Chapter 735 - The Curse (10)

Chapter 735 - The Curse (10)

Zhao Ming was lying on the couch in the living room with her head rested supported by her hand and was munching on the caramel popcorn while waiting for Ji Cheng and Xie Ming to come downstairs.

She has eaten three cakes and two coffee while Ji Cheng and Xie Ming were upstairs and talking. She doesn't know what's taking them so long but now she is getting impatient.

She needs to change her clothes but Yu Mei was so adamant and was not letting her go upstairs to change until Xie Ming comes downstairs and allows her to do so.

" Yu Mei, at least start preparing for dinner. It's 7 pm already. I am hungry." Zhao Ming shouted while Yu Mei who was impatiently looking upstairs was picking up the dishes that she had emptied, frowned, and snapped at her, " You say hungry? Who just had cakes and two cups of coffee and now was shamelessly eating these popcorns? You're hungry again? Are you a monster or what?" She scoffed.

She was here getting worried about Xie Ming since she was alone with that strange man in the room and here this girl was ordering her to bring her something every 15 minutes.

Zhao Ming yawned, ignoring her nagging, she said, " Yu Mei, you have become quite lazy now, huh? You were not like this before. You used to do everything I say. But now you're showing me your true attitude. Seems like Zha... Xie Ming has spoilt you so much." she commented making Yu Mei knit her brows in irritation.

She was meeting this girl for the first time and she was acting as if she works for her for years. Who is she to order her? Even Xie Ming doesn't even order her like this.

'Hmph! That's why no one can match up to my Miss.'

After Yu Mei left, Zhao Ming turned to look towards the main door and saw Liwei entering the house with his black briefcase. She raised her brows and sat up to welcome her so-called 'ex-husband'.

She smirked seeing that he was still dressed in his check pattern dark grey three-piece suit.

' At least I won't be bored anymore.' she stretched her hand and stood up and walked towards him with a confident smile on her lips.

" Aiya, Look who is here? Mr. Liwei, long time no see!" She stood in front of him, startling him, and waved at him.

Liwei who just entered the house and was checking the messages on his phone was startled to see the unknown woman blocking his way and was waving at him. He frowned seeing her strange attire and messy appearance. Her clothes were dirty, her hair was messy and damp.

He looked around to see if he was in the right place or not. There was no one in the living room other than the two, which deepened his frown.

" Who are you? And how did you enter the house?" He asked coldly while glaring at her.

"...."

Zhao Ming pursed her lips seeing his attitude and scoffed, " What kind of glare is that? Do you think that I am some thief or beggar?"

He didn't say anything, affirming her words. He looked down at her and tsked at her appearance. Zhao Ming pursed her lips and looked down at her, following his gaze.

She pursed her lips and blinked her eyes realizing that her condition was indeed not good. No doubt why Yu Mei was treating her so strangely. Her clothes were dirty and muddy since they were in the hot spring earlier and dust was stuck to her clothes since after getting out of the water, they had to hide at weird places.

She coughed lightly, embarrassed at her appearance but raised her chin at him and said arrogantly, " So what If I look like this? My appearance can never reduce my importance Mr. Jin Liwei." she said while smiling arrogantly making him frown.

' Why do these words sound so familiar?' He wondered where he had heard before.

Before he could think about anything, Zhao Ming leaned in and whispered in his ears in a low voice, " What? Can't remember? Then let me give you another hint."

" I am...the person you used to hate the most. Now, remember?"

He frowned as he couldn't understand what she was saying.

" Liwei, how can you forget your loving wife?" Zhao Ming whispered in his ears, making him shiver at her scarily low voice.

He looked at her with his eyes widened and tried to process his thoughts. His wife? Isn't it Xie MIng? But this girl is not Xie Ming, she is someone else…

His hands trembled when he looked at Zhao Ming's attire. Traditional clothes, wife…..He remembered Xie Ming's words when she told him that the real Xie Ming went to her world and was now living as the Empress of Ji Dynasty.

' It's not true right?'

His lips parted in horror as he couldn't help but stare at her face that was unfamiliar to him but her tone and words….were very familiar.

" You... You're...not what I am thinking, right? You're my illusion, right?" He asked nervously and stepped back in fear as if he had seen some ghost.

Zhao Ming, who was smiling earlier frowned at his extremely shocked expressions, " Oh come on Liwei, don't act like a scaredy-cat. I am not a ghost then why are you all acting as if you have seen one? I am sad that rather than being happy to see me again, you're afraid." she pouted at him.

He frowned upon hearing her words. What's wrong with her? He was surprised that even though she was as sarcastic as before but her comments were not hateful and she seemed to be a different person than before.

Before she used to get angry at the small things and was easily irritable but her personality became brighter than before. However, this does not change the fact that he was glad to meet her.

After looking at her in a daze, he looked around for Xie Ming. If she is here, then what about his Xie Ming? She will not go back right?

Fear started to grow in his heart, thinking that something had happened to Xie Ming, he started shouting to look for her and shouted while looking around, " Xie Ming. Xie Ming."

Zhao Ming, who was standing in front of him, frowned when he suddenly started shouting. She closed her ears and shouted, interrupting him, " Argh...why are you shouting the minute you entered the house? Don't worry. She didn't go anymore. She is fine and was in your study" she assured coldly while glaring at him in irritation.

" You're so shameless, Liwei. Your wife is standing in front of you and you're looking for someone else. Not fair." she shook her head in disappointment while crossing her hands in front of her chest.

Liwei frowned upon hearing her words. She is still the same shameless Xie Ming. He chuckled and responded, "Who's my wife? You're not my wife anymore. You're not Xie MInng anymore, remember?"

She pursed her lips and said, " Aren't you too chill even after knowing that I am Xie Ming? Shouldn't you be worried and confused or angry?" she asked due to curiosity.

When Ji Cheng found out about the truth, he was angry and wasn't ready to hear anything from her. Whereas Liwei was surprised for a moment but he was not as shocked as she had imagined.

'Since when Mr. President learned to control his emotions?' she wondered while looking at him with interest.

She was waiting for him to answer when she heard a voice coming from behind, " Liwei!" Xie Ming called out and she descended from the stairs while Ji Cheng slowly followed her.

She didn't say anything but she didn't turn around to see them coming downstairs either. Looking at them together will only give her pain and nothing else.
