After hearing Zhao Ming's words, Liwei nodded his head seriously and when everyone was quiet and was looking at Zhao Ming in worry, he broke the ice and asked, " Then...it means you're going to stay here? I mean forever? Or is there a way for you to go back?"

Zhao Ming frowned upon hearing his words and glared at him, " Why? Are you disappointed that I am here? Aren't you happy to see your ex-wife? That's upsetting Liwei." she commented, making him purse his lips awkwardly.

" Ahem, it's not that I am disappointed to see you. Our relationship was not that bad either, everything would have been fine if you had decided to have a conversation and not argue every time we talked." He said hesitantly, but his words made her chuckle remembering how they used to be before.

Her relationship with Liwei was not that bad, at least for her. She always used her time to annoy him to the point of making him pull his hair in anger. Her frustration with Xinyi and her father, she used to vent out all using shopping as an excuse and on top of that, the marriage with Liwei was something she hadn't asked for.

Her nature was quite lazy and rebellious made her act in a way that isn't compatible with Liwei. Both were hot-headed and that's why they managed to have a conversation and always ended up arguing. However, since he now has Xie Ming by his side, he has become less annoying and has become quite understanding.

Last night, after dinner he asked her to see him at his study. She was expecting him to ask her when she is going to return but his words surprised her completely.

-

" Xie Ming, there is something that I want to talk to you about. As you know, our relationship wasn't the best before you fell into the pool and went into a coma for three months. I even gave Xie Ming the divorce papers after she woke up from the coma since we were planning to part ways before that." He chuckled thinking about how childish his actions were in the past.

"....."

" Why are you laughing? Is it something to laugh about?" she stared at him indifferently and said coldly seeing him laughing about giving her divorce papers after she woke up from the coma. If it would have been her, she would have asked half of his wealth as the condition for divorce.

' How dare he act like a rude brat to her? Hmph, Zhao Ming was too nice to him.' she shook her head in disbelief, seeing how lovey-dovey they have become now.

He pursed his lips hearing her words and cleared his throat before continuing seriously, " Although we got married because of your Grandfather's request, I should have tried harder to make our relationship work as your husband. However, rather than being understanding, I kept Xinyi in my office who did no good other than creating problems. I apologize for not being good to you and treating you better."

Zhao Ming stared at him in shock and blinked hearing his words. " Well, If you apologize like this, what will it make me? It's not like that you were the only one in this relationship, I was at fault as well. If I had put some effort and had also understood your point of view, then we would have fought less."

" If I think about it, we always fought for nothing. Haha, seems like you were not my type from the start." she laughed at which he stared at her helplessly.

She scoffed and nudged him, " Now stop being so serious. I even forgot about those fights long ago. The palace life was too hectic to remember our petty lives." she sighed. It was true. Fights with Liwei were nothing compared to the fights she had gotten involved in the palace.

" And I know that you're just being nice because of Xie Ming. She has straightened your petty personality and made you a fine man. Treat her well dude, don't let her be taken away by that sneaky Emperor."

Liwei frowned upon hearing her words. That's right. He needs to be careful and not let that man roam around Xie Ming. " You also need to buckle up, don't act as a 'damsel in distress' and act like a 21st-century woman. Rather than defense, use the attack strategy."

She raised her brows and smirked upon hearing her words. " That seems like a good idea."

-

After breakfast, Liwei was about to leave for work, when Zhao Ming stopped him," Yo, Mr. ex-husband, where are you going? How can you leave for work without saying goodbye to me? That's rude." Zhao Ming commented, making Ji Cheng raise his eyebrows at her not so formal words.

The way she called him ex-husband was bothering him for some reason. Although it was true, he was still not happy.

Liwei frowned and glanced at Xie Ming and saw her dim expressions. She wasn't saying anything but her expressions were not the best either. He pursed her lips and turned to Zhao Ming and asked in an irritating tone, " Now what you want? You're aren't expecting me to serve Your Majesty the whole day, do you?"

Zhao Ming smiled and gulped down the orange juice and licked her lips before saying, " Do you think that you're that entertaining that I want you to stay with me the whole day? You're annoying as hell, you know! Just give me your card. I need to go shopping."

" Shopping? What do you want to buy? You have all the clothes and everything you need, then what else you need?" He asked suspiciously.

She frowned and responded, " Hah, see, you showed your pettiness again. I am back to this world after so long and you aren't even willing to give me your card? Stingy President!" she said, making Liwei's lips twitch in frustration.

" Here, use this. But not much. And also take Ji...His Ma..this man with you as well. Rather than you, he needs stuff if you guys are going to stay here." He said but stuttered while calling Ji Cheng with his name and calling him His Majesty sounded awkward.

Zhao Ming chuckled and glanced at Ji Cheng before nodding. " Okay."

" Ah, Zha...Xie Ming, are you free now? Can we talk?" Zhao Ming looked at Xie Ming who was helping Yu Mei clear the table and asked her to spare her some time to talk.

There are things that they need to talk about and they can't do that in front of these men.
