Jun Xiqing hadn't been with Lu Yeming for a long time. Ever since Jiu You's wedding three months ago, she had ended their past with three shots. She hadn't seen him since.
Now that he was kissing her, he was still the same Lu Yeming, overbearing and irresistible. But his kiss had become much gentler.
For a man of his status and power, once he became gentle, it was lethal.
The knocking continued. "Young Madam, Young Madam!"
Jun Xiqing's lashes quivered and she bit down hard on the corner of Lu Yeming's lips.
The faint taste of blood quickly spread in her mouth.
Lu Yeming felt the pain and slowly released her red lips.
He straightened up, stood silently by her bedside for a moment, and then went to the window.
Her vision was too dark. Jun Xiqing could see him standing there quietly, one hand in his trouser pocket, the other raised to wipe the bleeding corner of his lips. There was a hint of wildness in his aloof demeanor.
His aura was too strong and when he was silent, it was so mesmerizing that one couldn't take their eyes off him.
Jun Xiqing quickly said, "I'm fine, I'm already asleep. You can all leave."
"Yes, Young Madam."
Everyone outside the door had left.
The room was very quiet and neither of them spoke again.
After a while, Lu Yeming left and the room door closed.
Once he left, Jun Xiqing's tense nerves slowly relaxed. She placed her hands on her protruding tummy, no longer feeling sleepy.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Baby, you like Daddy a lot, don't you?
…
Xia Ling returned to her room and the two of them chatted for a while before falling asleep. The next day, they woke up very late.
The private yacht was about to reach East Mountain in an hour.
Mu Yanfeng wasn't around, but Mu Yanfeng's trusted aide, Tie Yi, was around. Tie Yi's life had been saved by Mu Yanfeng, so Tie Yi was loyal to the Mu Family.
Tie Yi came to Jun Xiqing's side and said respectfully, "Young Madam, we'll reach East Mountain in an hour. I just received news that there's some activity there. Country A's Emperor, Lu Yeming, has already sent people there."
Jun Xiqing halted and turned back to look at Tie Yi. "What do you mean?"
Tie Yi whispered, "Young Madam, Lu Yeming must have received news that Young Master is in East Mountain. Lu Yeming is in love with Young Madam and wanted to take Young Madam away at the wedding three months ago. He definitely doesn't want Young Master to be alive. I think Lu Yeming will kill Young Master before we can save her."
Jun Xiqing's eyes were as clear as spring water, sparkling with intelligence.
Tie Yi observed Jun Xiqing's expression carefully before saying, "Young Madam, this trip to Country A's borders will be fraught with danger. She is pregnant with Young Master's only child, I don't think Lu Yeming will be able to tolerate it. We are enemies after all. Rather than waiting for death, why don't we make the first move?"
He who strikes first gains the upper hand.
Hearing this, Jun Xiqing's red lips curved slightly and she laughed. "Tie Yi, tell me, what should I do?"
Tie Yi had been observing Jun Xiqing's expression all this while, but he was disappointed. Jun Xiqing didn't reveal anything.
Jun Xiqing was very young, only 23 years old, but she had a calm personality and was adept at scheming. She might not be as powerful as Lu Yeming, but she was very alert. She was a person who was constantly growing.
Tie Yi deliberated for a moment before saying, "Young Madam, I saw Country A's General Xuan Ying last night. I was thinking that since Xuan Ying is on this private yacht, then … Lu Yeming must be there too.
This private yacht belongs to Young Master Yu. If we can take down Lu Yeming here, then … "
Jun Xiqing's smile deepened. "Tie Yi, even if Lu Yeming and Xuan Ying are here, how confident are we of taking them down?"
"Young Madam, of course we can't fight them head-on. We definitely have to outsmart them. Lu Yeming is in love with you now. If you use your beauty to seduce them …"
Before Tie Yi could finish his words, Jun Xiqing threw the heat pack in her hands against the wall.
It was already winter. The private yacht was fully heated and everyone was wearing less clothing.
But Jun Xiqing's pregnant body was suddenly very afraid of the cold these days. She had to carry a heat pack everywhere she went.
The thermos hit the wall and let out a dull sound. Tie Yi was shocked and cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
He saw Jun Xiqing's delicate face turn cold. She looked down at him coldly, her gaze as sharp as a knife.
Tie Yi's heart trembled. He hadn't expected such a young Young Madam to have such an aura and charisma.
"Young Madam, I … I …"
Jun Xiqing slowly retracted her gaze. "I'm tired. I'll leave first. Get someone to pack up and we'll head straight for East Mountain once we're ashore."
With that, Jun Xiqing turned to leave.
"Yes, Young Madam."
Tie Yi hurriedly nodded and even picked up the heat pack on the floor.
…
Jun Xiqing came to the cabin. She was wearing a white chiffon dress and a white fur cloak. She looked like an immortal.
She lifted her eyes and looked ahead.
The road ahead was very long and seemed endless.
"Qingqing."
At this moment, Dongfang Yu walked over and stuffed a heat pack into her hand.
"Brother." Jun Xiqing instantly smiled. "Where's Sister-in-law? Brother and Sister-in-law didn't go out the entire night."
Dongfang Yu was naturally in high spirits today. His eyes were clearer and gentler than usual. He reached out to stroke Jun Xiqing's long hair. "Don't stand here. The wind is strong and the doctor said that the fetus isn't in the right position. We must be careful not to give birth prematurely."
Jun Xiqing placed her hand on her stomach. "I'll just stand here for a while. It'll be fine."
Dongfang Yu put his arm around Jun Xiqing's shoulder. "Qingqing, Brother will always be with you. So don't be afraid."
Don't be afraid.
Jun Xiqing curved her red lips. "Brother, who do you think I am? I'm the youngest daughter of the Jun family. Why would I ever be afraid?"
Dongfang Yu looked at her dotingly. "Qingqing, you value relationships the most in this life, so you're also the most afraid of relationships. You don't dare to take a step forward. Ah, you're such a coward."
Jun Xiqing's eyes reddened.
…
Dongfang Yu and Jun Xiqing were together while Mu Yutang and Xia Ling entered the dining room together. Seeing Mu Yutang's blissful expression, Xia Ling's bad mood from last night was swept away.
"Angel, I've brought you a glass of warm milk."
Young Master Hua handed a glass of warm milk to Xia Ling.
Xia Ling smiled and thanked him. At this moment, she saw a tall figure in front of her. Xuan Ying had also arrived.
