Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 215 - She Seems To Be Someone Else.

Zhao Ming was sitting on the bench under the sun and was fanning herself with her hand to cool down a little.

She was feeling hot but this time she was determined to do something or find something fun to do. She can't spend her all-time inside her room.

She was waiting for Lu shi to bring water for her. She felt sticky and hot with her hair fall on her shoulders so she wanted to make a hair bun so that her hair won't annoy her.

She raised her hair and rolled them in a hair bun. She was oblivious of the fact that a pair of eyes were staring at her intently all this while.

A few moments later when Lu shi came with water and umbrella in her hand, she first saw Zhao Ming who had her hair messily tied up in a bun and her legs dangling in the air like a child.

Zhao Ming had her back to the man who was staring at her intently and Lu shi came from the front where Zhao Ming could see her.

When Lu shi saw Zhao Ming's messy appearance she sighed and walked faster to make her with her immature behavior as it might create a problem if someone saw her like this.

It was a palace and there are some rules, especially for the women and the Empress.

But she suddenly stopped in her steps when she noticed a man behind Zhao Ming who was staring at her intently with a smile on his face.

Her face became ghastly pale as she opened her mouth to say something but no words came out.

Zhao Ming who was staring at her legs with no reason looked up and saw frozen Lu shi who was carrying water and umbrella in her hands.

She looked at her in confusion, ' Why is she staring at me like that?'

" What are you doing there? Come here. I am thirsty." she shouted when she saw that Lu shi was not moving.

When Zhao Ming shouted so loudly, Lu shi got startled and ran to her to stop talking nonsense.

She hurriedly ran over to Zhao Ming and said, " Miss. I am here, please don't shout." she said in a low voice to shut Zhao Ming up.

Zhao Ming stared at panicked Lu shi and tilted her head in confusion.

' Why she is behaving like this? '

Lu shi saw the clueless expression on Zhao Ming's face and sighed.

' Since when Miss became so low witted. Can't she assume that someone is behind her with my expressions? She is clueless when it comes to reading the hints.' she sighed as she felt helpless. historical

She ignored Zhao Ming's glare and looked behind her and bowed in greeting, " Greeting to Master Wen Ru."

Wen Ru who was standing there with his hands folded around his chest nodded in response to her greeting.

Zhao Ming raised her brow when she saw Lu shi saw greeting someone behind her. She thoughtlessly stood up and turned around to see a handsome man behind her whose eyes were shining like a star in the dark night.

The man was tall with broad shoulders and have a slim and muscled body which made him look manly. She can't see any fat on him and only his toned body can be seen.

His hair was black with his perfect long nose bridge and his sharp chin and thick brows made him more charming and long eyelashes were cherry on top of his good looks.

He was a handsome and charming man and also a perfect bachelor in Ji Dynasty.

He was the cousin of Ji Cheng and Wen Xu's nephew. He is the prince of the Wen family who was a powerful family in the Ji Dynasty.

They have married their daughter Wen Xu in Ji Family who became the Empress Dowager later after giving birth to Ji Cheng. After her becoming the Empress Dowager, the position of Wen family increased to 10 folds in the country.

Wen Xu was Wen Ru's aunt and he frequently comes to visit her. Wen Xu also liked him a lot as he was the same as Ji Cheng's age but he was more bright and playful than him.

Wen Ru used to come a lot in the Mansion to meet with Ji Cheng and Wen Xu.

Many times, he was used to staying at the palace. He has a good relationship with Ji Cheng and Wen Xu and frequently visits them.

In the past, when he stays at the palace, he didn't have many chances to interact with Zhao Ming as Wen Xu didn't let her come in front of guests unless they wanted to meet the Empress.

And whenever he saw her, she always talked very less and Wen Xu would scold her every time in front of him.

So he assumed that Zhao Ming was not smart and always creates problems for Ji Cheng because he only heard Wen Xu talking about her and she always bad mouths her in front of him.

He never got a chance to interact with her, so he doesn't know much about him.

Just now he saw her behaving so casually which increased his curiosity for her.

When Zhao Ming turned around and their gazes met, his body froze for a moment.

Her face was slightly red and she was also sweating and her forehead was covered in sweat beads which made her more attractive and tempting.

He has never seen someone look so beautiful even when she was sweating and her hair folded in a messy bun.

Zhao Ming was still confused and dazedly looked at the handsome guy in front of her who was wearing a navy blue robe looking charming and manly.

She doesn't know who he was but she could understand that he was not a? regular man from the way Lu shi greeted him.

She nodded lightly at him in greeting because Lu shi was shooting daggers at her to behave properly.

She inwardly sighed, 'I am her master or she is mine?' she was confused if she was really her master or not.

Wen Ru raised his brows in surprise seeing the casual and informal behavior of Zhao Ming.

In the past, she always used to greet him shyly and they never had a conversation with each other because she was too shy and not only that she was afraid that Xiao Ki and Wen Xu would misunderstand her relationship with him.

The things that Xiao Li could do were not allowed for Zhao Ming. Wen Xu was biased and discriminates between the two daughters in law of hers.

That's why Zhao Ming always talked less and busied herself in other works. She was not social and outgoing and polite like Xiao Li who always treats him like a friend and talks to him shyly.

He talks to Xiao Li because she was Ji Cheng's wife and Wen Xu's favorite but he personally doesn't like her.

He felt that she is too much and always think that everything in this world roams around her.

He doesn't like girls like her, that's why he didn't marry yet despite his family's pressure.

Wen Ru released her hand and put them by his side hanging and nodded lightly at Zhao Ming in greeting while staring into her dark mystic eyes.

In looks, she was exactly the same as before but he felt different vibes from her.

It felt like she was not Zhao Ming that he saw before but...someone else.
