Chapter 1364 - I Am His Woman Now
That problem…
Jun Xiqing fluttered her long lashes. Her Elder Sister was already back, which meant that Dongfang Ruoli’s side of things had gone well.
She knew Lu Yeming’s methods very well. Those men were just clowns and not even worth a glance from him.
How could he not know Dongfang Ruoli was hiding inside the wardrobe? He was merciless when he wished to deal with someone.
But recalling their earlier activities, how he pressed down on her body and pinched her cheeks hard. How he breathed out the words, “Does it feel good? I am nothing in your heart. You can deliver me to another woman’s bed within even blinking. Later on, I will let another woman enjoy the same pleasure as you are now.”
She had no idea whether he was speaking the truth.
She could not fathom what was going on behind those deep almond-shaped eyes.
So Jun Xiqing gave up thinking about it. “We will know soon.”
Having just bathed, Jun Xiqing was wearing a white gauze dress. Her silky hair was wet and combed back from her head, her palm-sized face was pristine and flawless, while her eyes were spirited and lively. She looked exactly like a beautiful lake fairy.
But her gaze was cold and clear, and fixed unwavering on Jun Xiyan’s panicked face.
“Your Highness, the number that Elder Sister dialed is to Country A. The other party is very vigilant and immediately hung up just as we were tracing the call. The trace just disappeared into thin air.” Ping Ping reported to Jun Xiqing.
Jun Xiqing looked at Jun Xiyan. “Elder Sister, do you have anything you wish to say to me?”
But her sister only shook her head in disbelief. “Qingqing, you set down a trap for me? You have been suspecting me since a long time ago, but you kept silent about it. Earlier when I entered your room, you and Ping Ping put on an act, and you even assigned someone to monitor me. Am I right?”
Jun Xiqing’s eyes were like waves of crystal clear water, rippling in a manner which touched the heart. “Elder Sister, yes, I have been suspecting you for some time now. Right from the moment you were kidnapped!
“You were kidnapped in Country Z. I had someone investigate and found out that you purposely arranged for your personal maid to be away during the time of the kidnapping. Elder Sister, you collaborated with outsiders to put on an act. You even plotted to have outside enemies enter the restricted areas in the President’s residence. You are a diplomat, don’t you know such behavior is equivalent to treason?”
Jun Xiqing turned pale. “Qingqing, I am your sister…”
“I wouldn’t have rescued you if you were not my sister. If I didn’t save you, you would no longer have any value. The fake kidnapping would have become a real kidnapping. Elder Sister, did you ever consider the seriousness of such a consequence? Did you ever stop to think?”
“I… Qingqing, I did it for your own good. I really don’t wish for you and Lu Yeming to be together.”
Jun Xiqing closed her eyes before opening them again. Sadness and hurt were mired in her dewy eyes. “Elder Sister, are you really doing this purely for my own good?”
Jun Xiqing’s face changed. “Qingqing, what do you mean by that?”
“Elder Sister, you were an exceptional diplomat at the age of 20. At that time, I was still very young and was raised somewhere far away where no one knew about me. Everyone praised you for your talents and achievements, not at all inferior to any man. You achieved great results and became the top diplomat. More recently, you secretly started amassing your own resources and power. I have been turning a blind eye to your doings for the sake of our sisterly relations.
“But this time, you have really crossed the line. From now on, I am suspending you from all your duties. Take this time to reflect on your actions.”
What?
Jun Xiyan gasped. She stared at Jun Xiqing in shock. So she had known all along.
She had known everything.
Now she was going to strip her of all her authority.
“Qingqing, I…”
“Elder Sister.” Jun Xiqing looked at Jun Xiyan. “Let me ask you something. What is the relationship between you and that mysterious woman?”
Completely stunned, Jun Xiyan felt like she had been stripped bare and left exposed.
Unexpectedly, Jun Xiqing didn’t probe further. “Take care of yourself.”
Jun Xiqing left with Ping Ping.
…
Jun Xiqing had just left the room when she bumped into a familiar face in the corridor. It was Dongfang Ruoli.
Dongfang Ruoli was wearing a long pink dress. In the few short hours since she last saw her, Dongfang Ruoli now looked soft and rosy, as if she had just soaked in a tub full of honey.
“Your Highness, what a coincidence.”
When she noticed Jun Xiqing, Dongfang Ruoli smiled smugly.
Jun Xiqing paused.
Dongfang Ruoli strutted over and gave a low laugh. “Your Highness, I suppose I must really thank you. I slept with His Highness last night. I am his woman now.”
