Chapter 510 - It makes my heart flutter (2/2)

Fortunately, he remembered what happened to the man who used to work at Master Wen Ru's shop. He has heard that the man had insulted the Empress and Ji Cheng brought him back to torture him.

He didn't kill that man, instead, he cut off his tongue from which he has disrespected Zhao Ming. Not only that, but he was also sent to the confinement room where there is not a single ray of light and he wasn't given to eat anything and drink for days and in the end, he died because of hunger.

He has heard about this incident but he didn't believe that Ji Cheng would torture someone like this for a woman. Because until now, he has given importance to his moral ethics.

And other than on wars, he has never used violence but for this woman, he has punished someone so ruthlessly.

….

” Majesty..you need to think again. You can't just remove anyone from..” the other man tried to help Minister Yu but stopped talking when he saw Ji Cheng's deathly glare.

” Get out.!”

Everyone shut up and glances at each other. They silently stood up and left the room while dragging Minster Yu with them because they were worried that he might say something inappropriate in spite of anger.

…..

Zhao Ming pursed her lips and felt a little guilty seeing that the man was removed from his position because of her.

Ji Cheng turned to her and saw her expressions.

” It's not because of you. So don't think too much about it. ”

He took her smooth hands in his hands and rubbed them realizing how cold they are. Even in this hot weather, her hands were so cold.

Zhao Ming smiled and didn't think about those insignificant people. After all, she wasn't the one who removed him from his position. If Ji Cheng has done something, then he must have had his reasons.

” You..are you fine now? You feel okay?” He asked worriedly wondering if she still needed some alone time.

She smiled and nodded.

” I am feeling better. Thank you so much for being understanding. I know that I have hurt you so much in these past few days but I needed some time to calm down.”

Ji Cheng smiled hearing her words.

” You don't need to thank me for this. I am your husband and I only did what I should do. If I won't respect your decision then who will? Being husband and wife doesn't mean that we have to stick to each other all the time.”

” I just gave you some space. It was nothing.”

Zhao Ming smiled hearing his words.

” Don't say such words.” She dramatically shook her head.

Ji Cheng was surprised and before he could say anything, she said, ” It makes my heart flutter.”

”-_-”

His ears turned red upon hearing her outspoken words. He has to agree that her words are too direct compared to her past self.
