Chapter 78 - Awkward. (2/2)

Ming looked at him in confusion and thought, ' Eh, this is not the Ji Cheng. Is it? Because according to Zhao Ming, he was a cold-hearted man but here, he was looking at me those beautiful eyes with gentleness. Oh, wait. Did I just say, beautiful? But on the second thought, why this guy's eyelashes are bigger than me. He didn't get, eye job, does he?'

Wait, that's not the point here. The thing is, why he was behaving, out of the character. Is he trying to test me? She thought to herself. She just arrived in this world and cannot just believe, whatever she sees. She has seen so many period dramas and she knows that in the palace people are more cunning and cruel.

She cannot take action hastily.

So she hesitantly looked at him and didn't say anything.

When he saw her quiet, he felt bad. Does she not believe him? He frowned. He cannot blame her for not believing him, because it was his fault for not treating her well before.

Then he suddenly recalled something and asked: ” Did you get checked by the doctor?”

Ming shook her head.

He touched her forehead with his palm to check her temperature, but as he stretched his hand, she immediately backed away. She just couldn't get used to his gentleness.

She looked at his hand which was in the air and then at him, she smiled awkwardly. She doesn't want to make him embarrassed but she just backed off unintentionally.

Because she never had someone to take care of her like this, so she was not used to, with all this care and love. Due to the betrayal given by her father to her mother, she was traumatic because of this incident. And can't make herself to believe someone easily. She has created a wall around her, to protect herself, which doesn't let people come near to her easily. That's why she didn't get closed to Liwei or his family. Because they are too good to be true. She always thought, if she gets too close to them, then it will give her more pain when she will part ways with Liwei.

She had lived abroad for long and after coming back, her grandfather also passed away. And while she was with Liwei, they didn't have any husband and wife relationship. So she was not used to, with all this love and care.

Seeing her actions, he also retracted his hand and kept them on his thighs and looked away to reduce the awkwardness. But this was making things more awkward.
