Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

Jun Xiqing shook her head and wrote more words on his palms – I want peace.

Peace.

Ping Ping’s eyes filled with tears. How could anyone not love and respect Her Highness?

Lu Yeming raised his brow and looked at her with his deep eyes, a little contemptuously. “If you’re not just an idiot, then you’re definitely the reincarnation of a saint. Don’t you know to retaliate when someone has brought the battle to your doorstep?”

Jun Xiqing shook her head and wrote another word on his palm – tonight.

Tonight?

But she didn’t elaborate.

That was all she wrote.

Fan Men and Ping Ping both looked at Jun Xiqing quizzically. Only Lu Yeming noticed her deep, burning gaze.

But Jun Xiqing only turned around and left as Ping Ping rushed after her.

“Your Highness, what did President Jun mean by that?” Fan Men asked.

Lu Yeming looked at Jun Xiqing’s retreating figure as his thin lips slowly curved upwards…

…

In the room.

Jun Xiqing took a shower and changed into a white chiffon dress. She sat in the rocking rattan chair with a book in her hand, with the skirt dragging along the floor. She looked beautiful and at peace.

Ping Ping combed her soft hair from behind and said, “Your Highness, it’s night time.”

Oh.

Jun Xiqing put her book down slowly and walked over to the mirror. She lifted her hands and took off the veil.

Her beautiful, unmarred face appeared in the mirror. There wasn’t a single scar on her face.

A maid from Ah Jiao’s Room walked out and started whispering, “Quick, report back to Sister Yan. That sly old fox Yuan Ming has deceived us. He never ruined Jun Xiqing’s face!”

“Yes ma’am!”

…

Jun Xiyan rushed over in the deep of the night as soon as she heard the news and planned to meet Yuan Ming discreetly at a riverside.

Yuan Ming had rushed over as well. Jun Xiqing started questioning him angrily the moment she saw him. “Clan Head Yuan Ming, what is the meaning of this? I handed Jun Xiqing over to you on the condition that you would ruin her face, yet you betrayed me by leaving her face untouched?”

Yuan Ming stared at her in shock. “What do you mean? I ruined her face using a special acid. No doctor in the world will be able to help her regain her looks.”

“Yuan Ming, are you lying to me? This partnership is over!” Jun Xiyan turned and left.

“Stop!” With a contemptuous laugh, Yuan Ming sneered and said, “You think you can come whenever you want and leave whenever it suits you? You’ve been secretly working with the Clan Head of the Holy Lady Clan to harm Jun Xiqing. The real traitor of the nation is you!”
