Chapter 196 - Fake tears. (2/2)

Because he knows that Zhao Ming's words were not as simple as it seems. He squinted his eyes as he amusingly looked at her.

Zhao Ming innocently blinked her eyes as she asked Wen Xu, ” What? I am not changing the topic.”

” Didn't you came here because you wanted to know about my health. I am fine now. Last night at the banquet, I was quite exhausted and needed rest so I came back early. And eventually fainted but after resting overnight, I am absolutely fine now.” she looked at Xiao Li as she spoke.

Xiao Li looked at Zhao Ming in frustration.

She didn't come to know about her health but she wanted to show her real place so that she won't dare to go near to Ji Cheng again.

But why does it seems that things were not going her way?

Zhao Ming smiled seeing the flustered expressions of Xiao Li as she continued, ” Mother you don't need to worry about my health at all.”

” His highness was here with me all night. He didn't go back to his chamber because he wanted to stay with me to take care of me. I told him that it's fine but...he denied to go back and insisted on staying here.” she said with her subtle eyes as she turned to look at Ji Cheng lovingly.

Ji Cheng was surprised to see the gentle look in her eyes.

Xiao Li's blood boiled as she heard Zhao Ming's words.

Zhao Ming was laughing inwardly as she saw the tensed and annoyed expressions of Xiao Li.

' Haha. I am loving it. Now let me show you bi*ch how to annoy other people.' Zhao Ming snickered inwardly.

Wen Xu looked at Zhao Ming as her expressions stiffened. She doesn't like her and doesn't want Ji Cheng to spend time with her.

She wanted the successor of the Ji dynasty to be born by Xiao Li so that she could peacefully give the position of Empress Dowager in safe hands.

She annoyedly looked at Zhao Ming and spoke, ” What rubbish are you talking about? Did I ask anything about your health? I don't care if you die or not. ” she said irritatingly.

Zhao Ming smiled and said, ” But mother, didn't you both came in the early morning because you were worried about my health? You guys didn't even bother to knock or ask for permission before entering into the room.” she said innocently.

” What was all this for? If not for my health then why did you come this early here? ” she asked her as she narrowed her eyes.

Wen Xu became silent when she heard her words.

They indeed had told that they came here to ask about her health but mistakenly she has spoken her true feelings towards Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming didn't give her time to make excuses and spoke, ” Mother. I thought you came here because you were worried about you. But I never expected that you don't even care if I die or not.” she said with a frown on her face.

She looked like she will cry any minute. Her eyes were welled up as her voice trembled.

' Hah. Do you think only you know how to fake tears?' she sneered inwardly.

' But why the hell they are not felling? Aish, I have stared at their faces for so long without even blinking just to gather tears in my eyes but why aren't they falling?' she felt helpless when her tears stuck in her eyes.
