Lu Yeming's right-hand man, Fan Men, handed her an exquisite gift box.
He was giving her a wedding present?
Jun Xiqing looked at the gift box. She could tell that he was up to no good. This man was truly evil.
But she smiled. "Then I'll thank West Duke in advance."
The maid accepted the exquisite gift box.
Zhu Qing looked at Lu Yeming. "West Duke, it's an honor for you to attend our engagement banquet. I heard that you've been looking for a consort for the past year. I wonder which family's daughter will catch your eye?"
The West Duke's consort selection had been a hot topic for a long time. Everyone was waiting to see who the future West Duke's wife would be.
A woman who could catch the West Duke's eye would definitely not be an ordinary woman.
Everyone's attention was focused on them. "That's right, West Duke. What type of girl do you like?"
"West Duke, my daughter has just returned from studying abroad. She's deeply in love with you."
"West Duke, my daughter is the same. She's proficient in the four arts." …
Everyone started to promote their daughters. The socialites looked at Lu Yeming shyly, their eyes filled with adoration.
Jun Xiqing clicked her tongue in her heart. She hadn't expected this hypocrite to be so charming.
It had nothing to do with her anyway.
She was just watching the show.
At this moment, a pair of deep almond-shaped eyes landed on her delicate face. Lu Yeming suddenly looked at her and said in a low voice, "The type of girl I like should be … Miss Jun."
Everyone fell silent.
Everyone turned to look at Jun Xiqing.
Jun Xiqing was dumbfounded. What … was he saying?
"West Duke is really good at praising people. Thank you, West Duke." Jun Xiqing then looked at Zhu Qing. "Brother Zhu, it's the auspicious time. Let's exchange rings."
"Alright." Zhu Qing held Jun Xiqing's hand as they walked towards the podium.
Lu Yeming looked at Jun Xiqing's delicate back view, his handsome face expressionless. His deep almond-shaped eyes were like two abysses, so deep that no one could tell what he was thinking.
It was rumored that the West Duke, Lu Yeming, and the Silver Mask King, Xuan Ying, were actually the Black and White Double Demons of this world.
Xuan Ying was the Black Demon, cruel and ruthless, while Lu Yeming was the White Demon, elegant and calm, with a deep sense of power and fame behind it. He was extremely dangerous.
"Alright, I'll ask the President to put on the wedding ring for Miss Jun."
A ring appeared in Zhu Qing's hand. Jun Xiqing extended her hand over and slowly put the ring on …
Lu Yeming stood in the middle of the resplendent hall, watching this scene. His thin lips slowly curved upwards.
At this moment, with a loud bang, the doors of the hall were opened again and someone rushed in. "Mr. President, Miss Jun, bad news. Commander Jun was ambushed in the western suburbs. He was seriously injured and his whereabouts are unknown."
What?
This sudden change caused an uproar among the audience.
Before she could put on the ring, Jun Xiqing quickly retracted her hand and walked down the stairs.
The cold wind fluttered her white dress, and her slender figure quickly disappeared from the hall.
…
The engagement party was canceled and everyone was whispering.
Country Z's political situation was already chaotic, and now that Commander Jun had disappeared with the Wuling Iron Steed Troop, the balance had been broken.
A storm was brewing.
Lu Yeming's handsome face remained impassive. A few CEOs came to talk to him and he responded with a few words.
At this moment, he heard a commotion. "Look, the daughter of the East Duke, Ye Ruge, is here!"
Ye Ruge was the only woman among the four most famous dukes, and that was enough to show her reputation and means.
Lu Yeming lifted his handsome face and looked up. A fiery-red figure entered his line of sight. It was Ye Ruge.
Ye Ruge was a female general, she was extremely charming and arrogant. She was like a wild horse.
All these years, who knew how many men had come to the Ye family to ask for her hand in marriage, but they had all been chased away by her whip.
In this world, there hadn't been a single man she liked.
"Excuse me." Lu Yeming turned around to leave.
…
As he walked along the corridor, Lu Yeming's steady footsteps could be heard on the custom-made carpet. The vintage lights shone down, and the dim golden hue accentuated his handsome features.
At this moment, a fiery-red figure chased after him. Ye Ruge pulled out the whip from her waist and lashed it at the man.
Lu Yeming's deep almond-shaped eyes turned sharp, and his fingers stretched out, catching the whip that was coming towards him.
With a forceful yank, Ye Ruge's fiery-red figure fell towards him.
His large palm pressed down on the woman's shoulder, and he pinned her against the wall, his tall and handsome body pressing against her.
Ye Ruge's curvy waist knocked against the wall, and it hurt. Lifting her eyes to look at the man, she suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, and her slender legs wrapped around his muscular waist like water snakes.
Lu Yeming's handsome features were half-lit, and only the curve of his thin lips could be seen. With his large hand around her waist, he slammed her body against the wall.
Ye Ruge, who had always been ferocious and difficult to tame, who could make a few strong men cry and beg for mercy with just one whip, was completely submissive now. She raised her head seductively. "It hurts, be gentler!"
