Chapter 500 - Energy booster (1/2)

Wen Xu and Xiao Li heard from a maid that Wen Ru was planning to have dinner with Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng, so they hurriedly came over as they wanted to try to persuade Ji Cheng to reduce their punishment.

They tried to confront him but it didn't work. Now it's the only way they could think to talk to him.

Ji Cheng frowned when he saw that Wen Xu and Xiao Li were also there.

He took Zhao Ming's hand in his hand and intertwined their fingers.

Zhao Ming glanced at him and smiled. She understood that it was his way to show his support.

A long table was in the middle with cushions placed around it for them to sit on.

” Greetings to Empress Dowager.” Zhao Ming greeted Wen Xu when they walked over.

Wen Xu frowned and didn't respond to her greeting. Even though she is in a pitiful state, she won't beg her.

She is here for her son and nephew. And no one else.

Xiao Li's lips curled upwards when she saw Wen Xu ignoring Zhao Ming in front of Wen Ru.

Zhao Ming didn't mind that Wen Xu didn't respond to her but then she shifted her glance to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

However, Zhao Ming didn't move and stood on the spot while staring at Xiao Li.

”-_-”

Xiao Li gritted her teeth and forced the words out of her mouth, ”Greeting to the Empress”.

Zhao Ming was pleased and nodded in response.

Wen Ru smiled when she saw how she was playing with Xiao Li.

'She has changed a lot.'

It's still hard for him to digest that she has changed a lot and has become more wild and unrestrained.

Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming took their seats on the opposite side of Wen Xu and Xiao Li.

” Xiao Li, why are you sitting here? Go and sit beside Ji Cheng, after all it's your place. Don't sit here to accompany me.” Wen Xu encouraged Xiao Li to grab the opportunity and sit beside him.

Xiao Li shyly smiled and nodded hesitantly. She stood up and was about to walk over but stopped when she heard a cold voice.

” No need. You can just stay seated where you are.”

Ji Cheng's cold words put her in an awkward situation. She pursed her lips and glanced at Zhao Ming with hatred.

The latter didn't bother with her gaze and was counting the number of dishes.

Wen Xu frowned but didn't say anything. She doesn't want to argue with Ji Cheng. That's why she swallowed her anger and patted Xiao Li's hand to make her sit down.

Everyone waited for Ji Cheng to start eating so that they could do so. Feng Ju has already checked his meal, so he now needs to eat the food so that everyone can start eating.

But Zhao Ming like always picked her chopsticks ahead of time and was about to dig in, when her chopsticks were slapped by someone.

She looked up and saw Wen Xu had slapped her chopsticks with her hand.

She frowned and glared at her in annoyance.

Wen Xu pursed her lips and said, ” What are you glaring at? Don't you know the basic formalities? How dare you try to eat food before Ji Cheng? It's been so long since you woke up, but you are still trying to take advantage of your memory loss.”
