Chapter 1239 - Empress Star (1/2)
Jun Xiqing had always been intelligent as a child and was skilled in the art of disguise. She was well-versed in the subject of plastic surgery too, and could tell that this stunning beauty had not had any work done to her face. Her soft and gentle looks were gifted by the heavens.
Most people in this world had similar faces.
Even in the entertainment industry, there were actresses who looked so much like each other that people couldn’t tell them apart.
This stunning beauty looked like Elder Sister Mo’er’s twin. Even her gentle gaze and charm were the same.
Dongfang Ruoli looked at Lu Yeming and smiled gently. “West Duke, it’s been a long time since we last met. Have you been well?”
As Lu Yeming looked at Dongfang Ruoli, he said warmly in a low voice, “Thank you for your concern, Holy Lady.”
“I personally made this pouch. West Duke, please accept it.”
Lu Yeming didn’t reach out to take it. He glanced sideways and saw Jun Xiqing’s small face in the window.
He had been discovered!
Jun Xiqing blinked quickly and laughed under her breath. “So West Duke is meeting a pretty lady here at night.”
Seeing her cold demeanor, Lu Yeming frowned.
Jun Xiqing’s bright watery eyes landed on Dongfang Ruoli’s body and she said aloud, “Wow, this Fairy Sister is really beautiful. The two of you look like a match made in heaven.”
Hearing her words of praise, Dongfang Ruoli blushed and looked at Lu Yeming tenderly.
“The two of you have a nice chat. I won’t bother you.” Jun Xiqing shut the blinds in their faces.
“West Duke, who is that?” Dongfang Ruoli asked.
Without taking another look at Dongfang Ruoli, Lu Yeming gazed at the tightly-shut blinds and said, “Holy Lady, I need to settle something, so I’ll be taking my leave first.”
He walked away.
Dongfang Ruoli froze, her hands still poised to hand the pouch to him. She looked over, only to see Lu Yeming stop in front of her door and knock loudly.
A light and breezy voice floated out of the room. “Who’s that?”
Lu Yeming pressed his thin lips together unhappily and said, “Open the door.”
“West Duke, it’s late and I want to rest. We can talk tomorrow.”
Dongfang Ruoli’s glass eyes darkened. How dare the woman inside shut the West Duke out?
“You’re really not going to open it?” he chuckled.
“No.”
As soon as he said that, Lu Yeming raised his long legs and kicked the door down.
Dongfang Ruoli’s eyes widened at the loud noise.
He stood tall and dignified in front of her, coldness emanating from him. She had never seen him kick down a door before. His razor-sharp trousers were wrapped around his long and shapely legs. An aura of arrogance and indifference surrounded him as he kicked the door down.
Who knew that a woman could make him so angry.
Make him so different from his usual self.
Maybe he didn’t even notice the change in himself. The difference in him was so slight that no one would have noticed it anyways.
Jun Xiqing exclaimed as he kicked the door down. He walked in and closed the door behind him.
…
The soundproofing in this room was excellent, so Dongfang Ruoli couldn’t hear what they were saying or doing inside at all.
“Holy Lady, it’s getting cold. Let’s go back,” said Xiao Guo, one of the maids.
“Do you know who is staying in that room?”
“Holy Lady, I’ve heard that the third daughter of the Jun Family, Jun Xiqing, is currently staying there.”
“Jun Xiqing…” Dongfang Ruoli repeated her name silently.
Xiao Guo smiled and said, “Holy Lady, you don’t need to worry about her. Monk Xuanyi has once visited here to give Holy Lady a divination. He said that Holy Lady will be the Phoenix Queen and become the mother of the world!”
That’s right, she was destined to become the Phoenix Queen.
