ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY

Zhao Ming raised her brows and looked at Yu Kang with her cold and mocking expressions and asked, " Do you dare to say that you didn't disrespect me? And all you said is because of your ' sense of responsibility' towards your work?" 

" Do you dare to say that you weren't looking down on me because I am a woman and your personal opinion wasn't included in your words? " she looked at him with confidence. 

Yu Kang was shocked to see the exuding aura from Zhao Ming. He was surprised for a minute seeing her charm and the way she looked at him provocatively. 

At this moment, he felt that all the rumors that he heard about the Empress of the Ji Dynasty. She does not seem to be stupid and looks like a high born person with extreme confidence and charming aura in herself. 

He has heard that Zhao Ming does not belong to any noble family like other Consorts and she was just a daughter of a Military doctor who even tried to poison the Emperor Dowager. 

Her reputation among the public was not great and desirable because of the rumors that were spread in the city.  

He was slightly taken aback by her attitude just now. His expressions turned gloomy as he faced with her provocation. 

Even though she was strong and charismatic but she is just a woman. What can she do to him? 

He looked at her with disappointment and said, " Your highness, I have worked under Master Wen ( Wen Ru's father) and came here to assist Prince Wen Ru."

" I was loyal to the Wen family for my whole life and always thinks about the wellness of them. I only said those words out of my concern and it didn't have any other meaning. And I can't stop you if you want to make an issue out of it because you're the Empress and could do anything. I am just a lowly man who was doing his work with honesty. " he looked at Zhao Ming righteously. 

Now, many people have surrounded the shop to see the drama. He can't back out in this situation and has to stick to his words otherwise he will be making a joke of him if he gets intimidated by this little girl. 

Ji Cheng looked at Yu Kang with his darkened expressions as he spoke. 

Wen Ru was losing his patience as well while listening to his words. He looked at Ji Cheng whose expressions have turned dark and gloomy. 

He was about to scold Yu Kang and send him back when Zhao Ming gestured him with her hands to stop. 

He was surprised by her gesture and stepped back and didn't say anything. He was confused about why she was stopping him from speaking but he did as she looked at him. 

She smiled slightly at him seeing him stepping back. She looked at Yu Kang as her lips curled upwards in a sly smile as she said, " Oh really?" 

" Then how would you explain your behavior a while ago? You slept while showing me around the shop. You were looking at me like a joke when I was looking around and you think I don't know what's going on in your small head?" 

" Mr. Yu Kang, just because you're older it doesn't mean you can play this elder card with me. I treat people just like the way they treat me. Do you think I won't know the meaning behind this judging look? You think that you're a man so you can do anything? "

" Supervisor Yu Kang, you may be older than me but I have more experience than you. It's good that you weren't born in the future otherwise you would have made a joke of yourself because of your cheap thinking. "she mocked him as she looked at him with her piercing cold eyes. 

' I have seen the two worlds with my eyes so my experience is much more than his. Experience cannot be judged by age. Just because he is older than me, he thinks that he can behave any way he wants?' she sneered inwardly.

Ji Cheng was surprised by the coldness in her words. She was too direct in her words and didn't spare him any face. 

His expressions turned gentle seeing her feisty attitude. 

Wen Ru was stunned as well when he heard her words. It's the first time she came out of the palace and she has shown everyone her power on the very first day. 

Yu Kang was taken aback when he heard her words. He got flustered when he heard her words. 

She didn't bat an eye while saying that his thinking is cheap and has a small head. 

His hands turned sweaty as he looked at her, " Your highness. I know I have offended you because I didn't comply with your wishes but you can't blame me like this for what I didn't do. I know you're the Empress but you can't treat common people like this." he retorted and used his common people card. 

The people around them have started whispering and looked at Zhao Ming with their judging expressions. 

They all nodded with Yu Kang when he said that she can't be like this and treat common people unfairly.. The people can easily get swayed with these words and sometimes they don't even know what's happening. 

Zhao Ming looked around and saw the people whispering who had gathered around the shop and some of them were the people who came to the shop to buy something. 

She looked at Yu Kang and saw the mocking look on his face. Her expressions were plain but seeing his smile, her lips curled up as she said, 

" Supervisor Yu Kang I should compliment you for your wittiness. Just because you don't want anyone to see the account book and tell the profit value so that they don't know your underhanded deeds, you have shifted the attention of the conversation to another topic. You're good at this. Hmm?"

Zhao Ming looked at Yu Kang with her light expressions with her lips curled upwards as she looked at him with interest. 

Yu Kang was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhao Ming's words. His expressions darkened when he saw the mocking look on her face.
