Yu Mei was cleaning the dining table and kept glancing at Zhao Ming who was plopping strawberries one by one in her mouth and was treating it as her home.
Although she has paid the driver, she couldn't help but wonder why she paid the driver when she doesn't even know this woman. She was not sure if this woman was really acquainted with Xie Ming or are they just some swindlers?
They are wearing strange clothes and the handsome man but was wearing strange ancient clothes and keeps looking around the house with his eyes widened as if they will jump out of their sockets.
The woman not only knows Xie Ming's name but her as well. However, she doesn't have any memory of seeing this woman in the past. But for some reason, this woman's personality is too intimidating and familiar that she couldn't help but do whatever she tells her to do.
She tried to call Xie Ming but her phone was switched off and Liwei was in a meeting so she couldn't get through to him either.
' I wish Miss and Master could come early. ' she sighed in worry.

Zhao Ming who was eating strawberries glanced at Ji Cheng who was sitting with his back straight on the sofa and was looking around warily. His brows were knitted and she could feel that he was not adjusted to see the strange things around him.
She can understand his feelings very well since she has felt the same when she first woke up in the Ji Dynasty. But he should be glad that he is in his body and not someone else's...
" You want some?" she offered strawberries while sliding the bowl to his side.
He glanced at the strawberries and shook his head, " No. I don't eat anything unless it has been made by a palace chef and checked by Feng Ju."
She frowned hearing his words. Previously when they used to go out of the palace, he never cared about such things with her and ate whatever she offered him to eat. But now he needs to check everything?
She pursed her lips and stared at him with bitterness in her eyes. After a few moments, she scoffed and said, " They're not poisonous. And who will poison you? You're not even worthy of being poisoned here." she commented sarcastically and pulled back the bowl to her side.
He frowned upon hearing her comments. Since the moment they have arrived in this world, she has been acting as if she is the queen here and he is a mere servant. She wasn't even keeping the basic etiquette towards him and kept making sarcastic remarks.
Just because it's her world, she was showing him her true colors.

" Yu Mei, I am going upstairs to change. I can't stay anymore in these wet clothes." Zhao Ming stood up and walked towards the stairs but was stopped by Yu Mei.
" Where are you going?" Yu Mei's eyes widened upon hearing her words and stopped her way.
" Upstairs." she pointed towards upstairs. Her room was upstairs and she wanted to change out of these clothes. She waited for long enough for Xie Ming to come back but she did not come back.
" You can't do that."
" Of course I can. You should go and prepare something to eat for us. I am hungry." she said and tried to pass through her but Yu Mei didn't budge and let her go upstairs.
Zhao Ming frowned seeing her acting so stubborn, " Yu Mei, do you know with whom you're talking to?"
" I don't care whoever you are. But I can't let you upstairs until Miss allows you to, " she said sternly.
'F*ck. I am your Miss damn it. ' Zhao Ming pursed her lips while glaring at her.
" What's happening here?" Yu Mei who was staring at Zhao Ming sternly, her eyes lit up when she heard the familiar voice. She looked behind Zhao Ming and smiled seeing Xie Ming who just came back from the hospital and was still holding her bag.
" Miss, you came back." she walked to Xie Ming who was looking at her in confusion.
Xie Ming who came early to prepare a special dinner for Liwei was surprised to see Yu Mei arguing with a woman who was insisting on going upstairs and was clad in traditional clothes, just how she used to wear at the palace.
She didn't notice the man who was standing on the corner and was staring at her with stirring emotions in his eyes.
-
" Yu Mei, what's wrong? Who is she?" Xie Ming asked while hinting towards the woman who had her back to her.
" Miss, she said that she knows you and Master and was waiting for you guys to come back. She even made me pay for her taxi as well. Not only that, she was insisting to change clothes upstairs." she complained while holding her hand tightly.
Xie Ming pursed her lips and stared at the woman who wasn't even turning around to face her.
" Who are you? And... why would you want to go and check someone else's bedroom? Even family members don't intrude on our privacy like that. ?Will you tell me how close we are for you to go to our bedroom when we're not at home?" Xie Ming asked as she walked towards the woman and stood behind her.
Zhao Ming who had her hands crossed in front of her chest smirked hearing her words. Interesting. She has met her in that strange place where they both were trapped, however, she couldn't help but feel strange upon meeting her in the house which used to be hers in the past.
She smirked and finally opened her mouth to say, " Because it's my house." she said in a low voice which made Xie Ming frown.
Xie Ming pursed her lips and was getting impatient seeing the woman's attitude and before she could do anything, the woman turned around which made her freeze in her spot.
"...."
Xie Ming's eyes widened seeing Zhao Ming standing in front of her. Even though she was in Xie Ming's body, she still remembered her old face, appearance very well. How can she forget how she used to look in the past?f𝙧𝙚e𝘄𝐞𝚋ｎoѵel - 🅽🅽novel
"Zh... Zhao Ming? No, I... mean... Xie Ming?" she said in a low quivering voice.
Zhao Ming smirked and said, " BINGO!"
Xie Ming felt her head getting light and started to feel dizzy with the turnout of the things. How can she be here? Does it mean that they have to change their bodies now? What is the meaning of this?
" Miss." Yu Mei was surprised by the way Xie Ming's complexion turned pale and she almost fell but she managed to hold her in time.
" Woo, calm down girl. I am not a ghost then why are you acting as if you have seen one." Zhao Ming held her shoulder and rubbed lightly to wake her up from her daze.
"Zhao Ming!"
Xie Ming who was being held by Yu Mei shivered when he heard the familiar voice which was extremely gentle but it sent shivers to her spine making her afraid to turn around and confirm her doubts.
'It can't be. '
