Chapter 220 - Youre all drenched in sweat. (1/2)

Ji Cheng didn't say anything and walked towards the entrance of the palace hall.

When he came outside he saw Wen Ru holding onto Zhao Ming's hands.

He froze in his steps as his expressions faltered to see them together.

Zhao Ming who reached the platform with the help of Wen Ru was going to thank him when she heard the sound of footsteps coming towards them.

She looked up and saw Ji Cheng coming towards them with Xiao Li behind him. She figured out that something was fishy seeing the smirk on her face.

She didn't panic instead she politely retrieved her hand from Wen Ru's hands and turned to look at Ji Cheng.

For a minute even Wen Ru also got panicked because this situation could be easily misunderstood but when he looked at Zhao Ming who was rather calm he didn't say anything.

Ji Cheng didn't said anything and was waiting for her to speak.

But when she opened her mouth to speak, everyone was stunned to see her extremely calm face, ” Your highness.” Zhao Ming greeted him with a slight bow and a pleasant smile on her face.

She wasn't bothered because Ji Cheng saw her holding Wen Ru's hand and she wasn't doing anything wrong so why would she worry.

She was just holding onto his hand for support. That's it.

She was waiting for Ji Cheng to say anything useless so that she can at least figure out what kind of person he was and how should she treat him from now on.

Because she doesn't have many memories of Zhao Ming and since the day she came back he was always nice to her so she can't figure out what kind of person he was.

Ji Cheng remained quiet and didn't even reply to Zhao Ming's greetings. His face remained cold and aloof as he kept staring at Zhao Ming and trying to figure out her thoughts.

In the case of Ah Leng, he didn't believe her and said so many things but now he wanted for her to say something. He will believe everything he will tell her but he just wants her to speak.

But when he saw that she has no intention to explain anything his expressions fell.

Wen Ru noticed the tension between the two and wanted to say something when he heard Xiao Li's voice, ” Aiya, sister what were you doing earlier? How could you hold onto Master Wen's hands like this? You know that it is immoral for a married woman to hold onto another man's hands.” she said with a troubled expression.

She said in a high voice and her words seem like that she was not only holding his hands but was doing something immoral.

Zhao Ming raised her brows in frustration and wanted to strangle this Xiao Li on the spot.

She was being too nice to let this Xiao Li go but this time she came herself to take trouble with her.

Ji Cheng's expressions also darkened when he heard Xiao li's words. Her ambitious words could bring Zhao Ming and Wen Ru in trouble.

Wen Ru also turned his attention to Xiao Li and frowned hearing her coarse words.

Zhao Ming's face turned cold like a frost as she stared at Xiao Li. If she could she would have killed her right away.

Seeing the shocked and naive expressions on Xiao Li's face, Zhao Ming chuckled.

Suddenly everyone's attention shifted on her when they heard her light chuckle.

They didn't expect her to chuckle in this situation.

Wen Ru became curious because he wanted to see how Zhao Ming will handle this situation.

Zhao Ming folded her hands around her chest domineeringly and said, ” Consort Xiao Li, what words are you spouting? What do you mean by immoral? Are you implying that there is something immoral between Brother Wen who is the nephew of Empress Dowager and the Empress of the Ji Dynasty?”
