Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 557 Please call me Imperial Sister-in-law, remember that!

Chu Yue Li had also mentioned to Lu Bei Mo that Chu Xiao He was taking medicine.

She had already told him before he came that his elder brother couldn't drink alcohol, as it would affect the efficacy of the medicine, and she hoped that Prince Mo could help him out.

"Don't be afraid."

Chu Yueli gently squeezed Tuoba Liuli's hand and poured her a glass of fruit wine.

She looked away, took a sip of the fruit wine, and looked up, only to be met with a pair of cold, icy eyes.

……

Later, Chu Xiaohe returned, and as expected, he hadn't drunk much; most of the wine had been turned away by Mo Wang.

This brother-in-law, I must say, is really reliable!

The scene was too noisy, so Chu Yueli found a quiet place to rest.

The figure arrived as quickly as a shadow.

Chu Yueli pretended not to see it and turned to leave.

But she had only taken two steps when the man strode forward and instantly blocked her path.

"Your Highness," Chu Yueli said helplessly, her face expressionless.

Lu Fengjin stared intently at her face.

Since Prince Mo and Miss Li were betrothed, Lu Fengjin has never seen Chu Yueli again.

Tonight is our first time meeting.

Lu Fengjin stared intently at her face, expressionless.

Chu Yueli waited for a moment, but when he did not speak, she said, "If Your Highness has no further advice, please allow me to take my leave. Prince Mo is still waiting for me."

"Is Lu Beimo the only one in your heart now?" Lu Fengjin asked coldly.

Chu Yueli found it laughable. Why were they still dwelling on these things now that things had come to this?

“I am engaged to Prince Mo, and I will become his princess next month. He is the only one in my heart, so who else could it be?”

This question is utterly ridiculous.

“Back then, I was also engaged to you. At that time, did you only have me in your heart?” Lu Fengjin did not find it funny; his expression was even extremely serious.

Chu Yueli frowned, looked up to meet his gaze, and said somewhat impatiently, "The past is the past, why does Your Highness have to bring it up again?"

"What if I insist on bringing it up?" Lu Fengjin pressed on relentlessly.

Chu Yueli's disgust deepened, and her tone gradually turned cold: "I find the past boring. If Your Highness is willing to bring it up, that's your business, but I don't like to talk about it."

"Boring?" After five years of relationship, she actually said it was boring!

"Back then, who was it that almost lost their life time and time again for your sake! It was me!" He suddenly took a step forward.

Chu Yueli immediately took a step back, maintaining the distance between them.

Lu Fengjin was very dissatisfied with her distant attitude.

Is it true that Lu Beimo is now the only person in her heart and mind, and even he can no longer catch her eye?

"What was he doing when you and I were deeply in love? I watched over you from the age of twelve until you were seventeen, accompanying you through the most innocent days of your life. Can this period of time be erased so easily?"

He couldn't believe that five years of protection could be so easily erased from her heart; she wasn't such a heartless person!

Chu Yueli looked at him calmly, her eyes remaining completely undisturbed.

“Your Highness, you were indeed kind to me in the past, and I am grateful for your protection. However, I have also given a lot for you, so we are even.”

Since we've evened things out, there's no need to bring it up again.

"Now, neither of us owes the other anything. In half a month, I will be your fourth sister-in-law, Your Highness. At that time, please do not call me Ali anymore, but call me sister-in-law! Remember that!"
