's dress was too brightly colored; her skin wasn't fair enough, so the dress made her skin look even darker.

If I had known, I would have just had her wear her usual outfit.

But her outfit, it just felt, lacked a certain allure...

Out of the corner of Lu Fengjin's eye, he saw Chu Yueli talking to Chu Xiaohe, and he couldn't help but glance at them again.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and blocked his view.

"After seeing it for so many years, inside and out, aren't you tired of it yet?" Tuoba Feiyuan was furious.

Lu Fengjin's handsome face darkened, and he said unhappily, "What nonsense are you spouting now?"

"Am I wrong? She's just pretty, and she uses her charm to seduce men all day long. Only shallow men like you would fall for that! If you had any self-control, you wouldn't have kept staring at her all day!"

"Shut up!" Tuoba Feiyuan spoke without trying to lower his voice at all, and everyone around heard it!

Lu Fengjin felt utterly humiliated!

His tone unconsciously became a little impatient.

Tuoba Feiyuan, who already had a bad temper, was instantly enraged: "Lu Fengjin, you're telling me to shut up? You're the one who peeks at other women, and you're telling me to shut up?"

The angry, raised voice silenced the surroundings for a moment.

Half of the people around were afraid of Prince Jin's status and dared not utter a sound, for fear that if the prince got angry, they would offend him and incur his wrath.

Half the people, however, were just watching the show.

Tuoba Feiyuan's deeds are known throughout the capital. She is now truly famous and is the focus of attention wherever she goes.

Of course, the reason for the attention is to see them make fools of themselves.

Lu Fengjin wasn't oblivious; everyone's eyes, whether openly or secretly, were fixed on this direction.

His anger flared up instantly.

Why can't this girl learn to shut up? Does she have to make him lose face before she's satisfied?

On one occasion, he found her to be very straightforward and endearing.

He tolerated it both times.

Three times, he finally lost his patience!
