Chapter 1353 - Why Are You Still Not Pregnant (1/2)

Ping Ping didn’t put the cell phone on speaker mode, but the inside of the car was so quiet that the senator’s angry voice resonated clearly within the space.

“Your Highness, what is going on? Are you really not a virgin? Who is the man? Who did you sleep with?” the senator pursued.

“…”

Jun Xiqing instinctively lifted her eyes and glanced in front of her.

She met a pair of deep eyes reflected in the rear view mirror. It was like they were linked telepathically. Lu Yeming was also looking at her.

He was her first man.

And her only man.

The saying went that a woman would never forget her first man. This saying was not at all false.

Images from what happened three years ago flashed by Jun Xiqing’s mind like a movie reel. Her first time with him was on the wedding night of him and Ye Ruge. That night, he didn’t go to Ye Ruge’s room, but had instead gone to hers and raped her.

Her first time was not at all wonderful.

Thereafter, it happened another two times.

It was during those two dark and stormy nights when they were in that little village. She had slept with him on both nights.

At that time, she was only 20 years old. She was no longer sure whether it was because he had seduced her or because she couldn’t resist his allure—after all, he was the man she liked. She only remembered that he had given her a taste of what it felt like to be a real woman.

In return, she had left a most unforgettable impression on his body.

Jun Xiqing stared at him in a daze. Lu Yeming was also looking at her. She could feel herself gradually softening under his gaze.

Perhaps he was also thinking of the past, like she was. He watched her with a warm, loving expression, like how a man would look at his beloved woman.

He had always been very magnanimous and charming to women. Just one gentle glance from him could make scores of women fall in love with him.

Thump thump.

Once again, her heart was pounding for him.

She immediately averted her gaze.

“Your Highness, you really have no self-love or preservation. You are not married yet, how could you so easily give your virginity to a man? If that man really loves you, why didn’t he marry you after sleeping with you? And if that man doesn’t love you, then you have given him your virginity for nothing. How is that any different from degrading yourself?”

The senators were all very old-fashioned in their thinking. Sex before marriage was an absolute no-no for them. It was a disgrace.

Although these senators had very high and harsh expectations for Jun Xiqing, it could be heard from those words just how much they still adored this miracle that was the young daughter of the Jun family.

Jun Xiqing’s delicate little face had turned all shades of red and white. How was she suddenly thrown into the spotlight? “Senator…”

“Alright, Your Highness. You don’t need to explain to us. We have already taken actions to suppress those rumors. You don’t need to come back tomorrow. We have arranged a matchmaking date for you.”

“Matchmaking?” Jun Xiqing raised her brows.

“Yes, matchmaking. This person has passed all our criteria. There are absolutely no issues with his personality, his power or his looks. He is very compatible to Your Highness. We will send out word of your romance, and those rumors swirling outside will naturally come to a halt.”

“Senator…”

“Your Highness, let me remind you once again. You are now the President of this country. Every single move you make represents the entire nation. Before you chose this pathway, which has always been a terribly unkind one for women, you should have already known that you would have no choice over many matters, including your marriage.”

With that, the senator hung up the phone.

Jun Xiqing remained silent for a few moments before handing the cell phone over to Ping Ping.

Ping Ping looked at Jun Xiqing with much concern. But as they were others around, she didn’t say anything.

“Beauty.” Liuchuan spoke up. “I never expected you to already have a man. Come on, tell me in secret, who is this man?”

Lu Yeming once again looked at Jun Xiqing, only to see her pull her own clothing tighter around her body, and lean her little face nonchalantly against the car window. She said in a mild tone, “I don’t remember anymore. Perhaps… I was bitten by a dog.”
