《Sweetheart V5: The Boss Is Too Kind By Hua Er Bao》 Chapter 1 - 1 Still Alive FIRST MILITARY DISTRICT HOSPITAL, S CITY In a large military hospital, on the third floor, the outer three floors were all guarded. A land rover approached the hospital''s gate and stopped with a fierce slamming of brakes. The guards of the hospital, as well as the attending doctor and the department head, all rushed out from inside and stood lined along the gates. Quickly, the driver came out to the rear seat and opened the door. All of the lined people got into an attention position and saluted the person who came out of the car. Lu Ming was the son of their head, their former colonel, and now a president of the S-city. With his father being at such a position, Lu Ming was treated no less than a prince. He walked to the door of the hospital, while pulling his bow tie making people feel breathless. Ignoring everyone, Lu Ming went inside and stopped, the hand holding the bow tie paused. It seems that this time the dean is also, and the subconscious slowly looks back. "She woke up?" he asked "Yes! Mr. Lu!" the doctor in front of him bowed respectfully, Lu Ming continued to walk as he said to his assistant Li Wei who was behind him, "Give me the documents!" "Yes!" walking on her 8 cm high heels, the professional dress wrapped around her hips, Li Wei quickly turned back and brought the documents from the car. Lu Ming took the documents, quickly, showing clear urgency in his actions and proceeded further toward the VIP ward. Jing Yi slowly opened her eyes, pure white ceiling gradually blurred to the clarity, her eyelashes shook a little... What is this? Where is she? Why is there a peculiar ceiling above her?! As several questions invaded her mind, Jingyi people slowly moved her eyes to look around. It was a white room, a few women wearing pure white mourning clothes stood infront of her, some holding bottles and cans on their hands, while some of their hands were empty. Is she really dead? But how can someone still feel when you die? It''s white and bright, Is she up to heaven...? The hell is definitely dark... It seemed like the God was kind enough to her. Her mind went back inside of her memories, to the time when her favorite emperor, her uncle has given her a cup of poison. It was a blow to her pride. Just as she recalled her past, she suddenly had a stinging pain in her hand, and her arm instinctively shook back. Jingyi saw a woman in the mourning dress, putting a needle thicker than the embroidery needle into the back of her hand! It seemed that it was not enough to go deep and still the needle was pushed hard. The pain stung and she slammed back the woman in white. "You bold wench! You dare harm the princess! Do you not want to live?" how could a princess have such a treatment from mere peasants? "..." The nurse who was suddenly pushed away was shocked: "Miss Jing! You...wake up!" Jingyi ignored the words of this mourning woman, her attention was taken by her own pair of hands. She recalled the as beautiful but her fingers weren''t so slender and long like this, her hand was small... At the back of her hand there was still a needle attached having a long tail. Chapter 2 - 2 Uncle With a painful expression, the needle was pulled out, and the next second blood came out flowing like a small water stream. Scared Jingyi shouted, "Ah! i am bleeding violently!" At the same time, the nurses in the room were shocked! How can anyone do such a stupid thing! The nurse who had just been pushed at the bedside was busy taking a cotton ball and holding Jingyi''s hand as she secured the wound. "Miss Ying! You have been in a coma for 7 days, you have to take a nutrition needle! but since you are awake now, what would you like to eat?" Jingyi glared aim at the woman who was inserting needles inside her moments ago. Eat something? Was it another way to poison her now?! Earlier she had thought that she had ascended to the heaven, but the pain she felt just now was the proof that she is still alive. And hence there was no way she was allowing anyone to poison her again! She stood emitting an air of royal arrogance and looked straight into the nurse''s eyes as she spoke, "The princess is not hungry" Her stomach protested that vary instant. The nurses: "..." Since Miss. Jingyin''s suicide attempt was failed was she now trying to starve herself? At the same time the door was ruthlessly pushed open. The nurses stepped away from the way and quickly bowed. "Mr. Lu!" Lu Ming strode to the bedside and shoved the papers in front of Jingyi. "Sign it!" When she saw him, Jingyi nervously held her breath. The room was filled with fresh air but suddenly it felt as if she was robbed of the air. An air of familiarity surrounded him. And she looked at him with fear When he threw the stack of papers in front of her, Jingyi''s small trembling body jerked back fiercely and she subconsciously shrunk back. The former arrogance of hers disappeared all of sudden. Why did the emperor came? Was it to finish the job the poison failed to do? And what does he meant by sign...? There were countless questions inside Jingyi''s mind. Even though the hairstyle and the was different and the clothes were strange, he carries the same wind of that cold king. After being momentarily stunned, her eyes slowly fell on the stack of papers and she saw big characters on the cover. Divorse agreement...? Although this text was simplified and not like the handwriting of the emperor, she still knews it. The next thing was to pick up the paper and turn over a few papers. When she saw her name Jingyi from time to time in the middle, her face was stiff and suddenly puzzled. As far as memory serves right... She wasn''t married to Uncle... Looking up, she said. "Uncle I am not even betrothed, how am I married already...?" Lu Ming''s face turned dark because of her ''Uncle'', while on the contrary Li Weizu behind him couldn''t help but laugh. The nurse on the side was quick to explain as she sensed the sudden chill in the atmosphere. "Mr. Lu! Miss Jing just woke up she is probably still in daze!" "..." Does that have anything to do with calling him uncle all of sudden. "Jing Yi" Lu Ming looked darkly into her eyes as he spoke, "I don''t care if you are cutting your wrists, or if you are crazy and stupid, you have to leave" The way he spoke, Jingyi felt shivers already. Chapter 3 - 3 The Director Jingyi was most afraid when the emperor was angry. Every time she had done something, she would be punished and left to stay hungry, if she didn''t worked well in something, she would be grounded in her bed-chamber. Her eyes trembled as grief and fear filled inside of them, biting her lips she tried hard to keep the tears from falling. Lu Ming was disgusted and annoyed at the same time by this sudden act to avoid the divorce again. He had it enough and couldn''t endure anymore. He pulled Jingyi from her wrist and dragged her from the bed as her feet stumbled and staggered. Uncle.... The princess of once a royal family was treated in such a manner, her tears couldn''t hol on for any longer and streamed down her face. "It hurts, Uncle! Could you let me go?!" "I am not your Uncle!" he glared at her and she swallowed back her protests, Lu Ming dragged her at a very fast speed. Jingyi being unable to keep pace ended up falling several times. Until there was a old man in mourning dress, Lu Ming stopped and released Jingyi''s wrist. The moment his hand left hers, her feet gave up and she fell on the ground. Li Wei, who had followed Lu Ming all the way, glanced at the Jingyi with a look of disdain. This woman was stubborn. In order to escape the divorce, she cried and clashed. As if the incidents she caused weren''t enough, she even slit her wrists to attempt suicide! And now she was even pretending to be crazy! No matter how beautiful Jingyi was, Li Wei that Lu Ming would never want a foolish idiot like her with a bad reputation to ever be his wife. This marriage was fated to be divorced! Seeing how furious Lu Ming have become, Li Wei went behind him and whispered. "Chairman Lu, since the director is here, how about we let him give a full-body examination to Miss Jing? We''ll know if she has really gone stupid or if she only faking it" Standing in front of Lu Ming, the director helped Jingyi up. "Miss Jing, you should be resting!" Jing Yi looked at the old man in front of her who looked like a kind-hearted gentle man. With moist eyes she looked at the director. "Grandfather! I hope you will tell uncle to not get angry with the princess!" The director, "..." Lu Ming, "..." The dean clenched his fist as he choked on his own saliva and coughed. The 55-year-old man knew the past of Jingyi and couldn''t even imagine having such a granddaughter! He looked at Lu Ming: "Mr. Lu, I will then proceed for the check up" Lu Ming''s irritated cold eyes glanced at Jingyi. Jingyi saw the disgust in the eyes of Lu Ming, and it felt like a big blow to her heart as it sunk deeper and deeper inside of her. She survived the poison, if the emperor rejects her again...would she be able to see the next sun? "Miss Jing, Please come with me." The director led the way. Jingyi people silently followed the old man, and didn''t dare to look back at the emperor. As Lu Ming watched Jingyi leave, his cold eyes blinked. His body froze and he stood still. Chapter 4 - 4 Brothel? Li Wei looked at Lu Ming''s perfect and handsome face, indifferent, lazy, he always looked so expressionless, but it still made her so fascinated. Since he married the Jingyi, Lu has never been in a good mood, and often even showed some signs of sorrows and annoyance. After a certain distance, Jingyi turned back several times to make sure sure she was far away from the emperor. "Grandfather...!" "Please call me Director." the director replied, "Mr. Director! Where are we going now?" "To give you a full body check-up, Miss. Jing" "..." Check-up? What does that even mean? "Where is this place?" "Military District Hospital?*" "Hospital..?" Jingyi people slowly repeat the words of the director in her head, and she came to a realisation As tears sparkled in her eyes, her mouth trembled. Heaven! Earth! What did she do? It was such a brutal fate, how come she fell into the shackles of a brothel?! No wonder she was wearing such a thin dress just like some prisoner! Her feet were also lacking shoes... She would die rather than feel this humiliation, a princess can never ever surrender herself to a disgraceful life likt that! The director who was leading the way noticed how the footsteps were no longer following, he stopped and looked back. He saw her standing frozen as tears rolled down her cheeks, her face was filled with grief as if she had suffered an ultimate loss, her desperate sad eyes looked outside the window holding a look that cleared her intentions. The director was scared by her actions, as she stepped forward. He was so scared that beads of sweats trickled down his face. He was old, fat, and slow to move but he still managed to stop her by launching himself in the way. Though it cost him a direct hit from Jingyi and a pain that shot across his back. "Move aside! Rather than being disgraced and humiliated in this brothel, the princess would die while still maintaining her purity!" "..." The director was shocked by her words, It was just a physical checkup, why was she acting like she was forced into prostitution! Chairman Lu, your wife is insane! The director held his back with one hand and using the wall as a support he stood up. "Princess, no one is trying to force you into anything! Now, do you want to live or not?" "Of course I want to live!" Jingyi replied sobbing, The director struggled and continued to move forward. "Since you want to live, follow me please" The director clenched his teeth and chewed back his words, with such actions this woman will not only harm herself but also tarnish the hotel''s reputation! Jing Yi wiped the tears on her face, "Can the director have a high opinion?" "Miss Jing please don''t talk nonsense! Follow me!" The director walked with his waist and really didn''t want to say more to this woman. When the director told a professional doctor to do a physical examination for Jingyi, he went for a checkup for his own waist as well. Chapter 5 - 5 Young Girl Becomes Young Woman From time to time, there were people passing by the corridor in front of the medical examination room. There were loud screams followed by the sound of someone being slapped. Curious people stayed in the corridor and tried to peek inside the glass window but failed. When Jingyi came out, there was a red bruise on the face of the doctor behind her. Lu Ming was inside the VIP ward as he stared at the tablet in his hand and waited for the results. After waiting for more than an hour, the result that came was totally unexpected. The director handed the medical examination report to Lu Ming, and said at the same time: "Chairman Lu, Miss Jing''s physical condition has no problem!" Lu Ming lifted his eyes and looked at the documents handed over by the director. But he was too lazy to look any further and resumed his work. He had already expected such an answer. "She just wants to pretend being silly" "That''s not it" The director immediately replied, "Chairman Lu, Although Miss Jing has no problem with her body, she has an IQ of 80, even a ten year old has better IQ than that" "... " When the words are heard, Lu Ming''s hand paused and a puzzled look crossed his face. He had never heard of such a thing happening by cutting wrists. The director continued to explain: "Probably the excessive blood loss and the brain''s lack of oxygen for too long, caused a negative impact on Miss Jing''s IQ..." The director''s voice faded as the woman standing behind Lu Ming sofa stepped forward and whispered to his ear. "Chairman Lu, If Miss Jing has an unexpected mental retardation, the court will dismiss your divorce appeal on the grounds of discrimination!" Lu Ming eyes became darker. Until Jing Yiren becomes normal, the divorce can''t go through. Lu Ming came back at ten o''clock in the night, by then the servants were already gone. He got off the car and went inside the house. Only the housekeeper is greeted him at the door as he took the blazer from Lu Ming and followed him inside. When Jingyi got out of the horse-drawn carriage without horses, she looked at the big courtyard like a temple, though it didn''t surprised her as much as the road they had just drove upon. That road was filled with different sorts of iron carriages, and the house in front of her was as tall as the sky. Although Lu Ming''s house was exquisite and gorgeous, it was big but not dignified enough. Compared to her uncle''s palace, it was still very lacking. During the whole car journey, she was thinking about it. Her body was not hers and even though she had survived, she has come to this unknown country somehow with someone else''s identity. She had no idea how far she was from her homeland, and how she can go back. The appearance of this body is slightly different from her own, but it held the same beauty as hers. And the person she thought to be her uncle was actually husband of this body. What made the situation worse was the fact that the body belonged to an adult woman, while she was only fourteen years old. It was the age where her adolescence was beginning, she has not experienced the feelings of a girl.. She was only a shy teenager who had to encounter the angry man with whom she is already married. Chapter 6 - 6 Elegant Princess Fortunately, this body was not too old, looking at the shape it was probably 18 or 19 years old. She wondered if the owner of the body has children? If there was a child... well, she was a child herself, how will she take care of child? The driver came out from the car and saw Jingyi people standing in front of the car in a daze. He stepped and requested. "Miss Jing, You should enter the house." Jingyi regained her arrogant look, glanced at the driver, and intwined her hand within his, "Let''s go!" "..." The driver was speechless. He did not refuse, and carried the princess inside like a eunuch. The furniture inside was exquisite and gorgeous. Jingyi recognize all the foreign furniture by a glance. In the past, there were also one or two western goods in her yard as well. The foreign goods were a rare thing, She did not expected that there will be so much of them here. It seemed like the owner is quite rich. Jingyi entered inside and walked above the stairs, there was someone. His hair were blonde just like some westerner. So the owner was really rich...? Wu Guanjia is a 40 years old butler, with a tuxedo suit, a pocket watch on his chest, and blond hairs. His expressionless expression were same as his master, along with the pride look he held Walking down the stairs, he confronted Jingyi, "Miss Jing. Welcome back!" She didn''t liked his indifferent attitude toward the princess she was. Jingyi people raised her chin, and looked more proud and aristocratic than. She gave him a cold look and walked elegantly toward the sofa before gracefully sitting down. The driver was relieved as Jingyi let go of his arm, "Miss Jing. I would be going to work first!" Without waiting for Jingyi to agree, the driver turned and left. "..." Jingyi found this person too rude, she was a princess and he didn''t even wait for her to reply. Wu Guanjia, looking at the elegant sitting posture of Jingyi people, and subconsciously raised an eyebrow. According to his knowledge, Miss Jing is the illegitimate daughter of Jingjia. She has grown up in the countryside since she was a child, she never had any sense of grace... Her dressing style was always inappropriate. He thought back to the time when Miss Jing had made an explosive scene, wearing a short nightdress, the feet rested on the coffee table, even her bottom were visible. While watching TV, she would spit the melon seeds on the sofa, and the servants everywhere have to clean it again. She had even asked the temporary repairman to give her a massage! The servants at home would be watching her with a look of embarrassment and shame! He was reminded of several times when Miss Jing was cheeky and disapproved. Similar to those insane things, there is no such thing happening right now. This kind of change was hard to comprehend. Miss Jing had done too much, when she was photographed by the media while stripping in a private bar room. Chapter 7 - 7 Hungry In The Palace It was that night Lu Ming''s wife Jing Yi''s reputation was tarnished and the Lu stocks suffered gradual loss. Mr. Lu naturally wanted to divorce. But Miss Jingyi threw a tantrum and even threatened to suicide. Jingyi sat on the sofa and looked around the room before looking at the housekeeper. "What is your name?" "..." Wu Guanjia also stared at her coldly. What did she said...? "Miss Jing, my name is Wu Hao." " Little Wu Zi! This princess is hungry! Prepare some meals, It''s late so make something simple" "..." Wu Guanjia looked a at her unexpectedly. He was a housekeeper, not a cook, not a servant. But since the cooks and servants were off work, he can''t use them. Placing his complains aside, Wu Guanjia politely asked, "What do you want to eat, Miss Jing?" Jingyi thought for a second. "An abalone pearl, shark chicken sauce, goose palm, and mussel shrimp soup. That''s all for simple meal" "..." Was this simple? If he remembers it correctly, these all were the classic dishes of some imperial feast. A common cook can''t even prepare them! Miss Jing''s stomach was really ambitious. The cook can''t even do it, let alone a housekeeper! Wu coldly pointed at the direction of the kitchen, "Miss Jing kitchen is that way with the refrigerator, there is probably some frozen food, or something convenient, you can figure it out yourself. The cook had got off work!!" With that said Wu housekeeper turned and left. "..." Jing Yi was at loss of words, although people do not know her here, she had said she was a princess how some everyone here has such rude attitudes?! Her stomach was hungry, hence she decided to find food herself. Lu Ming took a shower in the upstairs, his sculpted body, with 187 height, honey skin, and eight abdominal muscles, all of it screamed besutiful! His powerful arm dried his wet hair and he threw the towel aside. His body, all of his features highlighted the man''s sexy, perfect, masculine, strong king''s atmosphere. He was going to sleep, just as he laid on the bed, he heard the faint sound coming from down downstairs. His eyes were too heavy and he was too lazy to wake up. The servants can handle it tommorow, thinking that Lu Ming turned to sleep. He hadn''t been in bed for 2 minutes, when loud band caused his eyes to snap open. Was someone trying to demolish the house?! Then there was sound of shattering, he assumed it was his and what just broke was not a bottle but piles of vine bottles. Lu Ming could no longer bear it. He threw away his quilt and got out of bed with a dark face. Without bothering with clothes he strode downstairs with only a towel hanging around his waist. He saw the wine rack behind the bar ruined and fallen to the ground. The bottles of wine inside were crushed. The ground was stained with red and yellow color alternately flowing to the living room everywhere! Lu Ming''s face couldn''t be more darker, however fortunately, the offender was still holding a bottle of his most precious bottle of wine unharmed. Chapter 8 - 8 Dont Look! Jing Yi looked at Lu Ming with scared eyes and then responded with a loud cry. Her screams pierced the eardrums of the house. Lu Ming getting irritated by the screams shouted at her. "What the heck are you doing?!" Jing Yi covered her eyes with one hand, holding the bottle of wine with other, "You''re naked! Hurry up and put some clothes!" Lu Ming looked down at the towel wrapped around his abdomen. He wasn''t wearing pants. But since when did this woman turned so...shy? "Jing Yi! I have no time to play with you here! The house was cleaned a few hours ago, and you''ve already done this much!" said Lu Ming as he looked at the mess. Jingyi parted her fingers and looked at him with an eye and spoke innocently, "These were all rotten wine, useless to use! Only this bottle is better..." she raised the wine bottle. Hearing her, Lu Ming''s eyes darkened and became colder. Rotten wine? Even if it was rotten wine, he paid for it! Why she has to go berserk on them? "Who allowed you to move my things?!" he asked, Jingyi flinched at the sharpness in his voice and stepped back subconsciously. "Answer me!" Lu Ming''s voice became harsher and carried hints of threat, Frightened, Jingyi''s small shoulders shook and the last remaining bottle of wine fell from her hands before she caught it in time. She knew that this man was not her emperor, but he carried the same cold aura as her uncle. That domineering gaze, the chilling momentum, even though she was a proud princess she couldn''t help but shrink in fear, whenever she sees him. "Uncle... I...I only want to get this bottle of wine... but that shelf was the same as made by tofu!" Lu Ming: "..." His mahogany wine rack made from tofu? He could still remember the time it was bought, four strong men were needed to bring it inside. "Beep toot..." Just as Lu Ming was clenching his fists, there was an alarm in the kitchen. Lu Ming subconsciously crossed the rotten stall in front of him and strode into the kitchen. He saw that the kitchen was in complete annihilation. The vegetable, milk, cakes, and meat were scattered all over the floor and the refrigerator and the stuff inside of the refrigerator were smashed and broken. Lu Ming slammed the refrigerator door and the closet doors one by one, and the alarm sound suddenly stopped. Jingyi stood in front of the kitchen with the wine, and suddenly realized that she was looking at Lu Min. Lu Ming covered the distance between him and her with two long strides, grabbing the wine from her arms and putting it on the shelf next to her before he pulled her wrists and dragged her behind him. At the same time, he shouted at butler who was fallen asleep by then. "Wu Bo! Get the kitchen cleaned up!" Lu Ming''s movements were a little fierce, causing Jingyi to stumble several times. Back inside the room, Lu Ming took the Jingyi into the bathroom and released her wrist. "Come out after you''ve cleaned yourself up!" Jingyi, who was thrown into the bathroom, did not respond to what Lu Ming had said to her but felt soreness on her lower abdomen, her hands suddenly bent over the waist. With an uncomfortable look, she held her legs and tightly together. She was reminded of the water she had drunk. Chapter 9 - 9 Dog Climbing Wall "Uncle... I want to come out..." Lu Ming didn''t understand what she was talking about, and he was too lazy to try to understand. After pushing her inside he had already closed the door, but she couldn''t be as dumb as to forgot how to open it, right...? Jing Yi gave a polite knock on the door, "Uncle, I can''t hold it anymore..." Lu Ming knew what she meant but he was in no mood to play crazy with her. He walked toward the bed and laid as he picked his tablet and searched about possible cures for mental retardation. Jingyi continued to knock on the door, "Uncle! Let me come out! I can''t help it! Uncle... " Damn! She must have too much of water downstairs! Lu Ming was done and said coldly: "Aren''t you already in the bathroom? " "Where is the toilet?!" "..." "Uncle, Open the door! Do you really want me to spoil your beautiful floor?" Lu Ming''s hand shook on the tablet he was holding, a blue vein twitched on his forehead. Throwing the tablet aside, he quickly got out of bed and turned the door of the bathroom door immediately open. Stepping inside he twisted the knob and explained with clenched teeth. "Door open, Door close" Pointing at the toilet in the bathroom, he said "Toilet" As Jingyi held on her lower abdomen, she looked brightly at the toilet. "Toilet? That must be lavatory, right?!" she pointed at the bathtub next to them, "Then this must be tub used for bathing?!" "..." Lu Ming had the urge to smack his head on the wall but remained calm and composed. Thankfully, Jingyi became a bit smarter Her expressions looked at him triumphantly. And in the next moment, she was pushing him outside the bathroom and closing the door. "You are not allowed to see!" "..." Lu Ming took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He had never been as angry as he was today. Even when Jingyi had caused that scene and his stocks suffered gradual loos, he hadn''t been as angry as he was now. This silly Jingyi easily touched his nerves and caused turmoil to his emotions. Lu Ming controlled himself and went back to bed to continue reading the information. He didn''t hear any sound come from the toilet, but then the sound of the water flushing made his mood slightly relieved. It seemed that she was sane enough to remember how to use the flush. Just as Lu Ming finished that thought, he heard the sound of the water in the bathroom, going on and off, followed by the vibration of electric toothbrushes and razors, as well as the sound of the bottle and cans falling down. He couldn''t help but crease his eyebrows. Lu Ming was too lazy to keep checking on her and continued to read. But he couldn''t find any cure for her state, though he still has doubts about whether she was faking it or not. He lifted his eyes and glanced at the frosted glass door of the bathroom which revealed the warm light, and a figure swaying here and there. Lu Ming browsed through some more articles and an hour passed. Jingyi has still not come out from the bathroom. Lu Ming was bothered by it and helplessly sighed. P lacing the tablet down, he got from the bed. His feet stopped on the carpet, there was something wet, cold and sticky. For a moment, Lu Ming''s face was as dark as the bottom of a pit, his bare feet stepped onto the water and he entered inside the bathroom, twisting the door open. The bathroom door was twisted open, and Lu Ming saw Jingyi crawling out of the bathtub with her body covered in foam. Her posture was the same as some dog climbing the wall. The body was on the edge of the bathtub. One foot has already stepped out. The sound of the door opening made her body froze. Chapter 10 - 10 Sleeping Obediently Jingyi''s cute face blushed red from the steam looked up and she met Lu Ming cold dark eyes. He was standing by the door after a silent moment passed between them, a loud scream followed. Lu Ming''s eardrums were stimulated again for the second time. He coldly looked at the toothbrush and razor floating on the water that covered the floor. The bottles of soap, shampoo, and shower gel float were floating as well. With a heavy face and eyes that looked violent, he asked "Would you like to flood our home?" Jing Yi was scared and shook as she tried to find her clothes but before she can even leave the bathtub she fell inside once again. The place was too slippery, she climbed up several times and fell into the water. Like a frightened deer on the edge of the bathtub, she didn''t dare to move anymore. Her body was already seen, her face flushed in red. She was only curious, there were several things in this bathroom she had never seen before! That water-discharging thing could pour out both hot and cold water. And who knew the water would be filled up so quickly and there would be no sound the water outlet was opened? And those jars and bottles? The contents inside of those bottles and jars were as sweet and soft as milk. She couldn''t help but lick it, but the taste was not good at all! When she accidentally fell into the water, she got a lot of bubbles. She was so happy playing with them that she forgot about the running faucet. Lu Ming stepped inside the bathroom, his feet creating a small splash sound as he walked onto the water. He turned off the faucet, and then took the nozzle to clean her body. "It''s so cold... !" Jingyi was so cold that she shuddered and her face further flushed in a shade of crimson. She was actually seen by this man. Lu Ming pulled off the towel next to her and picked her up as he wrapped her body inside, securing the towel, he tossed her on the bed. Pointing at her nose he warned, "Jing Yi, if you dare cause any more trouble for me, you can get lost from this house!" Jing Yi shrunk back into the quilt and immediately nodded. She would not dare provoke him ever again! Lu Ming turned away and left the room after slamming the door shut. Jingyi was alone in the room. Her eyes felt heavy. From the edge of the bed, she turned and blew out the bedside lamp to sleep, but that damn bedside lamp continued to burn. She tried it again and again until she was left panting Taking an irritated sigh, Jingyi grabbed the lamp and slammed it against the wall, the broken remains fell with a clacking sound, the light was gone. Finally, she was able to sleep. When she woke up, the sky was already bright, and the flooded room was cleaned up. She thought a lot last night and decided to talk to Uncle today. After all, she was stunned and shamed by that man last night. Shouldn''t she go to him and let him be responsible? But she was his wife now, how would he be responsible? But she was only 14 years old, except her emperor she had never even held hands with any other man! Her thoughts were entangled as she buried her face inside the pillow. Just then the door of her room opened and a woman entered inside. Chapter 11 - 11 Teaching The Princess "Good morning, Miss Jing." The maid at the door bowed a little. "Master ordered me to help you get out of the bed" Help her to get up? It seemed like this husband was not too bad to her, he even sends her a lady-in-waiting... Jingyi nodded softly at the maid and smiled pleasantly. The maid looked a little dazed. She had heard that Miss Jing is the most beautiful beauty in S City. Her smile was capable of charming both men and woman, and she looked like a fairy out of some fairy tail. But her beauty was useless now, Miss Jing''s reputation has long been notorious in the S City. The maid went toward the wardrobe to take out the inner-clothes and long dress from the closet, ready to give the clothes Jingyi. Jing Yiren, looked at the two clothes on the edge of her bed, picked up a small garment and asked: "What is this dress?" "..." The maid whispered, "Miss Jing! This is a bra...!" The maid removed the blanket covering Jingyi revealing her two plump white rabbits. "Ah-!" Jingyi was shocked and covered herself with both hands! "Wench! You dare to be so rude to this princess!" The maid looked at Jingyi with a look of fright. She had heard from other maids that Miss Jing''s brain had a problem. Mr. Lu asked her to teach Miss Jing to get up and do what she had to do. But this... With a low nervous laugh, the maid explained: "Miss Jing, This piece of clothing is used to hold chest" "..." hold...chest, but that thing looked really ugly! Jingyi had noticed that now her breasts were so big! It took her a while to accept the truth, she still remembered that her chest was as flat as a boy. Yesterday, she was in shock and didn''t notice how revealing the clothes in this country were. But now she realized how indecent all of it was! even the underwear was so tiny! She recalled wearing the brothel clothes another day, they were so thin as well... The maid took her to the bathroom, she picked up a toothbrush applied toothpaste and handed it to Jingyi. Then Jingyi was taught how to brush her teeth, after that, the maid taught her how to use the tap, which towel is to wash the face, which is for the bath, which is the shower gel, which is the shampoo, which is the facial cleanser, lotion... The maid said a lot, and Jingyi couldn''t help but feel a little dizzy. "Why do I have to remember everything, what purpose is to keep you around then?" she glared at the maid, "..." the maid was speechless, "Sorry! Miss Jing!" Jingyi glanced at the maid. Seeing her indifferent look, she reminded: "The princess''s face is yet to be washed!" "..." The maid guessed that Miss Jing''s madness must have emerged by seeing some period drama. What was with that ''Princess'' thing? The maid wringed the towel in the washbasin and prepared to hand it to Jingyi, she slowly closed her eyes. The maid was at a loss of words once again, did Miss. Jing wants her to clean her face? The maid glanced at Jingyi coldly and used the towel to wipe her face. The strength was a little harsher, and Jingyi''s skin was tender compared to that, her cheeks felt pain but she didn''t say anything. The maid was probably new and did not understand it. After being washed, Jingyi said: "You were a little harsher, be gentle next time" Chapter 12 - 12 After that Jingyi turned and left the room. The maid looked at Jingyi''s disappearing shadow with a look of disgust as she repeated her words inside her mind. What gave Jingyi the right to act so arrogantly and put on such aristocratic airs? She was just a fool who could be cast aside at any time. The servants were hired to work, but even they had no desire to endure this madwoman. No one in the whole mansion was fond of Jingyi, not to mention that she had lost some of her screws now. Jingyi was wearing a piece of a gray dress with a long skirt that reached down to her ankles. Wearing a pair of cotton slippers she headed downstairs. In the living room, Lu Ming was already sitting beside the dining table. The foreigner from yesterday named, Wu Hao was standing beside him as he spoke. As Jingyi crossed each stair slowly, she heard the old man saying: "...The mahogany wine rack two hundred thousand, Royal Salute, Raphael, Domaine De La, Ramnee-Conti, Chateau... a total of fifty-two bottles of alcohol. The total price is 1.3 Million Yuan. We only have Domaine Leroy remaining " "There are fleece carpets, floor maintenance fees, and temporary workers'' expenses, the total is 1.55 Million" Jingyi walked toward Lu Ming''s table and Wu stepped aside to give her a seat. The maid, who was behind her, reported to Lu Ming in a soft voice: "Mr. Lu! The task of teaching Miss Jing about her morning routine is completed!" Lu Ming dismissed the maid with a wave of his hand. Jingyi glanced at the maid, the maid''s attitude towards her and the uncle was relatively different. "Sit down," Lu Ming told her, in his calm cold voice that carried hints of dominance. Jingyi pulled a chair for herself and sat down, she had to talk with the uncle and tell him that she is not his wife. But just as she was about to speak, uncle pushed a small plate with white round things. "Take these"Jing Yi looked at Lu Ming with inquiring eyes. "What is this?" "Pharmaceutical" "..." Medicine? When she heard that word, she immediately felt a heavy feeling on her chest and she was reminded of that night once again. Does he want to poison her as well? Is that how much he hates her...? She swallowed hard and decided not to eat. There were still some things that were needed to be said. Pushing the plate away, Jingyi decided to speak but hesitated when met with Lu Ming''s cold gaze. "Unc--Lu--Lu Ming!" she said, "I want to tell you something!" "Speak" Lu Ming said the word and picked a spoon as he continued to eat, "I... I am not your wife! Your wife Jing Yi is already dead when she committed suicide. I am a princess of a different country..." "Jing Yiren!!" Jingyi had somehow summoned the courage to say all that in a single breath, she wasn''t finished yet but when Lu Ming suddenly slammed his hand on the table, the scared shoulders of Jingyi started to shake. "Enough!" Lu Ming said coldly with annoyance, the atmosphere in the living dropped down to several degrees, Wu Bo and the maids flinched all together. Jing Yi stared at Lu Ming with panicked wide eyes, why did he got so infuriated all of sudden? She hadn''t said anything wrong, right? Chapter 13 - 13 Poison The Princess? "Jing Yi! It''s been only one night since your arrival and you''ve already cost me 1.55 million! I am not asking you to pay the sum, but here you are pretending to be crazy and gain my sympathy!" "..." Lu Ming suddenly stood up and pulled her chin with a harsh movement, "You don''t want the divorce, is that it?" he bitterly asked, his emotionless cold eyes sent chills down her body, "I am telling you this, even if you stripped naked and lay on my bed, I will never accept you. The marriage is over!" Lu Ming released her chin and told the servants, "Keep a watch on her, don''t let her go out and create any scene!" Lu Ming has never touched Jingyi since marriage, not only because this marriage was a commercial marriage. But also because of her irritable behavior and habits, he discovered afterwards. Besides a beautiful face Jingyi has no good quality or basic etiquette. Before marriage, he had even once thought about their wedding night, after the marriage he realized he was fooled by that innocent and beautiful face. He was a man of pure soul, he could never touch any woman whom he doesn''t love, his feelings for a woman with such a low character shouldn''t be a surprise. If it was not for her family to use despicable means, there will be no such marriage. Jing Yi looked at his departing back it looked lonely and reminded her of her Uncle. But she couldn''t understand why he looked lonely, her uncle was burdened by the matters of the kingdom but this Lu Ming...? Her uncle went to work and she soon finished her breakfast, just then the butler spoke. "Miss Jing, since you still have to recover the master has told you to take a long vacation from school" "What is a school?" Jing Yi asked, "..." Wu Bo did not know how to answer her! But next to the table, the maid who had helped Jingyi wake up heard the two of them and whispered in Wu Bo''s side: "You must speak in an ancient language with the princess!" The maid spoke giggling. Wu Bo heaved a sigh and explained, "Miss Jing, School is a place to gain knowledge" Jingyi coldly glared at the sneering maid. She pushed the chair away as she stood up, "Princess doesn''t need to study anything! The four-books of arts, the four great books and five classics, piano chess, and calligraphy, which one of them do I not know? "At the age of eight I had a poetry competition with the nation''s number one scholar, at nine, my painting ''moon of a thousand years'' became renowned, when ten years old I beat Changzhou''s first place champion in Chinese chess. I accompanied the uncle to the battlefield at the age of twelve, after I played a heavenly song, the enemy troops ceased fighting and were defeated!" These were the great achievements, Jingyi was proud of. It was because of this that her uncle, Huangfu has a preference for her. It was because of that after mother died and she was left alone, he took her under his care. She did everything she could to help him protect the country and make it more prosperous. But then it began, she couldn''t remember when but people have started calling her witch who spreads calamity. She was not allowed a peaceful death but has to suffer until the poison robbed her of her last breath... After Jingyi has finished speaking, the jaws of the maids, as well as the butler, were dropped down. Wu Bo who was momentarily stunned regained himself first and said, "Miss Jing, you should take medicine" "This princess is not sick! why eat medicine?" Wu Bo persuaded, "Miss Jing, the medicine is given by the director himself, it is good for your body!" "Do you want to poison the princess?" Chapter 14 - 14 Send To Brothel When Sick? "Do you want to poison the princess?" "..." Wu Bo was speechless, how can it be so difficult to communicate with her! Jingyi was too lazy to pay attention to him. Although she has been ignorant of the servants she wasn''t stupid. She had noticed how they make fun of her and laugh behind her back and even look down on her. The was they saw her, their eyes always carried hints of disgust. Was she that annoying? She used to be a scholar back in the kingdom, they praised her and also respected her but even then there were always some people who wished ill upon her. Although her character was tougher, she was always treating everyone better if they were good to her and simply ignored if that wasn''t the case. Jingyi ignored the servant and sat on sofa lazily. She felt something hard and stiff below and before she can stand up and look at what it was. The big black mirror hanging on the wall in front of her suddenly flashed. There was a bloody face, a military commander in armor, and a machete in his hand. He charged. Her first reaction was to quickly stand up and slam the offender down, but she could raise him the mirror was attached to the wall. Damn it! She couldn''t let herself die like this! "Ahhh-!", Jingyi let a battle-cry as her leg swept through the air. Her kick landed on the general''s face. Few sparks came followed by the sound of the magnetic current. This large mirror flashed a few times before getting restored to black before. However, her foot... stuck in! The rest of the people in the room were covered in beads of sweat, their eyes were wide and their mouths at loss of word. The living room was queit for some time with only the sound of current sparkling. "It...It hurts!" her teary eyes mourned as they looked back. Wu Bo regained his senses and quickly rushed to Jingyi''s sine, but did not dare to touch her. "Miss Jing! What happened to you?" Jingyi held her own stuck leg as she stood on one foot and slowly, carefully she pulled the leg out as she jumped on her one feet. Wu Bo wanted to help her but he was stopped by her, "Don''t come closer!" Jing Yi managed to somehow get back on the sofa as the pain continued to throb on her injured leg, she grabbed it tightly and didn''t dare to let go because it was too painful. With utmost caution she slowly rested her leg on the table in front, the pain didn''t lessen a bit. "Miss Jing, your feet needs to be tended, we should go to the hospital!" "..." Hos...pital? Jingyi was particularly sensitive to these two words and didn''t refuse to hesitate: "I am fine! I don''t want to go to the hospital!" She couldn''t allow the outsiders to know of her injury caused by a big black mirror! Her reputation would be destroyed if they found out she was so easily wounded. Jingyi people pointed at the servants and said, "You are not allowed to speak about this to anyone! Bring me a doctor!" Wu Bo hesitated for a second. If a doctor is to come inside the house then it must be approved by Mr.. Lu, so he decided to inform his master. Chapter 15 - 15 Take Medicine The butler went to the landline phone and called Lu Ming. Lu Ming''s office was located on the highest floor of Lu Group building. He puts his hands in his pockets and stands in front of the pale blue glass wall. His eyes lost in thoughts looks straight ahead. He was still thinking about the senseless words Jingyi had told her. How can a person turn into a completely different personality, what mental illness could it be? Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang, but he was too lost in thinking and didn''t noticed until his secretary spoke. "Mr. Lu, your phone is ringing" Lu Ming was back to reality and turned around and walked to his desk to pick up the mobile phone. The call was made from home. He hesitated for a few seconds before receiving it. On the phone, Wu Bo''s voice was heard: "Mr. Lu!" "What?" "Miss Jing was injured. She said she needed a doctor" Lu Ming was silent for two seconds, with an indifferent voice he replied, "Ask Dr. Lirou to come over" "Yes!" Lu Ming hung up the phone and grabbed the coat on the chair as he went outside. Li Wei, who was behind him reminded, "Chairman Lu, we have a meeting!" Lu Ming didn''t stopped as he said one word in his low nonchalant voice, "Reschedule" With that he left. Li Wei stood rooted in her original place her hand fisted tightly. At first she didn''t know who called the phone, but Lu Ming''s sentence, ''Ask Dr. Lirou to come over '' made it clear that the call was from his home. And who else could it be but Jingyi? She still didn''t know about the condition. But the last time Lu Ming received such a call at the major meeting, it was because Jingyi had committed suicide. It was best if that''s the case again and even better if she was already dead. Li Wei thought how a vulgar woman like Jing Yi can ever deserve Lu Ming! If it weren''t for Jing Yi, Li Wei would have already become Lu Ming''s wife! Lu Ming''s car stooped at home next to Dr. Lroui''s car. When she had seen Lu''s car reaching before her, she left preparing the medical box and quickly stepped inside her car as she drove behind him. She had overrun two red lights along the way before she arrived. The chairman was far ahead of her and she had to get their before him! If she didn''t, she knew his rage would be more than she can bear. Lu Ming parked the car, got off and slammed the door, as walked toward the villa door. There were always gardeners, maids, repairers, and cleaner who respectfully bowed saying hello. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw a circle of people surrounding Jingyi who sat on the sofa. Her one foot was resting on the table while a hand of her rested on the arms of the sofa. A maid was holding water, and Wu Bo was holding medicine in his hand: "Miss Jing! You should take the medicine!" "No! I don''t want to!" "Miss Jing! It''s for your good health! I have prepared a pain relief! If you eat the medicine your feet won''t hurt!" "No! No! How can you think you poisoning the princess??!!" "..." Lu Ming swept in the living room, looking at the LCD TV on the wall.. In the middle was a hole even if the screen was covered in crack a faint shape of footprint could be seen. Chapter 16 - 16 Not Going To The Brothel Lu Ming entered and asked coldly, "What happened?" A maid suddenly noticed that he has already come to the house and said, "Mr. Lu!" Wu Bo saw that Mr. Lu has come back and handed over the medicine to Dr. Li Rou as he started explaining, "Miss Jing was misbehaving and accidentally kicked the TV and broke it, her leg hasn''t suffered any external injury but her ligaments are strained" Lu Ming furrows his brows and strides to the sofa. Jingyi looked at him as walked impetuously and came over, her body shrank back in fear and she thought he would hit her for breaking the mirror. Lu Ming''s cold eyes fixated on Jing Yi for a few seconds, and then he spoke with his usual domineering but low voice, "Report" Li Rou was busy checking Jingyi. She stood up and respectfully said, "Mr. Lu, Miss Jing has indeed a ligament strain. This situation can be big or small, there is no way to treat at home, you must go to the hospital to take an x-ray to see if it is serious. A slight rest for two days will be fine, but if serious long term rehabilitation might be needed" After listening to the doctor Lu Ming did not think before saying, "Send her to the hospital!" He had just finished speaking before he could even turn and leave, suddenly he was hugged as the little woman rushed in his arms. "Uncle... I don''t want to go to the hospital... I don''t! I don''t! I don''t!" Jingyi said with her sobbing voice, "..." Lu Ming blinked, his chest jerked, and he looked at the little woman in his arms in shock. Under the shirt, her warm breath touched him, her chest was wet from her tears. The touch of her soft skin sent heat to her lower abdomen. Lu Ming glared coldly at her, "Let go" Jingyi buried herself in his arms, and Lu Ming was so stiff that she was afraid that if she let go, he would send her to the brothel! As she desperately held onto him and her body shook from tears she spoke, "Uncle, I am fine! I don''t want to go to the brothel! I don''t!" "..." Lu Ming looked like at the innocent teary eyes in front of him, The woman has turned in a completely different person. Was this the Jingyi who was vulgar and vain? Something didn''t seem right, the Jing Yi he knew would never show this kind of expression to him. He knows that Jingyi people wanted to be close to him, but he also knew that she wouldn''t dare touch him in the past... This was the first time that Jingyi took an initiative on him... Lu Ming''s heart skipped a beat His stiff and cold body seemed to be holding back something, his eyes were furious and angry as he said, "I told you to let go!" Jingyi people lifted her head from his arms, tears glistened in her beautiful and bright eyes, stubbornly she sai "I...don''t want to ...go! I ...don''t!" How can he send her to the hospital if he can''t even move? "..." Lu Ming looked at the little woman in her arms, her eyes narrowed. This beautiful fave in front of him was clear unlike the times it was smeared in makeup in the past. And the pair of her eyes seemed lot sincere and purer than before... Was she even the Jing Yi he knew? Chapter 17 - 17 Ligament Strain Her beauty was refreshing and thrilling. Dazed, Lu Ming subconsciously raised his hand to stroke her tears away. When he realized his actions, his hand was still a centimeter away and barely touched her face. Instead, he pushed her away and turned around, "If you don''t want to go then don''t, but if you end up crippled don''t come crying to me!" "Really?!" Jingyi''s bright eyes looked at with happiness, Lu Ming looked back and gave her a cold look. Dr. Lirou, who was on the side, heard their conversation. Sweat gathered over her face and her mouth twitched a little. ''Uncle?'' Did Mrs. Lu really called Mr. Lu, Uncle? Was it some new nickname trend between husband and wife these days? With his eyes still on her Lu Ming said so that only Wu Bo''s heard, "Call the military hospital, have them send an X-Ray machine" "..." Wasn''t this doing a little too much for the woman he despise? Wu Bo, although he was a little confused, followed Mr. Lu''s command and requested the hospital to send over an X-ray machine. They waited in the living room for about half an hour. During this half an hour, Lu Ming''s mobile phone has been beeping from incoming text messages. Lu Ming looked at the phone, Jing Yi not knowing what he was looking at curiously stretched her neck to see. Lu Ming was too lazy to bother with her and took the phone away. Jing Yi whispered to herself, "Heartless..." At this time, Wu Bo came and respectfully informed, "Mr. Lu The instrument is delivered " "Let them carry in" Fortunately, this machine was the latest. More convenient and less in weight compared to old-fashioned machines. If the old-thing would be here even ten men wouldn''t be able to move it inside. Dr. Li softly plugs in the machine in the socket and turns it on. After a bit of filming, Jing Yi''s ligament strain, fortunately, turned out not to be serious. Dr. Lirous recalled that Miss Jing used to dance. But it is reasonable to say that this ligament is not easy to be injured. Then what kind of miraculous action did she do to strain the ligament while kicking the TV? She decided to talk with Lu Ming and tell him not to let Jingyi not do too much action for the upcoming few days. Anything that puts more strain on the ligament should be avoided. Once giving a prescription, the doctor left. Lu Ming''s cell phone rang, it was from the secretary Li Wei. Lu Ming sat on the sofa and glanced at Jingyi, who had been staring at his cell phone with a curious look. Lu Ming took back his sight and picked up the phone. Jingyi has no idea about what he was doing, besides holding a piece of rectangular token like thing "Coming," Lu Ming said simply, hung up and was ready to go. Upon seeing him about to leave, Jing Yi asked, "Uncle, can I go out?" With narrowed eyes and a cold dark look, he replied, "Isn''t your injury enough? Why do you want to go?" "..." She only wanted to go out and learn more about this country.. Last night, she couldn''t see the surroundings properly because of the dark. Chapter 18 - 18 Dont Even Dare To Go Out She also had to find a way to get back to her dear country. "I just want to go out and see..." "Don''t even think about it" Lu Ming said striding away before he paused and warned, "If you dare to run out, I will break your leg" "..." At this time, Wu Bo remembered something and quickly strode toward Lu Ming''s side. "Mr. Lu, The Madame sent a message. She says she is having a banquet next week and you must return home." Lu Ming was already informed of this by Li Wei and also remembered her mother telling him specifically not to bring Jingyi there. Even she was afraid the silly woman would cause some problem in the banquet. The mother had already sent a message to remind him as well. Not only once but repeatedly. But Lu Ming knew Jing Yiren wouldn''t want to go anyway, because of her being born as an illegitimate child people always looked down upon her on such family gatherings. Lu Ming replied faintly, "I know" Hearing Wu Bo''s words, Jing Yiren looked at Lu Ming with bright eyes. "Mother''s birthday?" The excitement in her voice sounded awkward, she had never been like this to any family gathering before. Lu Ming didn''t reply. "Will you take me?" Jingyi asked, She likes the lively places most, and as she still has to know more about this country and culture, the banquet will be a nice place to learn more. Not to mention staying inside this house every day would be more than boring. Her question made Lu Ming taken aback, he paused on his steps. How come she had such an excited tone for a banquet? Didn''t she always despised her illegitimacy and avoid gatherings because she was afraid people will laugh on her? Lu Ming decided to look at her, "Why do you want to go?" "To wish longevity, why else?" Jingyi answered with a face that was bright. Lu Ming wanted to say that she doesn''t have to actually go, but when he looked at her big eyes that have been looking at him expectantly, he changed his words: "We will talk about it later" Jing Yi''s small mouth pouted. After Lu Ming left, Jing Yi, with the help of the servant, wiped the medicine on her leg. But the rest of the time was still boring. A servant brought her some magazines and placed them on the table. From the book, she was able to know a little about the humanities, customs, culture, and style of this place. This country and hers were in contrast to each other. From the books she was surprised and amazed, it was nothing like she had seen before. Due to her extremely good reading abilities, she finished all the magazines in no time, but she needed more to fight the boredom. Suddenly Jing Yi was reminded of the strange book Lu Ming was holding. Jingyi quickly got up and went back to the bedside of the room to find it that book. Soon enough, she found a thin book in the bedside table drawer, and the book was painted with a bitten apple. Jingyi flipped it up and down, smashed twice and knocked twice. But she couldn''t figure out how to open this book, there was nothing like a mirror or any hard word. She wondered if it was a book of apple trees? Helpless Jingyi threw the apple book aside. After eating lunch, in the afternoon, the Jingyi people exercised in the balcony, this new body has no strength and was too weak compared to her original body. In the end, she stood on the balcony and had a wide view of the beautiful wide garden. Chapter 19 - 19 Sharing Bed Last night she had thought it was just a small house. But now looking from here, this villa occupied an entire hill, gardens, groves, and even the racecourse in the distance! This garden and the grove were completely different from what she has seen before. It was more colorful and was even developed and arranged neatly in a regular pattern. The tree and grass were also tall and neat. There were a variety of unknown but beautiful flowers as well. It seemed like entering a private garden. And right below her balcony, there was a large pond! The water was as clear as crystal. A row of umbrellas and seats were lined on the shore. Jingyi guessed it must be used for fishing, but... Why there wasn''t a single fish in the pond? After lunch, Jingyi kept wondering about that pond and decided that she would ask Butler Wu about it. That evening. The Jingyi who had laid down and fallen asleep on the bed found someone crawling inside and was shocked causing her to jump out of the bed Seeing the person on the edge of the bed, Jingyi was shocked further and exclaimed, "Uncle! What are doing in my bed?!" "..." Lu Ming did not give any response, leaning on the bed he bent and picked up his tablet. Jingyi sneaked a peek at his book of apples! Lu Ming, who was looking at the tablet, glanced at the broken table lamp on the ground. "Do you not like this lamp?" He remembered that one was broken yesterday as well. Jing Yi followed his line of sight and looked at the table lamp on the ground. She shook her head."No, It''s too bright. I couldn''t sleep" "Then why didn''t you turned it off?" "I tried blowing it..." Lu Ming faintly glanced at her, before sighing and tilting his head as he looked at the chandelier on the ceiling: "How do you destroy the lamp?" "I tried blowing it, but it was too stubborn....so I broke it" "..." Lu Ming was too lazy to try to understand her words and continued to browse through articles about treating mental retardation. Seeing him ignore her, Jing Yi people carefully grasped the quilt and asked: "Uncle, are you...sleeping here...tonight?" "Where do you think?" Lu Ming didn''t look at her. "¡­" then he was actually sleeping here...? Perhaps if she told him to not sleep here, maybe he would leave politely. Besides this uncle never liked her anyway so he wouldn''t try to make any move on her, right? Didn''t he just say during the day, that even if she was stripped naked, he wouldn''t look at her? Exactly! So, there was no need to worry. Jingyi slipped inside the warm blanket and soon fell asleep. When he heard her uniform breathing sound, Lu Ming put down the tablet and turned to look at her. The tablet screen was still on, showing the answers from Lu Ming''s online consultants. Acquired mental retardation makes one fantasize one thing into another, but still, the understanding of basic things is present. For example, a neuropath can hold a piece of wood as a pistol, but he will still know how to pull the trigger. In this case, where a person doesn''t even know how to turn the lights on and off, take the things in the TV series seriously, but speak in a reasonable way. It is not mental retardation but lack of common knowledge. For example, if a hermit living in the mountains is brought to a city, he would be ignorant of certain things.... Chapter 20 - 20 Bleeding Lu Ming''s eyes became deeper as he looked at the sleeping back of Jingyi. Under her soft hair, a portion of her white neck was exposed, and under the neck, she was wearing a cute night suit with doll faces. As she breathed, her petite body rhythmically went up and down. Cute? Jingyi of the past never wore anything cute like that He whispered to himself, "Who are you...?" was he think too much? This woman beside, her face, her body was indeed of the former Jingyi. But everything else....she seemed like a completely different person. He only went to the bed to see what kind of reaction she would have. Sighing, he continued with his tablet. After getting married for so long, they had never shared a bed. If it was the former Jingyi she would have directly rushed toward him, trying to seduce him. Her actions were shameful. But at this moment, she actually fell asleep safely without doing anything... Although they were really in bed together separated by a small distance, he had doubts that he might be dreaming. He later even slept on the bed with Jingyi without feeling sick. Thinking back to the Jingyi who always used to ask for money, even the thought of touching her bed had made him feel disgusted. But now though they were this close-lying upon the same bed, he didn''t felt a bit wrong. Clearly separated by a distance, he still felt her scent and the heat flowing under the blanket coming from her. She really seemed to be a completely different person. ~Next Morning The sun shone from the window, and in the bed was a beauty with white porcelain skin. The beautiful little face looked like a dusty fairy in the sun. The glare of the sun made her eyes flutter and she slightly opened her eyes. In the bright environment around her eyes, she didn''t react for a while, before she sat up on the bed. She looked around and turned, the other side of the bed was empty. She remembered that she was in a place called S-city. "Breakfast is ready" Lu Ming''s indifferent voice spoke at the same time as he worked with his cufflinks. After taking two steps, Jingyi''s scream made him surprised and he subconsciously turned back. What happened to her? There is something wet and cold between her thighs. Shifting on the bed, she saw a patch of red on the bed-sheet. She gasped. Lu Ming frowned, "What are you doing?" "Oh... I... I bled... It-it seems to be the place where I was injured yesterday..." Jingyi wanted to cry as she spoke, Lu Ming walked on the other side of the bed without hesitation and threw the quilt on the ground. "..." Lu Ming''s eyes suddenly narrowed, In the next moment, Jingyi was pulled up from the bed, and all the blood was in her pajamas. Lu Ming knelt down and touched the bloodstain on her pajamas with one hand. "Wasn''t it a ligament strain, why is there blood?" Jingyi was also scared. She had never seen so much blood coming from her, if she was injured then why didn''t she felt no pain? Chapter 21 - 21 The Great Aunt A warm liquid slowly crawled down her legs like a venomous snake. The sliding touch made her scared and her feet started trembling. "Uncle... am I going to die?" Lu Ming helped her to lie on the bed, she had shed a lot of blood on her legs, but still couldn''t see any wound. He was anxious and quickly rushed out of the room and squatted downstairs. "Wu Bo! call Dr. Li!" Hearing Mr. Lu''s scorn, Wu Bo did not dare make any delay and immediately made the call. Within a quarter of an hour, Li Rou arrived. Lu Ming put his bloody hand in front of Li Rou, "She has bled a lot! It is the place where she was injured yesterday!" Dr. Li Rou quickly rushed into the room. How could yesterday''s wound bleed? Li Rou was shocked to see the blood on the sheets, however, she realized what had happened after a few seconds. Lu Ming was slightly nervous on the side: "What happened to her?" Li said faintly to Jingyi, "Miss Jing, your aunt came, you didn''t know?" "..." Lu Ming suddenly had a feeling of being thundered, and he mechanically turned to look at the blood in his hand, Even Dr. Lirou also turned to look at Lu''s hand covered in aunt''s blood. If this news is leaked, it can make a headline tomorrow! Lu Ming, chairman of Lu Groups, Prince of S City, became nervous because''s his wife''s aunt came and even called the doctor to cure the aunt. Lirou imagined about all the wonderful money she could earn with this news. Lu Ming''s face glanced at Li Rou, and Dr. Li Rou immediately took back her line of sight and dared not to look back again. A sound of washing hands came from the bathroom, while on the other side Jingyi did not understand anything that just happened. She was looking at Lirou. "Why is my aunt coming?" She was not the owner of this body and hence didn''t knew any of its relatives, and more importantly what was the relation between her bleeding and her aunt? "Since the aunt is here, let her come up!" "..." Li Roo didn''t want to explain the matter further, to Wu Bo she commanded: "Let the maid cook some brown sugar ginger water for her to drink" Lu Ming in the bathroom naturally heard the conversation between Jingyi and Lirou. Taking out a pack of sanitary napkins from the locker of the bathroom, he walked out and gave it to Jingyi. "Go and change" "..." Change? What? Jing Yi looked at the words above the tampon packet and still couldn''t understand. Super absorbent! Super breathable! Super soft! But what is super and how and why do you use it? Jing Yi subconsciously asked Dr. Lirou: "Is it something?" Li Roo shook her head, "Just a normal physiological period" Jing Yi was still anxious. "How long will it last?" "From four days to a week or so..." "..." At least four days? When her leg was hurt she didn''t say anything, but now she had to continue bleeding for four days as well?! With furrowed brows, Jingyi snapped, "Aren''t you going to bandage me now? or will you keep me hidden for four days?" "..." Bandaging? It was the first time Dr. Lirou heard of someone bandaging the big aunt! She wanted to laugh but didn''t dare to do that out loud. Chapter 22 - 22 How To Use This Stuff? "Miss Jing, the aunt is not harmful" Jingyi groaned, subconsciously saying to herself, "That aunt again..." She did remember hearing of this aunt. After a woman''s aunt''s visits, she becomes a complete adult. She had only heard that it happens monthly and there is some bleeding involved, but she hadn''t experienced it ever before. Was it lower-body bleeding? Thinking of this, Jingyi subconsciously looked at the thick packet in her hands, she was afraid that this thing is used to cope up with bleeding... Jingyi got up from the bed carrying the strange packet. Her abdomen was in pain and her legs felt week, as her feet stumbled Lu Ming caught her in time and helped her going to the bathroom. Once inside, Jingyi quickly shut the door and looked at the thing in her hands with troubled expressions. This thing is supposed to handle the bleeding, but how does one use it? Jingyi sat on the toilet seat and turned over the blue packet in her hands over and over. Perhaps it is placed between the legs? She shook her head, that can''t be, this thing was too big! Jingyi studied the packet and then suddenly her eyes lit up. On one side she saw a dotted line and a small scissor upon it. She smiled smugly and simply tore the packet by hand. Sure enough, inside were several small things lined together. She took a small pouch-like thing in her hand and studied it. It seemed to be too short, are two of them used together. A knock on the door sounded and the voice of the maid came, "Miss Jing, I have brought a change of clothes for you" Jingyi stood up and slowly moved toward the door feeling uncomfortable by the stickiness between her legs. She opened the door and with a small gap took the clothes. Feeling a desperate need to clean herself first, Jing Yi simply took off her clothes first and decided to take a hot shower before trying to figure out the strange packet. Yesterday, the maid has taught her how to use the shower. Once she was cleaned and dried, Jingyi took two packets and suddenly there was a small opening. Her eyes widened a little and she parted the small opening. There was another small thing inside! It could be opened up as well, and then Jingyi saw a white thing with a flower pattern, smooth on one side, and with sticky glue on the other. Also, the size was enough big to cover the bleeding, no two were needed! Afterward, it didn''t take her much time to figure it out. Jingyi was feeling proud. She put on her clothes and once it was done, she elegantly took a swirl. This thing was really convenient, and it doesn''t leak, but it doesn''t felt very comfortable while walking. With every step she took, the thing got stuck to her bottom and she was feeling very strange and uncomfortable. But it was still better than having a blood stain. Jingyi stepped outside of the room and there was no one present except one. Chapter 23 - 23 Princess Has No Money! She was ready to move back to the bed when her expressionless, cold husband suddenly stood up from the sofa and walked in front of her. Jingyi swallowed hard and didn''t make any eye contact, yesterday she had broken that diorama and now she has cost him further damages. He must be looking for payback! As she was busy pondering about ways she can collect all the sum that would be needed, suddenly she felt warm arms wrapping around her and a beautiful scent of men''s cologne. Lu Ming lifted her in his arms with ease, bridal style. Jingyi has never been this close to any men, with this sudden action a blush crept her face and she shyly looked away. The way she reacted a deep look appeared behind Lu Ming''s eyes. Carefully, he rested her on the bed which was now covered with new sheets. Even after putting her on the bed, Lu Ming''s eyes didn''t leave her. The atmosphere made her feel strange. He was probably at his limit now, first his precious wines and drinks, than the diorama and now his bed.... In order to ease the atmosphere, Jingyi said: "Uncle... That diorama yesterday..." "That is a TV" Lu Ming''s mobile phone shook a little, and subconsciously took out the mobile phone to read the text message, "How... much did it cost...?" Lu Ming''s eyebrows lifted a little not understanding why was Jingyi asking this, "150,000" "..." It made Jingyi further embarrassed. She doesn''t have any money with her, how come a princess fell to the point of feeling debated about money?! Jingyi clutched the quilt, "I-I have no money!" Lu Ming lifted his eyes from the phone and glanced at her. Was she really planning to pay him back? This...was completely unexpected...She really changed into a different person. The tone of her speech doesn''t seem like it was pretended and her facial expressions looked really awkward because she had no money. If it was the previous Jingyi, she would have definitely shouted in her usual arrogant way and said, "So what is the TV is broken, I am your wife! How could you ever ask me for money!" Not like he would have ever asked for the money, but she would have definitively behaved like that. Seeing Lu Ming looking at her with a surprised look, Jingyi became further red from embarrassment and quickly said. "I remember the 1.7 million yuan from before as well. If you think I will not pay your money then don''t forget that I am a princess of a country and once I return, I will pay you back!" Lu Ming was speechless after she finished. Was she ill? On his way to the company, he told the maids to make brown sugar and ginger water for her. Jingyi spends the morning giving her body a rest. Later, in the noon she went to the garden to decided to practice her kungfu skills, this new body was too weak and she couldn''t let all her training of years be rusted by too much rest! The place where Jingyi practiced was quite near the ''water pond'' that she saw yesterday. After a while, she went to the ''water pond'' and with a deep look in her eyes, she circled the pond. To a passing maid, she asked without moving her gaze, "Why is there no fish in this pond?" The maid''s face turned puzzled and irritated at her question, "Miss Jing, this is a swimming pool, why would there be any fish?" Chapter 24 - 24 Buying Fish "Miss. Jing... this is a swimming pool" the maid said, "Why would there be any fish?" "Who says that you can''t raise fishes in the place you swim?" This was a good pond. But without any fishes it seemed so lifeless. Jingyi recalled how her Emperor Uncle, loved swimming in lake and ponds. They were so much more beautiful, with fishes and flowers. Since, she doesn''t have money to this uncle back, Jingyi decided she would please Lu Ming by making the pond beautiful! With a determined look, she turned to face the maid. The maid instantly looked troubled. Jingyi smiled brightly and said to her, "I am going to buy some fishes!" "N-no! Miss Jing! Mr. Lu said that you can''t go out!" "Well then don''t tell him!" Jingyi said that and quickly ran toward the main gates. This scene was really whimsical, even if the maid doesn''t say it, Butler Wu will definitely inform Lu Ming. The maid followed Jingyi, panting she spoke, "Miss Jing! You should talk with Butler Wu, he will do the preparations for you!" Don''t drag us maids in your matters! Jing Yi suddenly stopped. Come to think of it, it will be much more convenient to have a car. She turned her direction and ran toward the house. "Miss Jing, please slow down! Your foot injury is not good yet!" The maid kept shouting, Jingyi stopped as she felt a sudden flow of blood between her legs. Thankfully, she was wearing something to cope with the bleeding. But it was still better to cover the rest of journey without running. Butler Wu was holding a mirror like something beside his ear as he sat on sofa. Jingyi walked up to him and said, "Steward Wu! The princess is going out! Prepare the carriage!" "..." Wu was holding a phone at that moment reporting Lu Ming about Jing Yi''s all the activities, after becoming speechless momentarily by ''steward'' he told Lu Ming about her wishes. Lu Ming replied indifferently, "Don''t let her go alone" "Yes" Wu respectfully responded, hung up the phone and faced Jingyi,"Miss Jing, I will arrange the driver for you" Jingyi told the driver that she wants to buy fish, and the driver drove the car to the most prosperous market of S-City. From inside of the car Jingyi looked at the sky touching buildings as the car continued to drive, her heart was amazed. There were no such magnificent buildings in her palace, or the kingdom! She really wanted to scream, but since that would be too un-princess like, she kept an indifferent cold look and continued watching the buildings. The destination where the driver stopped the car was busy with lots of people and with mixed scents of several things. In front of her was a basin full of water placed on the ground, and there are a lot of big fat fish inside. "..." Jingyi looked at the driver with irritated eyes and asked: "Where is this?" "Miss Jing, this a food market..." Jingyi wanted to smack her head on the wall as she screamed, "The princess wants to buy koi! The fish that are meant to be admired, not fish that are meant to be eaten" The driver felt wronged after being shouted like that, and muttered to himself... "Miss Jing did clarify earlier..." The driver turned the car around and before it can proceed any further a scream cam from the outside. "The thief! Catch the thief! He is a thief! Grab him... He stole my vegetable basket, my wallet is inside...." Chapter 25 - 25 Princess Behind The Wheels "That man with black hat! Hurry up and someone please catch him!" A chubby woman shouted panting, "My wallet, my phone! everything''s in there!"The vegetable market was crowded, rushed with a lot of people. Jing Yi people looked out of the window and her eyes landed upon a tall, sharp-nosed man wearing a black cap rushing past their car, behind a woman was chasing him. That thief he has guts to steal in broad daylight? Jing Yiren''s face darkened as she said. "Chase him" "..." the driver was speechless, perhaps he heard wrong "Huh?" "Hurry up and chase that thief!!" "Miss Jing, we don''t need to bother ourselves with such things! Someone will call the police!" "If we don''t bother ourselves with such things and let everything on the police, the thieves will continue to steal fearlessly in the broad daylight! Even amidst a crowd of people!" Jingyi stood from the back seat and went in the front seat. How can a princess ever let something like this happen? Wasn''t it a basic human dignity? To always stand up for each other? Jingyi once again yelled and ordered: "If you are not going to chase after him, I will!!" Hearing this, the driver was shocked and immediately started the car, slowly driving forward. The road in this food market was particularly narrow, and with many people, it was difficult to drive. Jingyi on the side seemed to be in a lot of hurry: "Hurry up! The thief will escape!... Hurry! He turned to the right and ran... Why are you driving to the left?!!" Jingyi pointed to the direction outside the car window, "Would you drive there? The thief ran to the right!" The car went out of the market and went into the right lane. The driver wanted to cry without tears: "Miss Jing, the right side is retrograde! Driving there would be violation of traffic law!" The driver continued to slow down, "Why are you not obeying the princess! Hurry and chase him!" "..." The driver did not respond! Jing Yiren, a princess of her country is ignored? Not only was her highness humiliated, but also furious, she was doing something good, why was this driver showing no cooperation? Although Jingyi did not know how to drive, she had seen it twice now. The wheel in front of the driver was used to adjust the direction. If he won''t turn around, then she will make the car turn around! Jingyi rushed toward it and turned the steering wheel fiercely to one side. "Miss Jing, You can''t do this, it''s too dangerous!!" The driver screamed. "Ah~~~!!!!!!!" The maid who was sitting behind silently till now was scared and screamed, as her heart jumped out, The car twisted like a snake on the avenue and slammed into several other vehicles on the way. The driver''s panicked heart took some time to settle and thankfully he hadn''t forgot everything after experiencing such scene and his first reaction after recovering himself was to slam his foot on the brakes. The wheels screeched against the ground and abruptly came to a stop. However before the car stopped it hit another car in front and also almost destroyed the green protection fence between the road and the footpath. Behind them the whole road was squeezed with several cars and other vehicles, the sound of horns and shouts was everywhere. The driver was shocked and quickly turned around to make sure the other passengers of the car were fine. He tried to stable his racing heartbeats and got out off the car ready to apologize to others but the road was only filled with accusing shouts directed at him. The driver saw the mayhem in front of him crying. He will definitly be fired! Chapter 26 - 26 Princess Catches The Thief Jingyi saw the driver open the door, and quickly rushed out to chase the thief who has run far away. The maid was scared as Jingyi went out and followed her outside trying to stop her. "Miss Jing... Miss Jing..." Jingyi was wearing a long dress and running without affecting it, she ran beautifully and elegantly but the shoes were like sharp block beneath her feet. It was too hard to walk, she removed the two shoes and held them in her hands as she continued to run. As she ran faster and faster, the sanitary napkin between her legs became more uncomfortable, but the thief was now closer and there was no way she could let him off! He threw an anxious glance at her as he ran, she roared at him"This princess will not let you escape!!!" "You dare steal in broad daylight!! " A group of aunts was also chasing after the thief but they had already started panting and could help but give up. Only Jingyi remained. The passerby looked at her with amazed eyes. Even the people from inside the shops were all looking at the determined and beautiful woman chasing after the thief. It attracted the help of one or two big men of the passers-by, but Jingyi was faster than them. "Stop! This princess will not let you go!!" The sounds of a police car echoed from nearby. Jingyi chased after with, the thief was about to turn around when she threw a shoe from her hand toward him. The heel of the shoe smacked the thief on his head. The blow sent pain exploding across his body, he fell down on the ground. Jingyi rushed up, placed a foot above his stomach and said. "You dare try to run off, with this princess being here?!" The thief lifted his head and panted, crying "You...crazy woman, are you some athlete or something?!" He pulled a gun and pointed it in front of Jingyi''s head. "I wasn''t planning on--" The thief hadn''t finished talking yet. Jingyi didn''t know what he was holding in his hand. Hence, there was no panic. With the remaining shoe on her hand, she smacked the thief''s head and with a dizzy look on his face, he was knocked out. The gun dropped from his hand. ~The Police Station The thief was taken to the police station by the police. Although Jingyi has done a brave action today she had also caused a big traffic accident and was also take to the police station. Most people in the police station know her notorious identity and about the incidents, she has caused earlier. They assumed she was trying to clean her name. The thief was not an ordinary thief. He was an international drug lord and a murderer. He has a gun on his body. He was wanted. He only stole because he has nothing to eat. How did this Jingyi dare to be so bold, not caring about her life to clear her name? A senior policewoman personally recorded Jingyi''s statement. Chapter 27 - 27 Police Station A high-level policewoman personally recorded Jingyi''s confession. However, Jingyi''s sitting position was really uncomfortable. She had just ran away and was now feeling more wetness down there. She was afraid the skirt might have become dirty. The driver and the maid were sitting behind Jingyi, the driver has informed Wu Bo about the situation and was told that someone will come to bail all of them out. A police woman in black uniform with a cold indifferent face pushed a pen and paper toward Jingyi. She looked at her with blank confused expressions not understanding. The police woman impatienty tapped her fingers on the table and pointed again toward the paper. "Hurry up!" Jing Yi looked at the paper with observant eyes. Name...Sex... Subconsciously, she picked the pen and just holding it between her fingers and noticing how hard and stiff it was.S he turned it up and down and then looked around, before looking at the policewoman coldly. "There is no ink" the policewoman didn''t even gave her ink but wants her to hurry and fill the form? The officer''s tapping fingers paused, "It''s a pen, the ink is inside" Jing Yi''s eyes widened a little.The ink is inside...? So advanced! Wondering how the ink could come out from this pen, Jingyi shook it a little then slapped it against the table. It was a fountain pen. And the ink inside shot forward directly on the cold faced policewoman. A long strip of ink spotted her face. Jing Yi was shocked and straightened her waist. The policewoman was stunned by her face, and her sudden new appearance made Jingyi want to laugh, but she can only force it in. With almost mechanic movement the policewoman brought a finger to her face and then looked at the ink on her hand with wide eyes. "Oh..." she said, Jingyi laughed but still maintained to contain it to some extent. The driver and maid sitting behind the Jingyi people couldn''t help but say: "Miss Jing..." Only the young lady of their house could dare to do this wonderful thing in a police station.The high-level policewoman was so angry that her face turned red. She glared at the pair of eyes in front of her. Jingyi was also feeling sorry, she stood up and took to tissue papers from the side and crossed the table to her the policewoman while stifling her laughs. "I''m sorry ha-ha... I didn''t mean it!" Jingyi remembered to apologize, while helping the policewoman wipe her face, but the tissue paper smeared the ink further and all over her,the policewoman instantly aquired a black face! "Oh... hahahaha..." Jingyi couldn''t help it this time, She burst out laughing.Her laughter attracted the attention of other police officers, and once they saw their senior''s face black with ink they couldn''t help but snicker. Furious the policewoman grabbed the tissue from Jing Yi''s hand and stormed inside the washroom. After a while, the cold faced policewoman came back, swept the from from Jing Yi and the pen. "Name!" "Jing Yiren!" "Sex!" "Female!" The policewoman scribbled on the form. Afterwards, Jing Yi was asked to describe what happened on the road. While her confession was being recorded, suddenly a furious voice bellowed from the doorway."Jing Yiren! When will you give me a rest! How much will you continue disgracing us?!!" Chapter 28 - 28 Furious Father While Jing Yi''s confession was being recorded suddenly a middle-aged man barged inside the interrogation and room and started yelling. "Jing Yiren! When will you give me a rest! How much will you continue disgracing us?!! I shouldn''t have given birth to a wild seed like you!! "The media has been outside the police station all day because of you! Aren''t you shameful of your acts?!! How much are you going to tarnish the Jing family name?!!!" As soon as he gets the news of this situation, the middle-aged man rushed here. He was the father of old Jing Yi. Though Jing Yi was sent to the police station, she didn''t feel any bad about it and why would when all her intentions were good? From this man''s words and sentences, it can be clearly seen that this old man didn''t care about his daughter at all. Was the previous Jingyi so unpleasant? What could she have done to make him despise her so much? All he seemed to care about was his reputation and it was also clear that he had acted impulsively and rushed in here to shout upon her without even knowing the details of the situation. Jing Yi''s face darkened and she coldly looked at him, blocking the fire inside her chest and trying to behave since he was the father after all. The old man hesitated a little seeing the look on Jing Yi''s face but it infuriated him further and he continued. "Jing Yiren, I will tell you this one last time, if Mr. Lu divorces you because of this, the Jing family will never accept you! Is there nothing you can do besides being shameful?!" The old man yelled as he approached her and raised his hand. Seeing the situation, the driver sitting behind, looked at the maid and the two of them quickly ran after the old man and before he can hit Jing Yi they grabbed his hands. "Mr. Jing! If Miss Jing never married Mr. Lu, the Jing family would have already gone bankrupt!! How can you do this to her?!" The driver has never liked Jingyi, but today although Jingyi has caused trouble, her intentions were clearly good. Helping the police catch such a wanted criminal was contributing to society. She risked her life for the sake of good it was clear that her heart was pure and good as well. She was a little woman, but strong and braver than others. "I gave birth to her, raised her! and even married her to Mr. Lu! Would she be having such a lavish life if it wasn''t for me?!!" The old man couldn''t see any flaw in himself, if it weren''t for him, that illegitimate daughter would have only lived a life of shame. After Lu Ming married her, who would have expected the naive obedient girl would show her claws like this? What was wrong being a proper wife and enjoy the perks that come with wealth? He had done so much effort to settle the marriage, how could he let his own daughter ruin it like this?! As Jingyi continued to look at the noisy old man, her face became colder and colder. From his words, it was clear that he had arranged the marriage for the previous