Chapter 1420: Pressing His Thumb Against Her Red Lips

Lu Yeming looked at her coldly, his gaze as sharp as a steel blade. “So you are going to ruin yourself?”

“Yes. I would rather ruin myself than let you have me.”

Hearing this, the only sign of anything more than indifference was the sight of his clenched fists. “Jun Xiqing, the one thing I hate the most is being threatened by others.”

“How is this a threat? I am nothing in President Lu’s heart. At the very most, you will just end up spending a bit of your precious time to find another woman who is willing to go to bed with you and bear your children.”

“Miss Jun, please don’t do this.” Fan Men made to move forward once again.

Jun Xiqing’s face turned cold. She drew the sharp golden hairpin across the soft skin on her pink neck, scratching out a bloody line.

She was serious.

Fan Men didn’t dare to make another move. Anyone could see the resolve in Jun Xiqing’s eyes.

Lu Yeming’s lips curled up nonchalantly. “Do you think you can die if I don’t allow it?”

“Who knows? President Lu is far more capable than me. But if I fail to die this time, I will try again and again. Perhaps one day I shall succeed?” Jun Xiqing gave a radiant smile.

Lu Yeming’s brows quivered before he gave a deep chuckle that reverated straight from his chest. The sound of it made one’s scalp go numb. “Jun Xiqing, is your head filled with straw? If you die, there is no way your brother will live.”

What did he just say?

Brother was not dead?

Brother didn’t die?

Was he certain? Jun Xiqing immediately crouched down, the tears in her eyes trickling down continuously. “Brother, brother. Open your eyes and look at me… Brother, don’t die. Don’t leave me all alone…”

“Miss Jun, His Majesty aimed just a little off to the side, and didn’t hit Dongfang Yu’s heart,” Fan Men said in a low voice.

Actually in Fan Men’s point of view, His Majesty really treated Miss Jun differently. Otherwise, he would never have been so merciful.

Jun Xiqing slowly lifted her eyes to look at Fan Men as her eyes flashed. “Steward Fan, do you mean that I should praise the heavens and thank your Lord? That my heart should feel so moved?”

Fan Men, “…”

That wasn’t what he meant.

As Lu Yeming lowered his head to look at Jun Xiqing, his eyes passed over her slender body that was kneeling before Dongfang Yu, looking very pitiful and forlorn. It was a completely different stance from her earlier resolve and hostility when facing him.

He lifted his long fingers to undo one button on his shirt. He suddenly felt that the air was stuffy and found it hard to breathe. But the feeling was not very intense and he did not think much of it.

Lu Yeming went forward and gripped her arm. “You can cry when your brother is really dead.”

Then he dragged her off by the arm.

“Let go of me!” Jun Xiqing struggled. “Call the doctor. Call a doctor to attend to my brother immediately!”

Lu Yeming glanced at her. “You don’t understand even now? The fate of your brother depends on your decision. Listen to me like a good girl and I will get the doctor to come. If you are disobedient, I will throw your brother into the forest to feed the wolves.”

Jun Xiqing calmed herself down. The only tell-tale signs were her red nose and eyes. “Get Doctor Sikong over here. I will watch over my brother. Only when Doctor Sikong confirms that my brother is fine will I be obedient to you!”

Lu Yeming twisted his lips before looking at Fan Men.

Very quickly, a medical team hurried over and transferred Dongfang Yu onto a stretcher.

Jun Xiqing shrugged off his hand before following them.

…

Sikong Heng rushed over to operate on Dongfang Yu. The red light above the operating theater entrance lit up. Jun Xiqing sat on a bench along the corridor to wait.

Meanwhile, Lu Yeming’s men surrounded the area. She knew that the lives of her and her brother were all in their hands. She had no energy to think about what to do in future. All she could hope for now was that her brother would live.

Lu Yeming returned to his own bedroom and entered the shower cubicle. He took off his shirt and pants, and stood under the cold shower.

Hot.

He suddenly felt rather hot all over. He didn’t feel it just now but could now sense a glowing spark inside his firm abdomen. It triggered his blood and made it surge.

Frowning, he opened his eyes which were tinged with a reddish malevolence.

He knew he had been drugged.

Who did it?

No one had ever dared to use such a dirty trick on him.

Lu Yeming turned off the shower and put on set of a black silk pyjamas. Fan Men stood respectfully in the room. “Master.”

Lu Yeming’s handsome face continued to look as per normal. He said in a low, calm voice, “Go check who was the one who brought the coffee I drank earlier.”

Very quickly, Fan Men returned and reported. “My Lord, that coffee… was brought by Miss Jun.”

“Are you sure?”

Fan Men nodded. “I am sure. No one else touched that coffee apart from Miss Jun.”

Lu Yeming sat on the sofa, his eyes surging with intensity.

Knock knock. A few raps on the door signalled him as a sweet voice sounded out. “President Lu, it’s me. Yanyan.”

Mu Yanyan?

Interesting. So she had to come right at this inopportune moment?

Lu Yeming gave a cryptic smile. He said in a bland tone, “Come in.”

Mu Yanyan opened the door and entered.

“Miss Mu, are you looking for me for something?”

The moment she moved closer, Mu Yanyan threw herself to her knees before Lu Yeming. “President Lu, I have done wrong.”

Lu Yeming narrowed his deep, almond-shaped eyes as he continued to look calmly at the kneeling Mu Yanyan. He smiled. “Miss Mu, Jun Xiqing sought you out to collude with you, so that she could pretend to be your maid. You informed me of this promptly, which was why I managed to successfully capture the siblings. You should be rewarded. So what wrong did you do?”

Mu Yanyan gazed at Lu Yeming with devoted adoration. “President Lu, I have been keeping something from you.”

“Oh?” Lu Yeming sounded very interested.

“Sister Jun spiked your coffee. She told me to enter your room an hour later. By then you would be full of lust and desire, and would… you would…” Mu Yanyan’s face turned red. She was too embarassed to finish her sentence.

“Sleep with you?” Lu Yeming completed for her.

Mu Yanyan looked shocked. “President Lu, I know I shouldn’t covet you. But I fell deeply in love with you since I first caught a glimpse of you from afar when I was 18 years old.

“All those years, you had Dongfang Ruoli by your side and I didn’t dare to go near you. I could only strive to make myself more exceptional and hope that I can be worthy of you.

“When Sister Jun told me about the medicine, I really hesitated but I was too greedy and took the bait. All I could think of was that if I can be President Lu’s woman, even if it’s just for one night, it will be enough… I will be satisfied for the rest of my life.”

Lu Yeming raised one brow. Mu Yanyan could not compare to Jun Xiqing but it seemed this Mu Yanyan truly loved him.

Reaching out, Lu Yeming lifted Mu Yanyan’s chin, pressing his thumb against her red lips…
