Chapter 243 - Dare to repeat that? (2/2)

Suddenly, she had an urge to kick him with the same leg. He was getting more and more shameless day by day.

Her face turned crimson red with embarrassment when she heard his brazen words.

She turned her head away and said in a cold voice, ” Stop it. It's really fine now.” she wanted to be angry but rather that angry she was embarrassed and feeling shy.

She was more angry at herself because she could not deny his words. She felt good and kicked the bed in carelessness but she never expected that he would be so brazen to let those thoughts out.

Liwei looked at her and smiled mischievously seeing her red face in embarrassment. He chuckled lightly and bent down to give a peck over her bandage.

She was surprised when he kissed the wound on her leg lightly. She looked at him in disbelief.

He noticed her flustered expressions and said in a low voice, ” I won't let you hurt again. I am sorry that you had to go through all of this. It was my duty as your husband to protect you but I failed. However, I won't let this kind of incident again. I promise.” he said with sincerity and gentleness in his eyes.

Xie Ming felt touched with his words and said, ” I have already said before that it's not your fault. It's not even anyone's fault nor you neither Jin Liang. It was only that man's fault who kidnapped me.”

”Moreover, I knew that you would come to save me. I had confidence in my man that he will not let anything happen to me. Now don't talk about this anymore. It's depressing.” she waved her hand to stop him from talking.

Liwei didn't say anything and simply smiled when he heard her words, ' My Man'. His lips curved up in a subtle smile while his eyes were glistening with happiness.

After they had their late lunch, he gave Xie Ming her medicine and made her lay on the bed while he sat on the couch with his laptop on his lap and deading the important documents that Gu Shao has sent him to check.

...

Ji Dynasty.

After returning to her chamber from the main palace, Zhao Ming lazed on her bed and asked Lu shi who was placing Zhao Ming's shoes in their place that she has thrown in different directions since she has entered the room, ” Lu shi, get me the food. I am HUNGRY…!!” she shouted in a loud voice making the two guards hear that were standing outside the room.

Even the guards felt flustered hearing her yelling so loudly. It was very ill-mannered for a lady to shout like this and behave so crudely.

Lu shi's face turned red in embarrassment and she hurriedly ran towards Zhao Ming's bed and said in a low voice, ” Miss. What are you doing? You should not shout like this. There are guards outside. What will they think about you? You're the Empress, you can't behave so crudely.” she scolded her without any mercy.

Since Zhao Ming has woken up from the coma, Lu shi felt that she has aged in years just a few days. More than being her maid, she felt that she is her teacher who has to teach her and reprimand her when the time comes.

Zhao Ming was surprised when Lu shi scolded her and raised her brows in surprise. She scoffed lightly seeing Lu shi scolding her and said, ” What did you say? Dare to repeat your words?”

Lu shi was shocked to see the dangerous aura of Zhao Ming. Just now, she was being childish and now suddenly, her eyes became darkened and hands folded by her chest in a domineering manner as she sat on the bed.

Lu shi unconsciously took one step back and stuttered slightly, ” Miss, I just wanted you to maintain your kind and noble image. I don't want anyone to think that you're rude and arrogant.” she said while forcing a smile on her face.

Zhao Ming scanned Lu shi's expression and sighed. She hates being told off by anyone but in this palace, everyone was telling her to do this and that even Lu shi.

She got slightly annoyed just now when she heard her words. She does not want to lose her cool on her because she knows that Lu shi cares for her and was trying to help her so that she won't embarrass her in front of others.
