Chapter 1264 - I’m Sorry, Qingqing
Jun Xiqing took the letter and left to look for Lu Yeming. Standing outside a parterre, Jun Xiqing stopped walking when she saw Lu Yeming.
Among the beautiful flowers, Lu Yeming stood there, exuding a cool, charismatic aura that attracted the attention of many.
And he wasn’t alone, Dongfang Ruoli stood in front of him.
Dongfang Ruoli looked at him with clear infatuation, her face blushing crimson. Lu Yeming’s deep-set eyes landed on her face and he lifted his hand.
Jun Xiqing saw him touching Dongfang Ruoli’s face. As he did so, Dongfang Ruoli lowered her eyes, behaving coyly as Lu Yeming touched her face.
Without saying a word, Jun Xiqing just looked at them, then she turned around to leave.
…
After Jun Xiqing left, Dongfang Ruoli looked at the man before her eyes proudly, speaking up, “West Duke…”
Jun Xiqing’s lashes fluttered, she lowered her eyes quietly. “Oh.”
She just replied to him just like that.
And now, Lu Yeming’s gaze was no longer on her. “You may leave.”
Jun Xiqing turned to leave. She walked away slowly, taking small steps but it progressively became big strides. She wanted to leave the place as soon as possible.
But when she was at the door, her skirt was stuck between the door. There couldn’t possibly be anyone who was more unlucky than her now.
Stretching her arm out, Jun Xiqing tried to pull the fabric out but it was still not budging. She couldn’t help but be frustrated at the situation, she tried to just tear the fabric apart.
Even these stupid clothes were against her!
It was really too much!
A large hand suddenly appeared and his deep enigmatic voice rang in her ears. “Let me do it.”
Lu Yeming had appeared, standing beside her. It didn’t help that he came. Once he appeared beside her, Jun Xiqing’s eyes reddened and tears welled up inside. She quickly turned her face away.
“Done.”
Jun Xiqing left without looking at him.
After taking only two steps, tears cascaded down her face. She lifted her head, trying to control the tears but even her body wasn’t listening to her.
She hated herself.
She hated her weak self.
She shouldn’t have just responded with an ‘oh’ earlier on, she should have lifted her hand to give him a slap.
He was too much!
But suddenly, two arms appeared from behind, wrapping around her waist, and Lu Yeming hugged her from behind.
She stood there frozen, just like that.
Lu Yeming hugged her, bending over to kiss her hair, whispering into her ears, “I’m sorry.”
Jun Xiqing wiped her traitorous tears away. “God knows how much I yearn to break free from you and return to Country Z. This is not the first time I’ve thought about leaving you, it’s been in my mind countless times, but the right way to leave would be me leaving by myself and with my own efforts, not you letting me go.
“I know that you love Sister Mo’er. When Sister Mo’er was still alive, she took up all the space in your heart. I know you loved her so much and after she has left, she has become the greatest pain in your heart. She’s the only irreplaceable presence in your life, but Lu Yeming, what am I?
“When Sister Mo’er was alive, you wanted to lead your best life, you wanted to get married and have children. The first time you saw me in the Capital, you decided I fulfilled your criteria and so you used underhanded methods to keep me by your side.
“You schemed everything, taking away my chastity, you raped me! But you chose to not continue being a despicable rapist, but instead, jumped off the cliff to save me. You’re gentle, loving yet also devious. You switch between those characters so easily, you have no morals.
“Now that Sister Mo’er is gone, I know that you will let me go. That’s because you won’t be leading a proper life now. You won’t even bother, you won’t even pretend at all. Now you’ve lost all interest in me, you’re going to just brush me off as if I’m a pathetic dog.
“I admit that I’m feeling angry, humiliated and sad. But I don’t know, I just don’t know at all. What exactly did I do to provoke you!”
Hearing her try to suppress and hold down the sob that was threatening to escape, Lu Yeming furrowed his brows and exerted more strength, hugging her tightly. His voice was completely hoarse.
“I’m sorry, Qingqing.”
