Chapter 332 - Can I visit your shop sometime? (2/2)

She was too afraid to look at Ji Cheng because all she could see was his dark eyes which were shooting daggers at her.

….

After the heated conversation, Zhao Ming made servants serve the food. After Ji Cheng said that he will manage everything, the topic was closed.

They ate their dinner rather peacefully and Zhao Ming started conversations with Wen Ru in between to not make him feel awkward and lonely.

During the whole feast, Xiao Li didn't say anything and just kept quiet.

She was already in shock that the incident regarding Tao Qiu will be investigated and she was afraid that if that stupid maid opened her mouth than it would harm her reputation.

She was afraid that everyone would come to know the truth behind Zhao Ming's drowning incident. She didn't say anything during the whole feast and barely touched her food.

Zhao Ming was pleased that Xiao Li didn't say anything and didn't disturb her anymore. She was relaxed and during the feast, she talked to Wen Ru about many things.

Whereas Ji Cheng was annoyed seeing Zhao Ming talking with Wen Ru happily. The gaze in Wen Ru's eyes was disturbing him.

After the feast, the servant served the dessert and some fruits for everyone.

When Zhao Ming got her plate, she placed a piece of grape in her mouth and said as she looked up at Wen Ru, ” Brother Wen, what business you do?” she casually asked while eating.

Although she knew some things that she heard from Lu shi but to make the conversation go on, she needs to ask him herself.

Wen Ru raised his brows and observed her expressions. She never talked to him about his business or something.

But now she was showing interest in his work. Normally, no woman asked him about his work but she is the first one to do so.

” I have a different business from my father. I have a shop which sells women's items like scarfs and some clothes. It also includes some rose powder and other skincare products for them.” he said while sipping his tea as he was not fond of dessert.

Ji Cheng was also drinking tea and turned to look at Zhao Ming when she asked this question.

He could sense the excitement in her voice when she asked this question.

His expressions turned gloomy seeing the happiness in her eyes while looking at Wen Ru.

” Oh really? Is your shop in Ji city itself? Or somewhere else?” Zhao Ming excitedly asked Wen Ru.

” Yes. It's in Ji City. But it is a little far away from the palace. It's in the center area of the city because that area is more crowded than here and it's easier to gather more customers. ” Wen Ru replied casually.

He was smiling mildly seeing the excitement in Zhao Ming's eyes.

The palace was situated in the Ji city but it's away from the main market area which was more crowded due to safety and privacy reasons.

His shop was in the middle of the Ji Dynasty and there it is easy to get customers.

Zhao Ming nodded and asked innocently, ” Then, can I visit your shop sometime? I wanted to go out because I am so bored staying in the palace and doing nothing.”

Ji Cheng's hands stopped in the air when he heard her words.

' She wanted to visit his shop? Why?'

Wen Ru looked at Zhao Ming with stunned expressions. It's the first time, she has directly asked him something.

No one has visited his shop before, not even Xiao Li. He sometimes brings gifts for everyone but no one has visited his shop before.

He looked at her and nodded. ” Yes. You can come. It will be my honor if her highness would visit my shop.” he politely replied to her.

Ji Cheng looked at Zhao Ming with stunned expressions and asked, ” What will you do there?”

” Hmm? ” Zhao Ming glanced at him and was confused about his question.

” I want to see his shop?” she replied hesitantly. She was not sure why Ji Cheng was asking her such questions.

Can't she just go there simply? Does he have to ask so many questions?

” But why?” Ji Cheng countered to question her.

” Because I want to?” Zhao Ming doesn't know what to answer about this question. She wanted to see what kind of items woman prefers here and how she can make changes and see her products there.

But why was Ji cheng looking so stern while talking about visiting his shop?
