Chapter 217 - She is really shameless. (2/2)
He wanted to know more about her so he asked her to not use the formalities and address each other casually.
Xiao Li turned to look at Wen Ru and glared at him. His behavior was different from the way he behaves with her.
Zhao Ming was surprised by Wen Ru's friendly behavior and coughed lightly.
She wanted to deny this but when she saw Xiao Li's pale face, her lips curled up in a smirk.
She turned to Wen Ru and said in a soft tone, ” Yes. Brother. You can also call me Zhao Ming only when we are not in public. You don't need to use these titles to call me.” she said with a smile.
At first, she doesn't want to call him brother but when she saw Xiao Li's face, she thought it would be a good idea to annoy her so she did as he asked him.
An ear to ear smile spread on Wen Ru's face as he looked at Zhao Ming and said, ” I won't use formalities then...Zhao Ming.” he said in a low voice.
Zhao Ming nodded as she smiled.
Beside her, Xiao Li was burning in anger seeing their interaction.
” Master Wen, you should go inside. His highness must be waiting for you. He must have gotten the news of your arrival so you shouldn't make him wait.” Xiao Li turned to look at Wen Ru and said while gritting her teeth.
She was angered by the way he ignored her that's why she called him Master Wen, not brother.
Wen Ru looked at Xiao Li and didn't say anything to her.
” Zhao Ming, you should come inside with me. Ji Cheng would not mind if you come with me inside. We can have tea and chat around.” he invited her to inside.
Ji Cheng knows that Wen Ru was coming, so he was waiting for him inside the study which is in the palace hall.
Emperor's chamber and study were all in the building of Palace Hall. It is mainly used as the Palace hall where the emperor meets with people and held his meetings.
His chamber and study were also inside so that he can reach the palace hall on time.
Xiao Li's mouth kept open when she saw him inviting Zhao Ming inside for a tea.
Zhao ming was surprised when he asked her to come in and have a tea.
She wanted to say no to him but stopped thinking that she does not have anything to do. She contemplated for a minute and decided that she would go in and just roam around.
She looked at him and nodded, ” Thank You for inviting me.” she said with a smile.
Wen Ru also smiled and said, ” It's nothing. It would be better if you could join us.”
Xiao Li frowned when she saw that Wen Ru has no intention to invite her over nor Zhao Ming.
She tightly clenched her hand into a fist and said with a friendly tone, ” Yes. Let's go in together. It would be fun to chat and have tea together.”
Wen Ru: ” -_- ”
Zhao Ming: ” -_- ”
Both Zhao Ming and Wen Ru was amused to see the shameless attitude of Xiao Li.
Zhao Ming snickered in her heart, ' She is really shameless. She does not even feel embarrassed by saying these words herself.'
