Zhao Ming's expressions turned serious and her lips quivered as she was not sure what to say.

Aside from Shen Jia, she has asked this question many times to herself. But does she have the right to decide?

She took a deep breath and said while hesitating, "I..I don't know. I feel comfortable living here. Aside from a lack of technologies, everything here is to my liking. Moreover...I..like Ji Cheng. I can't deny the fact that I have fallen for him."

Her eyelashes turned moist as she replied with her trembling lips, " I want to stay here but what about Ji Cheng? He likes Zhao Ming. Even though I am her reincarnation, I can't change the fact that I am not Zhao Ming. Since the day I came here, he treats me as Zhao Ming. "

Zhao Ming bit her lower lip as she continued after a pause, " Zhao Ming died and went to my body. She is happy in that world but she is unaware of the feelings that Ji Cheng had for her. "

" She died thinking that Ji Cheng hates her, and made her life miserable. But she wasn't aware that his life was equally miserable. Everything is just a big misunderstanding."

Her voice choked, but she took a deep breath before continuing, " I don't know what to feel. I am happy to stay by his side, but it's not a good feeling to pretend to be someone else. He loves Zhao Ming, not me. "

" The love and affection he has towards me are because he thinks I am Zhao Ming. Even though it's not my fault, I still lied to him and took Zhao Ming's place. Aunt Shen Jia, do you think that he would hate me if he finds out that I am Xie Ming and not Zhao Ming?"

Shen Jia pursed her lips when she heard Zhao Ming's conflicting thoughts. She always felt that Xie Ming is an easy-going girl but now when she had opened her heart to her, she felt bad for her.

She never thought that this girl was thinking so much. It's indeed heartbreaking to think what will be Ji Cheng's reaction when he finds out that Zhao Ming is not Zhao Ming but Xie Ming.

She sighed and was about to comfort her when she noticed something behind Zhao Ming.

She immediately stood up and stared at Zhao Ming in shock, " His.. Majesty?"

Zhao Ming was confused at first but realized that she was not looking at her but behind her. However, her words made her freeze on the spot and she slowly turned around towards the door.

Her eyes widened in shock seeing Ji Cheng standing at the entrance of the chamber with cold expressions.

"-_-"

She hurriedly stood up and looked at Ji Cheng with stunned expressions. Her palms clenched onto her dress nervously.

The door was not closed properly and because of this Ji Cheng could see her from the outside.

Ji Cheng pushed open the door and entered the room while staring at Zhao Ming with puzzled expressions.

" What did you say? You're not Zhao Ming but Xie Ming? What is the meaning of this?" Ji Cheng's expressions were confused and shocked.

"-_-"

Zhao Ming's expressions turned pale when she heard his words. Her lips quivered as her eyelashes fluttered trying to grasp the situation.

She swallowed her saliva and pursed her lips and was about to say something when Shen Jia spoke.

" His Majesty, Xie Ming is the name which I gave her when she was young. So we were just talking about that." Shen Jia said with a polite smile on her face.

Zhao Ming glanced at Ji Cheng with hesitance and wondered if he believed her words or not.

" Then why was she saying that I won't like her because she is Xie Ming, not Zhao Ming?" His brows knitted together as he looked at Shen Jia in confusion.

" It's because these days she has become more energetic and playful, that's why she wondered if you like her or not since she has changed drastically from her past self. You know that since she has woken up from the coma, her personality has changed a lot. She was just worried if you still like her or not. Nothing serious."

Shen Jia answered naturally without wavering. Her expressions were calm and composed as she stared into Ji Cheng's eyes.

Zhao Ming was glad that she answered in her place because she was too startled to say anything. [ Read this novel on W e b n o v e l . c o m ( remove spaces). If you are reading this elsewhere, then this novel is pirated. Support the original author, not thieves. Regards Kamlyn]

Hearing Shen Jia's words, Ji Cheng glanced at Zhao Ming with a smile and asked, " Zhao Ming, why are you still thinking about this thing? Didn't I tell you many times that I love this side of you more? I am glad that you learned to love yourself and found a way to deal with all the people who looked down on you in the past."

" Moreover, my love is not that shallow. It won't waver no matter what happens. I love you and that's the truth." He said while looking into her eyes with his tender gaze.

Zhao Ming pursed her lips and tried to fight with her stubborn tears.

' It's because you don't know anything Ji Cheng. I hope your feelings.. won't waver when you find out the truth.'

A tear rolled down her cheeks but as soon as it did, she wiped her tears and said, " Why did you come suddenly? You disturbed our emotional conversation."

" Ah, I forgot to tell you that Grandmother Shuren has asked you to go see her and select the jewelry for tomorrow's banquet. " Ji Cheng stared at Zhao Ming who was trying to smile but she looked a little strange.

Her face was pale and she looked a little depressed. He doesn't know what is the reason for her depressed mood.

Zhao Ming pursed her lips and said, " You could have sent any maid to inform this. Was there any need to come here all the way just to tell me this?" She asked with a frown. His surprise arrival almost made her jump in fear.

He smiled and said," Because I missed you." he said while leaning closer, his nose almost touching hers.

* Ahem*

Zhao Ming pushed him away when Shen Jia coughed lightly to remind them that they are not alone.

Zhao Ming pursed her lips and gave him a side glance and tried to hide her crimson face.
