Chapter 1350 - Why Should I Let You Have Her? (1/2)

All the guests had found their respective dance partners and the floor was filled with handsome men and lovely ladies. Everyone was very satisfied with the results.

The crystal chandelier sparkled and a gentle breeze blew by. Jun Xiqing smiled as she tugged at the red string in her hand.

The people in front slowly dispersed and Jun Xiqing’s gaze followed the red string toward a tall, elegant figure.

Lu Yeming.

Lu Yeming was holding the other end of the red string.

Was this fate?

Somehow, both of them had picked the same red string.

Jun Xiqing fluttered her long lashes. On the other end of the string, Lu Yeming gazed at her, as ripples surfaced in those profound eyes of his. Standing at their respective spots, they both held their destiny in their hands. The destiny issued down by the god of matchmaking.

On the other side, Tang Mo’er sighed gently as she watched the scene unfold.

“What’s the matter?”

Gu Mohan asked in a gentle voice. He had just walked over and embraced her slender waist.

Tang Mo’er leaned her soft body into his arms and said in a small voice, “Look, Yeming and Qingqing can’t escape their linked fates. Look at how compatible they are. But Yeming is already married…”

Gu Mohan kissed her hair and murmured by her ear. “He and Dongfang Ruoli didn’t register their marriage.”

“What?” Tang Mo’er looked at Gu Mohan in shock.

As Gu Mohan gazed into her sparkling eyes, he caressed her hair lovingly. “Yeming still loves you. As he said, no one can ever replace you. But you were also right in that his love for you is not pure, it isn’t the romantic type of love. You are just someone he failed to attain when he was younger. You represented all that is good and wonderful in his heart, and he might not have even known what was love at that time.

“In the future, there will be a woman who is able to teach him what true love is. Love is not just protection. Love is selfish and conquering. Love is wanting to hold the person in your arms. Love makes one intoxicated, go crazy, fall into obsession.”

With that, Gu Mohan hugged Tang Mo’er tightly.

A sweet smile appeared on Tang Mo’er’s lips. “But, since Yeming didn’t register his marriage with Dongfang Ruoli, why did he give her the position of Empress?”

“Don’t you wish to know who tried to harm you three years ago?”

Tang Mo’er’s heart gave a heavy thud. Who was the one who had made that call three years ago? Who was the one who planned that car crash?

“Mo’er, Country A’s palace is not peaceful at all. There are many ghosts inside. Why is Dongfang Ruoli so much like you? How did Yeming disappear that time over 20 years ago? There is a dark power behind all of these happenings. All the current political turmoil had grown its roots 26 years ago. Yeming has his life’s mission and his personal responsibilities too.”

It was only now that Tang Mo’er finally understood. She had always wondered why Yeming would marry Dongfang Ruoli.

So Yeming had his own reasons too.

Holding onto Gu Mohan’s hand, Tang Mo’er walked over to the platform again. “Hello everyone, I am sure you have all found your respective dance partners. Let’s start the dance now.”

A relaxing melody started playing.

Jun Xiqing was still holding the red string, her smile frozen on her face. She felt like the heavens just loved playing pranks on her.

No matter how she spun and ducked. She could not escape him.

At this moment, Lu Yeming started walking over.

But Jun Xiqing cautiously took a step back.

“Ms Jun.” Mu Yanfeng had come over.

Jun Xiqing reacted like she had met her savior. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Mu Yanfeng. “Young Master Mu, where is your dance partner?”

“I stepped out to take a call and it looks like I missed out an important segment.”

At that, Mu Yanfeng looked at the approaching Lu Yeming. “Hello, President Lu.”
