Chapter 1264 - I’m Sorry, Qingqing (1/2)

Jun Xiqing took the letter and left to look for Lu Yeming. Standing outside a parterre, Jun Xiqing stopped walking when she saw Lu Yeming.

Among the beautiful flowers, Lu Yeming stood there, exuding a cool, charismatic aura that attracted the attention of many.

And he wasn’t alone, Dongfang Ruoli stood in front of him.

Dongfang Ruoli looked at him with clear infatuation, her face blushing crimson. Lu Yeming’s deep-set eyes landed on her face and he lifted his hand.

Jun Xiqing saw him touching Dongfang Ruoli’s face. As he did so, Dongfang Ruoli lowered her eyes, behaving coyly as Lu Yeming touched her face.

Without saying a word, Jun Xiqing just looked at them, then she turned around to leave.

…

After Jun Xiqing left, Dongfang Ruoli looked at the man before her eyes proudly, speaking up, “West Duke…”

Lu Yeming’s fingers brushed across her face, suddenly pausing and he lifted his eyes. With a monotonous voice, he said, “Do you know that you’re really annoying?”

What? Dongfang Ruoli was stunned.

Retracing his hand, his gaze was cold and distant. “You’re not worthy of this appearance you have.”

Then he turned around and left.

All the color drained from Dongfang Ruoli’s face. She knew that her only edge was having this exact appearance that resembled Tang Mo’er, and she was confident in making Lu Yeming obsessed over her since Tang Mo’er had already gone.

But just now… he just said that she wasn’t worthy of having this appearance!

…

West Palace.

In the room.

Lu Yeming took off his white shirt, his upper half bare. He had a muscular chest, trim waist and defined muscles that were impeccable. Behind him, Jun Xiqing was helping him apply some medication.

The scabs had already fallen, but the resulting scar was long and deep, it was from saving her at the rocky cliff. Though his wounds had already healed, the scars remained.

As Jun Xiqing stretched her arm out, she ran her fingertips over the scar. “Does it still hurt?”

Lu Yeming looked through windows, the city was lit up with neon lights, the beautiful night scene in his pupils and accentuated his dignified aura.

Over the past few days, she had been by his side. Her fingers ran over his scar just like a feather, expressing her concern for him.

Pulling on his white shirt, Lu Yeming did not tuck it in his pants. He buttoned it up, leaving a few on top undone, revealing his collarbones. Then he spun around, looking at Jun Xiqing. “What’s the matter?”

Shining eyes met with his. He seemed to have finally gotten out of his rut, getting a grip over himself, but at the same time, he seemed like he hadn’t put things down yet.

Somehow, his gaze had become even colder, not letting anyone approach him.

Jun Xiqing knew what he was asking about, it was definitely about that letter. She hadn’t planned to hide it either since Fan Men would report to him.

She nodded. “I’m returning to Country Z.”

She then looked at him as she asked, “Will you let me go?”

All this time he had been holding her back, not letting go of her.

There was no reaction.

A few moments later, the corners of his lips kicked up. “Aren’t you intelligent? You can guess.”

“…”
