Evil CEO's Favorites

However, the temperature of his fingers was even colder than she had expected.    

    

Lu Xiaorong was slightly taken aback before she suddenly asked, "In a while, where are you taking me?"    

    

Jun Zichen continued to carefully wipe off the smudges at the corner of her lips. Only when the corner of her lips had been cleaned did he softly say, "To Jun Family's ancestral hall."    

    

Ancestral Hall? Lu Xiaorong was stunned. Although she watched those rich TV dramas and sometimes saw rich families with their own family tree and ancestral halls, she didn't understand where he was taking her today. Was the real meaning of the Predestine related to the Ancestral Temple?    

    

However, Jun Zichen didn't have the intention to continue talking. Lu Xiaorong didn't pursue the topic, but ate her breakfast and followed Jun Zichen to the car.    

    

In any case, once he reached the ancestral hall, he should be able to understand everything.    

    

The car drove on smoothly. Lu Xiaorong glanced at Jun Zichen. At this moment, his expression was serious as if he was on a business trip. They weren't as relaxed as they usually were.    

    

He … Were they also "worrying" about the ancestral hall? Lu Xiaorong thought for a moment, and then took the initiative to break the silence, "After a while, no matter what meaning the Predestine had, my feelings for you will not change, so you don't have to worry about anything."    

    

His body froze, and he glared at her with his phoenix eyes. When the car stopped in front of the red light at the intersection, he turned to look at her and said, "Really?"    

    

"Of course." She even nodded her head vigorously, indicating that what she said was definitely from the bottom of her heart.    

    

His face was a little better than it had been before. He lifted his hand from the steering wheel and gently touched her cheek with the back of his hand. "I hope you can really do this today."    

    

"You don't believe me?" Her eyes widened.    

    

"I do." However … He believed that what she said now was true. However, he wasn't sure. Once she found out the truth, she could really not change.    

    

Lu Xiaorong only felt that when Jun Zichen said this, there was an indescribable strangeness in his tone.    

    

The carriage drove for about half an hour before they arrived at Jun Family's ancestral hall. Lu Xiaorong was surprised to see such an ancestral hall in a city surrounded by greenery. Moreover, rather than calling this place an ancestral hall, it would be more accurate to call it an ancient castle.    

    

Of course, it was not an ancient castle like the one from abroad, but a completely ancient Chinese palace-style castle. There's a guard here. When Lu Xiaorong followed Jun Zichen out of the car, she realized that the buildings here weren't new. They were made of a lot of stone and looked like the stone of the ancient ruins. There were even some places where old and new signs of repairs could be seen.    

    

"When was this ancestral hall built?" Lu Xiaorong asked curiously.    

    

"500 years ago, I guess. But it has been refurbished quite a few times. It's only half its original size now." Jun Zichen answered.    

    

500 years?! Lu Xiaorong was flabbergasted. She felt that this building should be quite old, but she never expected it to have such a long history. This... It could be said to be an ancient monument.    

    

"Then what is the previous self of this ancestral hall?" In her opinion, she only thought that this building was used as an ancestral hall by the Jun Family, but she didn't expect that the answer Jun Zichen gave her was — —    

    

"From the very beginning, this place has been used as the ancestral hall for Jun Family."    

    

"The Jun Family already has a history of 500 years?" She was surprised to find that 500 years was even longer than many dynasties in the history of the Sky Empire.    

    

"No, the history of Jun Family is far more than five hundred years." can go back longer, farther...    

    

However, this ancient history brought about even more despair to the Jun's. This bloodline's curse seemed to be endless. Perhaps, only if Jun Family were to completely disappear, would this curse stop one day.    

    

Jun Zichen brought Lu Xiaorong to the main hall of the ancestral hall, where many memorial tablets were placed.    

    

When Lu Xiaorong saw the names on the tablets, the majority of them were Monarch's surnames, so these tablets should be the surnames of Jun Family's ancestors. However, what made her curious was that next to a very small portion of the tablet, there was another tablet. The name on the tablet was not the one surnamed Jun.    

    

"Why are there some tablets next to these tablets?" Lu Xiaorong asked curiously.    

    

"Those tablets are Predestine s of these Jun's s." Jun Zichen replied. His voice seemed especially cold in the spacious hall.    

    

Is it a tablet for the Predestine?! Lu Xiaorong was startled. "Then why are there still so many? Don't tell me those people don't have Predestine s? " After all, the ratio between the two was too huge. Amongst so many tablets, there were only 7 or 8% of them that had Predestine tablets on the side.    

    

"Yes, they basically did not find the Predestine, and …" Jun Zichen's voice paused for a moment, then he looked at Lu Xiaorong and said, "A Jun's that was abandoned by its own Predestine." Therefore, these tablets were all by themselves.    

    

It was unfortunate that he was unable to find the Jun's, but finding one might not necessarily mean that he would be happy.    

    

In the history of the Jun Family, there had been a few Jun's who had found her. However, they had not lived their entire lives with her, perhaps because she did not fall in love with them, or perhaps because she hated them because of their love … In the end, they were all abandoned by the Predestine.    

    

At this moment, the familiar pair of phoenix eyes revealed a gaze that seemed to be clouded by a layer of mist, causing her to be slightly stunned.    

    

"Abandoned by the Predestine?" she murmured.    

    

"Right." He pointed to a tablet on the left behind her, "Jun Wuliang died when he was only twenty-seven. He was once a general and spent most of his life on the battlefield. When he was twenty-five, he found the Predestine, but at that time, his Predestine had already wedded and had a pair of children. So he killed Predestine's husband and children just for the sake of getting the Predestine. Unfortunately, in the end, he was still unable to get hold of Predestine's heart. After getting pregnant with his child, Predestine drank the hidden poison in front of him, and he committed suicide in front of Predestine. "    

    

Jun Zichen's tone of speech was light, like a very smooth narration. However, Lu Xiaorong felt a sense of shock when she heard it.    

    

Originally, in front of her, it was just an ordinary ranking, but after his explanation, this tablet became lively in her eyes.    

    

Such a man was decisive in killing, yet he had used the wrong way to fall in love with a person, which eventually led to the end of the tragedy.
