Chapter 587 - WHAT THE HELL XIE MING..!! (1/2)

Xie Ming was feeling awkward being alone with Jian Yan outside. She pursed her lips and said, ” You're right. It's cold here. We should go back.”

She turned around to leave but her steps came to halt when she heard his words.

” Wu Yan.”

Xie Ming stopped and turned to look at him not understanding his words.

” En?”

His expressions became gentle as he said, ” My real name is Wu Yan. Just wanted to tell you that.” He said while staring at her with his expectant gaze.

Xie Ming's eyelashes fluttered as she stared at him in confusion, she laughed awkwardly and said, ” Ah, I know that your real name is Wu Yan. Mrs. Wu told me last time when we met together at the mall. It's a nice name.” She said with a smile and went inside the house.

Jian Yan's smile disappeared when she left. A sad expression appeared on his face seeing her reaction.

He had told her his name in the hope to get some reaction or she might recognize him, but in the end, all of his expectations broke when she said that she already knows his real name but she still has no idea who he is.

” Seems like I was the only one who thought so much about our first encounter.” He chuckled as he thought about how he made a joke of himself.

A tear rolled down his cheeks remembering all the time he has invested just to find her or she might recognize him if he becomes famous. But in the end, she doesn't even remember him.

When Xie Ming came back to her room, she was washing her face when she remembered something.

She looked into the mirror and murmured, ” Wu Yan. Why does this name sound so familiar?”

****

Ji Dynasty.

Ji Cheng was busy dealing with the ministers and was attending the meetings since he had decided to abolish the long-standing tradition of having many wives.

He didn't even have any time to spend with Zhao Ming and was staying in the study room for the last two days to not disturb Zhao Ming's sleep because sometimes he had to work till late.

Zhao Ming was in the guest room as Grandmother Shuren was arriving today and she took the task to prepare Grandmother Shuren's room and was ordering Lu shi to do things since morning.

” Lu shi, what kind of flowers Grandmother likes? Do you think she would like the soap that I made personally for her? Ah, I am so nervous.”

” I have heard from Ji Cheng that even Empress Dowager is scared of Grandmother Shuren. I wonder how she is going to treat me.” Zhao Ming felt her hands getting hot from nervousness.

Lu shi felt her ears hurting. Zhao Ming was asking the same question for hours now.

Lu shi wasn't afraid of how Grandmother Shuren is going to treat Zhao Ming. But she was worried about Zhao Ming's attitude towards grandmother. She was just afraid that Zhao Ming might do something to annoy Grandfather Shuren.

” Empress, His Majesty has called you to the main hall of the Palace. ”
