Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 216 - Does Her Highness Dislikes Me That Much?

Zhao Ming doesn't know anything about the mysterious so-called Master Wen Ru in front of her so she just smiled awkwardly when her eyes met his gaze.

Wen Ru has heard about Zhao Ming going into the coma before but he didn't get the news of her waking up.

Today he came from his trip to the country P where he went to see some items which he wanted to trade with them and directly came to see Wen Xu because he missed her birthday banquet.

He was traveling for two weeks as it takes quite a long time for traveling from one country to another on a horse.

…

Lu shi looked at Zhao Ming and she understood from her blank expressions that she could not recognize Wen Ru.

But she could not tell her about him in front of him as she was just a maid and it is not suitable for her to speak up like this.

She just stood quietly on the side with her head down and hands clasped tightly in front of her.

Wen Ru looked at Zhao Ming with amusement because she was staring at him with a blank and confused expression on her face.

The way she was standing was not straight and feminine. Her shoulders should be upright and her standing stance should be straight but instead, her hands were on her side with loose and relaxed shoulders.

Zhao Ming was having trouble in perfecting her body to stand up and sit properly because the palace has too many rules to eat, sleep and walk.

" Didn't her highness recognize me?" he finally spoke when he saw the confused look on her face.

Zhao Ming smiled awkwardly. She felt weird when he directly ask her this question.

She wanted to reply to him but when she opened her mouth to speak something, she heard a sweet and innocent voice of a girl, " Master Wen Ru. You came back from your trip to the country P?"

It was Xiao Li.

With Xiao Li, there were her two maids who were accompanying her. One was holding an umbrella for her and the other one was carrying a hand fan in her hand to fan Xiao Li in the hot blazing sun.

Zhao Ming turned around to see Xiao Li who was walking elegantly in short steps to them and was smiling innocently and beautifully.

Any men could not help but smile seeing the beautiful smile of hers but Zhao Ming felt creepy when she saw her smiling like this without any reason.

' How can she give a fake smile looking so natural.' Zhao Ming was wondering inwardly.

When Xiao Li finally walked up to them, she stood beside Zhao Ming and looked at Wen Ru with her bright and clear eyes.

Xiao Li was coming to the palace hall but walked into the garden because she saw Zhao Ming standing there. But when she came near she realized that Zhao Ming was not alone but was with someone else.

Seeing Wen Ru standing in front of her, Xiao Li's lips curled upwards. She wanted to teach her a lesson for the insult in the morning.

Wen Ru frowned when he saw Xiao Li coming to them.

Xiao Li politely greeted him and the polite greeting he just nodded slightly at her as he was not interested in talking to her.

Xiao Li has noticed that Wen Ru was not interested in her but she pretended to be more close to him in front of Zhao Ming and said, " Brother Wen Ru, How was your trip to P country?" she asked him with a smile.

Wen Ru frowned when he heard ' Brother' from her mouth. They were not close enough to call each other brother and sister but she was insisting on showing their close relationship to Zhao Ming.

Xiao Li wanted to show her that unlike her everyone likes her and she was more popular and likable among everyone.

Wen Ru furrowed his brows and replied coldly, " It was fine."

His cold and distant reply made Zhao Ming lost her senses as she giggled lightly.

She wanted to laugh out loud but couldn't do so because everyone was staring at her, but when she heard Wen Ru's cold reply she lost it.

Wen Ru turned his attention to her and saw her smiling face, unknown to him a smile spread across his face as well.

She was looking extremely beautiful while smiling.

Xiao Li frowned when she saw Wen Ru smiling at Zhao Ming. Moreover, she was angry at the fact that Zhao Ming dared to mock her in front of Wen Ru.

Her face has turned crimson red with embarrassment.

Xiao Li looked at Zhao Ming annoyedly and asked, " Sister, why are you laughing?"

Zhao Ming finally stopped herself from laughing and bite her tongue to keep calm and turned to Xiao Li and said, " Because it's funny." she said plainly.

She was not afraid of Xiao Li nor Wen Xu because she knows what she is capable of. She was just staying here temporarily. She will find the reason for her being her and will go back to her world.

Xiao Li's eyes grew wide in anger when she heard Zhao Ming's bold words.

' How can she insult her like that in front of Master Wen Ru?' her fists turned into fists in anger.

She wanted to say something when she heard a pleasing voice of laughing which was mellow to their ears.

Zhao Ming and Xiao Li both turned to see Wen Ru who was laughing.

Xiao Li was surprised when she saw him laughing like this. Though he was playful but she had not seen him laugh like this.

He was only friendly in front of Ji Cheng? Wen Xu. He has never been friendly to Xiao Li even once.

Xiao Li frowned seeing him laughing like this.

Zhao Ming was also surprised to see him laughing like this because he was looking more attractive while smiling.

Xiao Li sternly asked him, " Master Wen Ru, what is so funny?" she asked with her teeth gritting in anger.

Wen Ru stops and looks at her with his usual cold self and said, " Nothing."

He simply said a single word to her and then turned his attention to Zhao Ming and said, " Her Highness hasn't replied to my question yet? Does her highness, dislike me that much?" he asked charmingly with his deep and mellow voice.

Zhao Ming was surprised when he suddenly asked her about the question that he asked before.

She also finds Wen Ru interesting because he was the first man who was ignoring Xiao Li and trying to strike a conversation with her.

Of course, she liked this. Because she also doesn't like Xiao Li. How can she hate the person who hates Xiao Li as well?

But she had to be careful because he seems to have a close relationship with Wen Xu.

In this palace, she can't believe everyone. She had to be careful.

Otherwise like in drama, she will be killed as well.

' That's scary.' suddenly her hair stood up in fear when she remembered how Empress was killed in the drama she had seen before.
