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

He was confused about why she was staring at the stairs like this. He felt amused seeing her this way.

A smile formed on his face as he walked up to her and asked, ” Anything wrong?”

Zhao Ming got startled when a firm and charming low voice she heard near her ears, she turned and saw Wen Ru's deep gaze which was looking at her interestingly and she noticed the mysterious smile on his face.

Zhao Ming calmed herself and said, ” Ah. It's nothing.” she turned her head and looked at the front.

Wen Ru didn't press on the topic further and slightly shrugged his shoulders.

' You can do it, Xie Ming. It's just a few stairs. You have even trekked the mountains than it's nothing in front of that. Fighting.' she encouraged herself with those words.

' But at that time I didn't have to look beautiful and elegant moreover I was wearing sneakers at that time. Right now I was wearing this damn long gown and these weird footwear and on top of that I have to look pretty and elegant while walking.'

'How can I do that? If  I fell and make a fool of me in front of everyone?' she pouted slightly when she wonders what will happen if she fell from the stairs.

She was contemplating if she should go up or not at that moment a hand came in front of her.

She looked down and saw a hand which came in front of her. She looked up in confusion and met with the gaze of Wen Ru.

He didn't say anything to her but signaled her with his gaze to support him while walking up, that's why he has given her his hand to hold on.

Zhao Ming smiled slightly and placed her soft white hands on his rough hands.

She slightly picked up her gown and walked up with his help.

' Hmm, at least he has manners.' she wondered in her heart.

For the banquet, she held onto Ji Cheng last time but his reaction was different from him. Here he gave her his hand.

She couldn't figure out if it is because of the cultural difference or was it Ji Cheng's low EQ?

When they reached the platform, she was about to let go of his hand when at that time she heard footsteps approaching them.

When she turned to look up she saw Ji Cheng and Xiao Li coming together towards them.

She noticed that Ji Cheng was wearing a cold and dark expression while Xiao Li was smirking behind him.

Her brows twitched as she felt a bad feeling coming from this situation.

She looked down and saw that Wen Ru was holding onto her hand and let go of his hand.

Her actions were not hurried but rather polite and slow. She didn't make a fuss out of it because she didn't do anything to be ashamed about.
