Chapter 1380: I Like You Very Very Much
Lu Yeming finally understood that more than anyone else, Jun Xiqing had a pure and kind heart.
In her eyes, she viewed family and country as her utmost priority as they had protected and cared for her during her growing years. He could be number one if he wanted to. But he had to use his heart to exchange for it.
A misty layer came over Jun Xiqing’s sparkling eyes. Her fair face with its red lips and white teeth was radiant. “Lu Yeming, I like you very very much.
“I have not liked anyone else in this lifetime. My heart jumps whenever I see you. So please don’t be ambiguous with me anymore. Please don’t be nice to me anymore. I am afraid that I will let myself down, and allow you to scheme however you want against me. That I will just sacrifice all of myself to you.
“I know that your heart only holds Sister Mo’er, and that you just want me as a comforting balm to soothe your longing. But I carry the responsibility of an entire nation and have never dared to do anything willful or ever ceased toiling for my country for even a second. Deep into the night when there is no one around, I also feel tired as well.
“I don’t wish to save anyone as I am also in need of being loved.”
Lu Yeming’s deep, almond-shaped eyes seemed to surge with emotion, but when you looked closer, it was as if you had imagined it. His pupils were like two small abysses, luring everyone in the world to be intoxicated with him, to be besotted with him.
Once she had finished speaking, Jun Xiqing gently pushed him away. Then she got up and left.
...
Dawn soon arrived. Today was Dongfang Ruoli’s grand birthday party.
Dongfang Ruoli was radiant and had already changed into a gorgeous outfit that had brilliant pearls hand-stitched onto it. She felt like she was the world’s most blissful royal lady today.
She met Jun Xiqing in the corridor.
“Your Highness, what a coincidence. Do you think I look beautiful today?” Dongfang Ruoli asked gaily.
Jun Xiqing was very polite. “Very beautiful.”
Dongfang Ruoli went up to her. “Jun Xiqing, actually we both know that His Highness deeply loves another woman. No matter how much time has passed, we will never be able to replace her. But even so, so what? He has given me the highest possible status and allows me to walk beside him and bask in his glory. With this, I am satisfied.
“And you, what does His Highness truly think of you? You are lovely and trained in the art of wolf taming. But His Highness has schemed against you once and again, pushing you into danger multiple times. In my opinion, His Highness doesn’t have any real feelings for you.”
Despite hearing the blunt words, Jun Xiqing didn’t waver in her smile. She raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “Empress, there’s no need for you to worry about my affairs. Also, rather than relying on others for your own happiness, it is always better to depend on yourself.”
With that, Jun Xiqing left.
Dongfang Ruoli was hopping mad. She failed to provoke that Jun Xiqing, and what did she mean by that “rather than relying on others for your own happiness, it is always better to depend on yourself”?
Somehow, Dongfang Ruoli suddenly had a premonition that something bad would happen during her party later.
But Dongfang Ruoli calmed down when she thought about the Crown Prince in her belly. This was His Highness’s son!
...
Jun Xiqing went out with Ping Ping in tow. “Ping Ping, go and bid Fan Men farewell. We are returning to Country Z now. If he is sincere, he will send an official marriage proposal and lead a grand procession to Country Z to marry you.”
Ping Ping blushed and shook her head. “Your Highness, I have already bid him farewell.”
“Let’s go then.”
“Your Highness, will President Lu let us go?”
Jun Xiqing nodded. “He will.”
When they arrived at the city gates, the guards immediately stopped them. “President Jun, are you leaving? Do you have His Highness’ permission?”
“Send someone to go and ask him.”
...
Members of the elite from the various countries were gathered cheerfully during the birthday party.
Lu Yeming was dressed in a tailor-made black suit and standing in the middle of the gloriously-lit hall. Several political heads surrounded him. His eyes were lowered as he held a faint smile, exuding an elegant and calm aura.
He was a highly-respected king of kings.
But he would lift his eyes now and then and scan the hall, trying to find a familiar slender figure.
But he didn’t find her.
Jun Xiqing didn’t come.
“Your Highness.” Fan Men walked over and said in a low voice, “President Jun is leaving.”
She was leaving.
Lu Yeming’s face remained expressionless. He simply raised his brows and answered, “Mm.”
He was letting her go.
The guards at the city gates soon received the message. “President Jun, His Highness has agreed to let you leave.”
As expected. Jun Xiqing didn’t turn back. She left the city and boarded her private jet, returning to Country Z.
...
Hours later, the party was still going on. Several upper-class housewives crowded around Dongfang Ruoli, lavishing her with compliments.
“Your Highness is so beautiful today.”
“Your Highness is the most precious now as you are carrying the future Crown Prince. A woman is as good as the sons she bears. Your Highness is the most highly-esteemed woman now.”
Dongfang Ruoli smiled. She looked at Lu Yeming and quickly went up to him. “Your Highness.”
Lu Yeming looked at Dongfang Ruoli.
A voice suddenly rang out in the hall. “Assassin! There’s an assassin!”
There was an assassin?
Everyone in the hall descended into panic. Someone banged into Dongfang Ruoli and she screamed and fell to the ground.
Her stomach hurt.
It hurt so badly.
Dongfang Ruoli went pale and looked at Lu Yeming. “Your Highness, save me!”
At this moment, Fan Men walked over. “Your Highness, the assassin has been caught!”
The assassin was brought in and forced to kneel on the floor.
“My goodness, why does this assassin look exactly like President Lu?”
Dongfang Ruoli looked up at the assassin and was thunderstruck and her face paled. This assassin looked exactly like Lu Yeming.
It was as if there were two Lu Yemings.
Then... Which Lu Yeming did she go to bed with that night?
Foreboding thoughts pricked at the edges of Dongfang Ruoli’s mind. Was she deceived?
At this moment, the assassin looked at Dongfang Ruoli. “Ruoli, don’t be afraid. I will definitely protect you and protect our child. After I kill Lu Yeming, I will become the Emperor and you will be my Empress.”
W-What was this man saying?! Dongfang Ruoli felt like she had been pushed into the abyss. Her limbs went cold and she shivered. “N-No, I don’t know you. Who are you?”
The assassin rushed over and held Dongfang Ruoli. “Ruoli, what’s the matter? You said Lu Yeming doesn’t like you and has never touched you the entire three years of your marriage. You had me undergo plastic surgery to look like Lu Yeming and went to bed with me to bear my son. We planned all of this. Why are you pretending you don’t know anything?”
With that, the assassin tossed out several photographs. “Look, how can you deny what’s already happened? Here are the photographs of you and me in bed.”
The photographs were scattered across the carpeted floor. They were all erotic images of Dongfang Ruoli in bed.
Everyone gasped in shock. “Goodness, Empress Dongfang is actually a traitor and an adulteress. To think that the baby in her tummy is an illegitimate bastard! President Lu has never even touched her.”
