Chapter 383 - You're an exception.

Ji Cheng who just came out of his room was searching for Zhao Ming. 

When he heard the voices coming from the garden, he walked towards the flower garden and saw Wen Ru and Zhao Ming talking in the middle of the garden. 

Zhao Ming was looking serious while speaking whereas Wen Ru seemed more shocked. 

His face darkened when he saw them talking together. 

He walked towards them and asked, " What are you guys talking about?" 

Zhao Ming, who was explaining the benefits of keeping receipts to maintain the account, was startled when she heard Ji Cheng's voice. 

She turned around to see him standing behind her with grim expressions on his face. 

Wen Ru was surprised as well when he saw Ji Cheng standing there. He could see the dark expression on his face. 

He gulped in fear because Ji Cheng was glaring at him. 

" I came to walk in the garden and met Brother Wen coincidentally. So we were talking about how we can prevent the fraud incident that happened today," she told him truthfully because there is nothing to hide about it. 

Ji Cheng raised his brows when he heard her words. 

' How can they prevent the incidents of embezzlement? Wen Ru was talking about this topic with Zhao Ming about it?' he could not believe that they were talking about it. 

Wen Ru understood the doubt in Ji Cheng's eyes and explained what they were talking about. He told him how Zhao Ming proposed the idea of keeping records of every purchase. 

Ji Cheng was surprised when he found out that it was Zhao Ming who gave this idea. 

He knows that she is quite different from other women and has an interest in makeup and clothes these days. But he was surprised to know that she has an interest in business as well. 

Wen Ru was a good businessman and has sealed the deals with many merchants which were hard to get with. 

And yet he couldn't think this idea but Zhao Ming, who never got out of the palace and has no business sense, can think about such a brilliant idea. 

" That's a great idea. How come you couldn't think of something like this?" Ji Cheng looked at Wen Ru with ridicule. 

Zhao Ming chuckled when she heard Ji Cheng's words. She was expecting him to question how could she think about something like this but she was surprised when he asked Wen Ru about it and not her. 

" Brother, don't make fun of me. I am already so stressed. I need to report this incident to my father also. I am worried about how he will react to this incident." Wen Ru said worriedly. 

Now when they know about Yu Kang's true intentions, he needs to explain this to Father Wen as well. 

He was worried about how he would react to this.

Zhao Ming understood Wen Ru's worry and nodded her head. 

" By the way, what were you doing here?" Zhao Ming asked Ji Cheng when she remembered that he came here and was wondering if he had something with her. 

Ji Cheng looked at her and said, " Ah, nothing. I just wanted to see if you're fine or not. " he said while looking at her. 

Zhao Ming was speechless when she heard his words. Because it's been only a few minutes and he came to see if she is fine or not? 

' Is she a kid?' 

Wen Ru looked at Ji Cheng and pursed his lips to control his laughter. He could not believe that his indifferent and reserved brother could behave like this around his wife. 

" Ahem, by the way, I wanted to inform you guys that lunch is ready. So should we go now?" Wen Ru said to Ji Cheng and tried to change the atmosphere. 

Zhao Ming nodded as she started to feel hungry and said, " Yes. Let's go." 

Ji Cheng didn't say anything and followed them to the dining room.

Wen Ru led them to a room where he has prepared everything and has turned this empty room into a dining room for them. 

Zhao Ming sat on the chair happily as she was in surprise seeing the luxurious dishes placed on the table. 

There were three meat dishes with sauteed veggies and different types of dumplings and a bowl of noodles for everyone. 

It was a hearty meal and Zhao Ming felt her appetite increasing seeing the aromatic dishes. 

She licked her lips and swallowed in anticipation. She wanted to dig in right away but waited because she cannot start eating before Ji Cheng. 

She picked up her chopsticks and waited for Ji Cheng to start eating the food. 

Ji Cheng looked at Zhao Ming and found her staring at food like she was looking at her lost love and felt strange. 

She was looking at food with love rather than him.

He sighed and felt that his wife could make him feel jealous of food as well. He picked up a piece of meat and placed it in her rice bowl. 

Zhao Ming was surprised when he placed a piece of meat in her bowl. She turned to look at him, when he said, " Try it." 

She looked at him in puzzle because shouldn't he try the dish first? Why was he giving her first? 

He looked at her and said, " It's okay. You don't need to worry about those rules. You're an exception." he said while smiling at her. 

Wen Ru was stunned when he heard his words. He wanted to puke blood hearing his brother's cheesy words. 

' How can he say something cringy?' 

He was feeling quite jealous of Zhao Ming because he never bent the rules for anyone but he did for her. 

Zhao Ming smiled and didn't hesitate further and ate that piece of meat that Ji Cheng placed on her bowl. 

When she placed that piece of meat in her mouth, she couldn't help but fall in love with this dish. 

' How come this meat tastes so good? It is so tender and delicious.' 

She was surprised how come she never ate Chinese dishes in the past and always eats western cuisine. 

After coming to this world, she realized that she was losing a big-time by not eating Chinese food. 

Moreover, the Chinese food tastes more delicious and aromatic in this world rather than hers. Everything is organic and pure, not like her time when people eat instant food rather than real food.
