Chapter 1350 - Why Should I Let You Have Her?
All the guests had found their respective dance partners and the floor was filled with handsome men and lovely ladies. Everyone was very satisfied with the results.
The crystal chandelier sparkled and a gentle breeze blew by. Jun Xiqing smiled as she tugged at the red string in her hand.
The people in front slowly dispersed and Jun Xiqing’s gaze followed the red string toward a tall, elegant figure.
Lu Yeming.
Lu Yeming was holding the other end of the red string.
Was this fate?
Somehow, both of them had picked the same red string.
Jun Xiqing fluttered her long lashes. On the other end of the string, Lu Yeming gazed at her, as ripples surfaced in those profound eyes of his. Standing at their respective spots, they both held their destiny in their hands. The destiny issued down by the god of matchmaking.
Lu Yeming glanced at the red string in his hand, and then at the other end of it in Jun Xiqing’s soft hands. He smirked and said slowly, “Why should I let you have her?”
A sharpness flashed across Young Master Mu’s eyes, but he followed up with a warm smile. “To be honest, I am currently pursuing Ms Jun.”
At his straightforward words, Jun Xiqing looked at Mu Yanfeng.
“President Lu is already married, and I heard that your relationship with Empress Dongfang is very good. Over the past three years, Empress Dongfang didn’t bear you any children but President Lu still has no intention of marrying another. Even though the daughters of several political heads have recently expressed their interest in you, you rejected them all.”
Lu Yeming looked at Mu Yanfeng. “Looks like Young Master Mu is very well-informed.”
“You flatter me. I wonder if President Lu is willing to help fulfill my request?”
Caught up in this awkward situation, Jun Xiqing was completely unwilling to dance with Lu Yeming. Of course she would rather choose Mu Yanfeng!
As a result, she looked expectantly toward Lu Yeming, hoping that he would give up.
Lu Yeming shifted his profound gaze from Mu Yanfeng to Jun Xiqing. Then he said in a magnetic voice, “Of course…”
Jun Xiqing lit up with relief.
“…not.” Lu Yeming added.
Jun Xiqing, “…”
“Ms Jun, may I have this dance?” Lu Yeming requested Jun Xiqing in a very gentlemanly manner.
What was he playing at! Jun Xiqing threw the red string on the ground. Of course not!
But before she could say those three words, Lu Yeming had grabbed her fair little hand and was leading her onto the dance floor.
…
On the dance floor.
Jun Xiqing flung his hand away. “President Lu, let go of me.”
But Lu Yeming wrapped his arms around her soft waist and pulled her into his embrace. “Stop making a scene. Everyone is watching you.”
Indeed, many pairs of eyes were turned upon them.
Now, both of them were public figures who represented their respective countries. Jun Xiqing immediately stopped struggling.
As Lu Yeming held her dainty hand in one palm, the other was pressed gently against her soft waist. They started dancing.
He was dignified and elegant. She was beautiful and radiant. The two of them were of royal blood and received the highest level of elite education and upper-class training. Their dance steps were perfectly coordinated and her pale blue dress swirled charmingly around his western-style pants.
Quite a number of people were on the dance floor, and Jun Xiqing was being squeezed forward until her soft body was pressed tightly against his.
She had not been willing to dance with him in the first place, and felt all the more uncomfortable now. She wriggled about.
Amidst all the movement, she ended up rubbing against him and this gave Lu Yeming a mild tingling sensation.
Pinching her soft waist, he warned her in a low voice. “Stop wriggling about, hm?”
Did he think she would do whatever he said, just because he demanded it? Jun Xiqing didn’t notice anything strange about his body and squirmed around again. “Why should I listen to you?”
So Lu Yeming slid his hands downward, stopping at her perky butt. He gave a firm push and pressed her onto his own body with a pointed expression.
Jun Xiqing immediately raised her brow. “Why are you poking me with something? Stop it!”
