Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 449 The relationship must be severed completely.

Some people are like that; they lack emotional depth and are easygoing, accepting whatever comes their way.

Not everyone can meet someone they fall in love with at first sight. Some feelings can be developed gradually through getting to know each other.

"I think he felt some pity for Li'er, but nothing dramatic happened between them, and their feelings weren't that deep."

“But my brother is the kind of person who, once he makes up his mind, will take responsibility to the end. If we really get married, he will definitely treat Li’er well for the rest of his life and will never let her down.”

These words made Lu Beimo fall into deep thought.

Chu Yueli tilted her head and winked at him: "Does Prince Mo have some brilliant ideas? Please speak frankly."

"Call me Your Highness?" Lu Beimo raised an eyebrow, looking displeased.

She snorted and muttered, "It's just a name, why be so fixated on it?"

After thinking for a moment, he called out, "Bei Mo."

Lu Beimo was finally satisfied and revealed his thoughts: "You and my elder brother both think that the Seventh Princess is interested in me, but sees no hope in me, so you feel it doesn't matter who she marries. Are you afraid she'll regret it in the future?"

Chu Yueli nodded: "At least my elder brother is indeed worried about this."

"Then why is she willing to marry my elder brother, but so resistant to the marriage alliance with Prince Ning, even saying she'd rather die than marry him?" Before Chu Yue could finish speaking, Lu Beimo suddenly leaned closer: "Isn't this the difference?"

Chu Yueli frowned slightly, opened her mouth as if to say something, but suddenly seemed to realize something.

Yes, how can you say it doesn't matter who you marry? Isn't this the difference now?

Perhaps even Tuoba Liuli herself didn't notice this difference?

She would rather die than marry Prince Ning.

But she took the initiative to marry her elder brother. Isn't that another kind of affection?

Whether it's liking or getting used to it, she has already developed feelings for her older brother.

Chu Yueli held the pastry, lowered her eyes, and slowly swallowed it while pondering.

Lu Beimo's voice seemed to be right next to her ear: "So, it might not be a bad thing that she can marry my elder brother. How do you know that Tuoba Liuli isn't happy?"

In Chu Yueli's mind, the happy smile on Tuoba Liuli's face after she frightened Prince Ning flashed through her mind.

At that time, she was laughing very happily and joyfully.

He laughed like a child.

She was genuinely happy, not at all forced, simply because she felt that she might not need to marry Prince Ning, and could instead be with her elder brother.

"So, you mean that Li'er actually likes Big Brother, but she's set her heart on you, so she thinks she's always liked you?"

"They might not really like me that much." Lu Beimo didn't want to talk about his relationships with other girls; he had no interest in other women whatsoever.

However, if he himself becomes the crux of the problem, then he must resolve it in front of Ali.

What if Ali misunderstands him?

At the very least, he had to completely and clearly sever all ties with Tuoba Liuli.

"I never had much contact with her. If she ever liked me, it was probably just because she had seen my true colors before. As a young girl, it was just wishful thinking."

Lu Beimo paused, then quickly added, "I have never given her any response. I can swear to that."
