The white veil covered Jun Xiqing's beautiful face. Mu Yutang smiled. "Qingqing, this veil is on. Only the groom can take it off."
But it was a pity that this wedding was destined to have no groom. Mu Yanfeng's whereabouts were still unknown.
Xia Ling and Mu Yutang held Jun Xiqing's hand, their hearts aching for her. Although this was Qingqing's decision, they didn't know if Mu Yanfeng would be able to come back. Qingqing was only 23 years old, she was already in the prime of her life. This wedding without a groom was just too unfair.
Jun Xiqing's red lips curved upwards, her eyes sparkling. "Elder Sister Ling, Elder Sister Yutang, I know you're worried about me, but I don't feel wronged at all. In the past, I've been through so much scheming and it's too tiring. My life is peaceful now, I've married someone who loves me. If Yanfeng comes back, I'll love him with all my heart. I'll give birth to the child in my tummy and I'll be someone's wife and mother in the future."
Jun Xiqing stretched out her hand, placing it gently on her protruding belly.
Xia Ling and Mu Yutang looked at each other. They could tell that Qingqing had already made up her mind.
Qingqing no longer cared about love or hate towards Lu Yeming. There was no need to dwell on the past, it would only distort her image. Qingqing was just too tired.
She was tired, tired, tired, tired. She would let go.
Qingqing had chosen another person, another kind of life that would last for a long time.
"Qingqing, sit here. We'll go out and take a look. Once the auspicious hour arrives, you'll have to walk down the red carpet."
Xia Ling and Mu Yutang walked out.
Everyone left. Jun Xiqing sat on the chair, the candles flickering on the windowsill. Her world was peaceful and beautiful.
She lowered her long lashes, placing her hands on her protruding belly. At this moment, she felt her palms move.
Aiya, the baby was moving!
The baby was moving!
This was the first time the baby had moved!
Jun Xiqing's eyes were filled with joy. She patted her tummy and said, "Little one, hello. I'm your mommy …"
Thud.
The little guy inside moved again.
Jun Xiqing's red lips curved upwards, filled with sweetness.
At this moment, he heard the sound of the door opening. Someone had entered, and the sound of steady footsteps approached.
Jun Xiqing looked up. "Sister Ling, Sister Yutang, you two …"
The next second, her words came to an abrupt halt. The person who entered wasn't Xia Ling or Mu Yutang, but Lu Yeming.
Lu Yeming was here!
Today, Lu Yeming was wearing a black coat and a pair of black leather gloves. His chiseled features were dyed with the frost of the weather, making him look exceptionally handsome and extraordinary.
He walked in, bringing with him a wave of coldness. The red candles flickered, making his tall, jade-like body look like a mural, making people unable to shift their eyes away from him.
Jun Xiqing's eyes narrowed. Why was he here?
At this moment, Lu Yeming walked in front of her. He was standing tall while she was sitting. The two of them were worlds apart.
Lu Yeming's deep almond-shaped eyes landed on her. He looked at her in her wedding gown, then slowly reached out to take off her veil.
What was he doing?
The bride's veil could only be removed by the groom. What did he mean by taking off her veil the moment he entered?
"No." Jun Xiqing wanted to push him away.
But it was too late. Lu Yeming was even faster. His long fingers hooked onto a corner of the veil and he lifted it up.
Jun Xiqing's face, which was lightly powdered, entered his line of sight.
She had exquisite eyebrows, a delicate nose, bright eyes and red lips that were like rose petals. When these features were put together, she exuded an aura that ordinary girls didn't have.
With her veil removed, Jun Xiqing quickly stood up and looked at the man in front of her warily. "President Lu, if you're here to attend the wedding, then I'll welcome you with open arms. But if you're here to cause trouble, then this is Jiu You. Please leave immediately!"
Lu Yeming's gaze didn't leave her face at all. When she was embarrassed and angry, her eyes would shoot out a cold glare that was very captivating.
He curved his thin lips. "Qingqing, I'll leave. But I'll be taking you with me."
He was going to take her with him.
Jun Xiqing's eyes turned cold. "President Lu, what do you mean by this?"
Lu Yeming walked forward and held her soft hand. "Qingqing, come with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took her hand and walked away.
"Lu Yeming, let go of me! I told you to let go of me, did you hear me? "Jun Xiqing wanted to fling his large hand away.
But Lu Yeming held her hand tightly in his, pulling open the door and holding her hand as they walked out.
At this moment, Xia Ling and Mu Yutang had just returned. When they saw this scene, they were shocked. "Qingqing! President Lu, let go of Qingqing! "
Lu Yeming glanced at the two of them impassively before pulling Jun Xiqing away.
"Your Highness!"
"Young Madam!"
At this moment, more and more people rushed over. Jiu You and the Mu Family had all rushed over.