owner of the body, and certainly for the money. "Tell me" Jingyi snorted and stood up, her eyes narrowed as she looked at the father "What do you want?" He was surprised at the sudden change in her behavior. He slapped away the driver holding onto him and pointed at Jingyi, "What do I want?! You dare to ask me what I want?!! You disgraced me! your actions ruined my reputation and you still dare ask what do I want?! Are you not aware of all your deeds?!! "I will tell you this! If you cause any losses to the Jing family, I will throw you back to that poor mountain village!! or else you better find hundreds of Lu Ming''s to invest in our business!! " Yiren''s face was expressionless and hard after hearing him. First, because she had no actual relationship to this man to hear all his nonsense, and second because all he said sounded like a fart. Chapter 29 - 29 Putting A Stopper "Such a greedy and small-minded person like you..." Jing Yi stepped closer, the water glass in her hands swaying, "Dare himself call my father?" What she did next was something she had never done before, a princess never can do such an indecent move but this man really go on her nerves. She lifted the glass and splashed the water across his face. Old man Jing had never been disrespected like this and certainly not in front of this many people at his age. In the past, whenever he got angry, Jingyi people would always be scared and submissive, agreeing to his every command. Was this girl trying to rebel today? His face was flushed in red from anger and several shades darker at the same time, raising his hand he slapped Jing Yi. It was too sudden that Jing Yi couldn''t react in time, so she instinctively shut her eyes. "..." The expected pain did not fell on her face for a long time. Jing Yi slowly opened her eyes, only to see old man Jing''s big arm grabbed by a slender but more powerful hand. A cold voice came, "Jing Bo, This is not the place where you should discipline your daughter" "..." Jing Yi looked at Lu Ming, who suddenly appeared, and her mouth curled into a small smile subconsciously, it was really a perfect time for this uncle to come! When Lu Ming had entered the police station, he saw such a scene. It happened in a spur of moment and before he knew he was rescuing his wife. Seeing Lu Ming, Jing Bo''s expressions immediately changed and in a flattering respectful voice, he responded, "Mr. Lu! It is my fault for raising a child who always gives you trouble! Forgive me! It''s not her fault!" Jing Yi snorted. But one thing made her wonder, she really can''t see it why even this impulsive father become afraid of Lu Ming. What was his status? Lu Ming ignored Jing Bo, and glanced coldly at the senior policewoman, "What happened?" A thin layer of sweat appeared on her face from his cold gaze. A subordinate quickly ran toward Lu Ming and explained, "Miss Jing was really amazing. Today she helped us break a major case! she seized an international drug dealer and murderer by hand! It just happened that this process slightly affected a little traffic, so according to the rules, we have to bring her here and record her confession" Lu Ming raised an eyebrow and glanced at Jingyi, "Her?" The tone was clearly disdainful, "..." Hearing this, Jing Yi''s face pouted, she put her hands on hips and looked at Lu Ming with accusing eyes. Was a princess like her not qualified to catch a thief? "Mr. Lu! It was indeed Miss Jing who caught him!" The driver stepped in front and added. Lu Ming''s face sank as he heard him. His eyes were deep and fixed, as looked at Jing Yi. "I-It''s just that the people who suffered losses are asking for compensation outside..." he hesitantly said, Lu Ming''s eyes became further dark. When he came in, there were more than a dozen people sitting outside. How much traffic accident did she cause? Jing Yi looked at Lu Ming''s gnashing teeth! and felt that a storm was coming. Quickly she tried to explain, "I didn''t mean it, I only caused one hit and those stupid cars crashed themselves, Uncle! Uncle...." Chapter 30 - 30 I Have Sinned... "Uncle..." Jing Yi looked at Lu Ming''s darkened eyes, the more she talked. The darker they became, soon there was no sound coming from her. Subconsciously she was stepping back as he approached her and stopped when there was only the wall behind. "You are not afraid of death, is that it?" Lu Ming slammed a hand against the wall making her flinch. Seeing that Lu Ming was angered, all the police officers retired to their respected places immediately. Only those related to the two remained. "Jing Yiren!! Acting all daring and fearless, risking your life to catch an international criminal! Do you not care about your life?!" Jing Yi was shocked and she sunk herself deeper against the wall, Lu Ming took a step forward and grabbed her hand harshly. "Not to mention the traffic accident!" Kneeling, Lu Ming pulled her over his shoulders and spanked her hard as a form of punishment. "Uncle!" Jingyi was in pain and but didn''t screamed. Lu Ming took two steps and felt something strange, suddenly he stopped and looked at his palm with knotted eyebrows. Jing Yi does not understand what happened to him and subconsciously turned back to see his hand was covered in blood. Lu Ming''s face was as black as night. Jing Yi knew he was mad and she was instantly filled with guilt and embarrassment. Lu Ming had the urge to run away but was too stunned. After ten seconds, he placed her feet back on the ground, threw away his coat upon her and then rushed to the bathroom. The maid behind hiding behind a table immediately took off the coat lying on Jingyi''s head and helped her tie it around the waist covering the bloodstains. On the other side, old man Jing was speechless. Not by the recent happening but by the furious yet concerning words from Lu Ming. Has Jing Yi succeeded in tempting him? It was a wonder! "Dad will be going! Go home and make-up with Mr. Lu, Don''t and forget to let him invest in Jing''s!" the old man left with an all too sudden bright smile, "Not only for yourself but also for your older brother''s sake!" Jing Yi looked at his despicable greedy face with cold hard eyes. Lu Ming came out of the bathroom and left without waiting for her to follow. The assistant, Li Wei had already handled all the procedures for the compensations finding Jing Yi alone she walked past her and didn''t forget to say as she smirked. "Troublemaker" "..." Jingyi have become accustomed to others who hate her for no apparent reason and was too lazy to bother with them anymore. She was fine being ignorant of those and focus on her life. On the way back to home Jingyi and Lu Ming were riding home in different cars. After some time a question popped inside her head and curiously she asked. "Why is everyone afraid of Uncle?" "..." the maid couldn''t believe Jing Yi forget that as well... But considering the other things she had forgotten, it was still normal... "Master is the son of Marshal, and the Marshal will soon run for the presidency!" "What is that?" The maid squinted her head, after thinking about it a little she found the best way this ''princess'' understand. "It''s just like the emperors from ancient times" Chapter 31 - 31 Emperors Are A History...? "Master is not only the son of the Marshal grown-up, but also the Prince of S City, he had thousands of fans! That''s why whoever sees him shows him respect! It''s just that our master likes to be a low key" Upon hearing the maid, Jingyi''s eyes suddenly widened and the words kept rewinding themselves in her mind. "You just said that the emperors were people of ancient times?" "..." The maid did not understand but nodded, "Yes..." "..." Jingyi stared at the maid, with disbelief If the emperors were a thing of the past, then was there no monarchy at all? Jingyi had previously thought that her soul has entered inside some other body, and she could still return back to her nation and ask her uncle why he took her life. Her face lost some of it''s color, she grabbed the maid''s shoulders and shook them "What about other nations? Are there really no emperor?!" Jingyi''s palms were sweaty and cold, she asked to reconfirm "Miss Jing! How can there be an emperor in the a modern era like ours? They are only present in period dramas and all" said the maid slowly removing the hand grabbing her shoulder, Jingyi was mistaken, she had actually traveled to a different time, a different era, into an unknown land full of strangers. Lu Ming just happened to be very similar to her Imperial Uncle... The only person who made her feel safe and secure, the only person who accepted and loved her...Was there no way she could return back to him..? Can she never return to her beloved country? The rest of the journey was filled with an uncomfortable silence.Jing Yi didn''t spoke a word as she went inside her room, changed and stood below the hot shower. She can''t go back, and the only person she can rely on... seemed to be this Lu Ming...If he is gone from her life, there would be no place for her where she can eat and sleep.How will she be able to live on her own in an unknown place like this? Even if one day she splits from that Lu Ming, she can''t let that happen before she learns everything about this world! So before that, Jing Yi was determined to never let the divorce happen!! Today was a disaster, Wu Bo was making calculations while serving the meals. The car accident caused 7 cars to suffer, plus their own best car, it was imported. For repairs alone, the car would be needed to send abroad. Adding all the costs, it was 1.20 million. Jingyi was eating with lowered eyes not daring to look at Lu Ming. She thought he would be still angry for yesterday and hence maintained the silence of the dining. After Wu Bo finished, he left the dining room.Jingyi secretly lifted her eyes and sneaked a glance at Lu Ming. He didn''t seem to be angry at all, but was eating his food elegantly. And then he put a fish head in her bowl. "..." Jingyi looked at it, and the small hand holding the chopsticks tightened down,her face was stiff and speechless Was he punishing her? She hates eating fish heads most, those were always smelly and disgusting... But Lu Ming had no bad intentions, the Jing Yi he knew always loved fish heads. Then, why was she motionless all of sudden? Earlier he would often not come home only because she would always order the fish heads to be made for her, the smell was repulsive but she somehow still preferred them.... Chapter 32 - 32 Celebrity Brother With his indifferent voice and an indifferent look he asked. "Why are you not eating?" "..." Jingyi was silent for two seconds, thinking about how to answer him She only smiled in reply as she lifted a chicken head with her chopsticks and placed in his bowl. "Uncle, you should eat too!" "..." Lu Ming put the chicken head lightly on the side of and replied indifferently, "This chicken head''s nutrient value is not much" He was clearly looking for an excuse not to eat! Jing Yi put her chopsticks down and stood up, desperate to run from the fish head. "I am finished" Jing Yi thought that Lu Ming would be embarrassed for giving such a foul thing to her. After all, she also rejected him directly on this face.But for some reason Lu Ming didn''t get angry at all instead his mouth smirked. This man was moody and unpredictable.At night, When Lu Ming returned to the room, Jing Yi was already asleep. But then Lu Ming woke her up only to tell her how to use the table lamp, the chandelier and that diorama...TV. There were a lot of good-looking stories, and some cultural knowledge inside of it.Jing Yi sat on the bed and watched TV. A person dressed in ancient attire was swinging his sword at someone when all of sudden a blonde boy smiling brightly and started singing and dancing. Then holding a small packet in his hand he said with a cool face. "Texture as soft as silk with taste beyond imagination" Jing Yi pointed at the TV with a remote control and unhappily turned toward Lu Ming. "Why did it change? I still want to watch the show..." "Advertisement, It will be back soon" Lu Ming glanced at the TV then returned to his tablet, "I don''t want to watch ads!" Jing Yi was annoyed, why these advertisements kept repeating themselves again and again? "Who is this guy? I hate him!" Lu Ming''s hand paused above his tablet and raised an eyebrow looking at Jing Yi, "You don''t recognize him?" "This is my first time seeing this person, a man wearing ear-rings like woman is also unsightly" Jingyi said with disdain, "He is Jing Xi, your brother" Lu Ming said, Jing Xi was the son of Jingyi''s step-mother. The two shared no blood relation. While the previous Jing Yi was always obsessed with her younger brother, he on the contrary always despised her. After Jingyi was married, he was happy to finally get rid of her. But this Jing Yi from had no knowledge about all of this, upon hearing that this strange guy was none other than her own brother, she choked on her water and coughed. If Lu Ming finds out she isn''t his Jing Yi, he might threw her out of the house! She had to keep her act up! "Ah! Yes, my little brother. He... he isn''t usually like this so I didn''t recognized him at first" Jing Yi hesitantly smiled and explained, Lu Ming didn''t gave it much thought and continued with his articles about mental disorders. Chapter 33 - 33 Fish Pond Jingyi fell asleep after a while, her head resting itself on Lu Ming''s shoulder. Her wavy long hair hung in front of his chest, Lu Ming only moved his eyes too look at her. Her face was calm and as clear as water, adding a touch of innocence to her beauty. Under the pretty nose, her pale lips parted slightly, as she breathed from time to time. Without even knowing, Lu Ming licked his dry lips. His eyes slowly traced her skin as they left her lips. Down to her porcelain white skin, slender neck, and her soft delicate collarbones. To her chest which rhythmically moved up and down. Even in sleep, she emitted a natural beauty and an elegant aura. Lu Ming shut down the TV and lifted her in his arms.There was a lingering faint scent of her body-wash, the fragrance swirled the men''s hormone inside of him. Carefully, slowly Lu Ming laid her on the bed. Covered her with the quilt and stood up taking deep breaths. After that, he stormed outside. ~Next day When Jing Yi woke up, Lu Ming had already left for the office. After eating breakfast, Jingyi practiced her marshal arts skills in the yard, and her eyes unknowingly fell upon the swimming pond. She recalled the result of last day''s fish buying trip. This pond was so large and clean, she wanted to make it more beautiful and bright. When she will present it to Lu Ming, he would be happy for sure! But after yesterday''s disaster, she doubted she can go out at the moment. She went to Butler Wu, "I am going to buy fishes..." "Miss Jing! You want fish, I will have them here in no time! But please don''t talk about going out!" Jingyi knew that there was no way she can buy fish herself and turned back toward the pond. Wu Bo had no idea why Jing Yi wants to raise fishes all of sudden, she must be bored...He called the top pet shop of the city. This delivery took some time. Meanwhile, Jing Yi had ordered the servants and gardener to dig up the mud from lawn lay and fill the water up-to three meters. Above them a layer of pebbles and rocks was laid. Slowly the soil inside the now muddy water settled down and the water became gradually clean. When Wu came to inform Jingyi that the fishes are delivered, he was greeted with a picture that made his old bones turn to lead. Soil was dug out from flower beds and the garden, the beautiful cobblestone trail... was completely gone.To sum up the disaster in simpler words, the charming lawn had been hollowed out! "Miss Jing, what have you done?!! If Mr. Lu knows, he will definitely be angry!" Master Lu swims everyday in the pool, but the pool was gone now...Not to mention the beautifully designed lawn with imported materials. "..." Wu Bo has an urge to die! Jing Yi asked the maid: "Where are the lotus seeds?" The maid handed a box of lotus seeds to Jingyi. She waved her hand and sprinkled it all into the pond. "You can put the fish inside!" she told the butler happy and satisfied from her hard work, "...." Chapter 34 - 34 Gift Jingyi was sitting at the dining table along with Lu Ming who had just returned from office. Last few days, she has ruined a lot of things and had cost him so much money. But after what she did today, she had compensated with the beautiful fish pond she created. "Uncle! I have made a gift for you!" she said excitedly while smiling brightly, Lu Ming was surprised and raised an eyebrow as he lifted his eyes to look at her. At the same time, when Jingyi said those words Wu Bo, who was standing behind Lu Ming, was shocked. Bending over Lu Ming''s ear he whispers to report the swimming pool disaster and the lawn annihilation. Lu Ming''s indifferent face gradually became darker, and surrounding atmosphere became colder and colder. His cold eyes were fixed on Jing Yi. Her facial features were very delicate, eye-catching, a pair of apricot eyes filled with attractive and innocent aura, pretty nose, white skin, everything was just as he remembered but still there was a difference. The Jing Yi of past has always wore a thick layer of make-up, but now without that she looked even more beautiful. But why was she changed like this all of sudden? It was a little hard to understand whether this version of her was better or not...she had been causing destruction since her discharge after all... Seeing that sudden dark cold look upon Lu Ming, Jing Yi couldn''t understand what was wrong with him, is it bad to give gifts? Lu Ming looked at her for a while before he said coldly,"Jing Yi, Are you going to tore the house apart now?" Jing Yi bit her lips. She had been working hard all day, thinking he would be happy with her gift and forgive her for the mistakes she had done all these days. She never expected him to be angry again! Her heart felt so wronged... Her eyes hung down, without any expressions on her face. Seeing the situation, Lu Ming''s eyes softened gradually as he remembered something she had said earlier. "You mentioned a gift?" Jingyi raised her moist eyes, to make sure he was not angry before she nodded. "Let me see it" Lu Ming put down the chopsticks, there was no trace of that previous coldness in his eyes."Okay!" Jing Yi nodded brightly, put her chopsticks down and rushed outside the lawn like a small child. Jingyi led Lu Ming to the pool and pointed to the slightly turbid water inside. "It''s here! Look! The water is not dirty at all, it''s still very clear. It will be even more beautiful when the flowers grow, Look at the fish, not only they have added style to that tasteless pool and are very admirable, but they also represent goodness! You can also fish! "And when Uncle wants to swim, he can do that as well!" Jingyi''s words were sincere and honest. "Would you like to swim?" Lu Ming, "I can''t swim..." "I''ll teach you" "But it''s cold..." Jing Yi hesitated, And she is still on her periods, "There is an indoor heated pool upstairs" "..." The butler at the side thought that Master Lu would be furious, but he didn''t expect this! Before Lu Ming left he even ordered Butler Wu to install a water heater in the pool so that the fish could adapt to the water environment and not die. Wu Bo was simply speechless. Miss Jing was stupid, but now Master Lu as well? Jingyi was taken to a room on the second floor like a living room, separated by a glass wall, inside was a swimming pool. Chapter 35 - 35 Swimming Jingyi was taken to a room on the second floor like a living room, separated by a glass wall, inside is a swimming pool, with the room also having a glass window, the outside view could be clearly seen. A maid has dressed Jing Yi in short tight clothes. Her body was almost completely exposed, feeling so shy that her whole body was covered in a pink blush. To cover herself more, she was now holding towel around herself as well. Inside the water was Lu Ming, wearing only a short trouser like thing, his body was excellent, more detailed with muscles, and created an image of a dragon in the water. The maid standing on the shore, respectfully holding a robe and a bath towel had a greedy look in her eyes, only the saliva didn''t came out. Jingyi really didn''t know why was this woman so obsessed with her uncle? Although his looks was good and his body even excellent, he was more colder than the winter moon itself. Lu Ming swims to the shore and runs a hand across his wet hairs creating a beautiful image before hi extended his hand toward Jing Yi. Seeing that the maid forgot how to breathe. Lu Ming smiled at Jingyi in an irresistibly manner, "Come here" "I... can''t swim!" Jingyi said nervously as she clenched her bath towel, "Don''t let me repeat" he warned "..." How come his voice and even his tone was exactly like her Imperial Uncle? "But...the aunt is here..." "Your clothes are waterproof, it will be fine" "..." Lu Ming''s hand was still extended toward her. Jingyi carefully moved forward, and held his wet palm in her hand as her feet tried to slowly move inside. But then all of sudden she was pulled inside the water. Jingyi screamed immediately not knowing how to swim. Lu Ming took advantage of the situation and lifted her in his arms. Jingyi''s bath towel has drowned somewhere revealing the tightly hugging pink swim suit with a small underwear and a short blouse. The two of them were close and facing each other, his hands were holding her securely, the closeness increased the temperature. Jingyi''s face was blushed red, with only her small hands on his shoulder separating them. Her eyes didn''t dare look at him. She has never worn so little in front of a man! Lu Ming held her waist with one hand, and the skin under the big palm was as slippery and soft as silk.The other hand grabbed one of her little hands which were soft and delicate like babies. There is an inexplicable feeling by being in a situation like this. As if electricity was flowing inside of Lu Ming''s heart. This kind of feeling was something he never felt before, it was strange but nice... "Don''t be afraid of water, if you want to learn" "..." She didn''t want to learn! She was being forced! "I have always been afraid of water" "Why?" According to what he knows, Jing Yi used to swim but not in front of people, because she only knew how to doggy paddle, she was embarrassed... "When I was a child, I was thrown into a well..." she recalled the distant childhood memory, Fortunately, her Imperial Uncle happened to come and found her in time, otherwise she would have drowned. But the terror never left her even after she was out from the well. Lu Ming''s eyes turned deeper. "As long as I am with you, you don''t need to be afraid of anything" "..." Why was this person so much like her Imperial uncle?! Those were the exact same words, her uncle had said to her... But in the end, it was him who took her life.... Chapter 36 - 36 National Brother Calls "I am still scared!" "..." "You are always saying you want to get rid of me... " "Afraid of the divorce?" Lu Ming laughed, "Are you afraid that your family will go bankrupt?" Why would she be worried about that family? She was afraid of him getting rid of her before she can even gain full understanding of this place and is able to look after herself. Otherwise, she would be starved to death! "Whether I divorce you or not depends on you performance" said Lu Ming leaning closer so that his breath whispered in her ear, "How... how do you want me to behave?" Looking at her shy, submissive appearance, Lu Ming''s heart was with a fight of it''s own. He didn''t wanted to be patient... How could he have a feeling for Jingyi people, he always despised? Furthermore, why was this child under him not understanding his intentions? Lu Ming pulled himself a little and looked into her eyes, the more he looked at her harder it became and slowly he lost his consciousness inside of her eyes along with his grip on her waist. Jingyi''s small body plopped into the water. Lu Ming was stunned momentarily before he quickly reacted, But Jingyi refused to be picked up, and the water kept slamming on her face and inside of her mouth. "What are you doing?!" Lu Ming was angered and forcibly pulled her out of the water and let her sit beside the pool. Lu Ming turned and dived deeper inside the pool and away from her immediately. "..." Jing Yi couldn''t understand his strange behaviour, The maid placed a bath towel around Jing Yi''s shoulders. Jingyi changed clothes and came down from the second floor afterwards. Wu Bo informed her that she has a call. "..." Jingyi didn''t knew what he meant and blinked at Butler Wu.Wu Bo put the smartphone in her hand. Jingyi had seen this thing being placed near the ears a lot of time and hence rescted accordingly. There was a young man''s unwelcome voice on the phone, "Jing Yi! Is that you?" Jingyi was surprised that this mirror like thing can talk! But she didn''t knew who the other person was. "Who are you?" "..." The person on the other side of the phone was in silence, and there was a sound of heavy exhale. Obviously the other person was very angry. "It''s Jing Xi! You bumped into my car other day! Are you trying to deny it?!" He had loaned his car to a friend. Today after he returned to China, he saw that his car has been scrapped! "..." Jing Xi? Who is Jingxi? Jing Yi''s mind suddenly remembered the words that Lu Ming said to her So he was her younger brother! Was he involved in the car accident as well? But she remembered Butler Wu saying that all the compensations have been made... "They compensations are already made, what are you looking for?" "Compensation? That''s too easy with a husband like that! What I am looking is an apology!" "..." "Jing Yiren! If it wasn''t for your marriage you would have never been able to compensate me!" Chapter 37 - 37 Nations Prince "Jing Yi, stop using messing ways to get my attention! Even though you are beautiful, you were born in a small village with no etiquette! When will you notice that it does not work!" "..." Jing Yi listened for a long time, and couldn''t understand why this person think so highly of himself, why would a princess like her pull any stunt to have his attention? And not only was her father annoying, the previous Jing Yi also had deal with such a brother? How tragic was her life? "Are you done?" There was frustrated sigh on the other end, "I want you to stay away from me! Don''t bother me!" "..." Nani...? "Stop talking nonsense! You are the one bothering me!" "What did you say?!" Jingxi from the phone suddenly heard a weird, sharp voice "Who was the one who made this annoying phone call only to hear himself talk?! You are harassing this princess here!!" "Jing Yiren!! Do you really think you have become some sort of princess?! And saying that I am harassing you, you love struck fool!" Bump! The phone was hanged over there Looks like the little brother was too angry Jing Xi ground his teeth, this country bumpkin dare talk that way to him? She used to be so weak in front of him, flattering him to let her be by his side and even asked him to marry her! In the past, he used Jingyi as a servant and she never complained, but today she said that it was him who was doing the harassment?! He was the Nation''s Prince! ~ At Night Jingyi laid on bed and slept very well like yesterday. The room was extra quiet Only Lu Ming''s dimly lit bedside lamp shines through the dim room. Tick-tick ~ the clock''s sound periodically disturbed the silence. This quiet person''s head was wide awake. Lu Ming was holding a tablet but can''t focus on a single word. Still thinking about the strange feelings of Jingyi he had while swimming. Subconsciously, her image was plastered inside of his mind, she was wearing the bikini that highlighted her curves, her porcelain white skin, her extraordinarily rounded full rabbits wrapped beneath the top, straight, slender legs... kneeling sexily on a pool of strawberry! The trail of the strawberry juice trailed from the corner of her mouth, along her slender neck and grazed her collarbone before slipping in between her plump breasts. Jing Yi laughed and his heart fluttered. Lu Ming''s throat was a bit dry, he swallowed and the picture in his mind disappeared. He was probably too tired recently, to have such thoughts for Jing Yi, but the actual reason was still a mystery... Putting away the tablet he turned off the lights and laid down. The distance between the two was still bigBut Lu Ming couldn''t sleep, he never had such a sleepless night before. He had always felt a heat flowing from Jing Yi''s direction and tonight it was like a warm hand pulling him over. ~ Next Day In the morning, Jingyi found that she accidentally soiled the sheets. She sat on the bed and complained to Lu Ming, who was already dressed. "Uncle....that thing you gave is no good at all" Chapter 38 - 38 Nations Brother Comes Home Lu Ming looked indifferently at the red on the sheets, and said: "How many days has it been?" "Four..." "..." The bleeding should be small on the fourth day... Lu Ming suddenly thought of something, his eyes became intense as he commanded, "Let me see" "..." Jing Yi''s eyes were as big as a bronze bell. Did she hear it wrong? Lu Ming saw that she was stunned and frozen. He went to the other side of the bed, pulled her skirts up and her panties down. Jingyi instinctively reacted covering herself with hands."Uncle! What are you doing?!" "..." Lu Ming only took half of her pants down and saw the situation, it was unbelievable. He knew she has become stupid. But a stupidity of this level? How could she be this ignorant? Lu Ming suppressed the urge to hit the wall. He then wiped her down there with sanitary wipes and rolled that thing in few paper towels. Quickly, he disposed it in the trash and grabbed the sanitary napkin packet proceeding outside. He didn''t forgot to take a fresh underwear as well. Lu Ming stood in front of Jing Yi''s red face, removed her soiled panties forcibly and applied the napkin to a new fresh underwear. As his eyes landed on her smooth and beautiful curve down there, all those strange nonsensical thoughts rushed back to him in mere seconds. Just looking at her smooth and beautiful arc, Lu Ming cursed, "Damn!" With gritted teeth he stood up, turned and left. Lu Ming was feeling a little proud of himself for helping a woman with sanitary napkins, because he was probably the first man in the world to ever help a woman like that. But for personal reasons he couldn''t stay longer. "..." Jing Yi looked at the direction Lu Ming left, and the closed door blinked, Jingyi changed her clothes, took a shower and went down to eat breakfast. Lu Ming was already gone by then. When Jingyi has ate half of her meal, Butler Wu suddenly came and informed her. "Miss Jing, you have a guest" Jing Yi subconsciously turned to look at the gate. There stood a tall man, wearing a V-neckline thin, long and fluffy sweater, the sunlight coming from behind created a beautiful warm image. His indifferent look contained arrogance, he seemed to be around eighteen or 19 years old .Not waiting for Jing Yi to ask who he was, the man welcomed himself inside and walked over to her. "Jing Yi, we have to talk!" "..." Listening to this voice, a switch flicked inside Jingyi, wasn''t he the young brother, Jing Xi? He was wearing casual clothes but still looked handsome. But after talking that rudely on the phone, why did he came here? Jingyi turned back and continued to eat. "..." Jing Xi, who was the Nation''s star, has been ignored for the first time. His face turned a light shade of red from embarrassment. He slammed both of his hands on the dinning table. "Jing Yi! I will forget all you said to me! But today, is my mother''s birthday, she asked me to pick you up, your father also wants to see you!" "..." Jingyi paused as she heard the ''my mother'' and ''your father'' Then the two of them must be born from different mothers, she remembered the father saying her a wild seed, does that mean she was born from a concubine? Chapter 39 - 39 A Change Of Taste? "Your mother is not mine, Why should I go?" "..." Jing Xi looked at her in disbelief, She was so close to the chance of spending some time with him, why was she acting like this. But mother has already asked to see her... "You really don''t want to come?" "I don''t" "This is the last time I am asking you! Do you really don''t want to come?" Jing Xi still couldn''t believe in what he was seeing, why was she not even a little tempted? "You are disturbing my breakfast! I already said I don''t want to go!" Jing Yi replied and continued to eat ,"..." Jing Xi looked at her with a stunned look, he pulled the chair next to her and took a seat,"Jing Yi, you are overdoing your act! Be careful, or I will really not take you with me" "..." Jing Yi was speechless, why was this young brother being so persistant? "Would you really not come, Jingyi?" "..." Jing Yi looked up from the bowl and gave him a blank look, this Jing Family had already been too cruel to the old Jing Yi, though they were rich they had no character at all! "Are you bothered, because the princess will not accept your invitation?" "..." Jing Xi looked at her up and down, she looked exactly same but why her behavior changed this drastically?He also noticed she wasn''t wearing any makeup and looked much beautiful than before. "My mother wants you to come!" "Then tell her, I am not available" Jing Yi continued to eat once again, "Jing Yi, Do you want your father to come and get you?" She recalled that father with two faces, and a personality of a snake. She really didn''t want to see that ''father'' again! ~ Jingyi finished her breakfast and changed into a formal dress. Jing Xi was waiting in the middle of the living room, his hands lazily inside his pocket. Hearing the soft sound of footsteps, he lifted his eyes and was stunned. She has a pleated nude color dress reaching to ankles, and a little pattern on the hem, which made her figure look slimmer and perfect. Her long voluminous and bouncy hair hung beautifully in front of her chest. Even without make-up, her beauty was breathtaking. The air of elegance and grace she carried with her was natural. "..." was this scene for real? Jingyi went to the entrance to change shoes, Jing Xi came out of his daze moments later and quickly followed her. "Miss Jing, I will not object you going to your father''s house, but please remember to come before dinner. Master Lu wants to eat home tonight" Butler Wu reminded, "..." Because Lu Ming wants to eat at home, she must come back in time? "I understand" Jing Yi looked at the pair of red thick high heels worn yesterday, and frowned. Why were the shoes so ugly here? It was so painful wearing them last day! "How many pairs of shoes do I have? Is there anything else?" she asked Butler Wu without turning, "..." Wu Bo looked at her somewhat differently,Those pair of heels were indeed to shiny and ugly but Jing Yi always like them, and these were her favorite shoes! Before marriage, Master Lu had prepared a lot of clothes and shoes for Jing Yi, but Jingyi had rejected them all saying her taste is different. Chapter 40 - 40 Super Unpleasant Songs Those clothes weren''t moved out from Jing Yi''s wardrobe even though, she never wore those in past. The shoes were still just like they were before... Recently, Miss Jing has come to wear those clothes Master Lu had chosen for her, now the shoes as well? "Yes, Miss Jing. I will be back in a moment" Wu Bo went to the warehouse to get a pair, and picked a pair of black leather flats and quickly went back to the living. Seeing these shoes, Jing Yi people smiled, "I like them!" Wu Bowas surprised. ~~~ Jingyi was sitting in Jing Xi''s small sports car. The music of Jing Xi''s latest album played inside the car. She quietly looked at the scenery outside the window, to the passing by buildings and the pedestrians. She thought of how different her country and this one is, this world, it''s clothes, culture all are completely in contrast of my. No matter how many times she sees it, she couldn''t help but be amazed. The diorama is called a TV set, and the jade thing is called a phone.It can allow two people communicate from afar! These things were magical and new to her, all this was too different that she was reminded of the home she was familiar with and had a sad feeling of homesickness creeping inside of her. "..." While Jing Xi was driving, he sneaked often glimpses of Jing Yi from time to time, how can she be so quiet? And why can''t he help himself from looking at her?! Like a quiet and elegant goddess, she continued to look outside. To divert his mind, Jing Xi changed the song to a loud rock song and sang along. The noise snapped Jing Yi back to reality, and she quickly looked at Jing Xi. "Hey! I am not a genius~~! I am not a genius~~! Ooooh! Genius is not so easy, geniuses are not born! yaayyy~~" The music was like a sound of crying wolf, and too loud that it caused an immediate headache and her ear to be hurt. She couldn''t help but snap, "How come there is such a bad song?! Is there a problem with the head of the singer?!!!" Jing Yi slammed her small hand bag toward the noisy radio and turned it off accidently. "..." Jing Xi has a face as black as coal. He has a voice of an angel! No one ever dared to criticize his songs! He slammed the brakes and the car came to an abrupt stop. "Jing Yiren! What do you mean?!" Jing Xi asked furiously, was she eating some bravery pills? How dare she insult his music?! "..." Jingyi turned to look at Jing Xi, It took a while to react and she pointed to the radio, "You sung this awful song?" "..." Jingxi was about to blow up! "It was really painful to listen!" Jing Yi complained, and every word she said stabbed Jing Xi''s heart, "Jing Yi, only because today is my mother''s birthday I am tolerating this" he warned "But from today, I won''t be signing your photos anymore! and don''t even think about going to another concerts!!" Saying that Jing Xi stepped on the accelerator, the car sped forward like crazy. "..." Jingyi didn''t knew what she said was wrong. She only gave an honest opinion.... Chapter 41 - 41 Crown Club Jing Xi slammed the accelerator and the car sped in full speed. "..." Jing Yi had no idea what she said to make the younger brother this angry. She only gave her honest opinion!Their destination, the Crown Club arrived soon.Jing Xi put on his sunglasses and mask and left the car closing the door too forcibly. After taking two steps, Jing Xi stopped. Instead of following him, Jing Yi was still sitting inside the car. "Are you waiting for me to open the door?" he snapped in a bitter sullen voice, H e hadn''t been able to recover from her words yet and could still hear them loud and clear. "..." But Jing Yi was not waiting for him to open the door, she simply had no idea how to open this kind of door! She knew Jing Xi was looking at her and expecting her to come out, but the royal blood in her veins didn''t allowed to ask help to a person who had been so disrespectful to her. Jing Xi was speechless. A gust of wind went past him. Giving up, he walked around the car and opened the door. The moment Jingyi stepped out off the car elegantly, Jing Xi eyes changed and he instinctively held the door like a gentleman. Jing Yi was surprised at the sudden change and paid a little attention to her steps. Suddenly she stumbled. Jing Xi caught her waist and pulled her, making the two of them too close and look intimate. None of them noticed when a click sound came from somewhere. Jing Yi stood up and looked at her ankle, it seemed her leg injury has yet to be completely healed. Jingxi also reacted, and quickly retracted his hand. A faint red blush was faintly visible, and he sneered disdainfully.Jing Yi glanced at him, and went forward inside the club by herself. The party was organized in a big private room, not only were the relatives present but also some of the friends were invited. Jing Yi was a little surprised as she hadn''t expected to this many people here. Not even Jing Xi has expected this. Once inside, Jing Xi also removed his glasses and mask rubbed his forehead feeling betrayed by his earlier emotions.Everyone smiled with Jing Yi''s arrival. "Yiren, you are big hero, now! We saw you on TV!" "Our Yiren really is something!" "Your action has helped the marshal get a lot of votes!" Jing Yi had no idea what the people meant.Jing De, her father watched her enter and quickly went to greet her. "Come over here, Yiren I will introduce you to the others" She turned away her face. "Yiren, that day I was wrong, I didn''t knew you actually helped the police" the father added, "..." Jing Yi''s mouth twitched at the man and she also realized that everyone was praising her for the thief that day. "You made such a big contribution to their Lu family. Did Lu Ming tell you anything?" Jingyi clearly knew what he meant, the only purpose she was invited here was to ask if the Lu Family is going to reward the Jing Family. Jing Yi''s gaze turned cold and she glanced at the person who brought her here. Jing Xi made an innocent face and quickly turned to the father, in an attempt to change the topic. "Father, the birthday was only for relatives, why are there so many people?" The faces of few around them changed immediately and looked at the idol with shock in their eyes. Chapter 42 - 42 Disgraceful Daughter "Ah! Please don''t mind! Jing Xi always talk like this! Don''t take it to the heart!" Father Jing pulled Jing Xi aside while trying to explain to the guests, "You are clearly using her" he said to his father as his eyes turned hard,the father paused and looked at his son with annoyed expressions, first Jing Yi and now he wants to question him as well? "Jing Xi! It''s been so long!" a female voice called, "Jing Xi, Please give me your autograph!" Jing Xi wanted to have some serious talk with his step-father but suddenly two of his cousins surrounded him requested for an autograph, soon the crowd around him increased. Jing De didn''t bothered with Jing Xi anymore and returned to Jing Yi to continue the topic. "Yiren! Has Lu Ming not talked about investing in our new project?!" "No" Jing Yi turned and left to keep her distance from Jing De,Jing De stiffened at that and continued following her. How did she changed this much? It was so disappointing! "Is there really nothing to say?" "No!" Jing Yi didn''t bothered looking back as she kept walking and increased her pace, Jing De was speechless. That day, Lu Ming had clearly been too kind with her, he was concerned and it could be said that he had even started liking Yiren. Jing Yi has done such a great thing and her contribution to the Marshal wasn''t small either, then why hadn''t Lu Ming done anything? Was he a miser? But that can''t be... "Yiren, think about it I am sure ---" he reconciled, "What do you want him to do? Spend money to fulfill that bottomless pit of your heart?" she snapped back, Jing Yi despised this man the most, he had been shamelessly following her and is a greedy selfish man. It was embarrassing that this person was her father! A vein popped on Jing De''s head, he clenched his fist and pointed at her. "You damn brat... "I brought you here, I gave you a better life! Don''t you think that I can''t throw you back to that poor village!!" His angry yellings gathered attentions of other relatives and guests, having no idea of the actual situation they only acted on what they thought happened. "Yiren, you shouldn''t be like that with your father!" "If it weren''t for your dad, your life would have been worse!" The words came from every direction, the relatives started criticizing her one by one.Jing Yi''s face turned darker when she heard his words. The people commenting in between didn''t even knew how despicable the father was, it was clear that he had been using previous Jing Yi as a mere pawn. But now she was Lu Ming;s wife, how can he treat her like that? A wicked smile formed on her lips which went unnoticed, followed by pearl like big and round tears falling from her eyes, "Father is right! I have not been helpful to the Jing family, I have failed and now I must heed to the father''s wished