As he hadn't removed his clothes, Lu Yeming's white shirt was already pulled out of his trousers and was plastered wetly against his beautiful body as the hot water splattered on him. His slim waist and shapely bottom formed a graceful line and he looked extremely sexy.

He hugged Jun Xiqing from the back, his figure one of perfection. His elegant eyes and brows were filled with a natural-born coldness and the mysterious aura he had gotten from being such an elite at a young age.

"Qingqing, call me Hubby."

All the while, he pressed against her white ear and spoke to her in a low, husky voice.

Even now, Lu Yeming could imagine her calling him Hubby as his brows knitted together. Her voice was melodious and beautiful and he was going to go numb if she called him 'Hubby' so sweetly.

Thinking about that sweet little mouth murmuring those words made his blood roar, filling him with rampant desire.

Jun Xiqing's pale lips curved upwards and she said, "Forget it."

She was rejecting him.

She was unwilling to call him 'Hubby'.

Lu Yeming blinked as he didn't show any signs of disappointment and remained calm. "That's fine too. That means giving birth to my child isn't the worst thing to you."

"Calling someone 'hubby' is reserved for my future husband. I'm going to get an abortion if I become pregnant with your child."

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Lu Yeming pushed her onto the wall and he pulled the towel off her, kissing her. "Qingqing, what's done is done. Can you stop saying these unfortunate words?"

"President Lu, how cruel must you be to keep bullying me like this?"

Lu Yeming hugged her. Her hands and feet were freezing. "Qingqing, as long as you're good, we can be like we were in the past."

"Ha.

Like they were in the past?

Jun Xiqing scoffed.

…

The next time Jun Xiqing opened her eyes, it was already the next morning and she was lying on his soft bed in his room.

The space beside her was empty. He had left.

He had already tried taking her once in the bathroom yesterday. Yet once the adoration between two lovers faded, making love became a meaningless chore and she had frozen up.

So he could only suppress his desire and kiss her for a while before putting on his gentlemanly facade. He really did know how to pity women.

He had helped her take a shower after that before carrying her back onto the bed.

Then he hugged her tightly in his exquisite chest. But when she thought that he was going to demand things from her again, he merely kissed her forehead and let her sleep earlier.

By then, she was completely exhausted, her body having been brought to its limits, and she fell into a deep sleep.

She had slept until the sun rose.

When she aweoke, Jun Xiqing ripped the blankets off herself and washed up simply before heading to the hospital.

Brother Dongfang Yu was still in a coma.

In the afternoon, the chauffeur brought her back to the palace. As she was walking across the garden, she noticed that the flowers were blooming beautifully.

She reached out to touch a rose.

But the thorns on the rose pricked her and fresh blood quickly appeared on her pale hands.

"Miss Jun, are you alright?" the maid asked.

Jun Xiqing shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

But bleeding was a bad omen.

On the other side of the garden, Dongfang Wanqing had an honored guest with her. "General Yue, it's been a long time since we last met. How are you?"

General Yue was tall and strong and anyone could tell at a glance that he was a military man trained in martial arts. He flicked his sleeves coldly and said, "I'm not doing well at all. My only biological brother was injured heavily when he was bitten by a little wolf prince a while ago, before he was given a life sentence by the military court. He's going to die in prison soon."

Dongfang Wanqing raised her head and saw Jun Xiqing.

She immediately smiled and said, "General Yue, I've heard of this matter. General Yue was actually… killed by Jun Xiqing."

Hearing her mention 'Jun Xiqing', General Yue's face filled with vile anger and hatred as he said, "I'll kill that woman if she ever sets foot in front of me."

"General Yue," Dongfang Wanqing said as she laughed with her hands pressed against her mouth, "You shouldn't say that. The youngest daughter of the Jun Family is one of the brightest in the world and she shines beautifully. I don't think you'll be able to part with her life if you ever set your eyes on her.

"Ah, speak of the devil. Look, General Yue, I think that's Jun Xiqing over there."

When General Yue gazed in the direction Dongfang Wanqing was pointing, he immediately saw Jun Xiqing.

Today Jun Xiqing was in a white chiffon dress, standing in front of a beautifully-bloomed rose. A veil covered her small face, only revealing her bright eyes and a sliver of her smooth skin. But that was enough for her to give off a bright aura, like a deity that had descended from the heavens.

General Yue was much like his brother and loved beautiful women, as well as playing with them. And he especially loved innocent school girls. The moment he set eyes on Jun Xiqing, he was stunned by her beauty and suddenly felt as though the pure women he had been playing with were nothing compared to her.

As General Yue assessed Jun Xiqing's curvaceous figure with obscene eyes, he decided.

He was going to play with this goddess.

Besides, it would be so exciting to have the youngest daughter of the Jun Family lie down beside him.

Dongfang Wanqing looked at General Yue's lascivious expression and said softly, "General Yue, her beauty wasn't a myth right?"

General Yue rubbed his hands together as his eyes raked over her figure. "What an innocent little beauty. I can't kill her. I must… play with her first, until I'm sick of her."

Dongfang Wanqing rejoiced silently in her heart as her ploy came into fruition.

…

Jun Xiqing returned to her room as a maid walked in. "Miss Jun, His Majesty is currently holding a banquet to entertain an important guest."

"Alright," Jun Xiqing said lightly.

"Miss Jun, His Majesty wants you to head over now and attend the banquet."

Jun Xiqing remained silent.

Was she even allowed to decline?

…

Half an hour later.

Jun Xiqing got off the limousine and walked into the banquet. The banquet was illuminated brilliantly with lights and people were talking to each other and making toasts.

Bright eyes scanned the banquet but couldn't find the man in question. So she turned, wanting to find a place to sit down.

But the moment she did, a tall, strong figure walked in front of her and said, "Nice to meet you, Miss Jun."

Jun Xiqing had already been in her position for three years, so she recognized General Yue immediately. She had even dealt with his brother personally not too long ago.

She could never have imagined that he was the special guest.

Jun Xiqing's gaze turned cold as she noticed his gaze rake up and down her small face and curvaceous body repeatedly. He was even more perverted than his brother.

"General Yue, I have something to attend to, so please excuse me."

Jun Xiqing looked at him coldly and turned to leave.

"Miss Jun, I haven't finished what I wanted to say yet, so don't be in such a rush to leave." General Yue reached out to block her.

"Miss Jun, what milk did you drink growing up? Your skin is so smooth and delicate I think it'll break if I even do so much as blow on it. Let me have a feel, eh?"

Without waiting for assent, General Yue reached eagerly for her face.

Although Jun Xiqing didn't move, her bright eyes quickly turned chilly as she said, "Try touching me and see what happens?"
