Zhao Ming looked at the old man in front of her with a complicated gaze. She doesn't know how to start the conversation and how to ask him if he knows that she is not Zhao Ming?

  She bit her lower lip and pursed her lips tightly as she looked at him.?Master Li looked at her with blank expressions and stared into her eyes.

  Then his lips curled up in a mocking smile and asked, " What do you want to ask?"?Zhao Ming was surprised seeing his mocking smile.

  She could feel that this man knew something but was provoking her.?She frowned and pursed her lips tightly, " What do you know about me? Why did you said earlier that I can't forget my memories because I don't have one?" she just asked directly when she saw that there is no reason in playing with words with him.

  The old man raised his brows at her and asked, " What do you think? Why would I have said those? "?Zhao Ming felt annoyed seeing his provoking smile and the way he was dodging her questions.

  Because of his behavior, she became more adamant to know about the truth.?She walked up to him and stood in front of him," You know about me? Right? If know about me then why didn't you said everything to Ji Cheng?"? she asked him with her back straightened and chest puffed up, chin up and head straight.

  She used her perfect runway posture and try to look intimidating.

  For a moment, Master Li was surprised seeing her behaving this way then he burst out in laughter as he asked, " Do you think that your childish tricks will work on me?" he looked at her as his expressions grimmed.

  Zhao Ming was taken aback with his sarcastic and provoking statement. She pursed her lips as her expressions furrowed.

  She took a deep breath and hung her head down," You know that I am not Zhao Ming. Right?" her voice was low and was slightly trembling.

  Her head was hung down so he couldn't see her expressions, but her voice was dull and was trembling.

  Master Li's expressions turned serious as he looked at the girl in front of him who was dressed in a gown which was not too extravagant and was different from her status as an Empress.

  But her aura and charisma make her look powerful and beautiful. She was perfect for the role of Empress.

  He turned around with his hands on his back and walked towards the chair in the room.

  When Zhao Ming didn't heard anything she raised her head and looked at the man who just walked off to sit on the chair in the room. She watched him roaming in the room and finally settling on the chair.

  He flipped his large robe back and easily sat on the chair.

  Zhao Ming stared at him and the way he sat down was very interesting and stylish. She never thought that an old man can be so charismatic.

  Master Li sat on the chair and looked at the expressions on Zhao Ming's face and said with a eerie smile on his face, " Can you see the word STUPID written on my face? You think that you can fool me with your acting weak and emotional?"

  He looked at her in mocking when he completed her words and sat while crossing his legs which made him look intimidating and domineering.

  Zhao Ming was shocked. She stared at the old man in confusion and admiration. She was confused as how he knew that she was acting? She has fooled many people in this palace since she came into this world.

  She thought that she was a pro in this field and can make anyone do whatever she wants just by crying.

  She has seen Xie Xinyi in her past life and in their last argument Xinyi became victim and she became villain just because Xinyi shed some crocodile tears.

  She has witnessed and realised that even if she is strong, there is nothing wrong in pretending to be weak.

  Sometimes, you will get what you want if you show your weakness to people and gain their sympathy.

  This was the kind of trick that she can make another person do what she want by crying. So she has used this skill at many events.

  She also cried a few times in front of Wen Xu to gain Ji Cheng's sympathy and show how much she had to tolerate the Empress Dowager.

  If she were to deal with the so called her mother in law then she needs to control her mother's son that is Ji Cheng.

  If she convinced him that she was weak and needs his protection from his mother and Xiao Li, then his heart will soften and will protect her. She is not like Zhao Ming who will silently take all the humiliation and taunts just to protect the relationship between mother and son.

  Because she is not kind like Zhao Ming. She was selfish brat who only cares about her motives.

  She didn't? love anyone but herself because she doesn't have anyone to worry for her other than herself. If she didn't care about her than who will?

  She was not a mother teresa who will take all the bullsh*t from Wen Xu and Xiao Li and then pretend that nothing happened. …… Zhao Ming was surprised that he didn't get into her emotional trap but could figure out that she was acting and was not crying for real.

  But after getting exposed she looked at him and smiled awkwardly.

  Whereas Master Li scooted seeing her smiling like a fool.

  " You're good."

  " eh? What do you mean?" Zhao Ming was surprised when she heard Master Li's words.

  " You're good at manipulating people. You're not as innocent like Zhao Ming that's why you're more suitable for this place." he said while looking straight into her eyes.

  Zhao Ming was stunned and surprised when she heard his words.

  She just stared at him with her slightly opened mouth and looked at him in disbelief.

  " So you know… " she mumbled in a low voice as she stared at his face.

  " Yes. I know. I came here because I want to see you with my own eyes, our new Empress." a light smile plastered on his face as he completed his words.

  Zhao Ming pursed her lips and asked again, " So do you know how I came into this world or do you know from where I came? Can you send me back? "

  "Is there any way that I can go back to my world? Can you help me? Please." she asked him or practically begged him.

  She was desperate to go back to her world because everything seems very unreal and there was nothing to admire about this world.

  Though in this place she has plenty amounts of gold and expensive jewelry, but in the end, she was left with nothing.

  Her life is boring without her luxuries and her phone.

  Though she was trying to adjust in this world, but she will still prefer that world more. At least, she won't be in danger all the time unlike here where everyone was waiting her to step down from the position of the Empress.

  The man raised his brows and looked at her, " Why do want to go back? Do you have anyone there waiting for you? Do you have family? Or do you miss anyone?"

  Zhao Ming was stunned when she heard his words.

  After hearing his words, she fell into contemplation as she stared at him in bewilderment.

  She opened her mouth to say something but no words came out. It's true that she didn't have anything to wait for her.

  Her father never cared about her while Liwei… he must be happy with Zhao Ming. She knows that he never liked her and her temperament which caused them fight everytime.

  But Zhao Ming was different. She was elegant, intelligent, and more importantly she was kind and does not have a foul personality like her.

  Moreover, she does not miss them because she was emotionally attached with them, it's just… She was missing her comfortable lifestyle.

  " If you had someone waiting for you out there or had some heart strings attached with someone than you wouldn't have come into this world."

  " It was your choice to come here. So why are you asking me to help you go back?" the man stated as he ask her a question with a blank expression on his face.

  " -_- " Zhao Ming was speechless when she heard his words.

  " My choice? " she asked in confusion.

  The man nodded at her as if answering her question. No matter what, she can't remember anything. She remembered seeing Zhao Ming and talking to her but after that everything was pitch black and she could not remember anything.
