Chapter 84 - Lu family? (1/2)

Liwei looked at her and pursed his lips.

' This woman always makes him speechless.' She is not like other girls, who like to shop or like grand events, at least not now. If it was old Xie Ming, it was easier to make her happy.

But he never cared before, now the situation is different. He wants to woo her but doesn't know-how. She is talented and doesn't need his help.

He can't just help her like a damsel in distress, and after which she will fell in love with him.

And came to him, running to be with him.

He knows, that this old school tactic will not work on her, she doesn't need his help instead she is capable enough to help herself and others.

She can do everything herself. She has such a sharp and sweet tongue, that she doesn't even need to cuss at anyone, but she can make other person's blood boil with her sweet tongue.

...

He looks away from her, and casually said, ” Now I am already here, so let's eat first. It's already lunchtime, and you must be tired... after reading that many documents in such a short time.” he said while coughing awkwardly. He wants to spend time with her, but she was trying to send him away.

She looked at his back and the smile can be traced on her face. She neatly organized the documents that were scattered on the bed and kept them aside. And followed him downstairs.

When they reached downstairs, they sat at their respective chairs. As they sat, the maid served the dishes. Ming started eating as soon as the dishes served.

She was hungry, she was reading the documents since morning, and she was really tired and hungry.

She thought to herself, ' I became too lazy after I came to this body.' she sighed.

In the past, she used to work from dawn to the night, but never felt this tired. She was the Empress and needs to manage the Harem and the title of Empress seems extravagant but it isn't. No title comes without any duties.

She has to manage harem finances, resolve their fights and many more things. The most tiring thing was to resolve their conflicts because In harem all the ladies of Palace used to stay. And those used to fight, or scheme on very meager topics and it was her duty to maintain peace in the Harem.

While eating, Liwei kept glancing at her. Then he asked, ” Ming, do you remember the lady that you saved the other day?” he asked cautiously.

Ming looked up and put her chopsticks down. Then she looked at him with a confused look and said, ” Yess. I remember. But what about her?”
