Chapter 525 - Peaches?

" What are you thinking about?" He asked her when he saw her in a daze.

" Ah? Nothing. This medicine, you want to apply it on my face?"

He nodded and sat beside her. He opened the lid of the small bottle and applied the powder lightly on her face.

" Sss." She flinched in pain because it stung a bit. Even though it was just a slap, since Wen Xu was wearing so many rings, it left scratches on her face.

After applying the medicine on her face, he asked," You haven't had your breakfast yet right? "

She nodded and before she could say anything, Lu shi knocked on the door and she entered after getting Ji Cheng's permission.

She brought another tray of food since the food she has left earlier has become all cold.

"-_-"

Zhao Ming frowned seeing that she again brought the same food. She pursed her lips and turned to look at Ji Cheng and said, " Cheng. I am so tired and hungry. Do you really want me to eat this food which doesn't even have any meat? I want something spicy and meat. " 

She pouted her lips and combined trying to act cutely. 

"-_-"

"-_-"

Lu shi was dumbfounded when she saw Zhao Ming acting like this. Since when her Miss became..like this?

Ji Cheng's cheeks turned red when he saw her making such an adorable face and calling him Cheng so intimately.

He started to remember the last night when she was crying while calling his name. Before that, he never thought that his name can sound so sweet..

" Ahem," he cleared his throat and looked at Lu shi, " Bring the spicy noodles for her and ask the cook to put lots of meat in it. Also, bring some fruit as well. Now you can go."

"-_-"

Lu shi was speechless seeing the way His Majesty complied with Zhao Ming's demands just like that?

She bowed down and left the room leaving the two of them alone.

Zhao Ming was grinning from ear to ear seeing that she could finally eat her favorite noodles.

" Ah...what are...Umm"

Zhao Ming was busy looking towards the door and was smiling proudly at her win when suddenly Ji Cheng turned her head towards him holding her chin.

Before she could react, he placed his lips over her moist lips. They were a little swollen since last night but it made them plumper.

She was surprised when he kissed her and it was not a gentle kiss. It was an urgent and passionate one. 

" Argh." All of a sudden he bit on her lower lip forcing her to open her mouth to give entry to his tongue.

He invaded her mouth wanting to explore her insides fully.

After a few minutes, he separated from the kiss leaving her panting heavily. He didn't remove his lips from hers, instead, he stayed in that position and said against her lips, 

" You're getting too willful, hmm? Do you think I don't know what you were trying to do earlier?

He knows that she was trying to use his weakness by calling him by his first name just to eat her favorite food.

And it indeed worked.

She separated away from him and chuckled looking at his red ears. He was trying to look strong but she knows that he becomes weak when she calls him Cheng.

" What was I trying to do? You know how much I suffered last night. Also, just now, so much happened, I even got slapped on the face. Don't you think I need to eat something delicious to comfort myself? " 

He sighed and nodded, " Yeah. You can eat anything. If you want something else, then you can eat that too. I won't stop you. I know you need something to vent your anger on, and I guess I have to sacrifice myself for that." He said this so casually that for a minute she couldn't catch the hidden meaning behind his words.

But then something hit her when she realized that his words were not that pure that she thought they were.

She pursed her lips and said, " Shameless."

He raised his brows and asked, " You really don't want to eat that? I am sure you will love it." 

"-_-"

How can this man turn into a beast in just one night? Till last night, she had thought that he was like a pure ancient man.

But...what happened to him now?

" Stop it. I can't believe that you became corrupted in just one night."

He narrowed his eyes and said, " What are you talking about? I was talking about peaches. Don't you like peaches ?"

"-_-"

Peaches? When did he talk about peaches?

" What...what peaches? If you were talking about peaches then what about sacrificing yourself and what not?" Her face turned red from embarrassment as she stared at him dumbfoundedly.

.

He blinked his eyes innocently and replied, " I was talking about picking the peaches from the tree myself for you. It will taste more delicious if we picked them ourselves".

"-_-"

She stared at him when she realized that it was she who is more corrupt than him. 

She pursed her lips and said awkwardly, " Ah, really? Haha. I..thought you were talking about something else. Then we..can eat the peaches later."

He pursed his lips when he saw her crimson embarrassed face. 

" What were you thinking about earlier? Hmm?" He teased while grinning from ear to ear.

" Nothing. It was nothing. Ah, why is Lu shi not coming back? I am so hungry here." She changed the topic and looked away from him.

He chuckled and leaned closer to her. She was surprised when he suddenly hugged her.

She felt his hands tightening around her.

"What.."

" Stay like this for a minute."

She pursed her lips and didn't move as she felt his mood was not right.

She patted his back while he hugged her. She knows that he must be feeling uncomfortable about whatever happened earlier.

They stayed like this for a while and no one said anything.
