Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 157 - I Don't Meddle In Son And Mother's Affairs

As Ji Cheng and Wen Xu argued, Zhao Ming was looking at them with a bored expression.

' It's only a noodle. Is there any need to make a fuss out of it?' she felt irritated with these irrelevant arguments.

She was hungry. She wanted to eat, but now everyone was busy looking at the argument between the mother and son.

She got annoyed seeing their argument.

She looked at the noodles that were getting cold and soggy by the time.

She looked at the other people in the hall who were watching Ji Cheng and Wen Xu's face off. historical

She shrugged her shoulders and ignoring the intense atmosphere she decided to focus on her noodles.

She picked up her chopsticks and slurped the noodles. But as she slurped a mouthful of noodles, she couldn't help but make a noise.

" Sshh."

Though she knows table manners. It's not that she was uneducated or uncultured.

But she has never eaten these kinds of noodles. Its taste was so amazing that she couldn't help but to make a satisfactory noise while eating noodles.

And how could one eat these tasty noodles without making a slurping noise?

But as she filled her mouth with noodles, everyone's gazes turned towards her.

....

When Ji Cheng and Wen Xu were staring at each other. Others were looking at them holding their breaths.

The atmosphere was intense, they couldn't even breathe loudly.

They heard the noise and everyone turned to look towards the noise, including Ji Cheng and Wen Xu.

When they turned towards the noise, they found Zhao Ming, whose mouth was full of noodles.

Both of them were fighting because of her and these damn noodles and she was busy filling her stomach.

...

When Ji Cheng looked at Zhao Ming, whose mouth was full of noodles, the residue soup was around her lips.

She was eating like a baby with her mouth full.

He can't help but chuckle at her childlike behavior.

It's a very rare scene seeing someone eating so happily without minding others and their surroundings.

Wen Xu and Xiao Li was looking at her with a sense of disgust.

...

As she was eating, but suddenly everyone's gazes turned towards her, she got startled and started coughing loudly.

She choked on her noodles and started coughing badly.

She hit her chest with her fist several times to calm down but can't help but cough.

Ji Cheng took a glass of water and passed it to her to drink.

She took the glass and gulped it down in nervousness and coughed lightly.

Ji Cheng stretched his hand to pat on her back.

Xiao Li's face turned black seeing his care towards her.

She looked at Zhao Ming and said, " Sister, his highness and mother were arguing because of you. And here you're eating noodles?"

" Shouldn't you persuade his highness to not argue with mother for the sake of peace between them and that you don't need Aunt Qiao Dan to cook for you. After all, she is old and only cooks for the royal family. "

She said righteously.

Though Zhao Ming deserves to be served by Qiao Dan as she was the Empress and high in rank after Emperor and Empress Dowager.

But Wen Xu didn't allow Qian Dan to serve her before because she never considered Zhao Ming as the Empress.

Because Xiao Li couldn't be served by her and Xiao Li complained that how much she liked Qiao Dan's cooking and couldn't have it as she does not hold any royal title.

So how could she let Zhao Ming have something that even Xiao Li can't have it.

As Wen Xu has argued with Ji Cheng, she thought she would target Zhao Ming rather than Ji Cheng.

...

When Zhao Ming heard Xiao Li's words, she furrowed her brows.

She didn't want to argue with her on the dining table when her precious noodles were waiting for her.

' They won't even let me eat peacefully. Okay, fine. You want to chat then let's chat.'

She picked up the napkin in front of her and cleaned her hands and mouth with it.

As she placed a napkin back on its place she looked at Xiao Li and said, " Why would I say something between son and mother's affairs?"

She said innocently.

Xiao Li looked at her in disdain and said, " Weren't they fighting because of you? I think you should say something. You should deny that you don't need Aunt Qiao Dan to serve you, peace is more important than these noodles."

She was getting annoyed with Zhao Ming's calm expressions.

It annoyed Ji Cheng when he heard Xiao Li's words; he wanted to say something but Zhao Ming squeezed his hand that was on the table.

As his hand was on the table everyone saw her actions and they started whispering to each other.

By now Zhao Ming was also used to their one-sided narrow mind. So she ignored their whispers.

Her actions also surprised Ji Cheng and turned to look at her.

She focused her eyes on Xiao Li and coldly said, " Firstly,

I never asked his highness to get Aunt Qiao Dan to serve me."

"Secondly, even if she serves me, I don't see that there should be any problem. Because I am the Empress. I am also holding a royal title, so according to the rules she should serve me from the start."

" But before this, I never objected to this thing. I didn't want to look petty just because of that. "

"Now his highness wants her to serve me and wanted to give me my deserved right. I don't see any problems with it. "

" I don't know why everyone is making a big deal out of it. And I don't want to interfere between son and mother's affairs because it's not proper. That's why I keep quiet by now. "

" I don't like to meddle in other people's affairs you know," she said while folding her hands around her chest in a domineering manner.

Her face was cold and arrogant. She didn't sugar-coat her words and spoke directly.

She was not interested to continue chatting with Xiao Li. If she didn't speak directly, then she will find other ways to annoy her.

And she doesn't want to show them their violent side. Because this flower cannot handle her violent and crude side.

If she was provoked badly, then no one can save this Xiao Li from her claws.
