Chapter 198 - I Am Not Hungry.
Xiao Li looked at Zhao Ming and smiled slyly.
Though no one noticed her eerie smile however Zhao Ming didn't miss the change in her expression.
Xiao Li turned to look at Ji Cheng and spoke innocently, " I am sorry your highness for barging in the room like this. I was just worried about her highness, that's why I did sothing unpardonable. Whatever punishnt you give I will take it willingly." she said with her head down as she spoke diligently.
Zhao Ming raised her brows at Xiao Li's words.
Wen Xu turned to look at Xiao Li as her expressions softened.
She said in an annoyed tone looking at Zhao Ming, " Xiao Li, why did you get any punishnt? You did nothing wrong. You just worried about soone who didn't cherish your love and care."
" So people don't deserve to be loved and care. Hmph. You don't need to apologize for anything. We only ca to their room, it's nothing that you need to apologize."
" If soone who has to apologize then it should be the one who seduced Ji Cheng. How can you let the Emperor take care of you? Are you so important that the Emperor of the Ji Dynasty need to babysit you." Wen Xu accusingly said to Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming was annoyed by her words, " I never asked his highness to stay here. I asked him to go back but he didn't. Is that my fault?" she retorted back as her patience was fading.
She was not interested to drag this conversation anymore.
Wen Xu wanted to speak more but before she could say anything, Ji Cheng spoke with his face cold and expressionless.
" Enough. I don't want to hear any word regarding this matter. If you ca to see Zhao Ming, then you have seen her and also created the scene you wanted to create."
" Now please leave. It's morning and we need to do get freshen up. Feng Ju ...sent Empress Doager and Xiao Li back to their room." he said coldly as he called Feng Ju in.
Feng Ju ca in and bowed in front of Ji Cheng. He glanced at Wen Xu and Xiao Li and respectfully escorted them out.
Wen Xu gritted her teeth in anger as she was escorted by Feng Ju.
Xiao Li's eyes were bloodshot red as she kept her head down. She didn't stretch the thing further as she realized that there is no need to do this.
Ji Cheng was not even interested in their talk. He kept looking at Zhao Ming adorably.
Her blood boiled when she saw the love and concern in his eyes. Before he never looked at her like this.
But when today and the last night at banquet saw the way he looked at Zhao Ming, she felt a sting in her heart. It hurts to see the guy you always loved, looking like this at soone else.
When she married him it was because of marriage alliance and the first ti they et was in the forest when he saved her life.
She was on her way to the market accompanied by her maids and so guards when suddenly so goons attacked her maids and guards. Her carriage almost fell off the cliff but Ji Cheng appeared and saved her from falling.
He saved her and that was the mont when Xiao Li fell in love with him.
His eyes were dark and mysterious which attracted her. She couldn't help but think about him when she returned to her palace.
Later, she got to know that he was the Emperor of the Ji Dynasty and was there for a eting with her father regarding the alliance.
Her father fixated her marriage to Ji Cheng in an alliance and loyalty to Ji Dynasty.
She was happy to get married to the guy she fell in love at first sight but...it seems that only she was in love in their marriage.
She sighed as she went to her room leaving the worried We Xu behind. She doesn't want to talk to anyone at this mont.
Wen Xu worried looked at her. But couldn't stop her going in. She sighed as she went to her chamber.
….
After Wen Xu and Xiao Li left the room, the temperature rose in the room as Zhao Ming shifted her gaze to Ji Cheng.
Between all this ss, she forgot how she woke up in the morning.
She rembered that she was almost laying over him and her head was snuggling in his neck when she woke up.
Just thinking of it, made her cheeks blush red in embarrassnt.
She knows that she moved a lot while sleeping that's why she wanted to stay awake for the whole night but sohow she fell asleep which caused this ss.
Ji Cheng also shifted his gaze to her and smiled at her, " Don't think about them much. Go and freshen up and let's have breakfast. You must be hungry." he said with the tenderness in his eyes.
Zhao Ming wanted to talk about what happened in the night but startled by his question, she reflexively said, " No. I am not hungry." she was too embarrassed to eat with him.
But as the words left her mouth, her stomach growled loudly. It was loud enough for Ji Cheng to know her honest feelings.
He called Lu shi in and asks her, " Help your Miss to freshen up and then prepare a breakfast for both of us. We will have it in the garden. And rember to make the breakfast nourishing and less spicy. She can't eat heavy food now." he instructs Lu shi as she silently nodded at Ji Cheng.
She doesn't know whether to laugh or cry at Xiao Li's fortune.
' But wait a sec. I am in no position to worry about others. I already have so many issues in my hand. How can I worry about others.' she thought as she looked at Ji Cheng speaking to Lu shi.