and return back to the village!" The club went silent and everyone''s attention was on her. Chapter 43 - 43 Sufferings Everyone went silent and looked at the crying daughter of the Jing family with surprised and shocked eyes. Especially Jing De, he wasn''t even sure how to react. He has been using this trick to threaten the Jing Yi for so long and now today in front of everyone was she trying to threaten him? Was she smart or dumb? What will he do if she actually leaves for the village? The Jing Corporation will loose Lu Ming''s favor and go bankrupt! From afar, Jing Xi heard Jing Yi''s word and chuckled. He never expected her to be this clever! She definitely knew what she was playing, at the moment she was family''s golden ticket, there was no way the old man would allow her to go... "..." Jing De reacted quickly and tried to approach her, but before he can even touch her she shrunk back and sobbed, Jingde was holding up an empty space and almost fell on the sofa. "..." Jing De stood straight and adjust his collar awkwardly. "Yiren! Daddy was only joking how can I ever watch you suffer..." Before Jing De could even finish, Jing Yi cried further, "Father.... knew I was suffering? But were you... ever aware of how much I suffered? Our clothes were always covered in mud, we don''t even have a shelter to protect us from the winter storms and stormy rains! At times...we didn''t even have any meal... we have to ask for rice from others and even...then...there were times when the dogs bullied and snatched our food..." When Jing Yi finished, her glistening eyes looked at Jing De,"In those times...where were you father?" The guests after hearing Jing Yi immediately pointed gazes filled with hatred at Jing De. How can he ever leave his own daughter in such harsh situations? On now he threatened to send her back? Is Jing De even a human? Jing Xi was also surprised after hearing her, he never thought she would have had such cruel times! Relatives started whispering between themselves, Jing De was busy trying to clear himself and jumped from one place to another and he made his efforts. But nothing seemed to work, in order to save his face he went to Jing Yi."Dad never asked you to go back! You can always stay here!" "But I can''t help the family" She complained,"That doesn''t matter! Dad can find his own way!" Jing De''s heart was as dark as coal as he spoke, "You really won''t send me back?" "No! Never!" Jing De secretly bit his teeth and glared at her, Jing Yi then found a sofa and took a seat, there weren''t many relatives around but Jing Xi was sitting nearby. "I had no idea you suffered so much in the past" Jing Xi looked at her sympathetically, "No wonder you are so uncultured, it''s because of your unpleasant past..." "..." Jing Yi glanced at him, Jingxi continued: "I apologize to you for what happened in the past!" Chapter 44 - 44 Not Siblings Jing Yi didn''t paid attention to his words and pointed at the panicked father who was still trying his very hard, "Is he that way with you too?" "He does not have that authority over me, he is not my real father after-all" "He is not your father? Who is your father then?"Jing Yi fixedly looked at him. "..." Jing Xi looked at her inexplicably, raised his long, soft hand and touched her forehead, "Have you lost your memory? My mom repaid your father''s help by marriage" "..." Jing Yi looked at him and thought about a good excuse, "Err... Yes! Recently I have been forgetting things!" "..." "..." Though he wasn''t her sibling, she found him a better person than she initially thought. But that was no reason for her to stay any longer in this place, especially not with that greedy selfish man, Jing De! Jingyi stood up and faintly said, "Don''t come looking for me in the future" with that she turned and went toward the exit, Jing Xi was speechless. He tried to follow her but she soon disappeared amidst the crowd. Jingyi had just walked to the door, when the door suddenly opened. Standing at the door, was a beautiful woman with an air of elegance. Jingyi was frozen in her place. Although she had never seen this woman before, she was so similar to her mother... She was very beautiful, with curly brown hair, with a nice dress that reached to her knees and sharp high heels, As soon as she entered, she smiled gently at Jing Yi. "Yiren, It''s nice to see you" Even the smile was so similar like Jing Yi''s mother. Her mother had died long ago while saving the emperor Since then she has become a little princess of the palace, Although she does not quite remember her mother''s appearance, but inside her memory she still knew that gentle and kind smile. She knew this woman wasn''t her mother, but she still felt deep emotions and subconsciously said in a soft faint voice, "Mom..." Hearing this, Jing Xi and Jing Xi''s mother, and Jing De who was nearby suddenly lost their voices and all turned around to look at Jing Yi. For some reason Jing Yi felt close to this person... But she couldn''t understand what was wrong with the sudden surprised reactions. The mother smiled and stepped closer to her, a little excited look appeared over Jing Yi''s face, the mother softy rubbed her head, "Yiren," she said as she handed her a red envelope, "You''re such a nice girl" Chapter 45 - 45 Birthday The mother was like a beautiful autumn lily as she smiled and stepped closer to Jing Yi, gently rubbed her head and caused Jing Yi''s eyes to glisten. "Yiren," she said as she handed her a red envelope, "You''re such a nice girl" "..." Jing Yi glanced at Jing Xi, He nodded his head and she took the red envelope. As soon as the autumn lily entered, Jing De''s personalty quickly changed, that arrogant greedy look on his face turned as gentle as soft water. Pulling her hand, he complained, "Why are you late! I was waiting since forever!" "I was only doing my hair" she laughed, And then the two went to further inside. Jing Yi didn''t expected this embarrassing, greedy, money-seeking father to show such a tender side in front of the autumn lily. This bad guy has a soft spot after all... Jing Yi was now hesitant to go home, Jing Xi took the advantage of her hesitation and quickly stepped forward taking her hand in his. "It''s lunch time, my mom has arrived, don''t even think about leaving!!" "..." The table was filled with gossips and chats making Jing Yi feel a little bored, Jingxi next to her has his head buried inside the jade like thing called ''smartphone''. On the screen, the two armored knights tried to kill each other with strange weapons. Jingxi was playing the latest popular game he had invested in. He glanced at Jing Yi looking at his phone with curious eyes. Was this game even more interesting than watching him? He noticed that she hadn''t looked once at him with admiring eyes today, this Jing Yi was very strange... "Want to play?" he asked pushing back his thoughts, Jing Yi didn''t quite understand what he was doing, so she asked with a small voice. "What is this...?" "One of my endorsements, gimme your phone, I will install it for you" he opened his slender beautiful palm toward her, "I...don''t have that" she blinked and replied some time later, Jing Xi looked at her with emotions he had never felt for her, it was a look of admiration...she looked so beautiful! Whether it was her dress or her lack of makeup, he didn''t knew she simply looked stunning and even the blinking of her eyes was adorable... He really wanted to pinch her skin! Jing Xi reluctantly suppressed his impulses and cleared his throat averting his eyes, "It''s time to cut the cake, follow me" he stood up and walked toward the crowd, "..." Jing Yi did not knew what he meant but she still followed him, earlier she had planned to leave early and hence didn''t paid much attention to the surroundings but now when Jing Xi finally stopped what she saw made her eyes grow wide in surprise. It was something she had never seen before. Fruits and flowers were piled above the big cake, it was very beautiful! Everyone sang a birthday song as the autumn lily blew the candles. Jing Xi personally cut a piece of cake for Jing Yi and handed her. Jingyi had seen such a creamy and fragrant thing for the first time, this world never stopped to amaze her! She bent a little and inhaled the sweet scent from the cake and accidentally got some of the cream on her nose. Upon seeing it, Jing Xi snickered was quick to snap two shots of her from his phone.Jing Yi pouted and looked at the white tip of her nose. Jing Xi couldn''t help but poke her head: "You are so cute as our family!" Jing Yi gave him a cold look, put a spoonful of cake in her mouth, that only made him laugh further as he said, "Since when did you became this much fun?" The mother on the side looked at the two of them getting together so well and smiled.The birthday party and the lunch was over by two in the noon. When Jing Xi was on the way to drop Jing Yi, he couldn''t help the smile formed on his face. Chapter 46 - 46 Turned Into A Black Coal "And there I though why you changed so sudden, now I know your target is changed to my mom, isn'' it?" Jing Yi looked at him coldly, when was the last she had seen such a narcissistic person? Probably never? "Don''t think I don''t know what you are thinking, I know you still like me" he added ,Jing Yi took a deep breath and turned to look out of the window. She really can''t stand this brother who is always fantasizing, after a little thinking she borrowed the words Lu Ming had once said, and turned to look coldly at Jing Xi. "Don''t think too much, even if your stripped naked and lying on my bed, I will not spare you even a glance" "Yiren...!" Jing Xi stepped on the brakes and stared at the Jing Yi, He was still a half year younger than him, how come an elder sister is speaking like this to her younger brother! But since when teasing his elder sister like this was normal? When he heard her, his face turned as red as tomato.Pointing at the Jing Yi, he said with his voice filled with anger and embarrassment, "That--That is never going to happen! I will never do that, JingJing!" Jing Yi turned back to watch the scenery outside the window. The air inside the car suddenly became a lot weird, the atmosphere was awkward and heavy.Jing Yi kept quite even though the air felt a quite strange. She glanced at Jing Xi, he averted his gaze and even his neck turned red as he stuttered, "You... really don''t like me...JingJing?" "Is there trouble driving? Drive me home" "..." Jing Xi responded and started the car, but when he dare to look at her eyes from the mirror, he noticed her not looking at him. But as soon she noticed his gaze and turned look at him, Jing Xi immediately averted his gaze. And he instantly became red. Jingxi first carried the Jingyi people to the digital market, and put on his black mask and black glasses before stepping outside and opening the door for her. "Are you cold?" she asked, "..." Jingxi did not understand her meaning and shook his head, "Why are wrapping your face like a black coal?" Jing Xi took off the sunglasses and stared at her, with a low voice he said, "Ain''t I doing this for you? I am a celebrity, you can''t go freely in the public with me otherwise! I am doing this all for you, will you still call me a black coal?" He has never been so overwhelmed by Jingxi! Today is the smell of the Jingyi people is worthless! With that being said he took her inside the mall. But Jing Yi couldn''t understand, what a celebrity meant? and why a celebrity can''t show his face "Don''t worry, you''ll be alright" she said, In her country only those who do bad things will wrap themselves in black. Chapter 47 - 47 Are You Teasing Me? "..." Jing Xi didn''t knew how to respond and took her into the mall elevator and went directly to the VIP floor. Jing Xi quickly selected a nice smartphone with same model as his for Jing Yi. He swiped his card on the counter and immediately sat on the sofa Jing Yi was siting. He installed the game. A waiter brought the two glasses of lemonade. Jing Xi placed the phone on Jing Yi''s hand, "Here, save my number and don''t forget to call me from time to time" "How....?" Jing Xi looked at her silently, and poked the call button on her screen with his slender finger, "Dial 138XXXXXXX" Jing Yi had the ten numbers remembered by then and she pressed the buttons one by one on the screen. "Press the green button" he added, She followed him and then placed the phone near her ear just as she had seen Lu Ming do that. There was really a voice inside. A small smile formed over her lips. "Who is this?" "..." "What the hell?" Jing Xi frowned, the phone in his pocket didn''t sound at all! Jing Yi people looked at him with a poker face, "It is a woman''s voice" "Huh? Is the number you entered wrong? What did she say?" "The number you are trying is switched off" she replied, "..." What happened to Jingyi people today? Was she playing with him? Jing Xi pulled his phone from his pocket and noticed his phone really was switched off. He sighed and then taught Jing Yi how to play a match in the game, he helped her register an account, selected a character for her and taught her further. Jing Yi found the game very interesting. The afternoon was spent like that. When she went back home, it was already half past five. *** Chairman Lu''s Office, Lu Corporation Today Lu Ming was working overtime until 6 o''clock and was about to finish up when Li Wei on the other side placed an entertainment magazine she had just bought in an envelope and sent her subordinate to the chairman''s office. Lu Ming''s head was buried inside a file. The subordinate knocked on the door and entered inside placing the envelope on his table. He didn''t bothered lifting his head as he said, "Coffee"The subordinate nodded and immediately went back outside to get him a coffee. Lu Ming closed the and opened the envelope, inside was magazine, the front cover having big character read, ''Jing Xi with mysterious girlfriend entering the clubhouse!'' Lu Ming''s eyes turned deep and cold. This mysterious girlfriend only showed half of her side, only her long hair and her eyes were visible. Jing Xi was standing very close to her, supporting her arm, their bodies almost stuck together. The two relatives didn''t looked like a relative at all. It was not easy to recognize the woman, but Lu Ming recognized that dress and that figure very well. Lu Ming immediately picked up the landline phone on his desk and called at home. Chapter 48 - 48 Furious Lu Ming immediately picked up the landline phone on his desk and called the phone at home.The call was quickly connected. "Jing Yi went out today?" "Yes, Mr. Lu, she went for a family party and has returned now" Just as Lu Ming hung the phone, the subordinate came in with a cup of coffee, he threw away the magazine at her feet. She flinched making the freshly brewed hot coffee splash on her hand. "Who asked you to put this folder in the file?!" "..." The subordinate did not understand what was going on, and she had no idea what she was supposed to do, the pain in her hand made it difficult to stand but she didn''t dare drop the cup, "Chairman Lu, I... I don''t know..." before she can finish the office door was pushed open, and Li Wei entered inside holding a document in her hand, anxiously saying, "Xiao Zhang! You got it wrong! I asked you to take this one!" "..." The subordinate who was called Xiao Zhang did not understand what was happening. She remembered very well what envelope she was asked to deliver. "Get out!" Lu Ming yelled at the two, The subordinate nervously went out while Li held a smirk on her face as she closed the door. Inside the office, the air has become too heavy for Lu Ming. He loosened his tie. Has Jing Yi acted that innocently only to fool him later? Lu Ming mood was spoiled and no longer he had any desire to work, with a harsh movement he swiped all the documents and slammed his hands on table pushing it back furiously. The computer and other contents fell down with a loud shattering sound.He grabbed his coat from the chair and left the office. Li Wei, who was standing at the door and eavesdropping, did not expect that Lu Ming would to be this angry. Even when the video of Jing Yi stripping appeared all over the news channels, he acted ignorant because he had already made his mind to divorce her. Li Wei was doing this only to persuade Lu Ming for the divorce quickly and not delay because of her suicide...But what happened to him today to react like this? Li Wei felt bad about this and decided to knock on the door, but just as she raised her hand the door was slammed open from the inside. Lu Ming didn''t even bare a glance at her as he coldly strode away. "Chairman Lu! Where are you going?" Lu Ming didn''t responded and continued walking forward.Li Wei followed Lu Ming''s footsteps and stopped in front of the elevator to remind him, "Chairman Lu, There are lot of pending files" "Move!" Lu Ming''s gaze was freezing as he pushed her away and entered inside the elevator, "..." Li Wei had followed Lu Ming for so many years, not to mention that they grew up together, even their fathers were friends. And the marshal had always favored her.After knowing Lu Ming for so many years, he didn''t even married her and now he just pushed her away like this? Li Wei succumbed into tears and heart felt wounded. She had the qualifications to be a lot more than a secretary but for the sake of love she became his secretary... *** Jingyi was unaware of the approaching storm as she laid on her bed played games, the sound of brakes took her attention and she quickly went to the balcony to look down. Lu Ming came from the car, but why did he looked so angry?Just as Jingyi stood on the balcony and wondered, the door was pushed open. Lu Ming''s face was colder then ever. He did not stop at all and went to the balcony to grab the Jingyi''s wrists.. He dragged her outside. Chapter 49 - 49 Lets Get Divorced Lu Ming''s face was colder then ever. He did not stop at all and went to the balcony to grab the Jingyi''s wrists. He dragged her outside. "..."Jingyi didn''t understand what happened, his painful grip around her hand made the smartphone fell down. "Uncle...! Where are you taking me?" Lu Ming''s face was so dark, he glared at the Jingyi once and she lost all her words. Lu Ming dragged Jing Yi down the stairs, his speed was fast and fierce, Jingyi people could not keep up with his rhythm, and stumbled several times. She even accidentally knocked over a potted plant in the way, and the sound attracted the butler and the servants. "Master Lu..." Butler Wu saw the look in Lu Ming''s eyes and didn''t dare speak any further. "Uncle... what are you doing?" Jing Yi struggled to try to break her wrists free, but couldn''t Lu Ming dragged her out of the house and released her wrists, The cool breeze kissed her, and the light nightdress she was wearing didn''t helped. She was still trying to understand what could she have done to make him this angry, though she shouldn''t feel it, his anger for her made her feel grievous. "Jing Yiren, let''s get divorced" Lu Ming''s eyes were cold and his words were like sharp arrows that stabbed Jing Yi''s heart Jing Yi stood in same place not moving, not sure how to react. For a while, Jing Yi looked fixedly Lu Ming''s beautiful face.Her heart felt shallow and painful.The chest is shallow but long and painful! A word and a word faintly asked: "Uncle...are you leaving me?" "Yes!" Lu Ming answer was immediate and firm as iron and steel, he pushed her back and shut the door close. Jing Yi''s feet in rabbit slippers stumbled and she fell down.Jing Yi bit her lips tightly and stood up looking at the closed doors for a while. Something was uncomfortable inside of her heart. She didn''t wanted to leave, she wanted to ask for forgiveness... But at the moment, Uncle''s sharp, cold words made her feel very uncomfortable, her self-esteem, proud didn''t allowed her to beg. In this foreign, the only person she can rely doesn''t wants her then what else could she do? Beside try to survive on her own? Jing Yi slowly turned around, moved down on the stairs and walked forward toward the iron gates. A cold breeze blew, and she shivered subconsciously hugging her arms. "..." Lu Ming stood by a window, watching the her shadow dissapear and feeling his heart slowly sink. He thought she would be as same as before, crying and screaming, asking him not to divorce, asking him not to chase her away... But she didn''t even gave him an explanation, she just turned and left ..It''s not the style of Jingyi he knew. She really changed. Didn''t she? Chapter 50 - 50 "You will regret what you are doing today!" Lu Ming''s mouth felt like lead as he spat bitterly. "Wu Bo, bring me those papers!"He turned and stormed inside his study. When Wu Bo entered Lu Ming''s study with documents, Lu Ming was standing against the glass window with casual attire, his face was calm as if nothing happened. Wu Bo placed down the documents on the table and looked at Lu Ming''s indifference. "Master, the documents are here" Lu Ming did not looked like he heard, did not give a glimmer of response, and stayed calm and lost in the scenery outside. Wu Bo placed the mobile phone that he on the staircase on the table, as he added "This is Miss Jing''s mobile phone" He bowed and took his leave unable to bear that strange cold silent atmosphere any longer. The door opened and closed silently. The villa was once again quiet. Lu Ming looked at the gate of the courtyard in the distance. The street lights of the dark street were still bright. Jing Yi stopped in the bus stop across the street. There were still a few people standing she doesn''t know what to say and pointed her small finger at the billboard. Seeing the billboard, Lu Ming''s eyes turned darker and deep, the coldness his body emitted turned chillier. The billboard on the bus stop was of the chocolate advertisement of Jing Xi, where he was holding a chocolate in front of his handsome face. There was also a slogan under the chocolate, ''My love for you is like this silk!'' Probably because of the cold, Jingyi talked by repeatedly moving her hands. After a long while a bus stopped and Jing Yi went inside. Lu Ming''s cold face lifted an eyebrow, it was unexpected, she was penniless and took a bus? The bus disappeared in the far road, and he stood feeling grievous as she went further away from him. Even Lu Ming did not know why he felt that way for Jing Yi. He turned and sat on the chair in front of the table, as he flipped through the pages containing information about the investment Lu Corp did in Jing''s company after the marriage. But this simple task turned out to be frustrating, he couldn''t focus and ended up tossing the file away. His eyes then fell on the phone.He didn''t remember her using a phone these days, but was she using it?Lu Ming''s slender fingers picked the phone and he unlocked it. A picture of a game appeared. There was a picture of a bunch of animated fantasy people scattered around, some walked, some flew. Lu Ming has been interested in games, but at the moment in the middle of the screen stood a woman with name ''Yiren'' above her, attracting Lu Ming''s attention. Next to her was a red-haired man, in a golden outfit, bearing the words ''Jing Xi'' above his head. Suddenly the phone buzzed and came a private message. Jing Xi: [ Did you loose connection just now? I got you a purple dress! ] "...." Chapter 51 - 51 Princess On Bus [Yiren, If you will call me big brother, I will give it to you!] "..." Seeing this sentence, Lu Ming''s chest was inexplicably annoyed. When he saw the magazine report today, he suspected that the media might be exaggerating the actual situation but nevertheless he couldn''t suppress his anger. At this moment, Jing Xi''s words were just like pouring oil on fire.Suspicious, Lu Ming immediately opened the previous chats. It was only one sided though, Jing Xi: [What are you doing?] Jing Xi: [Hey! Are you ignoring me?] Jing Xi: [You don''t have to follow another man! Aint''t I enough already?!] Lu Ming slammed the phone against the wall and with a loud sound it shattered. He pulled his own smartphone and called Li Wei, his voice was contrary to his swirling emotion, "Cease all ties with Jing Corp" with those simple cam words he hung up, "Jing Yiren...we will see how far you can go" Lu Ming''s face turned as dark a stormy night. Jing De will surely send his daughter back to apologize after this! *** Once Jing Yi entered the bus, she approached the driver and with an innocent look she told him about her circumstances, "Big brother, your sister have no money with her right. Can you wait until I pay you back?" The driver had seen such a thing for the first time, but that wasn''t the concern! This woman in front of him was no other than the courageous lady he had seen on the TV! With bright excited and almost childish eyes he asked, "Aren''t you the heroine who bare-handedly caught that international drug lord?! You can ride for free in my bus any time!" One of the other passengers also recognized Jing Yi, as the wife of their male god Lu Ming. The outside world was a cruel and bad place for such a delicate lady, he immediately concluded that she must in some sort of problem to use a bus after being such a rich lady. He eagerly volunteered to throw out two to bills to the ticket booth in front. "I will pay for you!" "Thank you!" Jing Yi was grateful for both the driver and the passenger to be so considerate, she found herself an empty seat and sat there. She was sitting in a bus for the first time and had no idea where to go. She could go back to the original Jing Yi''s family house, but she didn''t know the address. Someone had told her on the bus stop that this bus directly goes to Jing Xi''s workplace, hence she decided to try her luck. He can take her back to the family! But then again, Jing Yi was riding the bus for the first time, she had no idea where to go. In the end she reached the last stop and the urged her to leave. The place was somewhere remote in sub-urbs. No village was visible, not even a store, a long road stretched in front lined by weeds and stinky plants. With slow unsure steps, she walked forward. The sky was gradually darkening, and the temperature around turned more colder by each passing second.Jing Yi was almost frozen from the cold and tired from hunger. After walking for a while, she saw a light that sent a warm sense of hope in her heart. After increasing her pace and reaching closer, she found the small house empty, but the light was still on. She stopped in front the glass door, inside were three tall boxes with ATM written on them, and a long bench on a corner Jingyi didn''t knew what it was and stayed outside for a while before her eyes fell on a button on the wall of the door, and pressed it subconsciously. As a result, the glass door slid open and a wave of warm air hit air. "...."Jing Yi immediately entered inside and allowed herself to enjoy the warmth. Chapter 52 - 52 Princess Is Gone "..."Jingyi immediately entered the house and allowed the warmth to calm her shivering self. She went toward a bench and sat down.It was too comforting after the chilly walk outside, soon she fall asleep without realizing. *** Lu Ming expected Jing De to contact him within an hour.But the result was different than expected, within less than ten minutes, Jing De had arrived at the gates of Lu Mansion and requesting for an audience with Lu Ming. But Jing Yi was not with him. As a result Lu Ming didn''t bothered with the Jing De and heartlessly sat inside his study with blank eyes while Jing De waited for half an hour outside in cold, hoping his son in law would try to understand his reasoning. Wu Bo in front of the iron gates tried to remind the old man several times, "Mr. Jing, you should get going, master is too busy right now. He won''t be able to see you" "But I must see Chairman Lu! he can''t just break the relationship like that! we are a family! I am his father in law! how can he not see me---!" "Mr. Jing!" Wu Bo was furious now, and interrupted Jing De, "Kindly, pay attention to your attitude! You can discuss everything after you bring Miss Jing!" He had already told this to Jing De several times, but the old man was too stubborn. Jing De concluded all the trouble are caused by his bastard daughter. "This girl! When will she stop bringing misfortunes on us!!" Jing De was grounding his teeth as he turned on his foot and stomped away to find Jing Ye.But no matter how much he tried, he couldn''t find her. He searched all her favorite bars and clubs, even all the shopping places she loves! She didn''t have any friends either, then where did she disappeared? After being unable to find any trace of her, Jing De asked Jing Xi for assistance. He even contacted her old classmates and other relatives as well, the two of them did as best as they could. But it all turned out to be in vain. All his life, Jing Xi has hated Jing Yi and didn''t cared if she lived or died. But today there was an inexplicable nervousness inside of him when he found her nowhere. He even used radio broadcasts, and asked in his public WeChat to find her! He has already stated in Weibo that the woman in the photo is his sister, and the family was having a meal! He even posted a photo of the family eating together. Jing Xi, didn''t knew if Lu Ming saw it... But that shouldn''t matter much, everyone in the whole S-City how much Lu Ming dislikes his wife, him throwing her out of the house was bound to happen one day. Even though the actual situation was exaggerated by media, due to the fact that Jing Yi had previously been into much more scandalous situations, it was highly agreeable that Lu Ming would never believe the truth... ~ 12 o'' Clock, Midnight ~ The night has been exceptionally cold, Jing Xi stopped by a petrol pump to refuel his tank, when all of sudden his phone buzzed and he saw a message on his Wiebo. ''I saw this woman on the bus today!'' Jing Xi immediately replied to this person: "Which bus?!" "790!" *** Wu Bo was worried about Lu Ming, he hadn''t moved from the study and his hostile cold air was frightening than ever. "Master Lu, it''s too late now, the Jing familywon''t contacting us tonight, you should take a rest now..." Lu Ming''s face was calm and composed, his head was buried in a notebook as he scribbled ferociously. Without lifting his eyes he asked, "What time is it?" "11:30!" Chapter 53 - 53 I Have Divorced You! "11:30, Master Lu!" "..." Lu Ming paused his hand and sat up straight, Wu Bo caught a glimpse of Lu Min''s diary... ''3 August, Waking up this morning I realized that what I feared so far has occurred. She changed back to the person she was before....'' Lu Ming shut the diary. "No calls?" Lu Ming asked faintly, almost tiredly, "Mr. Jing has called, the whole family is trying to find Miss Jing, but so far they have not been able to find her..." Lu Ming''s blank eyes turned sharp and he pushed back the chair, his hands slammed on the table, anger clearly radiating from him all over. "Why don''t you tell me earlier?!" he thought she would have returned to her family, But instead, she was missing at this late hour and even the whole Jing family has been unable to find her?! She has no money! no phone! and with the air being this cold outside, where could she go? Wu Bo was nervous, "B-But Master Lu, you asked to not bother you until Miss Jing arrives..." Lu Ming didn''t stop once as he grabbed his coat and stormed outside the study. When Lu Ming started the car, he put on a Bluetooth headset and called the assistant Li Wei and told her to contact the Bus Jurisdiction Headquarters. After a while, Lu Ming''s mobile phone rang, and the bus bureau came over! The other party respectfully said: "Mr. Lu! What are you asking for?" "At 3:45 this afternoon, a woman in a white night-suit boarded bus no 790, give me her details" "Mr. Lu, Let me check the monitoring of that bus!" Lu Ming stayed on the line and continued to drive over the 790 bus route, after about ten minutes, a reply came, "Mr. Lu! Is the lady you are looking for wearing a white doll night-suit, and cotton slippers? " "Yes" "She left the bus in the western suburbs!" "..." Western suburbs? Why will she run all the way to the countryside? He disconnected the call and raced his car. *** Jing Yi looked at the crab powder dumplings in front of her eyes and her favorite shark fins, her mouth watered. Just as she was about to start eating, suddenly there was a roar, "I order you to step back!" The emperor suddenly appeared in front of her, his robes flew in the air and her dumplings disappeared. The little Jing Yi wanted to cry as she looked at her uncle with moist pleading eyes, "Uncle, the princess is hungry!" "I have divorced you if you want to eat find someone else to feed you!" "..." divorce? be when did she got married? In front of her, the emperor''s robes suddenly changed and turned into a black suit, his long hair instantly became cropped and short. The vague appearance was getting clearer and clearer, and a pair of cold eyes looked intently at her. Was it still a dream? Jing Yi''s blinked her eyes, and then snapped them wide open. Seeing that his handsome face was still in front of her, she thought she was still dreaming. She sat up straight and turned around, the warm ''ATM'' house was still here. "Why are you here?" Lu Ming''s eyes turned darker and darker. Chapter 54 - 54 Crab Dumplings Lu Ming''s eyes turned darker and darker. When he first arrived, he found that she was sleeping soundly, step by step he came closer and noticed how delicately her body has curled, he had never seen her in such a vulnerable state...a warmth came to his heart when he found her, the warmth turned into a painful heat as he walked closer... Jing Yi looked so innocent, and beautiful... Fortunately, she found herself a warm place. When he came in, she was sleeping so soundly that he didn''t wake her up and instead decided to stay and look at her. Her cute little mouth mumbled some incoherent words. Then her expressions turned painful, "Uncle..." A sensation passed his heart as he heard her calling in her sleep, never had this nickname felt like this before. Even in dreams, she was calling for him... does that mean she is dreaming about him? Lu Ming felt a pain in his heart, and subconsciously he reached out to her. Jing Yi''s long eyelashes fluttered twice, and Lu Ming retracted her hand immediately as she saw her slowly open her eyes. Followed by her fierce voice, "Why are you here?!" "Is this the place you want to sleep tonight?" he regained his cold demeanor and straightened himself, "..." Jing Yi had an accusing pout and didn''t reply, Didn''t he say that he wanted to get divorced and threw her out of the house? Why is he here now? "I have crab dumplings on my car, if you don''t want to eat, I will be leaving then" Lu Ming turned away and walked toward the glass doors as he pressed the button, The door opened, and a wave of cold wind poured inside. Lu Ming strode outside. The hot room was suddenly cold and her stomach complained. She was hungry, very hungry, immediately she jumped off the bench and followed Lu Ming. A warrior doesn''t fight wars with an empty stomach! When she entered the car, Lu Ming turned on the interior lights and adjusted the heat to the maximum. But instead of rushing to drive home, the car was turned around and parked under a big tree across the road. He handed her a paper bag. Then he lowered the window of his side by half and lit a cigarette. Lu Ming rarely smokes, and when he usually does, he only takes a few drags of the cigarette and not smoke much. Mostly it was on some stressful day of work, to relieve some stress. At this moment, he was having a headache because of the stressful time Jing Yi had given him. The previous Jing Yi never affected him like this. But after he found out she hadn''t been home yet, his heart couldn''t calm down. Yiren on the other side had sneezed twice felt a stuffy nose, but she was still able to smell the delicious dumplings. Even when she was very hungry, she ate elegantly like a princess, only her pace was a lot faster than normal. She used to be punished in the room to stay hungry by the emperor, but eventually, he would always sneak up and give her crab dumplings. Later, he told her that he was only punishing in front of others and actually doted her in his heart. Thinking of this, Jing Yi secretly glanced at Lu Ming. He looked distant but also a little embarrassed. Chapter 55 - 55 What Are You Hiding? The look in his eyes was cold and distant, but there were also hints of sadness in his eyes. At one o''clock in the morning, the atmosphere was extra quiet. In addition to the silver moonlight and the light from the ATM, there was no other street light. The cold air was mixed with the smell of plants and weeds. Jing Yi turned back to her buns and continued to eat. Two buns remained in the paper bag, Jing Yi felt her throat dry and looked for some water. She turned around but didn''t found any water, though her eyes fell upon a slim book. The cover had an image of her and Jing Xi, from last noon. Jing Yi was surprised. "Uncle, how did I get here with Jing Xi?" her curious voice asked, "..." Jing Yi''s voice pulled back Lu Ming''s from his thoughts, his hand resting on the window flicked the cigarette butt and he turned to look at her. This magazine was intentionally bought together when he bought buns on the way. His sharp eyes looked at her, waiting for a reaction or for an explanation. "This drawing looks so realistic!" Lu Ming closed the window, and in a cold tone he replied, "It''s a captured picture, not a drawing" "..." Jing Yi had no idea what he meant. However, from Lu Ming''s cold voice, it seemed like she had committed some grave sin. With a faint "Oh", she put the magazine back in its place. Lu Ming: "..." He raised an eyebrow, but she continued to held that indifferent look. Seeing that she was still not going to explain, he inhaled sharply. "Tomorrow''s weekend, we will go to The Civil Affairs Bureau on Monday" "..." Jing Yi people only understand that he had picked her from here only to leave her after two days. Jing Yi looked at Lu Ming and replied with a faint, "Oh" Just as the sound left her, his face turned fifty shades darker and his held a look as if he wanted someone to strangle to death. "..." Jing Yi felt as if she had made him angry, but she didn''t did anything! She didn''t even said anything! But that exactly was the issue. Lu Ming approached, which caused Jing Yi to instinctively shrunk back. Lu Ming had leaned close to grab the seat belt, but because of Jing Yi''s reaction she was now in his way and he couldn''t secure her in a seat belt. Her moist eyes looked at him with fear and tension. "What are you hiding?" he asked but his voice was only a whisper, due to the closeness she heard him though, "..." Jing Yi was scared he would hit her, "Do you think I am going to kiss you? You want to keep yourself pure for Jing Xi?" "..." What was he talking about? "I am telling you, even if you strip yourself naked and lay on my bed, I will spare you a glance" "..." But this was a long-known fact to her, Lu Ming''s words were filled with anger and irony. They were so close that he could feel her fragrance hit his senses, the air in the whole car was full of her taste... His heart calmed down a little only to be rushing again. Lu Ming quickly pulled the seat belt and buckled her. Then he opened the window and started the car. A series of actions took only a few seconds. The cold from the outside diluted the scent inside of the car. Lu Ming''s heart was finally able to calm. Chapter 56 - 56 Misunderstood Her In the middle of the night, the two did not speak in the car, the air was silent and awkward. The only sound was of the car driving above the road. Since it was already so late, there were very few cars and no traffic. They drove straight only stopping by the two red lights. They arrived at home soon enough. Jing Yi went to her room and was about to go inside the bathroom, when Lu Ming came inside, walked over the bed and grabbed a pillow. He walked away without stopping. With a loud thud, the door was closed. "..." Jing Yi doesn''t understand what was happening. Why was he not sleeping here today? Jing Yi went inside the bathroom and took a shower. Lu Ming returned to his study and turned on the computer. Just then his phone buzzed. In addition to the Jing Family who else would dare to disturb him at this hour. It was Jing Xi. Lu Ming looked indifferently at the phone and left it vibrating on the table. After nearly ten seconds of silence, he picked up the phone without hesitation. There was a panicked voice on the other side of the phone, "Chairman Lu, My sister is missing!" "..." Lu Ming frowned, This is the first time that Lu Ming has heard ''sister'' for Jing Yi coming from Jing Xi''s mouth. He used to call the Jing Yi with her surname. Sometimes he even called her name but that was only to order her around, And now, this so-called ''brother'' actually acknowledged Jing Yi as his sister. "I don''t know what happened between you two, but if it is because of the media reports today, I am really sorry! I took my sister to the Crown Club for my mother''s birthday today, where it was held! That photo is just a bit misplaced, so it looks awkward! How can I wear a mask and kiss her! Lu, you have a misunderstanding, help me find my sister! She is a girl and out in the night so late, I am afraid something bad might happen! " "..." Lu Ming did not respond, As long as he remembered those words he had said to Jing Yi on private chat, he can never forgive. Lu Ming''s silence made Jing Xi more nervous, thinking that Lu Ming did not believe his words, he added: "If you don''t believe, you can call my dad, he has been..." "She is already home" Lu Ming hung the phone with those four words. He clutched the phone tightly and stared at the phone screen with deep eyes. Obviously, he misunderstood her! The time was 2:30 AM Had she slept already? *** Jing Yi turned over and over in bed and didn''t fall asleep. Probably because she and Lu Ming had slept together so long that the bed now felt empty. As long as she thought about the remaining two days she has, she couldn''t feel at ease. Not because she had to leave, but because she has to worry about clothing, food, and shelter. She felt as if she was being abandoned but what hurt more was the feeling of being hated and being disgraced. It made her heart more grievous. Was she this despicable? Chapter 57 - 57 Strange Feelings She was despicable, wasn''t she? Perhaps she can talk to him and ask him to let her stay after the divorce... Thinking of that Jing Yi shook her head, she can''t ask this to the person who clearly wants her to leave! And her pride was more important than her life! Just as Jing Yi fell almost asleep, she heard some movement outside the door. Footsteps passed by her room and then downstairs. "..." was it...? After about five minutes, the footsteps ascended the staircase and stopped outside Jing Yi''s room. Jing Yi immediately shut her eyes and pretended to be asleep. A sound of the knob turning, and then the door was opened. A mellow yellow light streamed inside, along with a delicious smell. This smell made Jing Yi want that delicious thing. As the footsteps came closer, she could tell it was Lu Ming. But unlike before, his atmosphere seemed much familiar and softer. Lu Ming placed the coffee on the bedside table, and the pillow under his arm was thrown on the bed, the mattress sunk a little as he sat. Few silent moments later ~ Lu Ming coughed a little and spoke with indifference, "Do you want to go to the Lu Family banquet next week?" Jing Yi secretly opened one eye and looked at him. Does that mean, he won''t be taking her to the Civil office? Does he mean...he was not going to divorce her...? Jing Yi slowly lifted her head and looked at Lu Ming with surprised eyes. "Uncle! Does that mean we are not going to take the divor--" "Coming or not?" Lu Ming stared at the tablet and coldly cut off her words, "I am coming!" Jingyi people immediately answered without thinking about it, A bright smile formed over her lips and she quickly laid back on the bed, gathered together the quilt and soon fell asleep. Usually, she