Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 323 - This Man Is Too Handsome To Be True

Zhao Ming was startled when Ji Cheng suddenly got up from the bed and started walking towards her in long strides.

While he was walking towards her she could see his robe which was floating behind and giving him a domineering aura which was making him look more attractive.

His fair skin and muscled chest were peeking from his layered clothes but it was enough to make her mind go numb. She licked her lips as she felt them dry.

She stared at him in a daze and she didn't even know when he appeared in front of her and towered over her. She was short in comparison to him and when he stood close to her it made her look much shorter than him.

In truth, she was not short. It was just that he was too tall.

' It's not fair.' she mumbled in her breath.

But her complaints paused when she saw his chiseled chest from close and his sharp jawline which was calling her name. She gulped seeing him so close.

She shook her head to get rid of these dirty thoughts from her mind.

She tried to step back to create a distance between each other but when she took a step back, he took a step forward.

This continued until she got bumped against the table placed in the room and there was no room for her to step back anymore.

She was trapped between the table behind her and Ji Cheng in front who was towering over her with his overbearing and charismatic appearance.

She raised her head to look at his artistic features and how soft his lips looked. She involuntarily pursed her lips seeing his lips from close. His charisma cannot be hidden and she just stared at him in a daze.

' The god must have made him with much care that's why he looks so artistic and beautiful. How can a man be this handsome?'

She felt her mouth dry because the distance between them is very less and she could feel his breath over her head.

Zhao Ming gulped in nervousness and asked, " What.. What do you want?" she stuttered while speaking in nervousness.

Ji Cheng raises his brows and says in a low husky voice, " bath."

Zhao Ming was bewildered when she heard his reply. What does he mean by Bath?

" What do you mean? Ji Cheng, I.. Am going to take a bath and I won't listen to you. I am bathing and that's final." she announced as she tried to push him away trying to create a distance between them.

She thought that he was stopping her to take a bath and get ready prettily.

Ji Cheng raised his eyebrows when she called him by his name like this. Even though she was angry, his name called by her mouth sounds so intimate and sweet this way.

She did not use any formalities and just casually called him by his name like she used to address Liwei.

It was the first time Zhao Ming has addressed him by his full name without any formalities.

However, rather than being rude to him it sounds more intimate.

His lips tucked upwards as he held his wrist and pulled it down not letting her push him away.

Zhao Ming was surprised when he held her hand to stop her pushing him away and she felt more nervous seeing the passionate gaze in his eyes.

There is that unexplainable charm in his eyes that she could see and was making her nervous by the time.

He keeps coming closer to her and she was forced to bend down but this didn't stop him coming close to her.

She lost her balance due to bending at the table so much and was about to fall when he held her by the waist and pulled her closer.

She was shocked when he suddenly pulled her closer and now she was held in his embrace with their faces so close that she could feel his breath on her face.

Her face turned red from him being so close to her. Her breathing became heavy because of their proximity.

She could feel his cold hand which was holding her waist even from the layers of clothing.

She was getting nervous because he didn't even blink his eyes even for a minute and was staring at her right into her eyes.

" What… are you doing? Leave me. I need to go." she tried to wriggle out of his grasp but he was tightly holding onto her and instead tightened his grasp around her waist pulling her closer.

This made his nose brush by hers which sent an electric shock to Zhao Ming's body and her whole body went numb.

Though it was not the first time they had such intimate contact, it is somewhat different.

The gaze in his eyes was passionate and stubborn.

Then he leaned in and went near her ears in which process his moist lips brushed by her scarlet red cheeks.

She unconsciously held onto his arm to manage her balance because she was feeling her legs weaken.

He leaned in and huskily said in her ears in a low voice, " I need to bathe as well. And you will help me." he said in an extremely low voice as his lips brushed by her earlobes which were red from the embarrassment.

Zhao Ming's eyes widened in shock when she heard his words and when his lips brushed by her ears making them turn crimson red.

Her body slightly trembled in his embrace.

A smile plastered on his lips as he felt her body shivering in nervousness.

He loves her reaction whenever he teases her. He was just teasing her but does not want to back out this time.

He wanted to see how long he could go. There won't be any better thing if she takes this prank seriously.

It will be the best moment if she gives him a bath herself. Then he doesn't mind her taking a bath either because bathing together is not a bad idea.

A sly smile replaced on his lips as he saw her red face when he raised his head and saw her expressions.

Zhao Ming opened her mouth to say something but seeing the smile on her lips she closed it once again.

' This man is getting bolder day by day.'

She could not believe that she heard this thing from Ji Cheng's mouth. Because he was the same guy who used to get shy when they held hands together.

' Is this how he behaves in private? Do men change completely when they are in public and in private?'

He was being too forward by asking her to bathe him.

She gulped just thinking about what if she has to bathe him herself? She could imagine his muscled body under the water and the water dripping from his abs making him more charming and handsome.

Her mouth felt dry as she stared at his body and imagined him standing naked in front of her. This made her face turn red from embarrassment.

'Pervert. ' she cursed herself for checking him out like this and turned her head away in embarrassment.

How can she stare at him like this? This is not how a lady from the royal family should behave.

She is now living in Zhao Ming's body so she should take this roleplay seriously. In this world, she is an Empress and should behave like one.

But her actions speak opposite from her title.

Zhao Ming was feeling helpless but his words kept ringing in her ears. She felt that Ji Cheng was joking so she tried to laugh it off and said, " His highness. Please stop joking. I don't have much time. So please let me go and let me take a bath first." she tried to get away from him.

But he held her hand tightly and didn't even let her move from the place. He stared at her with his dark orbit eyes and a seductive smile was plastered on his handsome face.

Zhao Ming looked at him in awe. ' This man is too handsome to be true.'
