Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 186 You abandoned me for him?

"You want the Duke's mansion to participate in the autumn hunting party in its own name?"

At this moment, Lu Fengjin's expression also turned solemn.

"So, you want to completely sever all ties between the Duke's Mansion and the Prince Jin's Mansion, and this autumn hunt is to announce to the whole world that there is no longer any relationship between us, is that right?"

"Could there be some other relationship between me and the prince?" Chu Yueli asked coldly.

"Ali!"

“Your Highness, now that you have seen clearly, you should know that my trip to Xishan in Heng County was not to rescue my husband. Your Highness, please stop overthinking.”

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Before she said these words herself, Lu Fengjin still held a sliver of hope.

Now that even she herself says so, what meaning do all of Lu Fengjin's previous illusions have?

"What do you mean by that, Your Highness? I rescued the soldiers partly because I was following orders, and partly so that my brother and I could achieve great things. You can say it was intentional, but after all, we volunteered to fight."

At this moment, there was absolutely no extra emotion on her face, and her tone when speaking to him was completely businesslike.

Lu Fengjin's feelings were indescribably complicated; he didn't know whether it was anger or heartache.

"You used me?" He clenched his fist.

"Your Highness is too kind. My elder brother and I were indeed acting for the soldiers. How could we be using them?"

"Ah Li! I don't want to say any more lies to you! If you still have me in your heart, tell me, let's go back to how we were before, okay?"

Lu Fengjin took a step forward, his heart heavy. He knew that his feelings were one-sided, but he was unwilling to give up.

He almost died in the Xishan Stone Forest. At that time, Chu Yueli's appearance was like a fairy descending to earth.

He experienced the joy of seeing hope in despair, a feeling he will never forget.

In the following days, he was healing his wounds, and all he could think about was Chu Yueli's grievances. He felt that he had wronged her, but she still loved him deeply.

He even cursed himself countless times in private.

He was filled with regret.

But then he was told that it was all just wishful thinking on his part. How could he bear that?

"Ah Li, let's stop arguing. Let bygones be bygones. As long as you still have me in your heart, I swear to God..."

“Your Highness, I no longer believe in oaths. I’m not saying this out of anger, and I’m not just being stubborn with you. I’m very calm.”

Seeing that he looked a little agitated, Chu Yueli subconsciously took two steps back to create distance between them, so that he wouldn't bother her again later.

Lu Fengjin could clearly sense her estrangement.

He couldn't tell whether he was still sulking or not anymore.

"You've fallen for another man? Fourth Brother?" For some reason, at this moment, only Lu Beimo could be seen in her mind.

Chu Yueli hadn't originally planned to involve Mo Wang, but if someone could make him give up, that wouldn't hurt.

"The King of Ink is exceptionally capable; what's so strange about him falling for me?"

"His face is ruined! And you're the one who set it up! Ali, he has a deep-seated hatred for you, how could he possibly truly love you? You've been deceived by him!"

She can like anyone, but why Lu Beimo?

Lu Beimo is his natural enemy, and also his greatest enemy!

"You're no longer a naive young girl, yet you can't even see through his little tricks! How could he possibly have any genuine feelings for you? Ali, you abandoned me for him; you'll regret it sooner or later!"