will sleep with her back towards Lu Ming, but now she was facing him. The distance between the two of them was also close, Lu Ming can even feel her heat. The hand holding the tablet was firm and tight. Jing Yi shifted and her slim and smooth legs touched Lu Ming''s feet. Lu Ming froze, then kicked her legs away. The kick was too soft, Jing Yi didn''t respond and continued to sleep. Lu Ming could feel her warmth spreading over him through the touch. Her skin was so delicate and smooth... The little woman next to him breathed evenly with a calm look over his face. But Lu Ming could feel her scent, her presence was too close, and his blood was heating up. In the quiet room, only the bells and ticks sounded, the heater has been turned off it shouldn''t be this hot. The air was too heavy and dry. With one sudden movement, he removed the quilt and strode inside the bathroom. A cold water shower finally made him feel calmer. Lu Ming looked at himself in the mirror, with a little tiredness on his slightly red face. Too many things happened recently, and for some reason, his new wife always made him feel weird and various sorts of emotions will rush inside him. Chapter 58 - 58 You Forgot Your Medicine Jing Yi suddenly became a person tampering with his calm and composed emotions. In the end, Lu Ming blamed it all on his exhaustion. Lu Ming pulled a towel and wiped himself. After that, he twisted the doorknob open and stepped outside. Jing Yi''s half sleepy eyes looked at him, he was having quarreled emotions inside by her soft and sly eyes, "Uncle...what happened to you?" "..." Jing Yi had no idea how cute and seductive she looked that way. Lu Ming just pressed down the heat and crossed over the room, picked his pillow, left the room and closed the door shut. "..." Jing Yi was dumbfounded, what happened just now? He came in calm headed, got angry again and left? She took back her sight and noticed the fragrant, dark thing on the table. A faint white smoke still came from the cup. Like a wide-eyed puppy, she moved to the bedside and picked up the cup, placing it in front of her nose as she inhaled the intoxicating smell. The fragrance was so tempting! She took a large gulp. Jing Yi''s small and beautiful face turned poker, her features crumbled and huddled together, it was as if she ate some sore pickle. Assuming, this thing is very likely to be some medicinal drink she put down on the bedside table and rushed inside the bathroom to remove that awful taste and that awful thing from her mouth. She came outside wiping the corners of her mouth and looked at the cup of medicine. Was uncle sick? With that thought, she picked the ''medicine'' and left her room. Jing Yi stood in front of the study room and lightly knocked on the door twice. "..." For a while, there was no response. Then Jing Yi knocked on it again, but upon getting no response she pushed the door open. Inside Lu Ming was buried too deep inside his work that he didn''t notice the knocks. Jing Yi even felt a little embarrassed to disturb him. In order to not disturb him further, she politely stood at the door with the cup of ''medicine''. Jing Yi knew that this Lu Ming was not her Imperial Uncle, though the two of them looked a lot similar, she did not think he looked more handsome than her emperor. It was just that domineering and king-like air that he carried with himself made his presence feel like the emperor so much that she couldn''t help but instinctively become afraid of him. At this moment under the limited range of the lights near Lu Ming, she realized his perfect face looks so much younger than Huangfu (The Emperor). The white light makes his skin look even better than a woman. The straight and tall nose is as perfect as some sculpture, his long lashes will flash from time to time carrying an arrogant temperament. His well-defined hand holds a pen and the sleeves that are rolled up to reveal a strong and powerful arm. When writing, the sound of the pen rustling is like playing music, accompanied by the ticking of the bell in the room. Jing Yi stood for about a quarter of an hour, Lu Ming was drowsy and sleepy by then and closed his laptop. He found a person in the room. Lu Ming glanced at the coffee in her hand and looked back at her, "Why don''t you sleep?" Jing Yi lifted the cup held in his hand, "Uncle, you forgot to take your medicine" "...." Chapter 59 - 59 Remove Uncles Pants "Uncle, you forgot your medicine," "..." Jing Yi crossed the room and accidentally knocked her feet against the table, she almost stumbled but fortunately, she held on the table''s edge and balanced herself. In the meantime, the coffee has been spilled more than half and ended up falling between Lu Ming''s legs. "..." "Uncle...I am sorry!" Jing Yu looked at Lu Ming in panic and dropped the cup down, immediately she grabbed some tissues and her small pair of hands rushed toward Lu Ming''s legs. "Uncle! I didn''t mean it..." Jing Yiren''s small hands were stroking and squeezing every fabric below Lu Ming''s belt, but the wetness didn''t get absorbed easily and was even a little sticky. After taking a few more tissues, she continued to rub and didn''t notice how stiff has Lu Ming''s body become. She was flustered and kept apologizing. While she continued, Jing Yi people suddenly felt a layer under her small hand, there was a burning bulge that gradually grew. The speed and scale of the swelling was fast and scary. Jing Yi jumped and asked nervously, "Uncle, is it a scald? Remove the pants, let me see!" "..." Lu Ming gritted his eyes and looked at her with cold deep eyes, Jing Yiren, took a hand to her mouth and whispered to herself, "It shouldn''t be hot for this long, was the medicine poisonous?" A firm look appeared over her concerned eyes, Jing Yi threw away the towels and grabbed his belt. Jing Yi: "Uncle, let me see!" Lu Ming: "..." He pushed her hand away and replied coldly. "Enough, you can leave!" "No!" Jing Yi refused to listen, and took his hand to make him understand her reasoning, "It''s all swollen like this, if you don''t want me to see, then have a doctor check it!" "Hmph!" The moment she touched his hand, Lu Ming snorted. Scared, she quickly asked, "It hurts?" "..." Lu Ming clenched his teeth: "Get out! Didn''t you hear?" Jing Yi was stunned by him but still stood rooted in her pace. Lu Ming stood up and grabbed her chin to pulling it closer harshly. His hot breath grazed her skin while his cold words asked, "Do you know what the consequences will be?" "..." Jing Yi was wide-eyed, the atmosphere does not dare to breathe and she looked at the man in front with her heart pounding. She has never seen such an angry and burning sight of the uncle, she wanted to scream but swallowed hard. Jing Yi clenched her hands and subconsciously stepped back. Lu Ming clamped her chin and moved forward and forward until she was trapped by the door and couldn''t go back anymore. The two of them were so close, they could even feel each other''s breaths on their faces. In particular, Lu Ming''s breathing-like hot magma was on Jing Yi''s face. His eyes looked at her intently and the gaze was deep she couldn''t see an end, the distance decreased so that their lips were close enough to touch each other with a little movement. Jing Yi gulped, "Uncle..." She just touched the lips of Lu Ming when she opened hers. It was like an electric shock.. The heartbeats were running like crazy, the mind turned blank. Chapter 60 - 60 Is The Bruise Fine? The heart beats inside went crazy and the mind was blank. The moment, Jing Yi''s soft lips touched Lu Ming, he could barely hold it in. She was frozen when the touch was made afraid something bad might happen. The kind of feeling inside of him still felt incomplete, and to let those lips disappear will be a torment to his heart. Subconsciously, with clouded Lu Ming leaned closer to taste those sweet beautiful petals. But just then, she turned her head away with a face as red as a tomato. He watched her as she looked at him with fearful eyes and that shy look. Lu Ming''s hand was clutching the knob so tight his hand turned white. The next moment, he turned the knob and pushed Jing Yi out of the door, following by a fierce sound as the door was shut closed. "..." Jing Yi stumbled and looked at the door with a little dumbfounded expression. Her chest was breathing nervously, and her face was still red. The little hand touched her lips and she could still feel the shadow of his breath and the warmth of his lips. Did she... did she just accidentally kissed him? Death''s arriving for sure....! ~ Early Next Morning ~ Jing Yi almost didn''t sleep all night. In the morning, when the servant woke her up, and she drowsily climbed out of the bed. After changing and brushing her teeth, she left the room to have breakfast downstairs. As usual, she walked to the table under the guidance of the maid. Followed by the maid going to Lu Ming''s side and whispering respectfully, "Master Lu, Miss Jing is here" Lu Ming replied with a faint ''hmm'' and dismissed the maid with a gesture of his hand. "Sit down" Lu Ming faintly ordered the natural ''majesty tone'' in his voice, Jing Yi pulled the chair and sat down, she was about to ask if his bruises were healed. But before she could do so, Lu Ming pushed a bowl of porridge towards Jing Yi. Jing Yi looked at the bowl of fish porridge in front of her, and then looked at the plate near Lu Ming which held fish-bones. Has he been picking up fish-bones? A warm feeling spread over Jing Yi''s heart ... Even though she had hurt her uncle yesterday, he didn''t blame her and even removed bones from fish for her, won''t a princess know how to return his favor? She wanted to check the swelling but couldn''t see anything from here. Jing Yi suddenly thought of something and the silver spoon from her hand fell on the floor with a clanking sound. "Ah! " Saying that Jing Yi bent down and lifted the tablecloth. Carefully, she observed Lu Ming''s legs. The pants he wore today were a bit tight, his legs were long and slender and the place between them didn''t look swollen at all. She let a sigh of relief. Jing Yi lifted herself and sat on the chair placing the spoon aside. The maid had bought a new spoon for her by then. Lu Ming lightly spoke, "You can leave it to the servants next time" Jing Yi smiled and nodded, "Uncle, The place where you were injured yesterday is completely fine?" "..." When Lu Ming heard her words and realized why she had scooped the spoon just now, he on his food and coughed, the tips of his ear turned red. "..." Jing Yi didn''t understand what caused his coughs all of sudden and subconsciously stood up to help him. "Sit down!" Lu Ming snorted! Picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth. Chapter 61 - Chapther 61 Raising Children Like Dogs "Sit down!" Lu Ming snorted, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, "..." Jing Yi was surprised to see why was he angry when she was only going to help but nevertheless she immediately sat down, Lu Ming was not used to talking when he was eating, so he said nothing and the meal continued in silence. After the breakfast, Lu Ming was reading a financial newspaper and told Jing Yi, "Go and get ready, we are going out for a while" "..." Jing Yi was immediately in panic and the first thought that came to her mind was that he was taking her to the Civil Affairs Bureau. But didn''t he mentioned earlier that it''s their rest day today? And he did reconcile last night with her... "Where?" she asked "To buy a present for mom" he replied without looking up, So it was just shopping, Jing Yi was relived and excitedly went upstairs to get changed. She was dressed in a light yellow sleeveless dress, the skirt was elegant and beautiful as a fairy''s but the lack of sleeves made her a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the servant has given her a piece of tulle to be placed on her shoulders.Her curly long hair hung over her shoulders, and butterfly pear earrings were gleaming in her ears. Giving her an overall appearance of a doll. *** Jing Yi was sitting in the car looking at the world that never stopped to amaze her. Lu Ming was driving moderately. There were different types of people wearing colorful clothes. This world was really strange from her, but even then she had never seen such a bustling crowd here. In addition to the palace earlier, she had never seen such sky-touching building and whenever she sees them she can''t help the look of awe that comes in her eyes. Compared to this, she was only a country princess, thinking back to her world she realized how undeveloped her own kingdom was. Although she is already in another world, her heart and the blood in her veins still belong to Lu Yuan. She can''t let herself fall in love with this world! Various scenery went by as the car continued to drive, and then there was fountain square. With disdainful scorn, she turned her head, "Such indecency!" "..." Lu Ming looked at her sudden change and swept a glance outside, a couple was kissing on a fountain square. The car passes through a pre-school, cute kids were playing together and sliding down a blue slide. Jing Yi: "Raising children like dogs! Disgraceful!" (she thinks all those kids are from a single parent) Lu Ming: "..." Then comes a marriage garden where a western-style wedding was going on. Jing Yi: "Such cheeriness for the dead! Disrespectful!" Lu Ming: "..." He sat in the car, listening to her evaluations of things all the way, nothing was good, everything was bad and faulty. But Lu Ming has been used to her by now, he gave no response and continued to work on his iPad when an email just arrived. It was the assistant Li Wei, Chairman Lu, The following styles are the most popular cheongsam^ dresses, the embroidery is handcrafted! I believe it would a present Aunt Lu will like very much! Lu Ming faintly glanced at the picture below, followed by a page and quickly flipped through it.. Afterward, he seemed to be too lazy to look at it. Chapter 62 - 62 You Know About Embroidery? Lu Ming faintly glanced at the picture below, followed by a page and quickly flipped through it. Afterward, he seemed to be too lazy to look at it. "Take a look" he tossed the iPad towards Jing Yi, In the past whenever Lu Ming gave any presents to his mother and father, most of them were selected by Li Wei because his schedule would be too busy. Hence, he brought Jing Yi today with him, so that she can select a gift for his mother. Li Wei had earlier chosen a piece of jewelry but his mother owned that sort of jewelry a lot chose jewelry, but a classical cheangsam was really a nice choice, though the embroidery work of her choice didn''t meet his standards. Hence, he didn''t like it. Jing Yi didn''t hear his words but subconsciously looked at the iPad thrown toward her. There was an embroidered dress on the book of apple and subconsciously she touched it. The picture automatically flipped to a different one, she touched it again and a different image flipped. And then her attention truly fell upon the dress. Lu Ming looked out of the window leaving on Jing Yi to decide the dress. "Is this something embroidered by humans? It is just s***! A child can do better this" "..." Lu Ming raised his eyebrows and turned his head, "You know about embroidery?" If she was criticizing the work in such a way it must mean she knows better embroidery than that, right? "Of course..." Jing Yi stopped herself midway, she can''t expose her true identity! What if the actual Jing Yi doesn''t have that skill? Jing Yi immediately shook her head and smiled nervously, "How can I know about that?" Lu Ming looked at her for some time with fixed eyes, but then simply took back his eyes turned to look out of the window. After a while, the car arrived at the Ruby Mall in the city center and stopped. The driver got off the car to hold open the door. Lu Ming has just stepped out when he remembered something turned, "Don''t call me uncle here" he warned Jing Yi, When she had first called him uncle, Lu Ming was disgusted but as he listened more, it became a unique nickname between them. So he didn''t ask her to not call him uncle before. But if someone from outside hears this, they might think Jing Yi as some prostitute and him as some playboy. "Then what should I call you?" This question made Lu Ming pause for two seconds, then a soft curl came over his lips as he replied, "Old Man^" "Old Man?" Jing Yiren''s beautiful eyebrows tangled into a ball, Why call him an old man, when he is so young? "Yes" Lu Ming faintly responded, and left "..." They didn''t stop and Lu Ming took her straight to the newly opened hand-embroidery shop on the fifth floor. He had only seen on the Internet before, but this shop was the most famous in S City, the products here must be good. Jing Yi politely followed him and looked at the mannequins wrapped in embroidered dresses, "Uncle...does your mother like embroidery?" "Yiren!" Lu Ming looked at her with cold eyes and reminded her, "But nobody knows, why does it matter?" Jing YI explained whispering, that old man nickname was way too weird to speak, Lu Ming''s indifferent face seemed to frown but he said nothing and pushed the shop''s door inside. Jing Yiren and the driver followed him. Inside, there were all sorts of clothes from classical to modern, from scarves to dresses, and various types of embroidery could be seen on them. Chapter 63 - 63 Princess Doing Embroidery Inside, there were all sorts of clothes from classical to modern, from scarves to dresses, and various types of embroidery could be seen on them. Every corner was covered in some piece of embroidery, by one glance one could tell the shop was not cheap. When Lu Ming came in, he found a seat and sat down. A woman immediately came to assist them. "This, lady, is our hand-embroidered lifelike piece of art, this is one of the world''s top, just take a look and you will how beautiful it is!" The worker was showing the shop''s latest design. Jing Yi lazily glanced at it and didn''t look much. This kind of thing can be regarded as the world''s top? Even her previous embroideries were better than this, if she would have opened a shop here, she would be making a fortune! She went forward and took a stroll around the store, the embroidery here was too general looking in her eyes. After some time, she chose a purple-red dress and turned toward Lu Ming, "Is this good-looking?" One look at the dress and Lu Ming realized that her taste has become a lot better than before, the dress was simple but beautiful. But the style of this dress was not much suitable for someone in her middle stages. "It''s good," Lu Ming said with light cooperation! Though Lu Ming had said this, Jing Yi shook her head and looked at the dress. "This embroidery is too small and it is not lively enough, if it''s for the mother''s birthday it should be more high-standard and distinguishable" "You are right" Lu Ming''s mouth curled into a small smile, Indeed, if the dress''s embroidery was changed into a flamboyant flower, it will look much more graceful and suited for his mother. When the worker heard it, her face changed, their shop was well received by the whole country. Their embroidery masters all won several prizes. Hence, she immediately replied, "Excuse me, Miss but this is the most popular style of the year! If you don''t understand embroidery then please don''t judge our work of art! This is the result of the hard work of our best masters!" After the woman finished, Jing Yi almost laughed. "This is the best your masters can do?" "..." The receptionist was angry but did her best to hide her temper, "Miss! Do you want this one?" Jing Yiren bought the dress and also some golden silk wire. She spread the dress on the table and lifted her eyes to the flowers over the receptionist''s desk. After a quarter of an hour passed, Jing YI had already created a blossoming water chestnut flower, it was like pure light and lifelike. As the skirt swings, it seems like a real flower in the spring breeze. Lu Ming, who has been calmly sitting on the sofa for so long couldn''t stam calm anymore and walked indifferently toward Jing Yi, watching as her needle carefully embroidered. He had never expected she would be such a wonderful embroider, her technique was so skillful! She had a beautiful side-face as she calmly embroidered, few strands of her hair fell down and she tucked them behind her hair, this was followed by another fall and another as she tried to keep the out of her way. In the end, she was too focused on her work, that she didn''t care. But this time, the hair doesn''t have to time to rebel, Lu Ming lifted his hand and held them for her. Chapter 64 - 64 Princess Eating Steak This time, her hair had not yet had time to fall. Lu Ming suddenly raised his hand and gently held her rebellious hair for her. He turned and looked at the driver. The driver immediately understood he turned and left the store. After three minutes, he returned with a rhinestone hairpin. Lu Ming gently placed the hairpin over her hair. Jing Yi was so fixated in embroidering that she didn''t notice when her hair stopped falling. The store assistant on the other side looked at Jing Yi with wide eyes, by this time even her boss and few other people have stopped to take a look. They had never seen anyone embroidering with such neatness and beauty. The boss was in surprise and disbelief at first, after recovering himself he pulled his phone opened his camera to record the process. The driver stopped in the middle and told him to stop. As a driver, he wasn''t in charge of these things but he knew calamity would fall if Master Lu is angered. After some time, Jing Yi picked the dress and spread it in front of Lu Ming so that the design could be clearly seen. "Looking good?" "You said you didn''t know about embroidery" Lu Ming narrowed his eyes, his voice wasn''t exactly warm but also not cold, Jing Yi smiled nervously and subconsciously placed her hand inside her hair, "Eh... I lied because I thought uncle wouldn''t believe and...ah..." Jing Yi smiled, and then she felt a small hairpin in her hair. Uncle helped me with my hair just now... As she realized that, she licked her lips and her face turned a light shade of red. Jing Yi handed the dress to the boss to have it packed. The boss looked at the dress again and again and then he noticed something that made him exclaim. "This... This is the legendary lost double-sided embroidery?!" "There is an artist in your girl!" the boss added and looked at Jing Yi "If you teach us this embroidery I will hire with high pay!" The Boss thought Jing Yi to be just a caller girl who can''t resist his money and made the offer without any thought. Lu Ming''s face sunk and turned darker, he clearly saw that glint behind the boss''s eyes. Jing Yi on the other side couldn''t understand what was so special about her embroidery, she had learned it at a very young age, her mother has taught so that Jing Yi can prepare a gift for the queen mother... "The princess has no time," she told the boss, The boss personally wrapped the dress in a gift box and even added extra gold and silver ribbons while wrapping, "Here this is my phone number, I will welcome you anytime..." Lu Ming didn''t waited for the boss to finish and swept the dress, took Jing Yi''s hand in his and glared coldly at the boss, "She is my wife" The Boss: "..." The assistant: "..." The driver: "..." Even his expressions were awkward after witnessing what happened. This kind of situation has to be properly explained to others! The listened to Miss Jing''s and then to Master Lu''s words, both of them didn''t add up clearly. Why would a wife ever call his husband an Uncle? How can anyone be blamed for misunderstanding this situation! After exiting the shop, Lu Ming bought a few sets of clothes and shoes for Jing Yi. They had the lunch out at noon. Lu Ming took Jing Yi to the rotating western restaurant. They chose to sit down in a half-way on the crystal balcony! The high-end steak comes up, the warm aroma of the meat was mouth-watering. Lu Ming cuts the steak in front of him and in even pieces. But looking at the tableware in front of her, Jing Yi was confused, Subconsciously turned around and looked at how others with a fork and a knife. She learned to pick up the knife and fork, after a little hesitation, she tried slicing the meat. But it felt very strange, just as she was about to lay down the knife, suddenly the plate in front of her was pucked up and changed places with Lu Ming''s. Lu Ming places the plate in front of Jing Yi. Chapter 65 - 65 Whats Your Name? Lu Ming places the sliced steak in front of Jing Yi. Jing Yi smiled and was feeling warm by this small gesture and she starts eating directly with a fork. The meat was inches away from her mouth when Lu Ming crossed the table, asked her to pick up the knife as well and stood behind her, holding her hands in his. He showed her the method to eat with fork and knife and Jing Yi learned very seriously and quickly, completely unaware that Lu Ming''s presence was so close to her. The others inside the hotel were sneaking glances at the couple which looked so perfect, a handsome man, a beautiful girl, what a match! Jing Yi was intending to pretend to know how to use the two tablewares but by Lu Ming''s initiative, she was sure that the previous owner was not aware of this technique either. But in reality, the old Jing Yi used to eat steaks often and was completely aware of how to use the knife and fork. ~ On the way back ~ In the car, Jing was sitting in the front while Lu Ming was sitting on the back seat. He was watching her quietly, intently. Her back was straight, into an elegant sitting posture, it was something that couldn''t be learned in a day or two, it comes naturally to a person. When she entered the car, she placed her hands elegantly above her legs and since then they didn''t leave that place. She was looking out of the window at the moment. "Open the window," he said, Jing Yi subconsciously looked back at Lu Ming. He lazily pointed at the raised button on the door. Jing Yi followed his instruction and raised a small finger before pressing the button. The window slowly descended. As if given a shock, she immediately retreated her hand back. Lu Ming watched her every movement with intent eyes. After lifting her hand just now, she placed it back exactly where they resided moments ago. It was not something a person can learn, this comes from personal habits of years. Regardless of all this, the Jing Yi of the past was simply a worm. From a country bumpkin, how come her personality and behavior changed into that of some noble princess? Lu Ming did not speak again on the way. After reaching home and changing into slippers, his voice commanded, "Follow me" there was no sign of any emotions, Jing Yi slowly went upstairs and followed Lu Ming to the study. "Close the door" Lu Ming walked in front of his desk and sat down on the chair, "..." Jing Yi gently closed the door and leaned against the door as she was reminded of a particular memory and inexplicable thought entered her mind. She had accidentally kissed Lu Ming, was he going to punish her now? "Uncle... Is there anything?" Lu Ming looked at her for about two seconds with a look of indignation. Then his indifferent voice responded, "Come here" "..." Jing Yi slowly walked up to him and stood still. Thinking of last night, she could not dare to look at Lu Ming''s eyes, and hung her eyes and instead stared between his legs. The place was not swollen like yesterday, it seemed to be perfectly healed. Lu Ming noticed the line of her sight and slightly turned on his chair, "What is your name?" His tone was cold but different this time, it was as if he was interrogating a prisoner, "Ah?...." the sudden question froze Jing Yi and hesitantly she replied, "Jing--Yiren!" Chapter 66 - 66 Suspicion "Ah?..." the sudden question made her freeze and she replied hesitantly, "Jing...Yiren!" But why did he asked that?...what was the problem...? Before she can even think of anything further, Lu Ming asked another question, "How old are you?" "14!...No! 18!19!" Lu Ming''s question caught off guard, "Where is your home?" "..." This, Jing Yi can''t answer, the thought that he has suspected her caused her heart to come in her throat, If he finds that she is not his wife, she will definitely be thrown away, and then where will she go? The divorce will definitely happen! Was it because of the embroidery today? Or did heh suspected her because of something else? She can tell Lu Ming''s understanding of the original owner of the body was pretty well, there must have been some fault on her side! A thought made Jing Yi''s eyes turn innocent and she replied with a smile, "My home is at 888, Golden Harbor" "..." Lu Ming raised his eyebrows, she was indeed smart, Jing Yi has told their house''s address. "Who is your family?" "My husband! Lu Ming!" "..." Lu Ming decided to look at Jing Yi, his face was colder than ice, He suddenly stood up and clamped her chin with one hand. His voice contained a heaviness and warmth in it, "You better not forget your own words!" he said, "I am your husband" "..." Jing Yi''s chin was tilted upward and she was forced to look at Lu Ming. What she answered was a normal fact, then why she felt like this Uncle was going to be angry again... Before she can even finish her thought, in the next second her waist was pulled and her body stuck closely against Lu Ming, their lips were almost together. And then he leaned forward and closed her lips. "..." Jing Yi stared at the person in front of her. Jing Yi, who had never had any close contact with men, was shocked at the moment and was her mind turned blank. She didn''t knew what to do next, with wide moist eyes she looked at uncle. Lu Ming''s lips tasted her soft little lips, but his movements were not gentle at all, there was roughness had an urgency inside them, it felt to her as if he was punishing her. The hand clasped around her waist got tighter and tighter. His tongue invaded her mouth and deeply entangled with her. Lu Ming''s kiss was hot and overbearing, even the air was stolen from Jing Yi. The silky, soft, thing inside her mouth stirred, the deeper it went, the more difficult it became for Jing Yi to breathe. Just as she thought she would loose her consciousness, Lu Ming pulled from the kiss. Both of their breaths were heavy and hot. She felt a numbness inside her, tears cornered her eyes and her face was flushed red, "Uncle...uncle..." Her delicate voice was like a stimulation to his emotions. Chapter 67 - 67 Husband Wife Obligation Every part of him wanted her and he couldn''t wait any longer, with one sudden movement he swept the things away on the desk and pressed her under his body. His overpowering kiss went from her lips to her soft earlobe. Jing Yi wanted to push him away with the little internal force she had, but the moment his lips touched her ear, a sensation passed through her heart and down to her body. She still tried to move but her heart no longer wanted that. Her soft body was under him and she could feel his warmth and his scent, and his longing. Her legs were below him and she could feel something hard and warm pressing against her. Jing Yi who had her mouth finally freed, subconsciously lifted her hand to her lips, they were swollen and still, inside she could still feel his lingering taste. She couldn''t understand what was happening, it was strange and a little uncomfortable. His scent was clouding her mind, and she didn''t know the reason."Uncle, you... why are you kissing me?" she rubbed away the wetness from her lips and tried hard to forget the shadow of his touch, Lu Ming paused and lifted his head, the uncomfortable look in her eyes, that hesitation, it was like a knife to his heart. His eyes became cold and chilled and as sharp as a sword, they fixedly looked at her. Does she think he is dirty? She doesn''t want him to touch her...? But if not him, then who else? The temperature dropped down to minus temperature. Jing Yi felt the cold chilling her bones, and froze, looking at Lu Ming. His face was as cold and hard as steel told her that he was angry again. Subconsciously she shrunk herself back and wanted to bury herself inside the desk, she does not understand what wrong she did this time to make him angry! He was so terrible! The two looked at each other for nearly three minutes, "What are you rubbing? You think I am dirty?" he asked coldly, "..." No! She just instinctively wiped it! Jing Yi has no idea how to explain it to him! "We are married, aren''t we? This is just a husband-wife obligation" Lu Ming whispered, and suddenly leaned over and bite her white collarbone. "..." husband and wife obligations? Jing Yi mind slowed and she understood what Lu Ming meant. Panic and fear sunk inside her, but ignoring the feelings of her heart, a pair of small hands fiercely struggled to try to push away Lu Ming. Although she is the wife of Lu Ming in name, she only came here for a few days. It was difficult for her to change from a girl to a young woman. How can she accept the experience of having a true marriage? ? She was only a fourteen-year-old girl! Not to mention her relationship with Lu Ming was nothing but awkward! Chapter 68 - 68 Do You Like Jing Xi? Her relationship with Lu Ming was nothing but awkward, one day he would threaten to divorce her and in the next moment... How can she allow him to do anything to her without her will, wasn''t it just like a flower thief? Jing Yi tried to use more strength in push him away but all her struggling availed to no good, "Don''t...Uncle...only loving couples do that!" The more she struggles, the more she angered Lu Ming. Lifting his head from her chest, he looked at her with furious eyes and grabbed her throat. "Loving couples?" These two words made Lu Ming clenched his teeth, She was really unwilling to let him touch, but she had just said he was her husband! If she is acknowledging their relationship, then why was she saying only ''loving couples'' do that? Those two beautiful words, caused an inexplicable pain inside Lu Ming''s chest, it was as if a piece him has bin dug out, his heart felt empty inside. Jing Yi eyes turned into panic as he looked at her, her neck was hurting and it was harder to breathe, but she didn''t dare resist him again. The Lu Ming in front of her was completely different from what she knows, this man was like a stranger, his temperament, his anger, it was something she had never seen before. He was even more scary than Huangfu (The Emperor)! The prince of city looked like a demon king like this. Jing Yi people trembled and tried to explain, "You... you were saying that even if I stripped naked you wouldn''t touch me?" "..." Lu Ming eyes turned deeper and deeper as he looked at her, feeling the shaking of the woman under him. Even her voice was dry as she spoke, her fear for him was clear. One night earlier, it was Jing Yi who gave him a drugged coffee, knowing her intentions can''t be good he didn''t drank that. Later at night she tried to make a move on him, but he threw her out of his room. That time he was so sickened by her actions, he even had the servant change bed-sheets. Since, their marriage half a year ago, this kind of thing didn''t happened rarely. But it was first time he ever took the initiative, and now she thinks he is dirty? her reaction was a blow to his emotions. She was not Jing Yi...! Since her recovery, he was always worried that she would change back to her past self. It was true that Jing Yi made him still uneasy, he couldn''t help but be worried about her, and the new her also affected his emotions greatly... Lu Ming let go of her neck and stood up, his eyes still fixed on her. Jing Yi coughed twice and took deep breaths inside, her face was flushed all red. "You don''t like me?" he asked, Jing Yi touched the faint bruise on her neck with painful expressions, she nodded and then shook her head. She wanted to tell him, that she really don''t like him and hence she nodded. From some time, she had subconsciously started treating him as her imperial uncle, because he acted kind to her, but in the end he always turned cold and angry. But she was also afraid that he will threw her out of the house and hence she quickly shook her head. "Who do you like? Jing Xi?" Lu Ming''s voice was indifferent but cold, "..." Jing Yi couldn''t understand why he is always dragging Jing Xi in the middle, Even if Jing Xi is her younger brother and the two are not related by blood, she is still not familiar with him, how can she like him? Jing Yi was silent, her lack of response gave the answer Lu Ming needed. Chapter 69 - 49 Princess On His Nerves Lu Ming has his answer, her silence was the proof of her feelings for Jing Xi. His eyes were colder than the hailstorm. The room was covered in silence and a darkness that was too uncomfortable. The frightening silence continued for over ten minutes. Jing Yi could see a cold storm behind Lu Ming''s eyes, even if she wanted to reply she was to afraid to do so now. Her palm was covered in sweat, her heart was too scared that it was clearly visible over her face. She was afraid she would be a victim of his impulsive anger again for no reason. But all she could do was to stand still. She was too afraid to move. And her fears were valid as well, Lu Ming had ferocious thoughts inside his head. His emotions were in a turmoil if he were to get angry, there was no way he could hold back. But then the more he looked into her fearful moist eyes... "Get out" His hoarse voice carried a hint of nasal choking as if saying those simple two words caused him pain. "..." Jing Yi immediately hurried out after receiving the decree and rushed as if there wouldn''t be a chance to escape if she delayed. The door closed. Lu Ming was rooted in the same place, subconsciously his hand stopped in front of his chest. Seeing her escape, the long pain spreads further. The Lu Ming, whose IQ was high and the EQ which was not very high, he never had such strong feelings for any one or in any situation. He has only concentrated and dedicated himself to work. So when Jing family has asked for the marriage to strengthen their business bonds, he had agreed without hesitation. He had never experienced these sorts of emotions before, and hence he couldn''t accept them for a while. Denying them as an illusion caused by exhaustion. Every night he wrote his thoughts in a diary and today when she confirmed her feelings for Jing Xi, Lu Ming realized she had already gotten to a place where she can make him feel uncomfortable. He wasn''t in control of his emotions anymore. Jing Yi went back to the bedroom like a fugitive, slammed the door shut and panted heavily. She was so scared, she thought he would kill her! She had to find some way! *** Next few days, Lu Ming didn''t go to the master bedroom to sleep. The faint little bruises on Jing Yi''s collar bone and some other places were getting better. Though they lived under the same roof, the two of them didn''t see each other in the daytime, and by the time he would come home at night she would already be asleep or do so as soon as she heard the sound of car parking from the yard. Since that day''s incident, Jing Yi was afraid of meeting Lu Ming, whether she was sleep or not, she will hide inside the blankets. Because when he will check on her at night, she was afraid if she is found awake he would enter and glare at her with those cold eyes. But after finding her asleep, he would come inside and get his things before leaving. Chapter 70 - 70 Jing Xis Concert Tonight, when Lu Ming''s car is heard from the yard, Jing Yi immediately shuts the TV, turns off the lamp and slips inside the blankets, pretending to be asleep. After a while, she heard the sound of the knob turning. After three seconds, the door closed again. She sighed quietly and climbed out of the bed. She still has to complete that episode and picks up the remote. The sudden loud sound made her flinch and quickly tried to lower the volume, but from fear and panic, the remote fell from her hands. Jing Yi immediately rushed forward and shut the TV directly. Outside the door, Lu Ming, who had just walked two steps, suddenly heard the sound coming from the room and stopped, his body turning stiff. *** The next morning, Jing Yi had thought that Lu Ming will not be home as usual. Hence, she was very casual, she woke up in time and wearing pajamas and slipper, she went downstairs stretched her arms and then froze. Lu Ming was normally eating breakfast on the table. Her arms were still frozen in the air. It took a little time to recover, then with her head lowered she went to the table and pulled a chair making sure no sort of eye contact is made. Wu Bo approached her and started serving Jing Yi as he spoke, "Miss Jing, your younger brother just called and asked to tell you to come at the Dome Plaza at eight pm tonight to watch his concert" Jing Yi took over the bowl that Wu Bo handed over, and looked at him with an indifferent look, "What''s a Concert?" "..." Butler Wu thought for a second, "It''s about same as singing on the stage" "Oh..." Jing Yi slowly nodded, In her mind, she fantasized Jing Xi wearing bright clothes and shouting ''I am not a genius~~'' Just the mere thought of going there made her flinch. She had no intention to go there, but since Lu Ming was home today the atmosphere at home could be awkward and uncomfortable. Just as Jing Yi was feeling hesitant, Lu Ming''s face had turned as hard stone after hearing Butler Wu''s words and his looked fixedly at Jing Yi. "You can''t go anywhere today!" he issued the decree, "Hm? Why?" Jing Yi didn''t want to go to Jing Xi''s concert but she also didn''t wanted to stay home with Lu Ming! "It''s my mother''s birthday today, we''re going to the family banquet" Lu Ming''s eyes were cold like ice, Jing Yi didn''t try to say anything further and continued to eat her food keeping her eyes down, Lu Ming''s eyes were fixed on her, and the hand holding the chopsticks turned white. Suddenly, he had lost all his appetite, Wu Guanjia, who was on the side, thought that Lu Ming had forgotten it. He reminded him: "Master Lu, Madam called and said don''t let...." Miss Jing attend the birthday party! Chapter 71 - 71 Princesss Phone Number "B-but Master Lu, Madame has specially told..." Butler Wu tried to remind him, Lu Ming swept over a murderous gaze. The remaining words of Butler Wu were lost. Madam Lu had repeatedly reminded that Miss Jing shall never return to the old family house. Master Lu also knows that Madam despises Miss Jing so much, but he still wants to take Miss Jing with him! Isn''t this angering the madam on purpose? After the silent breakfast, they set off. Lu Ming''s family house was in the northern suburb of S City. It takes two and a half hours to drive. Jing Yi quietly looked at the scenery outside the window, Lu Ming looked at it with a financial newspaper. None of them spoke. When the car was halfway to the family house, Lu Ming''s mobile phone suddenly rang. The screen showed an unknown number, but Lu Ming remembered this number from Jing Yi''s contact list. He hung up the call and put the phone back in his pocket, he then resumed to the newspaper but the phone rang again. Lu Ming frowned and glanced at Jing Yi who was busy in her own world. After looking at the phone with deep dark eyes he picked up the call. "Brother-in-law, is my sister with you? I can''t get through her phone. Tell her to beon time tonight...!" "She is not available" Lu Ming coldly cut off the words of Jing Xi, "..." Jing Xi on the other side of the phone responded after two seconds, "Why?" "She wants to go to the family house today with me" Lu Ming explained coldly, Jing Xi on the other side laughed and couldn''t believe. "Impossible! Brother-in-law! Don''t you know that my sister is most afraid of seeing your parents? and your family doesn''t like my sister either! They won''t welcome her, My sister is only embarrassed because we had a fight last time, tell her that I have forgiven her! I will wait for her here at night, I have already booked VIP seat for her!" Jing Xi only said this because of the way she made his mother happy, if it was the previous Jing Yi there was no need to try contact her after sending the