Resisting the Wind and Splendor

An hour later, Chu Yueli boarded the carriage.

Lu Yunfei drove the car himself.

Another carriage, loaded with gifts, was driven by Liuyun and Zisu.

Not long after leaving the Prince's mansion, Chu Yueli got out of the carriage and sat with Lu Yunfei in the front room.

The wind wasn't strong at first, but once the carriage started moving, it began to pick up.

Lu Yunfei took off his robe and covered her legs with it, then focused on driving without saying a word.

Chu Yueli turned her head and glanced at him.

His profile, like that of his fourth brother, appears quite cold and aloof at first glance, which adds a touch of mystery.

It looks good no matter how you look at it.

He's a handsome young man, a sight to behold once in a lifetime.

Just by looking at the girls on the street staring at him with utter infatuation, you can tell that if this guy grows up in two more years, his charm will be no less than that of his fourth brother, and who knows how many more girls will be head over heels for him.

Qin Muxue has been infatuated with him for so many years.

Ugh.

"Are you feeling better now?" she asked, her voice softer than before, a far cry from her previous nonchalant attitude.

Lu Yunfei paused for a moment, looked down at her, hesitated for a second, and then nodded: "I know she likes me, but I've always only ever thought of her as a younger sister."

Therefore, even knowing that Qin Muxue still harbors feelings for him, he cannot change his feelings for her.

"I will remember her for the rest of my life, but it won't affect anything I do in the future," he said earnestly.

Chu Yueli smiled, almost unable to resist patting his head and smoothing his hair.

This child is still the same as always; he's straightforward and has his own yardstick for measuring everything.

"That's good. She doesn't actually want much. She just wants you to remember her and think of her occasionally."

Lu Yunfei nodded and said nothing more.

Chu Yueli glanced at him again.

This exceptionally handsome face, so rare to behold, shimmered with a unique radiance under the sunlight.

She finally felt relieved.

Not every relationship requires you to reciprocate in the same way, after all, that relationship may not be right for you.

I believe that if Xue'er knew this in the afterlife, she would understand that although her brother Yunfei did not love her, at least she had a place in his heart.

Loving someone doesn't necessarily mean possessing them, because love is always a matter of personal choice.

To receive an equal response is fortunate, but in reality, there are very few couples in this world who are truly in love with each other; most relationships are one-sided.

The carriage traveled along the road, and soon they arrived at the Duke's mansion.

Upon hearing that Chu Yueli and the Ninth Prince had arrived, not only did Tuoba Liuli personally come out to greet them, but Huo Qing and Miao Yucui also rushed to the gate to welcome them.

"The Ninth Prince is getting more and more handsome; he's almost more handsome than his Fourth Brother!"

Huo Qing looked at Lu Yunfei with obvious affection, as if he were her own son.

Chu Yueli knew that Yunfei's return with her meant he would be showered with love and affection.

Handsome boys are admired wherever they go!

The way his second aunt looked at him made her wish she had raised the boy herself; she adored him and couldn't bear to part with him.

However, what struck me most upon returning today was how much my sister-in-law has changed.

She only lived as husband and wife with her elder brother for a day before separating, but in less than two months, she became a true noblewoman.

Nowadays, even Miao Yucui doesn't really care about the affairs of the young master in the mansion; basically, it's all being managed by Tuoba Liuli alone.
