Chapter 1408 - Meeting Him (1/2)

It hadn’t been long since Lu Yeming had given the order to have her exiled out of Country A. Meanwhile, he was sitting in a luxury car with Mu Yanyan.

A quiver ran through Jun Xiqing’s heart. She desperately wished to rush up and give his car two hard kicks, or to pounce forward and scratch that smug, frivolous face of his.

But she could only dream as she was surrounded by a gang of Imperial Forest Army soldiers. She would be shot to bits if she dared to make a sudden move. By the time she looked up again, the car had driven away.

Jun Xiqing was filled with fury. He was right. She was nothing now while he remained a high and mighty ruler.

“Miss Jun, please go and pack up your things now. I will come over tomorrow morning to personally send you off.”

…

After that debacle, Jun Xiqing returned to her hotel room. As for her belongings, she didn’t have much to pack. She never imagined that she would end up in the exact same situation as she was three years earlier. Being chased away by him.

It was aggravating.

Extremely frustrating.

But she would be leaving tomorrow. Since they had broken up, there was no reason for her to remain in Country A. She would go seek out her birth parents and take her first step toward a brighter tomorrow.

Jun Xiqing shut her eyes and went to sleep.

The next morning, Fan Men came to personally see Jun Xiqing and Ping Ping off.

Jun Xiqing suddenly thought of something. Where was the jade pendant that she always had on her?

She felt about with her hand. The jade pendant was nowhere to be found on her body.

Her heart gave a heavy thump. She wore this jade pendant everywhere she went. How did it disappear? This jade pendant was closely linked to her birth history.

What should she do?

The jade pendant was gone!

Jun Xiqing quickly calmed herself down. She carefully recalled how she could have misplaced the pendant.

Hmm… The jade pendant was still on her when she had gone to the bar.

It disappeared after she left the bar.

Lu Yeming?

Yesterday at the bar, she only had a brief moment of physical contact with him. Would he know where her jade pendant was?

Even if he didn’t know. He was the ruler of Country A. He could easily help her investigate the whereabouts of the pendant.

Jun Xiqing broke out in cold sweat. The jade pendant meant a lot to her. It was imperative she recovered it.

“Steward Fan.” Jun Xiqing looked at Fan Men.

“Yes, Miss Jun.”

“I wish to see President Lu. Now. Immediately. Right away!”

“This…” Fan Men hesitated. “Alright Ms Jun. I will call His Highness and ask if he is willing to meet you.”

…

The Palace.

Lu Yeming didn’t sleep the entire night. Since returning last night, he had been working in his study all the way until now.

Reading the documents with lowered eyes, he held a lit cigarette between his long fingers. The ashtray was full of ash and the entire study was steeped in the smoky smell of tobacco.

He had never been a heavy smoker.

But his chest was full of grievance, and he wished to use tobacco to soothe himself.

Jun Xiqing…

The image of Jun Xiqing’s little face suddenly appeared in his mind’s eye. She was saying resolutely to him: Lu Yeming, let’s break up then!

His deep eyes were bloodshot as rage and anger filled his heart. He had actually been dumped by a woman.

It was preposterous. Given his good upbringing and his gentlemanly attitude toward women, he had never behaved ungraciously toward any woman whom he had a relationship with.

But yesterday at the bar, he had given the order to Fan Men to exile her out of Country A. He had even passed the message to ask her to stay far away from him, or he would kill her.

Was he under a spell?

He felt like he was having some sort of a mental breakdown.
