Zhao Ming hesitantly walked to the surface where the guard was standing while Ji Cheng followed her reluctantly, glaring at the guard with hostility.

  The guard frowned at the two people who were dressed strangely in traditional outfits and even though the guy was handsome and looked like an idol, his clothes and all those gold jewelry make him seem like a country bumpkin.

  " All this must be fake." he scoffed. Who would in their right mind go into the water, wearing precious rings and ornaments? The guy was wearing more ornaments than the woman who looked as if they were coming out of the theatre.

  " Did you guys read the notice of the hot spring ban or not?" He said while pointing towards the notice board which was behind him.

  Zhao Ming looked at the notice board and pursed her lips. "It's not that we were asked to choose the place to land here," she murmured, making the guard even more annoyed.

  " What did you say? Anyway, what are your room numbers? You came to the hot spring, so you must be guests here, aren't you?" he asked coldly.

  Zhao Ming frowned seeing the guard speaking arrogantly to them. He didn't know that they were guests in the hotel or not and was shouting like this. She would have complained about him by now but unfortunately, she was stuck in a very bad situation.

  ' I can't believe that I am being interrogated by a mere guard here.' she sighed seeing her degrading reputation.

  Ji Cheng frowned at the tone of the guard towards Zhao Ming. But he couldn't understand what he was asking for.

  " Erm……room numbers? Of course, we have our room booked here. But I forgot the keys in the room and don't remember the room number." she laughed embarrassedly.

  The guard frowned and was about to snap at her when she started, " Also, what kind of customer service is this? Even though we were not allowed to use the hot springs, however, does that give you the right to treat your guests however you want?

  " When we came here, you weren't even at your duty. It was your responsibility to take care of the hot spring but you went out and left it without any watch and you're shouting at us? Call your manager, let me complain against you. I can't believe that you're treating us as a trespasser." she said while raising her voice and threw her hands in the air dramatically.

  The guard was also caught off guard seeing the woman which looked quiet and gentle till now, suddenly started spouting the fire from her mouth. He looked around, afraid that the manager might come, and saw the whole drama.

  Ji Cheng looked at Zhao Ming who was shouting with a frown as he couldn't understand why she was acting so dramatically. He stared at the notice board behind the guard which was in Chinese but many words were unfamiliar and alien to him. However, the guard was speaking just how Zhao Ming used to speak when she woke up from the state of being unconscious.

  He didn't say anything and just stared at Zhao Ming carefully who was arguing with the guard and kept remembering her words where she said that it's her world-

  " Why aren't you calling your manager? Call him here. Let me complain about your policies. We came here for two days yet we can't use Hot spring? It's so unfair." she went on.

  " Madam, please calm down. I didn't mean to be rude. I was just doing my duty. Please calm down. Please don't call the manager." The guard said nervously, seeing the dominant side of the woman.

  This is a five-star hotel and he has seen many crumpy guests who had complained against the workers and more than 5 complaints can lead to the expulsion of that worker. He already had 4 complaints against him, if this woman complained, then he will lose this job.

  Zhao Ming smirked seeing the guard's attitude changing and nodded at him while flipping her wet hair back, " Okay. I am letting you go for now, but don't treat other guests like this again."

  " Honey, let's go. I want to go back to our room." Zhao Ming hugged Ji Cheng's arm and pulled him to go upstairs with us.

  Ji Cheng frowned but followed her anyway.

  " Wait a minute-

  Zhao Ming froze when she heard the guard's words.

  " Madam, the building is in this direction. Also, didn't you say that you forgot your keys in your room? Just tell me your floor and let me get a spare key for you." He asked politely.

  "-_-"

  She laughed awkwardly and looked towards the way the guard gestured. " I was about to turn to that side. I just……wanted to look at those leaves."

  " You don't need to bother about it. I will ask someone else to get me the key. You……just check the hot spring area." She said while trying to get away from the situation.

  " Madam, please allow me to help you? Just tell me your name and floor number and I will get your keys."

  She pursed her lips and before she could say anything, Ji Cheng spoke coldly, " Didn't she say that we will ask someone else? You should just do your duty that you were assigned to."

  "Also, drinking while on your duty is not ethical. Do you know that serious actions can be taken against you? If you were working for me, you would have been thrown out of the palace long ago for your rudeness." He said while glaring at the man coldly.

  Zhao Ming turned to look at Ji Cheng and glared at him, trying to shut up his mouth. ' This man is gonna make me go to jail if this continues. This Emperor syndrome is not gonna leave him so easily.'

  The guard was caught off guard when the man pointed about him drinking at the duty. He thought that a little won't hurt and no one is going to find out, but this man has the nose of a dog.

  He even chewed gum on his way back to not make it noticeable but this man found out. If it was found out that he was drinking on duty, he would be done for.

  He gulped in nervousness and seeing his expressions Zhao Ming beamed and started again, "Argh,……Now I get it, you were drunk and putting all the fault on us. Honey, let's go. And you……you stay here and guard the hot spring area. Don't follow us. I don't like people like you who drink during their duty. Don't you dare miss your work again and use us as excuses! If you talk to us or about us to anyone, I am gonna complain against you to the manager." she said while glaring at the guard.

  The guard looked at the woman with his eyes widened and waved his hands in denial, " I won't follow you. You……can go. Just don't complain to the manager." the man pleaded.

  She nodded and walked off while hugging Ji Cheng's arm tightly and grinned proudly. " My charm is still intact," she murmured while Ji Cheng just gazed at her in confusion.
