Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 714 - Don't Call My Name!!

Ji Cheng stared at Zhao Ming with his widened eyes in shock. His hands clenched into a fist as he looked at her face in disbelief which was the same as before but the words that he had just heard....caused him to think about many things that he had ignored.

After she woke up from the state of being unconscious for three weeks, her words and actions were different from her previous self. The well-mannered, calm, and composed Zhao Ming suddenly turned into a clumsy, loud, and glutton Zhao Ming.

The way she talked, walked, and even slept, everything changed. He thought that all of this happened because of her memory loss, but even after her memories came back, she didn't change to her old self. Her actions were the same as before- clumsy and loud, unlike her previous self.

The only thing that didn't change was her...face.

He scoffed at his stupidness when he realized that he was being lied to all this while. He was so lost in his love for her that he didn't notice that the person in front of him was not even his Zhao Ming.

If she didn't fall into a deep slumber this time and he hadn't witnessed the way Shen Jia did rituals for her and saved her from that wrecking pain when she woke up from the state of being unconscious, he wouldn't have doubted the whole situation.

He was suspicious that there was something that he was unaware of and only Zhao Ming and Shen Jia knew about it but he didn't know that the secret was this big. If he hadn't heard Zhao Ming's words mistakenly, she might have lied to him forever.

Zhao Ming stared at him with her watering eyes and looked at Ji Cheng wanting to say something but he raised his hand to stop her from talking whenever she tried to say something.

Tears filled in her eyes as she felt her throat choking, suffocating her. Her eyes turned red, filled with tears as she watched Ji Cheng standing there in a daze while he tried to understand the whole situation.

The expressions on his face, the look of dejection in his eyes were making her miserable and heartbroken.

" Ji Cheng...I...I didn't try to lie to you. I just…" she started talking when she saw him looking at the ground in disbelief.

" DON'T CALL MY NAME!"

Zhao Ming was shocked when she was cut in between by him when he raised his head and said the words coldly while staring at her as if she was some stranger.

" Ji Ch-

" I said STOP CALLING MY NAME. Only Zhao Ming has the right to call me with my name, and you're not my Zhao Ming," he said while looking at her coldly, however, the pain was visible in his eyes which was making her more guilty.

She remembered the day when he gave her permission to call him by his name saying that other than his mother, she was the first person to call him by his name. All the consorts call him by his title only and cannot even dare to call him by his name as they can be punished for their audacity.

However, that day she realized that he might be an Emperor, but he is not as ruthless as she had imagined him to be. There is an innocent and playful side of him, that he had only shown to her.

He wanted her to call him by his name because he wanted to appear as Ji Cheng in front of her and not as the Emperor, however, today he was taking that right back from her.

Ji Cheng gritted his jaw seeing the tears filling in her eyes and the way she was trying hard to not let them out. His heart broke into pieces seeing her crying appearance and that too because of him, however, he can't find himself to let go of the fact that she hid the biggest secret from him and pretended to be Zhao Ming.

He took a deep breath and walked to Shen Jia, passing by Zhao Ming, and didn't even glance at her in the process, ignoring her existence.

He stood in front of Shen Jia and looked into her calm yet complicated gaze, " You're Zhao Ming's Aunt right? You knew that this girl wasn't Zhao Ming and yet you supported her? Why? Don't you love Zhao Ming?"

Shen Jia looked at him and could feel the frustration and anger piling inside him with his loud tone and the dark gaze in his eyes.

" I care for Zhao Ming, that's why I supported this girl. Your Majesty, Xie Ming is not the kind of person you think. She didn't lie to you on purpose, she was-"

" So her name is Xie Ming?" he scoffed in disbelief but still didn't look at Zhao Ming.

Shen Jia stared at him and didn't say anything seeing him burning in anger right now.

" Yes. She is Xie Ming. She came from-" after a while, she started to speak only to be cut by him again.

" Where is Zhao Ming? I just want to know about her. What happened to her? Didn't you say that you will save her? What happened about that?" He asked coldly.

Shen Jia stared at him and let out a sigh before saying, " Yes. I did say that and saved her. I saved her and sent her to a safe place, where she can be alive and live her life happily. Because if she had stayed here, there was no way she could stay alive and be rescued from that accident."

" So I used my powers and sent her away from here. She is in the world about whose existence, nobody knows that, because that's called the future." Shen Jia said calmly.

Zhao Ming grasped the edge of the table and clenched it tightly to support herself. She glanced at Ji Cheng who was staring at Shen Jia with his confused dumbfounded expressions.

" Future? Where is it? Send me there as well, I will go and bring her back." He said determinedly while looking at Shen Jia.

Hearing his words, Zhao Ming felt her world torn apart. His every word and concern for Zhao Ming felt like he was stabbing her with a sword. However, she wasn't even surprised because she was expecting something like this to happen when he finds out the truth. historical

But still, it hurts. It hurts to the point that everything started to seem useless to her. The look in his eyes, the love he had for her before has changed into hatred now.
