Chapter 1252: Sleep Outside

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Someone stepped inside the house. Jun Xiqing didn’t have to turn around to realize it was him. A smile graced her lips.

“Are you here to rush me, I’m coming–”

She suddenly stopped talking as two muscular arms wrapped around her slim waist, circling around her. Jun Xiqing’s lashes fluttered, their shadows formed on the wall and he hugged her gently from behind.

Planting kisses on her hair, he asked, “You don’t want to go back?”

Jun Xiqing shook her head. “No...”

“That’s a shame, I’ve already given the orders to stay here for one more night. I’ll get them to prepare to leave now.” Lu Yeming let go of her, turning around to leave the house.

“Hey, Lu Yeming!”

Jun Xiqing instantly stretched her arm out, tugging his sleeve. Almost immediately, Lu Yeming turned around, pulling her into his arms. He held her waist, lifting her off the ground as he spun.

Letting out a giggle, Jun Xiqing hit his shoulders with balled fists. “Lu Yeming, let me down!”

“You’ve gotten brazen, not calling me West Duke, but Lu Yeming now?”

“I’m just going to call you that. Lu Yeming, Lu Yeming, Lu Yeming!” she continued calling him cheekily.

Lu Yeming took two steps forward, sandwiching her between himself and the wall. He continued carrying her and she hugged his neck while their foreheads touched one another.

With his brows slightly furrowed, he smiled. “I’ll allow you to continue calling my name.”

This man was really quite arrogant. “Hey, Lu Yeming, you have not become the King yet!”

It was only a joke now, but when he really ruled the world on day, this name – Lu Yeming – would become a taboo. After Mo’er left, after everyone left him, he would struggle to fall asleep, his heart would ache every night but he would still vividly remember this maidenly voice, someone calling him—-‘Lu Yeming? Lu Yeming!’

It was only then he would realize, he had loved someone so deeply this life, reaching the pinnacle of his political career but the happiest moments in his life would be the time spent in this tiny, secluded village.

All because he had this special someone by his side who knew him well and loved him.

The two continued to hug each other for a long while. Finally, Jun Xiqing’s hands came down from around his neck. “I want to take a bath.”

“Hm?”

“What’s with your reaction? I haven’t showered in two days. Get someone to prepare a hot water bath for me.”

Their living conditions for the past two days weren’t the best and now that she had the resources, she surely had to enjoy them!

Lu Yeming placed her down. “Hold on.”

...

He really got things done quickly. In just a short while, a wooden tub appeared in the house filled with hot, steamy water.

Jun Xiqing stood behind the panel, taking her clothes off. She was well aware that after today, her journey was going to be tough. This made her even more appreciative of the remaining time she had now, she started humming a melodic tune.

As Lu Yeming stood by the door, his eyes were fixated on the lithesome figure behind the panel. While she draped her clothes over the panel, he could see the silhouette of her body. She continued humming, her voice pleasant and the air was filled with her maidenly body scent.

Lu Yeming’s Adam’s apple bobbed unconsciously.

Murong Ling brought a tub of hot water in. “West Duke, where’s Qingqing? Oh my, what a beautiful scene, a beauty taking a bath...”

Murong Ling’s eyes riveted on the panel inside the room, he wanted to have a look of the beauty taking a bath too. But he hadn’t managed to see anything. Lu Yeming moved, blocking everything out of his sight with his body.

A fierce gaze was on Murong Ling’s face, and he ordered him, “Put the water down and get out.”

“...”

Murong Ling placed the bucket of water down unhappily and snorted before he left.

Seeing the man slam the door behind him, Fan Men then watched Murong Lin storming out of the room. Fan Men went in front, asking, “Third Prince, did you piss Master off again?”

Murong Ling’s face contorted. “Who dares to piss him off? He’s getting ready to take an intimate, shared bath. He’s really in a good mood now.”

“...”

Fan Men looked at the closed door, he hadn’t heard any news of Master preparing to take a shared bath with Miss Jun.

However...

Fan Men quickly lowered his head, he didn’t dare continue thinking about it any further. Who was he to even pry into Master’s personal life?

...

Jun Xiqing continued humming, taking off her top, only leaving a camisole on. She suddenly heard some footsteps, someone had come.

Who was it?

Jun Xiqing instantly wrapped her arms around her chest, turning around, only to see Lu Yeming stepping in the room, bringing with him a bucket of hot water.

“You... y-you... Put it down and get out!”

Lu Yeming poured the bucket of hot water into the wooden tub, glancing at her with the corner of his eyes. Jun Xiqing hid in a corner with her arms wrapped around her chest, looking at him warily.

She was a young maiden, her skin radiant, long hair let down and draped over her shoulders. She wore only a camisole and long pants underneath, accentuating her slim waist and feminine figure.

As his eyes followed her figure down, they became slightly red as he thought to himself, he loved Mo’er so dearly these years, he would do anything to ensure Mo’er lead a carefree life but he had never once had any desires for Mo’er. Mo’er was the most pure and untainted presence, just thinking about her made him feel ashamed of himself, he felt dirty even thinking of her.

But when he was with Jun Xiqing, when she wore a white dress and rode a wolf in the Capital three years ago, she captivated his eyes. She took his breath away during that first meeting.

It was then that he finally realized that he had desires too.

He was 24, though he was astute and prudent, it was inevitable for him to have urges at such an age.

Now he really couldn’t control himself seeing her ethereal beauty. Power and ambition had all been thrown to the back of his mind. He was just like a rash teen, he wanted to have her.

No, he needed to have her.

Now.

Lu Yeming started undoing the buttons on his clothes, his voice husky. “Let’s bathe together, hm?”

That ‘hm’ sounded so overbearing.

He wasn’t asking for her opinion.

He was merely informing her about it.

Jun Xiqing flushed crimson, she pushed him away. “Who wants to bathe with you? Get out!”

This man was so shameless! Jun Xiqing pushed him away, all the way out to the door. “Also, you’re not allowed to enter the house tonight. Sleep outside!”

They weren’t dating and they weren’t married, why did she have to serve him?

Lu Yeming stood outside the door, wanting to step inside but the next moment, she slammed the room door in his face.

Unbelievable. He was outright rejected, just like that.

The omnipotent Lu Yeming, who was high and mighty above everyone else, was kicked outside the door... This was definitely a first. Tens of millions of women would willingly throw themselves at him...

Knitting his brows together, Lu Yeming’s face became thunderous in an instant.
