Chapter 404 - Little Zhao (1/2)

Zhao Ming took her clothes from Lu shi's hand and was about to go to the bathroom when Lu shi spoke, ” Miss, his highness has said that you should go to the bathroom which is on the other end of the corridor. It is for the guests and it has a lock as well.”

Lu shi was confused when Ji Cheng asked her to tell Zhao Ming about the other bathroom but she conveyed the message anyway.

Zhao Ming halted in her steps and turned to look at her. She pursed her lips because she understood what Ji Cheng meant.

Last night after Zhao Ming went to her room, Ji Cheng asked Wen Ru about the bathroom and at that time he found out that the bathroom near the bedroom was for Wen Ru only.

He didn't put a lock because he doesn't like to lock the bathroom and no one enters his bathroom anyway. There is another bathroom at the end of the hallway which was for the guests.

Though Ji Cheng couldn't understand his reasoning why he don't like the lock in the bathroom.

At that time Ji Cheng understood everything. Zhao Ming didn't know that there was another bathroom and took a bath in that bathroom which didn't even have the lock.

That's why he asked Lu shi to tell her to go to the bathroom on the other end of the hallway.

…

Zhao Ming felt her ears turning red when she realized that Ji Cheng doesn't want her to go to the same bathroom like yesterday.

She sighed and went to the bathroom which was on the other end of the hallway and this time she checked that it had a lock.

After getting ready, Zhao Ming went to the dining room where Wen Ru and Ji Cheng were already waiting for her.

She stood outside the room as she felt nervous seeing Ji Cheng sitting on the chair who looked intimidating yet charming at the same time.

She felt strange since she didn't see him last night. They didn't talk much when she got up from her nap in the evening and ate their dinner.

After dinner she went back earlier and didn't even see him before going to sleep. And even today, she didn't see him in the morning so she felt a little strange seeing him now.

Ji Cheng who was talking to Wen Ru  was interrupted when the maid announced Zhao Ming's arrival.

He looked over and saw Zhao Ming standing there. She was wearing the orange colored gown in which she looked more bright and cheerful.

He looked at her from top to bottom and his gaze stopped on her peachy lips. They were slightly tinted with rose color and looked more beautiful and fuller.

He swallowed his saliva as he controlled his urge to kiss those lips.

He cleared his throat and looked away in embarrassment. He kept reminding the scene where she was sleeping in the bathtub with her eyes closed and was fully n.a.k.e.d.

Wen Ru didn't notice the atmosphere between them and welcomed Zhao Ming, ” Little Zhao, you came on the right time. We were both waiting for you.” he said as he gestured to her to sit down.

Zhao Ming was little surprised but smiled when she heard Wen Ru calling her, ' Little Zhao.'

Previously, he has agreed call her sister, Her highness is too formal and she doesn't want to be this way with him

Since she feels comfortable around him that's why she wanted him to drop formalities and call her comfortably. Moreover, she is younger than him in terms of age so calling her Little Zhao is fine.
