Chapter 443 - Why did you close the door? (1/2)

Ji Cheng wanted to tell Zhao Ming that he trusts her and since she has these powers she can do whatever she wants.

He doesn't want her to get intimidated from anyone even if that person is Xiao Li or his mother.

However, he didn't expect her to be this straightforward. Generally, these things were spoken in an indirect way, but she chose to directly confront him.

A smile appeared on his lips seeing her confident expressions. She didn't even hesitate while asking this question.

” Yes.You don't need to worry about anyone, even if that person is my mother. You're my wife and the mother of the future Emperor, so there is no need for you to be worried about anything.” he said with a warm smile on his face.

Zhao Ming's ears turned red hearing his words. He said, ' Mother of the future Emperor?'

Why does he bring children in every single thing?

She felt embarrassed and turned her head away from him, avoiding his eye contact.

She suddenly felt hot and said, ” I think I should take a bath. Ah, it's too hot here.” she doesn't know if she was feeling hot because of summer or because of his words?

Though she has a bold personality however, she felt extremely embarrassed and became shy when he said such words.

She wanted to fan her face but when she tried to raise her hand, she felt someone restraining her movements. She looked down and found out that he was holding her both hands in his.

She was speechless at his slyness. All this time, she didn't even realize that he was holding her hand.

She looked at him as creases appeared on her forehead.

Ji Cheng felt that she looked more adorable this way.

He chuckled and turned around towards her chamber, still holding her left hand. She tried to pull her hand, but he tightened his grip on her hand and asked casually, ” Didn't you take a bath a while ago? You want to take a bath again?” he asked with a grin on his face.

Zhao Ming had no option other than to walk beside him, since he was not leaving her hand.

Her eyes were on their hands which were intertwined together. She didn't realize it before, but his palm was bigger than hers, and her hands looked smaller compared to his.

His hands were quite rough and manly.

After a few moments later, she felt that someone was staring at her. She looked away from their hands and raised her head.

When she looked up, her gaze met with his and she witnessed the pleasant smile on his face.

When he was talking to her and didn't get any reply, he looked at her only to find out that she was staring at their hands which were intertwined together.

He wanted to intertwine with her just like their hands. But he knows that he needs to give her some more time.

He needs to respect her feelings, for her to open up to him.

….

Zhao Ming pursed her lips and took a deep breath.

” You were saying something right? What did you say earlier?” Zhao Ming smiled awkwardly trying to get away from this uncomfortable feeling.

Ji Cheng raised his brows and asked again, ” Didn't you take a bath a while ago? You want to bath again? Why?”

Zhao Ming felt that his 'why' was not as simple as it looked. There was a certain playfulness and hidden meaning behind his words.

She narrowed her eyes trying to read his thoughts. But as always, she failed.

” Haha. You're right. I forgot that I had a bath earlier. But it was just too hot today.” Zhao Ming climbed up the few steps towards her chamber while trying to pull her hand from his grip but he didn't leave her hand.

Upon entering the room, he finally let go of her hand. Zhao Ming felt so relieved that she hurriedly walked towards her bed.

Just as she was about to sit down on her bed, she heard the sound of the gate closing.

She saw that he not only shut the door but was locking it from inside as well? .
