Chapter 193 - I Will Not Leave That Bi*ch.
Ji Cheng was shocked when she suddenly leans in and stretched her hand to hold his hand.
She licked and bite her lips while bending her head.
When her nose suddenly brushed to his lips, he froze.
He has no idea if he should enjoy this moment or wake her up.
In the end, he decided to let her do what she wants.
Though her actions were slow and lousy but he was expecting this moment.
She nimble her nose at his lips as she sniffles it as if trying to smell something.
Her expressions were soft and gentle as she said, "Ahmm... My chicken."
He has stretched his hand to hold her hand but stopped in his actions when he heard her words.
' Chicken? She was treating me as chicken? Is chicken more delicious than me? Ahem. I mean important than me.' he was dumbfounded at her imagination.
But he froze when she suddenly brushed his lips with her tongue.
In her dream, she was licking the soft and tender chicken to taste its spiciness but in reality, she was licking his... Soft and tender lips.
His eyes grew wide in shock as she makes her bold move.
His hands which were frozen in the air, gently placed them on her back to support her.
He knew she was in her sleep.
He also wanted to be a gentleman and wake her up. He doesn't want to take her advantage like this,? but she was the one who was taking his advantage.
He was just... complying with her actions.
Keeping this in mind, he slightly parted his lips apart and opened his mouth.
He was anticipating the most awaited kiss between them.
After their wedding night, it will be the first time for them to be this close.
His body shivered at this thought.
Zhao Ming's brows furrowed as she found the taste of the chicken weird. It's not spicy and crunchy but soft and kind of sweet?
But she decided to taste it again.
This time she wanted to suck it to get a taste of it. She wanted to eat it but she was saving it for later.
In her dreams, she only got a piece of chicken. So she wanted to eat it later.
She pursed her lips and leaned again to suck the chicken.
On the other side, Ji Cheng's eyes were wide open as he watched her leaning in with her lips in a pout.
Her rosy cheeks were puffed as she pouted. He controlled the urge to pinch her cheeks.
He found her adorable as she was acting bold and innocent at the same time.
' Who kisses a man in her sleep?' he was relieved that the man next to her was him.
He can't take a risk of her sleeping at odd places. Because he now knew that she sleeps like a log and had weird habits while sleeping.
It will be dangerous for her to sleep at any other place with someone else.
Because no one else will be as controlled as him. No man would be able to control himself in front of her bold actions.
He was not making any move. He was just letting her do what she wants.
He was just allowing her to fulfill her wishes. That's it.
It is the husband's duty to fulfill the wife's wishes. He was just doing the duties of her husband.
He hides his guilt behind these excuses.
He parted his lips slightly as she leans in to suck the spiciness of the chicken. He stretched his tongue out as he was waiting for her next move.
In the anticipation, he closed his eyes, when suddenly a loud noise startled her up as she suddenly opened her eyes.
" BANG"
The door of the Chamber flew open which startled Zhao Ming who was engrossed in her dream.
….
Xiao Li was so angry that Ji Cheng left the banquet early just to meet that bi*ch Zhao Ming. Not only that he stayed at lotus pavilion.
Her blood was boiling at the thought about what would have happened between them in the night.
Before going to Zhao Ming's Chamber, she went to the Empress Dowager.
When Xiao Li arrived so early in the morning Wen Xu was surprised but she allowed her in.
Xiao Li came in and bowed in front of her slightly as a greeting.
Wen Xu nodded and asked her, " What happened to you? Why are you looking so worried?"
Xiao Li's face was worried about the thought of Zhao Ming in Ji Cheng's arms.
If by any chance, Zhao Ming became pregnant than her position in the harem will decrease and the two-faced Empress Dowager will not take her side anymore.
At that time, her heir will become the most valuable to her. So she can't this chance and let her power in the palace lessen.
Xiao Li looked at Wen Xu with worry in her eyes, " Mother, we should go to sister's chamber to visit her. I heard she got sick yesterday and even fainted. If we don't visit her in difficult times than she will think that we hate her." he spoke in a manner that she really cared about her health.
The maid had told her that Zhao Ming fainted yesterday and that's the reason his highness decided to stay there for the night.
Xiao Li was sure that Zhao Ming must've faked to be sick to make him stay for the night.
Wen Xu's expression darkened hearing her words, " Xiao Li. Why are you talking about that rude brat in the morning? If she don' respect her elders than I also don't need to visit her."
" And she also insulted you last night. I know you're kind-hearted but you can't let others take your advantage."
" She must be pretending to be sick. Let her be. I don't care if she dies or not. Come here, you must have not had your breakfast yet. Let's eat together." she said while gesturing to come over.
Xiao Li was glad that she don't care about her being alive or not.
She helplessly looked at Wen Xu and said, " Mother. I think we should visit sister's chamber. When his highness went to the lotus pavilion from the banquet last night, he stayed there for the whole NIGHT." she didn't forget to emphasis the word night.
Wen Xu furrowed her eyes when she heard her words.
" What? Ji Cheng stayed at lotus pavilion for the night? Because she fainted? Hah," she snorted in disbelief.
Xiao Li smiled inwardly as she continued, " Mother I am worried that his highness will think that we have bullied sister that she got sick. I am so worried that he will hate me after this day. Sister seems very upset yesterday."
"That's why she didn't even talk to me properly yesterday. She must be upset with me. I.. really don't know what wrong I have done to her. I treat her as my elder sister, but don't know why she can't accept me as her sister." her voice trembled while speaking as a drop of tear made it's way to her cheeks.
She looked like a person who has been wronged. She tried to make up things in a way that will make Zhao Ming a tattletale who always tells on other people.
Wen Xu's face darkened.
If Zhao Ming were to talk behind their backs then she will complain about Wen Xu first. She was worried that she will fill in bad things for her.
Even in the banquet, Ji Cheng was behaving differently to her. So she was worried that Zhao Ming will make Ji Cheng against her.
A few lines appeared on her forehead as she slammed her hand on the side handrest of the chair.
" That disgraceful girl. She dares to speak against me in front of Ji Cheng?. How dare she make my son go against me? I will not leave that bi*ch." she roared in anger.
Xiao Li's lips curved upwards as a sinister smile appeared on her lips.
' This old hag is so easy to manipulate. She really doesn't have her brain. Ha. Don't know how she became the Empress Dowager.'
' But with her by my side, it will be easy to kick Zhao Ming from the palace and I can become the next Empress Dowager of Ji Dynasty after giving birth to the next heir.' she looked at Wen Xu who was raging in anger and gave her a helpless look.
