When she reached the Jin Villa with Yu mei, she started admiring the big Villa.
It is so big but its nothing compared to the palace. But it is so ravis.h.i.+ng and elegant and filled with all modern equipments. But all these things were foreign to Xie Ming or say, Zhao Ming, so she is in awe after seeing such things as TV, fridge, mobile, ma.s.sage chair, and robot vacuum cleaner, everything was so new and amazing that she felt that it"s not bad to live here.
It"s rather convenient for her as she can treat it as her new life. And from her past life, there is nothing good to remember because all it can bring is sorrow and heartache.
After admiring, she went to her room directly as Jin Liwei was in office and even if he was home, there"s nothing to talk to him anyway.
As soon as she reached her room, she slumped on the bed and don"t know when she fell asleep.
In the evening, Jin Liwei came home and the head butler went to greet him and placed his coat on the place. He asked the butler "she came?"
Butler replied," Yes Master, Mistress came in the afternoon and now she is sleeping."
He asked," Still sleeping? "
Butler said" Yes Master."
He went upstairs, to check on her If she is sick or something. And it"s only because he doesn"t want his Grandfather to be worried and "nothing else". When he reached her room, he knocked but n.o.body replied so he opened the door slightly.
When he went inside he saw her on the bed sleeping, with blankets on the ground and she had curled her body like a ball, she was filled with insecurity.
Seeing her like this, anyone can feel pity for her. When he reached to cover her body with a blanket, she started mumbling and crying, though he couldn"t understand what she was saying after seeing her crying pitifully, his heart ached.
He went to touch her forehead to smoothen the lines, and when he touched her forehead he felt her skin is smooth and it was the first time he was watching her so close.
He thought to himself," Without makeup, she looks beautiful and while sleeping she looks just like a fairy".
Unconsciously, his fingers slide from her forehead to her nose and it landed on her lips.
"Her lips were like pink roses, soft and plump" ". The thought came to his mind that what would it feel if he kissed her, what will it taste like? As he was thinking while stroking her lips, she suddenly opened her eyes and caught his hands.
He was caught off guard and to hide his awkwardness he said, " why are you still sleeping? It"s evening and you"re still sleeping. Everyone is waiting for you downstairs. Are you some princess to make everyone wait on you. So lazy.."
She was stunned, and as she just woke up, she can"t comprehend his words and actions and technically speaking she is not "Princess" but "Empress", though unwanted but still.
In the hierarchy, she is far above from him and this mere commoner has guts to talk to "Empress" like this.
Before she could say anything, he turned and went out of the room and slammed the door shut.
While going downstairs, he mumbled to himself, "her craziness is affecting me. I am started getting hallucinations. I must be crazy to think she is beautiful and her lips are kissable. But what has those pink lips has done. She is crazy but the lips were innocent."
And at this point, he suddenly regained his composure and said to himself, " I must go to the psychiatrist, her craziness is affecting me. Definitely."
In the room, Xie Ming stared at the door, which was slammed to shut just now. She recalled his actions while sleeping she felt that someone was caressing her face.
She felt ticklish, that"s why she opened her eyes. But upon opening her eyes, she saw him staring at her in a daze and his finger was on her lips.
Thinking about it, she felt her cheeks burning. She touched them to reduce the heat from her cheeks.
She then shook her head to remove all the impure thoughts from her mind.
" I should remain focused. I am Zhao Ming, not XIe Ming. I should behave myself. I am the Empress." she told herself.
