Chapter 745 - The Curse (20) (1/2)

Zhao Ming squinted her eyes when she saw the familiar figure walking inside the restaurant. ” OH? Isn't that..Brother Ji Zhelan?” She asked in confusion, not sure if she was dreaming or hallucinating. How can Ji Zhelan be here?

Thinking about him, she couldn't help but think of that horrendous dream that was not only a dream but her tormenting past. She never thought that Ji Zhelan was that ruthless Emperor's reincarnation.

He looks like a fine man but since Ji Cheng has told her that he was the one who had planted that bodyguard behind her when Xiao Li spread the rumors about her and was planning to do treason, it still sent shivers to her spine. How can a man with such a puppy-innocent face be so evil?

Ji Cheng raised his brows and looked in the direction she was looking and frowned when he saw a man with pale skin and was fairly tall entering the restaurant with his face covered with a black mask and was wearing a cap.

” Are you talking about that man who just went inside? You can recognize him even though he is hiding his face? I think you're just talking nonsense.” He said, seeing her talking about seeing Ji Zhelan in this world. How can he be here?

However, upon hearing her words, he couldn't help but worry about what he must be planning, and since he was not there to check the situation, it was making him even more anxious.

” Did I see wrong?” she frowned and blinked her eyes in wonder.

Upon entering the restaurant, she looked around and searched for Ji Zhelan but frowned seeing that no one was there other than a few more customers who came to eat just like them.

”Was it my illusion? But I clearly saw him entering the restaurant.” She muttered.

Ji Cheng, who was standing behind her frowned seeing her looking for another man, ” Aren't you hungry now? And hold your bags yourself. How can you ask me, 'The Emperor of Ji Dynasty' to hold your bags?” He complained, leaving her to stare at him in disbelief.

' Why is he being so sensitive all of a sudden? Isn't he holding them fine all along?'

” Well, you're not the Emperor anymore, so who cares?” she murmured, only to earn a glare from him. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14697352905335105)/the-curse-(20)_%!d(string=51442397225220995) for visiting.

After settling on one of the tables, she looked at the menu and smiled seeing all her favorite dishes that she couldn't have at Ji Dynasty. Although the food they served at the palace was the best and especially the Special noodles by the Head Cook at the royal kitchen.

But she was excited to eat the food that she couldn't eat there. Living at the palace with no junk food was giving her anxiety and making her nervous. She needed to please her taste buds as well to have peace of mind.

” So..Mr. Emperor, what do you want to eat?” She looked at him curiously.

Ji Cheng who was looking at the menu frowned seeing that everything was written in a language that looked like a random drawing to him. She chuckled seeing his lost expressions and looked at the waiter who was standing beside their table, ” Erm..Please give us medium pepperoni and vegetable pizza each, spaghetti with lobster, garlic bread, and two cans of chilled beer. Thank you.” she said and passed the menu back to the waiter.

Ji Cheng looked at her in surprise as she ordered in English. Seeing her speaking in a foreign language that only the highly educated ambassadors who deal with foreign trade and relations could understand and even they can't speak with this ease. He couldn't help but stare at her in awe.

However, when the waiter brought the dishes, his eyes widened in shock. ” You ordered this much? Can you eat all this?” He asked while looking at the strange dishes and wondered if they were edible or not.

She glared at him and made him shut up. ” Do you doubt my appetite? You should know better than anyone how my appetite is.” She commented, making him choke at his water.

He pursed his lips, remembering how she used to finish all the dishes one by one when they used to eat together. Her real appetite was hidden behind her gentle appearance. She might look like she can't eat much but she alone can eat three people's portions.

She served him pizza and gestured to him to try it. However, he was hesitant but when he tasted it, his brows raised in surprise automatically.

What is this taste? It's very...different from what I have eaten in my whole life?
