Chapter 714 - Dont call my name!! (1/2)

Ji Cheng stared at Zhao Ming with his widened eyes in shock. His hands clenched into a fist as he looked at her face in disbelief which was the same as before but the words that he had just heard....caused him to think about many things that he had ignored.

After she woke up from the state of being unconscious for three weeks, her words and actions were different from her previous self. The well-mannered, calm, and composed Zhao Ming suddenly turned into a clumsy, loud, and glutton Zhao Ming.

The way she talked, walked, and even slept, everything changed. He thought that all of this happened because of her memory loss, but even after her memories came back, she didn't change to her old self. Her actions were the same as before- clumsy and loud, unlike her previous self.

The only thing that didn't change was her...face.

He scoffed at his stupidness when he realized that he was being lied to all this while. He was so lost in his love for her that he didn't notice that the person in front of him was not even his Zhao Ming.

If she didn't fall into a deep slumber this time and he hadn't witnessed the way Shen Jia did rituals for her and saved her from that wrecking pain when she woke up from the state of being unconscious, he wouldn't have doubted the whole situation.

He was suspicious that there was something that he was unaware of and only Zhao Ming and Shen Jia knew about it but he didn't know that the secret was this big. If he hadn't heard Zhao Ming's words mistakenly, she might have lied to him forever.

Zhao Ming stared at him with her watering eyes and looked at Ji Cheng wanting to say something but he raised his hand to stop her from talking whenever she tried to say something.

Tears filled in her eyes as she felt her throat choking, suffocating her. Her eyes turned red, filled with tears as she watched Ji Cheng standing there in a daze while he tried to understand the whole situation.

The expressions on his face, the look of dejection in his eyes were making her miserable and heartbroken.

” Ji Cheng...I...I didn't try to lie to you. I just…” she started talking when she saw him looking at the ground in disbelief.

” DON'T CALL MY NAME!”

Zhao Ming was shocked when she was cut in between by him when he raised his head and said the words coldly while staring at her as if she was some stranger.

” Ji Ch-

” I said STOP CALLING MY NAME. Only Zhao Ming has the right to call me with my name, and you're not my Zhao Ming,” he said while looking at her coldly, however, the pain was visible in his eyes which was making her more guilty.

She remembered the day when he gave her permission to call him by his name saying that other than his mother, she was the first person to call him by his name. All the consorts call him by his title only and cannot even dare to call him by his name as they can be punished for their audacity.

However, that day she realized that he might be an Emperor, but he is not as ruthless as she had imagined him to be. There is an innocent and playful side of him, that he had only shown to her.