information about concert, she would have already called and thanked Jing Xi several times. But now Jing Yi was not as same as she used to be. Lu Ming noticed the change of attitude in Jing Xi towards Jing Yi and his eyes subconsciously glanced at her, "She is not coming" his cold voice replied and he disconnected the call, followed by the shutdown of his phone. Lu Ming recalled Jing Xi saying he couldn''t contact Jing Yi through the phone and suddenly remembered the new phone Jing Xi had brought for her and also the part when it was broken by him. "What about your own mobile phone?" he asked her, Jing Yi stiffened by the sudden question, she only knew little about the ''phones'' and it was only because Jing Xi has taught her last time. But after Lu Ming''s question, she could tell the previous Jing Yi also had a mobile phone! But she had no idea where it was! "It-It''s lost..." she said nervously "Tell me your phone number" "..." This was difficult for her, those things even has numbers? Than she she recalled the number Jing Xi had taught her before! Chapter 72 - 72 The Lu Family House Due to her excellent memory, Jing Yi still remembered the number Jing Xi had taught her, she thought Lu Ming was talking about this number and quickly replied, "138XXXXX777!" After that, Lu Ming''s face instantly turned several shades darker and he turned to look at her coldly. Lu Ming didn''t know Jing Yi''s phone number because he never called her directly and never thought about saving her number in his phone. But after calling him twice, Lu Ming remembered the last four digits of Jing Xi''s phone number. Jing Yi was smart enough to remember his number and not her own? How hard could it possibly be? The air in the car instantly cooled down to a freezing point. Jing Yi felt the chilling air and knew it could be no other than Lu Ming. She didn''t know what wrong she did, but Jing Yi waited nervously for Lu Ming to snap at her. But for a long time, Lu Ming just decided to look at her and then after for three minutes he asked, "What is my phone number?" "..." Jing Yi only remembered one number..."I don''t remember" "..." Lu Ming''s hand clutched together and his blood was boiling from anger. She can remember Jing Xi''s number but not his? Lu Ming turned his attention back to the finance newspaper and didn''t turn to look at Jing Yi even once as if she wasn''t even in the same air. "..." Jing Yi was feeling somewhat inexplicable, having no idea what caused Lu Ming''s expressions to be angry all again. Has she done something wrong? or said something wrong accidentally? At noon, the car arrived at the Lu Family House. The family house was a traditional villa carrying a classical atmosphere and was surrounded by a large beautiful courtyard. Rockery, lake, small bridge, Gaoxuan corridor, there was everything that could be expected of such a fine-looking place. Jing Yi felt as if she was back in her Uncle''s Imperial Palace, this place has something familiar in its air making her feel intimidated. Lu Ming''s father was the head of the family, and his long and slender beautiful wife has lots of people to congratulate her. There were a lot of guests in the yard and seeing Lu Ming enter, delightful screams could be clearly heard. Few maids rushed inside to inform Madam Lu about her son''s arrival. Everyone was happy after seeing him. But after their eyes landed on the Jing Yi who followed him far behind, those cheery faces turned uglier. Whispers started among the guests, a lot of people were even stupefied for some time not expecting such a person to be allowed to step inside the Lu Family House. Jing Yi felt something strange after entering inside but didn''t give it much thought. From time to time, several children could be seen chasing each other. Inside the house were classical rattan bamboo chairs, a mahogany sofa, and tea table, and a red carpet of gold enamel that was spread over the whole living room. Chapter 73 - 73 You Are Not Welcome Here, Leave! Inside the house were classical rattan bamboo chairs, a mahogany sofa, and tea table, and a red carpet of gold enamel that was spread over the whole living room. The decorative porcelain and jade vases could be seen increasing the beauty of an already beautiful living room. The atmosphere was lively inside. There was also a table in the hall where Marshal Lu could be seen playing mahjong. Lu Ming was first to step inside the house. As soon as he entered the house, in addition to Madam Lu, the people sitting in the living room talking and gossiping saw Lu Ming''s appearance, stood up and greeted. "Lu Ming, it''s been so long!" "Lu Minggie~!" "Lu Ming is back!" Lu Ming''s appearance has gathered attention from almost everyone in the house. Although they were cheery and greeted him sincerely, they kept a certain distance from him. Lu Ming was born with a demeanor, a leader from the start and a respectable person. He always maintained a certain distance and hence no one dares to take any initiative to be close with him. Seeing that her son came back, Madam pretended to be unhappy and didn''t look at him as he came toward her. Lu Ming smiles and sits on the sofa beside her, "Mom, aren''t you happy that I am back?" Madam Lu turned back and sighed with a bit of surprise in her eyes, "You are here, I thought you forgot your way home...!" She failed to hide the smile from her face by the end of her sentence. At the same time, her eyes glanced toward the person entering the house and the smile suddenly left her lips. Not only was Lu Ming''s mother''s reaction like this, once Jing Yi entered everyone''s face sank. "..." Jing Yi didn''t know what happened to everyone after she appeared and why the atmosphere suddenly became quiet. She let a stiff smile form on her lips for the sake of being a polite guest and blinked feeling an inexplicable strangeness in the air. It was clear from the faces around her, she wasn''t welcomed. Jing Yiren was holding the gift and stopped in front of her mother-in-law. Madam Lu stood up from her seat with a calm face which has no warmth and took the paper bag from Jing Yi without saying anything and threw it away coldly. "..." "You still have face to come here? You are not welcome here! Leave!" Madame Lu pointed toward the gate and spate the words filled with bitterness, Lu Ming has always listened to his mother and after reminding him thousands of times, Madame Lu was sure that it was Jing Yi who insisted on coming to the family house shamelessly. The Jing Yi she knew has trampled upon the Lu family''s reputation and gave so much trouble to her beloved son, with so many guests here how can Madam Lu allow this woman to bring further troubles for them? "..." Jing Yi''s face changed, not understanding the situation, She glanced at the gift, inside was her hand-embroidered dress! Taking back her sight she looked at Lu Ming who was not far away. He seemed indifferent, with his hand in his pocket and looked at Jing Yi just like that without and emotion in his face. It was clear he was not going to help her. Then she looked straight at the woman in front of her and examined the poor quality dress she was wearing.. It was exactly the same style as she had seen in the apple book a few days ago. Chapter 74 - 74 Thanksgiving Jing Yi examined the poor quality dress and realized it was tha same dress she had seen on that apple book, Lu Ming was earlier planning to gift her mother this dress... Then the woman must be his mother. But no matter who she is, Jing Yi can''t have anyone bully her for no reason! Her face turned colder and darker, "One needs to have a good heart to congratulate others. Not only you are a disgraceful wife, you are also an arrogant woman with no self respect!" The mother continued with raw hostility, Disgraceful wife? No self-respect? Jing Yi only came to congratulate her, what has she done to deserve such treatment? She was the dignified princess of a whole kingdom, she was under no obligation to take rude words of other when she is completely innocent. The whole hall was in silence, only the sound of the ancient clock and the sound of the Marshal playing mahjong could be clearly heard. There were still hushed voices of guests but it was clear almost everyone''s attention was upon the two woman. There was a waiter frozen next to Jing Yi, in his hand was a plate with four glasses of crystal clear champagne. Jing Yi casually picked the glass and sprayed the drink over Madam Lu''s dress. Splash Now there was complete silence, the air turned heavy between the two. Everyone was tense and nervous and couldn''t believe what had just happened. The atmosphere didn''t dare to breathe. The mother looked at Jing Yi as if she was a monster, with eyes as cold as an iceberg. Was Jing Yi on some bravery pills or something? How dare she insult the lady! Is she suffering from some mental illness? Everyone had similar thoughts in their minds. Madame Lu had been a prodigy of her family since childhood, she was a master in literature, she was well versed in the arts and calligraphy and mental games like chess. After marrying Marshal Lu, she was also called the first lady! This girl really dare to insult her? Madam Lu trembled in anger and bitterly spat the words, "Leave! Now! Get out of my sight this instant!!" she ruthlessly screamed, Jing Yi subconsciously stepped back at the roaring voice, But since she still remained in front of her, Madam Lu got furious and went ahead to hit her. But all of sudden her wrist halted midair. She slowly turned back and looked at her son grabbing her hand. "Mom, I brought her here" Lu Ming''s eyes were hard as he spoke, Madame Lu looked at her son as if she had heard it wrong, "Ming! You deliberately brought her here after I told you not to?!" Lu Ming frowned as he left his mother''s hand, "Mom, She is the wife of your son. Won''t you welcome us?" Lu Ming said with a cold face, She doesn''t liked Jing Yi but how can she refuse her own son? He must have some reason to bring her here... Unwilling but under pressure Madam Lu looked at Jing Yi and hissed, "Come in! What are you standing at the door?!" "..." Jing Yi was inexplicable at the tone and the sudden change in Madam Lu''s behavior. Were they still going to stay here after such insult? She glanced at Lu Ming, he was looking at her but then turned his eyes away as if there was nothing to talk. Jing Yi was speechless. Had he deliberately brought her here to be killed? Every face looked like that of hungry wolves in this place! Chapter 75 - 75 Jing Yirens Gift One of the middle-aged men: "Miss Jing! Come in and sit! Lu hasn''t seen his mother for a long time, let them talk more!" Someone brought the gift Jing Yi had intended to politely give Madame Lu, since the bag was waterproof the dress inside was safe and sound. She looked at the bag and sighed before gracefully walking toward a table and placing the gift along with others. Jing Yi saw Madame Lu delightfully showing off her inferior dress to Lu Ming as she asked, "Ming-er! Do you see this dress? It''s Li Yi''s personal choice for me! This child has such a good heart! This dress is so beautiful, I love it!" As she spoke Madam Lu glanced at Jing Yi with an arrogant smile. Jing Yi couldn''t understand the meaning and interjected, "A second-class dress like that is worth showing off?" "..." Madam Lu felt like vomiting blood, but for her son''s sake, she endured. Pretending no to hear that, Madam Lu looked for another topic, "Where is Li Wei? This child was around earlier..." she searched the crowd and saw Li Wei standing next to the mahjong table and watching her father play mahjong with the marshal, "Li Wei!" the first lady called her, "Lu Ming is here, why don''t you join us?" The way she called her was as if Li Wei was her own daughter in law. Jing Yi followed the line of sight and realized that she was that strange woman she met in police station. She recalled this Li Wei was rude to her and so was mother-in-law for unknown reasons, but how could everyone here hate her? Every now and then there were hostile glances thrown at her followed by whispers and snickers clearly directed toward her. This was the first time she came here, and yet people are already rude to her. It was better to stay away from trouble here. She moved around to look at the porcelain vases and other ornaments. Li Wei came over and greeted Madam Lu and Lu Ming, Madam Lu immediately gave up her seat and let Li Wei sat there. Lu Ming knew what was going inside his mother''s mind, his marriage with Jing Yi was already meaningless in his mother''s eyes. As soon as Li Wei sat beside him, Lu Ming immediately stood up and walked toward the coffee table where their gift was lying. He grabbed the bag and returned to her mother. With one hand he pulled the embroidered dress out and spread it in front of Madam Lu. There was no need to say anything, the moment Madam Lu saw the beautiful dress her eyes blinked unconsciously and the stunning look of the dress didn''t let her move her eyes. Her mouth was slightly agape, it was hard to hide the bright smile that came over her face. It was difficult to control her obvious delight as she looked at the marvelous embroidery. She was addicted to embroidered dresses and never before in her life has she ever seen something as beautiful as this. Chapter 76 - 76 Princess Broke The Vase Madam Lu was addicted to embroidered dresses and never before in her life has she ever seen something as beautiful as this. She took the beautiful piece of art and pretended to be calm, "You have a sharp eye, this dress is the more beautiful than any of my other dress " Li Wei: "..." Madam Lu noticed the expressions on Li Wei and was quick to explain,"Li Wei, I am not saying that the dress you gave is not good-looking, I only think this dress is a little better!" Lu Ming''s lips curled in a small smile, "Yiren created this embroidery" he said, "Huh?" Madam Lu''s eyes were filled with disbelief as she turned and looked at the back of the person standing in front of the china cabinet. "Stop kidding" Jing Yiren made this? How can a girl from country side know of such a fine art?It must be that she ordered someone else to buy it and then lied to Lu Ming! How dare she deceive her son! But in any case, Madam Lu really loved this dress,instead of wasting her time on Jing Yi she immediately went upstairs to get changed. Lu Ming didn''t bothered to explain his mother. On the other side, Li Wei was silent from the beginning. Her face and her posture were stiff, her expressions already pale. The hand holding the wine glass tightened. A pair of eyes which betrayed no emotions coldly shot toward Jing Yi. Li Wei had originally gave the dress to Madam Lu so that she can wear it today, but now due to Jing Yi''s dress her present was being put down. It was like a slap in her face! Lu Ming already knew Li Wei would be buying gift for his mother as usual and yet he let Jing Yi buy a gift as well? And a dress which was better than hers! That Jing Yi was stepping beyond her lines! Li Wei was getting more and more angry, first Jing Yi took Lu Ming who should have been hers and now this! Jing Yi looked at the blue and white porcelain vase in her hands and suddenly she felt a harsh push from behind and stumbled forward causing the porcelain vase to fall from her hands. The vase immediately shattered and attracted everyone''s attention in the hall. Jing Yi turned and looked at the woman who had bumped against her. She was wearing a long red dress and a fur shawl, the woman carried an arrogant look and not a single trace of regret in her eyes. "What did you bumped against me?" Jing Yi asked indifferently, The woman seemed somewhat startled and then laugh loudly,"Jing Yiren, are you sure you are not sick in your mind and broke the Marshal''s favorite vase? Why are you shifting your blame on me?" Jing Yi frowned and anger was clear behind her eyes, "Why would a princess shift blame for a fake vase? Admit your fault!" Jing Yi was not gong to endure meaningless blames on her, "..." The woman was feeling inexplicable, this Jing Yi who had always been like a mouse now emitted an aura of Lion. She couldn''t find words to contradict her! Has she drunk too much? The woman unconsciously glanced a the drink in her hands. This must be it!She smirked and held herself together, "Princess? Ha!.... you finally lost your mind! When did you became a princess?" Chapter 77 - 77 Princess Is A Fool The woman turned and looked at Li Wei, "Sister Li! Jing Yiren here is claiming the porcelain vase your father sent is a fake!" Everyone here knows that the blue-and-white porcelain vase was from the Tang Dynasty and was well preserved by the Li Family since then. To strengthen their relationship, Li Wei''s father has gifted it to the Marshal. At that time, the Marshal has tried to deny the valuable gift but in the end, he accepted it. Some people were even envious of commander Li Mingguo at that time! And now out of blue, this girl called this vase a fake? Not only in front of Li Wei but Li Mingguo as well? Was she trying to court death? She must be on bravery pills or something! Li Wei stood up, a pair of phoenix eyes stared at Jing Yi like swords and walked toward her. She kept her anger suppressed and said a calm voice, "Jing Yiren, you should be careful when you speak, I can understand a country bumpkin like you would never be able to pay price for that antique vase but to save your neck you are saying my father''s gift is a fake? You really are shameless!!" "I am saying the truth, this vase is a fake" Jing Yi replied confidently, "Oh, and how is that?" Li Wei snickered with a clear challenge in her voice,The two women''s quarrel attracted more an more attention. The group of people playing mahjong also noticed it and joined the scene. As soon as the Marshal saw it was Jing Yi who was creating a scene, his face was stunned momentarily and then slowly he shook his head in disappointment. "It is fake!" Jing Yi repeated, Lu Ming looked from the sideline silently with deep eyes. Li Wei sneered with disdain and thinking about how Lu Ming will react to Jing Yi''s behavior she secretly glanced at him. He was calm as usual, was he not afraid his wife was humiliating him as well? Is he even afraid of anything? With her hands folded around her chest, Li Wei looked sharply at Jing Yi and spoke with a bitter smile, "Alright, if you think it is a fake then it''s a fake, the doctor has already said you are mentally retarded. It''s my fault, I shouldn''t have engaged with a fool in a matter like this!" The hall erupted in sudden whispers all around, most of them have heard about Jing Yi''s suicide attempt but they didn''t know that caused her to become neurologically damaged! No wonder she acted so brave today, it must be because she is not in her right state of mind! How can fool differentiate between real and fake antiques anyway? She must be asking for trouble intentionally! These kinds of talks were coming from all directions, Jing Yi''s face sank as she looked a the pointed looks and mocking grins. "Li Wei, do you know what you are talking about?" Suddenly a cold voice came, Li Wei was scared and the smile fell from her face, no one in the hall dares to speak at that moment. Seeing Lu Ming, Li Wei quickly explained and tried to clear herself, "Brother Lu! What I said isn''t wrong, the doctor has examined her and said she has damaged her brain! If she isn''t stupid then why else would she label that antique porcelain vase as a fake?" "Chairman Lu, Jing Yi is only an illegitimate child who grew in the countryside, she has no quality and speaks with no sense! Sister Li clearly didn''t mean to offend you, you don''t have to take it to the heart!"Fang Zhenxi who was Li Wei''s secretary, as well as the woman who caused the vase to shatter immediately, came to Li Wei''s side. All the despising looks were directed at Jing Yi. Chapter 78 - 78 Challenge Not only Li Wei and her secretary but everyone else looked at Jing Yi as if she was some villianess. A countryside woman with a damaged brain is denying the authenticity of an antique? If it wasn''t a joke then what was? Jing Yi glanced at Lu Ming and then looked at Li Wei. Li Wei had said she was a fool and now everyone was looking at her like she actually was a fool! Just because that old man from brothel said she is a fool, they are really treating her as one? Not only that but now after hearing the woman in red Jing Yi remembered the owner of the previous body was also an illegitimate child. No wonder everyone looked strangely at her when she came here. In front of her, this woman named Li Wei dared to be so cruel and arrogant and ''uncle'' didn''t even care at first...was something going on between those two? Her eyes narrowed a little but instead of anger, there was only coldness present behind them. Everyone was looking down at her. She was a princess and now they labeled her as a fool for no cause. How bad the original owner of the body created an impression over everyone? But it doesn''t matter now! She will tell them who the actual fool is! "You said I am a fool but what evidence do you have? I think you are talking nonsense here, Mrs. Li" Jing Yi smiled calmly, "..." Mrs...? She is not married! She doesn''t even have a boyfriend! Li Wei was about to burst from anger but she has to maintain noble and elegant image here especially in front of Lu Ming Even when she was angry she could only clench her teeth together and try not to snap out. "Are you saying the doctor from the Military District Hospital will give a fake certificate?" Li Wei laughed, "As long as it is something that can be done, isn''t it possible for that to happen? Who knows if you framed me to spoil my image?" Jing Yi asked, There were a lot of people who agreed and nodded, nowadays it was possible to have a fake for almost anything! "You..." Li Wei never knew that this Jing Yi from the countryside can be so vocal let alone present such contradiction, Jing Yi continued: "Since you said that I am a fool, I think you are an idiot. How about we test each other right here and right now?" "I need to compete with a mentally retarded person now?" Li Wei couldn''t help but chuckle, "Sister Li can easily beat you in anything, we all know that but for you to come up with such an idea, don''t you care about your image which would be tarnished after this match?" Jing Yi glanced at the red woman, it could be seen the two were together. There was a high possibility even the breaking of the vase was planned. She only glanced at her coldly,Fang Zheng continued: "Alright your wish could be granted, what are the rules?" "We ask each of the other three questions of common sense, the one that is a fool would clearly be unable to answer them" Jing Ti replied looking at Li Wei, This fool really have guts to challenge her? Li Wei wanted to vomit blood. Chapter 79 - The Princess And The Secretary鈥檚 Showdown Li Yu was so angry that she can vomit blood, this fool really dare challenge her brain? Everyone was looking at them, there was no way Li Wei could allow herself to lose! After little thinking, she asked, "The best new limited-edition bag that Luss bought on the market this year, What is the material it is made of? Who is its endorser? Who designed the concept?" She couldn''t believe that a person from the countryside would be able to answer this question about luxury, and everyone in this room knows about this bag, it was also a common sense related question! Not to mention even the company employees didn''t know about the concept design, even if somehow she is able to answer the first two questions, there way she can answer them all! Lu Ming frowned once he heard the question, Jing Yi has never been interested in the Lu Company''s products. She won''t'' be able to answer this question... But to everyone''s surprise, Jing Yi who was standing aside smiled without a trace of hesitation and with eyes full of confidence. "Isn''t it the deer skin? I thought you will ask something more intellectual, is it all you can do?" she asked Li Wei, "Don''t try to avoid the question, I know you can''t answer the rest!" Li Wei clutched her hands into a fist and replied with a tight smile, There were some snickers from the crowd while some guests didn''t found the situation funny. Jing Yi laughed softly and ignored the grins pointed at her, "If this question isn''t stupid then what is? Jing Xi is my brother. You think I wouldn''t know something he endorsed?" In fact, Jing Yi didn''t know about the bag earlier but last night she had seen a commercial where Jing Xi gifts bag to a girl. The advertisement also mentioned the bag was from Lu Corp and was a limited edition. "..." Li Wei''s eyes were wide after she heard the correct answer, she had even forgotten that Jing Xi was Jing Yi''s brother. Except for Li Wei''s parents, almost everyone laughed at the ''tough'' question Li Wei had asked. It seemed like the secretary of Chairman Lu was not only short-tempered but has also some issues with the brain. Lu Ming stepped forward and looked at Jing Yi with a faint smile on his lips, but his next words directed at Lu Wei, "Not only that but the question you asked didn''t have anything to do with common sense it was a question about general knowledge" However, it was also true that Jing Yi had used her common sense to answer it. Li Wei turned red and cold and quickly explained herself, "Chairman Lu, it was just a small mistake! I will never do something similar at work!" "So you admit defeat?" "But Jing Yi had yet to answer the third question! Who designed the concept of the bag?" "The question is not about common sense" Lu Ming''s voice carried clear warning causing Li Wei to turn pale in an instant, "I know the answer" Jing Yi''s voice took everyone''s attention, this was something only a few people know. Chapter 80 - A Face Slap It was you, right?" Jing Yi smiled and turned toward Lu Ming. "..." Only the members of the company who participated while those meetings for the design were aware of this, so when Jing Yi answered no one reacted right-away, As for those two, Li Wei and Lu Ming were still trying to think how could Jing Yi possibly know the answer to this question. The question in her answer didn''t go unnoticed by Lu Ming and he slightly raised an eyebrow, "Wasn''t the concept designed by you, Lu Ming?" Jing Yi repeated, Lu Ming turned his deep intense eyes and looked at Jing Yi, and gave a slight nod. It was clear the trick she used but he didn''t speak much and instead asked Li Wei in a cold voice, "Are you going to admit your defeat now?" Li Wei could clearly feel the hostile cold air directed at her and shivered unconsciously, but she still has a chance to win! "Brother Lu, Jing Yi hadn''t asked question yet!" Jing Yi smiled and without wasting any time lifted one index finger in the air, "What is this?" "..." Li Wei didn''t know what to feel at that, such a naive question! Is Jing Yi really stupid? or was she mocking her? With gritted teeth, Li Wei replied, "Don''t mock me, Jing Yiren! Is that even a question?!" Jing Yi pouted and asked innocently, "Is it too hard for you?" Li Wei took a deep breath to contain her frustration and replied bitterly, "It''s one!" Jing Yi''s eyebrow raised slightly and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips, "This is my index finger, smart woman" The living hall erupted in laughter and snickers. "Jing Yi...!" "I asked what is this, not how many is this. How come your understanding abilities are this bad?" "..." The audience continued to laugh and laugh. Li Wei had lost in her own game pretty badly, even with three questions she was unable to defeat Jing Yi while it took only one question from the other party to defeat her. It was a slap in the face. With such intelligence how can she claim others have a problem with their brain? Li Wei turned away sharply and stomped toward Marshal Lu, he will definitely help her deal with this Yiren! How dare she humiliate her in front of everyone like this?! After this incident Feng Zheng had also lost her face and didn''t dare to stay in front of Lu Ming any longer, she also left. The guests also went back to minding their own business once the competition was over. Lu Ming was pleased by Jing Yiren''s behavior, especially by the fact that she has started showing an interest in his company. Jing Yi glanced at him and was surprised when he smiled, she thought he was on Li Wei''s side and would be angry at her... She pouted and turned her face away angrily. Madam Lu who has changed clothes now saw Li Wei running in frustration and angrily yelled at Jing Yi, "What trouble have you caused now, can''t you stay in peace for a single moment?!" "..." Jing Yi couldn''t understand why Madam Lu got angry all of sudden now, it was not Jing Yi who started it, It was also clear to her that Li Wei is well-loved by the family here. "Ah..." she tried to explain the truth, Lu Ming pulled her waist and brought her closer, "Today''s your birthday, you shouldn''t let yourself get angry over these small matter" Chapter 81 - A Summon From The Marshal "It''s not a day for you to bother yourself with these petty matters, Jing Yi and Li Wei were only having a small competition," Lu Ming said casually, Madam Lu coldly glared at Jing Yi and left. She had always hated her, if it wasn''t for the Jing Family to trick Lu Ming into marrying Jing Yi, Madam Lu would have been able to marry her son to a far better choice! A maid came and cleared the shattered vase. Jing Yi looked the angry birthday star and stood on her toes as she leaned closer and whispered into Lu Ming''s ear, "Uncle, am I in trouble?" Lu Ming looked at her pretty face which carried a touch of nervousness and yet succeeded in looking irresistible. "You are in no trouble" he pinched her nose and couldn''t help but smile, Jing Yi wanted to scream but asked, "Really? But I broke the porcelain vase..." Lu Ming really liked this new Jing Yi, it was as if her whole aura has been changed, she looked more beautiful and smarter than before. "Didn''t you said it was a fake?" "Yes! It was really a fake!" "How do you know?" Lu Ming asked, "The porcelain is like wood, with time its color changes, it was clearly a fake porcelain vase made to look older..." Jing Yi said and stopped herself halfway realizing she might make him suspicious like this. But Lu Ming only smiled and patted her head, "Don''t worry, as long as your husband is here you can play however you want" Jing Yi''s heart skipped a beat. These were the exact words her imperial uncle has once said to her, he promised no harm can come to her as long as she is with him... But in the end, it was he who gave her a poisonous cup... She wanted to go back and ask him why, after he loved her so much, he killed her in the end? But that can never happen now. "Uncle..." she asked, "Have you ever heard of Lu Yuan?" Lu Ming slightly frowned, and replied, "There are more than 160 countries in the world...but I have never heard of any Lu Yuan" "What about the legends? or in history?" Jing Yi saw him slowly shake his head and was disappointed, Seeing her Lu Ming reached forward and stroked her cheek, "Don''t worry, I will search it for you when we get back" A glimmer of hope came inside her eyes and with a soft grin, she nodded. At this time, a servant came over bowed in front of them, "Young Master, The Master would like to see Miss Jing" "Alone" he added, Lu Ming eyebrow slightly raised, The servant turned to Jing Yi, "Miss Jing, please come with me" The servant took her to the second floor, inside a room two man were sitting facing each other and were playing a match of Go. Behind one of the men stood Li Wei with a proud grin pointed toward Jing Yi. The servant went to the man sitting on the left and bowed respectfully, "Master Lu, Miss Jing is here" Chapter 82 - 82 A Match Of Go! "Master Lu, Miss Jing is here" The Marshal let a faint heavy sigh, followed by a dismissive gesture by the hand holding a black piece, the servant bowed and left, "Li Wei, you should leave as well" Li Wei smiled and nodded, "Yes, Uncle Lu" She glared at Jing Yi before leaving the room and left with a victorious look. Jing Yi ignored her and saw that the Marshal was concentrating on the board intently pondering over his next move. He watched the board for a long time, and found a loophole in front of him. He went ahead to make his move, "You will die there," Jing Yi who was silently standing aside said all of sudden, "Arrogant girl! Don''t barge into a match like this! How can you challenge the Marshal''s tactics like this?" The old man in a suit yelled at Jing Yi. "What I am saying is true" Jing Yi retorted and pointed a finger to the board, "This game is about to end, what tactics? "On the surface, the Marshal is winning, but in fact, it''s the other way around" Jing Yi pointed to the place where the Marshal was about to place his piece, "This is an 18-story hell if you make that move you will lose your eighteen pieces!" The Marshal raised his eyebrows, the girl was indeed right and he had failed to notice the trap in time. Not only that but he also noticed this trap was flawless and well planned. "Ah, then why don''t you tell me where I should move?" the Marshal asked curiously, "If you move that piece, you can easily win in one move" Jing Yi pointed at a white piece, The Marshal was once again surprised by her, what she was was true and even he had failed to notice that possible move in clear sight. "Little Girl, you are also a master in Go it seems" the Marshal praised, "How about you and I play one round?" "Sure!" The old man who looked silently at the girl stood up and gave her his seat. Jing Yi sat on the soft mahogany chair and the two began rearranging the board, with a polite smile she said, "Though you are my respected elder, that does not mean I will let you easily win"The Marshal laughed at that and replied, "Great confidence you have! But the match has yet to start, little girl" "Since you''ve called me little girl, I will be bold enough to make the first move" Jing Yi was not at polite and a little excited to play the game, The old man laughed and the match began. He didn''t expect Jing Yi to be this good. Her posture was calm and her moves were well calculated, she kept up with the Marshal''s skill and though he was not much anxious while playing with this little girl he has to think carefully before proceeding. Chapter 83 - 83 The Marshals Opinion Is Changed An hour passed as the game continued. It was only then, the Marshal realized that he has summoned Jing Yi here to discuss something else. Without pausing the game he spoke in a faint voice, "As the saying goes, the person who plays Go has a delicate and patient mind, then why did you bully Li Wei?" Jing Yi kept her gaze over the board and a shallow smile formed over her lips, "But it wasn''t I who did the bullying" The Marshal glanced at her, he had only met her thrice after Lu Ming married her, and hence there was no personal opinion he had for her, but he had heard rumors and all those gossips from a variety of people. However, the person he saw in front of him does not seem disrespectful and indecent. On the contrary, she emitted an air of elegance and was a straightforward woman. So, when she said she didn''t bully, Marshal Lu believed her. "Although you did nothing wrong, due to your reputation everyone will point their fingers at you nevertheless" Jing Yi moved a piece and her attention was still on board as she replied, "I don''t care about what others think, I did nothing wrong, so why should I bother?"Jing Yi could have said she was framed or something like that, but instead, her replay had made the Marshal pleased. And he believed her words, the Jing Yi in front of him was completely different from the rumors, she was smart and graceful not to mention skilled as well. After all, you can''t believe everything you hear. Marshal Lu laughed after Jing Yi said this, earlier he hated this daughter-in-law but now he knew the rumors were just rumors. They continued with the match, and the headmaster realized Jing Yi was more good than imagined, he decided she was smart and sensing the change in Marshal Lu, Jing Yi realized that if she succeeds in creating a good image in front of him, she might be able to remove the dirt from old Jing Yi''s name. The Marshal was a powerful person in the city, who would dare question his opinion? Now that she had shown she was no weak player in Go, she decided to hold back a little and let the Marshal win. "I heard you broke my porcelain vase?" "..." Jing Yi looked a little embarrassed, "Th-I didn''t mean it! And it was also not authentic...!" The Marshal paused and looked at her, followed a smile, "Child, don''t be too direct in the wording your thoughts, that can offend people. Sometimes you need to talk in a roundabout away" "But won''t that mean being dishonest?" Judging by his reaction, it seemed as the Marshal knew about the vase being a fake all along, "Humans have always been dishonest..." "Then I refuse! Instead of being dishonest I would take rather take the consequences"The Marshal was impressed and chuckled again. The game continued for two more hours, someone had came and requested the Marshal to meet guests now but he wasn''t listening. It''s been years since he had a match this interesting. It was probably a first. Chapter 84 - Offending Her Is Offending The Lu Family Until the game came to a conclusion, none of them left the room. It was the first time, Marshal Lu played with such an compatible opponent. Although he lost, he only lost by two minor pieces, hinting toward his great skills. The old man nodded his head and praised Jing Yi from time to time. After the game ended, they went downstairs for dinner. Down at the banquet, Marshal Lu naturally sat on the master seat of the dinning table. On the left was Madam Lu and on the right was Lu Ming''s seat but he hadn''t arrived there yet. Li Wei smiled pleasantly but behind her eyes was a cunning look. She proudly went ahead and said, "Uncle Lu, Auntie is getting younger and younger every year! Her dress looks so good too!" She hated it in reality because it was a gift from Jing Yi but for the sake of buttering, she praised it. "Ah, Li Wei you are always so sweet!" Madam Lu exclaimed and laughed,Li Wei returned the same pleasant smile and was about sit beside them. Just then Marsha Lu patted the seat and called Jing Yi who just walked in the sight, "Yiren, come and sit here" Li Wei: "..." Madam Lu: "..." The look of cold resentment was over their face and they glanced bitterly as Jing Yi walked toward the table. Then Li Wei immediately recovered herself and smiled in her usual pleasant way, "Jing Yi! You are really talented, you are skilled in go! No wonder the Marshal has taken a liking to you" She had heard this from her father, it turned out she had underestimated Jing Yi too much! The Marshal was a fan of go, after one game he had already changed his view about her! Jing Yi knew what kind of person Li Wei was, she can smile and talk sweet with a black heart. Her dishonesty made Jing Yi hate her even more. Jing Yi returned the smile, "It''s just that... anything I can do...is something you can''t" "..." Li Wei did not know from where came this Jing Yi with such self-confidence and such a sharp tongue. Clutching her fists she glanced at the Marshal, but he sat as if nothing happened. She pressed her lips tightly and turned away without waiting for herself to be more insulted. Lu Ming sat next to Jing Yi. Madam Lu coldly looked at her, she had always hated her and now this bold girl even caused Li Wei to leave in such a way! Li Wei was the daughter in law in Madam Lu''s heart she would have preferred if she was sitting in Jing Yi''s place, but her old man''s abnormal behavior today made her uncomfortable. She glanced at Jing Yi and nudged her husband with her elbow, "You see how disrespectful Yiren was just now?"But the Marshal ignored her and waited for everyone to attend to the table. Once everyone was seated, the birthday banquet officially began. With a glass of wine in his hand, Marshal Lu stood up and everyone else followed."Welcome and thank you to everyone who took out time from their busy schedules to attend this party today" "The head is polite!" Everyone responded in unison! "There is one another thing I would like to say. From now on whoever tried to spread false rumors about my daughter in law and thus disrespects the whole Lu Family, shouldn''t blame for turning my back on them!" Chapter 85 - Li Weis Talent "There is one another thing I would like to say. From now on whoever tries to spread false rumors about my daughter in law and thus disrespects the whole Lu Family, shouldn''t blame for turning my back on them!" The hall was silent for a few seconds, but who would want the Marshal to be angered so everyone agreed without much thought. The Marshal was a person who had both power and respect. After that, some of the guests even talked about how Jing Yi has helped capture a serial killer. "Miss Jingjing is now a hero of S City. She has seized an international criminal by bare hands! How can a girl who is so enthusiastic provoke those gossips? The rumors must be a work of someone jealous!" "Indeed!" Others nodded in agreement, and just like that it seemed as if no one was against Jing Yi anymore. The people who had once spoke ill for her were now praising her. Lu Ming smiled at that but looked indifferently. He knew changing someone''s opinion isn''t this easy, most of the guests still harbor negative feelings for Jing Yi but the him and the Marshal present here, no one dare to say anything bad for her. Today, Jing Yi has averted the wave of negativity that was directed her way since she came and only with her own skills. Li Wei, who heard this, was so angry that her nails dug inside her clutched fists. She never knew Jing Yi was this smart, never expected something like this to ever happen! She had been following Lu Ming and the Lu Family for so many years now, but never was favored like this from the Marshal! After the toast, everyone sat back on their seats. Madam Lu pulled her husband''s sleeve, indicating her displeasure at what he just did. He only smiled and whispered in her ear, "This child is not as bad as you think" She was not happy with the reply, but since the Marshal has put his trust in Jing Yi, she didn''t say anything. At the same table, Li Haoran looked at his daughter who was smoldering and whispered, "You said they were going to divorce! Why does it look the complete opposite?" "Like I would know! She suddenly changed!" Li Wei whispered in reply, Li Haoran glanced at the direction of the living room, a piano placed was against the wall, "Play the birthday song on the piano when the cake is cut" "..." Li Wei immediately understood the meaning of his father''s words and grinned. Jing Yi had made fun of herself when she played the piano last time! She was grown in the countryside in a poor atmosphere, she had no money back then and hence never got any education for the musical arts. It was another of the Lu''s celebration feast, she wasn''t married to Lu Ming back then and everyone requested the bride-to-be to present a song. They had heard she had taken education in some elite music academy, but the truth was out soon. She had made fun of herself, her skills in music were more than bad. Today, history would be repeated. Jing Yi will humiliate herself once again, how can the marshal favor her after that? As she was thinking, Li Wei saw a servant bring the cake. Li Wei took the initiative to stand up and smiled toward Madam Lu, "Auntie! Let me play a song!" Madam Lu nodded with a smile, "Alright, you would be a perfect choice for that!" Li Wei left toward the piano. Sitting elegantly in front of the piano, she opened the piano lid. Chapter 86 - No Talent For Piano Li Wei''s slender fingers were soft, elegant, and skillfully stroking the keys, as the maid placed the cake in front of Madam Lu. Her perfectly manicured fingers danced like a butterfly on the piano keys. The melodious birthday song filled the air and wandered across the hall. It was the second time Jing Yi has come to such a birthday celebration, so she wasn''t surprised when the huge layered cake came and joined everyone in singing the birthday