Chapter 300 - She was now starting an open war (2/2)

Ji Cheng has eyes only for Zhao Ming and was looking at her all the time. He did not bother about others' opinions and he had only Zhao Ming in his eyes.

Xiao Li was feeling humiliated and outraged that her maid was dragged away and was thrown out of the palace. Though she wanted to punish her by herself because of the words she said to Ji Cheng.

But getting punished and slapped by Zhao Ming felt like she has slapped her on the face.

Though she doesn't like her but she hated Zhao Ming because she dared to touch her people.

She dared to challenge her authority and her status in the palace by punishing her servant in front of her eyes.

”She was now starting an open war.”

' Zhao Ming, you dare to challenge me in front of everyone? I won't leave you like this. I will not let you get everything. Ji Cheng is mine and will remain mine forever.' Xiao Li cursed Zhao MIng as she went out of the kitchen.

…

After Xiao Li left, Zhao Ming sighed in relief. She was now feeling tired because of all the scenes. She just came to check the arrangements but all this happened.

She never thought that this could happen so suddenly. She felt that she has used all her energy in this petty argument and was feeling exhausted.

Ji Cheng looked at her sighing and his heart ached. Her face has become pale and she was looking tired.

He knew that she was still weak but had to witness all this drama. That's why he does not want her to go to the kitchen yet.

He looked around and saw that the other maids have started to work again and was cooking for tonight's feast.

He looked out and saw that there is some time until dinner. He wanted her to get a nap. If she sleeps for a while, then her body will feel relaxed.

He reached out his hand and held her by the shoulder. She was standing tiredly and when he suddenly held her by the shoulders making her almost jump in a startle.

She didn't expect him to hug her like this in public. Though it is not considered as a hug it is very intimate for them, because at first, he was hesitant to hold her hands and now holding her by the shoulders.

He has upgraded her actions very quickly.

She looked at him in surprise with her wide eyes which were like an orbit and her confused expressions and half-opened mouth were making him fell for her more.

Though she didn't avoid his touch but was surprised to see him suddenly approaching her like this.

” Tired? You should go and rest. Leave all this work on Lu shi. She will check everything.” he said straightly.

Zhao Ming's lips twitched. There is no need to check anything. The maids were experienced and could manage these kinds of feasts easily.

At that time, she said this because she wanted to avoid him but he was still insisting on checking the preparations and wanted to leave Lu shi behind for this.

Before Zhao Ming could deny him, Lu shi suddenly appeared in front of her from behind and said reassuringly, ” Miss, you should go and rest. I will check everything properly and will report you in the evening.” she said politely.

Zhao Ming has no choice but to agree with Ji Cheng's arrangement. She nodded her head slightly and said, ” Okay. Then do that. I will take some rest then.” she said with a smile on her face.

Her body was feeling exhausted and felt that her soul has left her body. This argument has given her so much mental stress.

She wanted to lay on her bed and wanted to sleep peacefully.
