Chapter 1414: Noone Can Take Her Away, She Is Mine

All that was on Lu Yeming’s face was a provocative smirk. “So what if I found your sister? You want to take her away? You are just someone who lost to me. I managed to send you away six years ago, and I can easily send you away for a second time.”

His tone was low, magnetic, arrogant, willful.

Dongfang Yu raised his brows as he fiddled lazily with a fountain pen. “You really know how to brag. Six years ago… did you think that you managed to imprison me… all by yourself?”

“Ha.” Lu Yeming narrowed his eyes and said in an even deeper voice, “Dongfang Yu, are you asking me to remind you that you fell at the hands of a woman, and lost everything?”

During that period, Dongfang Yu was an all-powerful Jiu You Prince who commanded the entire Jiu You, while Lu Yeming was still the West Duke.

If Dongfang Yu had remained free, who knew if Jiu You would have overtaken Country A instead?

Unfortunately, Dongfang Yu had fallen at the hands of a woman. Fallen all the way from his high perch into the dark depths of prison. All his power and ambition had ended up buried by that female. It felt like it had all been just a dream.

At the mention of that woman, Dongfang Yu’s eyes lowered. “How is she?”

“Why should I tell you?” Lu Yeming asked.

Dongfang Yu tossed the fountain pen onto the desk with a loud smack. It rolled across the wood as he stood up. “President Lu, what happened to your forehead? Did you get hit by a woman? Tsk tsk,did you lose your virginity in the six years since I last saw you? You finally got a woman now?”

Dongfang Yu gave a sly smile. “Which woman dared to hit you? Is she in your room? I will help you teach her a lesson!”

With quick strides, Dongfang Yu exited the study and made his way toward Lu Yeming’s bedroom.

Lu Yeming’s eyes darkened. This Dongfang Yu was treating this place like his own home, coming and going as he pleased. In the next second, Lu Yeming had darted out and gripped Dongfang Yu’s shoulder with one hand.

Dongfang Yu stopped, not avoiding Lu Yeming. The moment Lu Yeming charged toward him, he was already aiming his hand, which held several needles, straight at Lu Yeming’s heart.

So instead it was Lu Yeming who turned aside to avoid the attack.

Fan Men hurried over. His expression changed when he saw that those needles had penetrated the study’s thick doors. Dongfang Yu’s methods had become even more sly and treacherous!

A sharp whistle from Fan Men, then the palace’s alarm immediately sounded off. Once the blaring sound was heard, a large group of guards charged over.

Dongfang Yu glanced askance at Lu Yeming. “Tsk tsk, getting reinforcements because you can’t beat me? So pointless. I will look for you another time.”

Quick as a shadow, Dongfang Yu disappeared without a trace.

Fan Men immediately made to give chase.

“No need to pursue him.”

“Your Highness, this Dongfang Yu is extremely dangerous, he can come and go as he pleases in the palace. If this goes on, he will be able to quickly find out that Miss Jun is here.”

With a serious expression, Fan Men added. “Dongfang Yu and Miss Jun are not your usual people. They will be able to figure things out from the tiniest hint. I am afraid Miss Jun’s identity will be revealed sooner or later.”

Lu Yeming’s brows quivered slightly and he gave a chilly smirk. “Then I have no choice but to make him disappear first.”

“Your Highness, what do you intend to do?”

“Dongfang Yu misses his sister, right? Spread the news that his sister is at Peacock Terrace. I will make sure that he is unable to leave after.”

“But will Dongfang Yu believe it?”

Lu Yeming’s eyes danced with scorn. “Don’t worry. Dongfang Yu loves his sister so much that he will come even if he suspects something. Moreover, I won’t be lying to him. Have someone make arrangements for Jun Xiqing to immediately move to Peacock Terrace.”

Fan Men was stunned. His Majesty was going to make use of Miss Jun as bait for Dongfang Yu. As the one in power, this plan was the best for Lu Yeming. But if they pushed Miss Jun to the fore, she would end up becoming an executioner.

If Miss Jun ever found out that she had caused her own brother’s death, she would be devastated.

“My Lord, Miss Jun…” Fan Men started to say before stopping again.

Lu Yeming’s face darkened and he frowned. His features softened several notches. “She never had a brother. She never had one in the past, and will never have one in the future. No one will be able to take her away. She is mine. I will make it up to her. Nothing has changed.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

…

Throughout that provocative discussion, Jun Xiqing had remained in the bedroom the entire time. The door opened and Lu Yeming strode in.

He stood beside her and caressed her head. “Qingqing, the secretary already made reservations. We can go for dinner now.”

Jun Xiqing’s expression was calm. “Can I decline?”

“No.”

“Oh, then let’s go.”

…

At a western restaurant.

Lu Yeming has taken her to eat western food. With candlelights flickering, it was all very romantic.

Unaffected by the environment, Jun Xiqing remained silent. She elegantly cut her steak with her fork and knife and did not look up at him.

Lu Yeming gazed at her. Her lashes were lowered, her exquisite face clear and flawless.

She was very quiet.

Somehow, he felt that she was being too quiet.

At this moment, Jun Xiqing put down her cutlery. “I want to visit the washroom.”

“I will go with you.” Lu Yeming made to stand up.

Jun Xiqing smirked. “What, the President himself has to supervise me even when I am just going to the toilet? Didn’t you already assign two bodyguards to follow me wherever I go?”

Lu Yeming’s expression remained mild, but with traces of displeasure. So Jun Xiqing turned to leave, heading toward the washroom.

The two bodyguards followed her.

…

After Jun Xiqing left, Lu Yeming raised a long-stemmed glass and casually swirled the rich red liquid inside.

He didn’t feel like he had done anything wrong.

Power, revenge, ambition, desire and unease mingled in his eyes. He was not like that emotional Dongfang Yu, who lost everything over a woman.

It had always been a life-and-death situation between Dongfang Yu and him. If he didn’t kill Dongfang Yu, he would be killed by him.

This was a battle between men.

He would not change anything just because of Jun Xiqing. But from now on, he would try his best to be good to her. He would tolerate her temper, dote on her and cherish her. She was not some Jiu You Holy Lady. She was his Empress.

At this moment, a sweet voice sounded out. “President Lu, what a coincidence to see you here.”

Lu Yeming lifted his eyes to see Mu Yanyan walking over.

Today, Mu Yanyan was wearing a pink dress and heels. Her lovely, black hair cascaded over her shoulders as her limpid eyes gazing right at him. It was Mu Yanyan alright.
