Chapter 408 - Did you forgot your manners? (1/2)

In the carriage, Zhao Ming was feeling awkward, sitting alone with Ji Cheng in a small carriage.

She could feel his gaze which was on her which was making her more uncomfortable.

She rested her back against the wall of the carriage and closed her eyes. She was feeling exhausted because she walked so much in the morning and her stomach was full from eating.

Ji Cheng who was glancing at her saw her going into the slumber. Soon, she fell asleep and her head started to bend sideways.

Ji Cheng hurriedly held onto her head which was tilting sideways and was about to fall down, when he held her and placed her head on his shoulders.

Zhao Ming held onto his arm tightly in her sleep while her head rested on his shoulder.

Ji Cheng smiled seeing her actions and wrapped his hand around her, hugging her. He could feel her uniform breathing and the warmth coming from her body.

Zhao Ming slept through the whole journey and successfully avoided the awkward atmosphere because of their silence.

….

Ji Cheng also fell asleep on the journey, opened his eyes when he realized that the carriage had stopped and they had reached the palace.

He turned to Zhao Ming who was in a deep sleep and was drooling. She has ruined her robe which was covered in her saliva.

He chuckled seeing her sleeping like a baby. He stretched his hand and rubbed her milky smooth skin. Her cheeks were slightly red making her look so adorable.

” Zhao Ming, wake up. We have reached.” Ji Cheng patted Zhao Ming's cheek as he tried to wake her up.

.

Zhao Ming who was in a deep sleep, slowly opened her eyes when she heard his words.

” We've reached?” she rubbed her eyes as she raised her head and tried to look around. Her body was stiff from sleeping, especially her neck.

She looked around and froze when her gaze met with Ji Cheng's dark eyes.

They were so close and she felt herself drowning into his deep gaze.

She realized that she was sleeping with her head on his shoulder. All this while, they were sitting closely while he was hugging her and she was sleeping with her head on his shoulder.

Her face turned red and she hurriedly moved her face to the side to avoid his gaze.

Ji Cheng sensed her awkwardness and chuckled.

He didn't say anything and prepared 5o get off the carriage. Afterwards, he turned towards Zhao Ming and stretched out his hand for her to hold on and get down as well.

Zhao Ming was surprised at first but she hesitantly placed her hand on his and got down from the carriage with his help.

When she finally got off, she was about to take her hand back when he tightly held onto her hand.

She was surprised when he didn't leave her hand.

Feng Ju and Lu Shi were already waiting for them at the entrance. Lu shi was happy seeing Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng acting so lovingly.

Wen Ru who just got off the horse also saw that Cheng was holding Zhao Ming's hand. His expressions turned slightly uncomfortable but he didn't say anything.

” Everyone can go and take a rest. ” Ji. Cheng said when everyone has gotten off from their horses and carriages.

They were in front of the entrance of the palace as they got off from their carriages and horses.

Everyone nodded and was about to go in, when they heard someone's voice.

” Ji Cheng.”

Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng were about to go inside the castle, when they heard a stern voice.

They all halted in their steps since they know that there is only one person who can call Ji Cheng using his name in public.
