Jun Xiqing looked at him and smiled. She purposely lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear her. "West Duke, do you know your true identity?"
Lu Yeming gave a low laugh. "Interesting. Continue."
"Twenty years ago, when Madam Xuanji was pregnant, she was forced to take an abortion pill. In the end, she had to perform a C-section to remove her son. It wasn't that this son couldn't speak, but that he was on the verge of death. The moment he was carried out of Madam Xuanji's arms, he had already passed away.
"This son and Madam Xuanji really loved each other deeply. She was pregnant for ten months but still managed to hold on until the moment of birth. He died in his mother's arms.
"Lu Jinwen has always been cruel and heartless. He knew nothing about love, but he was deeply in love with Madam Xuanji. When did he set this up, how did he set it up, and what kind of existence you were … I don't know any of this, but the one thing I'm sure of is that the two of you were more like father and son than father and son. The two of you had set this up perfectly, fooling everyone and minimizing the damage. Both of you protected the one person you've always wanted to protect.
"Even now, when I see your father's signature, Lu Jinwen's heart still trembles. Master Xuanyi once said that he had killed too many people in his life and that he wouldn't have a good ending. Now that I think about it, these two sentences are really true. He killed his own son with his own hands and he didn't even get to see Madam Xuanji for the last time. In the end, he cried tears of blood as he hugged Madam Xuanji and died. His blood stained the ice bed. Now I can understand … his pain.
"As for you, West Duke, you're another big mystery after Lu Jinwen. When did you find out about your identity? It's already been a few years. Based on your abilities, how could you not find out anything about it?
"What is your bloodline? Who is your father? Where is your family? How could you not know anything about it?
"But you didn't do anything at all. You changed your name to Lu Yeming, as if you intend to pass on this surname to the next generation. I've never thought that the West Duke was a sentimental person. All these years, you haven't enjoyed the glory of the Lu family at all. So why are you so attached to this surname? Or …"
Jun Xiqing retracted her hand forcefully. Her fair fingers came to his heart and she poked it forcefully. "Or is it that you only have feelings for the person you grew up with, the person who gave you warmth and spent 20 years growing up with you?"
"You want to carry the surname Lu forever. You want to be the closest to her and enjoy all the love and affection she gives to your younger brother."
"That's why I said that the three generations of the Lu Family, Old Master Lu, Lu Jinwen, are not as affectionate as you are. You can endure loneliness and maintain prosperity. Even this dazzling path to imperial power is not even a fraction of the person in your heart."
It was said that men who were deeply in love were especially charming, so Lu Yeming was indescribably charming.
There was something in Lu Yeming's deep almond-shaped eyes, like two dangerous little whirlpools that could suck one's soul in.
In the end, he raised his hand and pinched her delicate chin with his long fingers. "Jun Xiqing, I'm really … liking you more and more."
"It's my honor." Jun Xiqing arched her willowy eyebrows. "Since you've trapped me in this West Palace, I have all the time in the world to unravel all the mysteries surrounding you."
Lu Yeming took a step forward, his tall body pressing against hers. "If you want to unravel all the mysteries surrounding me, why don't you … take off my clothes first?"
His voice was low and deep, ambiguous and seductive.
"West Duke, I've been out for a long time. If Elder Sister Mo 'er can't see me, she'll be worried!"
She emphasized the words "Big Sister Mo 'er".
Lu Yeming was expressionless, but he slowly let go of her. With one hand in his pocket, he said elegantly, "Watch your mouth. Don't get yourself into trouble."
"Don't worry, I treat Elder Sister Mo 'er as my biological sister. I won't hurt her."
Lu Yeming sneered, his tone indifferent.
Jun Xiqing could tell from his gaze that he didn't believe her. He would protect his sister for the rest of his life. He didn't need anyone else.
"I'll watch my mouth. West Duke, please watch your lower half. Lust is like a knife to your head."
With that, Jun Xiqing left.
…
After Jun Xiqing left, the study fell silent.
Lu Yeming walked over to the office table, lowering his eyes to look at the DNA paternity test report.
He raised his hand and slowly touched the name 'Lu Jinwen' …
…
Jun Xiqing returned to her room. Tang Mo 'er was still sleeping on the bed.
It was already night time. Tang Mo 'er had slept all the way until now.
"Elder Sister Mo 'er, it's time to wake up." Jun Xiqing went forward, leaning against the headboard and gently waking Tang Mo' er up.
Tang Mo 'er's luscious lashes quivered and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Qingqing, it's you."
Tang Mo 'er sat up, her lustrous eyes were still drowsy and she stretched lazily.
She had become so sleepy recently.
She didn't know if it was because of the AR effect that her body was getting weaker and weaker. She felt weak all over.
"Elder Sister Mo 'er, you're going to become a little lazy cat. I've calculated. You've been in bed for 20 out of the 24 hours in the past two days."
Really?
It couldn't be that exaggerated. Wouldn't she be crippled then?
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. A maid's voice came from outside. "Elder Miss, Miss Jun, dinner is ready."
"Got it." Tang Mo 'er lifted the blanket and got off the bed. "Qingqing, I'll brush my teeth and wash up first. Let's go down for dinner later. I'm feeling hungry."
"Okay."
Tang Mo 'er stood in front of the sink brushing her teeth. Just as she squeezed out the toothpaste, she suddenly felt nauseous.
She was going to throw up.
She quickly bent down and pressed her hand against her chest, trying to suppress the urge to vomit.
What was wrong with her?
Was it the AR effect?
Her body was getting worse.
Tang Mo 'er stood up and looked at herself in the mirror. She curved her red lips and smiled at herself.
Because she didn't have much time left, she treasured the time she had now. She was grateful to be able to live another day.
…
Tang Mo 'er held Jun Xiqing's hand and went downstairs. Lu Yeming was already in the dining room.
He was sitting at the main seat and Fan Men was reporting something to him in a low voice. He was listening with his eyes lowered. The bright yellow lights of the dining room shone on him and he was so handsome and exquisite that it was dazzling.
Seeing that they had arrived, Fan Men quickly left.
