Chapter 1197: The DNA Test

The current situation was that both the West Duke Lu Yeming and the Silver Mask King were standing strong, but after this battle, the Silver Mask King’s name had soared. The dignitaries had all invaded his Snow Mountain Residence this week. Xuan Ying was already slowly building up the potential to surpass Lu Yeming.

In contrast, Lu Yeming’s place was quiet. No matter how noisy and bustling Xuan Ying’s Snow Mountain Residence became, the West Palace was situated high up among the clouds and was peaceful and quiet.

Of course, Lu Yeming had to accept Xuan Ying’s invitation.

Since that time in the Jadeite Hall, Jun Xiqing had been sleeping with Tang Mo’er. She heard a few maids whispering as soon as she left her room.

—-The Silver Mask King and Miss Shi’s wedding is tomorrow. Who do you think the Master will bring?

—-Definitely Miss Ye Ruge. She’s our Duchess.

—-That may not necessarily be the case. Master can also bring Miss Ah Xiao or… Miss Jun.

—-All of you are wrong. I bet that Master is going to bring his Elder Sister!

—-Elder Miss?

—-That’s right, he brought Elder Miss to the banquet the previous time. He’s definitely bringing Elder Miss this time to the engagement banquet!

Jun Xiqing listened to all of this quietly. Who would Lu Yeming bring with him this time to the engagement banquet?

At this moment she walked over to the study, only to realize that the door wasn’t closed. She pushed open the door and walked in.

The study in the West Palace was extremely stylish. The monochrome interior was cold and majestic, very grand.

Jun Xiqing walked over to the study desk, where she saw a set of files on it.

The document was pressed under the files, but she could make out a few big words – DNA test.

DNA test?

Jun Xiqing’s breath stopped as she felt her heart jump to her throat.

Was her deduction correct?

Was Lu Yeming really not from the Lu Family?

Jun Xiqing felt that she had discovered a great mystery, with the answer right in front of her eyes. Nervousness, excitement, anticipation. These emotions coursed through her.

She slowly raised her hands and pushed the document out.

The DNA test was revealed. The first page was a cover with someone’s signature on it.

Jun Xiqing looked at the name. It was Lu Jinwen

Her lively eyes widened. The words ‘Lu Jinwen’ were written in elegant penmanship steadily on the paper. It was the signature of the great businessman, Lu Jinwen.

This DNA test had been ordered by… Lu Jinwen? Which meant… Lu Jinwen had left this DNA test for Lu Yeming before his death?

Jun Xiqing felt her blood burning. She had still been a young child three years ago and didn’t have many chances to interact with the legendary businessman Lu Jinwen. But she had heard that he was sly and intelligent and there was nothing he couldn’t do.

Lu Yeming was so similar to his father. Like his father, he was brooding, sharp and also as mighty as an emperor.

Now with the discovery of this DNA test, it was evident that before his death, they must have had an extremely secretive talk.

What was the result of that?

Jun Xiqing reached out and flipped the test over. But before she could flip the page, someone knocked on the door steadily and strongly.

Jun Xiqing froze and quickly turned back. A tall, handsome figure stood at the door.

Lu Yeming stood there in a custom-made white shirt, a tie around his neck. Over that, he wore a black suit without a single crease in sight with a white pocket square on it. He emanated elegance and poise.

With one hand in his pocket, the other was by his side after he had knocked on the door. His deep eyes landed on her face. Behind his vacant demeanor lay the sharpness of an eagle. He stared at her silently.

His right-hand man Fan Men stood protectively behind him, holding the navy jacket he had just taken off. He was looking at her as well.

Jun Xiqing felt her scalp going numb as he stared at her. She felt a little guilty for invading his personal study. It wasn’t noble of her to do so.

“Ha,” she laughed awkwardly. “West Duke, what a coincidence.”

Lu Yeming looked sideways at Fan Men.

Fan Men nodded and quickly left.

“Miss Jun, are you that interested in my personal matters?” Lu Yeming looked calmly at the DNA test on the table.

“…” Jun Xiqing had to think fast on her feet. “Of course! Doesn’t the West Duke want me to be his surrogate mother? I have to understand the West Duke’s heritage first then.”

Lu Yeming strutted over. His deep eyes shone coldly and maliciously. “Have you understood anything then?”

Jun Xiqing looked at him from top to toe. This man really really had a model-like figure. Whatever he wore looked beautiful on him, especially with this black suit on, which only served to emphasize his coldness, control and indifference. His every action was naturally graceful and kingly.

Sometimes, this came with a person’s blood, and no amount of interference after they were born could change that. Ever since he was a child, Lu Yeming had been extremely talented and a head above the rest.

Slowly, Jun Xiqing’s red lips curved upwards and her bright eyes seemed to shine with intelligence. “What I’m thinking is… if Lu Jinwen and Madam Xuanji’s son had died prematurely that year, who is the current West Duke then?”

With that, Jun Xiqing tilted her head and said, “I suddenly thought of a saying. The sparrow used to only nest in the houses of the rich, but now they nest in the houses of common folk.”

As soon as those words were out of her mouth, Lu Yeming suddenly closed his eyes and kicked the door shut with his legs. He stood tall and handsome beside the wall and reached up to tug on his tie. He licked his lips and said slowly, “I really want to let you go, but… you just keep arousing my interest.”

“Since you’re so interested in my blood, why not have a child with me?”

He smiled slowly, like a graceful cheetah eyeing its delicious prey.

Jun Xiqing wasn’t afraid of anything. She walked forward and yawned widely. “I’m tired. I’m going back to sleep. She put her small hands on the door handle.

At this moment a large palm reached over and pressed on her hand. “Who taught you to walk so freely into my territory, hm?”

At this, Jun Xiqing’s eyes shifted sideways. He had bent down to speak to her and his handsome face was inches away from hers.

The two of them were extremely close.

So close that they could see themselves in each other’s eyes.
