Chapter 536 - What About Ji Cheng?
Shen Jia stared at Zhao Ming while thinking about something. Her brows frowned as she thought about something.
"Xie Ming?" Shen Jia called her while gazing at her.
Zhao Ming was caught off guard when she suddenly called her with her real name.
" Yes"
" Do you remember your last moment as Xie Ming? I mean what do you remember the last thing about your last life?"
Zhao Ming stared at Shen Jia in confusion wondering why she asked such a strange question.
" Erm...the only thing I remember about my last moment is the water. I died by drowning in the swimming pool. I think someone pushed me into the water." Zhao Ming said while trying to remember about that moment.
Unfortunately, she doesn't remember clearly about her last moment. What happened that day or who pushed her? Nothing.
The only thing was she remembered was, she was standing by the side of the swimming pool and someone pushed her.
….
Shen Jia pursed her brows while staring at Zhao Ming.
Seeing Shen Jia's expressions, Zhao Ming asked, " Why? Is there any problem?"
Shen Jia pursed her lips and didn't reply. She closed her eyes and didn't say anything.
Zhao Ming didn't say a word all the time and just stared at Shen Jia. Some time passed and she didn't even open her eyes.
Suddenly Shen Jia opened her eyes which scared Zhao Ming.
' Ah, she scared me.' Zhao Ming placed her hand on her chest to calm her nerves.
Shen Jia looked at Zhao Ming and sighed.
" I never thought that fate can play such a joke." Shen Jia sighed bitterly as she looked at Zhao Ming with a smile.
"-_-"
" Ermm...what do you mean? Is there some problem?" She couldn't understand why Shen Jia suddenly became so philosophical.
" You wanted to know why you and Zhao Ming changed souls? And if it was to happen then why only you, right?"
Zhao Ming raised her brows and nodded urgently. She was really curious about this fact.
" It's because you both are connected by the same fate. It's because you, Xie Ming, were the reincarnation of Zhao Ming. That's why her soul transferred into your body when you were on the brink of death." Shen Jia said without any expressions.
" Reincarnation? Me?" Zhao Ming's mouth opened in shock as she had a hard time to digest this fact.
Shen Jia nodded.
Zhao Ming felt her head getting heavy after hearing Shen Jia's words. Things are getting too complicated for her.
Then suddenly she remembered something. She looked at Shen Jia with bright eyes and asked, " Then what about Ji Cheng?"
" Like Zhao Ming's reincarnation, was Ji Cheng also reincarnated??" Zhao Ming asked in a hope that it might give comfort to her heart.
Even though Liwei and Ji Cheng don't have the same face, they might be related just like her and Zhao Ming.
Shen Jia didn't say anything and suddenly stood up.
" Your Majesty" she bowed lightly while facing Zhao Ming.
"-_-"
Zhao Ming felt a chill down her spine when she heard Shen Jia's words.
She pursed her lips and didn't dare to turn around. How could she forget to close the door properly before starting to talk about such confidential yet complicated matters?
" Aunt Shen Jia, how are you feeling now?" Ji Cheng walked inside the room and stood beside Zhao Ming while looking at Shen Jia.
Shen Jia was surprised but smiled mildly and replied, " Thanks to you, I am feeling better now. "
Ji Cheng nodded and turned to look at Zhao Ming, " You should have told me if you're coming here. When I went to the chamber, I found out that you're already here."
" You..how come your court ended early today?"
" I didn't have much work today. So I came early" he replied casually while looking at her.
Shen Jia smiled seeing the loving exchange between the two.
Zhao Ming felt awkward while being like this in front of Shen Jia. After all, she is Zhao Ming's aunt.
'But wait, am I not Zhao Ming's reincarnation as well? So in that sense, I can be with him right?' Zhao Ming wondered if it is alright for her to act this way.
….
" Aunt Shen Jia, I am really sorry for not treating you the right way the last time. At that time, I wasn't aware that you're Zhao Ming's aunt." Ji Cheng apologized about the time when he met her for the first time.
" It's okay. You don't have to apologize for it. Zhao Ming is fine now and that's all we want."
Zhao Ming pursed her lips and chose to remain silent. She was worried if Ji Cheng had heard their earlier conversation or not.
Ji Cheng nodded in agreement as she glanced at Zhao Ming lovingly.
" Were you both talking about something important earlier?" He asked Zhao Ming who looked a little panicky.
She immediately shook her head and said, " No. Not at all. I was just asking aunt.. about her health."
Ji Cheng nodded upon hearing her words.
" Your Majesty, aunt is weak, so I think we should let her rest a bit. We can talk to her again later." Zhao Ming suggested as she felt a little awkward between the two.
" Ah, you're right. We should let her rest.".
He turned to Shen Jia and said, " Aunt Shen Jia, we take our leave now. You can ask servants, anything you want.".
Shen Jia nodded.
Before going out, Zhao Ming looked at Shen Jia and mumbled, " We'll continue our conversation later."
Shen Jia pursed her lips and turned her head away.
"-_-"
After Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming left, Shen Jia turned around and sighed.
" I wish you two would stay happily in this life." She sighed as she went back to her bed.
