Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 284 Why Deceive You with Words Anymore

Lu Beimo didn't speak again, but just looked at Chu Yueli quietly, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something.

Chu Yueli didn't disturb him.

I know he's feeling wronged again.

Nine years have passed, and it was ultimately her fault that she ruined his life for nine long years.

If I hadn't told him that I wanted to marry him when I grew up, would he not have had this obsession?

However, Chu Yue still had some doubts in her heart.

"I remember... that fire was terrible. I thought I was going to die in the flames. It was so dangerous. I didn't know you at all. Why did you rush in to save me?"

It's not that I suspect he's lying, but rather, it's not worth it.

He was a prince, of noble status, while she was merely the daughter of a subject.

Unexpectedly, Lu Beimo chuckled softly: "Heh."

"What are you laughing at?" Chu Yueli frowned.

Lu Beimo didn't say anything, but simply placed the cup on the low table next to him.

The cup was empty; he had finished the herbal tea inside.

Chu Yueli stood up, poured him a cup, and as she handed it to him, Lu Beimo took the cup with one hand, but held her hand with his other large hand.

Chu Yueli subconsciously struggled, but seeing that he wouldn't let go, she frowned slightly: "I am grateful to you, and... I don't dislike you, but ultimately, men and women are different."

"You kissed me when I was little, but you've forgotten that too."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Yueli blushed.

Unexpectedly, Lu Beimo's handsome face turned even redder.

She saw his neck turn red instantly.

Chu Yueli looked on with curiosity and subconsciously raised her hand to take off his mask.

Sure enough, his face turned completely red.

Is this guy shy?

Lu Beimo finished the flower tea in one gulp, put down the cup, and looked up at her who had been forced to stand in front of him.

“You were just over a year old then. You came to the palace with your mother to reunite with my mother. You walked unsteadily, but you threw yourself into my arms and even kissed me.”

"Nonsense!" Why would she kiss him out of the blue?

Besides, who remembers being one year old? Her mother is gone, so even if he makes things up, no one can prove he's telling the truth.

"Really." Lu Beimo's eyes were smiling. "Later, I also wondered why you kissed me as soon as you saw me. After thinking about it, there's only one reason."

Although Chu Yueli was unwilling to believe it, she couldn't help but ask, "What reason?"

"I'm too good-looking."

"..." This guy really dares to say that, who gave him the nerve!

"Then tell me, among all the men you've ever met, who is more handsome than me?" Lu Beimo asked, squeezing her hand.

These little hands are still the same as when they were little, soft and squishy, ​​as if they have no bones at all. It feels so good to squeeze them.

He snorted: "Don't even mention someone like Lao Wu, he's far inferior to me."

"Hasn't Your Highness heard that excessive confidence becomes arrogance?" Chu Yueli said sarcastically.

"You called me Your Highness again." However, Lu Beimo wasn't angry, after all, he had been holding her hand the whole time, and the girl hadn't pulled it away.

He's in a great mood.

Chu Yueli stared at him for a long time before finally asking softly, "So, that's why you risked your life to save me after you found out I was in danger?"

"Finally willing to believe me?" he smiled.

But Chu Yueli saw a hint of vicissitude in his smile.

It turns out that they had known each other for a very, very long time.

He had no reason to lie to her, and she had no reason to doubt anything.

Because the fact that the two of them were able to escape from that fire was the luckiest thing that ever happened to them.

A person who was willing to risk his life for you has made his actions perfectly clear about what he thinks of you.

Why should I deceive you with words anymore?
