Chapter 232 - Dont forget that. (2/2)

' What is so interesting about the fool who is looking at the normal things with such interest and amusement?' she snorted and said in a light voice,

” Master Wen, why are you standing here? Let's go in,” she said while gritting her teeth.

She was annoyed by how they are giving all attention to Zhao Ming who does not deserve all this.

Wen Ru came out of his trance when he heard Xiao Li's words and cleared his throat when he realized that he was staring at Zhao Ming intently.

He did not say anything and went towards the table in the middle of the room with Ji Cheng and sat on the chair on Ji Cheng's left with waiting for Xiao Li.

Ji Cheng sat in the middle while Wen Ru sat on the chair on its left.

Xiao Li's eyes shone when she saw that Ji Cheng's right side was empty and Zhao Ming was still strolling around.

She hurriedly walked to the table while keeping her manners in mind and was about to sit on the chair on his right when she heard Ji Cheng's cold words.

” Xiao Li, what are you doing?” she was about to sit on the chair when she froze in the air with her body bend and half squatted to sit down.

It was an awkward position in which she stopped hearing his cold and distant words.

She looked at Wen Ru and saw a mocking smile on his face.

She immediately stood up straight and fixed her posture and turned to look at Ji Cheng with her gentle smile and asked, ” Is there anything wrong, his highness?”

Ji Cheng raised his brows when he heard her question.

He looked at her coldly and said, ” This seat is for Zhao Ming. Xiao Li, don't you know that the seat beside the Emperor is always for the Empress.”

” How could you dare to sit here. Though we're not in any public affair but it is still her position. You know that you cannot sit on the Empress's seat. Don't forget that. ”

Xiao Li's face turned crimson red from embarrassment. She was told off by Ji Cheng just because she wanted to sit beside him?

She glared at Zhao Ming who was busy adoring the study.

Wen Xu never treated her this way and always give her the seat where Zhao Ming sits when Ji Cheng was not in the country.

She always treated her like an Empress and Zhao Ming like a mere concubine with lower status.

She never thought and treated Zhao Ming as the Empress when they were alone and whenever Ji Cheng was not in the country.

Because at that time all the power and responsibilities come into her hands as she was the Empress Dowager and always behaves arrogantly and rudely to Zhao Ming.

Now when Ji Cheng scolded Xiao Li who was trying to sit on the seat of the Empress, her blood boiled as her ears turned red from anger.

She tightly clenched her dress and silently nodded and sat on the chair next to Wen Ru without looking at him.

Her face was solemn and expressionless. She has become white from anger but can't show it like this.

She was digging her nails in her palm to control her anger.
