Little Crown Prince, Mommy wants to talk to Daddy. Let's go out and play for a while, okay? "Madam Wang walked over.
Little Chengye looked at Mommy, nodded obediently and left with Madam Wang.
Jun Xiqing took the phone from him.
"Qingqing." A deep and magnetic voice came from the other end, tinged with fatigue. It was Lu Yeming's voice, it was exceptionally pleasant to the ears.
He was calling her, Qingqing.
Jun Xiqing gripped the phone tightly, her face drained of all color. Lowering her long lashes, she didn't say a word.
"Ha." Lu Yeming gave a low laugh, his tone gentle and doting. "Qingqing, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Jun Xiqing gripped the phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white. "Lu Yeming, are you … going to war?"
The moment she said that, the other end fell silent.
A few seconds later, Lu Yeming replied impassively, "Mm."
Tears streamed down Jun Xiqing's cheeks. She covered her mouth with her hand and lifted her teary eyes, saying, "Lu Yeming, can you not go? I don't want you to go to war. Can you accompany me and our son?"
"Qingqing, this time, Mu Yanfeng has gathered all his elite troops and is staking it all on the western border. The situation is tense now and only I can go there personally to exterminate him. I have to get rid of the network of power he has built up over the years and end this century-old feud. Qingqing, I have no choice but to go."
Tears streamed down Jun Xiqing's face. "I know all of this, but I don't care. I don't want to care and I can't. Lu Yeming, my request is very simple. Can you accompany me and our son? I haven't seen you for almost a day and I miss you so much."
"Qingqing," Lu Yeming called out to her helplessly. "Be good and stop fooling around."
He said, be good and stop fooling around.
Jun Xiqing knew that she was fooling around. He was Lu Yeming, the ruler of Country A. He had never belonged to her alone.
Even if he only had seven days to live, he couldn't give these seven days to her, to Little Chengye.
He had his responsibilities and a mission. Many people needed him, the country needed him, especially in such a chaotic time.
How could she be so selfish and willful?
"Lu Yeming, alright, I'll stop. I'm sorry, but let's get married. Marry me, alright?"
Lu Yeming fell silent again. "Qingqing …"
"You don't want to, do you?" Tears rolled down Jun Xiqing's cheeks.
"Qingqing …"
"You don't want to, you don't want to marry me. Lu Yeming, I've been waiting for you for the past half a year. Sometimes, in the dead of the night, I think that if you really don't come back, 18 years is nothing. I will wait for you for the rest of my life!"
"But now I've changed my mind. I don't want to wait anymore. Why should I listen to you? Who am I to you?"
"Lu Yeming, I don't want to love you anymore. Loving you hurts so much!"
"Qingqing …"
With two beeps, Jun Xiqing hung up the phone.
…
After hanging up the phone, Jun Xiqing's legs gave way and her delicate body fell onto the carpet like a kite with a broken string.
"Ding ding ding." The phone in the living room rang again. It was Lu Yeming.
Jun Xiqing didn't pick it up.
Bending her knees, she stretched out her slender arms and hugged herself. Then she buried her tear-stained face in her knees and burst into tears.
She didn't want to love him anymore.
She didn't want him anymore.
Only by doing this would she be able to stop the heart-wrenching pain. Only then would she be able to take deep breaths.
So this was the ending for him and her.
It wasn't even seven days.
He was already on the final journey of his life. It was a short journey, but he wouldn't die by her side.
He would die at the far western border. She wouldn't even be able to see him one last time.
She was afraid.
She was really afraid.
She wanted to escape.
The further the better.
…
The presidential limousine sped over and stopped on the lawn. A maid hurriedly opened the main doors of the palace. Lu Yeming had rushed back.
"Your Highness, you're back?"
Lu Yeming didn't change out of his shoes. Instead, he strode into the living room. Dressed in black, his deep almond-shaped eyes scanned the room sharply. "Where is Miss Jun?"
"Miss Jun should be upstairs."
Lu Yeming ran upstairs and opened the door to the master bedroom. The room was empty. There wasn't a single person in it.
"Qingqing! Qingqing! "
Lu Yeming pushed open the bathroom, the wardrobe … but he couldn't find that delicate figure anywhere.
Jun Xiqing was gone.
Where did she go?
There was a note on the bedside table. Lu Yeming lowered his eyes to look at it. There was a line of words on it — -I'm going out for two days. I wish you success and a triumphant return. Oh yes, I won't be seeing you off on the day you leave. Take care.
She left.
She said she was going out for two days.
She even said she wouldn't be seeing him off on the day he left.
What did she mean?
Did she already know something?
Lu Yeming's eyes were bloodshot, and there was a thick darkness in them that wouldn't melt.
…
At the hospital.
Bai Xue's cell phone rang. It was a message from Jun Xiqing — -Ah Xue, come to the bar tonight.
Bai Xue replied — -Okay.
Just as this reply was sent, there was a "ding" sound. Another message came in — - Have you finished work yet?
It was from Sikong Heng.
Bai Xue had marked Sikong Heng as' Big Boss'. She owed him billions of US dollars. He was her Big Boss and he was here to collect the debt.
He was asking if she had finished work?
Bai Xue bit down on her red lips — -Yes.
— -Have you packed your things?
What are they?
Bai Xue lifted her bright eyes and sneaked a glance at the door. There was a mini suitcase there.
Both of them still remembered that he wanted her to move in with him.
Bai Xue replied — -Mm.
There was no reply.
Her cell phone didn't ring again.
What was he trying to do?
Bai Xue had indeed finished work. She had taken off her white coat, revealing a black silk blouse and a red and white checkered skirt. Her wavy hair was tied into a low ponytail and she was carrying a small silver bag. She exuded a seductive charm.
"Doctor Bai, are you moving?" a nurse asked curiously.
Bai Xue's exquisite face was a little hot, but she calmly curved her red lips. "Yes."
After getting off the elevator, Bai Xue dragged her suitcase out of the main entrance. She took out her car keys and prepared to drive off.
At this moment, a car horn sounded. Bai Xue lifted her eyes to see a silver Maybach parked by the roadside.
Maybachs had always been the first choice for private luxury cars. Silver was very picky and it was rare to see one on the streets. The silver Maybach exuded a mysterious aura of a successful man and it attracted 200% of the attention.
Bai Xue's heart jumped. She didn't need to guess to know that this was Sikong Heng's car.
