Chapter 590 - Did he just compare himself to a ring? (1/2)
After Xiao Li left the chamber, Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng went to their chamber as well leaving Shuren to rest in her room.
…
” What are you doing?” Ji Cheng asked while removing his upper robe.
Zhao Ming was sitting on the edge of the bed while holding the ring given by Shuren carefully between her palms and was staring at the ring with her bright eyes.
She pursed her lips and replied without lifting her head, ” I am looking at this ring. How can it be so beautiful?”
Ji Cheng walked to her after changing his clothes and stared at her amusingly, ” Do you like this ring that much? I never knew that you like these kinds of ornaments. ”
” I always like these kinds of ornaments. I don't like heavy dresses but ornaments like these are always welcomed. I just wish I could take these things back. ” She murmured the last sentence which wasn't audible to him
” What did you say?”
” Nothing.”
She stood up from the bed and passed by him, not even glancing at him in the process and placed the ring in one of the empty boxes carefully and hid it in the wooden closet.
After she was done, she turned around and saw that he was staring at her while standing on the same spot with dejected expressions.
” Why are you pouting like this?” She asked as she walked towards him while chuckling.
He pursed his lips and said, ” Why do I feel that you like this ring more than me? Since you got that ring, you haven't even glanced at me properly. ”
She raised her brows in surprise seeing the Emperor of the Ji Dynasty acting like a pouty child.
” Are you..jealous of that harmless ring? Seriously? ”
His expressions turned grim when he heard her question.
' Hah. Jealous? Me? Not at all.'
He scoffed and said, ” Why would I be jealous of that stupid ring? I know that I am more charming and attractive than that ring.”
”-_-”
'Did he just compare himself to a ring?'
Her lips curled up in amus.e.m.e.nt as she said, ”Who said that you're more charming than that ring? I think the ring is more beautiful and attractive.” She shrugged her shoulders and folded her arms in front of her chest.
”-_-”
” What? What did you say? That ring is more attractive?” Ji Cheng's expressions turned dark upon hearing her words as he stared at her.
'This..this girl..how can she be so heartless?'
He was still shocked and in a daze that he didn't notice her mischievous expressions.
Seeing him in trance, she moved forward and placed her hands on his arms and gave him a quick peck on his warm lips.
” The only difference is..the ring is a non-living thing while you are a living person. I can kiss you, cuddle with you and ”Ahem”, sleep with you. But I can't do all this with that ring. So I prefer you over that ring.”
She wanted to use a different word in place of sleep but he wouldn't have understood the meaning of that word, so she just replaced it with sleep.
