Beside Lu Yeming was Leader Mu and the leader's daughter, Mu Yanyan, who was dressed in a pink dress.
Mu Yanyan was very famous in the socialite circle. She was highly educated and had been brought up as a lady since young. She was elegant and well-mannered. In addition, she was young and beautiful. These second-generation heirs who came to the Mu Family to ask for her hand in marriage were all going to break their heads.
But Mu Yanyan had high standards. She was 23 years old and had yet to have a boyfriend. She was the most pure and clean socialite in the circle.
Therefore, the people in the industry always had two words to describe Mu Yanyan — -Pure and holy.
Jun Xiqing glanced at Mu Yanyan. Mu Yanyan's face was flushed red as she looked at Lu Yeming.
It was true that Mu Yanyan had high standards. Her target was … Lu Yeming.
In the past, when Lu Yeming had Dongfang Ruoli, this Miss Mu was able to keep her composure and protect her chastity. Her reputation had spread far and wide. Now that Dongfang Ruoli had been crippled, Miss Mu had acted decisively. Jun Xiqing didn't dare to underestimate this Mu Yanyan anymore.
At this moment, two maids were gossiping softly.
— Look, His Highness and Miss Mu are so compatible. They're a perfect match.
— I heard that Leader Mu brought Miss Mu to His Highness for a matchmaking session. As long as His Highness agrees, Miss Mu will be our new Empress.
— His Highness is single now. Who knows how many leaders want to send their daughters to His Highness's bed?
— Miss Mu is pure and beautiful. I think His Highness will fall in love with her …
Hearing these words, Jun Xiqing pursed her red lips and left.
She wanted to leave the palace.
As she walked through the hall, a maid suddenly walked over and bumped into Jun Xiqing.
The maid apologized in shock. "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."
With that, the maid reached out and pulled Jun Xiqing's veil off her face.
"Ah!"
The maid screamed in shock.
This voice attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. Everyone's eyes turned to look at the source of the voice.
Jun Xiqing's small face was no longer veiled. Everyone could see the black aura on the right side of her face.
"Oh my god, isn't that Country Z's President Jun?"
"What happened to President Jun's face? Was it disfigured?"
"The youngest daughter of the Jun Family, Jun Xiqing, was a legend. Why is her face … so ugly now?"
Everyone whispered to each other.
Hearing the commotion, Lu Yeming turned around and looked over.
He immediately saw that Jun Xiqing was surrounded.
Lu Yeming's handsome brows slowly furrowed, and his handsome features exuded a cold aura.
He walked over.
Jun Xiqing saw Lu Yeming walking confidently on the red carpet. Every step he took was accompanied by a powerful gust of wind. The people around him all made way for him.
He walked over with steady, unhurried steps and stopped in front of her.
Lu Yeming's deep almond-shaped eyes swept past her eyes and landed on the right side of her face.
For the first time, he saw her ruined face.
"Ha." Lu Yeming gave a low laugh. "You're really ugly."
Jun Xiqing's face paled, but she didn't reveal her emotions. Bending down, she picked up the veil on the ground.
At this moment, Lu Yeming reached out and caressed the right side of her face.
Jun Xiqing froze.
Hiss.
Everyone gasped. Everyone stared at this scene in shock. The tall and handsome man stood in the middle of the hall, reaching out to caress Jun Xiqing's face.
Jun Xiqing hadn't expected him to touch her face in front of everyone. The two of them must have been in a cold war in the room just now.
Now his calloused fingertips caressed the black patch on her right cheek, and there was a tinge of tenderness in his eyes.
Jun Xiqing's heart softened. He was really, really good to women.
To be fair, in real life, there were so many men and women who were passionately in love who walked down the aisle hand in hand. But when the passion turned to calmness, how many men who were successful in their careers couldn't resist the temptations of the outside world and ended up keeping a mistress?
Love was a luxury. It was easy to break, and it was easy to … change people beyond recognition.
But the man in front of her wouldn't change.
He could hold on to loneliness, endure prosperity, and maintain a dignified demeanor day after day. He doted on her and held her in the palm of his hand.
If it wasn't for her, any other woman would have nodded.
Everyone thought she was ugly, but he was the only one who would reach out to caress her wounds.
At this moment, Lu Yeming calmly retracted his hand. He bent down and picked up her veil with his long fingers.
He personally helped her put it on.
Lu Yeming stood beside her, his broad shoulders shielding her behind him. His sharp, almond-shaped eyes scanned the hall.
Those who had called Jun Xiqing ugly just now felt their scalps go numb. They lowered their heads in fear.
Lu Yeming's gaze finally landed on the maid.
The maid was already trembling in fear. "Your Highness, I … I didn't do it on purpose. I'm sorry …"
Lu Yeming curved his thin lips and said coldly, "Who made you think that an apology would work on me?"
The maid looked at the man's handsome face in horror. She knelt down with a thud. "Your Highness, please spare me. I won't dare to do it again."
Lu Yeming looked at Fan Men impassively.
Fan Men ordered two of his men in black to drag the maid away.
At this moment, the entire place fell silent.
No one dared to speak.
This maid had accidentally bumped into Jun Xiqing and pulled off her veil. Did President Lu have to be so … protective?
"Sister Jun, I've heard a lot about you. Hello." At this moment, Mu Yanyan walked forward and smiled sweetly. "Sister Jun, I'm Mu Yanyan. You can call me Yanyan."
Mu Yanyan smiled innocently.
Jun Xiqing glanced at Mu Yanyan and walked away.
Her pretty figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
Mu Yanyan looked at Lu Yeming, who was in front of her. His gaze followed Jun Xiqing.
Mu Yanyan pouted her red lips and said pitifully, "President Lu, did I do something wrong? Sister Jun doesn't seem to like me."
Lu Yeming retracted his gaze and looked at Mu Yanyan's beautiful face. He said gently, "You didn't do anything wrong."
"Really?" Mu Yanyan smiled cutely.
…
Jun Xiqing walked out and Ping Ping followed behind her. "Your Highness, I think that Mu Yanyan is very pretentious. Women like us can tell that she's faking it with one look, but I heard that men like this, especially straight men."
Straight men?
Wasn't that Lu Yeming?
Jun Xiqing smiled but didn't say a word.
At this moment, someone walked out of the darkness. It was the High Priest of the Holy Lady Clan. "I heard that Your Highness is going to marry Leader Mu's daughter? I would like to advise Your Highness that the most important thing now is to find the real Holy Lady. The Holy Lady is Your Highness' empress. "
