Lu Yeming, let's get married.
She whispered to him softly.
Lu Yeming's heart softened. It was as if a feather had gently brushed across the lake in his heart, causing ripples to form in his heart.
His large hands wrapped around her slender waist. Lu Yeming curved his thin lips. "Why did you think of marrying me?"
Jun Xiqing's eyes were red, the faint pink color accentuating her delicate face. She looked at him with bright eyes. "Lu Yeming, do you want to marry me?"
Of course he did.
He had wanted to marry her since the first time he saw her. That had never changed.
But his body …
Lu Yeming's soft lips pressed against her forehead intimately. "Qingqing, I've been too busy recently. Let's talk about it after this period, hm?"
Jun Xiqing lowered her long lashes. Placing her hands on his muscular chest, she pushed him away.
"Got it. You can go back to work then."
Jun Xiqing turned around, her back facing him.
Lu Yeming went forward, pressing his lips against her delicate body from behind. "Qingqing, are you angry?"
"I'm not. I can't force you if you don't want to marry me. Don't you have a meeting? You can go back to work."
"Qingqing …"
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Fan Men's voice could be heard from outside. "Your Highness, it's time. We really have to go."
They couldn't be late for such a high-level meeting.
Lu Yeming kissed Jun Xiqing's cheek. "Qingqing, I have to go. We'll talk about this when I'm back."
Jun Xiqing didn't turn around. She lowered her eyes to look at the carpet and said in a low voice, "Mm, you can go."
Lu Yeming glanced at her and left.
…
After Lu Yeming left, Jun Xiqing got onto the bed and went to sleep.
But she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. Her mind was filled with thoughts of seven days. After tonight, there were only five days left.
Two days had already passed. There was no such thing as seven days. They only had five days left.
In these five days, he still had to put all his energy into work. He really didn't have much time to spare on her and Cheng Ye.
She and Lu Yeming had shouldered too much on this journey.
Jun Xiqing buried her face in the snow-white pillow. She had never been a weak person. In the six months that he had disappeared, she had done everything well. But now, she really felt weak and helpless.
Jun Xiqing didn't know when she had fallen asleep, but she woke up when the first rays of the morning sun shone through the curtains.
It was already early morning.
Jun Xiqing reached out to feel around. It was empty and cold. He wasn't there.
Lu Yeming didn't return.
Jun Xiqing got off the bed, washed up and went downstairs. The television in the living room was playing a piece of news.
— -According to reports, a few riots have broken out at the western border of Country A. Mu Yanfeng has led his elite troops to stir up trouble at the western border and started a military war. The emperor of Country A, Lu Yeming, flew to Petersburg at two in the morning today. According to accurate news, two days later, Lu Yeming will personally lead the army to the western border to quell the riots and end this three-way war that has spanned a hundred years.
With a loud thud, the cup in Jun Xiqing's hand fell onto the carpet, spilling all the warm water inside.
"Mommy ~ Mommy ~ Daddy is so handsome ~"
Little Chengye ran over and tugged at the corner of Jun Xiqing's dress, pointing at the man on the screen.
Jun Xiqing's eyes were fixed on the screen. It was filled with people. A sea of reporters with microphones in their hands, waiting anxiously.
The entire area was cordoned off and armed men in black controlled the scene. At this moment, a presidential limousine with the golden letter 'A' on it sped over. The back door was pulled open respectfully and Lu Yeming appeared.
Lu Yeming was wearing a black coat and the white shirt he had worn last night. Even his tie had been personally tied by Jun Xiqing. It was obvious that he hadn't slept the entire night. His handsome jaw was already covered with a faint layer of stubble and his deep almond-shaped eyes were bloodshot. It wasn't clear whether it was because of the atmosphere or the tense state affairs, but Lu Yeming was even colder than usual.
As soon as he appeared, everyone's eyes lit up, and their gazes fell on him with a 'shua shua' sound.
Lu Yeming had always been looked up to since he was born.
— - Your Highness, the descendant of Jiu You, Mu Yanfeng, is openly provoking the western border and starting a violent war. May I ask if you will personally lead the army into battle in two days' time?
The reporters' flashes were all aimed at him. Lu Yeming stood in the middle of the crowd, his deep almond-shaped eyes suddenly landing on the cameras.
Jun Xiqing's heart thumped. She felt as though they were looking at each other through the screen.
She was looking at him.
He was looking at her too.
Lu Yeming's thin lips moved and he said simply, "Yes."
He would personally lead the army into battle in two days' time.
The crowd cheered. The tense atmosphere was instantly relieved by Lu Yeming's' yes'.
Lu Yeming had been on the throne for five years. After five years, the world would once again witness the glory of the West Duke who had shaken the world at the tender age of 18!
The reporters still wanted to interview him, but Lu Yeming had already boarded the car. Fan Men blocked all the interviews. "I'm sorry, everyone. The interview will end here. The state affairs department has already set a date for the day after tomorrow. His Highness will personally lead the army into battle at the western border to quell the rebellion. We will definitely win this battle!"
The interview ended. Even the emcee had switched between Mandarin and English to report in perfect English. The famous West Duke would once again lead the army into battle!
Seeing this, Jun Xiqing's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
It was as though a hand had pushed her into the abyss in the darkness.
Last night, Feng Sinan had told her that there were still seven days left …
But there were only five days left and the countdown was already starting. Today was the fifth day …
Now, the entire world was telling her that Lu Yeming was going to lead the army into battle. She was the last one to know.
So there weren't even five days left.
Today, tomorrow, it would be in these two days.
Two days later, he would be leaving early the day after tomorrow.
She was completely unprepared.
She had been completely caught off guard by this outcome.
"Mommy ~ Mommy ~"
Little Cheng Ye could see that his mommy was acting strangely. He tugged at his mommy's skirt with his fair hands and looked at his mommy worriedly.
Jun Xiqing lowered her long lashes. She wanted to coax little Cheng Ye gently, but no sound came out of her mouth. Her throat was so dry, as though someone had set a fire in her heart.
This fire burned her and her entire body hurt.
Jun Xiqing's eyes felt hot. A layer of hot tears had already formed in her eyes and they were about to fall down at any moment.
At this moment, the phone in the living room rang. A maid said respectfully, "Miss Jun, His Highness is calling."
Lu Yeming had called back.
