At night, the luxurious car arrived at the palace.
Jun Xiqing stretched lazily as she alighted from the car. She had slept so soundly, but her lips were red and swollen and even her tongue was numb.
"Ping Ping, was my mouth stung by a bee?" Jun Xiqing asked Ping Ping suspiciously.
Ping Ping blushed and averted her gaze. How was she supposed to tell Her Highness that it wasn't a bee sting, but … a kiss from President Lu?
President Lu kissed Her Highness for a long time.
It felt like he was kissing her the entire way, taking advantage of her sleep to bully her.
Jun Xiqing and Ping Ping moved into the palace. At night, Ping Ping combed Jun Xiqing's hair. "Your Highness, do you know what day it is tomorrow?"
"It's Dongfang Ruoli's birthday. I saw that the palace has already prepared a grand birthday party."
"Your Highness!" Ping Ping tapped Jun Xiqing's forehead. "Have you forgotten that tomorrow is also your 23rd birthday!"
What?
Jun Xiqing had really forgotten about her own birthday.
What was even more surprising was that she had the same birthday as Dongfang Ruoli. They were both 23 years old, born on the same day.
In the past, she would always celebrate her birthdays with her siblings.
But at the thought of her elder sister, Jun Xiyan, Jun Xiqing lowered her long lashes.
"Ping Ping, go back to your room and rest early."
"Yes, Your Highness."
…
Ping Ping walked out of the room. At this moment, she saw a tall figure in the corridor. It was Lu Yeming.
Lu Yeming had one hand in his pocket. Fan Men was standing beside him, reporting something to him.
"President Lu." Ping Ping walked up.
Lu Yeming turned to look at Ping Ping.
"President Lu, I have something to ask of you. Tomorrow is Her Highness' 23rd birthday. In the past, we would celebrate Her Highness' birthday in the wee hours of the morning, so I would like President Lu to help prepare a cake."
Lu Yeming raised his brows. His deep almond-shaped eyes looked past Ping Ping at Jun Xiqing's tightly shut room door.
Tomorrow was her birthday?
…
Jun Xiqing didn't sleep the entire night. She didn't know if it was because she had slept too much on the road, or because her siblings would always open her room door to celebrate her birthday.
The room was dimly lit. Jun Xiqing hugged her knees as she sat on the bed, looking out at the night sky.
Just then, her cell phone rang. She had an incoming call.
It was his brother, Jun Chulin.
Jun Xiqing's eyes softened as she picked up the call. She smiled sweetly and said, "Hello, Big Brother."
"Qingqing." Jun Chulin's displeased voice could be heard. "Xiyan has just returned and she has told us everything. Have you been bewitched by Lu Yeming? How dare you lay your hands on your own elder sister?"
Jun Xiqing paled. "Big Brother, let me explain …"
"Qingqing," Second Sister Jun Xiling's voice came from the other end. "You've really disappointed us this time!"
"Second Sister …"
The other end of the line beeped twice before hanging up.
Jun Xiqing valued her family and country the most in her life, and she was extremely protective. She was willing to sacrifice her life for her family.
Elder Sister Jun Xiyan's matter wasn't as simple as it seemed. Sometimes, Jun Xiqing didn't want to think too deeply about it. She didn't know what Elder Sister had said, but she had a bad feeling that Country Z was in trouble.
To be precise, her family and country, which she valued the most, were in trouble.
Jun Xiqing dialed Jun Chulin's number, but the line had been cut off.
When she dialed again, she heard a cold and robotic voice — - Sorry, the number you have dialed has been switched off.
Jun Xiqing clutched her cell phone tightly. It was her 23rd birthday, but she was like an abandoned kitten.
Her eyes reddened and she lowered her head, wanting to bury it in her knees.
"Knock knock." Someone was knocking on her door.
Jun Xiqing suddenly looked up. Her room door opened and a tall figure stood at the entrance.
Lu Yeming was wearing a black knit sweater and black trousers. His dark, diamond-like eyes were quietly looking at her reddened eyes. He was calm and composed.
Jun Xiqing's watery eyes narrowed. She hadn't expected him to barge in.
At this moment, Lu Yeming walked over to her bed.
He fought against the light, his long body casting a silhouette in front of her, blocking out all of her light.
She saw him suddenly raise his hand.
Jun Xiqing instinctively took a step back.
At this moment, his palm landed gently on her eyes, covering her reddened eyes.
"Don't cry."
He said, don't cry.
Those two simple words were uttered by him in an extremely low and magnetic voice. Jun Xiqing felt as if a feather was gently brushing past the lake in her heart, creating ripples on the surface of her heart.
He stretched out his arm, grabbed her delicate body, and carried her off the bed.
He placed her gently on the ground and wrapped his arms around her from behind, pulling her delicate body into his muscular embrace and pushing her out of the bed.
"Lu Yeming, what are you doing?" Jun Xiqing couldn't help but ask.
Lu Yeming kissed her silky hair and murmured in her ear, "Happy birthday."
birthday。”
She hadn't expected him to be the first to wish her 23rd birthday.
Brother's phone call just now had chilled her to the bone. Now that she was curled up in his embrace, she could feel the strong thumping of his heart. Jun Xiqing suddenly felt a warmth in her heart.
This man's embrace was so warm that it could shield any woman from the elements.
Lu Yeming pushed open the door and with a loud bang, a huge firework fell from above Jun Xiqing's head.
Ping Ping held two small fireworks in her hands and ran over happily. "Your Highness, happy birthday. You've grown up another year."
Fan Men stood amidst the fireworks and smiled. "President Jun, happy birthday. I wish you will always be as beautiful as a flower."
Jun Xiqing looked at the sky full of fireworks. The fireworks exploded with a sizzling sound, creating a myriad of colors.
"Thank you."
The corners of her red lips curved upwards as she smiled happily like a child. Taking the two fireworks from Ping Ping's hands, she ran over to light them up.
The fireworks danced in her hands.
"Wow, it's so fun."
Jun Xiqing spun around in circles happily.
She had never been so happy in the three years she had been President.
"Your Highness, look. Oh my god, it's a shooting star. Quick, make a wish!" Ping Ping shouted.
Jun Xiqing looked up. There really was a shooting star streaking across the sky in the distance.
She quickly threw away the fireworks, clasped her hands together and closed her eyes to make a wish — God, please bestow me a good husband!
Alright.
She had made her wish.
She had heard that making a wish in front of a shooting star was the most effective.
Jun Xiqing opened her eyes happily and turned around. The next second, she saw a pair of deep almond-shaped eyes. Lu Yeming was standing in front of her.
