Zhao Ming was surprised hearing Ji Cheng's concerned words. She was expecting him to stop her from working but his concerned reaction was a bit surprising to her.

Her lips curled up in a smile as she said, " It's fine, I can manage both. Moreover consort Jia shi is also there to help with the harem work. Because of her, my work has reduced to almost half. "

Ji Cheng nodded and didn't say anything afterward.

Even Wen Ru was also surprised seeing that Ji Cheng was not reacting the way he had expected.

In the end, Zhao Ming agreed to Wen Ru's proposal to help him manage his account books and also, produce items to sell in his shop.

She was pleased that she can finally do the work she enjoys the most. She has learned business and can manage it well, however, her main interest is in the fashion field.

She loves to create new items and products herself. And this will be a great opportunity for her to create new items which she can sell in Wen Ru's shop.

Moreover, Ji Cheng has also supported her idea to work with Wen Ru. She was pleased that Ji Cheng is different from the other men in this world.

He is not only very caring but supportive as well.

...

Wen Ru left the chamber after having a sumptuous dinner with Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming.

He was relieved that Zhao Ming had agreed to manage his accounts and this reduced a great burden from his shoulders.

After the dinner, Zhao Ming decided to take a bath to refresh herself. She was rummaging through her closet to find her purple-colored nightgown which was given to her by Ji Cheng.

That nightdress is more comfy and comfortable.

" Ah, here it is." She picked up her dress which she found deep under the heap of clothes. She made a mess of the clothes which had been neatly arranged by Lu shi. But she wasn't guilty a bit.

" What are you doing?"

" Ah, you scared me!"

She screamed in surprise when Ji Cheng suddenly approached her from behind and whispered in her ears in a low voice. [ Read this novel on W e b n o v e l . c o m ( remove spaces).

He didn't make any voice when he came behind her and hugged her from behind all of a sudden because of which she almost dropped her dress.

She patted her chest while trying to calm herself as she replied, " I was just searching for this nightgown to wear. But what are you trying to do here? Were you trying to kill me from the startle?"

His expressions turned dark as he stared at her with his cold expressions.

She pursed her lips and avoided his fierce gaze.

' Does he have to be so serious about it? It was just a joke'

" What is it?" She asked again when he didn't say anything.

" I am tired."

"-_-"

She was confused hearing his words. If he is tired then go and sleep.

" So?"

" I want to take a bath." He said with indifferent expressions.

She nodded and said, " Then go ahead. I will take one after you." She prepared to walk towards the bed when he grabbed her wrist and forced her to stay in one place.

" What.."

" I want to take a bath together." He looked into her eyes with his passionate gaze. She involuntarily shivered when his lips curled up in a devil smile.

Her mouth opened unconsciously seeing his unbelievably direct attitude. Before she could realize the meaning of his devilish smile, her lips were already sealed with his moist lips.

" Ah..mm" her legs went weak and she felt her body going weak due to his intense kiss.

His hands were tightly wrapped around her, sometimes pulling her close. She could feel the desperation in his kiss which made her surrender to his demands.

She held onto the sides of his robe and stood there like an obedient girl while he explored the insides of her mouth with his mischievous tongue.

After the intense kiss, he finally pulled away from her, leaving her panting heavily. Her face has turned crimson while her lips were swollen and moist.

Ji Cheng's breath hitched when he saw her enticing appearance and disheveled hair. Without waiting for anything, he wrapped his hand around her waist again and swept her from the ground.

Zhao Ming let out a startled squeal and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly.

He made her wrap her legs around his waist as he carried her towards the bathroom.

Zhao Ming was a little surprised and asked, " Aren't we going to bed?"

He paused in his steps and looked in the direction of the bed and then turned to look at her with excitement.

His lips curled up in the devilish smile again as he said in a low voice, " Later."

As he said this, he took her directly to the bathroom.

???

In the bathroom, Ji Cheng carefully dropped her in the large bathtub in which 5 people can sit comfortably.

Zhao Ming's clothes were disheveled and wet from the water in the bathtub. His eyes didn't withdraw from her face even for a second when he removed his clothes.

She took a deep breath when he stood in front of her with his bare upper body. Her eyes were fixated on his broad muscled chest, perfectly shaped abs.

She gulped in nervousness when he stepped into the bathtub. The large bathtub suddenly became so small and crampy.

" Ahh" she cried out in surprise when he picked her up and made her sit on his lap. Though he was still wearing his pants, they were fully wet and she could feel his throbbing shaft underneath.

Her body was glistening because of the water, and her wet hair was stuck on her neck and back.

" How can you become more beautiful every time I see you?" He murmured while nibbling on her earlobes.

She trembled when he ran his moist lips against her skin from earlobes to her neck.

He slowly turned her face and gave her a passionate kiss while feeling her curves over her wet clothes which became more obvious than usual.

" Argh," he groaned against her lips when he felt her hand roaming on his chest, abdomen, and going downwards.

His eyes snapped open and he paused for a moment when her seducing eyes came into his sight. She had her eyes open and was staring at him with the same amount of passion visible in her gaze.

Seeing his stiff expressions, she ran her hand down to his perfect abs while intensifying the kiss.

She shifted her position and strangled him with her arms wrapped around his neck as she intensified the kiss.
