Even though Lu Yeming had settled everyone, Jun Xiqing still continued resisting, thrashing about as she screamed, “Ah, don’t touch me! Get lost! Scram!”
Lu Yeming knelt on one knee on the bed, holding her shoulders. “Qingqing, look at me. Who am I?”
“You’re a bad guy! Get lost!”
Jun Xiqing scratched his face with her long fingernails, causing a blood wound. She was very agitated, almost like she had gone crazy.
But Lu Yeming only raked his fingers through her hair, holding the back of her head before he kissed her red lips.
Murong Ling, “…”
F*ck! Even now he had been forcefully fed some dog food[1]!
Lu Yeming kissed her so overbearingly, forcing his unique, masculine breath on her. Still Jun Xiqing continued to punch him, just like a little porcupine that wouldn’t stop attacking him. She opened her mouth, biting the corner of his lip.
Letting out a short grunt, Lu Yeming furrowed his brows because of the pain. Picking up her jaw, he took the chance to extend his tongue inside her mouth when she opened it. He explored every corner of her mouth with his tongue.
A gasp escaped her lips as Jun Xiqing’s breath was taken away, his masculine scent consuming her whole. Fluttering her lashes, she finally took a close look at the person in front of her.
It was Lu Yeming’s handsome face.
It was him.
It wasn’t someone else.
“Are you finally sober?”
Their lips finally separated. Her lips had been kissed by him so thoroughly they were now red and swollen.
As he wiped her lips with his fingers, he leaned his forehead against hers and he nuzzled against her again.
He really made her feel assured.
Jun Xiqing’s nose turned red, and tears streamed down her face.
Thank goodness.
She was terrified.
She really was terrified earlier on.
Lu Yeming held the back of her head, letting her rest on his muscular chest. “Everything’s fine… Everything’s fine…” he murmured, his hand traveling down to her back and he patted it lightly to comfort her.
“Oh god, what happened?”
A bunch of villagers rushed over.
When Auntie Shen saw her own son lying on the ground, her expression changed. “Chong’er, Chong’er, what’s wrong with you?”
Shifting slightly when he heard his mother, Shen Chong had spat out a mouthful of blood and lost consciousness.
“Who hurt my son?” Auntie Shen looked furiously towards Lu Yeming and Jun Xiqing. “Was it you two? How can you two be so evil. We saved your lives but how could you be so ungrateful and harm my son? How is this fair? Everyone, come and be the judge!”
Auntie Shen started instigating the villagers and they all looked at Lu Yeming and Jun Xiqing, their gazes filled with judgement.
“How dare you come to our territory and create trouble! Someone come and capture them!”
A few agitated villagers went in front, wanting to capture Lu Yeming and Jun Xiqing. In response, Lu Yeming lifted his head, looking at the villagers impassively. His eyes were like two dark abysses, exuding a dark, dangerous aura.
As though he could kill them without anyone even realizing a thing.
Gulp. The villagers were stunned, their spine tingled and they didn’t dare take another step forward. They suddenly heard some footsteps outside. Fan Men had finally arrived with his men.
“Master, I’m sorry for being late.” Fan Men stepped inside the room, going down on one knee in front of Lu Yeming.
Auntie Shen and the villagers turned back to look, the entire village had been surrounded by the special forces who were dressed in their signature black. They were armed with guns and really made the villagers tremble.
Who… were these people?
Auntie Shen looked at Lu Yeming with widened eyes. No… who was this man to command such presence?
The village head ran over, panting heavily as he burst out into cold sweat. He knelt down on both knees. “West Duke!”
Oh God.
Everyone gasped, he was actually… the West Duke, Lu Yeming! Such an omnipotent presence actually appeared in their tiny village.
“W-West Duke, please spare our lives!”
The villagers’ legs all went weak, they knelt in front of Lu Yeming. Fan Men handed over a black cape and Lu Yeming draped it over Jun Xiqing’s shoulders, covering her body before he carried her.
Jun Xiqing buried her pale face in his warm chest, hugging his neck and refusing let go.
Lu Yeming stopped in front of the village head. “Village Head, get up.”
“Yes, West Duke.” The village head got up.
Lu Yeming lifted his head slightly, exuding a dignified aura. “I understand I’ve caused some disturbance this time. To express my gratitude for the villagers, I’ll have my men allocate an apartment in the heart of the city to every single one of you in this village.”
Hiss.
The village head gasped, one apartment in the city was enough for them to feed several generations of people.
“West Duke, thank you for your generosity.” The village head dropped down on his knees again.
“However, those who have made mistakes cannot escape from their punishment. I will make sure they get their due punishment, they shouldn’t even think about coming out for the rest of their lives.”
When she heard this, Auntie Shen’s face instantly turned pale, she looked at her son and started wailing. What exactly did this son of hers do?
“Understood, I will follow West Duke’s orders,” Village Head replied, his head bowed low in respect. By the time he lifted his head, Lu Yeming had already taken Jun Xiqing out, leaving only his back view for the village head.
The village head looked in his direction. He had no idea that in the future, this man would achieve the pinnacle of his political career, ruling the world. Not only that, this woman would lead the Wolf Iron Steed Troop to victory and reclaim her nation, becoming the first female ruler.
They would not see each other for a long time, until it was decades after.
…
Lu Yeming carried Jun Xiqing out of that godforsaken place and when Jun Xiqing lifted her head, the originally dim village was lit up, tens of limousines appeared in front of them. It was a magnificent setup, almost like a guard of honor.
These merely served to remind her that nothing had changed. In the end, he was still West Duke.
It was time for him to head back.
He was merely steps away from ruling the world, once he goes back, the world would change.
Jun Xiqing looked at him. “Are we going back?”
Lu Yeming lowered his head, though it wasn’t obvious and he looked at her with a tender gaze. “Mm.”
Jun Xiqing lowered her head once again. “Let me down.”
He acquiesced.
“West Duke, I need to go get something. Wait for me here, I’ll be quick.”
Jun Xiqing turned around and went inside the wooden house.
…
In the wooden house.
Jun Xiqing stood beside the bed, placing the folded papers into her pocket. Fluttering her lashes, she felt kind of sad.
She had no idea why she was sad.
They spent little time at this small village, but he wasn’t West Duke here and she wasn’t Jun Xiqing here. They were both aware that once they returned, everything would go back to normal.
Just then, the door was pushed open and someone came inside and closed the door behind him.
