Chapter 1391 - Be My Empress

Chapter 1391: Be My Empress
The entire arena fell silent the moment Jun Xiqing appeared. All eyes were fixed upon her as if completely mesmerized. When she saw the response of the crowd, Lady Mei was very satisfied.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to start the auction now. The highest bidder will attain this beauty.

The moment she finished her words, someone shouted,
I am offering a hundred million dollars.


Jun Xiqing’s starting bid was a hundred million dollars.
The whole venue erupted in commotion.

I am offering two hundred million.


One billion.


1.5 billion.

One by one, the people in the crowd shouted out their bids. Fan Men said in a low voice,
Your Highness, it looks like these people are really putting up their entire family fortunes.

By his side, Lu Yeming stood tall and erect by the carved railing, his hands tucked into his pockets. He had not called out a single bid.
Instead, he raised his brows slightly and looked toward Mu Yanfeng, who was on the opposite side.

Mu Yanfeng was here and he was at the private lounge on the opposite side. The two of them exchanged glances and sparks ignited between them.
The butler standing behind Mu Yanfeng raised a placard.
My Young Master is offering USD 5 billion.

Holy christ. USD 5 billion.
Everyone gasped.
This number immediately threw all the competition out the window,
Everyone looked up. So it was Young Master Mu.
The Mu Family used to deal in illegal businesses and was particularly active in money laundering. Over the years, they managed to revamp themselves and became a noble family, to the point that even the president had to show them respect. As a result, the Mu Family had no lack of money.

Alright, Young Master Mu is offering USD 5 billion. Does anyone wish to top that bid?
Lady Mei asked with a smile.
Lu Yeming gave a backward glance at Fan Men.
Fan Men quickly raised a placard.
His Highness is offering USD 5.1 billion.


The entire arena was instantly electrified.
So Lu Yeming and Mu Yanfeng were officially facing off each other.
Mu Yanfeng’s butler once again raised his placard.
Young Master Mu is bidding USD 6 billion.

Fan Men smiled.
His Highness already said that no matter what Young Master Mu offered, we would add a hundred million to it.

Mu Yanfeng stood up and looked at Lu Yeming.
President Lu, are you really going to pit your entire family fortune against mine?

Lowering his eyes, Lu Yeming’s gaze was only on Jun Xiqing’s little face. The corners of his lips curled up nonchalantly.
Young Master Mu, don’t covet my woman. She belongs to me.

The crowd gasped. President Lu and Jun Xiqing were together?
Just as the atmosphere reached a peak, a soft murmur sounded out.
Lu Yeming’s ear twitched. That soft murmur was like an electric shock through his body.
Jun Xiqing had woken up.


Sister Qingqing, are you awake?

Lady Mei immediately helped Jun Xiqing sit up.
Jun Xiqing had been plied with alcohol by Lady Mei last night. She scanned her surroundings and instantly knew she was being auctioned off.
After shooting Lady Mei a glare, she stood up. As she wasn’t wearing any shoes, her fair little feet stepped onto the soft red carpet. Her floaty white dress trailed on the floor, her long black hair flowing behind. She stepped forward, the very picture of grace and elegance.

Ms. Jun, President Lu, and Young Master Mu are competing against each other to attain you. Who will you choose?


That’s right Lady Mei, let Ms. Jun choose herself. Is she willing to go with President Lu and be an Empress, or will she choose to follow Young Master Mu and become a Madam.

Lady Mei nodded.
Alright, Sister Qingqing, make your own choice.

Let her choose?
Could she choose neither?

Xiqing, come with me.
Mu Yanfeng called out.
Jun Xiqing was wearing a veil. She glanced up at Mu Yanfeng. Her heart was filled with gratitude for this Young Master Mu, whom she had only known for a short time.
At this moment, a low, malevolent voice sounded out.
Turn your face around. If you dare to look at him again, just wait and see how I will deal with you both.


…

As always, the powerful and domineering Lu Yeming held absolutely no regard for anyone. Jun Xiqing immediately turned and her gaze landed on Lu Yeming’s flawlessly handsome face.
The man in question stood in the middle of the lamp-lit hall, his tall, erect body emitting a golden glow. The people surrounding him all looked like his inferiors, while he stood high above everyone else.
In front of the entire crowd, he slowly reached out one hand toward her.
Qingqing, come here and be my Empress.

He was asking her to be his Empress.
The crowd gasped once again and Jun Xiqing’s sparkling eyes widened.
As Lu Yeming looked at her, his deep almond-shaped eyes seemed to be glowing with warmth and affection.
My dreams over the past few days… they have all been about you. No one else will ever be in dreams again.

In one’s lifetime, one might meet two persons. One who can only be adored from afar, and one who will be held close to the heart. The one who can only be adored from afar represents a lifetime of longing. The one held close to the heart represents …eternal love.

Was this his love confession?
Jun Xiqing knew no one could ever replace his Sister Mo’er. It was a love borne out of youthful fancies and desires that would always remain unfulfilled. But all these didn’t matter anymore.
He had already let it go.
Sister Mo’er would no longer appear in his dreams.
Now she was the one who was closest to his heart.
The rim of Jun Xiqing’s eyes turned red. She had never been the type of girl to blow hot and cold with a guy. She liked him.
Step by step, she walked over to his side.
Lu Yeming looked into her sparkling eyes. He reached out his hand and held her little face.
He kissed her on the forehead.
The scene made the crowd teary-eyed with emotion. They never expected to be able to witness the great Lu Yeming getting together with Jun Xiqing.

Get together! Get together!

Everyone started chanting.
Lu Yeming held her soft hand and took off the diamond ring on her middle finger.
The ring had been placed on the wrong finger.
Jun Xiqing smiled. The sweetness in her heart spread to her lips. So very very sweet.
Yes, she had decided to be his Empress.
She had decided to be with him.
This was her choice, and she would not turn back.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a sharp pain.
Her face was so painful.
A voice echoed in her mind: Kill Lu Yeming! Kill him now!
Jun Xiqing couldn’t resist stroking her little face. She wanted to hug her own head. So painful, so very painful. Who was speaking?
Who the hell was speaking?
Kill Lu Yeming!

Kill him now!

Kill him and your pain will stop!

If you don’t kill him, you will forever endure this pain!

Kill him!

In an instant, Jun Xiqing’s eyes went blank. Dead and lifeless like an empty puppet. The intense pain was enough to make anyone lose their senses. The voice in her head continued to harass her like a relentless drum against her head and she forced her gaze up towards Lu Yeming.
A murderous intent spread through her.
She bit down on the tip of her tongue with her own teeth. The sweet, metallic taste of blood permeated her mouth. She broke out in cold sweat. Her floaty white dress was already half-drenched when she suddenly snapped out of her trance.
Finally, the voice in her head had disappeared. Somehow, her face and head were no longer in pain.
Face completely pale, Jun Xiqing shifted her gaze, and she slowly withdrew her hand from his. Her sudden movement left Lu Yeming stunned. He lifted his gaze and looked at her.
