Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The West Duke, Tang Chenyi, was the Emperor Star.
Jun Xiqing nodded. “Elder Sister, even if the West Duke is the Emperor Star, why should I keep my distance from him?”
“Because...” Jun Xiyan’s voice trailed off.
“Because of what? Elder Sister, are you all keeping sothing from ? Did that High Priest who ca to our house predict sothing about my fate?”
Jun Xiqing sighed. She could not keep the truth away from Qing’er, but no matter how intelligent Qing’er was, she was clueless when it ca to matters of romance.
That High Priest did indeed leave a prediction regarding Jun Xiqing’s fate, but she could not be told about this.
“Qing’er, don’t ask about this again. You just have to listen to and stay away from Tang Chenyi.”
“I understand, Elder Sister. Oh yes, the West Palace of Country A has sent over a beauty to the West Duke. Her na is i’er.”
Jun Xiyan thought for a mont and replied, “This i’er is the most seductive and coquettish woman in Ah Jiao’s room. Ah Jiao’s room is where n spend their money lavishly without care. A lot of n have spent their family fortune just to see i’er. i’er has learned how to please a man since she was young. It seems like the West Palace has sent this i’er over to teach the West Duke matters between a man and a woman?
Matters between... a man and a woman?
Tang Chenyi also ntioned “matters between a man and a woman” today. Jun Xiqing’s eyes lit up. “Elder Sister, what do you an by ‘matters between a man and a woman’?
“This...”
Jun Xiyan was unable to explain. The daughters of the Jun Family were demure ladies and they were embarrassed to speak about such unconventional topics.
Having been nurtured by Jun Mosheng since she was young, Jun Xiqing had received all forms of education, except sexual education.
“Qing’er, you’re still young and you don’t need to know the matters between n and won, but you need to listen carefully to what Elder Sister is going to tell you. The dukes of Country A engage in warfare and they hold a lot of power. Their system is still traditional and obsolete and the n there have many wives. The four dukes of the North, South, East and West will have their own duchesses, but they will also have many concubines. The West Duke is going to be 22 years old soon and will marry his duchess and have his own descendants. He will have many won by his side in the future, and he will not practise monogamy.”
Jun Xiyan’s aning was obvious. She wanted Qing’er to stay away from the West Duke.
Jun Xiqing bit down on her red lips with her white teeth. She was familiar with the system in Country A and she disliked it deeply. Her father, brother-in-law and even her uncle were sentintal people and monogamy was the best form of love in her eyes.
“Elder Sister, I believe that soone will end the warfare in Country A one day. That person will also implent monogamy in the country.”
“...”
Jun Xiyan startled. She believed in the High Priest’s words. That High Priest was not only referring to one Emperor Star, he was actually referring to two Emperor Stars!
When this day ca, there would be two Emperors.
But Jun Xiyan felt relieved for now. Qing’er did not care about how many won the West Duke would have in the future. This ant that Qing’er did not like the West Duke.
She could still make it in ti.
“Qing’er, it’s late now, you’d better rest early. We will chat again when we’re both free.”
“Alright, Elder Sister. Good night.”
...
At a six-star hotel.
Lin Xuanji exited the washroom. At this mont, she saw a tall and handso figure in the corridor. It was Lu Jinwen.
It was apparent that Lu Jinwen had co to look for her.
The man stuck both hands into his trousers pockets and his almond-shaped eyes landed on her face. “You are marrying Jun Mosheng for your son?”
He had heard Tang Chenyi and Jun Xiqing’s conversation just now and he was very much aware of the chaotic situation in Country A.
Lin Xuanji swept away the hair by her cheek. “I’ve nothing to comnt about this question.”
“You!” Lu Jinwen strode over to her, his handso face filled with rage. “You’re not allowed to marry Jun Mosheng. You can only marry !”
“What did you say?” Lin Xuanji looked at him, as if she did not comprehend his words.
Lu Jinwen took out sothing from his pocket and grasped her hand forcefully. “Marry and be my Mrs Lu!”
Lin Xuanji looked down and saw a diamond ring nestled in his palm.
The diamond ring was sparkling brightly.
He had kept it in his trouser pocket, and now he was going to put the ring on her ring finger.
Lin Xuanji promptly curled her fingers and clenched her fists to prevent him from putting the ring on her. “Lu Jinwen, are you proposing to ?”
“Are you deaf or blind to ask the obvious?” Lu Jinwen replied in a displeased manner.
“...”
Only Lu Jinwen could propose marriage in such an arrogant fashion. Why was she even surprised?
Lin Xuanji wanted to retract her own hand. “Lu Jinwen, do you know how to propose? You need to kneel on one knee to propose marriage.”
Kneel?
Lu Jinwen looked at Lin Xuanji with knitted brows and said in conceit. “I’m not kneeling.”
He had never knelt before in front of anyone and he was definitely not going to do it now.
“Forget about it then.” Lin Xuanji withdrew her head and turned around to leave.
She had just walked one step when the man blocked her way. “Lin Xuanji, if you still do not marry after I have knelt, you’re dead!”
Lin Xuanji, “...”
She had heard similar words before but she was still living perfectly well.
At this mont, the man hunched his tall and handso body to kneel on one knee. “Lin Xuanji, marry . Let’s live well together for the rest of our lives. I’ll make it up to you doubly for the love that we have lost all these years. Marry and be my Mrs Lu!”
With that, he pulled her hand and wanted to place the diamond ring on her finger.
But Lin Xuanji did not let him do so.
Lu Jinwen’s handso features suddenly beca grim. This Emperor was kneeling for the first ti in his entire life, and even though he was kneeling, his imposing presence and haughtiness was still able to garner respect from others. He stared at Lin Xuanji. “What do you an?”
Lin Xuanji stood up slowly and looked at Lu Jinwen. “Although you’ve knelt before to propose, I still need to consider.”
Lu Jinwen pursed his thin lips. “Then consider right now!”
“Oh.”
Lin Xuanji did consider it seriously. Two minutes had passed... and she was still considering, and Lu Jinwen was still kneeling.
At this mont, there was a flurry of footsteps. Jun Mosheng had arrived.
Lu Jinwen had also seen his rival in love. His countenance was grim at letting his rival see him kneeling to propose marriage.
“Have you finished considering?”
“I’ve thought about it and I can’t accept your proposal.”
“What did you say?” Lu Jinwen stood up promptly. “Damn it, Lin Xuanji, you are not accepting my proposal and you still asked to kneel for so long?”
“Lu Jinwen, how can you be so confident that I would marry you? After all, you are a man who was once married.” Upon saying that, Lin Xuanji smiled. “I asked you to kneel because I want to see you do it.”
