Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

Chapter 1411 - Entering Her Room



Chapter 1411: Entering Her Room

Mu Yanyan’s eyes flashed after hearing Dongfang Wanqing’s words. “Auntie Wanqing, what are your intentions?”

Dongfang Wanqing gave a slight smile. “You don’t need to know. Just do exactly as I’ve instructed.”

The Palace.

Inside the study, Mu Yanyan handed the jade pendant over to Lu Yeming. “President Lu, I picked up this jade pendant in the corridor of the bar. I think it should belong to Sister Jun. I hope that President Lu will help me pass it back to her.”

Lu Yeming stood tall and erect at the floor-length windows. He turned slightly and looked mildly at Mu Yanyan’s little face. “Miss Mu, since it is hers, why don’t you hand it over to her directly? Why are you passing it to me instead?”

Taken aback, Mu Yanyan didn’t know how to respond. Although his gaze was not at all harsh now, she still felt chilled to the bone.

This man was quite perceptive. She could not afford to be careless.

Mu Yanyan quickly lowered her voice. “President Lu, there’s something I wish to tell you. Dongfang Wanqing was the one who asked me to seek you out.”

“Oh?”

Putting his hands in his pockets, Lu Yeming looked every part the gentleman in his tailormade black shirt and pants, the epitome of class and elegance. He narrowed his deep eyes and looked at Mu Yanyan with traces of amusement, before indicating that she should continue speaking.

“Dongfang Wanqing sought me out to tell me that this jade pendant belongs to Sister Jun. She is the true Holy Lady whom the Holy Lady Clan has been seeking all along. 23 years ago, it was Yuan Ming who gave Sister Jun to the Jun Family.”

At these words, Fan Men’s expression underwent a major change. Miss Jun was… the true Holy Lady of the Holy Lady Clan?

Good lord….Fan Men looked at Lu Yeming in shock. Meanwhile, Lu Yeming was still standing calmly at the floor-length window. His flawlessly handsome face was emotionless, but his eyes had darkened. They were like two cold abysses, extremely spine-chilling.

After a few seconds of silence, he slowly unrolled a scroll.

This scroll was identical to the one that Yuan Ming had opened before. It showed the previous Jiu You Holy Lady riding Bailing, the Ancient Kui Mu wolf, on the ocean.

The prophecy was real.

One hundred years later, the next Jiu You Holy Lady had finally appeared.

Lu Yeming glanced at Mu Yanyan, his tone warm and gentle. “Miss Mu, you have done me a great favor. How can I repay you?”

At this, Mu Yanyan quickly shook her head. She looked at the man with eyes full of devout adoration. “President Lu, I don’t need any reward. I am doing this out of my own free will. In the future, even if I have to sacrifice my life for you, I will not hesitate.”

“Why would I want your life? But I do have something I need you to do for me.”

“President Lu, do tell me.”

“Forget about today’s incident. Don’t mention it to anyone.”

Mu Yanyan’s heart jumped. What were his intentions?

He now knew that Jun Xiqing was a true Holy Lady. The moment they publicly announced Jun Xiqing’s identity, according to their traditional laws, he would be able to marry Jun Xiqing as his Empress. She would then bear him princes in future.

But he was now refusing to let her mention this.

Did it mean that he didn’t want anyone to know of Jun Xiqing’s status as a Holy Lady?

Why?

Mu Yanyan’s heart was full of doubts. But she was a smart girl and so refrained from asking questions. In front of a man like Lu Yeming, the more one asked questions, the more one was likely to say something wrong. She just needed to lower herself and lay devoutly by his feet. To carefully try all means to please him. That was all she had to do.

“Yes, President Lu. I will definitely not mention this matter to anyone.”

Lu Yeming nodded with satisfaction. “You may take your leave.”

Mu Yanyan obediently left.

Silence descended over the study. Fan Men stepped forward and said in a low voice, “Your Highness, so Miss Jun is the true Holy Lady. This…”

Lu Yeming looked at the scroll and said in a chilly voice, “She can never know this.”

“Yes.” Fan Men nodded respectfully.

At this moment, Fan Men’s cell phone rang.

Fan Men retreated to the side to take the call. The expression on his face underwent a major change when he heard what the caller had to say.

“Your Highness, bad news!”

Lu Yeming glanced at Fan Men.

“Your Highness, the prison on Qingdao Island just reported that Dongfang Yu has escaped and his whereabouts are unknown.”

Lu Yeming’s eyes darkened and became as black as ink, deep and bottomless. “A bunch of useless fools. They can’t even keep watch over a single man!”

Fan Men broke out in cold sweat. He stammered, “Your Highness, Dongfang Yu is not… your usual man. He is a son of Jiu You and Miss Jun’s… brother!”

Fan Men continued, “Although all rumors regarding Dongfang Yu had been wiped clean, he was actually a powerful fiend in his heyday. Everyone who met him would cry out in fright. If not for the ex-ruler setting down a honey-trap for him six years ago, causing him to meet his doom at the hands of a woman and then locking him up at Qingdao Island’s prison, he would probably have turned the world upside down.

“This Dongfang Yu is a very self-righteous man and would never admit to his faults. Now that he has escaped, he is certain to seek revenge. In addition, Miss Jun is here and Dongfang Yu is sure to recognize her true identity.”

The more Fan Men thought about it, the more anxious he became. It was like he could already sense Dongfang Yu’s energy in the palace.

The palace had very tight security but it would be a piece of cake for Dongfang Yu to break in if he wished to.

A dark chilliness fell over Lu Yeming’s face. He ordered in a calm tone. “Go prepare a fake jade pendant.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

At night.

Lu Yeming returned to his own bedroom. He placed his palm on the door to push it open, but it was locked.

She had locked him out.

This was his room.

Lu Yeming smirked as he knocked on the door with his knuckles. “Qingqing, open the door.”

A lazy voice sounded out from the inside. It was Jun Xiqing. “President Lu, have you found my jade pendant?”

“What if I said I didn’t?”

Silence. It was as if she couldn’t even be bothered to answer him.

This woman was really obstinate.

Lu Yeming continued knocking rhythmically. “I will give you three seconds to open the door, or don’t even dream of getting your jade pendant back.”

The door immediately opened. Jun Xiqing’s little face appeared in the crack. She reached out her hand. “Where’s my jade pendant?”

Lu Yeming handed her the pendant.

Jun Xiqing’s eyes brightened. She scrutinized the jade pendant carefully. It was really her pendant.

Her jade pendant had returned.

Thank goodness…

“Qingqing, I have already accomplished my task. That means I can get my reward tonight?”

Jun Xiqing looked up at him. Lu Yeming’s eyes burned darkly as he came straight to the point.

Then she reached out to close the door.

But he stretched out one long leg and kicked it wide open.
