Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 443 - Why Did You Close The Door?

Ji Cheng wanted to tell Zhao Ming that he trusts her and since she has these powers she can do whatever she wants.

He doesn't want her to get intimidated from anyone even if that person is Xiao Li or his mother.

However, he didn't expect her to be this straightforward. Generally, these things were spoken in an indirect way, but she chose to directly confront him.

A smile appeared on his lips seeing her confident expressions. She didn't even hesitate while asking this question. historical

" Yes.You don't need to worry about anyone, even if that person is my mother. You're my wife and the mother of the future Emperor, so there is no need for you to be worried about anything." he said with a warm smile on his face.

Zhao Ming's ears turned red hearing his words. He said, ' Mother of the future Emperor?'

Why does he bring children in every single thing?

She felt embarrassed and turned her head away from him, avoiding his eye contact.

She suddenly felt hot and said, " I think I should take a bath. Ah, it's too hot here." she doesn't know if she was feeling hot because of summer or because of his words?

Though she has a bold personality however, she felt extremely embarrassed and became shy when he said such words.

She wanted to fan her face but when she tried to raise her hand, she felt someone restraining her movements. She looked down and found out that he was holding her both hands in his.

She was speechless at his slyness. All this time, she didn't even realize that he was holding her hand.

She looked at him as creases appeared on her forehead.

Ji Cheng felt that she looked more adorable this way.

He chuckled and turned around towards her chamber, still holding her left hand. She tried to pull her hand, but he tightened his grip on her hand and asked casually, " Didn't you take a bath a while ago? You want to take a bath again?" he asked with a grin on his face.

Zhao Ming had no option other than to walk beside him, since he was not leaving her hand.

Her eyes were on their hands which were intertwined together. She didn't realize it before, but his palm was bigger than hers, and her hands looked smaller compared to his.

His hands were quite rough and manly.

After a few moments later, she felt that someone was staring at her. She looked away from their hands and raised her head.

When she looked up, her gaze met with his and she witnessed the pleasant smile on his face.

When he was talking to her and didn't get any reply, he looked at her only to find out that she was staring at their hands which were intertwined together.

He wanted to intertwine with her just like their hands. But he knows that he needs to give her some more time.

He needs to respect her feelings, for her to open up to him.

….

Zhao Ming pursed her lips and took a deep breath.

" You were saying something right? What did you say earlier?" Zhao Ming smiled awkwardly trying to get away from this uncomfortable feeling.

Ji Cheng raised his brows and asked again, " Didn't you take a bath a while ago? You want to bath again? Why?"

Zhao Ming felt that his 'why' was not as simple as it looked. There was a certain playfulness and hidden meaning behind his words.

She narrowed her eyes trying to read his thoughts. But as always, she failed.

" Haha. You're right. I forgot that I had a bath earlier. But it was just too hot today." Zhao Ming climbed up the few steps towards her chamber while trying to pull her hand from his grip but he didn't leave her hand.

Upon entering the room, he finally let go of her hand. Zhao Ming felt so relieved that she hurriedly walked towards her bed.

Just as she was about to sit down on her bed, she heard the sound of the gate closing.

She saw that he not only shut the door but was locking it from inside as well? .

Why?

They never locked it from inside all this while, but why now?

She felt her heart thumping so fast that it felt that it would come out any moment.

' What does he want to do exactly?'

Ji Cheng casually locked the door from inside and walked towards her and tried to control his chuckling seeing the posture she was in.

Zhao Ming was in the half sitting and standing position.

He composed himself and sat on the bed beside her.

" Sit down? Or do you have something to do?" he asked while grinning at her.

.

.

Zhao Ming swallowed her saliva and sat down realizing how awkward her posture was.

" Why did you close the door?" Zhao Ming asks while glancing at him suspiciously.

" I thought that it was not appropriate for us to keep the door open. Didn't mother and Xiao Li come last time so abruptly? And it's normal for us to close the doors. After all, we are husband and wife. " he said casually.

Zhao Ming frowned and thought for a while. His words do make sense.

WIth their door open, they have no privacy.

But why does he suddenly want to close the door?

She felt uncomfortable in her heart because he has become too casual with her since he talked about his feelings and asked for the second chance.

She wanted to ask this question to him but thought that she might be thinking too much. She nodded and didn't say anything.

" Should we sleep now? You must be tired since the journey."

Zhao Ming yawned when he said about sleeping. She realised how tired she was due to all the traveling and then she had to deal with Xiao Li and Wen Xu as well.

" Yes. I am sleepy. But let me go and change first. It will be uncomfortable to sleep in these clothes." she said before getting up to go and change her clothes.

Ji Cheng nodded and didn't stop her.

' They are indeed uncomfortable.' a sly smile appeared on his lips as he saw her taking her clothes from the chair that Lu shi had prepared earlier for her.

Zhao Ming pondered for a while when she saw the dress. It was her first time seeing this kind of dress.

" I have especially asked someone to make this dress for you. Since you don't like your current night dress because it feels hot, so I prepared this one for you. Is that all right?" Ji Cheng looked at her with no expressions on his face.

Zhao Ming looked at him with puzzled expressions. She was confused if he had done this deliberately or did he really wanted to just give her this dress?

In the past few days, he realized that she doesn't like heavy clothes. And she felt uncomfortable in her night outfit as well because it has full sleeves robes over it.

She cannot help but feel uncomfortable while sleeping because of the layers of her night dress that she has to wear in summer. That's why he has especially ordered someone to make this night dress for her.

' How can he see her uncomfortable?'

He wanted her to sleep peacefully, that's why he got her this custom made night dress for her. And not only one but he has ordered, dozens of night dresses like this.

Zhao Ming looked at the dress and wondered if it is right for her to wear this kind of dress at night?
