The Curse (18)

After Xie Ming went to the hospital, Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng were left alone at home. Zhao Ming looked at Ji Cheng who was sitting in the living room alone and was trying to read the newspaper that Liwei was reading earlier. 

She walked towards him and stood behind the sofa, she peeked at the newspaper and pursed her lips seeing that he was reading the business newspaper in English. Her lips curled up in a smile seeing him staring at the newspaper with utmost seriousness. 

" So..what are you reading?" she leaned closer and asked in a low voice. 

Ji Cheng who was frowning while looking at the paper that was written in the foreign language was startled when he heard her words that sounded just like a whisper to him. He instinctively turned around to look at her and was surprised to see her face that was close to him, only a few inches away.
