Of these two women, one of them was the recipient of Lu Yeming’s limitless doting, while the other was the recipient of his endless love.

All women wished they could become either one of them. It could be seen just how attractive Lu Yeming was.

In contrast, Jun Xiqing was not interested in this fight for his affections. The one she was interested in was... General Yue.

General Yue was also at the bar. He and a few bureaucrats were sitting in a booth smoking and drinking, surrounded by several sexy ladies.

Jun Xiqing asked Ping Ping in a quiet voice, “Ping Ping, how would we attract a man’s attention?”

Ping Ping considered a moment before answering. “By dancing of course. In this bar, if you can perform a pole-dance, all the men would immediately turn their attention to you.”

Was it really that effective?

But she didn’t know how to dance.

Jun Xiqing felt very distressed. She knew all sorts of social dances, but not the type of pole-dancing performed by Sister Mo’er and Sister Ling Ling.

An idea suddenly popped into her head.

Standing up, Jun Xiqing went over to the bartender. “Mister, please allow me.”

The bartender looked at her. “Miss, you know how to mix drinks?”

There was a couple standing in front of them, and the guy had his arm around the girl’s shoulders. “Do you really know how to mix drinks? I’ll make a complaint about you if you mix the drink wrong and upset my girlfriend.”

The commotion attracted the attention of many others, including Lu Yeming, who slowly lifted his gaze to look at them.

Jun Xiqing was wearing a pale purple silk shirt and a white hip-hugging skirt. Her hair was bound in a high ponytail, revealing her slim and delicate little face. She had a youthful and fresh type of beauty that was unbelievably attractive.

As Lu Yeming watched her, a lively spark flashed across her eyes as she gave a light smile. “Don’t worry, just watch.”

Jun Xiqing poured five different liquors into a glass, as well as some ice cubes, before mixing up the concoction. Under the bright lights, she dazzled the crowd with vitality as a beauty that moved the heart.

“Watch carefully. Your cocktail is ready.”

Jun Xiqing produced a handkerchief and draped it over the cocktail glass. Then with a mysterious wave of her hand, she drew back the handkerchief to reveal that the cocktail had disappeared, leaving behind a lovely rose.

Wow!

Everyone was stunned. Magic!

Jun Xiqing knew how to perform magic.

“Pretty lady, this is for you.” Jun Xiqing gave the rose to the girlfriend.

The girlfriend was so happy that she hugged and kissed her boyfriend on the spot.

Wow!

The atmosphere within the bar turned exuberant. Someone was even smacking the table and whistling.

“Your Highness, you’re so amazing!” Ping Ping exclaimed in surprise.

Jun Xiqing fluttered her lashes at Ping Ping smugly. I am pretty great, right?

Lu Yeming gave a slight smile after witnessing her little trick.

The daughter of a political head was sitting beside him and she noticed his smile. She asked rather bashfully, “President Lu, I wonder... what type of girl you like?”

This was supposed to be a matchmaking session, but the girl could clearly feel that this man wasn’t interested. Although he was sitting right here, he had yet to even look at her.

Nevertheless, it didn’t stop her from liking this man.

What type of girl did he like?

This was the question that all girls wished to ask.

Lu Yeming took up his cocktail drink and took an elegant sip. He gazed toward Jun Xiqing and said in a low voice, “Interesting ones.”

He liked interesting girls?

The girl beside him didn’t expect such an answer and fell into a daze.

Lu Yeming turned to look at the girl. “You are very beautiful and very kind. But I have no intention of marrying another.”

The girl blushed. “But... it’s been three years and your Empress has yet to give birth to a Prince...”

Country A had its own traditions, which dictated that every ruler had to marry a Holy Lady.

Tradition also stipulated that within a year of marriage, the Empress had to give birth to a Prince. It was even to the degree that if the Empress remained barren for three years, the ruler had to take on a consort and create a harem.

That was why those political heads were eagerly thrusting their own daughters before Lu Yeming. Even if she ended up being just a consort, if she managed to give birth to a Prince, her status would be on par with that of Dongfang Ruoli.

As the ruler of Country A, the marriages of Lu Yeming were pure political alliances. Whoever he chose would affect bilateral relations with another country. There were too many ladies who wished to marry him. It was up to him how he chose.

The girl blushed even deeper. There were some things she didn’t feel right saying out loud, but this was a rare opportunity.

She had no choice but to draw up her courage and look at Lu Yeming’s refined and handsome face. “President Lu, my Daddy said that you have to pick a consort to give birth to a Prince. I heard that your father is already pressuring you regarding this. Your Empress has yet to get pregnant and there are already rumors swirling around out there. I am willing to marry you as your consort. After we get married, I will definitely... bear you a son as soon as possible.”

Bear him a son?

Lu Yeming raised one elegant eyebrow at that word. Then he looked toward Jun Xiqing.

Jun Xiqing had already pulled Ping Ping by the hand to the dance floor. “Ping Ping, let’s dance.”

Ping Ping was Jun Xiqing’s royal lady and she went pale with fright. “Your Highness, we must get off the dance floor quickly. If those old senators found out that you have come to a bar to dance, they would froth at the mouth with rage.”

In response, Jun Xiqing waved her off and happily moved her delicate arms and feet to the music. “Ping Ping, don’t bother about them. Sometimes we have come out to relax and have fun.”

There were many people dancing on the dance floor. Ping Ping was not as lithe or nimble as Jun Xiqing and could only twist and turn her body awkwardly. Nevertheless, a smile gradually spread across Ping Ping’s face as she watched Jun Xiqing’s happy expression.

On the side, Lu Yeming looked on as Jun Xiqing danced without any inhibitions. She moved her slender hands and feet and even wriggled her slim waist in youthful exuberance.

It was apparent that she was very happy.

The dazzling spotlight shone upon her delicate face and she exuded a radiance that made it difficult to tear one’s eyes away from her.

At this moment, a voice drifted over to Lu Yeming’s ears from another booth. “General Yue, look! It’s President Jun!”

“General Yue, I heard that President Jun gave you a hot, stinging slap that day. Now, it looks like her figure is even hotter. Check it out.”

General Yue gazed toward the dance floor and immediately picked out Jun Xiqing. His eyes roamed freely over her lovely face and slender figure. A malevolent and lascivious glint flashed across his pupils. “I heard that this Jun Xiqing is still unmarried and doesn’t even have a boyfriend. But from what I can see... she has already been bedded by a man.”

The eyes of the bureaucrats brightened up and they immediately hustled together. “General Yue, are you saying that President Jun is not a virgin?”

General Yue pinched the soft waist of the pretty girl beside him, as he smoked and shook his leg casually. “I have had so many women that I can tell with just one glance if one is a virgin. I am never wrong. That Jun Xiqing has definitely been bedded by a man before!”
