Chapter 249 - I allow you to be as rude as you want (2/2)

When he heard her words, he raised his brows in amusement and said, ” So you're bothered that Mother would get to know that I am in your room.” he said while pondering over something and nodding his head in understanding.

Zhao Ming just stared at him as she was speechless. 'Did he only heard this part of her words? What about sleeping in his room?'

Ji Cheng didn't looked at Zhao Ming for a minute and seems like he was thinking about something with his head hung down with his eyes closed.

She just watched him behave this way wand was amused by the way he was looking. He was looking sexy without even trying.

The man with good looks and manners is a jackpot. It would have been better if she had met him in the 21st century but here it was impossible for her to like him as a man.

She felt that she feels attracted to her because he is handsome and sometimes could become very cute. But she was not planning to stay her whole life here and wanted to go back as soon as she can.

Ji Cheng finally looked up at her face and say, ” You don't need to worry about that. From now on, you should tell everything to me. Even if my mother or Xiao Li says and does something to you, come to me. I'll handle them. Don't keep everything to yourself just like in the past.” he said to her while looking straight into her eyes.

Zhao Ming was baffled when she heard his words. These words were quite unexpected and the way he said does not seem to be joking. She could sense his seriousness while speaking such words.

” Moreover, you're the Empress, so use your authority as an Empress. Though my mother is the Empress Dowager but you're also the acting Empress. You have every right to speak and use your rights. Don't give in to people just because you respect them and you're kind.” he said with his jaw tightened as he remembered all the dirty things they have done behind his back.

At that time, he didn't focus on the things which were going in the palace and was busy settling the rebels in other areas of the country and was in the process of strengthening his power. However, this ignorance of him weakened the foundation of his relationship with Zhao Ming and his marriage with her.

” The people can be very cruel. You need to treat them the same way, they treat you. Just because you love them or respect them, you can't let them crumple over your self-respect. And that goes with me as well.”

Zhao Ming: ” -_- ” she has no idea why he suddenly giving her a lecture to handle people accordingly. She knows this better than anyone else. She is not a kind person like Zhao Ming.

She can be a  bi*ch if the situation forces her to be. She rather be an antagonist than the protagonist because she hates to be kind to those who want her to face a failure in her life. She does not understand why she had to behave nicely to those who never behave nicely to her.

” Don't forgive me unless you could feel my sincerity. I allow you to be as rude as you want. I won't say anything to you. But I will not stop approaching you. That's my way to apologize to you for the things I have done in the past or the things I was clueless or never bothered myself with it.”

When he spoke these words, his expression was gentle as he looked straight into her eyes, making her realize his sincerity and seriousness towards this issue. He wanted to fix everything in their relationship and also wanted to make her realize that she truly deserves to be the Empress and no one can take her place.

” I am sorry for making you go through all the things that you went to. But now I feel truly apologetic towards you and wanted to make up for all the pain I have given you. Can you give me a chance to approach you and give our relationship a new start?” he asked with his eyes shining brightly.

Zhao Ming was startled when he suddenly started talking about the heavy and emotional words. She didn't expect him to say such words.

She felt awkward when he apologized to her because she was not the right person he should apologize to. She felt that these words were addressed to the real Zhao Ming because wasn't wronged or tortured in any way and it should be the real Zhao Ming who deserves to hear his apology.

She felt bad because she was not able to hear those words, that she wanted to hear so much. Zhao Ming did not say anything and just looked at him with a complicated gaze.
