Chapter 524 - There is no ice here. (2/2)

She smiled and raised her brows as if asking for an answer. He sighed and said, ” I was indeed supposed to come by afternoon. But suddenly I heard Lu shi's voice outside the courtroom. She was arguing with Feng Ju and when I called him, I found out that Empress Dowager has come to meet you alone at the chamber and that too she seems to be quite angry.”

” And that's how I came back early.” He pursed his lips. Though he felt he wasn't early at all. If he had come a minute early, then she wouldn't have been slapped like this.

However, he didn't do anything after he came back, other than standing beside her.

She has managed everything so well. He felt a little relieved seeing that she is not a forgiving person like before.

If this had happened in the past, then she would have ignored this incident and even got influenced by Wen Xu's emotional drama.

After all, he knows his mother better than anyone else. She has always used Zhao Ming's kind and polite nature against her.

Zhao Ming nodded and looked towards the door. She saw Lu shi sneaking around who was hiding behind the door.

Lu shi got startled and ran back when she saw that Zhao Ming was looking at her.

Zhao Ming chuckled and her lips curled up in a smile. Lu shi nags her a lot for everything but she is the one who cares about her a lot.

' This girl.'

” Come here.”

He made her sit on the bed and left to bring something. When he came back he was carrying a small glass bottle.

Zhao Ming stared at the bottle in his hand which had some red colored powder in it.

She frowned in confusion when she heard him say, ” It's a medicine for swelling. Your face has swelled up from the slap earlier.”

”-_-”

She pursed her lips, ” Ermm...you don't need to worry about it much. It was just a slap, why are you making it like she has stabbed me with a knife or something? ” she chuckled as she stared at the medicine.

She felt that the medicine for a slap is too much. For swelling, she can simply use an ice pack.

Wait, there is no ice here.

She remembered that this world doesn't have anything to make ice. She suddenly felt a little depressed because she remembered her iced latte.

It would be lovely if she could drink that in this hot weather.

Sigh. Now she realized the value of technology that she had in her times. But it's too late to know it's value.

”-_-”

Ji Cheng stared at her in confusion seeing that she suddenly started thinking about something else.
