Chapter 1253 - Her Reward

Pfft.

A peal of suppressed laughter came from behind him.

Lu Yeming’s sharp eyes swept across the room and caught Murong Ling lying on a patch of grass, laughing uproariously at him. “West Duke, what are you doing outside? Quick, get back in, it’s cold outside! This Qingqing is really brave, she dares chase the West Duke outside... sorry, I can’t help it, let me laugh a while longer...” he said as he continued laughing so hard he clutched at his stomach.

Murong Ling couldn’t hold it in any longer and laughed out loud, gasping for air. Served him right!

Seeing him, Lu Yeming’s handsome face turned dark and his hands balled into fists by his side. Fan Men didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this scene as well.

He had been with Master for so many years and had always viewed him as someone calm and elegant. Even the ladies feared him. He had never thought that he would see the day he was shut outside after meeting Third Miss Jun.

Fan Men couldn’t help himself and chuckled silently in his mind. But before he could even part his lips to laugh, he felt a dark gaze land on him. Fan Men lifted his head and met Lu Yeming’s narrow eyes.

Gulp. Fan Men froze in fear and gave him a salute after a pause. “Master, you’re mistaken, I wasn’t laughing! Not at all!”

Huff...

A few underlings in the distance lowered their heads and suppressed their laughter.

Lu Yeming was speechless.

His face was completely stormy and his lips pressed into a severe line as he thundered, “Get lost!”

“Yes, Master.”

Fan Men lowered himself to the ground with his head between his arms and ran off. The underlings followed his example and scurried off as well. Meanwhile, Murong Ling was about to pass out from his laughter.

Lu Yeming froze for a moment before bending down to sit at the door.

Looking at this, Murong Ling slowly stopped laughing. He stuck a blade of green foxtail in his mouth and said, “West Duke, since Qingqing doesn’t allow you to sleep in her room, you’re really sleeping outside her room? Wouldn’t the ladies die of jealousy once they find out?”

Lu Yeming frowned and said, “You can shut up now.”

Murong Ling shut his mouth. He could tell that Lu Yeming loved Jun Xiqing very much.

This was normal.

Monogamy was part of Country A’s system. His father, Murong Fu, had many concubines as well. Whenever one of these beautiful concubines first entered their doors, his father would dote on her for a while as well and fulfill her every whim.

The West Duke was of even nobler blood and was more gentlemanly. He knew how to play with emotions as well and could easily give someone the impression of being deeply in love.

But how long could this so-called love last?

...

At night.

Jun Xiqing had just taken a hot bath, washing away her fatigue from the past two days. She lay comfortably on the wooden bed.

It had been a long and rough day and she was extremely tired. The moment her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep in an instant.

Just as she was drifting in and out of sleep, she felt someone standing by her bed. She suddenly jerked awake and opened her eyes.

There was someone beside her on the bed. His beautiful figure was against the light, and his deep eyes were on her small face.

She quickly calmed down as she saw him clearly. Jun Xiqing pressed her fair hands against her heart and glared fiercely at him with her bright eyes. “You almost scared me to death!”

Lu Yeming’s eyes gazed at her face before sweeping downwards to her hands, which were pressing against her rapidly rising and falling chest. She was breathing hard from the scare.

He reached out slowly to caress her face.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her skin was so smooth.

“What are you doing?” Jun Xiqing swatted his hand away.

But in an instant, her view darkened as he pressed over on top of her. She cried out softly and tried to resist him.

Hiss.

Lu Yeming hissed softly and collapsed on the bed.

It seemed she had aggravated his wound.

Was he even serious? She hadn’t used much strength just now, and that was enough to cause him such pain?

“Hey, Lu Yeming, did I really hurt you?” Jun Xiqing asked hesitantly.

Lu Yeming looked at her and threw the ointment over. “Put it on for me.”

“Oh...”

Sitting up on the bed, Jun Xiqing straddled his waist with her slim legs. As she had a white dress on, and because of the way she was sitting, it rode up and revealed a portion of her fair skin.

Lu Yeming had an urge to kiss it.

“Am I pressing too hard on you?” Her voice rang out melodiously in his ear.

“No.”

She was extremely light and felt like nothing on his waist. Jun Xiqing lowered her head, her fragrance washing over him. Her hair tickled his nose as it cascaded over him.

“What I meant was... am I... pressing too hard down there?”

Lu Yeming’s breath hitched and he quickly raised his eyes to look at her, only to see her looking at him with her bright eyes, her small teeth biting on her red lips.

This... little fox!

“Are you embarrassed?” His voice was husky.

Jun Xiqing was pretty embarrassed. The thought had just popped into her mind randomly. “Aren’t you shameless?”

Lu Yeming had no words.

He reached out to steady her delicate arms and pulled her gently. Her body fell over and he pressed her underneath him.

The ointment fell off the bed.

“Hey! The ointment!”

She called out. She had yet to put the ointment on him and it had fallen onto the ground.

“Ignore it.” Lu Yeming’s brows knitted together as he kissed her red lips.

Jun Xiqing quickly reached out to cover his mouth. “Didn’t I say that you’re not to sleep in my room?”

“Qingqing, stop throwing a tantrum, alright? I’ve already waited outside your door for four hours.”

He... He had been waiting outside her room all this time? Why didn’t he go somewhere else or sleep in his car?

“So,” Jun Xiqing said as she batted her eyelashes playfully, “Are you saying I should reward you for being so good?”

Oh? Lu Yeming raised one handsome eyebrow before reaching out to press her parted red lips. He rubbed his fingers against her red lips and if possible, his gaze turned even more dark and fiery.

Trapped underneath him, Jun Xiqing struggled for a while, to no avail. Looking at the man above her, she stuck out her tongue and licked his fingers. She retracted her tongue quickly after doing so.

“I’ve given you your reward. You can leave now.”

Lu Yeming looked at her seductive manner. She really was a little fox, so proud and arrogant. He didn’t deny that he really liked that.

In fact, his deep eyes seemed to be saying something. He knew that this side of her would vanish once they went back. In Jun Xiqing’s heart, her country was number one and family was number two. So where was he ranked?

It was the same for him. She wasn’t number one in his heart either.

“This reward isn’t enough. I’m not leaving.” His thin lips curved upwards as he smiled warmly.

This scumbag!

Jun Xiqing wrapped her arms around his neck and bit down on his Adam’s apple.

Lu Yeming hummed softly and pressed down harder on her. Now his whole body was tingling.

He knew that there would not be anyone like her ever again. Someone who would make his blood rush and his whole body tremble in anticipation.

Once again his large hands wrapped around her face as he kissed her deeply. “This isn’t enough...”

“Lu Yeming, you’re too much!”