…
Jun Family.
Wu Qin reported the situation to Jun Xiqing in a low voice. Pursing her red lips, Jun Xiqing remained calm. "You can leave first. I'll change my clothes and go to the Vice President's residence later."
"Yes."
The Wuling Iron Steed Troop's Vice Commander, Wu Qin, was very respectful towards Jun Xiqing, and he left.
Jun Xiqing changed her clothes, and sat in front of the dressing table to comb her long hair.
At this moment, she saw an exquisite gift box on her dressing table. This was … Lu Yeming's engagement gift for her.
What did he give her?
Putting down the comb in her hand, Jun Xiqing opened the gift box. There was an … ancient book in the box.
What kind of book was this? It looked really old.
He actually gave her a book?
That extraordinarily handsome face surfaced in Jun Xiqing's mind. She hadn't expected a beast like him to do something as artistic as giving a book.
Picking up the book, Jun Xiqing flipped through it.
There were two little people on it, one male and one female, and they were in a strange posture.
Jun Xiqing furrowed her pretty brows. She couldn't understand it.
She had always been raised by Uncle Jun in the President's residence, and she had always thought that she was well-read. But she had never seen such a book before.
She flipped a few more pages, using all her wits to unlock it. Suddenly, her mind exploded. What was this?
She quickly flipped to the last page. There was a line of flamboyant words on the last page — -Sparring with each other when there's a chance.
-Lu Yeming.
Jun Xiqing sprang up from the chair, her delicate face flushing red. She had already known that he was a pervert when they were in the secret compartment, but she hadn't expected him to be this perverted.
He actually gave her a forbidden book!
-Sparring with each other when there's a chance.
He actually left such a message!
Sparring with what?
Who would want to spar with him?
He clearly knew that she was already engaged to Zhu Qing, but he still said such shameless things.
Jun Xiqing was still young, only 20 years old. She didn't know a single thing about relationships and relationships, but now he had taught her.
She had always been intelligent and could understand with just a hint. Because of her ignorance just now, she had already looked through those pictures in detail. Even now, she couldn't forget them.
So … relationships between men and women were so … explicit.
Picking up the ancient book, she wanted to split it into two and tear it apart.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Jun Xiyan's voice could be heard from outside. "Qingqing, are you there?"
Oh no, Elder Sister was here!
Jun Xiqing quickly stuffed the ancient book into her drawer. "Elder Sister, I'm here."
The door opened and Jun Xiyan walked in.
Jun Xiyan looked at Jun Xiqing. "Qingqing, why is your face so red?"
Was her face red?
Jun Xiqing lifted her eyes to look at the mirror. Her face in the mirror was flushed red, just like a beautiful red rose.
What was wrong with her?
She quickly covered her face with her hands.
"Qingqing, I heard that the West Duke came today. He even said something he shouldn't have at the engagement party?"
Something he shouldn't have said …
His words reverberated in Jun Xiqing's ears — -The type of girl I like is probably Miss Jun.
She didn't know what he meant?
It was a confession that seemed both real and fake.
"Qingqing, do you still remember what we warned you in the past? The West Duke is a very dangerous person. Don't be deceived by his appearance. The further you stay away from him, the better! "
Jun Xiqing had heard these words countless times. She quickly grabbed Jun Xiyan's hand and said coquettishly, "Elder Sister, I know. I haven't forgotten about it. Don't repeat it again. I still have something on, I'll leave first."
Jun Xiqing quickly got up and ran away.
Looking at her sister's back view, Jun Xiyan shook her head.
At this moment, the second sister, Jun Xiling, walked in. "Elder Sister, what's wrong? Qingqing is being disobedient again?"
Both of them doted on their only sister like a treasure.
Jun Xiyan shook her head. "Uncle Jun passed away and our parents also passed away. Country Z and the Jun family are in a precarious situation. Now that something has happened to Elder Brother, everyone is panicking. But what I'm most afraid of is that the West Duke will come."
Jun Xiling's expression became very solemn. "A year ago, the West Duke sent us a betrothal letter. He wanted to marry Qingqing, but we tore the betrothal letter and rejected him on the spot. This matter has been hidden from Qingqing, so Qingqing still doesn't know about it."
"Ha." Jun Xiyan curved her lips. "Second Sister, do you still remember why the West Duke wants to marry Qingqing?"
"I remember, the Side Duchess."
The Side Duchess was just a concubine. The West Duchess was the West Duke's real wife.
He only wanted Jun Xiqing to be the Side Duchess.
Then who was the real Duchess?
After that rejection, there was no more news from the West Duke. Soon after, there was news that the West Palace was looking for a concubine.
"I'm afraid the West Duke is here for Qingqing. Qingqing exposed her true identity in the Capital previously. Qingqing's wolf-taming skills, Wuling Iron Steed Troop, and Qingqing's beauty. Which one did the West Duke fancy? Or does he want all of them? "
