After talking to Ji Cheng in the study room, Xie Ming was coming downstairs while Ji Cheng followed her and couldn't help but think about her words that she just said.
He never thought that he will ever get to see this kind of side of Zhao Ming in his life ever. There was no warmth in her eyes and she talked as if she was talking to a stranger. However, her words were stuck in his head.
'Never take someone's feelings for granted. '
He has always thought that Zhao Ming is his wife and will always remain by his side but the strange turn of events has changed everything. Upon seeing Zhao Ming happy with her current life, he was not sure what he exactly wanted. The time he spent with Zhao Ming was the happiest time of his life, but later he found out that the woman he loved, was not his Zhao Ming but someone else.
The feeling of betrayal was bigger than any emotions he could feel at that moment. Immersed in that feeling, he forgot that he was happy and opened his heart to her like nothing. The feelings, the love that was hidden in some corner of his heart, he laid everything in front of her.
Upon hearing Xie Ming's words, he was now skeptical and confused about his feelings even more. He doesn't know what to feel about this whole strange situation.
When Xie Ming was descending the stairs, she noticed that Liwei was standing in the living room and was talking to Zhao Ming. She saw him smiling and laughing while talking to Zhao Ming which made her frown.
She pursed her lips seeing the real Xie Ming getting along well with Liwei. For a moment, she got scared thinking if Xie Ming insisted on changing back their bodies and wants to get back their original lives, then what will she do?
She pursed her lips and took a deep breath before saying, " Liwei." She called his name and walked to him while Ji Cheng followed her with his steady steps.
Liwei who was looking at Zhao Ming got surprised when he heard Xie Ming calling his name which sounded as sweet as ever. He smiled and let out a breath in relief as he said, " Xie Ming, thank god you're fine. I got so worried when I saw this 'crazy woman' in the living room." he complained while pointing at Zhao Ming who raised her brows at him seeing him acting like a gossipy kid.
Xie Ming couldn't help but chuckle seeing Liwei complaining like this. She was worried about his reaction when he finds out about Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng's arrival, but it seems like he took Zhao Ming's arrival in a good way.
" Why didn't you call me earlier? You must have gotten scared seeing this strange woman here, right?" He asked while caressing Xie Ming's cheek in worry.
"...."
Zhao Ming couldn't help but scoff at seeing Liwei acting cute to Xie Ming while complaining about her. Did he forget that it is her real face that he is caressing?
" Liwei, stop caressing my face with those dirty hands of yours." Zhao Ming said, interrupting Liwei's words making him frown.
" First of all, it's not your face anymore. Don't act like a jealous person, " he commented making her chuckle in disbelief. She can't believe that he is acting cute in front of Xie Ming.
The man who is the President of Jin Corporation and is almost 30 was acting like a kid.
" Liwei, stop it, otherwise I will not hesitate to punch you in the face. It's gross, " she said seriously, at which Liwei frowned and pulled Xie Ming closed and hugged her by the shoulder in front of her and flaunted her.
" I will do anything to her. She is my wife." He announced, not noticing the existence of the figure who was standing in the corner quietly after he came downstairs.
Ji Cheng pursed his lips seeing Liwei holding Xie Ming by her shoulders while talking to Zhao Ming happily who also seemed to be happy. She was not at least frowning like she does when she is with him these days.
Liwei who was talking to Zhao Ming suddenly noticed the other person standing in the corner, beside the pillar who was looking at them with his sad eyes. The man was wearing a dark blue traditional outfit and even he was just standing, there was a strange kind of powerful aura around him which made him look at the man in a daze.
He glanced at Xie Ming in surprise and asked, " This man... who is he?" He asked, wondering if he is also from the past, who came with Zhao Ming.
Although he doesn't know anything about Zhao Ming who came back to this world and how, however, everything is fine unless Xie Ming doesn't need to go back. He doesn't want to be separated from her even if it is for a day.
Xie Ming, who forgot about the presence of Ji Cheng frowned and looked in the direction where Liwei was looking. She pursed her lips and glanced at Zhao Ming, wondering what to say about who he is?
Zhao Ming sighed and turned around to look at Ji Cheng and raised her brows before saying, " He? He is your love rival. Mr. Liwei, you need to buckle up and keep your game straight if you don't want to lose your woman." she said in french at which Xie Ming could only raise brows since she didn't understand what she was talking about.
She understood that she was speaking in French since she had learned a bit but she stopped learning after she got the movie. Other than knowing the names of the food dishes, she doesn't know anything else.
However, seeing Liwei's shocked expressions, she was curious about what Zhao Ming just said.
Liwei looked at Zhao Ming with his eyes widened and looked at the man again, trying to register the words he just heard.
" He... he... also from that world?" he asked in french as well. Xie Ming frowned and wondered what they were talking about that they don't want them to understand. On the other hand, Ji Cheng was also looking at them in confused and bewildered expressions, not understanding what kind of language they were speaking.
Zhao Ming glanced at Ji Cheng and turned to Liwei and nodded, confirming his doubts, " This man is the mighty Emperor of Ji Dynasty. Do you think that a mere President of a company can deal with the Emperor who manages the whole dynasty? Hmm?" she asked in french while raising her brows, provoking him.
Liwei pursed his lips, remembering what Xie Ming had told him earlier about this man. He knows that Xie Ming used to love this man but he only treated her badly and let her be tortured by everyone to the point that she lost her confidence and became a weak-willed person.
However, Zhao Ming's words that he is an Emperor pressured him. He is Emperor after all, and he is just the President of his company.
" Do you think I am scared of him? But... do you think he will kill me for not following his orders?" Liwei asked, still speaking in french, and glared at the man with his dark, hostile glare.
Zhao Ming chuckled and said, " What a coward. You should be a man and announce confidently that Xie Ming (Zhao Ming) is your woman. How can you act like a scaredy-cat in front of an Emperor who has no power in this world?" she taunted, making him frown at her.
" Liwei, what are you guys talking about? I also want to know." Xie Ming asked, interrupting them as she wants to know what they keep saying in the foreign language.
He glanced at her and shook his head, " It's nothing. She was just telling me that he is some... Prince of Xi Dynasty." he said.
Zhao Ming shakes her head and corrects him, " It's Emperor, not Prince. Secondly, it's Ji dynasty, not Xi dynasty. Did you even understand correctly what I was talking about?" she asked in annoyance.
