Sensing what he was about to do, Jun Xiqing quickly pressed down on his hands, refusing to let him go further.
Lu Yeming pushed her hands away and buried his face into her neck. He then picked the listening bug out of her hair and tossed it into the rubbish bin. He said in a raspy voice, “Are you really going to send me over to another woman’s bed?”
Still warm all over from his persistent kisses, Jun Xiqing grasped the muscles on his arm. “As devious as you are, don’t you have any tricks to escape it?”
“No. I will really go to bed with Dongfang Ruoli. In future, you will not be my only woman anymore. If Dongfang Ruoli tastes good, don’t hope that I will continue to think about you and long after you.”
Jun Xiqing held his head and tugged forcefully at his hair. “Go then. Go now! Who needs you to think about me and long after me? You are a ruler, so am I. You can have a harem of 3,000 ladies, I can also be drowning in a pool of handsome men. I won’t be worse off than you!”
When he heard her derisive words, Lu Yeming gripped her slender, soft waist so hard that it was like he was trying to snap her in two.
“Jun Xiqing, you are something, you are really something!”
He was gritting his teeth.
Jun Xiqing snorted. “You have such good taste!”
Lu Yeming’s handsome face twitched as he tried to suppress the jealousy in his heart. But the icy malevolence in his voice still seeped through. “I understand what you were saying. You blame me for being too unreasonable and forceful in the past. Now that I am giving myself to you, you are acting all high and mighty, refusing to accept me. But ask yourself truthfully. Your country will forever be ranked first in your heart. What position do I hold then?”
The whites of Jun Xiqing turned red and she quickly squeezed them shut. “You and I are on different paths. You have your eternal love while I have my own beliefs. We can never be together.”
Fierce, bloodshot eyes bore into her.
“Get off from me. I have let you play with me for nothing!”
Jun Xiqing was already feeling very conflicted and upset. At his sudden rebuke, her eyes snapped open.
What did he just say?
He had let her play with him for nothing???
Lu Yeming looked into her teary eyes, as pitiful as a seaweed thrashed in a thunderstorm. Anyone would feel like comforting her and doting upon her.
Within seconds, their positions had reversed as he flipped over and pinned her down. “I will do you until you die, so that you won’t be able to do it with anyone else in future.”
…
It was late into the night.
Dongfang Ruoli had been hiding in the wardrobe the entire time, just waiting for Lu Yeming to go bathe so that she could come out and replace Jun Xiqing, to sleep with him.
But she had waited and waited for hours and it was deep into the night now. The noises outside never came to a stop.
Dongfang Ruoli was nearly puking blood from hatred. Just beyond the door, her most beloved man was romping with another woman.
In her heart, Lu Yeming was a natural-born ruler with a pristine and dignified aura, untainted by anything. Over the past three years, he had barely looked at her even though she bore the same face as Tang Mo’er.
The palace was full of youthful, beautiful servant girls, but he had no interest in them. After some time, she felt that he was probably a sexually-frigid man. This complemented his status. Any woman who touched him would be besmearing his aura.
But she was wrong.
Today, she had finally found out the truth. It was clear that he liked the activities that could happen between a man and woman. He liked them very much.
Jun Xiqing’s crying pleas drifted from outside. “Hurt… Lu Yeming… it hurts…”
A few seconds later, a man’s heavy breathing could be heard. “Heartless creature. Why didn’t you cry out when you were in pleasure earlier…”
…
Finally, it all came to a stop.
Lu Yeming got off the bed and entered the bathroom.
By now, Dongfang Ruoli’s limbs had gone numb. Having hid inside the wardrobe for several hours, her heart had been steeped in jealousy and bitter hatred every second of it.
She opened the door to the wardrobe gently.
The room was in a mess. The air was filled with the smell of debauchery.
Jun Xiqing got up and dressed herself. Her long black hair was damp from sweat and clung to her face and neck. Her soft skin glowed with the sheen of perspiration, while her delicate brows exuded a sense of vulnerability. Even now she looked exceptionally fresh and vibrant.
Dongfang Ruoli glared at her venomously and hissed, “How many times did you and His Highness do it?”
Jun Xiqing was feeling weak all over. Even her voice was hoarse and feeble. “Are you turned on by the noise we made just now? Go ask your Emperor himself if you want to know.”
Dongfang Ruoli clenched her fists. “You and His Highness had such a wild time just now. What if he doesn’t wish to do it later?”
“Then I really can’t help you.”
Jun Xiqing turned to leave.
Looking at her slender back profile, Dongfang Ruoli cursed her in a strident voice. “Still pretending to be all that? Weren’t you completely submitted by His Highness just now? I heard you crying out several times earlier.”
…
Jun Xiqing changed her clothes and went to another room. Ping Ping opened the door.
It was Jun Xiyan.
“Elder Sister,” Jun Xiqing greeted her.
Jun Xiyan’s face was pale and her clothes were in disarray. She rushed up to Jun Xiqing and held her tiny hands. “Qingqing, I’m sorry. I have brought you trouble once again.”
Jun Xiqing said, “Elder Sister, as long as you are fine.”
“I am fine. Those people didn’t hurt me.”
Jun Xiqing’s clear eyes landed on Jun Xiyan’s face. “Elder Sister, do you have anything you want to say to me?”
Jun Xiyan was startled.
“Elder Sister, why did you delete the message that Lu Yeming sent me three years ago?”
Jun Xiyan alone knew her password and had access to her cell phone. It didn’t take much for Jun Xiqing to realize this.
“Qingqing, you knew about it?” Jun Xiyan was squeezing Jun Xiqing’s hand tightly. She quickly explained. “Qingqing, I did it for your own good. That Lu Yeming is still deeply in love with Tang Mo’er. He thought he could seduce you with just one sentence. I would never allow you to be with him. You will definitely be able to find a good man who loves you wholeheartedly.”
Jun Xiqing shook her head slowly. “Elder Sister, I know you did it for my own good. But you failed to show any respect for me. No matter what decision I would have made three years ago, I had the right to know what Lu Yeming sent me.
“Elder Sister, I told you this a long time ago. We are sisters by blood and blood is thicker than water. In the future, don’t perform such petty tricks over a man.”
Jun Xiqing turned pale. “Qingqing, are you blaming me? You are blaming me over that Lu Yeming? Are you holding a grudge against me just because I deleted that message? Qingqing, what love potion did that Lu Yeming feed you? Are you planning to get together with him?”
Faced with Jun Xiyan’s harsh accusations, Jun Xiqing raised her brows and drew back her own hand tiredly. “Elder Sister, you must be exhausted from the ordeal. Have a good rest and let’s talk again when we have time.”
With that, Jun Xiqing left with Ping Ping in tow.
…
In the room.
Ping Ping entered the bathroom to draw a rose milk bath. She then helped Jun Xiqing undress. “Your Highness, Elder Sister is back now. Does this mean that President Lu really slept with Dongfang Ruoli?”
