Chapter 6 - ROSE PINK LIPS (2/2)

Unconsciously, his fingers slide from her forehead to her nose and it landed on her lips.

'Her lips were like pink roses, soft and plump' '. The thought came to his mind that what would it feel if he kissed her, what will it taste like? As he was thinking while stroking her lips, she suddenly opened her eyes and caught his hands.

He was caught off guard and to hide his awkwardness he said, ” why are you still sleeping? It's evening and you're still sleeping. Everyone is waiting for you downstairs. Are you some princess to make everyone wait on you. So lazy..”

She was stunned, and as she just woke up, she can't comprehend his words and actions and technically speaking she is not 'Princess' but 'Empress', though unwanted but still.

In the hierarchy, she is far above from him and this mere commoner has guts to talk to 'Empress' like this.

Before she could say anything, he turned and went out of the room and slammed the door shut.

While going downstairs, he mumbled to himself, 'her craziness is affecting me. I am started getting hallucinations. I must be crazy to think she is beautiful and her lips are kissable. But what has those pink lips has done. She is crazy but the lips were innocent.'

And at this point, he suddenly regained his composure and said to himself, ” I must go to the psychiatrist, her craziness is affecting me. Definitely.”

...

In the room, Xie Ming stared at the door, which was slammed to shut just now. She recalled his actions while sleeping she felt that someone was caressing her face.

She felt ticklish, that's why she opened her eyes. But upon opening her eyes, she saw him staring at her in a daze and his finger was on her lips.

Thinking about it, she felt her cheeks burning. She touched them to reduce the heat from her cheeks.

She then shook her head to remove all the impure thoughts from her mind.

' I should remain focused. I am Zhao Ming, not XIe Ming. I should behave myself. I am the Empress.' she told herself.
