Chapter 753 - The Curse (28) (1/2)

Zhao Ming was in her room, lying in the bed while Xie Ming was sitting on a chair beside her, holding her wrist in her hand. Her eyes were closed as she was checking her pulse. Ji Cheng was standing behind Xie Ming and stared at Zhao Ming who was lying there, staring at the white ceiling awkwardly.

There was a long silence as Xie Ming was checking her pulse. Liwei was in his study, checking the files sent by Gu Shao. Since they were busy searching for the hairpin the whole day, he had to take a leave from the office, causing the office work to be piling up for him.

After a few minutes, Xie Ming opened her eyes and released Zhao Ming's hand. She looked at her with a gentle smile and then glanced at her stomach mysteriously.

Zhao Ming blinked seeing her smile and covered her stomach consciously, ” Why are you staring at me like this? Don't you dare say that I have gastritis. I told you that it's nothing. I am just tired and a little rest will do.” she said embarrassedly while covering her stomach seeing her gaze.

Xie Ming chuckled seeing her childish actions and shook her head in surprise. She always surprises her with her unexpected charm, how can she assume that she was going to talk about gastritis?

” Is she fine? There isn't anything wrong with her, or is there? Other than being exhausted the whole day, she can't even sleep at night properly. Also, I saw her vomiting yesterday as well.” Ji Cheng said to Xie Ming.

However, his words surprised Zhao Ming.

She was not expecting him to know everything. When they are in the same room, he doesn't even look at her and they were living like two strangers in the same room.

However, it turns out that he was noticing everything that she was doing. From her exhaustion to her lack of sleep. He was observing her all this while? Why? She wondered.

Xie Ming glanced at her before turning to Ji Cheng. She smiled and said, ” Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about it. She is absolutely fine.”

” How can she be fine? From her face, does she look fine?” He asked coldly, even Xie Ming was surprised that it was his first time talking to her actively after she told him how she feels about Liwei. Not only that, his questions were all about Zhao Ming. He was visibly worried for her.

” It's not because she is sick. It's normal in pregnancy.”

” Even though she is pregn-

Ji Cheng's words stuck in his throat when he realized what she just said. He looked at her in bewilderment with his eyes wide open, ” Pre..pregnant?”

She smiled and nodded, ” Yes. She is six weeks pregnant. Your Majesty, you're going to be a father soon. Congratulations.”

She turned to Zhao Ming who was also in shock and patted her hand, ” Zhao Ming, Congratulations. You're going to give birth to a little life soon.” she said with a smile. She glanced at Ji Cheng who was staring at Zhao Ming in surprise.

” I'll be outside,” she said and left the room.

-

After a long silence and awkwardness, Ji Cheng sat on the chair where Xie Ming was sitting earlier. He looked at Zhao Ming and saw her hesitant, nervous expressions.

It was the news that they weren't expecting. Although he has always yearned for a child, a child who will not only call him father but will also take over the Empire after him.

However, after knowing that Wen Xu had poisoned Zhao Ming after their first night that would make it impossible for her to get pregnant again, this news came as a pure surprise.
