Jun Xiqing had come.
Sometimes, Ye Ruge wondered if Lu Yeming would have chosen her if Jun Xiqing hadn't been there.
She had once been the closest person to Lu Yeming, but the moment Jun Xiqing appeared, the distance between the two of them became like the ends of the earth.
She had lost.
But she didn't hate Jun Xiqing.
Because she loved Lu Yeming.
Ye Ruge knew that she had never entered Lu Yeming's heart. If Lu Yeming had chosen her, she wouldn't have been able to bring him joy and happiness. But Jun Xiqing could.
Jun Xiqing had caused him pain, pain, and madness. But now, he was filled with endless joy.
Ye Ruge was glad that there was a Jun Xiqing in this world.
Moreover, Jun Xiqing had given birth to His Highness' son, the Crown Prince of Country A. Just this point alone made her speechless.
Would His Highness be able to return tomorrow? If he didn't, what would be waiting for Jun Xiqing?
Ye Ruge suddenly felt that she wasn't jealous at all. She wasn't indignant at all. Jun Xiqing was the woman who could rival His Highness.
Ye Ruge reached out and hugged Lu Yeming.
Lu Yeming froze when he was suddenly hugged. In the next second, he pushed her away. "Ruge."
Lu Yeming furrowed his brows, his low voice carrying a hint of sharpness.
Ye Ruge didn't want to let go, pressing her face against his chest. "Your Highness, if you don't come back tomorrow, I will definitely protect your business just like Xuan Ying and Fan Men did. I will also listen to you and find a good man to marry as soon as possible."
"But Your Highness, let me hug you now. Just a little," Ye Ruge begged.
Lu Yeming's hand froze for a moment, his thin lips curved upwards and he patted Ye Ruge's back gently.
They were friends.
Jun Xiqing had come. She had come out to look for Lu Yeming. The moment she stepped out of the room, she saw Lu Yeming with Ye Ruge and Fan Men.
She walked over but she suddenly paused when she saw Ye Ruge hugging Lu Yeming.
Lu Yeming didn't push Ye Ruge away, instead, he patted her back.
When Fan Men saw this, he said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Miss Jun is here."
Jun Xiqing had arrived.
Hearing this, Lu Yeming quickly pushed Ye Ruge away and turned his head to look in Jun Xiqing's direction. He didn't look guilty at all, but his lips curved into a fawning smile. "Qingqing, why did you come out?"
Jun Xiqing's eyes landed on his handsome face. "I came out to see why you weren't back yet. Did you really get seduced by some girl outside?"
Lu Yeming walked forward and held her hand. "How could that be? I was just discussing something here."
"Then you're really amazing. Just talking about this matter, there are even beauties throwing themselves at you."
"Qingqing, I …"
Jun Xiqing retracted her hand forcefully. "Aren't you guys discussing business? I won't disturb you then."
Jun Xiqing turned to leave.
"Qingqing, wait for me. It's not what you see. Let me explain …"
Jun Xiqing entered the room and slammed the door shut.
Lu Yeming, who had been given the cold shoulder, was speechless.
Lu Yeming glanced sideways, shooting Ye Ruge a displeased glare. She was doing it on purpose.
Ye Ruge's scalp went numb and she shrank back in fear.
…
Lu Yeming stood outside the door and knocked on it. "Qingqing, open the door and let me in."
There was no reply.
"Qingqing, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. There's nothing going on between me and Ruge. I just hugged her out of courtesy. Please forgive me this once and let me in.
"Qingqing, let me in first. If you're still angry, I'll punish myself by sleeping on the sofa today, alright?"
Fan Men stood at the side and watched. He had followed His Highness for so many years and this was the first time he had seen His Highness lower himself to coax a girl. But His Highness was happy because he was smiling.
It was great to have such a His Highness.
The door wasn't opened. Ye Ruge walked forward and smiled coldly. "Your Highness, since Miss Jun isn't going to open the door, you can sleep in my room tonight."
Lu Yeming glared at Ye Ruge — -Shut up.
Not only did Ye Ruge not shut up, she even raised her voice. "Your Highness, I suddenly feel a little dizzy. Can you carry me back to my room? I'm so dizzy."
Before Ye Ruge could finish her words, the door opened and Jun Xiqing appeared at the door.
Jun Xiqing tugged on Lu Yeming's sleeve and pulled him into her room.
"Qingqing, I …" Lu Yeming's eyes lit up and he wanted to say something.
"Go in first. Don't talk." Jun Xiqing turned around and said fiercely to Lu Yeming.
"Got it." Lu Yeming obediently turned around and entered the room.
Ye Ruge looked at this scene in disbelief. Her impression of Lu Yeming had always been that high and mighty, unfathomable and dignified His Highness. But to think that there would be a day when he would be so obediently treated like this by a woman.
Ye Ruge wanted to continue looking, but Jun Xiqing had already walked out and closed the door, blocking her line of sight.
"Miss Ye, I could tell that you were hugging Lu Yeming on purpose just now. You even said those words to me on purpose. Do you have something to say to me?" Jun Xiqing's bright eyes landed on Ye Ruge's face.
Ye Ruge had to admit that Jun Xiqing was an extremely intelligent woman. She curved her red lips. "I'm just saying what I mean. I hope that you can reconcile with His Highness and have a good time tonight."
The fact that Ye Ruge was able to survive among so many women who adored Lu Yeming and was even looked up to by him, Jun Xiqing felt that Ye Ruge had an air of heroism and freedom that ordinary women didn't have.
"Miss Jun, actually His Highness's cornea is a perfect match. I came here this time to donate my cornea to His Highness, but His Highness rejected me."
Jun Xiqing's eyes narrowed. Although she knew that Ye Ruge loved Lu Yeming, she didn't expect Ye Ruge to love him so much that she was willing to donate her cornea to him.
"And that time when you were in danger in East Mountain, you had a premature birth and there was a lot of blood loss. His Highness had actually already undergone a cornea surgery and it was the last day of his recovery. But in order to save you, His Highness forcefully removed his blindfold, causing the surgery to fail."
What?
Jun Xiqing was stunned. She didn't know about this. She didn't know about this.
Ye Ruge looked at Jun Xiqing. "Miss Jun, all the dissatisfaction and complaints we had towards you previously were only because you have His Highness's love. Please love His Highness well. He deserves your love."
