One month would be enough.
Jun Xiqing turned to leave.
But a few strong fingers wrapped around her wrist and grasped her forcefully.
Lu Yeming’s handsome features were perfect and clean, and an aura of darkness surrounded him. He wasn’t going to let her go.
One by one, Jun Xiqing pried his fingers away before turning to leave.
The light from the corridor spilled into the room as a ray of light appeared in the darkness. Lu Yeming looked on as her delicate figure vanished gradually from his sight.
…
Jun Xiqing left the Palace and returned to her apartment.
Moments after her return, Ping Ping filled the bathtub with hot water and Jun Xiqing sank into the water. The water felt good on her skin and washed away all the feelings of disgust on her skin. She shut her eyes in tiredness.
Half an hour later, Ping Ping knocked on the door and said, “Your Highness, have you finished your bath? The water is going to turn cold soon.”
There was no sound.
Jun Xiqing didn’t reply.
Ping Ping sensed that something was amiss. “Your Highness, I’m coming in.”
Ping Ping opened the door to the toilet and walked in.
Jun Xiqing was still in the tub, her wet hair spilling over silkily over her shoulders. Her black hair contrasted starkly against her white skin and her head was tilted. She had fallen asleep, her small face and red lips mesmerizingly beautifully.
“Your Highness, Your Highness.” Ping Ping called her.
Jun Xiqing opened her eyes slowly. They were full of sleep.
“Your Highness, how did you fall asleep while bathing? You can catch a cold easily if the water turns cold. It’ll be dangerous if you slipped into the water as well.”
By now, Jun Xiqing was too lazy to move. She didn’t know why but she had been feeling extremely tired lately.
Bringing the towel over, Ping Ping helped Jun Xiqing up. When Ping Ping looked at Jun Xiqing, she saw that the latter’s skin was filled with love bites which were obviously from a man.
“Your Highness, did President Lu… bully you again?”
Jun Xiqing out on her pajamas and replied faintly in confirmation.
“President Lu really is a beast. He really went too far this time!” Ping Ping snapped.
Jun Xiqing entered the room and lay on the bed, burying herself in the soft blankets. “Ping Ping, I feel so tired. I’ll take a nap first.”
“Alright, Your Highness. Goodnight.”
…
The next morning.
Jun Xiqing slept all the way to eight in the morning. As she opened her eyes, the warm light from dawn spilled in gentle waves through the chiffon curtains.
This was the first time she had slept all the way until eight. She had slept unexpectedly well last night.
Two knocks sounded from the door as Ping Ping pushed it open and entered. “Your Highness, it’s time to wake up. You’re going to become a pig if you keep sleeping.”
“Mm, good morning, Ping Ping.”
Jun Xiqing sat up quickly. At this moment, with a buzz, her phone sounded.
It was a call from Sikong Heng.
Jun Xiqing’s heart palpitated and she immediately picked up the call. “Hello, Doctor Sikong, has something happened to my brother?”
“Miss Jun, I have some good news for you. Your brother is awake.”
“Really?”
Jun Xiqing threw the blankets off herself quickly. Thank the gods! Her brother was awake!
“Young Master is awake? That’s great, that’s really great! Your Highness, we’ve already made it through the most difficult part!”
Beside Jun Xiqing, Ping Ping danced in joy. Young Master was awake, which meant that no one would ever dare to bully Her Highness again! Now she had an older brother to protect her.
Jun Xiqing jumped out of bed and rushed over to the toilet. “Ping Ping, prepare some dishes at home. I’ll go over to the hospital to see my brother first.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
…
Jun Xiqing left her apartment. Ping Ping had already called for a car, which was waiting downstairs.
When she went downstairs, she saw a black luxury car parked at the side of the road. She ran over and reached out with her fair, small hands to open the door. “Mister, please take me to XX Hospital as fast as you can.”
The man in the driver’s seat took a look at Jun Xiqing in the rearview mirror as she looked back at him. He was an extremely handsome man.
Jun Xiqing looked at the man’s hands on the steering wheel. He was wearing a custom-made steel watch, the design unique and the only one of its kind in this world.
“This… Mister, did I board the wrong car?” Jun Xiqing asked uncertainly.
Feng Sinan’s thin lips curved into a smile. “No. I’ll be bringing you to the hospital.”
The car started moving.
A few people on the streets started whispering as the car passed by them. “My god, isn’t that the Lantuo luxury car? There are only two in the world. One of them was recently purchased by the richest person in the world, Gu Mohan, as a present to his wife for her 30th birthday, and the other is in the hands of the head of the Feng Family, Feng Sinan.”
“The world of business now is firmly in the control of two people, Gu Mohan and Feng Sinan. The background of the Feng Family is pretty mysterious. It’s been said that all Feng Sinan has to do is stomp his feet and the world of business in Southeast Asia will quake.”
“That’s right, I’ve also heard that Feng Sinan and His Majesty are sworn brothers…”
Jun Xiqing couldn’t hear the discussions outside. All she wanted was to get to the hospital as fast as she could and see her brother.
At this moment, with a buzz, Feng Sinan’s phone rang. He placed a bluetooth earpiece in his ear and answered the call. “Hello?”
A magnetic voice rang out from the other end. “Sinan, I’ve already sent some people to get you. Are you running away again?”
It was Lu Yeming.
“Oh, I’m taking a girl somewhere.”
Lu Yeming laughed and said, “What kind of woman would make you so willing to become her driver? You want to sleep with her?”
Feng Sinan glanced at the unknown woman through the rearview mirror and remained silent, before answering him. “I’ll tell you after I’m done.”
Then he hung up the phone as the luxury car pulled into the hospital.
Jun Xiqing quickly got out of the car and passed two red bills to Feng Sinan. “Thank you, Mister.”
Mister…
Feng Sinan raised his handsome brow and said, “Miss, could you give me a way to contact you?”
He wanted her contact details?
Jun Xiqing immediately felt like this man’s intentions weren’t good. She fumbled around in her bag before handing him a business card. “There you go.”
With that, Jun Xiqing left.
Feng Sinan looked at the card. It read – Chat with a young, fresh university girl, for just 205 dollars an hour.
…
The Palace.
Feng Sinan entered the room. At this moment, a tall figure walked over. Lu Yeming was here.
He was in a black shirt and black trousers, his handsome face cold yet elegant. There was an aura of sickness surrounding him.
He sat on the armrest on the sofa with both hands in his pocket, his long legs stretched lazily in front of him. His deep eyes landed on Feng Sinan. “Speak. Who is the girl you want to sleep with?”
Taking off his coat, Feng Sinan looked at Lu Yeming. “I didn’t get her contact details. But isn’t this your territory? Help me search for her.”
