Chapter 1381 - Confession (1/2)
It was a ploy. Lu Yeming had found a body double to sleep with her.
And now she was pregnant with a bastard.
Lu Yeming had never touched her before.
Dongfang Ruoli stood in stunned silence. It felt as though she had been punched in the gut and she reeled back as if she had been slapped. She looked at the man in front of her. Lu Yeming was extremely tall and shone radiantly. He lowered his handsome face to look at her, his gaze so cold it froze her to her bones.
He really had no feelings for her at all.
“Your Highness, you… you actually…”
Dongfang Ruoli felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She reached down only to find her hand soaked in blood.
She was having a miscarriage.
Lu Yeming looked at Dongfang Ruoli and said coldly, “You have committed adultery and treason and these crimes need to be punished. You will step down from your Empress position immediately and be locked up for life.”
With that, Lu Yeming turned and left.
As he passed by Fan Men, he added another instruction silently, “I want her entire face ruined.”
Fan Men nodded. “Yes, Sir.”
…
Jun Xiqing got off the plane. She was back in Country Z. As she entered the main lobby of the airport, she heard many girls chatting noisily.
—-Did you hear? Dongfang Ruoli has been removed from her position.
—-What?! Why?
—-Who cares why? The most important thing is, Country Z’s Emperor is single now!
From beside her, Ping Ping whispered to her in a small voice, “Your Highness, the story of the ruined Empress Dongfang Ruoli has already spread like wildfire. President Lu is finally single, igniting the hopes of so many young women.
“When Dongfang Ruoli was still the Empress, so many political leaders wanted to give their daughters to him to be his concubines. They must be chuckling with glee now that this has happened.”
Jun Xiqing listened to all of this quietly. Lu Yeming’s charisma was taking over the entire world, with everyone talking about his relationship matters. All the young ladies in the world were definitely waiting for him to enter their dreams at night.
But none of this had anything to do with her anymore.
“Ping Ping, let’s go back to the President’s residence.
At this moment, Ping Ping called out, “Your Highness, look, President Lu!”
Jun Xiqing turned her gaze to where Ping Ping was looking. A tall figure appeared on the big screen at the airport. An incident had happened in Country Z’s grand birthday party and dozens of media outlets were rushing to the city.
These reporters all held recorders in their hands excitedly as they squeezed forward.
“Please stay back, His Highness is on his way.”
At this moment, a muscular guard clad in black appeared to control the situation.
Lu Yeming walked down from the stairs.
—-President Lu, please say something.
—-Now that the Empress has been removed from her position, many rich young ladies are waiting with anticipation. Do you have anyone in mind?
Fan Men blocked the recorders and said, “I’m sorry, His Highness will not be taking any questions.”
At this moment, Lu Yeming’s footsteps slowed and he turned his gaze to the reporter who asked that question. The noisy crowd went silent in an instant.
It was complete pin-drop silence.
This showed just how powerful he was.
Lu Yeming looked at the camera and replied after a few seconds. “I do have someone in mind.”
His low, magnetic voice floated over with strength and Jun Xiqing heard everyone gasp.
Everyone in the crowd surged over in a huddle.
When Jun Xiqing looked at Lu Yeming’s eyes, it was as if he was looking straight at her.
Then he continued in a low voice, “You told me you wanted us to be honest with each other yesterday. Alright, I’ll promise you then.”
Jun Xiqing’s long lashes quivered and her eyes reddened.
Her heartbeat quickened.
“Keep your ring on. You’re not allowed to take it off.”
