Chapter 132 - Did I hurt him? (1/2)
She looked at the few stairs, which looked like climbing down the mountain in this dress and that too without heels. The dress was quite long and will disrupt walking by getting into her steps. And there were no heels either which will help to manage the dress.
She took a deep breath and unwillingly loosened her grip on his hand.
She said apologetically, ” Ahem, I am sor..” before she could complete her words, her words were cut in between by his next action.
As she was going to pull her hand away from his arm, he held her hand and shifted it from his arm to his palms.
At this action of him, Zhao Ming was stunned. She hasn't expected that he would do something like this.
Feng Ju and Lu shi's mouth were kept open. They were shocked to see his Highness like this.
As Ji Cheng held her hand in his, one can see a slight smile on his face. But he changed his expressions in a split second.
But Feng Ju and Lu shi noticed his smile and they were stunned to see him smile like this. He never smiled like this before.
To them, his smile was kind of ' eerie'.
Feng Ju and Lu shi glance at each other, when their gazes met, they immediately retracted their gazes. They felt awkward.
Whereas seeing Ji Chen's smile, Zhao Min was also shocked. She had never expected this kind of move from his side.
She thought, ' So, this iceman can also smile.' Thinking this, her lips curled upwards. And she tightened her grip on his hand too.
She looked at him and said, ” Let's go. We're getting late.” she said casually while smiling at him.
He looked at her, seeing her beautiful smile his heart skipped a beat.
He avoided eye contact with her. He thought, ' Why she is smiling like this? She never smiled like this before.'
Thinking about her smile, his cheeks blushed red. ' But ...her smile is beautiful' he can't help but smile.
Zhao Ming and he climbed down the stairs. She held on his hands tightly while climbing down as she was scared to fell.
' I should have altered the length of this dress too. AHH, it's too long. Why there are no heels?' she felt annoyed thinking about this.
As she held tightly on his hands, he felt his throat going dry. After their marriage night, they never have any kind of skinship.
It felt kind of awkward holding hands after so long. And moreover, their wedding night was not something desirable too.
He was drugged by his mother and does not remember the events of that night clearly. He felt bad for ruining their special night like this, and his aloof attitude does not allow him to apologize to her.
He sighed as he remembered about their first night.
He looked at Zhao Ming and seeing her carefully holding her dress, he smiled.
At the last step of the stairs, she lost her balance and almost fell. But he immediately held her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
As he held her waist immediately, he pulls her towards him to make the balance. But she fell into his arms.
Her face was on his chest. As he held her, she sighed in relief. She was glad that she didn't fall, otherwise, it would be a big embarrassment.