song. Madam Lu blew the candles and everyone applauded. Li Wei finished the melody, but instead of going back to her seat she simply stood up and stayed there. "Everyone! Today is our lady''s birthday, I wish her youthfulness and beauty for the next upcoming years!" Another round of applaud was made for Li Wei''s words, Madam Lu smiled and said, "You are always so sweet!" Li Wei smiled and shifted her gaze to Jing Yi, "Yiren! It''s such a delightful day today since you are an elite music student, how about you show us your talent?" Everyone''s eyes turned toward Jing Yi. The Marshal smiled and was looking forward to it, "Go ahead," he said with a smile, He had felt a classical and elegant air around Jing Yiren, and after seeing her play the game so skillfully he was sure she can perform well with the piano as well. Not everyone was present when Jing Yi had embarrassed herself last time, but Lu Ming was and he knew exactly what Li Wei was planning. He coldly glared at her. The previous Jing Yi couldn''t play it, but there were a lot of things the new Jing Yi has shown him. His eyes turned toward her and he softly asked, "Can you play it?" "..." Can you play it? Play it my foot! She had never even seen that instrument in her life before! Let alone practice it! Jing Yi stood up and pushed back her chair. She noticed the Marshal''s cheery face who was looking forward to it and nervously gulped. "Erm...I...I need to go to the washroom" Li Wei smirked and then laughed loudly, "Well, I am waiting for you, Yiren! We all are waiting for you!" There was no way Jing Yi could escape now, her excuse was only going to delay it for a little longer. Jing Yi turned and left for the washroom. Lu Ming was about to follow her when she turned and smiled at him as if it was nothing. Was she really in a dilemma or what? Lu Ming stayed in his original position. Jing Yi entered the bathroom and locked the door. She closed the lid of the toilet seat and sat above, clutching her hair. The previous Jing Yi must have been good at playing the piano, but this new Jing Yi couldn''t do it. And she was afraid if she doesn''t play the piano, ''Uncle'' might be suspicious of her and things may become complicated. Then what was she supposed to do? How can she pull herself out from this situation? She stood up and washed her hands in the sink and looked at her reflection in the mirror. For the first lady''s birthday, even the washroom was decorated in red ribbons and was very bright. Her hair was a little messed up and the hairstyle was almost ruined. After a little while, a sudden thought flashed in her mind. She fixed her hair, washed her hair and walked out with a confident smile. Chapter 87 - Talents For Eating And Walking Back in the hall, Jing Yi walked confidently and instead of going to her seat she walked toward Li Wei who was near the piano. She stood in front of the piano and turned to face everyone, "How many people can play the piano here? Please raise your hand" Every relative and friend belonged from rich background, so there were only a few who didn''t know how to play the piano. One by one almost everyone raised there hands. Whether the person was in his seventies or a small boy of four, there were hands raised from about ninety percent of the guests. A childish voice delightedly said, "Auntie! I can play piano too!" Jing Yi turned and saw a small boy near her feet, she smiled and bent as she poked his head gently, "How old are you, younger brother?" "Three and a half years old!" "..." Li Wei on the side couldn''t understand what on earth was Jing Yiren doing, "Okay, everyone can lower their hands now" Jing Yi turned toward Li Wei, "You want me to show my talent, but is playing the piano even a talent?" "..." "You see even a three-year-old doll can play the piano, almost everyone here can, so how is it even a talent?" The birthday song that Li Wei played before was very elegant and pleasant. And now Jing Yi said it was worthless? Even a three-year-old child can do this? "What are you talking about...?" she asked with gritted teeth, But Jing Yi ignored her and turned back to the guests, "Everyone here can play piano just like everyone here can walk and eat if playing the piano is a talent won''t that make eating and walking a talent as well? Should I perform them as well?" After Jing Yi was finished, people couldn''t help but laugh, when Li Wei performed they didn''t think about it but now after Jing Yi pointed it out it was clear that what Li Wei has done couldn''t even be called a talent! "Why are you making excuses? Admit you can''t play the piano!" Li Wei was furious by all this, she wanted Jing Yi to humiliate herself not this! "Well, yes I don''t want to play piano," Jing Yi said and glanced at the piano, "It''s not even talent, why should I offer the first lady something like this?" Li Wei sighed and looked at Jing Yi, "Well then, I will see what sort of talent from the countryside, you will perform!" "Li Wei!" Marshal Lu exclaimed, he had always thought Li Wei was a well behaved and good-natured girl, but now she was saying such words, Li Wei was so scared that she didn''t dare to say anything more. Jing Yi smiled confidently and looked at Marshal Lu, "Are here some leather drums at home?" "Yes" he replied, For a lot of traditional festivals, the drums were needed, though not everyone uses them nowadays the Lu Family has them. "What do you want to do?" Lu Ming looked at her, worried that she would do something amazingly ridiculous, "What else? I am only going to show my talent" Jing Yi said walking toward the gates "Can I ask Father in law to have eight drums sent to the courtyard?" The Marshal gestured the closest servant and not fully understanding what was about to happen, everyone goes outside. Chapter 88 - Princess Talent Everyone gathers around the courtyard, curious on what kind of talent Jing Yi would perform. The eight drums were placed in a circular pattern. Jing Yi pulled a large red ribbon from the door and with a soft kick to the ground, flew in the center of the drums. Everyone looked at Jing Yi in amazement. No one expected her to be so light and flexible to do this. With red satin in her jade arms, she looked like a beautiful phoenix as she swirled elegantly. The soft satin hit the drum creating a surprisingly hard thud sound. Everyone was shocked. How can a satin ring the drum like this? Li Wei narrowed her eyes, how was Jing Yi doing this? Has she installed some wires and such? Otherwise, how could she flew like and dance like this? As the drums rang in a powerful but pleasing rhythm, everyone thought something must be attached to the end of the satin ribbon, otherwise how was this even possible? But even if something was actually tied, this dance Jing Yi performed was fascinating and lively in itself. It was the dance of the ''Flying Swan'' she has practiced and performed several time in past with almost ease. But since this body was not as flexible and strong as her previous one, it was a little hard. But even then, the friends and relatives on the scene were fascinated, this kind of dance was something they had only seen in movies before. They didn''t expected to see it in reality, Jing Yi''s momentum was perfect and movements mesmerizing. Every action was beautiful! She looked like a beautiful swan with red feathers. The sense of rhythm was undulating! Without any soundtrack in the background, the dance still was perfect, the rhythm from the drum alone was enough and perfect in tune with her swan like movements. Everyone was in amazement. Especially Lu Ming, watching Jing Yi with deep eyes that didn''t moved once from her. Once her performance ended, the red satin slowly settled down on the ground. It looked as if a phoenix was emerging from the fire. Beautiful and enchanting. Jing Yi was covered in sweat and her chest was taking calming breaths slowly. Lu Ming walked toward her and wiped her sweat with his handkerchief, "Tired?" he softly asked, Jing Yi nodded her head slowly. She was so tired that her internal strength was drained and her body was exhausted. Lu Ming lifted her in his arms without any delay and she leaned her head against him, slowly feeling the exhaustion take over. A roar of enthusiastic applaud broke from the guests once the realized the mesmerizing performance was over. No one has ever seen a dance like this before in their life. The Marshal was even more convinced that Jing Yi was nothing like the rumors, she was a noble woman with noble talent! (More like Royal) Her dance was both lively and pleasing. Lu Ming took his tired wife away from the courtyard. Li Wei on the other side was gnashing her teeth and trembling with rage. Her limelight was robbed by Jing Yi, and she was also humiliated, how would be she able to bring her face again to the Lu Family House? Chapter 89 - Could She Be Pregnant...? At the end of the birthday banquet, Lu Ming found that Jing Yi was more tired and after a few glasses of wine, she was already in a drowsy state. Lu Ming admired how her cheeks were flushed red and she looked vulnerable but still beautiful, her body swayed and leaned against him. She was already asleep and her soft warm breath tickled his skin. "What do you think of her?" Madam Lu asked her son, after today''s performance her views on Jing Yi were changed, and she wanted to know if her son has feelings for Jingyi he once hated, Lu Ming pretended not to hear her and lifted Jing Yi in his arms, "We should be leaving then, Jing Yi is tired" "She fell asleep while sitting, could she be pregnant...?" Madam Lu didn''t even realize when she put her thoughts in words and then looked at her son with wide eyes, The heads of several guests around the table turned toward them, everyone wanted an answer. "Ming-er, Is Yiren...?" Lu Ming suddenly felt a strange heat inside him and stood, "Erm...we''re not sure yet! We''ve hadn''t done the check-up yet and...ah...we should be leaving then! "With that Lu Ming said his goodbyes, turned and left. On the way back, the sky was getting darker and stormier as raindrops hailed down from heavens. The wiper went back and forth as it swept the water splashing on the car. In the back seat, Jing Yi was sleeping soundly with her head rested on Lu Ming''s thighs. He gently stroked her hair away and looked at her peaceful sleeping face. Her big lashes were closed, below was her delicate little nose and then there were soft pink lips parted a little as she breathed in and out. Lu Ming thought about what her mother had said about Yiren being pregnant. He knew how much his father desired for a grandchild. But the relationship between him and Jing Yi... They have never done that... Earlier he didn''t want to touch her... And now it was the opposite... As Lu Ming was thinking, unconsciously his one eyebrow raised. Jing Yi had always been strange, but it was only now that he felt affected by that. Due to the rain, the car was driving a slower speed, not to mention it was a rush hour and there was a traffic jam every now and then. After half an hour, the car stopped all of sudden. "What happened?" Lu Ming asked faintly, "..." The driver''s expression looked helpless as he looked back, "Master Lu, The engine is probably frozen..." Lu Ming scorned, raised his arm and looked at the watch. It was a ride of two more hours to the home, with this traffic it the distance would be covered in three hours. If a car would be called from the house, the overall journey would be delayed by a significant amount of time. "Have the house send another car, search for the nearest hotel" Lu Ming wrapped Jing Yi in his coat and scooped her in his arms. The driver immediately took out his phone and made a quick search. After about two minutes he replied, "Master Lu, there is a four-star hotel nearby, but if you want a five star, it is far..."Lu Ming opened the door and walked out with Jing Yi, she was mostly protected by rain and it wasn''t possible to get easily sick like this. "Inform me once the car is here" Chapter 90 - Two Heavens Of Ice And Fire "Yes" The driver responded and made a call from his phone, Lu Ming held Jing Yi carefully like she was a young child in need of extreme care and walked in the watery drizzle. The cold raindrops created a layer of fog, as he walked with her in his arms the scene almost looked like some nostalgic oil painting. Jing Yi has danced today with liveliness and energy, she was like as graceful and elegant like water. In Lu Ming''s arms, she felt light as a feather. Her head was buried in his shoulder closer to his neck. The coat that covered her carried Lu Ming''s unique fragrance and floated inside her as she breathed. She started to dream. Inside the dream, she saw the emperor surrounded by a bunch of kids who followed him wherever he went. The emperor was annoyed by the children and decided to gave up his throne and as he was walking away, his long hair became shorter and his imperial robes turned into an office suit, he opened the door and left for office. Her dream contained both of the timelines and their collision made Jing Yi confused. Lu Ming closed the room of the hotel suite while carrying Jing Yi. The room was not much bad compared to that of a five-star hotel, it was just as refined and elegant as a five star one. Only the size of the room was a little smaller. Lu Ming''s phone rang and afraid she might wake up, he quickly but carefully placed Jing Yi on the bed. "Hello?" On the other end of the phone, there was a loud voice, "Is my sister here yet? The concert is about to begin...!" "..." Lu Ming didn''t bother hanging up the call and shut down the phone directly before throwing it on a table. Lu Ming''s shirt was soaked wet and clinging to his body revealing his well-toned abs. He took off his shirt and went to the bathroom. Ten minutes later, Lu Ming has taken a shower and came out of the bathroom. There was only a bath towel around his waist, as the clothes were wet. As he wiped his messy wet hair with a towel in one hand he walked toward the landline phone and told the hotel staff to bring a pair of clothes of this size and from this brand. He hung up threw the towel away and walked toward the bed, after a few minutes'' hesitations he laid down and slipped inside the blankets. Since the last conflict, Lu Ming has not slept in the same bed with Jing Yi. He was afraid that something like last time might happen again. Sharing a bed with her was a torment for him. After a little thought, he decided it was unlikely to happen again. Although the current Jing Yi was different from the previous one, it was only his hate for her that had changed. As for those feelings he felt at that time...he was only too tired. Lu Ming closed his eyes, with complete control over his feelings and was sure everything would be alright. Jing Yi was too lost in her dreams and unconsciously rolled over and hugged Lu Ming in a way that her body was completely wrapped around him. "..." Lu Ming''s body was obviously stiff and frozen. He was surrounded by her warm body fragrance, the soft warm touch of her skin and wetness of her skirt was slightly cold against his body. Lu Ming felt that he was covered by ice and fire, and his chest was on fire and it was cold where her wet dress touched him. Lu Ming slowly looked over at Jing Yi, she was still asleep, her beautiful close to him. Chapter 91 - You Are Hurt, Let Me See! Lu Ming slowly looked over at Jing Yi, she was sleeping very well, her soft skin was touching him, they were so close that a little effort and he could almost taste her lips. Lu Ming looked at her for a while and unconsciously gulped. Closing his eyes he pushed her hands and kicked her legs away, and then turned over his back to her. Lu Ming''s strength was a bit fierce, and the soft pain caused Jing Yi to immediately wake up. Slowly she rubbed her eyes and looked blankly at Lu Ming''s bareback until she was fully awake. She noticed this was an unfamiliar place and didn''t know who was the naked man with her in the bed. Instinctively, she made sure she was fully dressed and then nervously stretched her neck to see who was this man. When she found out it was only Lu Ming, a sigh of relief escaped her. Jing Yi extended a small hand and nudged Lu Ming. "Uncle, how did you forgot to wear clothes again?" "..." Lu Ming kept his eyes closed, and refused to respond. closed his eyes, lying flat and not moving! Jing Yi took back her hand and noticed the swelling below Lu Ming''s waist. Her eyes went wide, she remembered it happened when he was injured last time, was he injured again? As she was thinking she sneaked a glimpse of Lu Ming''s face, his eyes were closed and it seemed as if he was asleep. Last time, she was not allowed to see it, but tonight she can take a look. If the injury is serious, he couldn''t be allowed to ignore it like this! She held her breath and carefully removed the blanket, then she gently swept her long sleeves and went toward the towel around him. Her fingers brushed his skin and subconsciously he trembled. Jing Yi froze and immediately retracted her hand, she peeked to make sure he was still asleep and went ahead. Her fingers folded around the edge of the towel. "What are you trying to do?" a cold voice asked, "..."She gulped and nervously smiled at him, "Uncle, you are hurt. Let me see!" "..." Lu Ming''s face turned darker and coldly he replied, "Move, I am not hurt" A stern look came over Jing Yi and she held the towel firmly. "Uncle, you shouldn''t ignore your health like this! It could be something serious! let me see it!" Lu Ming immediately grabbed his towel as he felt a strong tug at the end, but Jing Yi wasn''t going to leave it like that. She grabbed the towel with both of her hands and in one harsh movement, it was stripped from Lu Ming''s waist. Chapter 92 - A Hand-chop. A Cut. A Slit! Once the towel was completely gone, Lu Ming''s face turned redder and redder. He froze from inexplicable feelings and Jing Yi was frozen for some time as well. "Ah!!!" a scream followed, Lu Ming immediately reacted and covered Jing Yi''s mouth as he pinned her down against his body. Jing Yi slowly removed Lu Ming''s hand, her face was pale and scared, "Uncle..." her breaths were a little uneven, Lu Ming could feel the heat all over him, "Tha-That thing...it swollen so much, you should get it treated!" "..." Lu Ming''s face turned colder and Jing Yi could tell he was angry but she had done nothing wrong this time, she was only trying to help him. Nervously she said, "Uncle...are you... do you... do you have tumor there?" she pointed down, He has been drinking medicines...and Jing Yi has learned about tumors from the TV. Lu Ming''s deep, cold eyes were fixed on her and he did not give any response. Since he was silent, Jing Yi concluded she was right and he must have either a tumor or some of those STD diseases. He was shy about this after-all... "Uncle, the doctor can cure it...it will be alright..." she smiled so as to comfort him, "It''s easy to cure tumors, the procedure is swift and the pain won''t last for long." She motioned her hands as she added, "A hand-chop. A Cut. A Slit! Problem Solved!" Lu Ming''s face turned colder and his eyes were getting darker and darker. Nervously, Jing Yi licked her lips. What did she say wrong? Lu Ming glared at her, a blue vein popped over his head. An uncomfortable silence followed, and finally, Jing Yi couldn''t bear it anymore. "Uncle...I ...only want to solve your problem for a lifetime..." Lu Ming gnashed her teeth and the last bit of his self restrain was gone as he clamped her chin and forced her to look at him, "A hand-chop? A cut? A slit? Do you think you can solve my problem like this..?" "Th-then how...?" Jing Yi asked sincerely, "I-I want to help you..." She was only worried for him but that fierce look from his face said otherwise. Lu Ming let a frustrated sigh and asked, "Do you want sex for the rest of your life?" "I..." Jing Yi didn''t understand what that has to do with his problem, Lu Ming saw that she didn''t understand, but he was in no mood to explain. Instead, he directly bent down, pulled her soft body closer and sealed her beautiful lips with his tempting ones. Just as he touched her lips, suddenly the bell of the room rang. Lu Ming stayed in that position for some time, it was hard to make a decision... It was a struggle to get up but he managed and wrapped the towel around him before crossing the room and opening the door. "..." Jing Yi was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, still not understanding what happened just now. Then she heard the sound of the door closing, and a few seconds later a shopping bag was thrown at her direction. "You can change after I am done" Lu Ming said coldly and went to the bathroom "..." Lu Ming changed into a suit in the bathroom and waited for five minutes before he went out. Jing Yi was standing near the bed with the shopping bag in her hand and biting her lips. Lu Ming walked over to the bed and stopped, "Come here" There was this strange aura around him again, the aura that made him so similar to her Imperial Uncle. She obeyed and walked toward him. Chapter 93 - Uncle Is Angry Again "..." Jing Yi hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly walked toward him looking at his pants. As soon as she came down, Lu Ming pulled her gently and wrapped her in his embrace, one hand gently pulled her hair down while with other he pulled the zipper of her dress. Jing Yi found herself against his chest, and a strange feeling inside as she felt the faint scent of his body. Her face immediately turned red. Lu Ming released her and reminded when she didn''t move for some time, "Go" Jing Yi nodded and walked toward the bathroom before she turned and asked, "We are not staying here tonight?" "I''ve to go office tomorrow"Lu Ming walked toward the table and picked his phone to turn it on. There were a dozen missed calls and a bunch of text messages, almost ll from Jing Xi. He blacklisted his number. When Jing Yi came back she saw that familiar set of number on Lu Ming''s phone and asked, "Is it Jing Xi?" "No" Lu Ming switched back and dialed the driver''s number and asked him about the status of the car that was supposed to have been there by now. When they went downstairs, a car was already waiting for them and they went inside. The journey to home was going to take some time, Lu Ming was focused on his ''apple book'' and acted as if the small incident in the hotel suite didn''t happen. From the other side, Jing Yi glanced at him and then at his legs. She shook her head and took back her gaze. The drizzle of raindrops gradually stopped, above the wet road there was a reflection of the neon lights creating a beautiful and colorful view. After a while, Jing Yi looked at Lu Ming and sighed continuing to look outside the window. She threw often glances at him and sighed again and again helplessly. Lu Ming was too lazy to pay attention to her and didn''t turn. Even the driver noticed how restless and worried Jing Yi looked from the front mirror. This time, Jing Yi couldn''t hold it in and cautiously said what she wanted to say from a long while, "Uncle, one needs to be treated when sick..." "Shut up!" Lu Ming snorted not only to scaring Jing Yi but the driver flinched as well, After hesitating for a while he asked, "Miss Jing, Are you not feeling well?" Jing Yi shook her head, "No, it''s not me it''s--" Before she could finish, Lu Ming pulled Jing Yi toward him and covered her mouth forcefully. In her ear, he whispered: "Don''t you dare to talk such nonsense again, or I will deal with you once and for all!!" "...?" Does he mean he will kill her...? Jing Yi was so afraid that she immediately shook her head, and then nodded again. Lu Ming gave her a warning look before letting go of her. Chapter 94 - Sore All Over Lu Ming gave her warning from his eyes and once he made sure she won''t be talking about that again, he released her. For the rest of the journey, Jing Yi didn''t dare mention his illness again. When they arrived home, Butler Wu was already waiting at the door. Once he helped Lu Ming take off his cloth, he followed Yiren and said, "Miss Jing, your brother Jing Xi has called and said he wants to talk with you" "Okay" Jing Yi responded as she went toward the landline, "I will call him back" Lu Ming changed shoes at the entrance and noticed that Jing Yi was so eager to call Jing Xi that she didn''t even bothered to change shoes. "No" his voice was cold, making Jing Yi froze in her steps, "Go to sleep" Jing Yi was inches away from the telephone and didn''t understand what made Lu Ming angry now, Subconsciously she turned back and asked, "Why?" "No reason! Go to bed or I will take care of you right now!" "..." Jing Yi licked her lips, glanced at the metal phone next to the sofa, and reluctantly turned around to go upstairs. Back in the room, Jing Yi took a shower and didn''t hurry to sleep, instead she watched a comedy film on the TV. She thought Lu Ming would sleep in the same bed as hers since they shared bed earlier this evening, but she was so tired that she fell asleep soon. Next Morning ~ When Jing Yi woke up, her whole body was sore and every muscle ached. She realized she had strained some muscles as well. The dance last evening turned out to be not fit for her now delicate body. It hurt when she went downstairs. Lu Ming has already gone to the company. She sat and ate a bowl of soup and porridge alone on the big table. After a few mouthfuls, Jing Yi heard the sound of doorbell. After a while, Butler Wu came and strode across the room. "Miss Jing, Mr. Jing Xi is here to see you" Jing Yi looked back and glanced at the handsome blonde man. She took back her eyes and continued to her porridge. "What are you doing here so early?" Jing Yi was confused by this unexpected visit, "..." but Jing Xi was angry, after last night how can Jing Yi ask him something like that? With quick large strides, he went to the dining table, pulled a chair, sat down and asked, "Why didn''t you came to my concert yesterday?" "Oh, I went to the family house yesterday" Jing Yi answered, "..." Jing Xi looked at her with a strange look: "Which one?" Jing Yi''s family house cum farm was in the countryside, and there was no way Lu Ming could have really taken her to the Lu Family house...right? Jing Yi didn''t bother to answer him. And suddenly she recalled how flexibly he had often danced in TV. With a subconscious excited look, she asked him, "Jing Xi, do you know some exercises for muscle strain?" it will hurt in the condition she was in, but she has to pull this body in proper shape! "You strained your muscles?" Jing Xi looked at her with a confused face, "Yes" Jing Yi nodded, "Ah, I know that!" For an artist like him who has to perform severe dance performances, knowing how to cure something like muscle strain was the basics. Hearing that, Jing Yi abandoned her half-eaten bowl of porridge and pulled Jing Xi forcibly toward her room. Chapter 95 - It Hurts First Time Lu Ming hadn''t got any sleep last night as he was unable to take his mind off from that hotel room incident. And hence, he couldn''t focus properly on the office work. He had realized long ago that Jing Yi has suddenly forgotten about a lot of basic things, but how could she forget about ''that''? Has she become a complete child in her mind? But even a three-year-child knows the basic difference between man and woman nowadays! How is it even possible...? But he knew she wasn''t pretending... He recalled her words. "Hand-chop. Cut.and Slit!" Calling his manhood a tumor, if she were to be a doctor she would have made all men eunuch. Lu Ming rubbed his head in frustration. The former Jing Yi was debauchery, cheesy, and devoid of virtue. The current Jing Yi was graceful, lovely and generous. Then why didn''t she knew something as basic as this? She was almost like a primitive person in this matter! Lu Ming didn''t sleep well overnight, got up early and ate early, and when he heard the sound of Jing Yi''s bedroom door, he immediately got up and left for the company. Because he was worried she could bring back the matter of his ''illness'' again. Lu Ming was subconsciously staring at his smartphone when he remembered he had left an important file at home. He picked his phone and dialed the number of the landline at home, after a few rings, Butler Lu answered the call, "I left a file in the study, it is on the table. Tell the driver to bring it" "Okay, Master Lu" Butler Lu replied and waited for Lu Ming to hang up, But Lu Ming was silent for a few seconds and asked, "What is she doing?" "Oh, Miss Jing is with Mr. Jing Xi in her room" When he heard the word ''Jing Xi'' Lu Ming''s fingers tightened around the phone, "What are they doing in the room?" "I-I am not sure, Master Lu" Butler Lu could have sneaked a glance or something to check up on them, but that was against his morals, "How long it has been?" "It''s been almost an hour" "No need to send documents!" Lu Ming''s reply was very fast, he disconnected the call and quickly stood up as he grabbed his coat from the back of the chair and strode outside the office, For some reason, Li Wei was standing close to the office door for some time with a coffee in her hand, when Lu Ming rushed outside the door was opened forcibly and she was almost knocked over. "Lu..." Li Wei has no time to ask him, he was soon disappeared behind the elevator doors. Lu Ming returned home, Butler Wu was already waiting at the door. Lu Ming handed the coat to Butler Wu and walked inside the house. At the same time, he asked: "They haven''t come out yet?" Butler Wu shook his head: "No" Lu Ming didn''t bother changing shoes and went upstairs, his feet rapping over the stairs. When he reached on the second floor and was outside Jing Yi''s room, he paused. He could hear voices from the inside, Jing Yiren: "Can you really do this?" Jing Xi: "Reassured! I have more experience than you!" Jing Yiren: "Then why is it hurting more?" Jing Xi: "Just relax your legs, open a little, open them a little more!" Jing Yiren: "Ah! you are not gentle, so it hurts!" Jing Xi: "It''s your first, of course, it will hurt...!" Lu Ming: "..." Standing in the doorway, his eyes have turned darker than coal and colder than the Antarctic itself. He could stand it no more. With a ruthless, fierce kick he slammed the door open. Chapter 96 - In A Compromising Situation The sudden loud bang of the door made both Jing Yi and Jing Xi flinch and almost frightened. Lu Ming was rooted near the door, and his eyes were not sure about what to look in the room. His eyes were coldly watching Jing Yi and Jing Xi. Jing Yi was wearing a slightly tight sportswear today, while her long hair were tied in a ponytail. Her spine was straight against the wall, her one leg was folded while the other one was resting over Jing Xi''s shoulder, her cute little toes curled together from pain. When Lu Ming made his loud temperance, it caused Jing Yi''s heart to almost tremble. She subconsciously put her leg down. "Uncle, you are home early today?" "..." on the other side, Jing Xi blinked in confusion when he heard Jing Yi calling Lu Ming her ''Uncle''. Was it even normal? Why is not Lu Ming reacting to this? "What are you doing?" he still radiated a freezing aura, "Nothing!" Jing Yi replied quickly, Jing Xi was afraid that Lu Ming had misunderstood the situation and explained, "I was teaching Yiren, how to cure muscle strain!" Lu Ming''s cold eyes glared at Jing Xi, he wasn''t worthy of teaching anything to Jing Yi! How dare he? He turned his gaze toward Jing Yi, she unconsciously licked her lips as the silent treatment continued for a while. "Join a dance class" "..." Jing Yiren and Jing Xi were a little confused, Lu Ming took the documents from his study and left. After a while, Butler Wu came over and said respectfully to Jing Xi, "Mr. Jing Xi, master has asked you to not stay for the lunch" "..." Jing Xi''s blood was almost raging from anger, He was the nation''s beloved idol! People fantasize and beg him for dining with them, heck, there were even some fans who went to extreme lengths only to have a glimpse of him! But this... "How come your phone is switched off for so many days?" he tried to distract himself, "Oh...I guess I lost it" Jing Yi replied with a blank face, "I will let you send you one--" "No need for that, Mr. Jing Xi. A new mobile phone has already been arranged by our Master. However, her number couldn''t be disclosed to others" Butler Wu coldy cut off Jing Xi''s words, Jing Xi was at his limit now, couldn''t be disclosed to others? How is he included in ''others''? He turned toward Yiren, she didn''t responded, he stood up and left the house in fury. When Jingxi left, Butler Wu brought a box to Jing Yi. "Miss Jing, The number of Master is already saved" Jing Yi opened the box and found a white smartphone lying inside. She rose her eyebrows slightly, it was a little different from what Jing Xi had brought her, the model was sleek and fancy. Butler Wu taught her how to switch on the phone and then showed her how to send text messages, when she had a little trouble typing he showed her that she can also use a pen and write on the screen. In order to test this new thing she learned, Jing Yi sent a message to Lu Ming. [Uncle, have you eaten yet?] Lu Ming was walking across the company''s corridor, the passing employees bowed and greeted him but he paid them no attention and continued to walk coldly. Even though, Jing Yi and Jing Xi were only exercising, he was affected by that scene. He stepped inside the elevator, when a small buzz informed him of an incoming message. Chapter 97 - Lu Ming VS Jing Xi When Lu Ming stepped inside the elevator, the employee who was about to press the button froze, bowed and waited for his superior out of respect(and fear). Lu Ming''s phone buzzed and pulled his phone out. It was a message from ''sweetheart''. A slight warm slight curled over his lips. Previously, he had saved Jing Yi''s new number by her name. But on that same day, their car was stuck in a traffic jam outside a cake shop. He saw a little girl holding a middle-aged man and pointing at a heart-shaped cake inside the shop, "Uncle, I want to eat that sweetheart cake!" "Alright, I will get it for you then!" the man lifted the child in his arms and the two went inside, It wasn''t much after Lu Ming has saved Jing Yi''s number, he glanced back at his phone screen and changed her name to ''sweetheart''. Why? Because... Jing Yi was indeed a sweetheart, although she often does a lot of strange things, she is always full of positive energy every day. The employee looked secretly at the text message Lu Ming had received and raised an eyebrow. [Uncle, have you eaten yet?] How come a message sent by a prostitute made their chairman this happy? This piece of information was worth spicy gossips! Who would have thought this cold and anti-social boss was having an affair.. Lu Ming''s fingers quickly tapped on the screen and he sent a reply. [No]~~~ It hasn''t been long since Jing Yi sent the message, within seconds she received a short cold looking reply. [No] She wasn''t satisfied with the one-word reply and pouted as she turned toward Butler Wu, "Does he usually speak like this?" It was so boring! "Master Lu has always been talking like this" Butler Wu explained flatly, Jing Yi knew she would be bored with this phone like this, and hence asked Butler Wu to download the game Jing Xi has endorsed. Once she had her lunch, Jing Yi climbed inside the bad and started the game. As soon as the game started, she saw that she has received an equipment from Jing Xi, it was a nice purple dress. The clothe were radiant and really cool. ~~~~ Lu Ming had lunch just now when he received a call from Butler saying that Jing Yi was bored and is now playing the game Jing Xi has endorsed. He paused for a second before downloading the same game registering for an account to log in. His in-game name was Lu Ming. As soon as the game started, his avatar was standing in square hall. He saw Jing Xi in a dashing golden armor and Yiren standing near him in a beautiful purple dress. Most of the people around them were slashing and killing each other, but no one dared to move closer to these two. Lu Ming, who never plays games, roughly taps the screen and buys the most expensive equipment from the store. Then he increases his armor strength and lives. With all that being done, he walks toward Jing Xi and awards him two strikes of two knives. Jing Xi immediately lost half of his life. Jing Xi was stunned and before he could even react, he was already lying on the ground. [Lu Ming killed Jing Xi!] Jing Xi sent a crying emoji on the public-chatbox and asked, [Who are you?] At the same time, the server blasted with millions of messages due to the mysterious man who killed Jing Xi. Chapter 98 - Playing Games During Meeting [What?! The guy with the black gold equipment killed Jing Xi?] [Nice move you did there!] [Idol! Please accept my request!] [Idol! I want to have a sparring match with you!] Lu Ming was too lazy to pay attention to them, instead, he walked toward Jing Yi. After recovering from her momentarily surprise, she slowly typed a message to him, ["Who are you?"] Jing Yi was not sure if this Lu Ming and her uncle were the same people. Since, she had seen a lot of Jing Xi in this game as well, mostly with weird names like, Jing_Xi_My_Love, Jing_Xi_the_cool_guy, Jing Xi 007 and a lot more. Lu Ming didn''t replied. After a while, Jing Xi was resurrected, Lu Ming ran over him and slashed his big black sword at him. In three seconds after his resurrection, Jing Xi fell on the ground. Jing Xi was so furious after this that he was literally swearing. [Just you wait!!] Jing Xi called all the people of his team and charged toward Lu Ming. Jing Xi was not only the endorser of this game but he was also one of the most powerful players! How can he let this Lu Ming defeat him? Lu Ming only took some seconds before all of them were lying dead on the ground. Jing Xi''s fingers trembled with rage and he immediately called the sponsor of the game, "Give me the latest and the best equipment! I am the spokesperson for this game, why have you given me this kind of rubbish?! I was killed by a damned a knife!!" "We are sorry, Jing Xi! If you want new equipment it will take one more day at the least." Jing Xi was so angry he wanted to vomit blood, he asked Lu Ming to stop but the other guy was enjoying too much in this bullying! Not only Lu Ming, even some of the other players were coming and killing him as if it was some sort of ceremony! But that wasn''t the most annoying thing, once Jing Xi has a last bit of his life remaining, the Jing Yi who was silently watching all this stabbed him and took his life. Jing Xi was so furious that he only sent a short message, [?]Jing Yi replied after some time: [In any case, you are dying. Everyone is killing you, so I thought I should do the honors as well!] "..." Jing Xi was completely speechless, he has never been insulted like this by anyone. And now when everyone was insulting him, Jing Yi joined as well? Lu Ming played the game for a long time in the afternoon, until the secretary came in to remind him that there was a meeting at three o'' clock, Lu Ming gently put his phone in his pocket and the two went to the conference room. In the conference room, Lu Ming was sitting lazily in the head chair, listening to the latest plan of the company. But his mind was elsewhere, he had played the game earlier only to vent his anger. But after he recalled how Jing Yi looked in that dress, he decided he needed to send her an even more dress. Before he could even finish the thought, Lu Ming has already entered inside the game. As soon as he entered the game, he saw that the Jing Yi was wounded and half of her life was gone. She screamed at the man who cut her, Jing Yi:[You are looking for death!! How dare you cut the princess? Your time in this world is over now!!] Jing Xi:[With me here, how dare you lay a hand on her?] Lu Ming''s eyes turned deeper and deeper. Going forward, he dealt with the bastard who had tried to kill Jing Yi and then Lu Ming dealt with Jing Xi. Everyone was talking about the Lu Ming who has so mercilessly and easily killed Jing Xi. Some became fan of him, while some said that this Lu Ming is arrogant. Lu Ming was immersed in the game until the assistant next to him reminded, "Chairman Lu, the presentation is finished" Chapter 99 - Princess Goes To The Mall Seeing that Lu Ming''s attention was no there, the assistant next to Lu Ming reminded, "Chairman Lu, the presentation is over" It was then Lu Ming remembered he was still in the conference room, he unhurriedly put the phone away and opened the file in front of him as he flipped the pages and barely glanced at them. "Re-examine it again and then hand it over" Lu Ming said coldly, "Next!" The next senior employee stands up and continues, Lu Ming takes his phone and resumes the game. He gifts Jing Yi a new dress and a new set of upgraded equipment. Now that Jing Yi was dressed in a way better armor dress and was carrying pretty dangerous weapons, whoever had bullied her a while ago was scared. They instantly backed off and started calling her sister. ~~~~ At 3:30 in the afternoon, Butler Wu gave a VIP diamond card to Jing Yi. Lu Ming had left it and gave clear instructions to Butler Wu before leaving. "Tell her to exercise during in the afternoon and cure her muscle strains as well as practice for the flexibility she desires" "Prepare the driver for her" "Tell the maid who often takes care of her, to go with her" Before leaving, Butler Wu repeatedly reminded Jing Yi to take her mobile phone and remember to call if some problem arises. He also secretly told the maid to keep an eye on Jing Yi and don''t let anything like last time happen again. When he thought back to the car accident and that disastrous make over of the swimming pool, Butler Wu could still feel cold sweat over him. Master Lu had said, this way he also wants to exercise the independence of Miss Jing. But that didn''t put Butler Wu at ease! If Jing Yi were to make some another headline or something and that causes his master to come with a stormy look, Butler Wu knew he couldn''t handle it. In the car, ~ Jing Yi and the maid were sitting on the backseat as the driver drove the car. He realized soon enough that Jing Yi was a nice person with a gentle heart, not only had she risked her life last time for the sake of justice, she also treated the servants equally and was not difficult to get along with. Whenever Jing Yi saw something on the road that she hasn''t seen before, she will ask about it and the driver and the maid will explain enthusiastically in detail. The maid said as she pointed to the mall in front: "Miss Jing, that is where we are going. You see a row of treadmills behind the glass window on the 5th floor, the machine where some people running? That''s the gym we will be going, you can also learn a variety of dance forms in there!" Jing Yi had noticed how the domestic servants, including Butler Wu, has started becoming more respectful towards her, and stopped making strange faces at her and gossiping behind her back. Could it be because similar to Li Wei, they are thinking she is a fool too? "Why are you explaining in so much detail? Do you also think I am a fool?" "..." The maid then realized she really was explaining too much, but that wasn''t because she thought Jing Yi as some fool! She immediately shook her head and explained quickly, "That''s not it, Miss.. Jing! Master has said last night that because of the suicide accident you have forgotten a lot of things. That''s not being a fool! If anyone dares say so or laughs behind they are in ignorance and a fool themselves!" Chapter 100 - 100 The maid hurriedly clarified herself and didn''t forget to flatter, "I never thought such a fowl thing for Miss Jing! You are a hero who seeks justice and smarter than anyone else!" Jing Yi gave her a cold look. Who was the one making strange expressions at her when they first met? But when she found out that Lu Ming hadn''t said she was stupid and has said Jing Yi had only forgotten a few things, it made her heart warm. She thought about the Lu Ming from the game, he has gifted her a set of beautiful armor dress, thought it