Chapter 198 - I am not hungry. (1/2)

Xiao Li looked at Zhao Ming and smiled slyly.

Though no one noticed her eerie smile however Zhao Ming didn't miss the change in her expression.

Xiao Li turned to look at Ji Cheng and spoke innocently, ” I am sorry your highness for barging in the room like this. I was just worried about her highness, that's why I did something unpardonable. Whatever punishment you give me I will take it willingly.” she said with her head down as she spoke diligently.

Zhao Ming raised her brows at Xiao Li's words.

Wen Xu turned to look at Xiao Li as her expressions softened.

She said in an annoyed tone looking at Zhao Ming, ” Xiao Li, why did you get any punishment? You did nothing wrong. You just worried about someone who didn't cherish your love and care.”

” Some people don't deserve to be loved and care. Hmph. You don't need to apologize for anything. We only came to their room, it's nothing that you need to apologize.”

” If someone who has to apologize then it should be the one who seduced Ji Cheng. How can you let the Emperor take care of you? Are you so important that the Emperor of the Ji Dynasty need to babysit you.” Wen Xu accusingly said to Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming was annoyed by her words, ” I never asked his highness to stay here. I asked him to go back but he didn't. Is that my fault?” she retorted back as her patience was fading.

She was not interested to drag this conversation anymore.

Wen Xu wanted to speak more but before she could say anything, Ji Cheng spoke with his face cold and expressionless.

” Enough. I don't want to hear any word regarding this matter. If you came to see Zhao Ming, then you have seen her and also created the scene you wanted to create.”

” Now please leave. It's morning and we need to do get freshen up. Feng Ju ...sent Empress Doager and Xiao Li back to their room.” he said coldly as he called Feng Ju in.

Feng Ju came in and bowed in front of Ji Cheng. He glanced at Wen Xu and Xiao Li and respectfully escorted them out.

Wen Xu gritted her teeth in anger as she was escorted by Feng Ju.

Xiao Li's eyes were bloodshot red as she kept her head down. She didn't stretch the thing further as she realized that there is no need to do this.

Ji Cheng was not even interested in their talk. He kept looking at Zhao Ming adorably.

Her blood boiled when she saw the love and concern in his eyes. Before he never looked at her like this.

But when today and the last night at banquet saw the way he looked at Zhao Ming, she felt a sting in her heart. It hurts to see the guy you always loved, looking like this at someone else.

When she married him it was because of marriage alliance and the first time they meet was in the forest when he saved her life.
