Chapter 709 - Your gaze cant lie! (1/2)

Zhao Ming nodded slowly after hearing his response but she still couldn't stop looking at his toned body. It's like her eyes were glued to his body and she couldn't help but feel a little bit regretful when he said to not think anything strange.

Ji Cheng watched her in interest as her eyes moved up and down while she appreciated his body with her focused gaze. The weakness and exhaustion didn't seem anything at this moment in front of this beautiful tempting view.

However, his expressions darkened seeing her pale complexion and dry chapped lips. She was lying on the bed, bundled up in multiple blankets with which he covered her before going to the bathroom.

He remembered how she was crying and struggling in pain a few hours ago and she woke up after so many days and he didn't even get to ask her about her condition.

He reached out to caress her face and asked, ” Do you still feel pain? Should I call Aunt Shen Jia to check on you?”

Zhao Ming shook her head seeing his serious expressions and wanted to deny him but her throat was too dry for her to speak anything. Moreover, the bitterness of the medicine was lingering in her mouth making her feel nauseous. That's why she hates bitter medicines.

She doesn't know how she drank the medicine but she could feel its bitterness. It's the bitterness of the herbs that Aunt Shen Jia uses and it tastes horrible.

Her brows scrunched up as she tried to moisten her dry lips with her saliva but it was useless. Ji Cheng was puzzled seeing her licking her lips with her tongue. He was trying hard to not think anything inappropriate in this situation but her actions were making him bewildered.

However, she stopped when she saw his gaze fixed on her lips. She blinked twice and looked around, she pointed to the side table to make him look in her finger's direction.

” Ah, you want water?” he asked when he saw that she was pointing at the water jug that was placed on the side table.

She nodded. He picked up the jug and poured some water in a glass and placed a hand behind her head to help her sit up so that she can drink the water.

He helped her to drink water while holding the glass for her while she tried to focus on the water and not his long lashes which were distracting her.

She sighed loudly after drinking the water and said, ” Now I feel that I can live. My throat was so dry that it felt like someone had poured sand in it.” she joked to make him laugh but he just stared at her seriously which made her conscious of his gaze.

She pursed her lips and wondered why he was looking at her like this.

” Ji Cheng, why are you…”

” I missed you,” he said, cutting her words in between, which caught her off guard.

She stared at him in surprise but a smile crept on her lips after hearing his words. She was trying to lighten the mood by making jokes but he just needs to make it more romantic and passionate. His gaze was so strong that she could feel the pain and worry he must have felt while she was unconscious.

With his words, she couldn't help but think about the incidents that happened in her dream. The feelings and pain felt by Tan Xiu were still vivid to her because it was as if she was living that nightmare.
