Ji Cheng who was gazing at her beautiful orbit like eyes was caught off guard when she suddenly bent down her head a little and kissed his Adam apple on his neck.

  He felt shivers from her actions and his body felt like it was placed on the heater. His hand behind her back trembled a little as she suddenly kissed his neck.

  When her rose plump moist lips touched his skin it made him shiver and the feeling was very sensual and different.

  The more surprising thing was the look in her eyes. He has never seen this kind of look in her eyes. At this moment, she seems like another person.

  Though he never has spent much time with her, however, it was the very first time that he has seen this kind of glint in her eyes.

  He was surprised when she suddenly kissed his Adam apple and when he felt her scorching breath on his neck, he stopped moving his Adam apple and held his breath.

  He became so nervous that he held his breath and his mouth was slightly open in disbelief.

  Zhao Ming was also surprised when she suddenly kissed him but when her lips touched his neck, she could feel his skin which was slightly rough and manly.

  She was also shocked by her actions. The realization hit her hard when she could feel the heat emanating from his body and she abruptly stood up to get off the bed.

  Ji Cheng: " -_-"

  In that process, she almost fell off the bed however she didn't let him hold her again and swiftly got off the bed.

  Ji Cheng who was nervous and was about to tighten his hold around her waist was surprised when she suddenly shook his hand away and got off the bed.

  Everything happened so quickly that he didn't get the time to react and she swiftly got off the bed and turned her back against him.

  Zhao Ming turned around her back to him when she got off as she was too embarrassed to face him now. Her face has turned scarlet red and her hands were trembling.

  Her face was burning because of her rash actions and she closed her eyes in embarrassment when she remembered how she kissed him on his Adam apple.

  Kissing a man on his neck for the first time seems more bold and weird than kissing him on the lips.

  It would not be much issue if she has kissed him on his lips at that time because the mood was perfect for it but she kissed his Adam apple.

  The neck was a very sensitive part of a human body and the senses become stronger especially towards any sensual act.

  When she kissed his neck, she could feel his body getting hot and the little thing which was poking the side of her waist.

  Though she didn't get to see it herself, however, she could guess what it could be. That's why she abruptly got off the bed without looking at him before things got heated.

  If things went forward and she wouldn't be able to stop this because it was her who started all this. That's why she stopped it before it turned into an R-rated movie.

  She came here not to live here permanently and she wanted to know why and how she came here so that she can go back to her world.

  She does not want to live in a place that was full of hatred and hypocrite people. Though she would miss a few people like Lu shi who supported her every time and her nagging.

  Feng Ju who always respected her and always did what she asked to do. Those two little girls whom Ji Cheng appointed them as her maids and they were very cute and polite to her.

  And the last but not the least, Ji Cheng. She can't judge him based on Zhao Ming's opinion of him because he never behaved wrongly with her. She does not have Zhao Ming's memories either so she could not feel any love or hatred for him. There is no reason for her to hate him.

  For Xie Ming, Ji Cheng was the only man who truly supported her and cared for her while she stayed in this palace. So there is no way she could forget him.

  Many things were going in her mind as she stood there frozen with her back facing Ji Cheng. She facepalmed herself to cool down her burning face which has become red from embarrassment.

  She was flustered because of her actions and her heart was beating crazily making it difficult for her to breathe. She was also worried that she cannot continue this thing.

  If she mistakenly developed feelings for Ji Cheng than it would be very hard for her when she returns to her world. Because they do not live in different countries so that they can travel a long distance just to see each other.

  It's about a different world and timeline. She is a girl from the 21st century while this world exists hundreds of years ago. There is no way she could come and go casually on her will.

  She still needs to find the reason for her being here and needs to return to her world. This world is not as simple as it looks.

  Everything and everyone here is so luxurious on the surface but their hearts were filled with jealousy, hatred, and pretense. She hates this kind of attitude of people and the most annoying thing is, she cannot behave like herself.

  She had to be polite to them, needs to pretend to respect them that she can't do. She could not be polite and respectful to those people who have a black heart but the golden image on the surface.

  Xie Ming does not pretend to be the person that she isn't. She speaks her mind and does not care what other people think of her.

  This habit of her led to many fights and that is why she got the title of, " arrogant bi*ch" in her world. However, she believes that speaking on the face is better than bi*ching behind someone's back.

  But in this world, she has to hide her true bi*chy personality and had to behave more rationally and speak in rounds. She cannot say her words directly but had to sugar coat her words many times so that she won't make loads of enemies.

  However, her sugar-coated sarcastic words were enough to make people against her. She doesn't care what people think about her as long as they don't think to kill her.

  She doesn't want to die in this world as well. It would be very pitiful if she dies in this world as well.

  She was standing in the same place while taking deep breaths and thinking of many things and possibilities if she went back to her world.

  Ji Cheng who was shocked seeing the unexpected behavior of Zhao Ming sat on the bed and saw her standing in the same place for a while.

  He has no idea why she suddenly stood up when she was the one who kissed him. She was the one who ignited the fire inside him and left him half burned.

  He looked at her back and could see her facepalming herself and her cherry red earlobes were visible from behind and he could assume that she was being shy and embarrassed.

  His lips curled upwards as a smile plastered on his face. He lightly touched his neck, where she kissed him with her soft peachy lips.

  He could still feel the softness that he felt at that moment. It was soft and moist which made his whole body shudder on her touch.

  He didn't say anything and just saw her from behind and her silly actions. She just stood there for a long time while thinking about something and making different hand gestures. He chuckled lightly seeing her silly behavior.

  'Since when she became so adorable and silly? '

  Seeing her like this, it feels like that he was looking at the 10-year-old Zhao Ming whom he had seen her for the first time.

  Her bright smiling eyes which make him feel the warmth in this cold Palace. She was little and was trying to catch the colorful butterflies in the garden with her little hands when he saw her for the first time.

  It's been so long since he had seen her behaving so openly without any restraints.

  ' Zhao Ming, I will protect you this time. I promise I won't let you this time. Just…… Give me one last chance to make up to you and save our relationship.' his eyes dimmed when he remembered all the past events and the pain that she has suffered.

  There is no way he can rewind the time and fix all the things and mistakes that he had done in the past. What he can do now is to not let her down again.

  He wants to fix his mistakes and wants to give the love and care that she deserves.