Lu Yeming didn't stop. He pulled Jun Xiqing along as they ran. Jun Xiqing's stomach was bulging and she was afraid of falling. She lifted the hem of her dress with one hand and the white chiffon skirt drew a beautiful arc on the ground.
He was going to take her away from this wedding.
Jun Xiqing forcefully retracted her hand and stopped. "Lu Yeming, that's enough! I've said it before, we're done! "
Lu Yeming turned around and placed both hands on her smooth shoulders. "Qingqing, let's forget about the past. Give me a chance and let's start anew."
Jun Xiqing lifted her eyes and looked at his handsome face. "Lu Yeming, let's go. My men are already here. You can't take me away and I won't leave with you. You are the President of our country and I don't want to kill you. I don't want our two countries to go to war and create rivers of blood. So don't force me."
At this moment, many people rushed over. A group of armed Imperial Guards had surrounded the place.
Jun Xiqing pushed Lu Yeming away forcefully and turned around.
"Your Highness." Ping Ping looked at Jun Xiqing anxiously.
Jun Xiqing turned around and took a few steps. At this moment, she heard a set of steady footsteps. Lu Yeming had followed her.
Jun Xiqing lowered her long lashes. When she looked up again, she had turned around and there was a gun in her hand.
She aimed the black muzzle at Lu Yeming's heart.
Lu Yeming gradually stopped in his tracks.
Now, the two of them were separated by some distance, as if they were separated by the ends of the earth. He was here, and she was standing there.
This was her territory. She was now the Jiu You Holy Lady, the Young Madam of the Mu Family. Her men were all behind her.
She stood in the middle of the sea of people, dressed in a white veil.
She held a gun and pointed it at his heart.
"Lu Yeming, I've already said it. Don't force me. I don't want to kill you with my own hands. So I'll give you one last chance. Go."
Lu Yeming looked at her cold little face. There was no longer any warmth in her eyes or her face.
They had known each other for so many years and they had schemed against each other. He had put her in danger several times and she hadn't even looked back. She had pushed him into a bloodbath several times and hadn't even looked back.
As for the past, there had always been a lack of true love between them.
She didn't seem to love him that much.
He didn't seem to have fallen in love with her.
But this was the first time she had personally pointed a gun at his heart.
Lu Yeming gradually stopped in his tracks. He looked at her with his deep almond-shaped eyes. "Qingqing, I won't leave. I want to take you with me."
Jun Xiqing curved her red lips coldly. "Do you really think that I won't dare to kill you?"
"If you dare, I don't doubt that you will shoot me." Lu Yeming stretched out a long finger and pointed at his heart. "I've already been injured here many times because of you. If you want to put a bullet through my heart with your own hands this time, you can do it."
Lu Yeming lifted his leg and walked towards Jun Xiqing.
Jun Xiqing looked at him as she walked towards him step by step.
She chuckled softly and pressed her slender fingers down.
Bang.
There was the sound of a gunshot. Jun Xiqing had fired and the bullet hit Lu Yeming's right leg.
With a thud, Lu Yeming knelt on one knee.
He had been shot in his right leg and blood stained his black trousers.
His fringe fell over his forehead, covering his deep almond-shaped eyes. A few seconds later, he stood up again.
"Qingqing, if I can walk to your side, you will leave with me, alright?"
He looked at her with bloodshot eyes and continued to limp over.
Jun Xiqing aimed the gun at his left leg. "Lu Yeming, you are the heartless one. Why are you pretending to be affectionate now?"
With a bang, the bullet hit Lu Yeming's left leg.
With a thud, Lu Yeming knelt down on both knees.
Even a high and mighty emperor like Lu Yeming's tall, jade-like body suddenly collapsed as he knelt down on both knees.
It was frightening.
Blood stained the grass and Lu Yeming's chest heaved up and down. With his large palms on the ground, he took a few seconds to stand up again.
"Qingqing, I'm here. I can definitely take you away."
Lu Yeming's thin lips curled into a gentle smile. He lifted his feet and walked towards Jun Xiqing again.
This time, Jun Xiqing raised her hand and aimed the gun at Lu Yeming's heart.
"Lu Yeming, we can't turn back anymore. Don't force me. When you shot my brother, you taught me how to hit your heart. So this time, I guarantee that I will be able to pierce your heart without fail. When that time comes, you will really die."
Lu Yeming looked at Jun Xiqing, the smile on his lips unchanging. "Alright, then I'll take a gamble. I'll bet that you still have me in your heart. If you can't bear to hit me, then let me walk to your side and take you away."
This was a gamble that could overturn the world.
He was betting everything on her.
If he won, then he would take her away.
If he lost, then he would have to pay with his life.
He walked over, getting closer and closer to her. Then he reached out to hold her soft hand.
Jun Xiqing didn't avoid it. She pressed her index finger down. Bang!
