Chapter 176 - I did not come naked outside. (1/2)

Zhao Ming went into the blanket after changing. She thought that by now Ji Cheng must've left.

She closed her eyes and tries to sleep but for some reason, she couldn't sleep.

She changes sides and after a few minutes later when she couldn't sleep, she sat up on the bed and sighed heavily.

She looked towards the door and decided to check outside.

' He must've left by now right? Because it does not make sense for me to wait outside. I am doing this because I worry about him or something.'

' I am just doing it as an act of humanity towards another human. Yes. It's because I am a magnanimous person, I couldn't help but worry about the other person. '

She sheepishly walked towards the door, trying to convince herself inwardly.

When she reached the door, she carefully opened it and peeked outside from the small gap between the door.

She rolled her eyes in amusement when she saw Ji Cheng standing there.

She was surprised because she never expected that he will wait for her outside for so long.

She has assumed that he must have left by now, because it doesn't make sense that he, the Emperor of Ji Cheng Dynasty would wait for her outside her room.

She felt bad seeing her standing outside for long. And he didn't even knock on the door or something.

If he had done that he wouldn't have to wait for so long.

Suddenly Ji Cheng whose back was facing her, turned around and saw her peeking out and their eyes met.

She was startled for a moment.

She suddenly opened the door to face him bravely. She doesn't want to hide her embarrassment by hiding behind the door or acting coy.

That's not her style. So she faced him bravely.

And she was just being worried about him so there is nothing to be embarrassed about it.

Though she can't hide the fact that she felt some tingling in her heart when she saw him waiting so diligently.

....

Ji Cheng was startled when she suddenly pulled open the door.

His eyes darkened as she stepped out of her room in the middle of the night in her.. Nightdress?

Though the nightdress was a set of white-colored cotton pajamas but it is still not dignified enough to come outside wearing this.

There are other men and guards, so how could he bear to let them see her in her nightdress?

His eyes darkened. The atmosphere around him became chilly and he turned his head and glared at the guards and Feng Ju.

They immediately understood his meaning and turned their backs at Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming: ” - _-”

She has no idea why they were behaving like this. For her, this dress was too conservative and 'dignified ' enough to come outside.

In the 21st century, she used to wear shorts and short dresses and here she has to wear a full sleeve pajama set.

But they are behaving like she was standing naked in front of them.

' These people are so weird.'

Ji Cheng looked at her, his eyes faltered a bit seeing her in her pajamas. She was even looking beautiful and charming in these pajamas as well.

He could see her arms as she had pulled her sleeves over and her hair was folded in a bun making her neckline look beautiful and alluring.

She hasn't tied the upper ribbon of her pajama top, which made her collarbone into his sight.

He could see her white and beautiful collarbone.

His eyes darkened at the thought that other people also witnessed her looking like this.

He immediately held her wrist and pulled her inside the room and shutting the door behind him.

This action of him caught her off guard.
