ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY

Zhao Ming was startled when she heard his question. Her body froze hearing his words which made her body go stiff.

She cautiously raised her head and looked into his eyes which seemed to be looking at her with an unexplainable gaze. 

She pursed her lips and wanted to get up when she realized that he had loosened his grasp around her back. She looked at him and felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

She didn't wait for a minute and got up from him. When she got up in a hurry, she felt a cramp in her neck. 

' Ah, it hurts. Wasn't Zhao Ming active enough? Then why does my body feel so stiff? Is it because I don't do anything the whole day?' 

She wondered if because of her laziness, this body has started to get tense. 

A frown appeared on her face when she felt a sharp pain in her neck. She raised her hand to massage her neck but before she could do so, Ji Cheng had already sat up and stretched his hand to touch her neck. 

Zhao Mng was stunned for a minute when he stretched his hand towards her. She dodged his touch due to her reflexes.

Ji Cheng's gaze darkened when he saw her actions.

Zhao Ming felt slightly guilty seeing his gloomy expressions.

Ji Cheng reached out again and this time Zhao Ming didn't avoid his touch.

She was stunned because Ji Cheng was massaging her neck. The Emperor of the Ji Dynasty was massaging her neck?

' What an honor.'

 Ji Cheng didn't say anything to her and started massaging her neck. 

Zhao Ming turned his back to him so that he could massage her neck properly.

She trembled when his cold hands came in contact with her skin. She felt relaxed because he was using the correct amount of force.

She closed her eyes and enjoyed his massage. Ji Cheng didn't say anything and was massaging her neck. 

His gaze faltered when she gathered her hair and pulled them to the front. Her pearl white slender neck came into his sight. 

His palms started feeling hot. 

When Zhao Ming has thought that Ji Cheng forgot about his question and was started to relax, 

At that moment, Ji Cheng spoke again. 

" You didn't answer my question." 

Zhao Ming opened her eyes in shock and was bewildered because she has no idea how she should reply to this question.

" Ahm, your highness, I am not sure what you're trying to ask? Of course, I didn't get my memories yet, otherwise wouldn't I have informed you before about it? " She stuttered while lying to him. 

She felt guilty because the truth is she does not have memories. After all, she is not Zhao Ming. She was panicking inwardly because she was worried if he had found out something. 

' Did that old man tell him about something?' She remembered about the Old man who came to check on her earlier and was also Zhao Ming's uncle as well. 

…. 

Ji Cheng's hands paused which were massaging Zhao Ming's neck.

" Oh." he didn't say anything else and just casually replied and continued massaging. 

Zhao Ming: " - _-"

Zhao Ming was puzzled when she heard his one-word response. 

' That's it? Doesn't he have anything more to ask?' 

" Your highness, why did you ask that question?" she cautiously asked him while turning around to face him.

Ji Cheng stopped massaging her neck when she turned around and looked into his eyes. 

" No reason. I was just curious about it," he said calmly. 

Zhao Ming stared at him with a strange gaze.

' No reason? His question out of curiosity made her heartbeat like hell. She was so scared that he found something and he said, no reason?' 

' Is he out of his mind?' she cursed him inwardly while putting a forced smile on her lips. 

" Aren't you sleepy anymore?" he asked her, seeing that she had no intention to sleep. 

" Yes. I am not feeling sleepy anymore," she said while rubbing her head awkwardly. 

They stayed here so that she could rest but now her sleep disappeared from her eyes since he asked that question. 

His question made her so shocked that she lost all her sleep and was now fully awake. 

Ji Cheng didn't say anything further and just stared at her. 

Zhao Ming felt uncomfortable under his gaze because the silence was killing her. 

" Ahm.. His highness, if there is nothing more, can I go out to see the area around?" she asked him, waiting for his response. 

Ji Cheng pursed his lips and said, " No." 

" Why?" Zhao Ming felt upset because she wanted to go out and he was denying her. 

She wanted to look at the market around and wanted to visit other shops in the area as well but here he is denying her request.

It's not fair. 

She came here to have fun but other than having fun, she was doing everything.

" Because it's not good for you to go out in this state. Even if you're not sleepy but it's not right for you to go out yet. "

Ji Cheng does not want her to go out yet because they got into an argument an hour ago and at that time she looked pale. 

Even if she looks fine now, he still doesn't want her to go yet. 

Zhao Ming's expressions fell when she heard her words. 

However, she can't argue with him at this moment. After all, they especially came here because of her and were staying the night here as well. 

She can't always do everything according to her wishes. 

" Okay. I won't go anywhere. But can I go and walk in the garden? That's in the Royal Brush pavilion." she tried to compromise with him. 

He has accepted most of her demands, so she can also accept a few things as well. 

Ji Cheng looked at her and thought for a while, " Okay. But if you feel unwell, do tell me. Don't roam around even if you feel uncomfortable. "

Ji Cheng was worried about her that she might get exhausted from all of this and feel unwell. But he was worried that she might not tell him about it. 

Zhao Ming nodded and got off the bed without waiting for another minute. 

She went out of the room hurriedly after fixing her hair and dress. 

Ji Cheng sighed seeing his hyperactive wife.
