Chapter 855: Sorry, But I Can’t Marry You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Country Z’s bullet-proof luxury cars were here, making such a great spectacle. There could be only one reason – that being Country Z’s President, Jun Mosheng was here.

The luxury business cars pulled up slowly. An entourage of royal guards with a golden ‘Z’ embroidered on their sleeves opened the car doors respectfully. Jun Mosheng got out.

The doors of the luxury cars behind were opened as well, as Tang Mo’er and Tang Chenyi both got out. They walked over to stand beside Jun Mosheng.

Lu Jinwen’s sculpted features turned cold instantly. Why was that damned Jun Mosheng here again? Tang Mo’er and Tang Chenyi had obviously gone to fetch Jun Mosheng. Now they stood by his side, as though they were Jun Mosheng’s daughter and son.

The whole scene was rather disturbing.

Mo’er was his daughter, but she refused to acknowledge him as her father.

And then there was Tang Chenyi. The presidents in the VIP room had told him that Tang Chenyi looked like him, but he looked like Jun Mosheng as well, hmph!

At this moment, a melodious voice sounded beside his ear. “Mosheng, you’re here?”

Lin Xuanji who was in his embrace pushed him away and walked over to Jun Mosheng.

Lu Jinwen was speechless.

Caught off guard, he stumbled back a few steps. Now he stood rooted to the ground, staring blankly at Lin Xuanji as she walked over to Jun Mosheng’s side.

Jun Mosheng had been surrounded so quickly, yet he stood there alone, abandoned. Lu Jinwen’s expression turned ugly, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

As Jun Mosheng looked over at Lin Xuanji, his gaze seemed to soften. “Xuanji, have you been waiting long for me?”

“That’s right, I came down specifically to fetch you,”Lin Xuanji said with a laugh.

She had come down just for Jun Mosheng?

Lu Jinwen’s hands balled into fists. All his actions just now were a result of him mistakenly thinking that she still loved him!

“Uncle Jun, let’s go over to the hotel for dinner first. We can talk over dinner,” Tang Mo’er said.

“Alright.”

The royal guards opened the car doors and all of them got in. All three cars drove off majestically.

It was as though he didn’t exist.

Lu Jinwen continued standing frozen at that same spot. No one was paying any heed to him! How was it that no one was paying any heed to him!

…

The bullet-proof luxury car.

Jun Mosheng’s eyes stayed on Lin Xuanji’s beautiful face. In the few days that she was in the Capital, he had worried terribly about her condition. He was relieved after confirming that she was fine.

“Xuanji, where are you in considering my offer?”

Lin Xuanji hesitated, and shook her head slowly. “I’m sorry Mosheng, but I can’t marry you.”

“Why not?” A bell-like melodious voice sounded out.

There was a boy sitting behind Jun Mosheng. He was dressed in a clean white T-shirt, and was slimmer than most boys of his age. His face was extremely small, and he looked extremely ordinary. The most that could be said about him was his elegance. But his black eyes were shining beautifully, glimmering with intelligence and seemed to captivate one’s attention without even trying.

He looked as though he just turned 18.

“Mosheng, this is?” Lin Xuanji asked.

“Oh, this is Qing’er, my trusted confidant.”

Lin Xuanji looked at Qing’er and took a liking to him almost immediately. The boy’s eyes were both intelligent and sharp, much like her younger self.

Even though Mo’er was like her, Mo’er personality was softer, and she received more love from men.

Qing’er’s looked at Lin Xuanji with his bright eyes. “Madam Xuanji, even though Sir is currently the West Duke in Country A, other than the Feng Family, the North Duke who is maintaining neutrality, and the East Duke and the South Duke are already plotting to assassinate Sir. There’s danger at every corner for him.

“Sir has two choices now. One is for his family to join with the Feng Family. For this to happen, Young Madam has to marry into the Feng Family, but she is already Madam Gu. Gu Yelin is already three years old. Once the Gu Family gets entangled in the political struggle of Country A, it’ll be hard to anticipate the future. I don’t think you can take that, Madam Xuanji.”

“The second option is for you to marry President Jun. President Jun has yet to wed anyone his entire life and doesn’t have any sons under his name. Once you marry President Jun, Sir will become the Young Master of Country Z. He would succeed President Jun as the ruler of Country Z in the future. In that case, he would be able to obtain Country A easily!

“I don’t understand why you don’t want to agree. As long as you accept, Sir will become the ruler of two countries and conquer the world.”

Lin Xuanji’s lips curved upwards. She looked sideways at Tang Chenyi, and asked gently, “Chenyi, do you need mom to do this?”

Tang Chenyi lay lazily on the car seat, expressionless. His eyes were clear and light, as though the topic didn’t concern him at all.

Hearing Lin Xuanji speak, Tang Chenyi looked lightly at Qing’er. “Regardless of whether it’s my mom or my sister being married off, I don’t need it. I don’t need them to pave my way to being the ruler by sacrificing themselves.”

Lin Xuanji nodded in agreement. She had spent too little time with her children in this lifetime, but still managed to teach them a thing or two.

What she wanted to teach them was perseverance and strength. She wanted them to be responsible and have courage.

Her Mo’er and Chenyi would become people who were both independent and brave.

Qing’er took a look at Tang Chenyi and stayed silent.

“Mosheng,” Lin Xuanji said as she looked at Mosheng, “You’ve already helped Chenyi enough these three years. I can’t marry you just to help Chenyi get the position at the top. It’s too unfair to you.”

She would never be able to repay Mosheng for what he had done for her in this lifetime. She didn’t want to use him for the remainder of her life.

It would be too unfair for him.

Jun Mosheng nodded. In all the years that they had known each other, he had always respected her decisions and supported her silently from the shadows. This time was no exception. “Alright Xuanji, I won’t ever bring this topic up again.”

…

The bullet-proof luxury car stopped in front of the hotel. Jun Mosheng got off and suddenly coughed violently.

“Uncle.” Jun Xiqing handed a white handkerchief over to Jun Mosheng swiftly.

Jun Mosheng covered his mouth as he coughed another two times. As he lowered his hands, there was a blood stain on the handkerchief.

Jun Mosheng was coughing up blood.

“Uncle!”

“Shh!” Jun Mosheng indicated for him to keep quiet. He looked at Lin Xuanji who was in front of him and said weakly, “Don’t let Xuanji find out.”

“Why? You’ve caught the Cold disease, and have been coughing blood for half a month already. Even the doctor doesn’t know what to do. Because you’ve never married and don’t have a son, some people in Country Z are already starting to stir with unease. Everyone is eying your Presidential position. The only choice you have is for Madam Xuanji to marry you. Tang Chenyi is a famous name, he is young and talented. He can protect Country Z for you, and you can obtain Country A for him. He’ll become a legendary ruler with power over two countries.”

Jun Mosheng shook his head slowly. “If you tell her, she’ll definitely marry me. But I don’t want to do that. I’ve never coerced her before. My love for her will only serve to help her…”
