Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 366 - Did She Find Out?

Yu Kang was caught off guard when he heard Zhao Ming's remarks. His gaze darkened as he looked at her and found her smile eerie.

He felt goosebumps in his body seeing her smile.

' Why does she look so confident? Does she know anything?' he clenched his fists tightly as sweat beads started forming on his forehead.

Zhao Ming noticed the few changes in his body and how his pupils started to roam around in nervousness.

The doubt she had previously was confirmed with his flustered behavior.

Wen Ru who was standing by the side was confused when he heard Zhao Ming's words.

" Zhao Ming, what do you mean by underhanded deeds? What are you trying to say?" he looked at Zhao Ming and questioned her why she said those words earlier.

Ji Cheng was also confused by Zhao Ming's words. He looked at her and waited for her response.

Zhao Ming didn't reply to Wen Ru and looked at Yu Kang who was drenched in sweat.

When he saw Zhao Ming's gaze in him, he became alert. He looked at her and retorted her words while retorting, " Your highness, are you doubting me? I have given precious 20 years of my life in the service of Wen Family."

" I never regretted it because Master Wen always respected me and treated me like a family. But here you are coming and doubting my loyalty. Does the royal crown give you the right to look down on anyone? Do you don't care about other people's sentiments? " Yu Kang's words touched people's hearts as they nodded in acknowledgment along with him.

Zhao Ming raised her brows and looked at the way he was trying to get people on his side. She sneered and said," Are you done? You said so many things, so can I take them as your confirmation that you didn't do anything underhanded and was always loyal to Brother Wen right?"

Zhao Ming was least interested in his words and only wanted to prove that this man who is talking about loyalty has been cheating them for don't know since when?

Yu Kang tightened his jaw and said, " Yes. I have always been loyal to Prince Wen and Wen Family. " He believed that Zhao Ming could not find anything and was just bluffing.

Zhao Ming smiled and looked at Wen Ru," Brother Wen, can I ask you a favor? "

Wen Ru was caught off guard when she suddenly spoke to him. He was in a daze and nodded his head.

" Can you show me your account book of this year so that I can show you why I am saying such words?" she said in a gentle tone with her gaze directed on Yu Kang.

Yu Kang got flustered and wondered, ' Why does this girl need an account book? What is she planning to do?'

" Prince Wen, you can't show an account book to her highness. How can you show her our shop's account details?" Yu Kang looked at Wen Ru and said he was worried about showing an account book to the outsider.

Zhao Ming raised her brows and said, " Brother Wen, I want to see your shop's account book not as the Empress of Ji Dynasty but as your little sister. You said that I can ask you anything, right?"

Wen Ru was surprised when he heard Zhao Ming's words. He fell in a daze as his lips turned in an " Oh. "

Ji Cheng's expressions turned gloomy when Zhao Ming talked to Wen Ru in a sweet tone.

He turns his head to look at Zhao Ming who was looking beautiful and charming with her innocent smile mixed with confidence.

His stiff expressions turned gentle when he saw her smile.

Wen Ru who was looking at Ji Cheng was feeling goosebumps seeing his changing expressions. One moment he was angry and the other moment, he started smiling. historical

' This man is weird.' he shook his head as he found his brother strange.

…

Wen Ru asked someone to bring the account book while Yu Kang was fidgeting on his place.

He nervously looked at Zhao Ming and wondered, ' Why am I feeling nervous when I know that this girl can't do anything to me? She won't even understand what's wrong with the account, so there is no way she will be able to prove her words.'

Zhao Ming gave Yu Kang a mocking look before taking the account book in her hands.

She placed it on the counter and opened it to take a look at it.

Yu Kang was standing behind and looked at Wen Ru, " Prince Wen, today you have humiliated me. I? have served the Wen family for so long and you guys are treating me like this. I know that I did wrong by worrying about the shop and stopping her highness from knowing the information about her accounts but do I have to get treated like this just to prove my loyalty"

Wen Ru was put in an awkward situation when he heard Yu Kang's words. Yu Kang was his father's loyal man and has followed his father around that's why he has appointmented him at The Royal Brush because he has trusted him.

But now hearing Zhao Ming's words, it seems she has some doubts about him.

He is surprised as well from her behavior but he doesn't know why he believes her more than the man who has worked with him for a year and who has followed Wen family for so long.

Wen Ru didn't say anything to Yu Kang and stood there silently while watching Zhao Ming looking at his account book.

Ji Cheng was also standing there and was staring at interest seeing her looking at the account books keenly.

After a while, Zhao Ming closed the account book and turned to face Yu Kang.

Yu Kang was surprised when he turned around. His lips curled upwards as he was sure that Zhao Ming was unable to find anything because she has looked at the book only for a while.

Zhao Ming's face was devoid of any expressions but when she saw Yu Kang's smile, her lips curled upwards automatically.

" Supervisor Kang, is this account book maintained by you or someone else?"

Yu Kang frowned when he heard Zhao Ming's authoritative tone, " I manage this account book." He answered her plainly.

" So there is no one else to check the accounts? You manage the shop and also the accounts and there is no one to check it? Right?" Zhao Ming looked at Yu Kang and asked in suspiciously.

Yu Kang frowned and said, " Prince Wen checks this book from time to time. But your highness, what are you trying to say?" His jaw tightened because her gaze was mocking and looking down at him.

He started to feel uncomfortable from her gaze.

' Did she find out? How can that be possible? Even Master Wen didn't find anything these years, so how could this girl find anything?' his hands clenched tightly as he looked at Zhao Ming.
