Eternal Love: A Love Story

Ji Cheng's ears perked up upon hearing Liwei's name from her. He glanced at her and saw her smiling while thinking about something. He couldn't hear clearly what she was saying but he couldn't help but glance at her at the mention of the other man's name.

He remembered that she had told him that Liwei was her husband in her past life as Xie Ming and before she came to Ji Dynasty they were not on good terms to the point that they were planning to separate from each other.

' If their relationship was so bad then why is she smiling while thinking about him?' he wondered and unknowingly clenched his palms into a tight fist. He doesn't why was he feeling enmity towards the man he hasn't even met yet or is it because Zhao Ming is currently living with that man? However, rather than thinking about any of the other possibilities, he was bothered about her smile which she didn't show him in weeks but was smiling while thinking about another man.

He didn't say anything but he didn't like her taking Liwei's name casually and was smiling while thinking about him.

When the taxi stopped in front of the Jin Villa, Zhao Ming got off from it and when she turned around, she saw Ji Cheng still holding onto the handle over his head tightly as if he was holding onto his life.

His eyes were shut tightly so that it could prevent him to see how fast this thing was and feel dizzy. She pursed her lips and tried hard to not laugh at his current situation.

They took a taxi from the hotel to Jin Villa since the hotel was in the suburbs of the city and took them more than two hours to reach here even through the taxi. Throughout the whole ride, Ji Cheng was tightly holding onto the handle over his head, with his eyes shut tightly in fear.

The fast speed of the car was making him dizzy and the fact that it was not moving like a horse or horse carriage was a more strange and dizzyful experience for him.

She told him that it is not some strange dangerous armament but a carriage just like a horse carriage but a more comfortable and fast one. He almost jumped off the car when the driver turned on the heater seeing both of them in wet clothes.

He couldn't believe that a strange carriage can be warmer than his chamber.

Not only that, but the driver also keeps giving them strange gazes through the rearview mirror during the whole ride. At first, he was not agreeing to give them a ride because of their clothes and Ji Cheng's strong reaction against the driver and his car. However, after hearing a bunch of Zhao Ming's stories, he finally agreed but was suspicious of them seeing Ji Cheng acting as if he was being kidnapped by her.

The man who is taller and heavier than her was acting like a kid and kept squealing whenever there is a speed breaker or highway where he increases the speed.

She sighed and forcefully pulled him out of the car which was warm and was making him sleepy. He looked even more tired than he does after coming back from working the whole day long.

She turned to the driver who was waiting for his payment and said, " Please wait for a moment. I don't have my wallet with me right now. I will go inside and send your payment through someone."

The driver nodded seeing the large villa behind her.

Zhao Ming led Ji Cheng inside the villa with him. She raised her eyes seeing that no one was standing at the entrance gate of the villa and directly walked towards the main door.

She sighed while looking at the enormous white villa and the large brown colored door. She rubbed her neck awkwardly while thinking about how long it has been since she came back to this place.

Her journey at this place was full of hurdles and arguments but she still missed this place and everyone.

She took a breath and was about to enter when she heard a high pitched feminine voice from inside, " Hey, hey, where are you entering? Who are you guys? Who let you guys enter here?" Yu Mei who was cleaning the living room came running and shouted seeing the two strange people entering the house and no one was stopping them.

Zhao Ming stopped in her steps and looked up at the girl who was coming running to her while trying to look fierce. Her lips curled up in a warm smile seeing that Yu Mei is still energetic as forever.

Ji Cheng frowned at the girl who was treating them as if they were some beggars. He is the Emperor of the Ji Dynasty but was being treated as if he is someone insignificant.

" You...how did you guys enter here? What is security doing that they let you guys inside the villa." Yu Mei said and frowned seeing their wet clothes. She has seen these people for the first time and they don't look like the acquaintances of Xie Ming or Liwei.

From their condition, they look like they were here to ask for some food or charity but since Xie Ming or Liwei was not at home, she could not give anything to the strangers and let them enter the house.

Zhao Ming looked at the girl standing in front of her and said in a low voice, " Yu Mei, it's been a long time, huh."

Yu Mei couldn't understand what the woman was saying but before she could say anything, she asked, " Where is Xie Ming or Liwei? Are they not at home?" she asked while trying to look inside.,

Yu Mei was speechless seeing the woman who was clad in traditional clothes that were wet and were asking for Xie Ming.

" You..you know them?" her tone suddenly became polite as she was worried that they might be Xie Ming's guests.

Zhao Ming smirked and said, " Of course. If I don't know them then who will? I am her soulmate." she grinned.

' I am your Miss you stupid ass. Your current Miss is fake. She is enjoying her life to the fullest while I am stuck with the love-torn man. ' she thought inwardly but chose to be civil while talking to her for now.

" Ah, they're not at home right now. You can?come later when they're at home." Yu Mei said politely to make them take their leave.

" It's okay. We can wait until they come back. Does Liwei still come around 11 pm or he started to come early now?" Zhao Ming passed by Yu Mei who was standing at the entrance and entered the villa while gesturing to Ji Cheng to follow her.

Yu Mei was speechless at the girl who was treating the place as hers and was roaming around the living room carefreely.

She laughed awkwardly while getting strangely familiar vibes from this woman, " Ah, Master generally comes home by 7 pm these days. He doesn't want Miss to have dinner alone so he always comes early."

' Tsk. What a hypocrite. He never came on time when he lived with me. So he didn't have extra work but was trying to avoid me? Haha, Liwei gonna hate me for coming back.' Zhao Ming smirked while looking at the living room whose setting was slightly changed, different from what she had fixed before.

She sat on the sofa in the living room and turned to Yu Mei who was staring at her dubiously, " Ah, I am going to wait for them here, in the meanwhile, you go and pay the fare to the taxi driver who is waiting outside."

" Pay the fare to the driver? Me? Why?" Yu Mei asked in confusion not understanding if this woman knows Xie Ming or Jin Liwei or they are just some experienced swindlers.

" Because I don't have money right now?" Zhao Ming said casually while shrugging her hands in the air. Ji Cheng didn't bother himself with their chat and looked around the extravagant luxurious place that was not grand enough to be compared with the palace. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

However, he couldn't help but be surprised by the strange things that he was seeing for the first time.
