Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 128 Could it be that he really gave up on her?

"Only those who are delusional would think that he has feelings for them."

Chu Yueli turned around and walked towards the mansion.

Those slow, deliberate steps conveyed a sense of indifference and detachment.

“I was engaged to Prince Jin before, and our affair caused quite a stir. How could Prince Ning really care about me? Even if he did have some feelings for me, I would at most become a concubine if I entered the family.”

"How could you be a concubine!" Chu Xiaohe's face darkened, and he immediately said, "If Ali doesn't want to get married, she can stay in the Duke's mansion for the rest of her life. Your elder brother will protect you for life! I will never let you suffer as someone else's concubine!"

Being a concubine not only meant that one would never be able to hold one's head high for the rest of one's life, but also that any children born to one of the legitimate sons and daughters would forever be overshadowed by those of the legitimate sons and daughters.

"Heh." Chu Yueli turned around and smiled at him. "So what difference does it make to me whether Prince Ning looks at me a few more times? It's just his trick."

There are many arrogant men in the world who use tricks to make you think they are devoted to you, making you feel anxious and insecure. In fact, they will turn around and use the same tricks to seduce another girl.

Anyway, it's just flirting and stirring up your heart; it won't hurt them at all.

"The autumn hunt is related to the ownership of the Dragon Guard token. The various princely mansions will have to compete for it again this year. Brother, you are an outstanding rider and archer. I'm afraid that during this period, other people will come looking for you."

Chu Yueli returned to the side hall and ordered someone to prepare dinner. Only then did she look at Chu Xiaohe and ask, "Brother, do you have a preferred team in mind?"

Chu Xiaohe remained silent.

In previous years, the procession always entered the Prince Jin's residence; there was never any need to think about it.

Choosing which prince to join is an art; a poor choice can affect the future of the Duke's mansion.

"Ah Li, do you have any thoughts on this?" Chu Xiaohe still habitually wanted to hear his sister's opinion.

Chu Yueli thought for a moment before saying, "Not yet. Let me think about it some more."

"Anyway, we won't be going to Prince Jin's residence, perhaps..."

"Who says I definitely won't go to Prince Jin's residence?" A glint flashed in Chu Yueli's eyes.

Chu Xiaohe was taken aback and said in surprise, "The Prince Jin's Mansion is bullying us like this, of course we can't go!"

"That's not necessarily true." Chu Yueli lowered her eyes, concealing the hatred in them.

She hadn't forgotten what Tuoba Feiyuan had said.

It was because Lu Fengjin trapped her elder brother that she had the opportunity to destroy his body with a single blow.

Chu Yueli's hand, hidden in her sleeve, slowly clenched into a fist.

Why must my kind and gentle older brother suffer all this pain?

Those two people conspired to ruin my brother's life, so why should they live well?

“Ah Li…”

"I'm fine. This matter is not necessarily our decision."

Just as Chu Yueli finished speaking, Zisu rushed in from outside: "Young Master, Miss, Granny Xiu is here."

……

Tuoba Feiyuan lingered outside the gate of Prince Jin's mansion for most of the day!

She had been lingering at the door for a long time, and it was impossible that the people in the Prince's Mansion hadn't seen her, but Lu Fengjin inside hadn't made a single move!

Why doesn't he come out and greet her when she goes back?

She knows perfectly well how much Prince Ning admires her, yet she's so proud of him. Isn't she afraid that he'll go and visit her at Prince Ning's residence?

"If it weren't for the fact that you've been quite good to me, who would be willing to wait here for you to turn back!"

Tuoba Feiyuan was very angry, but she was also a little uneasy.

When that bastard said it was over, his expression was genuinely disheartened.

Could it be that he... has really given up on her?
