Chapter 218 - At least he has manners. (1/2)

In the end, Xiao Li tagged along with Wen Ru and Zhao Ming inside the palace.

Xiao Li tried to talk to Wen Ru but he ignored her existence and kept glancing at Zhao Ming.

Xiao Li's face darkened when she saw the gaze in Wen Ru's eyes when he was glancing at Zhao Ming while walking.

Before Xiao Li used to be popular among all Ji Cheng's friends and cousins and Zhao Ming was the nonexistent one.

Even though at that time, Wen Ru didn't talk much to her but still he never ignored her like this. But today he was not even looking at her and only giving cold answers to her questions.

Xiao Li didn't like how he was giving all the attention to Zhao Ming.

She wanted to be everyone's favorite and loves when people give her attention but now her attention has been snatched by Zhao Ming.

Xiao Li clenched her fists as he took a deep breath to maintain her composure.

When they climbed the stairs to reach the platform of the platform, Xiao Li elegantly picked up her gown a little and easily and slowly climbed over.

Wen Ru who was walking behind because he wanted to maintain a distance from Xiao Li and was also looking at Zhao Ming's back who was walking clumsily and many times her steps got tangled with her gown.

Lu shi was not there because Zhao Ming has sent her to get something from her room, so there was not even Lu shi to help her walk in this situation.

Xiao Li elegantly walked over the stairs to reach the platform because she was used to it and she wanted to meet Ji Cheng early and wanted to give him her best impression.

She didn't wait for Zhao Ming and Wen Ru because she knows that they don't want her to attend their gathering.

So she decided to walk faster so that she will meet Ji Cheng first and tell him how Zhao Ming and Wen Ru was acting so friendly.

Xiao Li entered the palace without waiting for them while Zhao Ming stood on her place and was looking at the stairs like they were not stairs but a cliff.

When she came for the banquet last night, that time, Ji Cheng helped her to climb up but now she was alone.

Even Lu shi was not even there.

The gown was very long and kept tangle in her footsteps. She can climb up if she holds it up and climbs over but without heels, she can't walk elegantly while holding onto her dress.

She will look more weird and clumsy by walking in this gown while holding it tightly.

Unlike Xiao Li, she was not trained to walk like this. She was just used to walk in heels all day but it becomes hard for her to walk while wearing the traditional dress and that too without heels.

She sighed when she looked up and noticed that though there were not many stairs but they were enough for her to make a fool of herself in front of everyone.

Wen Ru who was walking behind her stopped in his steps and was looking at her with amusement.
