Chapter 557 - Does he have to be romantic at this place? (2/2)

It was really a surprise for them. There were a few people who had witnessed this earlier, so they weren't surprised.

But there are many who were seeing Zhao Ming for the first time and have seen this side of Ji Cheng for the first time.

” Ah” Zhao Ming suddenly woke up as she felt uncomfortable and realized that everyone was staring at her with their wide eyes.

When she turned to the side, she was surprised when she saw Ji Cheng staring at her.

”-_-”

No doubt everyone was staring at her like this.

' Does he have to be romantic at this place? Because of this, she became the center of attention all of sudden.

” You're tired? You don't need to attend the second phase of the meeting. You can go and rest.” He said in a gentle tone while looking at her warmly.

Zhao Ming pursed her lips as she felt extremely embarrassed because she almost fell asleep during the meeting.

That too, when she is the Empress.

” Erhh...I am fine. You can continue.” She waved her hands and asked the minister who was saying something earlier to continue.

Ji Cheng looked at her and asked, ” You're really okay?”

She frowned and nodded as she tapped on his hand to shut up. His words were making her more embarrassed.

His lips curled up in a smile seeing her cute reactions.

….

” Majesty, this is the budget plan for Paradise school. Since many people were sending their sons to our school, we need extra budget to manage the school and to add the required facilities in the school.” One person stood up and said as he passed a report to Ji Cheng.

When he said the name of the school, Zhao Ming remembered that it is the only school in the Ji city which is the capital of the Ji Dynasty, which is popular among the nobles and ministers.

The school only accepts the students from rich and noble backgrounds and provides them all the essential and luxurious facilities.

Students have to stay at the school premises as they study there.

It's like a modern-day boarding school system.

Zhao Ming pursed her lips as she heard the report of the man. He kept praising his school and was saying that his school is unbiased and is best when it comes to teaching the students.

After hearing the man's report, Ji Cheng glanced at Zhao Ming who seemed to be in deep thought.

Her expressions were slightly frowned and lips were pursed in a thin line.

” What happened?” He asked Zhao Ming before passing the budget requested by the head of the school.

In the past, he has passed these budgets without much thinking because he believed that money should not come in between when it comes to teaching.

The head of the school pursed his lips when he saw that Ji Cheng didn't pass the budget yet and Zhao Ming's expressions looked strange as well.

He has heard about her from other ministers and he doesn't have a good image of her.

Today she not only attended the meeting in place of the Empress Dowager but she came wearing men's clothes that are totally unacceptable.

Nobody said anything to her because of Ji Cheng but he was prepared to deal with her if she said anything against his budget.
