Chapter 1403 - Reaching Out to Touch Her Face (1/2)

Standing beside Lu Yeming was Political Leader Mu and his daughter Mu Yanyan, who was in a pink dress.

Mu Yanyan was famous in the entertainment industry as she was highly educated and had been brought up as a fine lady. Her every action was elegant and she held vast knowledge. In addition to that, she was young and beautiful, catching the attention of men everywhere. The second-generation heirs all had to break their backs before asking for her hand in marriage.

But Mu Yanyan had high standards and had yet to have a single boyfriend at her age of 23. She was the coldest, most sought-after socialite.

Two words were often used to describe Mu Yanyan in this industry – pure and holy.

Jun Xiqing took two glances at Mu Yanyan. The young lady was looking at Lu Yeming with a red face, her youthful heart fluttering. It was true that her standards were high. Her target was none other than… Lu Yeming.

Since Lu Yeming had Dongfang Ruoli in the past, Miss Mu had held herself back, protecting her pure reputation. Now that Dongfang Ruoli was gone, Miss Mu did not hesitate to make her move. Jun Xiqing knew that she couldn’t underestimate this Mu Yanyan.

Two maids were gossiping in soft voices at the side.

—-Look, His Highness and Miss Mu look so good together.

—- I heard that Political Leader Mu brought Miss Mu here today for matchmaking. As long as His Highness agrees, Miss Mu will be our new Empress.

—- His Highness was single now and God knows how many Chief of States were trying to send their daughters off to His Highness’s bed.

—- Miss Mu is so pure and beautiful. I’m sure His Highness will like her.

Hearing this, Jun Xiqing pressed her red lips together and walked away.

She wanted to leave the White House.

As she shuffled back and forth in the living room, a maid walked over suddenly and bumped straight into Jun Xiqing. The maid turned pale and apologized profusely. “I’m so sorry, I’m not doing this on purpose.”

With that, she reached out and pulled the veil off Jun Xiqing’s face.

“Ah!”

The maid screamed.

Her scream attracted the attention of everyone in the living room and their gazes all swept their way. Jun Xiqing’s small face was no longer hidden by the veil and the dark patch on her right face was bared in front of everyone.

“My God, isn’t that the President of Country Z?”

“What happened to her face? Was she disfigured?”

“The youngest daughter of the Jun Family, Jun Xiqing was such a legendary figure in the past. How could her face be… so ugly now?”

Everyone was whispering amongst themselves.

Hearing their voice, Lu Yeming turned around and looked at them. He immediately saw that Jun Xiqing had been surrounded.

His handsome brows slowly furrowed and his face turned cold.

Quick strides brought him over.

When Jun Xiqing saw Lu Yeming walk towards her confidently on the red carpet, she stilled. Every step was powerful and determined and the people parted to let him through. He took calm steps towards her and stopped in front of her.

Lu Yeming’s deep eyes flitted over her eyes and landed on her right face. This was the first time he was seeing her ruined face.

Letting out a low laugh, Lu Yeming only remarked, “They’re right, it’s really ugly.”

Face pale, Jun Xiqing didn’t reveal her emotions. She bent down to pick up her veil.

At this moment, Lu Yeming reached out and slowly touched her face.

Jun Xiqing froze.

There was a sharp intake of breath. Everyone gasped and stared at them dumbly as he caressed her face in the middle of the living room.
