Chapter 592 - Am I Going To Be A Father?
Zhao Ming was eating her favorite spicy and flavourful noodles, her pleasant and satisfied expressions amused Shuren.
She has never seen a lady before eating with such gusto without hiding her satisfaction. Zhao Ming is..really different.
However, when Zhao Ming asked for another serving of noodles, Shuren was surprised. Because Zhao Ming was slim and didn\'t look like that she could eat so much.
Moreover, the serving given to Zhao Ming was already larger than others.
" Zhao Ming, are you eating for two?" Grandmother Shuren couldn\'t help and wonder if it is because Zhao Ming is pregnant.
"Pfft"
Ji Cheng who has a mouthful of noodles in his mouth, he choked on his food and almost spurted all out. But thankfully he covered his mouth with his hand in time but he couldn\'t help but cough as the spiciness hit the back of his throat.
Zhao Ming was startled when Ji Cheng suddenly started coughing violently.
She looked at him and his face had turned red and he was coughing violently. She patted on his back in worry and asked, " You okay? Here, drink some water."
Ji Cheng took the glass of water from her and drank everything in one go. After drinking water, he felt a little better. He wiped his mouth with a cloth and glanced at Shuren with embarrassed expressions.
Shuren chuckled seeing his flushed expressions and glanced at Zhao Ming but surprisingly her expressions were the same as before.
Seeing Zhao Ming\'s unfazed expressions she wondered, \'Is she really pregnant?\'
Xiao Li glared at Zhao Ming as she couldn\'t forget Shuren\'s question which Zhao Ming has not answered yet.
Is she really pregnant?
She started to feel uncomfortable because she knew that once Zhao Ming gave birth to the successor of Ji Cheng, her dream to become the Empress Dowager would be destroyed.
All the other consorts were looking at Zhao Ming with jealous gazes and were curious to know the truth.
Zhao Ming resumed eating but felt uncomfortable when she felt a chill down her spine.
She looked up and noticed that everyone was staring at her with curious gazes along with Grandmother Shuren.

"Did something happen?" She asked in a low voice as she couldn\'t understand why they were acting so mysterious.
Shuren pursed her lips and said, "?You didn\'t answer my question yet."
Zhao Ming frowned and tried to remember what she had asked for.
Suddenly her gaze turned bright when she remembered something, " Ah, about eating for two?"
Shuren nodded and waited for good news. If she is really pregnant, then she has already decided to stay here until her delivery because she can\'t believe Wen Xu for this task.
" Yes. I?am eating for two. " She said while nodding in agreement.

"-_-".

Everyone was shocked hearing her words. Shuren was surprised as a bright smile appeared on her face. She clasped her hands and was about to congratulate her and Ji Cheng but when she glanced at Ji Cheng, his expressions were stiff and puzzled.
" You\'re pregnant? Why didn\'t you tell me? When did you find out? " He was speechless when she casually said that she is eating for two.
It\'s not that he is not happy but he is more shocked. She knows that she is pregnant but she hasn\'t told him yet? It\'s such good news, why hasn\'t she told him yet?
Zhao Ming was surprised to see him acting like this. What is he saying?
" Who is pregnant? Me? When did I say that?" She asked with her bewildered expressions. [ 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]

Ji Cheng stared at her with puzzled expressions and said, " You just said that you are eating for two. Didn\'t you mean to say that I am going to be a father?"
His heart was beating fast in confusion and worry. She just said that she is eating for two but why does her expression say something else?
He felt a different kind of emotion in just a few minutes.
Zhao Ming stared at him and blinked her eyes in confusion, " Does it mean to be pregnant? I thought that Grandmother is asking if I am eating for the second time. That\'s why I said that I am eating for two."
She didn\'t have any idea that this phrase has this kind of meaning. Couldn\'t she just ask if she is pregnant or not? Why make words so complicated? Since she didn\'t understand what she meant, she just assumed that she was asking about her servings.
These kinds of phrases were used in her world as well but since she never met an expecting woman, she had no idea what phrases are used for pregnant women.
Her vocabulary is simple and direct. No complicated words

Everyone was speechless hearing Zhao Ming\'s explanation. Especially Shuren and Ji Cheng. They were expecting good news but Zhao Ming poured cold water on it.
On the other hand, Xiao Li\'s lips curled up in a relieved smile. She resumed eating while Shuren and Ji Cheng\'s appetite reduced after their expectations were crushed by Zhao Ming.
Ji Cheng glanced at her as he saw her eating noodles with such gusto and wondered how amazing it would be if she became the mother of his child.
He couldn\'t help but be overwhelmed with the emotions of thinking to have his own children.
He never got to experience the affection and care of a father because his father had died when he was young and after that, studies, battle training, and the pressure to take over the throne became a burden for him.
He couldn\'t experience the joy of childhood and has seen the bodies covered in blood at a very tender age and had experienced the cruelty of the battleground.
The Old Emperor who was his grandfather had managed the throne and it\'s responsibilities until he turned the eligible age to take over the throne.
He glanced at Zhao Ming and smiled thinking about the future when she will get pregnant with his child. Shuren noticed him glancing at Zhao Ming with his tender gaze while eating, she couldn\'t help but wonder, was this boy always this affectionate?
