Eternal Love: A Love Story Chapter 348 – Why would I go anywhere?

Zhao Ming was in a daze when they reached her chamber. She was just staring at Ji Cheng when he brought her back to the lotus pavilion.

When she got out of her stupor she realized that she was sitting on her bed. She looked around in confusion and saw Ji Cheng changing his clothes in the room.

Her eyes widened in shock as she closed her eyes hurriedly with her hands. ” Your highness, what…what are you doing here?”

Ji Cheng who was removing his upper gown looked at perplexed Zhao Ming. His lips curled upwards as he replied innocently, ” Changing clothes.”

Zhao Ming: “-_-”

Zhao Ming was speechless when she heard his words. She can also see that he was changing clothes but why in front of her and her room?

‘ Shouldn’t he go to his room now? It’s been so long that he keeps coming here.’ She wondered as she saw him removing his inner gown as she tried to peek behind her hands.

She was still covering her face but she peeked at his perfectly built body with abs. She was surprised to see such a muscled body under those heavy gowns. 

His body is truly breathtaking and she stared at him between her fingers.

‘ Why can’t he go to his rooms? He is making me anxious by staying a night here again.’ she raised her brows as she saw him changing out of his own.

Even though she is glad for his support that he just showed in front of Xiao Li and Wen Ru but after that, he should go to his room.

Why does he always come back to her chamber?

She gritted her teeth and continued, ” Your highness, I mean why are you changing your clothes here? Aren’t you going to your room?”

When she completed her words, she realized that she said something wrong. Her words were too direct.

Ji Cheng paused in his actions and looked at Zhao Ming who was still covering her face due to embarrassment.

Her ears have turned slightly red when he notices them. He chuckled lightly and said,

” Why would I go anywhere? This is my Empress’s room, so I should sleep here. Aren’t you changing your clothes?”

He walked to her when he was done changing. He sat beside her and made her hands put down.

Zhao Ming’s face turned red when she heard his words, ‘ aren’t you changing your clothes?’ These words make her hands go cold in nervousness.

These words sound so ambitious that her mind started to wander on another track. She coughed lightly and said, ” I will do that later. But his highness, you should go to your room to sleep. My bed is not that big and it will be uncomfortable if we sleep together. We need to get up early tomorrow, so you need to have proper rest.” 

She tried to convince him so that he would go back to his room and let her have a good night’s sleep. 

Ji Cheng looked at her and raised his brows. He pursed his lips and looked at her without blinking his eyes away. 

Zhao Ming felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

Ji Cheng smiled seeing her flushed face and said, ” I feel more comfortable sleeping in this bed. And if this bed is too small for you then you can sleep while hugging me like last time. It will be more comfortable this way.” His lips curled upwards as he said his words. 

Zhao Ming blinked her eyes innocently as she bit her lower lip. Her face flushed at his words. 

She coughed lightly and looked at him again when she remembered something. She looked at him seriously as she wondered if she should ask him this or not.

Ji Cheng sensed her hesitant gaze and asked, ” Do you have something to say?”

Zhao Ming bit her lower lip and said hesitantly, ” Your highness, I..I don’t know if you misunderstood my intentions. I just wanted to tell you that Brother Wen and I have nothing going on. I just asked him to go out because I wanted to see around and also I am interested to see his shop. That’s it. There is …”

Before she could complete her words and say that there is nothing else between us, Ji Cheng interrupted her and said ” You don’t need to explain anything. I know that there is nothing between you two. I didn’t take Xiao Li’ words to heart because I know my brother and you too. I didn’t doubt you even for a moment, so relax.” he held her hand in his as he said with a smile at her.

Zhao Ming felt something in her stomach moving when she heard his tender words. She looked at him and nodded. It feels pleasing when someone says that they believe you.

She was worried that he just said those words in front of Xiao Li and did not want him to misunderstand something.

She was worried at first but when she heard his reply she felt relieved.

She looked at him and felt uncomfortable for a minute because it’s bad that Zhao Ming had to leave before she could see such a gaze in eyes. She doesn’t know what happened between them and what were their reasons but she realized that Ji Cheng was not that bad as Zhao Ming thought.

….

When Zhao Ming came after changing her clothes in the bathroom, she saw him lazily lying on the bed. 

She pursed her lips as she hesitated before going to bed. She had to go to the bathroom to change her clothes because he is in the room.

Like him, she can’t possibly change her clothes in front of him. It’s like giving him what he wants. So she had to take a tour to the bathroom just to change into a nightdress.

She sighed as she walked to the mirror and sat in front of him. She combed her hair and looked at him from the mirror. He was reading those doc.u.ments that he left in her room before going to the feast.

She stared at his extremely handsome face which was looking more charming while he was reading those doc.u.ments seriously. 

But when he suddenly turned to her side and saw her staring at him from the mirror, he raised his brows as a charming smile appeared on his face.

Zhao Ming froze when her eyes met his from the mirror.