looked a little embarassing. Now no one tried to mess with her since then. The driver stopped the car, and the maid and Jing Yi stepped out to get inside the mall. It was almost four in the noon, and there were a lot of people coming in and out of the building. First, they went to a shop was the maid helped Jing Yi chose new sportswear. Once changed, they went to the fifth floor. As she stepped out of the elevator, she looked around the mall with an amazed look. She had come here twice before, once when Jing Yi bought her a phone and the other time when Lu Ming had brought her to choose the gift for his mother. Everything was electrical and magical, there were stairs that moved on their own and a lot of gleaming colorful lights. She was fascinated but didn''t like the gym. Why would people pay for running on a small space like that when you can freely run in the open fresh air? It was such a corrupted shop! Soon after they came out from the elevator, the receptionist came in front of them and asked with a pleasant smile, "Ms. Do you want to be a member?" "..." Jing Yi didn''t know what it meant looked at the receptionist with a blank look, "..." the receptionist wondered if she had offended her was a little nervous by looking at Jing Yi, she cleared her throat and spoke in that pleasing manner, "Ah, you must already be a member! Can I please see your card?" The maid softly nudged Jing Yi and pointed at the small handbag she was carrying. Jing Yi only knew that Butler Wu has placed the card inside of it, she took out the card and handed it over to the receptionist. The receptionist suppressed the urge to face-palm and said, "Sorry Miss, but this is the bank card..." "..." what is a bank card? Jing Yi only remembered the one card Butler Wu has shown her. She opened her bag and found a black card, Jing Yi exchanged it for the bank card and closed her bag. She just concluded this world was too strange. Why even carry two cards? Isn''t it too bothersome? The receptionist looked at the card that Jingyi people had changed, and the eyes went wide. It was the limited super VIP diamond card! No wonder the lady has such an air around her! She bowed respectfully and returned the card, "So, what would you like to do today, Miss? Sauna? Gym? or Message?" Chapter 101 - Strip Him Naked "What would you like to do today? Do you need a private coach? A sauna or massage therapy?"Jing Yi looked as if she understood everything and replied indifferently, "Let me have a look first" "Yes" The receptionist took Jing Yi around the different areas and explained each one. When they passed a transparent glass which separated a room, Jing Yi paused. It was a spacious bright classroom, a group of girls were standing in front of a long black horizontal rod. They were stretching their legs over the rod, it seemed like some sort of exercise to increase flexibility... "Let''s do this" Jing Yi said without moving her eyes,Upon hearing this, the receptionist replied with a slight knot of her eyebrow, "But Ms. Jing, this is a public area. There is no way to avoid people here..." "..." But Jing Yi was only going to do some exercises, why would she need to sneak around?With so many people she won''t be bored anyway, so why not? "Didn''t you heard me?" she frowned and glanced at the receptionist, then turned toward the maid, "You want to come?"The maid shook her head and pointed at the row of chairs, and replied with a smile. "I will be waiting here" The receptionist didn''t dare talk as she took Jing Yi to the locker room and handed a new set of dance clothes and shoes to Jing Yi. Jing Yi liked the dress, it was tight and too revealing, a pink dance skirt was over fitting-leggings, with a white top and pink ballet shoes that completed the look. The receptionist helped Jing Yi tie her long hair in a bun so that they can''t bother during the dance practice. With her cute look and bright eyes, she looked beautiful and spirited. The receptionist couldn''t help but say, "Miss! You are so beautiful!" Jing Yi didn''t agree but smiled politely, she was used to hearing this. "Is there a washroom?" she asked, "Yes, I will take you there" It was the first time, Jing Yi has gone to a public washroom. She saw that there was a row of doors on one side the mirrors and sink lined on the other side. She went inside and slowly pushed one of the doors. Once inside the door closed itself automatically. She sat down and started her business. A pair of heels could be seen passing, followed by a subtle sound of tap water. "Look at this, I sneaked this shot today!" a woman smugly said, "Wow" came the reply from another woman, "He''s so handsome! So this is why you pulled me here!" "Just look at his perfect figure! I really want to strip him naked and sleep with him!" "..." Jing Yi wasn''t sure if she heard it right. ''Strip him naked and sleep with him''? This world was really strange, these women were so strange and greedy for that man. It was as if they were some flower thief...'' Uncle'' had acted similar way last time as well, he bullied her. Jing Yi can bully him using the same method.... Jing Yi''s face turned red, this move would be too bold and indecent for a princess! "But it''s a pity....all the men like Lu Ming who make you want to spread your legs in front of them are..." Jing Yi: "..." Chapter 102 - Splash, Splash "..." Lu Ming? Handsome enough to spread your legs? When she heard the words ''Lu Ming'', Jing Yi was momentarily stunned. She never knew her uncle was this well known, and there are woman who talks such words for him!It was like a switch has been flicked. She never had wanted to sleep with Lu Ming, but even then as his wife it was only her right to think about that! And do that! Jing Yi flushed the toilet and strode outside.A freezing cold glare was in her eyes.The two women outside were wearing tight clothes, one red and one blue. Their top only completed the formality of covering their breasts and revealed more than necessary.One had a ponytail, while the other woman has short hair. "What a pity?" The woman with short hair in red asked with a puzzled look and glanced at the Jing Yi who came out of the bathroom through the mirror. Her beauty was almost a refreshing sight, but the coldness in her eyes was uncomfortable and hence the woman in red took back her gaze. The woman in blue smeared lipstick over her lips and had paused amidst the sentence to complete her job properly. She checked herself twice before continuing, "It''s a pity that Lu Ming is married! And I heard that his wife has a bad reputation and is completely ill natures. Lu Ming doesn''t like her at all. There are even talks of a divorse"Jing Yo silently walked toward the sink.The woman in blue rubbed her lips together and pouted as she took out a mascara from her bag. "I heard that his wife is also a country bumpkin, and a complete nuisance" The woman said as she was leaning forward and carefully started applying her mascara. She noticed Jing Yi, but immediately took back her sight. She hated woman who were beautiful than her! Jing Yi stood on the far end of the row of sinks, placed her little wallet on the side and noticed there was no ''switch'' to open the faucet. Where was the water supposed to be discharged from? While she was trying to understand this new faucet, one of the woman started talking again, "To marry such a woman, How can Lu Ming be so tasteless?" The short haired woman brought her hands under the faucet and the water automatically came out, she began washing her hands and upon seeing this Jing Yi was a little surprised.She stretched her hand below the faucet and the water magically poured down, gasping in surprise she took her hand back. This world was truly magical! She brought her hands back and forth under the tap, the water streamed down and stopped on its own. It also caused the two woman to look at Jing Yi. The took back their sight with arrogant smirk and a disgusted look, "Geez! Now this place is contaminated by that country calf....Ahh!!!" "Ahhh---!!" The two woman were scared and screamed at the same time, a jet of water had suddenly been splashed on their faces. Quickly they stepped back, almost stumbling on their high heels. Especially the woman who had just applied the mascara, water has ruined her makeup and now a line of black was slowly streaming down her face making her face look horrible. Looking at her reflection, the woman clutched her hands tightly and looked at Jing Yi with a bitter cruel smile. "You bi**h! Don''t you have a f***ing tab in your hometown?!!" Chapter 103 - Black Kitty It was a mistake to provoke her further, Jing Yi ruthlessly splashed another wave of water over them. They made fun of her marriage, and she did was silent, but how can she let these women go just like that after they said such insulting words to her? she has never been so humiliated, a princess can not forgive such crime! It was only fair to teach a lesson to those who bullied her! "This is only a small warning. If the princess hears you speaking such words again, I will make sure you can never speak!" Jing Yi walked forward and took the phone from the stunned woman, and looked at the screen. There was a photo of Lu Ming in a suit who was walking inside a building. Her eyes turned a little cold. How dare they sneak a photo of him! Without a second thought, she slammed the phone angrily on the ground. "Heck...!" the woman painfully looked at her broken phone, her expressions turned darker and furious. She pointed a well-manicured nail at Jing Yi, "How dare you smash my phone, bit**!!" Jing Yi was already at her limit, she grabbed the woman''s wrist and with a swift move, she twisted her hand painfully behind her back before awarding the woman with a powerful fierce punch. A big black bruise was quick to appear around the woman''s eyes, she brought a trembling hand to her bruise and screamed loudly. The other woman was shocked, but it was a matter of their ''pride'' now, she immediately charged toward Jing Yi. Jing Yi smacked her knee against the woman''s stomach and gave her a hard blow with her elbow. The woman painfully fell on her knees and shrunk her body. The two women have never thought that this Jing Yi who looked small than them could have such speed and strength. Forget teaching her a lesson, the two can''t even defend themselves! Jing Yi''s cold eyes glared at them."Not only you insulted the princess, but you are also shameless and characterless women who dream of sleeping with other people''s husbands!" Jing Yi noticed the black mascara lying on the floor. An evil smirk came over her beautiful face as she bent and picked it. The woman''s makeup was already ruined, so Jing Yi decided she will make it even more ''beautiful''. She walked toward the two women, who flinched. Jing Yi pressed one of the women on the ground and began her artwork, as the other party continued to thrash and rebel. The brush danced across the face and once she was completed, Jing Yi stood up and admired her work, "You look like a calico cat!" Jing Yi clapped, threw away the mascara and turned her back as she strode away, "D-don''t you dare run, b-bitch!!" with gritted teeth a woman cried, "I will be here" Jing Yi''s disdainful voice disappeared outside the door, The receptionist has been waiting for Jing Yi outside the door for so long that a part of her was worried, she asked when Jing Yi came out, "Did something happen?" "Nothing much, I encountered two scoundrels that''s all" The receptionist recalled the two high-class girls that just entered the bathroom and sweatdropped. Please don''t make a scene at our club! Chapter 104 - Too Close For Comfort The dance room~ When she entered, all eyes were directed at Jing Yi. She was like a lamp whose beauty eclipsed all other beautiful women. No one could help but look at her for longer than necessary. Even the dance coach, who was a guy, was starring dumbly at her. It was not until the receptionist called him and he came back to reality. "Coach...! She is a new student, please take care of her" she also wanted to inform the coach that Jing Yi is a diamond VIP member but couldn''t, since she was afraid that Jing Yi wouldn''t like that. The receptionist left and the coach casually walked toward Jing Yi, He was tall and straight, with fair skin and a well-defined body which was proof of his time spent at the gym. Courteously he said, "Welcome Miss, as you may know, a flexible body is a must to learn dance and hence, your first lesson would be to stretch your muscles" That was exactly what Jing Yi wanted to learn, she nodded in understanding. The coach smiled at her and took her wrist, gently pulling her toward the large mirror wall where people practiced in front of a black rod. Jing Yi had never been in much contact with those of the opposite sex, she furrowed her brows and instinctively took back her hand. The coach looked confused and sighed. Jing Yi only smiled at him and he led her forward. Once in front of the rod, she lifted her leg and stretched it over it. It was not difficult, but what made it a little uncomfortable was that the coach was standing next to her and wouldn''t leave. She could also feel the gazes of others staring at her. "What is your name?" "..." she will never tell her name to some stranger, but wasn''t a coach equal to the teacher? As the saying goes, you must always respect your teacher, a teacher is like a father who teaches you important things. But it was also true that this coach emitted weird vibes."My name is Jing Yi" she still politely replied without taking her attention away from the exercise, "Is it your first time here?" the coach''s tone was extremely gentle, Jing Yi was feeling very weird vibes from him now and gave a subtle nod."Do you live or work nearby?" She shook her head, "no" "Ah, then it must be our famous name that attracted you here" Jing Yi glanced at him, as she felt his uncomfortable gaze on her buttocks. Her eyes turned colder and darker. He looked at Jing Yi for a while and suddenly approached, "You are not doing this right"One hand held Jing Yi''s leg, while the other stroked her thighs with a little force as if to straighten the leg. "..." Jing Yi was stunned when she felt a palm over her butt, the hand was to tight for comfort, her eyes narrowed and she was very uneasy. She remembered when she used to practice martial arts in her past life, she was accidentally touched over sensitive places by her Huangfu. But she didn''t complain and was too embarrassed to do so. However, if any other men have even dared to touch her, she has taken well care of them with her martial art skills. But right now, she noticed how no one was affected by this coach openly touching her like that. Was it a culture here? Then Jing Yi refused to adapt to it! "Here you press it like this...." Chapter 105 - A Friendly Meal "Here, you press it like this..." Jing Yiren couldn''t stand it anymore and pushed the coach away with a harsh force and turned to look at him, "I will be practicing on my own if there''s something I don''t understand I will ask" "O-okay" The coach didn''t think it was a smile on her lips, When he left she could hear the other people around her whispering, "Such a vixen! The coach was so gentle, and she acted that way! Who does she think she is? Is she drunk or something?" "Hey, don''t be jealous!" "It''s only because she''s young and pretty!" "..." Jing Yi was now sure that the women in this world were pretty crazy, the two women from earlier wanted to sleep with a married man and now when she was touched like that by a man they think that Jing Yi was drunk? Just as Jing Yi couldn''t help but worry about this strange world, a girl suddenly came beside her and whispered, "Don''t worry about them! They are simply crazy after the coach, they have a lots of loose screw in their brains!" Jing Yi turned and looked at the girl, "The coach thinks he is too handsome and kind, and since you are so beautiful he thought he can honey trap you into a one night stand" "..." Jing Yi didn''t understand some of the words, The girl explained, "You see there are girls who only came here for the coach, they try to bubble him, they throw money over him and flirt with him for a chance to be able to sleep with him. The coach is well aware of it and hence thinks highly of himself and believes he can get any woman he wants" "..." Jing Yi had learned a lot of new words today! After the stretching exercise for fifteen minutes, the coach clapped his hands to gather everyone''s attention. It was time to practice some dance moves. He asked Jing Yi to stand in the middle, since she was a new student. A few times her moves were incorrect, the coach gave some pointers but did not touched her again. When there was some need for adjustments that required him to touch her, he first asked for her permission. But when he did, his fingers would linger for longer, his breath would be too close and Jing Yi couldn''t feel any ease. Was it really a custom here? To be so physically close? Jing Yi somehow survived the one hour of practice. After the class was finished, Jing Yi met the nice girl from earlier. Her name was Luo Mei, and she asked if Jing Yi would like to have lunch with her. Before leaving some students happily said goodbye to their beloved coach, Jing Yi was too lazy to bother with that. While she was near the door with Luo Mei, the coach came toward her and asked, "Are you two going to eat lunch?" "..." "How about I treat you?" he asked, "Okay!" Luo Mei quickly replied, although she didn''t like this coach, she really enjoyed the jealous looks thrown at them when he asked to treat. Jing Yi returned to her private dressing room to change clothes. This room was earlier used by Lu Ming, and she could see a lot of men''s sports wear in the closet. Her sportswear was then handed to a helper waiting outside and was taken for washing. The maid and Jing Yi went to the main exit where the coach and Luo Mei were waiting for them. "There''s a nice restaurant in this mall, let''s try it!" The coach volunteered,Jing Yi had made a first friend in this world and it was Luo Mei, hence she agreed even though she hated being anywhere near the coach. The four of them sat near a window-side table in the restaurant. Chapter 106 - Princess Is Drinking A waiter approached them and handed a menu, soon after the coach passed it to Jing Yi with smile, "Order whatever you want" "..." Jing Yi took the menu and looked at it, followed by a small knot between her eyebrows, It was written in some western language, she didn''t know. She was too lazy to try to understand and circled her finger on the top of the first page, "All of them" she said to the waiter, The face of the coach changed significantly. His expressions were now complete opposite. Luo Mei, who was sitting next to the coach, was also surprised. "Yiren, why do you want so much wine?" she reminded her, "And the wine here is very expensive!" Jing Yi didn''t knew what she has ordered was actually wine! But she was a princess, how can she lose face in front of anyone? She kept a straight face, she looked at the coach and asked, "You don''t drink alcohol?" "..." The coach looked a little embarrassed: "I-I do... but I can''t drink so much at once..." with a smile, he added "But it''s fine! I will follow you!" Luo Mei now understood that how persistent this coach was after Jing Yi, not only was he letting himself drunk with all those wines but he was also willing to pay the thousands and thousands of money the wines were worth. The maid gently tugged Jing Yi''s sleeves from under the table and ordered two dishes from the second page of the menu. One for her and other for herself. They returned the menu to the coach and Luo Mei, both of them ordered steak.When the four people waited for their order to arrive, the coach and the Luo Mei finally realized they hadn''t been introduced to the girl who was with Jing Yi, "Who is she?" Luo Mei subconsciously asked, "..." "Cousin! I am her distant cousin!" The maid did not waited for Jing Yi to reply and immediately spoke, Butler Wu has told her, that id Miss Jing makes some friends outside, she will not say that she is her maid or it could become hard for Miss Jing to make friends. Jing Yi looked at the maid but didn''t corrected her. She was still confused when her phone rang, "Where are you?" three plain words sounded from Lu Ming after she picked up the phone, people turned their eyes and did not explain much by the maid!Jing Yi glanced at the maid, "Where are we?" "The Western Restaurant on the third floor" Jing Yi repeated the maid''s words. The phone was disconnected soon after. "..." Jing Yi looked at the black screen for some seconds, why the uncle is always this cold? and then she put it back in her wallet. The wines and their order arrived, the waiter placed the dishes on the table and respectfully asked Jing Yi, "Would you like to open the wine?" "..." Three pairs of eyes turned toward Jing Yi, "Open them all" Jing Yi replied indifferently, The other three were stunned, there were only four people and a total of ten bottles in total, Luo Mei was not going to drink and doubted if Jing Yi can even drink them all. Even if the coach joins in, she had never seen two people being able to drink so much!The maid on the side was both worried and embarrassed for Jing Yi. The last time, Jing Yi and Lu Ming had steak together. He has taught her the proper elegant way of eating steak and has also told her that the wine is to be slowly tasted. But she was not going to be looked down upon, she can''t tell them that she unknowingly ordered the wine and doesn''t know how to read western language. Chapter 107 - For Revenge She knew she can''t handle it, but she will have to play a perfect game of pretending here. The waiter on the side obeyed and poured the red wine inside everyone''s glasses, Jing Yi didn''t blink and gulped the whole glass in one go. "..." The waiter hasn''t even finished filling the other glasses and was in a momentary daze, Jing Yi didn''t stop and was disappearing her wine within seconds. This taste was sour and sweet, and the wine felt good. Jing Yi filled her glass by herself, soon almost half of the bottle was empty. The maid and Luo Meimei were sure that Jing Yi could drink. It was true though, when Jing Yi and the emperor used to go on the battlefield, they along with the soldiers would drink for the victory and to handle the wine was such a small thing for her. However, she wasn''t sure if this new body can handle it, was the previous Jing Yi used to it as well? While Jing Yi was drinking, two women came in from the restaurant doors. One of the women has a bruise over her left eye and the two of them were followed by two men. The receptionist was about to receive them, but the woman fiercely pushed the receptionist away and walked straight toward the direction where Jing Yi was seated. Jing Yi paused as she recognized them. The woman with black eyes came toward her and complained to the man behind her aggressively, "Chen Nang! She is that woman!! Today, she hit us in the bathroom for no reason, and also smashed my new iPhone 7S!!" Another woman squinted at Jing Yi with her hands on her hips: "Did you though we can''t find you? Bitch, you won''t even recognize yourself after we are done with you!" "..." Hearing, the maid on the side was scared and trembled. She had no idea what was happening and what should be done now! Luo Mei was also scared and pale. The surrounding customers knew something bad was about to happen, and immediately left the place. The waiter had no idea what to do and dumbly stared at the scene. The coach sitting opposite to Jing Yi recognized the two women as senior employees of the nearby Lu Corporation. These two often came to the club to have one glace of their president who was a diamond VIP member. Most of the employees from Lu Corporation have joined their club solely to have some glimpse of Lu Ming. And he knew that these two women have some relative who works in the club, as soon as Lu Ming would come they would be notified immediately. These two women were from high-class background and every employee recognized them, The coach stood up as he slammed his hands on the table, "If you don''t leave right now, I will call the police!" "Well then, go ahead!" the woman said, pointing at her injured eye: "We will see who gets arrested in the end!!" Jing Yi was calmly sitting, "The princess thought it would be someone else. Turned out it''s only the women who were lusting over someone else''s husband" Jing Yi''s words made the woman so angry that she raised her hand to hit her, but her hand was stopped midair. Chapter 108 - Princess Is Fighting The woman stopped her hand mid-air with clenched teeth and stepped back, she turned toward the two men, "Chen Nang, this woman knows self-defense, be careful!" The two men, one fat and one thin nodded and squeezed themselves in front of the table. The fat man named, Chen Nang picked up the half filled wine bottle in front of Jing Yi and drank the remaining wine. He slammed the bottle against the table, creating a loud smashing sound, making both Luo Mei and the maid flinch. "Little girl, I see you are young and beautiful, it would be a pity to ruin your pretty face. Do you want this matter to be public or private? You choose" The woman sitting next to Jing Yi tightly pulled her sleeves, "Private! Miss Jing! Private!" Lu Ming has no shortage of money, but if something happens to Jing Yi, iy would create a lot more trouble! Jing Yi didn''t look at Chen Nang and instead kept her sight at the steak, "What is private? What is public?" Chen Nan''s fat fingers squatted on the table in front of Jing Yi, and his voice turned darker as he spoke, "Private means that you will compensate us with money. In public, the cops will deal with it, then you will have to compensate and spend half a month in prison! You are young, you don''t want to go jail now, do you?" Jing Yi slowly lifted her cold eyes up and looked at Chen Nang, her face carried a blush of red from drinking and looked charming and beautiful making the other guy lose himself for some seconds. "What if I refuse both of them?" "Then I will make you pay right now!" Chen Nang grabbed Jing Yi''s collar and lifted her up fiercely,Jing Yi didn''t blink as she quickly picked a wine bottle and smashed it against Chen Nang''s head. "Agh-!!!" he cried, "Ah--!!!" the maid and Luo Mei screamed, The two of them were so scared from the bold move just now that they shrunk themselves back in a corner. Even the coach who has seen a lot of fights like this, was stunned and shocked by Jing Yi and unconsciously had shrunk himself away from her and Chen Nang. She did it without thinking, and she was so calm. The broken glass fragments fell down, accompanied by red liquid flowing down Chen Nang''s face. Whether it was blood or wine, it was hard to tell. The red stained his face and he stumbled back on the floor. His head was dizzy and his vision was unstable, subconsciously he brought a hand over his head and felt the warm, thick, and sticky blood. He was so mad and infuriated that with one sharp move he slapped Jing Yi. She was prepared to block his attack, but his strength was far more than hers and pain erupted from her cheek once his hand met her face. She almost fell from the force but grabbed the chair in time and saved herself. Their was a hot and burning pain, her face was cold and stunned. Chapter 109 - Ripped Her Dress The fat man''s eyes were stormy and bloodthirsty, "You wrecked girl! You''ve crossed the line, I will strip you naked and have you begging for mercy!" "It is illegal for you to do this" The coach said nervously, "It''s none of your business, kid!" The thin man snarled at him, The maid was frightened and nervously took out her phone to call either the police or Lu Ming, but she was scared and trembling the phone fell from her hands and slid away. Luo Mei didn''t knew what to do and shouted nervously, "The police are coming! The police are coming!" The fat man grabbed Jing Yi''s hand and glanced outside the glass window, there was no one. Jing Yi tried to struggle and free herself but it was all in vain. Chen Nang glared at Luo Mei, "You dare play with me! Once I am finished with her you are next!" Luo Mei glanced at the coach who was white and scared, she didn''t dare to move or even speak. On the other side no matter how hard she tried, Jing Yi couldn''t free herself, she has had a lot of training and didn''t lacked in strength but Chen Nang was a man and a fat one on the top. Jing Yi was not going to give up this easily, Chen Nang grabbed her collar and she kicked his groin with all the strength she can summon. He released her but Jing Yi felt a sudden cold air kiss her down the neck. She looked down, her dress was ripped, and her delicate skin was exposed. She was bold and fearless when it came to fighting, but she has never exposed her skin to anyone beside her Imperial Uncle! And Lu Ming. But now not only was her dress ripped, her bra was also showing. Seeing such a scene, the fat man Chen Nang''s eyes turned darker, revealing a greedy look. Unconsciously he licked his lips and swallowed hard. Jing Yi was feeling humiliated, her face sank and with a slightly panicked movements she raised her hands and protected her chest. She hugged herself and looked at Chen Nang in front of her. Her small body stepped back. Never in her life has she been disrespected like this before, her body shook and a drop of tear streamed down her face. No one dare to hurt her like this, her self esteem was wounded and it was something extremely important to her.Except for Huangfu, and Lu Ming in this world she has never been in contact with man. And just now what Chen Nang did was unacceptable and depressing. Her eyes were turning red as she tightly bit her lips to contain her sobs. All she could was to cover herself with her hands, afraid she would be more humiliated. Chapter 110 - This Princesss Husband Is Lu Ming! Jing Yi ran as far as she could, clutching her hands tightly around herself. But there was nowhere to escape, her path was soon blocked by a wall and she heard the approaching footsteps as her body trembled. Just like a lion who was hunting, he strode toward her. Jing Yi looked like a trembling rabbit, and he stretched his claws as he went forward and hit her. She couldn''t run no more and a red mark appeared over her other cheek. Chen Nang smirked at her pitiful figure. "Bloody wh*re! Where did that boldness go, huh? You are crying when I only ripped your dress a little, you won''t be able to move when I am done with you!" The two women on the back exchanged nervous glances, they had only brought these two men to make Jing Yi compensate with money but now after Jing Yi hit him, they doubted he would listen to reasoning. One of them nervously said, "Chen Nang... d-don''t overdo this. Her bag is a limited edition from Lu Corp, and is worth tens of thousands! Let''s just take it and forget about the matter..." Chen Nang glared at the two of them, "The heck you mean by that!! I was beaten like this! How can I forget it and run away like some coward now!" He turned back and pulled Jing Yi up by her hair, but the moment he touched her a sharp pain shot across his face. While his back was to her, she had picked a fork in her hand and slashed it across his face.His face turned darker and furious, it was now covered with more blood and looked more pathetic. But he was still not going to let go of the situation, with gritted teeth he spat, "You damned sl*t! You dare harm me twice, I won''t kill you today I am going to make it worse that death!" Jing Yi wasn''t afraid from his threats or by the next hit that sent a blinding pain across her body, she only knew that she couldn''t allow herself to be more humiliated. She was a proud princess and there was no way she can have anyone humiliate her like this as long as she is alive. He grabbed her hair and slammed her body against the wall, there was no way to escape his strength suppressed her. She grabbed the fork more tightly and dug it next to her throat,"If you dare to touch me..." "You will kill yourself for me?" he smiled with a fake look of sorrow, "Then I will just have to strip your corpse and throw it over streets..." "..." Jing Yi''s trembling body shrunk back, She has lived for fourteen years and has never been humiliated and bullied like this. Chan Nang''s fat hand approached toward her. Jing Yi knew she can do nothing, a pair of red eyes glared at him as she threatened him with her last remaining will to fight, "This princess''s husband is Lu Ming! If he knows about how you humiliated me, he will not let you go!" Fat man, Chen Nang, including the other thin man, the two women, and even the coach and Luo Mei looked at her at the same time. A few moment''s silence was followed by Chen Nang''s laugh, "You still have the strength to brag? Even if Lu Ming is actually your man... Everyone in the S-City knows that he wants to get rid of his wife. I am sure he would be thanking me once I am finished here..." Chapter 111 - Bloodlust "You still have the strength to brag? Even if Lu Ming is actually your man... Everyone in the S-City knows that he wants to get rid of his wife. I am sure he would be thanking me once I am finished here..." His face was right next to her, so close she could feel his suffocating breath. She drew the fork deeper and closed her eyes, After given a chance to live again, Jing Yi didn''t want to die like this but it seemed like fate has different plans for her. "I dare you to try" a voice as cold and emotionless as if it came from hell bellowed, the whole restaurant was filled with a silent chilly aura, Chen Nang subconsciously turned back, When the two evil women saw Lu Ming entering, they had a dumbstruck but frightened look over their faces. Chen Nang has never seen Lu Ming, he had only heard of him. With a disappointing look, he shouted at his other mates, "Weren''t you supposed to be keeping a watch? Why the heck you let this lowly boy come in?! Throw him out this instant!" He turned toward his attention back to Jing Yi.Li Ming took swift large strides and the two women were covered in cold sweat. As he walked Lu Ming''s hand grabbed an empty chair and he dragged it along him. With a sharp twist of his hands, he ruthlessly smacked the chair against the back of Chen Nan. With a painful cry, Chen Nang fell on the ground. Slowly blood pooled around his head. But Lu Ming was not done yet, he lifted the chair and slammed it against the fatally wounded man again and again as he cried and begged to stop. Somehow he dragged himself away and tried to stand up with the help of the nearby table, there blood and bruises all over him. He looked like some zombie and so horrible that everyone else was dumbstruck and pale, excluding Lu Ming obviously. The waiter has hidden in some corner and was now trembling with fear. He should have run away earlier with the others! Chen Nang crawled under the table grabbing his bleeding head and struggled to lift his and looked at the demon who hit him crazily. Lu Ming''s eyes were glaring daggers at him, he tossed away the chair and walked toward Jing Yi. As he walked closer Lu Ming''s eyes turned deeper and colder. He couldn''t tell whether the red liquid over her dress was blood or wine, the neckline of her dress was torn exposing her shoulders and a red bruise. She was holding her chest with one hand, her head hanging down as her small body slowly shook. On the other hand, she held a fork so tightly as if it was the only source of her life. A pang shot in his heart, it was like a fierce blow making him angry and grievous at the same time. Kneeling down, he slowly reached out and lifted her face. But his hand froze in the middle of it, her beautiful little face was red from bruises, and her bright cheery eyes looked tired, devoid of home and red from crying. Four red dots were bleeding above her throat. A cold shiver went across his body if he was a little late ... would she have used this method to maintain her chastity? Lu Ming''s hand shook slightly, his eyes turned as dark as the depths of hell. He stood up and violently strode toward the table Jing Yi was sitting earlier and picked a bottle of wine as he turned toward Chen Nang. Chapter 112 - Demon V5 Lu Ming dragged a bottle of wine emitting a chilly and sinister aura. Everyone''s frightened gazes were upon him as he didn''t even blinked as he threw the bottle against Chen Nang''s trembling figure below the table. The broken pieces of glass ripped through his skin, but the other man was in no mood to stop. And Chen Nang was not able to do anything making him furious and frightened at the same time. "Stop it!!"The wine bottles were finished and he let a sigh unconsciously, with some struggle he lifted his heavy head and his eyes turned strange. Lu Ming picked a knife. Chen Nang immediately screamed, "You are stepping out of your line now! Make sure you kill me or I won''t be letting you go off that easily!" "As you wish!" Lu Ming growled the cold words and everyone flinched at that,the knife grazed his skin. The fat man desperately tried move back further and screamed at his mates, "Call the cops! Do you want this madman to kill me?!!" The coach and the thin man were frozen from fear, both has seen the streets fights which often turned dirty. But even they have never seen something like this, Chen Nang''s head was bloody, and that wasn''t the only scary thing. His whole white shirt was red.Numerous cuts and wounds were visible all over his pain was clear by the way he walked, crooking his body to the side. The thin trembled as Lu Ming was approaching closer and closer, he quickly fumbled his phone out and dialed the police number with shaking fingers. But he couldn''t press the button to make the make, afraid of the consequences. "You want the police, huh?" Lu Ming snatched the phone and made the call,The line was quickly connected. "Western Restaurant, Ruby Mall, third floor. There is a murder happening" "..." After Lu Ming hung up the phone, he tossed it toward the thin man who was too stunned to grab it. The phone clanked against the floor and he was still not sure if he heard Lu Ming right.The two woman shivered at the words, and Chen Nang was drained of color. "Y-you..." They didn''t realized as their legs started to shake, if it wasn''t for the table behind to support them they would have fallen down. One of them founds a bit of courage and tries to make Lu Ming change his mind, "Ch-Chairman Lu....you...you...that will sent you in prison for life!" Lu Ming noticed there were other people around.The cold eyes swept over to the woman who spoke, and she almost fell back from the intensity behind his eyes. Chapter 113 - Not Afraid Of Anything Her knees wobbled and she almost fell back. Lu Ming strode toward their direction, and the two woman felt a wave of chill across their spine. No one dared to breathe. He went past them, toward the glass doors where hung a sign of ''open''. Lu Ming flipped it to ''close'' and turned around fixing his gaze over the crouched waiter. "Close the curtains" The waiter did not dare to neglect, and immediately ran toward the counter where his picked a remote and pressed a button. The curtains slowly slid down blocking the outside view. Lu Ming walked back and went to the table where Chen Nang was now hiding. He knelt down and looked at him. Lu Ming''s eyes were like sharp blades that caused him tremble. "Which hand you used?" "..." Chen Nang shook his head and hid his hands behind him, he recalled Jing Yi saying Lu Ming is her husband and now after seeing how cold, authoritative and demonic this person in front of him was. Chen Nang was sure that this man was none other than the prince of the S-city! He regretted his hotheadedness. "Did you used both of them?" "..." Chen Nang shrunk back further and refused to come out. Lu Ming stood up and swept his eyes over the other four people in the hall, "Who else was with him?" Everyone shook their head quickly. Lu Ming took back his line of sight and kicked away the chair in front of him without any pause he slammed away the table. Chen Nang flinched and tried to move back but the fallen pieces of broken glass cut his skin, he begged for mercy as Lu Ming came closer "Lu...Lu...I-I am sorry! I...I shouldn''t have..." Lu Ming picked a stake knife from the nearby table and his leather shoes made crunching sounds as he walked over the broken glass pieces. The atmosphere didn''t dare to breathe, a silent storm of cold made everyone freeze in their corners. Yiren''s small voice came, "Lu...Ming...the police..." The captain of the police was also momentarily frozen until Yiren''s voice snapped him back to reality, he straightened his waist, "Chairman Lu!" He came inside followed by the other policemen. Lu Ming didn''t replied and turned away to walk toward Jing Yi. With one hand he removed his coat and wrapped it around her. Anger was still boiling in his veins, his body was itching to finish of the fat man but the moment he saw Jing Yi his anger turned into tenderness. Gently he lifted her in his arms, and gently stroked her face trying to calm her still quivering body. "Yiren, I am here now. There''s no need to afraid" Jing Yi felt the familiar presence around her and without knowing her body calmed down. But she didn''t speak and bit her lips as she looked at him. Lu Ming stroked her hair away and tucked them behind her ear, feelings of distress clawed his heart. Chapter 114 - Back Home Every bruise on her skin inflicted inexplicable pain to him. "Want to go home?" Jing Yi nodded after some moments. She grabbed his coat more tightly around her to cover her exposed skin, he hugged her body closer to his and turned to walk away.Before leaving, he told the captain of the police, "I want his one hand gone" His words made some tremble. The police captain nodded at his officers and they went forward to do the job. Lu Ming and Jing Yi left the restaurant. Tearful cries could be heard from behind. 20 minutes later~ The car arrived at home, Lu Ming carefully came out with Jing Yi. Butler Wu and the doctor were already waiting by the main door, Lu Ming didn''t pause and walked toward the bedroom. The doctor immediately followed and he said without pausing, "Butler Wu, call the officials of Ruby Mall and That Western Restaurant" "Yes" he bowed and turned toward the phone, Lu Ming gently placed Jing Yi upon the bed and let the doctor check her as he silently watched. Lu Ming wasn''t finished with work at the office but decided to pick up Jing Yi, and now as he thought about the scene he was met when he reached there, he couldn''t help the fear the crawled inside him. If he hadn''t decided to come early, if there was even a small delay...she would have been molested further... He might have never been able to see her again... He never wanted to see something like that again, letting out a frustrated breath and suppressing his anger he turned toward the closet to take out a fresh set of clothes. The doctor was a little relieved, besides some bruises and small scratches around her face and shoulder, fortunately, there was nothing else to worry about. Besides the mental trauma. She opened her bag and took out some medicines and asked Lu Ming to give the dosage morning and evening until the scars and swellings are gone. Lu Ming took out pajamas and went to the bathroom to open the tab of the bathtub. He returned to Jing Yi and spoke gently, "Go take a bath" Jing Yi nodded and left the bed clutching Lu Ming''s coat around her tightly. Lu Ming followed her toward the bathroom. Probably because of his presence she stopped once inside and didn''t move, eye staring at the floor. Lu Ming carefully reached out and slid away from his coat from her shoulders. Feeling the cold, Jing Yi clenched her hands around her chest in order to protect her exposed skin. Not daring to lift her eyes, she hugged herself. Lu Ming was slightly stunned by her actions but he felt more distress in his heart when he saw her so frightened like this. Lu Ming softly placed his hand over hers, and gently said, "Don''t be afraid, you need to remove clothes to take shower"Jing Yi slowly lifted her head and looked at Lu Ming, her eyes were filled with tears, "Uncle..."
