He had nothing more to say.

He just repeated ‘sorry’ many times, apologizing to her.

They remained in that ambiguous position as he held her in his arms tightly along the corridor.

At long last, Jun Xiqing stopped crying and she lifted her arm, pulling his hands away. “Lu Yeming, I’ve been defeated, I don’t want to see you next time… ever again.”

She ran away.

This time, she had lost.

Regarding that bet, the bet about who would fall in love first, she had lost.

All this time, she had never said that she liked him. Even when they got intimate at the small village, even when he coaxed her, she had never said it. But now, she admitted that she had been defeated, this was the testament of her love.

This was a twisted fate from the very start.

Before they could even begin a relations.h.i.+p, it ended just like that.

Jun Xiqing left.

Lu Yeming stood there, watching her leave. Clenching his fists by his sides, this was the first time he realized that everyone was leaving him.

…

After she departed, Jun Xiqing headed straight for the North, leading the legendary Wolf Iron Steed Troop to Country Z, claiming a glorious victory. She took only two days to oust Lei Ze and the Jun family made a grand comeback once again.

Lu Yeming arrived at the bar. Standing outside the private room, he took off his coat and handed it to Fan Men before he went inside.

But he heard the people inside talking.

—-Do you know the hottest news now?

—-Of course, it’s about the youngest daughter of the Jun family impressing the world!

The men started gossiping like a group of women fawning over a celebrity, “The tables have turned in Country Z now. The Jun family has made a grand comeback. The youngest daughter of the Jun family, Jun Xiqing, came with wolves at dawn and made her name known. The news of her has spread quickly, which means she will become the first female ruler at the young age of 20. She has become a legend.”

“The youngest daughter of the Jun family has been hidden all the while, we only just learned of her existence now.”

“How did she make her name known?”

One of the men took out a scroll of painting, carefully opening it up. It was a beautifully drawn portrait.

“Look, this is a portrait of the youngest daughter of the Jun family, Jun Xiqing!”

From the door, Lu Yeming lifted his eyes, looking at the portrait. He hadn’t sent her off that day when she left in the morning.

But he was constantly updated with news about her these few days. He heard that she led the wolves and the roaring sounds of them attracted huge crowds. News of the youngest daughter of the Jun family spread like wildfire, forming a legend. Many vied to take just one look at her stunning presence.

Lu Yeming looked at the portrait. It was sunrise, the golden rays shone down and Jun Xiqing rode on the back of a wolf, looking as impressive as it sounded. On her body was a beautiful white, flowing long dress and it moved around as the wind blew.

She led the Wolf Iron Steed Troop and they followed behind her, it was truly an impressive scene. The way this scene was captured by the artist, even after time pa.s.sed, it wouldn’t be forgotten about at all.

From then onwards, the youngest daughter of the Jun family, Jun Xiqing, became a living legend.

Standing there, Lu Yeming remained calm and collected as he continued looking at the portrait, his gaze not moving away.

“Master.” Fan Men stepped forward.

Lu Yeming retracted his gaze, choosing to not enter the private room. Instead, he turned around to leave, not forgetting to leave behind some words. “Let Silver Mask King know that I have something on so I’ll leave first.”

“Yes.”

…

In the luxurious private room.

The men continued gossiping, “Silver Mask King, come and take a look at the youngest daughter of the Jun family.”

Xuan Ying sat on the black leather sofa, leaning against it in a languid manner. Fan Men entered the room and bent down, whispering beside his ears and he nodded, acknowledging Fan Men’s words.

After Fan Men left, Xuan Ying lifted his eyes to look at the portrait. He remained expressionless, not taking much interest in it as he lowered his eyes, taking a sip of wine.

The men signaled at each other. West Duke was going to reign over the world and Xuan Ying stood on his side. With that, Xuan Ying was bound to have great power too. These two men were the most powerful men in the whole of Country A now. But the two men only got more cold and unfeeling as time pa.s.sed, gradually fading out of the public eye.

In fact, Xuan Ying hadn’t come out in a very long time. Ever since the explosion at that time, he hadn’t been seen for a very long time.

It was said that he had dismissed all of the concubines and maids at the Snow Mountain Residence and only brought his mother, Concubine Yu, to reside with him.

The men looked at each other. “Silver Mask King, it’s so boring to drink alone. I have someone new who can probably relieve your boredom.”

A girl walked inside.

“Why are you still standing there? Hurry and go pour Silver Mask King some wine!”

“Yes.”

The girl quickly walked over to Xuan Ying, bending over to pour Xuan Ying a gla.s.s of wine.

Xuan Ying lifted his eyes to look at the girl with familiar features. It seemed she had undergone cosmetic surgery to achieve the same appearance as Feng Lingxue. Though she had undergone some procedures, her appearance was still attractive nonetheless.

Xuan Ying gave her another glance.

The men started cheering when they noticed Xuan Ying expressing some interest in the girl. “You’re lucky, Silver Mask King has an interest in you. Hurry up and show whatever you’ve got under your belt, make sure to pleasure Silver Mask King.”

With all the men teasing her, the girl blushed and crouched down beside Xuan Ying, slowly approaching him.

The man exuded a cold, dangerous aura. His trousers were tailored for his long legs and being a mature man with such powerful status, it only served to accentuate his charms. He made all girls’ hearts thump.

Swallowing down a breath, she carefully approached him, stretching her hand out to unbuckle the belt around his waist.

But she hadn’t managed to do it. Xuan Ying got up from the sofa and walked towards the door.

“You all can continue to have fun, I’ll take my leave first.”

Xuan Ying then left.

…

Ah Zhou went to get the car and Xuan Ying stood along the road, with one hand in his pocket as he held a cigarette in another while he waited.

With the cold night breeze blowing around and the fogginess of the smoke surrounding him, he furrowed his brows.

He already tried so hard to stop himself from thinking about her. But when he saw the exact face that bore much resemblance to her, he lost all control.

Lowering his head, he continued to puff on the cigarette. But he suddenly heard a pleasant voice drift into his ears. “Mu Mu, do you want to have some cotton candy?”

“I want~”

“Mommy will buy you some then.”

Xuan Ying was stunned, instantly lifting his head.

On the opposite side of the road, Xia Ling wore a white coat standing there, holding Mu Mu’s hand.
