Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 77 - I Slapped Him.

When Ji Cheng entered the room and saw Zhao Ming sleeping peacefully on the bed he smiled. It's been so long, that he had smiled again.

On the other side, Zhao Ming aka Xie Ming was sleeping peacefully despite her environment. She was a heavy sleeper while sleeping she kicked the blanket that was covering her. Due to which, her legs were exposed to the cold and due to her vigorous movements her dress has gone up.

When Ji Cheng went closer to her bed, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He saw her blanket on the floor, and her one leg was hanging out of the bed. Her dress has gone up which has exposed her milky white legs. He looked at her position and gulped.

He remembered when they spent their first night, he was not in his mind. Someone has spiked his drink which made him lose his control and he couldn't even able to talk to her or at least make her comfortable during their first night. He got to know later that it was his mother's doing. She just shrugged it saying that she just wanted a grandchild and it was normal to drink it on the wedding night. She had done nothing wrong.

At that time, he couldn't say anything but he was angry at his mother's behavior. He doesn't want to spend his first night like this, where he forgot everything and was not able to love her, but just fulfilling his lust. Whenever he remembers about that night, he hated himself for losing his control like this.

Back to the present, when he remembered all this and looked at the Ming, sleeping in front of him, he sighed. Then he walked towards her and picked up the blanket from the floor and covered her with it. Then it tried to tuck her leg inside the blanket. After that, he was properly covering her with a blanket, for which he bends towards her to cover her till her shoulders. When he bent with blanket, he got closer to her, he could see her pink lips, her pale face which was so close to her.

He looked at her lovingly, he stood there in that position for time and was busy admiring her. Then suddenly Ming opened her eyes wide. She got scared seeing him so close to her face and screamed, "Ahhhhh". In panic, she mistakenly slapped him hard on the face.

When he was standing there looking at her, she suddenly opened her eyes. He got flustered, he shook his head. But she got panicked and hit him on the face. When she slapped him, he was stunned. This was the first time that someone has slapped him, even his mother has never slapped him.

When she slapped him, he looked at her in disbelief. He never have imagined even in his wild dreams, that one day, Zhao Ming will slap him. He was in the same posture bent, but now his hand was moved from the Blanket to his face where she had just slapped.

Then he awkwardly stood straight and tried to look away, to hide the embarrassment in his eyes. He wasn't angry at her, how could he possibly be angry at her for slapping him. He deserves it. That's why he couldn't say anything. If she wanted to slap him more, he would happily comply with her as long as she will stay by his side.

On the other side, Ming was in a daze as she just woke up from her sleep and due to her fast reflexes, she mistakenly slapped him. When she realized what she has done, she just innocently blinked at him, trying to forget everything. But this thing will not be forgotten like this.

She looked at the handsome man in front of her, who was wearing a navy colored robe, his hair tied behind and his face was carved like an art. He was so handsome, that even Liwei was secondary in front of him. Then she looked around and realized she was in Zhao Ming's body and whatever happened at night, was not a dream. She sighed.

She then realized that this man is the same man whom, Zhao Ming loves.' She thought to herself. 'No doubt, why that girl was so crazy about him. I thought she loved him from her heart but in reality, she was also behind this pretty face. Humph, and I thought she truly loved him, she is just like me, crazy about handsome man.' she was busy in her imaginary world, that she forgot about her surroundings and didn't even apologize for her actions.

He looked at her, who was in a daze. He doesn't know what to say. Then suddenly two guards guarding outside barged in. Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming, both looked at them at the same time.

Ji Cheng stared at them with cold eyes, and spoke, " how dare you enter without my permission?"

Scared with his dangerous aura, the one guard quickly replied, " Ahm, your highness, we heard the scream of the Empress. We even knocked before but when we got no reply so we had to enter,.... for safety purposes." he deliberately added the last part, otherwise, Ji Cheng will kill him.

Then Ji Cheng looked at Ming who was staring at the guards, still in a daze. He sighed and waved the guards to go away.

The guards also didn't continue the conversation and turned around to leave.

As they left the room, a sudden realization hits her, she looked at him with a confused look and asked while stuttering, " His hi... Hi... Highness?" she suddenly remembered after those guards words, that he was not only the man that Zhao Ming loves but also her husband and more importantly the Emperor of the Ji Dynasty.

She had never seen anybody from the royal family. Though Jin's family is super-rich and has a high status in society but its different from the nobility. And now she was the Empress. She thought to herself, ' it wouldn't be too bad to live here if I could handle with her mother in law and that bi*Tch Xiao Li. But what about my phone.. and wifi?' She can live without shopping but her phone...What will she do without it?

As soon as she asked him if he is the highness. Though he was confused but still nodded. When Zhao Ming figured this, the first thing she said was, " F*ck" she exclaimed with a shock expression on her face, she covered her mouth with her hands.

She had slapped the EMPEROR. She thought, " I never have imagined that I will die as soon as I came into this world. '

' I have seen so many historical dramas, and if anybody tries to hurt the emperor, the only punishment for them was..... To kill them.

She thought to herself, ' Am I going to die again, just because of my fast reflexes and clumsiness.'

Then she looked and stared at the ceiling, ' God, what wrong have I done, to punish me like this. Why are you so adamant to make my life a living hell. First, I woke up in the ancient time, second I slapped the emperor on my first morning in this weird place.'

If you have sent me here, at least just let me live here peacefully, why are you playing your dirty tricks on me. ' she thought to herself with almost crying expression.

Ji Cheng followed her gaze at the ceiling and then again looked at her.' What was she thinking?

And what kind of language is she speaking? I never heard this kind of language. ' He looked at her with a confused expression.
