Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 1077 That man, gleaming with gold

Yuwen Ying did not speak.

Perhaps I understand a little, but more than that, I'm confused.

She was genuinely confused and uncertain.

“I took him out for a walk, and guess what?”

Chu Yueli turned around and looked at the blurry figure galloping in the distance. The smile in her eyes grew even stronger.

"He was unhappy, not happy at all. In fact, he wanted to go back as soon as possible because he was afraid that his fourth brother would be unhappy."

“Your Highness…” Yuwen Ying took a step forward, looking at her perfect profile.

Chu Yueli said softly, "In his heart, his fourth brother is more important than anyone else, including me and you."

Yuwen Ying lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Chu Yueli smiled faintly: "That's because he has never truly fallen in love with a girl. In his life, Prince Mo will always be the most important one. Princess, can you accept it? Can you accept that your husband has an older brother who is more important to him than his own life?"

"Why not? Their deep brotherhood only makes me envious, not jealous. Besides, I believe it's the same for Prince Mo. Yunfei is definitely more important to him than his own life."

These words came out of Yuwen Ying's mouth without her having thought about them at all.

Chu Yueli was satisfied. This girl was simple, innocent, and persistent.

It was truly a blessing for Lu Yunfei to meet her.

However, Yuwen Ying soon realized that something was amiss in their conversation.

She belatedly realized and asked, "...Husband...?"

"You don't want to marry him?" Chu Yueli raised an eyebrow.

Yuwen Ying blushed and hurriedly said, "Of course I want to, but... but..."

She sighed and said helplessly, "He doesn't like me."

Chu Yueli frowned: "When he heard you were in danger, he rushed to Wangbei Town to save you and even carried you back in his own arms. Is that what you call not liking you?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Chu Yueli continued, "You should know that Yunfei has never hugged any girl like this in his life. You are the first and the only one."

Yuwen Ying's heart was pounding, her five fingers clenched together, it was hard to tell whether it was nervousness or something else.

"But...but I've been back for so long, and he's never even glanced at me."

"That's because after he brought you back, he didn't rest for a single day. He immediately led his men out of the city to kill the rebels."

Chu Yueli raised her hand, stretched out her long finger, and pointed at the team that was rushing back.

"Look at him for yourself. Does he look like he's had a proper rest? Isn't that speed astonishing?"

Yuwen Ying was also looking at the procession in the distance.

While she and Chu Yue were talking, the group had already traveled such a long distance.

What looked so far away just now is now almost reaching the city walls.

It's so fast, it feels like we'll be there in the blink of an eye.

The reason he hadn't come to see her for so long was because he was going out of the city to kill rebels.

She didn't know how long she had been standing on the city wall; she just kept staring at the distant procession, watching them rise from a great distance, raising a cloud of dust.

They watched as the dust gradually approached the city wall.

Chu Yueli didn't know when she left.

When the weary troop arrived, the tall figure leaped off his horse and strode onto the city wall.

Yuwen Ying turned around and looked at the man coming up the stairs.

The sunlight shone on him, reflecting the dust on his body.

But that person, seemingly radiant with golden light, appeared before him in the blink of an eye.
