Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

Chapter 1353: Why Are You Still Not Pregnant

Ping Ping didn’t put the cell phone on speaker mode, but the inside of the car was so quiet that the senator’s angry voice resonated clearly within the space.

“Your Highness, what is going on? Are you really not a virgin? Who is the man? Who did you sleep with?” the senator pursued.

“…”

Jun Xiqing instinctively lifted her eyes and glanced in front of her.

She met a pair of deep eyes reflected in the rear view mirror. It was like they were linked telepathically. Lu Yeming was also looking at her.

He was her first man.

And her only man.

The saying went that a woman would never forget her first man. This saying was not at all false.

Images from what happened three years ago flashed by Jun Xiqing’s mind like a movie reel. Her first time with him was on the wedding night of him and Ye Ruge. That night, he didn’t go to Ye Ruge’s room, but had instead gone to hers and raped her.

Her first time was not at all wonderful.

Thereafter, it happened another two times.

It was during those two dark and stormy nights when they were in that little village. She had slept with him on both nights.

At that time, she was only 20 years old. She was no longer sure whether it was because he had seduced her or because she couldn’t resist his allure—after all, he was the man she liked. She only remembered that he had given her a taste of what it felt like to be a real woman.

In return, she had left a most unforgettable impression on his body.

Jun Xiqing stared at him in a daze. Lu Yeming was also looking at her. She could feel herself gradually softening under his gaze.

Perhaps he was also thinking of the past, like she was. He watched her with a warm, loving expression, like how a man would look at his beloved woman.

He had always been very magnanimous and charming to women. Just one gentle glance from him could make scores of women fall in love with him.

Thump thump.

Once again, her heart was pounding for him.

She immediately averted her gaze.

“Your Highness, you really have no self-love or preservation. You are not married yet, how could you so easily give your virginity to a man? If that man really loves you, why didn’t he marry you after sleeping with you? And if that man doesn’t love you, then you have given him your virginity for nothing. How is that any different from degrading yourself?”

The senators were all very old-fashioned in their thinking. Sex before marriage was an absolute no-no for them. It was a disgrace.

Although these senators had very high and harsh expectations for Jun Xiqing, it could be heard from those words just how much they still adored this miracle that was the young daughter of the Jun family.

Jun Xiqing’s delicate little face had turned all shades of red and white. How was she suddenly thrown into the spotlight? “Senator…”

“Alright, Your Highness. You don’t need to explain to us. We have already taken actions to suppress those rumors. You don’t need to come back tomorrow. We have arranged a matchmaking date for you.”

“Matchmaking?” Jun Xiqing raised her brows.

“Yes, matchmaking. This person has passed all our criteria. There are absolutely no issues with his personality, his power or his looks. He is very compatible to Your Highness. We will send out word of your romance, and those rumors swirling outside will naturally come to a halt.”

“Senator…”

“Your Highness, let me remind you once again. You are now the President of this country. Every single move you make represents the entire nation. Before you chose this pathway, which has always been a terribly unkind one for women, you should have already known that you would have no choice over many matters, including your marriage.”

With that, the senator hung up the phone.

Jun Xiqing remained silent for a few moments before handing the cell phone over to Ping Ping.

Ping Ping looked at Jun Xiqing with much concern. But as they were others around, she didn’t say anything.

“Beauty.” Liuchuan spoke up. “I never expected you to already have a man. Come on, tell me in secret, who is this man?”

Lu Yeming once again looked at Jun Xiqing, only to see her pull her own clothing tighter around her body, and lean her little face nonchalantly against the car window. She said in a mild tone, “I don’t remember anymore. Perhaps… I was bitten by a dog.”

Was she calling him a dog?

Lu Yeming smirked. He was no dog. He was a… wolf.

And she knew how to train wolves, right?

…

The entrance of XX Hotel.

Jun Xiqing alighted and entered the hotel without even looking back.

Ping Ping stood by the car and said politely, “President Lu, thank you.”

It was as if he hadn’t heard her. His gaze lingered after the departing profile of Jun Xiqing.

Ping Ping caught up with Jun Xiqing.

“Nephew Yeming, she has already gone. What are you still looking at? Don’t tell me you’re really attracted to that beauty?” Liuchuan stared at Lu Yeming accusingly.

Lu Yeming remained expressionless as he pressed down on the accelerator. He only said blandly, “You better behave yourself. If you anger me, I will send you to the South Pole to keep the penguins company.”

“…”

Damn, this man is so vicious.

“Nephew Yeming, let’s not talk about that beauty anymore. Let’s talk about Dongfang Ruoli. Brother-in-law is terribly anxious. He’s tasked me to monitor you and Dongfang Ruoli closely, for you two to quickly bear a son.”

Liuchuan’s brother-in-law was… Murong Jiancheng.

Although Murong Jiancheng already split up with Bei Yuewu, he still loved and doted on this little brother and the two of them had a pretty good relationship.

A smirk appeared on Lu Yeming’s lips. “Then help me tell him that he seems to have a lot of spare time on his hands. Rather than hoping for a grandson, he should take this time to quickly get a new wife to bear a son of his own.”

“…”

Liuchuan was in awe of Lu Yeming. Murong Jiancheng would probably blow up from anger if he really passed on this message.

“Yeming, where is my sister? How did she disappear? You must know of her whereabouts, right? Hurry up and tell me.”

“Look at how great brother-in-law is to Sister. She has already been gone for so many years, but he is still unwilling to marry again. I think brother-in-law truly loves Sister.”

He was only met with silence.

…

In the villa.

The maid opened the door to the villa, and Lu Yeming entered.

“Your Highness, you are back?” Dongfang Ruoli hurried over. She reached out to help Lu Yeming undo the buttons on his clothes.

But before she could even touch the edges of his shirt, Lu Yeming had disappeared upstairs and entered his study.

Leaving Dongfang Ruoli there standing alone.

The maid stole a glimpse at her, her heart filled with pity. This Empress appeared so glorious on the surface, but was a living widow in private. She was so pitiful.

“What are you looking at? Continue staring and I will dig your eyes out!” Left with no choice, Dongfang Ruoli directed her rage at the maid.

Frightened, the maid quickly apologized and ran into the kitchen. Dongfang Ruoli went upstairs and entered her room. At this moment, her cell phone rang.

“Hello, Auntie.”

It was Dongfang Wanqing.

“Ruoli, what’s going on with you over there? It’s already been three years since you married Lu Yeming. Why are you still not pregnant?”
