Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 235 - I Want To Live My Remaining Days Peacefully.

Zhao Ming was looking at everyone and observing their expressions.

A slight smile appeared on her face seeing their amused and satisfied expressions.

Wen Ru looked at Zhao Ming and said, " Thank you for giving me this present. I will use it well."

Zhao Ming smiled at him and nodded.

Xiao Li also looked at her happily and said, " Sister, thank you for this gift. I will use it well." she said with a smile on her face.

For a moment, Zhao Ming was surprised by Xiao Li's happy behavior because it was the first time that her words seemed sincere to her.

' Does she like it that much that she actually forgot the enmity between us?'

It seems that she just found out the secret controlling Xiao Li.

Zhao Ming did not say anything to her but just give her a smile with her lips pursed together.

She was kinda afraid of her changing behavior and attitude. She liked the old Xiao Li better because at that time their relationship was clear.

They were enemies.

But with sudden friendliness and gentle attitude, Zhao Ming felt goosebumps seeing her bright smile.

Ji Cheng didn't say anything and kept looking at the box in his hands.

He was wondering about does she always liked to do things like this? But he never saw her getting excited about dressing up or something.

However, now she was making her own unique style of cosmetics and was giving more attention to her style and clothing.

Her walking style, eating style, even sleeping style also changed. Does this because of amnesia only or something else?

Zhao Ming looked at him who was in his thoughts while holding the aloe vera gel box.

" Your highness, what happened to you? Don't you like my present?" she said politely.

Seeing a quiet and confused look on Ji Cheng's face, Zhao Ming felt that he did not like her gift.

' He must have thought that it's for ladies that I gave it to him. Tsk. Can't he just smiled a little for the sake of formality?'

Ji Cheng looked at her and shook his head. " It's nothing. This is very good. I will use it well." he said while raising his box and showing it to her with a slight smile on her face.

After that Wen Ru went to his room which was given to him because he used to stay here whenever he comes so he already has his room here.

He wants to meet Wen Xu but she was not in the palace and went to meet her friend in a nearby village and will come a few days later.

Zhao Ming was happy that Wen XU was not in the palace and she will relax and rest for a few days without any issues.

When Zhao Ming and Xiao Li exited the palace to go to their chambers, Xiao Li asked Zhai Ming who was going towards her chamber, " Sister?"

Zhao Ming turned to her when she heard Xiao Li calling her out. " What is it?"

She was confused because the way Xiao Li was behaving was quite different.

Xiao Li smiled at her and said, " Sister, you're not angry with me for barging into the room in the morning right? I did not do that intentionally. I really came to check on you when I get to know that you fainted last night." she said with a wronged and sorry expression.

" Mother wanted to see you and abruptly opened the door without knocking it before. I know it's our fault that we didn't take permission before entering. I am really sorry if we have upset you." she said with her head hung down.

Zhao Ming felt weird seeing her behaving this way.

' Does the villains in this world, change instantly?'

Zhao Ming forced a smile and said, " It's okay. I am not bothered by it. And it was not strange for me and highness to be together, so what's there to be embarrassed about? I know his highness should not have shouted at you and Empress Dowager but please don't take his words to heart."

" He just wanted to protect me and was worried about me. And it was indeed inappropriate for you to barge into the room like this because what if we were doing something? I mean you should not enter into anyone's room like this. It will be embarrassing for you if you had to witness something inappropriate." Zhao Ming said with a sly smile on her face.

" I don't have any issues with you. So don't take anything yo your heart. Relax." Zhao Ming patted Xiao Li's hands and turned around to leave without letting her say anything.

Xiao Li: " - _ - "

' This bi*ch.' Xiao Li gritted her teeth in anger when she heard her words. She was directly implying that what if they were doing something? How could she speak something shameless?

Xiao Li was planning to fix her impression on Zhao Ming because it seems that she does not believe her words like before.

In the past, Zhao Ming never doubted Xiao Li even once because she also pities her because she was the second wife of the Emperor.

She never thought that between her and Xiao Li there is personal enmity and always believed that Xiao Li was a naive and innocent girl because she was very innocent and obedient in front of Zhao Ming.

It was Wen Xu who compared both of them and always favors Xiao Li more. But Zhao Ming never thought it was Xiao Li's fault in this.

However, from the last few days, Xiao Li was feeling uncomfortable because Zhao Ming does not listen to her words anymore.

When she heard Zhao Ming's words just now, she felt relieved that she has no problems from her and only blames Wen Xu.

However, her words and actions didn't match. She said her words and then left. She didn't even wait for her to complete her words.

Though she did say that she has no problems with her but it seemed like she was showing off and provoking her.

Xiao Li could not figure out what she was thinking. She gritted her teeth but didn't say anything.

Zhao Ming and Lu shi left together to go towards the lotus pavilion. When they walked quite a distance away from Xiao Li, Lu shi asked, " Miss, why did you say that you have no problem with her? Did you forgive her?"

" How could you do this? She is just pretending to be nice and nothing else."

Zhao Ming looked at her and smirked lightly, " Lu shi, do you think I am too magnanimous to forgive her? I am just not in the mood to fight with her and moreover, she didn't say anything wrong."

" She was trying to make me believe that she didn't mean to barge into the room but it was Wen Xu. Do you think that I am stupid enough to believe her words? She looks innocent but she definitely isn't."

" But I will not attack her unless she does something to me. I am not here to fight with anyone. I just want to live my remaining days here in peace." she said while walking and adjusting her gown.

Lu shi didn't say anything and just followed.
