Chapter 328 - Can You Move To This Side?
Zhao Ming was speechless seeing how Xiao Li was so eager and afraid that she might take her credit.
She scoffed and turned her head away because she was not interested in taking her credit. She folded her hands by her chest and snickered seeing her enthusiasm.
Moreover, it's not like she did everything herself. Everything is done by the servants.
She just asked them to do the work properly and don't slack off.
' Is that count as doing everything? She only knows how to take credit for good things and for things which go wrong, she puts all the bla on soone else.'
Ji Cheng looked at Xiao Li and pursed his lips. He didn't say anything and just stood there by Zhao Ming's side.
It was embarrassing that Xiao Li was behaving but he didn't say anything to her.
Zhao Ming looked at Wen Ru as she smiled lightly and said, " Consort, Xiao Li is right. She is the one who arranged all of this. This kind of arrangent is not my style." she said with a smile on her face.
Hearing her words, Xiao Li's smile disappeared as she looked at Zhao Ming with displeasure.
' How can she say sothing like this? Is she saying that her arrangent is not good?'
Wen Ru looked at Zhao Ming with an amused expression and chuckled lightly.
He never expected this kind of response from her.
She is not like the way he has expected her to be. In the past, she never said sothing so savage in response to Xiao Li's stubborn and sarcastic remarks.
Whereas Ji Cheng turned to look at Zhao Ming from the sides as his lips curled upwards.
He could see her smiling expression like she said nothing was much more amusing.
…
Xiao Li glared at Zhao Ming and was cursing her inwardly. She could see the smile on Ji Cheng and Wen Ru's face.
She also heard Wen Ru chuckling when he heard Zhao Ming's words.
" Sister, what do you an by this? Are you saying that you didn't like my arrangents? Are you saying that you could have done better than this?" Xiao Li tried to be as polite as possible.
. She doesn't want Ji Cheng to see her angry side and does not want him to think that she is a crude woman who would get upset over this small thing.
Zhao Ming looked at Xiao Li mildly and blinked her eyes innocently.
" I didn't an anything like this. I was just saying that it was you who did all the work. I was just explaining Brother Wen that it was your work, because it's not my style, ' aning it has not been done by .'"
" How can both of our styles be the sa? If different people are doing the work then their style will be different as well. That's what I am trying to say. "
" I hope you didn't take these words otherwise," she said with a casual smile on her face.
Wen Ru pursed his lips as he was trying to hide his low chuckle.
The way he said her words by coating them into sugar was amazing. He never expected that she would make a fool of Xiao Li by twisting her words.
Xiao Li pursed her lips when she saw how Zhao Ming was trying to be smart in the presence of Wen Ru and Ji Cheng.
She bit her lower lip and forced her to say, " It's okay. I didn't take your words otherwise."
After this little exchange, Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming wanted to sit down.
Ji Cheng walked towards Xiao Li's side and wanted to sit there with Zhao Ming because he does not want Zhao Ming to sit near Wen Ru.
When Ji Cheng walked towards Xiao Li, Xiao Li was gladdened thinking that he ca to sit beside her.
But in truth, he wanted to separate Zhao Ming from Wen Ru.
Xiao Li smiled shyly and gave Zhao Ming a smug look saying that' See. He couldn't resist my charm, that's why he ca to leaving you alone.'
Zhao Ming saw Xiao Li's gaze and felt that she was childish.
She couldn't understand what she was trying to say. ' why the hell she was raising her brows continuously?'
However, Zhao Ming was not happy the way Ji Cheng went to sit beside Xiao Li.
Though there was still another spare cushion beside Ji Cheng. There were three cushions placed on the other side.
And if she also went there, Ji Cheng will be sitting between Xiao Li and her.
She didn't like this arrangent. This was the sa arrangent at the banquet as well.
When Ji Cheng went to another side, Zhao Ming didn't follow him and saw the spare cushion beside Wen Ru and sat down.
Ji Cheng who was patting Zhao Ming's cushion for her gesturing her to sit there, but she ignored him and sat beside Wen Ru.
This startled Wen Ru because she suddenly said there and he was not expecting it at all.
She was being too willful by ignoring Ji Cheng like this.
" Zhao Ming, co and sit here." Ji Cheng's expressions darkened seeing her sitting beside Wen Ru.
He couldn't believe that she sat beside Wen Ru and ignored him outrightly.
Zhao Ming glanced at him and showed him his polite smile and said, " Your highness, it's better that I sit here. Because you're sitting with Consort Xiao Li and if I also joined you there, then that side will beco crowded and here brother Wen Ru has to sit alone."
" It's not right. We have invited him for dinner and if we make him sit alone, it will be rude. That's not a good thing to do. " she pursed her lips and forced a smile on her face.
' Hah. If you can sit with Xiao Li then what' s wrong with sitting with Wen Ru? '
Ji Cheng pursed his lips tightly as he stared at Zhao Ming.
His temper was mounting as he didn't like this situation. She was ignoring his words in front of Wen Ru and went to sit beside him. Even he is his brother, but he could sense the Wen Ru's different attitude towards Zhao Ming.
" Zhao Ming, it's not proper for us to sit separately. You're my Empress. Your seat is beside ." Ji Cheng said in a low plain voice. He was trying to reason with her without getting angry.
He tried hard to control his temper and say his words in a low voice as possible.
Zhao Ming could feel that he didn't like the way she sat beside Wen Ru.
She looked down and pondered over the situation. Ji Cheng saw her thinking over sothing and didn't say anything.
" Your highness, if Sister wants to sit beside brother Wen Ru, then let it be. She wanted to talk separately with brother Wen, that's why she sat there. You should not mind her and let her sit there." Xiao Li tried to convince Ji Cheng so that Zhao Ming will not co to her side
Xiao Li's words were provoking rather than convincing. This made Ji Cheng's brows frown.
However, before she could continue, Zhao Ming stood up and walked to their side.
But she didn't sit beside Ji Cheng's right, instead, she said to him," Your highness, then can you move to this side? I wanted to talk to Consort Xiao Li about sothing."
Ji Cheng was surprised when she suddenly ca and asked him to move to the side.
His lips curled up in a smile and didn't say anything and followed her instructions. He was glad to move away.
Zhao Ming sat at Ji Cheng's spot. This way, she was sitting in the middle with Xiao Li on her left and Ji Cheng on her right.
Xiao Li stared at Zhao Ming with a shocked expression. She couldn't believe that Zhao Ming asked Ji Cheng to shift away.
Now she was sitting away from Ji Cheng. She glared at Zhao Ming for her behavior and wanted to punch her but controlled her temper.
' She is such a bitch!' Xiao Li cursed Zhao Ming inwardly. She didn't like the way she moved Ji Cheng away from her.
