Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

He had never thought that one day she would agree to marry him because of Jun Mosheng.

Although she nodded her head and agreed, he should feel happy, instead, he felt very sad and lost deep down…

What was happening to him?

Lin Xuanji looked at Lu Jinwen. The man’s face was lowered and his entire body was enveloped in loneliness and desolation.

All these years, they had fought like cats and dogs to the bitter end, refusing to give in. This man had always exuded the presence of an Emperor above everyone else and it was the first time she was seeing him like this.

Lin Xuanji’s heart throbbed in pain. She did not know if the pain was due to the toxins, or… was her heart hurting for him?

At this moment, the doors of the helicopter opened and a man wearing a baseball cap nodded his head respectfully at the East Duke. “Duke.”

“Bring President Jun up,” the East Duke commanded.

“Yes sir.”

The man in the baseball cap suddenly whipped out a revolver and aimed it at the East Duke.

The East Duke was stunned and promptly evaded. The bullet was fired at one of the assistants.

“You… who are you? This is not my plane. Where is my plane?”

The man in the baseball cap took off his cap and threw it into the cabin, revealing a handsome face. It was a man whom they had not seen for years… Lu Fan.

Lu Fan was Lu Jinwen’s biological younger brother. When Lu Fan was younger, his idol was the “Invincible East”[1] and he was subsequently thrown into the army. He was currently the Commanding Officer in the army.

The heavens had been exceptionally kind to the Lu family. Like his brother, Lu Fan showed no signs of aging and he exuded maturity and charm.

Lu Fan leaned lazily against the cabin door. “You don’t have to see, your plane has already been shot down by me. You won’t be able to leave yourself and you’re still thinking of taking someone away?”

“What?”

The East Duke retreated two steps, turned around and looked at Lu Jinwen. “It’s your doing?”

“It’s me!”

At this moment, they heard a robust voice. Old Madam Lu was walking slowly down the staircase.

“Mom.” Lu Fan went over to Old Madam Lu and took his mother’s arm, before throwing a dismissive glance at the East Duke. “My Elder Brother doesn’t have so much guts. Even if he invited me, I wouldn’t come here.”

Lu Jinwen was speechless.

To put him down the moment he arrived, Lu Fan was really his biological younger brother!

Old Madam Lu looked at Lu Jinwen and nodded her head secretly – this son was still quite clever. He was able to coax Lin Xuanji to marry him by using the East Duke.

The East Duke realized that he had been used and that they were playing him at his own game!

“All of you, meet your deaths!”

At this moment, Old Master Lin took out a revolver and aimed it at Lin Xuanji.

Bang! The gun was fired once.

“Xuanji!”

“Xuanji!”

Two yells rang at once, and then a figure lunged at her. There was the sound of the bullet piercing through human flesh.

Lin Xuanji’s eyes narrowed suddenly. She had even forgotten to breathe. It was Jun Mosheng. Jun Mosheng had lunged forward, protecting her, as he always had.

Always.

The bullet pierced through his heart.

“Mosheng!”

“Uncle!”

Two shrill cries rang out and time seemed to slow as Jun Mosheng collapsed onto the ground.

“Mosheng!” Lin Xuanji promptly pressed on Jun Mosheng’s heart. Warm blood was smattering out and she did not know how to stop the bleeding. What should she do? Big droplets of tears fell down her face. Lin Xuanji was smiling amidst her tears. “Mosheng, it’s okay. We’ll go to the hospital now! You’ll be fine!”

The blood only continued to stain Jun Mosheng’s white shirt and formed beautiful plum blossom flowers. Jun Mosheng looked at the night sky. The stars were twinkling brightly and they were so beautiful. He felt warmth on his face from Xuanji’s tears.

He breathed lightly and his lips curved into a smile.

Jun Mosheng clutched Lin Xuanji’s hand and said, “Xuanji, do you still remember the words I said to you in the ship cabin many years ago?”

In the ship cabin many years ago…

In that precarious situation, although Lu Jinwen had also lunged forward but he was slightly slower and now, his entire body froze.

That year in the ship cabin, she had been captured by Lu Jinwen. Before leaving, she had said – ‘Lu Jinwen, if there’s a next life, I’ll pray to the heavens that I don’t get to know you.’

Now, Lin Xuanji’s vision was blurry from her tears. She had never owed anyone in this lifetime… except for Jun Mosheng.

Jun Mosheng was a sentimental man his whole life and did not marry because of her. He did not have any descendants either. He had given her the best and most unconditional kind of love.

“I remember… I’ll always remember…”

‘Jun Mosheng, we aren’t fated in this lifetime but I’ll betroth myself to you in my next lifetime.’

She had broken her ties with Lu Jinwen in this lifetime. In the next lifetime, she and Jun Mosheng would be together.

She remembered.

That was good enough for him.

Jun Mosheng raised his hand to wipe off Lin Xuanji’s tears. He could not bear for her to shed even one tear. “Xuanji, you’ll be mine in the next life, alright?”

Those words seemed to drive Lu Jinwen out of his stupor and he walked forward two steps. He would not allow it! She would always belong to him in her current and next lives!

But just then, he saw a bullet fly across from the corner of his eyes. It was swiftly flying towards Lin Xuanji.

This time, the bullet was fired by the East Duke.

The East Duke had fired a shot at Lin Xuanji.

Lu Jinwen’s eyes narrowed and promptly blocked her from the bullet. The bullet pierced through his left arm and he felt a stinging pain immediately.

At this moment, he heard Lin Xuanji’s voice. “Mosheng, I promise you!”

Lin Xuanji nodded her head, promising Jun Mosheng.

Lu Jinwen clenched his fists. He was too late.

Old Madam Lu was standing by the side and watching this scene. She gave a sigh. Jinwen and Xuanji had already come to this point today. On the other side, Lu Fan did not even look at his own elder brother. His brother was too pitiful!

At this moment, Jun Xiwan alighted from the wolf’s back and knelt beside Jun Mosheng. Tears stained her face and she cried out as she sobbed, “Uncle!”

Jun Mosheng’s eyes were starting to daze out. He held Jun Xiwan’s hand and wanted to speak but he could not do so. He could only grasp Jun Xiwan’s hand tightly.

Soon after, when Jun Xiwan’s country was destroyed and she encountered deep trouble, she would always feel the love Uncle transmitted to her when he was grasping her hand.

Jun Xiwan nodded her head. “Uncle, Xiwan understands what you’re trying to say. Xiwan swears to you that as long as I’m around, I will protect the peace of Country Z on behalf of Uncle.”

Good. That was good.

Jun Mosheng curved his lips in content. He lay in Lin Xuanji’s arms and gradually closed his eyes.

Jun Mosheng passed on.

Lin Xuanji and Jun Xiwan broke down, sobbing uncontrollably in grief.

…

After witnessing this scene, Old Master Lin wanted to wheel himself away on his wheelchair. At this moment, a small plane stopped and the wheelchair moved into the cabin. Old Master Lin closed the door.

Just then, he heard someone saying, “You still want to leave after killing my Uncle? I want your life!”

Old Master Lin raised his eyes. Jun Xiwan’s eyes looked even brighter and more enchanting after her tears. She got up, flipped herself over, jumped onto the wolf king, chasing after him.

Old Master Lin’s expression changed. “Set off now!”

“Yes sir.”

The plane started to rise towards the sky.

Everyone witnessed the scene of Jun Xiwan riding on the wolf and pursuing him!
