Chapter 349 - Or was he forced to leave early? (1/2)

Zhao Ming was surprised when he suddenly turned to her and looked at her through the mirror. She bit her lower lip when their eyes met through the mirror.

She smiled awkwardly and stood up to go to bed. She took small hesitant steps towards the bed.

Ji Cheng placed his doc.u.ments at the table beside the bed and saw her coming to the bed nervously. He raised his brows when he saw her coming towards him nervously.

Zhao Ming took a deep breath as she saw him shifting to the other side as he made a room for her on the bed.

She stiffly sat on the bed and hurriedly laid down and covered herself with the blanket.

Ji Cheng: ” -_- ”

Ji Cheng was speechless when he saw her hurriedly getting into the blanket and covering herself. He didn't expect that she would rush to get under the blanket.

He chuckled as he laid beside her and stared at her half head which was coming out from the blanket.

His gaze was tender as he kept staring at her back. He fell asleep while staring at her from the back.

…

The next day.

In the morning when Zhao Ming opened her eyes hazily, she found out that the side on the bed was empty. She frowned when she didn't find him.

She hurriedly sat up and felt worried that she slept for long. There are no clocks or phones in this world so it's hard for her to assume the time.

When she sat up hazily, Lu shi came in and when she saw Zhao Ming sitting on the bed, she smiled and said cheerily, ” Miss, you woke up?”

Zhao Ming's lips curled upwards as she replied, ” No, I am still sleeping.”

Lu shi: ” - _- ”

Lu shi pursed her lips when she saw Zhao Ming joking around in the early morning. She took a deep breath and said, ” Miss, his highness got up early and went to his chamber for some work. He has asked you to get ready when you wake up.” She politely conveyed the message to him.

Zhao Ming nodded in understanding and got up to get ready.

….

When Zhao Ming got ready, she stood in front of the mirror and nodded her head. She is looking beautiful as usual.

She didn't wear a heavy and luxurious gown, instead, she wore a simple dress that will serve the purpose.

She isn't going for any banquet or something, she was just going out to look around and she does not want to wear those dresses adorned with expensive beads and embroidery.

Lu shi who brought her breakfast was surprised when she saw Zhao Ming a purple and white-colored contrasted plain dress. She frowned and asked, ” Miss, Why are you wearing this dress? I chose another dress for you. It's very plain and does not look up to your status.”

Zhao Ming who was combing her hair looked at her and mocked, ” Lu shi, Oh my Lu shi. What will I do about you? Didn't I tell you that every dress looks good when it is worn at the right time. If you wear a bikini at a party and a gown at the beach, then what do you think will happen?”

Lu shi blinks her eyes as she was unable to understand Zhao Ming's strange words.

Zhao Ming smiled and said, ” You're bound to make a fool of yourself. So the moral of the story is that the dress you chose for me which was adored with those expensive threads and beads, was not suitable for this visit.”

She hit Lu shi's head with her palm jokingly. Lu shi stared at her as she blinks her eyes innocently.
