Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 177 I'm here, waiting for your nod.

As Lu Beimo's body sank, the feeling of being oppressed became even more pronounced in an instant.

Chu Yueli's face flushed red with anger, and she roared, "You bastard! If you don't get up, I won't be polite!"

Above them came a helpless yet suppressed sigh from Lu Beimo.

He finally let her go.

Chu Yueli immediately fled from under him, and only after she was far away did she turn back and glare at him: "Your Highness, although you are noble, the daughters of our Duke's mansion are not to be bullied by you like this. If you continue..."

"I didn't bully you, I just couldn't help myself for a moment, I'm sorry." Lu Beimo's words actually revealed a bit of sincerity.

Chu Yueli still wanted to curse.

However, his attitude in admitting his mistake was not bad.

The key question is, what's the point of scolding him?

But she was still very angry.

"Ali, let's get married," Lu Beimo suddenly said.

Chu Yueli's anger instantly turned into shock: "Does Your Highness know what you're doing? Is it really fun to play this kind of joke on me?"

"When have I ever joked with you?" Lu Beimo stared at her.

Chu Yueli said coldly, "If Your Highness truly intends to marry me, why don't you ask the Emperor for a decree to grant us marriage? Instead, you only come to me and say you want to marry me. Without an imperial decree, anything Your Highness says is nothing but the idle talk of a lecherous rogue!"

She only wanted him to back down, but unexpectedly, Lu Beimo's dark eyes lit up because of her words.

"So, Ali means you've agreed?" Even his voice couldn't hide his excitement. "Alright, since you've agreed, I'll go to the palace tomorrow to ask my father for a marriage decree."

"What...what nonsense are you talking about?" Why does this sound like he's not joking at all?

"Your Highness, please don't tease me. How could I, a woman who has broken off my engagement with Prince Jin, marry you? The Emperor will not allow it!"

She thought for a moment, and suddenly understood: "Did Your Highness dare to make such a promise because you were certain that the Emperor would not agree?"

What do a man's promises mean? Actually, she had already seen through it all and didn't care at all.

I just hope this big devil won't bother me anymore!

“I was certain that my father would be very angry, even furious.”

Lu Beimo smiled faintly, "But I have military merits, the merits of pacifying the northern frontier are not something ordinary people can obtain! I will ask for your hand in marriage in the main hall based on my military merits, and Father Emperor has no reason not to agree."

"Are you... serious?" Chu Yueli began to feel a chill run down her spine.

She could really sense his seriousness; it didn't seem like he was teasing her.

What is this great demon king thinking?

"Your Majesty..."

"Does Ali think I'm just making fun of you?"

Lu Beimo leaned against the table, watching her figure, which was still clearly visible in the darkness.

But he didn't dare to look closely.

The thrill he felt just now was so wonderful it was addictive, but suppressing it took a lot of his willpower.

The pain of suppressing one's emotions is something that most people cannot bear.

He stared at Chu Yueli's face, wanting to go over, but he could clearly feel her resistance towards him.

Lu Beimo stopped, but kept staring at her with a cold yet firm gaze: "Ali, I'm waiting for your nod."

Wait for her to nod.

This is respect for her.

Otherwise, if he obtains the imperial decree and the emperor grants the marriage, she will have to marry him regardless of her wishes.

In this way, how is she any different from Consort Rui, who forced her into this situation?

"If you agree, I will ask the imperial decree to marry you, as long as you give me a clear indication."
