Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 1042 Chasing the Clouds 10

Lu Yunfei had no idea what evil had befallen him; perhaps his mind was truly muddled.

In short, by the time he realized what was happening, he and Chu Yueli had already ridden away from Jiangbei City.

At this moment, the two horses were resting on the grass not far away, while he and Chu Yueli sat on the lawn, looking at the starry sky.

Chu Yueli lay down, looking at the dark sky above her, dotted with countless glittering stars.

After relaxing, I suddenly realized how wonderful life truly is.

"Why don't you lie down and rest for a bit? Look at the scenery above you, and you'll naturally relax."

Lu Yunfei had been very nervous, his entire body tense from the moment they mounted their horses until now.

He cannot relax, and therefore he can never find peace.

Chu Yueli's words did not make him feel at ease; on the contrary, they made him even more uneasy.

Chu Yueli tugged at his robe again: "Lie down, it's really comfortable."

In the end, Lu Yunfei lay down, but deliberately kept his distance, not daring to get any closer to her.

"Yunfei, have you been very lonely these past few years?" she asked.

Lu Yunfei remained silent, a bitter smile spreading across his thin lips.

Chu Yueli sighed softly and said, "Perhaps Zisu is right. I should have come to have a good talk with you sooner."

"What does Zisu know?" Lu Yunfei was startled; he had no interest in looking at the scenery above him.

At this moment, all I can think about are my own filthy thoughts. Is it already common knowledge?

Chu Yueli did not answer his question, but instead asked, "If... I mean if, if I wasn't with your fourth brother, would you dare to tell me your secrets?"

"There is never such a thing as 'what if' in this world."

"Then I need you to think about it. Don't worry about whether it exists in this world or not."

Why think about things that don't exist?

"I just want you to think about it!"

"In no mood!"

"Why are you not listening to me at all? You used to always listen to me!"

"The past is the past, and the present is the present."

"Yes, you used to be just a little kid, but now you've grown up! It's good to be grown up; now you can stop listening to your mother."

"You're not my mother."

"An elder sister-in-law is like a mother!"

"And you said you don't need to treat me as the Fourth Princess's sister-in-law tonight?" And you even said you'd call her Ali!

A woman's heart is like the bottom of the sea; she often contradicts herself and is completely unreliable.

Chu Yueli sat up, glaring at him, displeased: "Anyway, I just want you to think about it. If I weren't your fourth sister-in-law, if I had no relationship with your fourth brother, would you have pursued me?"

"No way!" Lu Yunfei replied without hesitation.

"Why not? Am I that bad?" Chu Yueli stood up, walked to his side, and kicked him in the calf. "Tell me, why not? Am I not worthy? Or are you still deceiving yourself?"

Lu Yunfei was a little hurt from the kick. He looked up at her, moved his lips, but didn't know what to say.

No, I really won't, there's no reason why.

Perhaps it should be said that when something already exists, it's impossible to go back and think about things that are impossible.

But that "no" was definitely something that came out of my mouth.

But why did he say he couldn't without even thinking? Was it really just out of spite? Or did he genuinely never even consider it?

Lu Yunfei looked at her, unsure how to respond.

Chu Yueli sat down beside him, staring at his face, which looked even more handsome under the starlight: "I'll give you one more chance. Think it over carefully, will you succeed?"
